Chapter 870： You are the devil

Helena Christensen walked down to Eric with a glass of red wine and sat down. The action naturally cuddled up and asked, "Eric, how am I doing?"

Feeling the woman's fragrance that is completely different from Shantou, Eric smiled and nodded: "Well, not bad."

"It's just good," Helena Christensen seems to be dissatisfied with this evaluation. She still wants to say something. The eyes inadvertently noticed the sinister laugh on the other side of the white-breasted doll. It seems to think of something, and suddenly it converges. The gesture is also obviously with a bit of a courtesy tone to the girl: "Drew, when will you come to New York next time, play together?"

"Okay," Shantou smiled and nodded. His face was harmless, and he yawned in a blink of an eye. He squatted on Eric and said: "Eric, so sleepy, I will go back to sleep first. It is."

Eric can feel that Helena Christensen is a bit embarrassed about the girl. Although she is curious, she doesn't care. She gently lifts her waist and let her get up. She said, "I can't go now. Many people haven’t said hello yet, go back first.”

"Well," Shantou leaned over again and fell in love at Eric's mouth. He glanced at Helena Christensen and smiled. "I am back to the Trausdale Manor. Do you want it? I won't care if I come over."

"Oh, let's go, I will pass later," Eric patted on the hoe, watching her leave with her twins, and asked Helena Christensen with a smile: "Drew packed you up?" ”

When Shantou left, Helena Christensen immediately relaxed and heard Eric's problems. She remembered what happened at the metba11 charity ball at the beginning of the month, but shook her head: "No, we little women, can't dare to provoke morality. Lu."

"It seems to be cleaned up," Eric said with a smile, but did not ask much. He believes that Shantou still knows how to score. Of course, even if something is lost, it doesn't matter. Eyes swept around, Eric changed the subject and asked, "Walk?"

Helena Christensen nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, I am angry, I will be fine tomorrow."

Eric shook his head and said, "Don't worry, break up with him."

"What?" Helena Christensen subconsciously asked, and her expression turned a little wronged and resentful: "Eric, I think, this should be my private matter?"

Eric has always felt that it is very strange, how most of the fairies of the Wei Mi Legion will display this small resentful appearance in front of him. Is it a good discussion?

I feel that this idea is a bit exaggerated, maybe a pretty woman is like this.

Aside from this thought, Eric said: "Of course it is your private matter, this is just my personal advice. In addition, since today you are here, help me to pass out in the Angels."

Helena Christensen failed to keep up with Eric’s sudden turn and wondered: “Proverbs, what?”

"Oh, it is said that this way, all the models that will be with Leon will be kicked out of the Wei Mi Legion, even if it is the five spokespersons."

Helena Christensen's big, opal-like scorpion, said with a stuttering tone: "This, is this, rumor?"

Eric nodded: "Yes, if you don't believe, you can give it a try."

"But, this," Helena Christensen whispered twice, suddenly deflated, her expression once again restored the appearance of resentment, angry at the kitten like him, said: "Okay, okay, Ereli K, I will break up with him tomorrow, and, help you pass, um, rumors. But you should always tell me why?"

Eric said: "I am doing what I said, and women don't ask so much why."

"It's machismo," Helena Christensen said, and the body leaned over again, and his expression returned to a flattering look. "Eric, you don't want to make us all like churches." Is the saint guarding you like a jade? It is too much, you are not God."

Eric feels that the soft body of the girl is almost attached to herself, and she is unceremoniously reaching out, caressing her delicate face and saying: "You are wrong, I am your God, I never force others. Belief, but if you give up this faith, you will be degraded, no longer an angel."

"Oh, Eric, you are not God, you are the devil," Eric fingertips seem to have a current release, Helena Christensen feels a little soft, barely whispering, playing with the side of the head Opened a small mouth and slammed Eric's finger, revealing a small white tooth, and looked at it with threatening eyes.

Eric provoked a few times on the soft little tongue, and easily took back his fingers and patted the girl's waist. He said, "Go, go to the entertainment room with me, wait for the dance."

The filming of "Air Prison" was held on May 28th. On the second day, "Lion King 2" held a grand ceremony in the same theater.

Thus, in May, "Air Prison" and "Lion King 2" were officially screened in major theaters in North America.

As the major media in North America closely watched the two film showdowns, on the day of the film's release, many newspapers began to give evaluations of the two films.

However, this time, the situation seems to be very detrimental to fireflies.

According to preliminary statistics, the comprehensive evaluation scores of "Air Prison" in newspapers and the Internet are only the passing line of barely reaching 6 points. The "Leo King 2" of Paramount Ales, a Paramount animation for three years, really Did not disappoint many people, the initial shadow score is close to 9 points, it can be said that rave reviews. Moreover, the story of "Lion King 2" is focused on the story of Simba's adult story, which is obviously more suitable for the appetite of older viewers.

A long day passed, May night, although it was Friday, the Paramount headquarters in Hollywood still gathered a lot of company executives. Viacom’s chairman, Summer Reston, remained calm, but still Sitting next to him, Paramount eo Shirley Lansing and the other side of "Lion King 2" director Roger Ailes is obviously not so calm.

The people casually discussed some recent trivial matters, and the film has already been released. At this time, it is useless to entangle any things. What they can wait for is the final box office result of "Lion King 2". Although the Internet media and today's Evening News, the film review of "Lion King 2" is almost a one-sided praise, but because the previous marketing work is blocked by Firefly and Fox, Paramount's box office prospects for "Lion King 2" Still full of doubts.

