Chapter 691

"Everyone, I think you've got the news. Yesterday, Friday, the Hollywood movie" dark city ", which has the most IMAX lens so far, took $126 million from the North American market in more than 4600 theaters."

Putting down the documents in hand, Richard gerfang, the head of IMX's Los Angeles branch, stood up and seemed to want to strengthen his tone in this way. "This is the latest one-day box office record in North America, which also has the credit of IMAX."

Everyone's eyes in the conference room were on Richard gerfon.

After clearing his throat, Richard garfang said, "nearly 200 IMAX studios in North America contributed $16.88 million of them! And the average attendance of all IMAX cinemas is more than 95%! "

As soon as the words fell, the meeting room immediately burst into a sea of applause.

Looking at the excited subordinates, Richard gerfang also felt that this move was obviously right. He had no doubt that IMAX cameras were still installed on high-speed cars. After all, the number of this camera of the entire iamx company can be counted by one hand. In case of any damage, he can't explain it to the head office.

Now it seems that I did not oppose it, but chose to support Murphy Stanton. I did it right!

As the applause died down, Richard gelfang sat down again and said, "from now on, we will fully cooperate with the publicity work of fox in the 20th century. The head office has given me a call to inform me that IMAX will invest as much resources as possible in" dark city ", and all IMAX cinemas in North America will join in the screening of" dark city " Among them, the number of theaters showing "city of darkness" all day will also increase from 80 to 140! "

After a few more specific instructions, Richard gerfang announced that the meeting was over and went back to his office. Looking at the poster of "dark city" hanging on the wall, he gradually had other thoughts in his mind.

Murphy Stanton seems to be a director of some old school, completely different from the technical directors like James Cameron and Robert zemikis. In fact, his understanding and application of new film technology is no worse than those of these technical directors. He even thinks that what Murphy Stanton hides in his heart is the soul of a technical school!

In fact, it is obvious that Murphy Stanton can enlarge the advantages of IMAX technology infinitely in his own films. No matter what, he must push IMAX company to continue to cooperate with Murphy Stanton and Stanton studio.

Thinking of this, Richard gerfon picked up the phone, dialed Murphy Stanton's number, waited for an assistant to transfer the call to the other person, and said a few words of congratulations with a smile.

As long as the other party is willing to continue to cooperate with IMAX company, let alone a few words of congratulations, even if he is going to work as a driver for him for a period of time, Richard gelfang is willing to.

Although after a one-day screening on Friday, the attendance rate of "dark city" generally declined on Saturday. In the afternoon, there was almost no queuing in front of ordinary 2D cinemas. However, unlike IMAX cinemas, the attendance rate has always been high, and it has risen slightly compared with Friday. After two days of word-of-mouth fermentation, the shocking effect of IMAX screening has been widely spread among movie fans It's said that although IMAX's more than 100 cinemas show "city of darkness" all day long, it still can't meet the needs of fans, and IMAX is hard to get a vote.

Because of his busy work, Alex Clement didn't go to the advance show and didn't pay enough attention to IMAX. He just went to see the ordinary 2D version on Friday and listened to the description of IMAX by colleagues and friends. He regretted making the wrong choice.

On Saturday afternoon, Alex Clement sat in front of his computer desk and refreshed various movie ticketing websites over and over again, but all the websites were mercilessly reminding him that the IMAX version of "dark city" has no tickets today and no tickets tomorrow!

"How could that be?" Alex Clement slapped himself on the forehead. "I've got a pig's head!"

Turn off all booking websites, Alex Clement opens Google search, takes out his mobile phone and dials IMAX's booking phone.

"I want to ask, when will tickets be available for" dark city "in Los Angeles?"

"I'm sorry, sir."

A beautiful female voice rang out on the phone, but what she said was something Alex Clement didn't want to hear. "The Los Angeles area is temporarily short of tickets, and it will wait until next Monday at the earliest."

"Next Monday?"

With a frown, Alex Clement was in some distress. Next Monday was a weekday, and he had to go to work. He thought for a moment and said, "excuse me, if I increase the price, can I get an extra ticket?"

