Chapter 544: 543, the movie box office is going to explode

What a big deal!

The incident was so serious and terrifying that almost all media around the world focused their attention on the United States at the first moment.

Although she is not an American and does not care about Zhengzhi, Zhang Momo, who is studying in New York, still logged into the Yahoo website as soon as possible.

She wanted to browse the news, follow the latest developments of the incident, and take a look at netizens' first-hand reactions to the incident.

"Who did it?"

"We want revenge!"

"We must unite and take revenge. No one in this world dares to treat Americans like this."

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!!"

The comment section below the real-time news on Yahoo's website is no longer updated one comment at a time. As long as you refresh the page, dozens or even hundreds of comments will be updated in an instant.

This made Zhang Momo a little overwhelmed.

She browsed for a long time, until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when she remembered that she had not had lunch yet.

Since Columbia University is located in Manhattan, New York, Zhang Momo did not dare to go out to a Chinese restaurant for dinner as usual. Instead, she chose to cook her own food in her apartment, well, actually just instant noodles.

Of course, while making instant noodles, she did not forget to send a text message to her father in China to report that she was safe. The reason she did not call was because it was 2 pm New York time, which was already early morning in China.

Once the text message is sent, the instant noodles will be cooked.

When Zhang Momin came to the desk with the bowl in her hand, she accidentally moved the mouse and saw that someone had posted a long post in the comment section of Yahoo News.

Do you believe in fate?
Here's the thing.

I am an employee of a company working on the 1th floor of Building 25, World Trade Center. Normally, I would arrive at my workstation at 8:00, clock in, and then go to the breakfast area to have a free breakfast.

After breakfast, at 8:30, I will sit at my workstation and start the morning's work, calling customers to inquire about the progress of our company's project department's work with them.

But today, an accident happened on my way to work.

Jessica Alba, the leading actress of the movie "Seeing Ghost", was doing a roadshow downstairs and had an argument with the security guard. In an instant, it attracted a lot of onlookers, who blocked the south gate of Building 1 tightly.

There is no way. There is no way I can arrive at my workstation on time.

But just when I was worried, a scene that shocked the world happened...

Well, if, I mean if, there hadn’t been a roadshow for the crew of the movie “Seeing Ghosts”, I would have really gone to see ghosts by now!

Not only me, but also two or three hundred people were blocked outside. 】

what…

Seeing this post, Zhang Momo opened her mouth in surprise.

She knew that Jessica Alba was doing a roadshow for the "Seeing Ghost" crew. The day before yesterday, Zhang Momo had seen it with her own eyes when passing by the World Trade Center.

But unexpectedly, Jessica Alba's actions actually saved the lives of two or three hundred people.

But at this moment, someone posted a reply under this post.

I believe in fate.

My name is John Cruise, and I work on the 1th floor of Building 37 of the World Trade Center. I arrived at the bottom of Building 7 at 31:1 today. [Note: At that time, Hollywood actress Jessica Alba had not yet had an argument with the security guard.]

Originally, I wanted to go upstairs quickly because I hadn't finished a job yesterday.

But at this moment, I met Hollywood actress Jessica Alba standing at the south gate of Building 1 and telling everyone stories.

I don't remember the details of the story, but the gist of it is this:
The character played by Jessica Alba in the movie "Seeing Ghost" has super powers. When Jessica Alba saw souls constantly floating out of the building, she rushed into the building and told everyone to get out because it was dangerous...

Before Jessica Alba's story was even finished, I shuddered. It was too real. I had a feeling that something would happen in 1 World Trade Center today, and the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.

So, I gritted my teeth, and my girlfriend and I got two free movie tickets and $60 in change from Jessica Alba, and went to the cinema to watch a movie.

But when we came out and saw the news on the TV in the mall, we were floored.

It turns out that Jessica Alba really has super powers, and "Seeing Ghost" is really a magical movie. 】

When Zhang Momo saw the second post, she was shocked.

Because of her father, she had seen the movie "Seeing the Ghost" before it was released. There was a part in the plot where the original owner of the donated cornea foresaw that a building would catch fire and many people would die.

So she ran into the building and shouted desperately, asking everyone inside to leave quickly, but the kind-hearted girl was treated as a psychopath.

Not only was she scolded, she was also told to get out.

She was also beaten by the security guards, who dragged her out of the building.

Isn't this plot completely reproduced in reality? !

Of course, reality is better than the plot in the movie. At least Jessica Alba saved two or three hundred people. Oh, no, it should be four or five hundred people, because many people who got her movie tickets skipped work to watch the movie.

Just as Zhang Momo thought of this, she saw the homepage of Yahoo News and a formal news report.

[The movie "Seeing Ghosts" saves people, and the story reflects reality
On September 9, "Seeing Ghost", the second film shot by Chinese film director Jiang Feng in Hollywood, was officially released across the United States. The film's producer, Lionsgate, was creative in its promotion.

The film's leading actors and Lionsgate staff went to major iconic buildings across the United States to distribute free movie tickets to passers-by.

Among them, the places where free movie tickets were distributed included the Pentagon and One World Trade Center…】

September 2001, 9, 13:6 AM

Jiang Feng just got up and turned on his cell phone.

I saw many text messages and missed calls on my phone, most of which were sent or called from the United States.

[Jiang, do you know how excited I am? Now the whole United States is reporting how amazing the movie "Seeing a Ghost" is? It actually saved 583 lives at a critical moment.]

[Jiang, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the screening rate of "Seeing the Ghost", which was only 21% and the attendance rate was only 37% yesterday, has reached 60% after the incident that shocked the world, and the attendance rate has directly reached 75%. ]

[Jiang, according to the above two data, the box office of "Seeing the Ghost" is likely to exceed 9 million US dollars on September 11 alone.]

Originally, he thought it was something fresh and different, but when Jiang Feng saw the content of the text message from Lionsgate CEO Jon Felton, he closed his phone.

It’s all calculated, and it doesn’t seem like a big deal.

Well, it was just a small surprise at most. Jessica Alba actually had an argument with the security guards of the World Trade Center Building 1. Of course, the result of this argument was not bad. At least, the reality was closer to the story of the movie "Seeing the Hell".

As for why he is not ecstatic or happy now, it is because Jiang Feng is very practical. If he wants to be happy, the movie "Seeing Ghost" must actually achieve box office success, instead of just an estimate like now.

Jiang Feng closed his phone, put it in his pocket, went out and ran along Repulse Bay Road.

In the wealthy area of ​​Hong Kong Island, not many people come out for morning exercises. Today, Jiang Feng ran about 3 kilometers but didn't meet many people.

Well, it’s understandable if you think about it. After all, the morning for Hong Kong Islanders starts at 9:00 am.

However, just as Jiang Feng was thinking this, he saw a woman in a fiery red dress standing at the door of Villa No. 16, Repulse Bay Road.

When the woman saw him, she smiled brightly.