Lei Shidong is 74 years old this year. Although his body is still very healthy, he rarely stays up late like today. His energy is inevitable. He will drink a cup of coffee in front of him and signal the secretary to pour himself coffee. I looked at the watch with my wrist, and the time was exactly 12 o'clock. It should be counted as June 1.

Although there is a general concept, Lei Shidong still couldn't help but ask Shirley Lansing next to him: "Shirley, when will the initial box office statistics come out?"

"The last screening of most theaters is around 11:00 in the middle of the night. At that time, some theaters have already started preliminary statistics at the box office. However, if you want to get the results, you must wait at least one o'clock in the morning." Shirley Lansing explained, "Our, Summer, go back to rest first, and I will call you when I come out."

"No, it doesn't matter, I don't have the oldest way to go," Lei Shidong stubbornly refused to shake his head, remembering the recent experience, and once again flashed an angry anger in his expression, to the assistant who was sitting not far away: "Jack, is there a reply from Larry Tish?"

"Mr. Lei Shidong, I called this afternoon, and said that Mr. Tish is currently in Europe and will come back in about a week."

"Hey, it’s not for the price," Lei Shidong muttered.

Larry Tish is the largest shareholder of the bs TV network. Over the years, bs has been in a very bad business situation, and Larry Tish has always had the idea of ​​selling the TV network.

In the past two years, Larry Tish also negotiated with QR controlled by Barry Diller. The transaction was almost negotiated, but Comcast, behind Barry Diller, was not optimistic about the deal, and cut off the deal. With the financial support of Barry Diller, this almost successful transaction was unexpectedly yellow.

Although in recent years, non-stop swallowing of companies such as Blockbuster, Paramount Pictures and Disney Hand-Drawing Animation Studios, many Viacom shareholders hope that Lei Shidong can suspend the pace of expansion, but this time "Lion King 2" was stimulated by the combination of Firefly and Fox in marketing. Lei Shidong finally made up his mind and made another acquisition to bs TV to make up for Viacom's shortcomings in media marketing channels.

However, due to the rise of new technology waves in recent years, and the television industry has also become more and more high, the initiative of this acquisition has faintly fell to the bs side. After Viacom said that the acquisition intention, Larry Tish, who had been eager to dispose of bs, took this time.

The night time always seems a bit long, and the time is moving slowly and minute by minute, as if it has been a long time, finally arrived at one o'clock in the morning.

The fax machine next to the meeting suddenly heard a loud noise. Everyone was shocked, and the expression looked forward and looked at it.

Brian Barkley, the president of the Paramount department, sat next to the fax machine. When he saw that the three people in Lei Shidong did not move, they got up and took out the data form that had just been faxed and looked at it on paper.

Not surprisingly, the box office of "Lion King 2" appeared in the first place on the list.

128 million US dollars.

When Brian Barkere saw this number, his mind began to count quickly.

According to the usual three-day box office trend on the weekend, the day will be 128 million, and the box office will rise once on Saturday and will fall again on Sunday. Taken together, according to the box office data of the day, the three-day box office of "Lion King 2" should be able to reach about 4ooo.

Before he could even think about it, Brian Barkley sent a light cough from Lei Shidong: "Hey, Brian, what's the result?"

Brian Barkley suddenly woke up and saw the people in the whole meeting look at themselves. They smiled and said: "Very good, $128 million a day. According to this trend, the weekend box office should be able to approach $4 million. ”

Brian Barkley said that the box office data was handed over to the three men of Lei Shidong.

Lei Shidong couldn't wait to see the fax paper, and Shirley Lansing and Roger Ayers on both sides also came together.

Now that the number reported by Brian Barrek has been heard, the three men’s eyes almost moved down together, looking for the daily box office figures for Air Prison, and at a glance they noticed the result, $770,000.

Shirley Lansing muttered: "The day is 77 million, and the weekend is up to 25oo dollars. We won."

Other company executives who were present could not see the data, but they obviously knew that the second set of numbers that Shirley Lansing said was the movie, and they all whispered in excitement with excitement.

Roger Ailes didn't care too much about the box office of "Air Prison". In fact, many people know that there are not many comparable films in the two films. Roger Ailes is more concerned about the box office comparison between "Lion King 2" and "Lion King".

The box office of 4ooo million on the weekend was expected to be reduced by 1ooo million dollars compared to the box office of 49,000 US dollars for the first three days of the weekend. This result is obviously very disappointing.

Lei Shidong listened to Shirley Lansing and whispered a bit according to the situation of the day, "Lion King 2" in the future of all possible box office trends, expression is very satisfied, noted Roger Ayers disappointed expression He reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Roger, don't do this, you have done a great job. Everyone knows that "Lion King 2" is back lower than the first box office, not you made it. The film is not good enough. If we can have enough resources, the box office of "Lion King 2" will definitely reach or even pass the first part."

"Yeah, Roger," Shirley Lansing said, "And, according to the reputation of "Lion King 2", it is impossible to achieve a reversal in the second week of the film. No one can stipulate that only fireflies can make A movie like "Titanic" comes out."

Shirley Lansing’s discourse, although many people immediately thought of Godzilla, which will be released next week, under the high-density marketing bombing of Sony Pictures, almost no one would doubt that Godzilla would become one. Partial box office 'Monsters'. But obviously, no one will say something disappointing at this time.

Looking at the box office of "Air Prison" for $770,000, many people feel that, at least, if the impact is affected next week, the audience will be more miserable than the "Godla" similar to Godzilla. (To be continued.) 8