As he has heard from friends before, IMAX cinemas in Los Angeles are extremely popular. In order to maximize profits and appease fans who can't buy tickets for "dark city" and refuse to leave, some IMAX cinemas put some chairs on the empty seats in the front row of cinemas, and then sell extra seats to fans.Although these positions are not particularly good, they are still very marketable under the temptation of IMAX version of dark city.

"I'm sorry, tickets are not available at the moment." The beautiful female voice once again rang out in the receiver, "the fastest way to add seats is to wait until Monday!"

After hearing this, Alex Clement had no choice but to say thank you and hang up.

Unable to book today's or tomorrow's IMAX tickets, and having nothing to do for the time being, Alex Clement stopped thinking about it and simply opened Google's website to search for the news about "dark city".

Among them, a report about imxa attracted his attention.

The protagonist of the report is the chairman of the board of directors of IMAX company. He talked about the lack of tickets for "Dark Knight" recently. "Not only are there no tickets for Saturday, but also for tomorrow and Sunday. Every seat has been sold. Even IMAX tickets for next Monday and next Tuesday have been sold by nearly 90%. We try our best to expand the range of screening, but the fans are too enthusiastic and have never heard of it There's a film like "the city of darkness," which has such a strong appeal

Seeing this, Alex Clement immediately realized that "dark city" is almost sold out of IMAX tickets for next Tuesday and next Wednesday? If you wait, I don't know when to wait.

He turned off the web page, thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Alex Clement picked up his cell phone, dialed a number again, waited for the other end to connect, put on a smile and said, "chief, it's me, Alex, that There's something I want to tell you in advance. "

On Monday, my father and mother came to see me from Louisiana. I want to take a day off to meet them at the airport

The computer seemed to ponder for a while, but finally agreed, "yes."

Alex Clement was overjoyed, but controlled his mood and said, "thank you, director."

Then he hung up. Alex Clement put down the phone, clenched his fist and yelled, "yse!"

After shouting, he picked up the phone, dialed the booking number of IMAX company, and ordered tickets for the IMAX version of the earliest movie "dark city" on Monday!

"Murphy is not human at all!" Alex Clement sat contentedly in his computer chair and said, "he's a god!"

Alex clement is not the only one who has such an idea. Many Murphy fans agree with similar views. On IMDB, Daisy's short comment on the next day on Friday afternoon was praised by countless fans. In the comment area of "dark city", it has become one of the most favorable comments by fans.

"The city of darkness is a nerve blowing masterpiece, and Murphy also uses this film to officially announce that he has left the ranks of earth directors and become a member of God! James Franco and Margot Robbie also announced their separation from the ranks of mortals. Their performances are also divine! "

In a short period of more than one day, this short review has received tens of thousands of likes!

In an independent house in Los Angeles, Daisy looked at the 9.7-point IMDB score of dark city, turned off her computer, walked out of her study, came to her dressing room, and looked at herself in the huge mirror, especially her smooth and straight blonde hair.

Since she was 18 years old, she has lived alone in Los Angeles. From her dead grandfather, she has continued to live in this house with thousands of square feet and a large amount of property. Although she has worked in the middle of the house, it is not long. After all, the money in her hand is enough for her to be at ease. As the leader of the IMDB discussion group of Murphy Stanton, she has made a lot of money in recent years.

Daisy has enough money to do what she wants to do and realize some messy ideas.

But she just thought about more ideas, which had never been realized before. Until the appearance of the magician, the magician seemed to be at the top of her mind, making her understand that being a bad person can be so charming and frightening.

If there's anything else in the world that can fascinate her except Murphy Stanton's movies, it's the ultimate evil!

"Magician, magician..."

Daisy changed into the magician's dress she bought. Although it was around the movie, it was well made. "Why is there no magician in the world?"

This is what makes her feel most regretful. Magicians only exist in Murphy's movies. In Murphy's creation and imagination, they are not people in the real world after all.

"Since there is no magician in the world, why can't we create a real magician?"

Thinking of this, Daisy picked up a pair of sharp scissors from the dresser, slowly lifted them up and put them on her neck.
