[US Entertainment] Crossover superstar

The next afternoon, Elena had just picked up Jeffrey from Edward Primary School.

Not long after, Ryan rushed over excitedly, seizing the time.

Ryan was holding a briefcase in one hand and a newspaper in the other. He was sweating profusely and looked a bit embarrassed, but he had an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Hey! Ryan, you're here, come in quickly, Jeff is in the living room." Elena opened the door for Ryan and invited him in.

And when Jeffrey heard the sound of Elena opening the door, he knew that Ryan was coming.He looked at Ryan wiping sweat, panting heavily, and looking very embarrassed, a trace of unbearable flashed in his blue eyes.

Because, since they signed the contract, Ryan has been running between UTA, Disney, and Elena's teacher's apartment, replacing or accompanying Jeffrey to handle some big and small affairs.

From Monday to Friday every week, Ryan came over to talk to Jeffrey about some things after Jeffrey got out of school;

And sometimes on weekends, I stay at the apartment all day.

Originally, Jeffrey also wanted Ryan to live in the apartment, but the apartment was too small and there were not enough rooms...

"Ryan, what's the matter with the company?" Jeffrey saw Ryan rushing over sweating profusely, thinking that he was in a hurry.

"No, the company is fine!" Ryan drank several glasses of water, took the towel handed by Elena to wipe off his sweat, and sat beside Jeffrey.

"I'm here to tell you about what happened at the movie premiere yesterday!" Ryan said after recovering.

After he finished speaking, he handed over a dozen newspapers to Jeffrey.

However, Jeffrey couldn't help laughing when he saw Ryan holding a newspaper, grinning and looking at him with bright eyes.

Because at the end of the [-]th century, apart from mobile phones and brick-like computers, the most convenient way for people to obtain information is to read various types of newspapers and periodicals.

Therefore, as a qualified agent, Ryan Harrison became like a newspaper delivery person, sending Jeffrey the latest and most comprehensive entertainment news every day, and analyzing entertainment news with Jeffrey. Current situation of the circle.

"Here are some of the most important newspapers that published reviews of yesterday's movie premiere, take a look!"

Ryan picked out a few more professional and well-known news newspapers with film review columns among more than a dozen newspapers and placed them in front of Jeffrey for him to watch.

"Variety, Premiere, New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Entertainment News, Washington Post, Hollywood Film and Television?"

Jeffrey muttered to himself. After picking up the newspapers, he quickly found the film review section about the movie "Home Alone 3".

Most of the reviews in these newspapers, whether for the movie or Jeffrey Craig, are very pertinent, and most of the ratings are three or four stars.

But when Jeffrey was watching it happily, he read the film reviews in "Entertainment News", and then his mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.

Because "Entertainment News" gave the lowest two stars, its reason is: "Home Alone 3" has no originality in the movie story setting, and the movie's jokes are also copied from second-rate ideas...

"Jeff, don't think about it too much! "Entertainment News" is not as professional as "Premiere", "Variety" and "Chicago Sun-Times", and they all give good reviews, and the film's Rotten Tomatoes is also very fresh, reaching 85%, you can rest assured!"

Seeing that Jeffrey's face was a bit uncomfortable, Ryan took the newspaper in Jeffrey's hand and browsed it himself.

"I'm fine, in fact, it's nothing, and..." And "Entertainment News" was right, and Jeffrey knew it in his heart.

After all, the movie "Home Alone 3" is a continuation of the series, but it's not as bad as it says, and the movie still has a lot of new ideas and laughs.

Tired of reading, Jeffrey pushed all the newspapers away.

Now, he doesn't want to read these comments any more, what he cares most about at the moment is the box office results after the movie is released tomorrow!

…………

…………

On December NO.12, under the connection and operation of 3th Century Fox Film Company, the movie "Home Alone 1500" was officially released in more than [-] theaters across the United States.

And like people queuing up to buy tickets to watch a movie, at this moment, the director of the movie, Raja Gosnell, is also anxiously waiting.

Throughout the day, Raja Gosnell spent nervously and anxiously waiting.

Because although he has edited many film works before, "Home Alone 3" is the first film he directed himself, so he can't help but worry.

From around three o'clock in the afternoon on this day, Raja Gosnell called the [-]th Century Fox Film Company every short period of time and asked the company staff about the statistics of the movie box office. He wanted to Know how the movie's box office did on the first day.

Finally, at 23:3 on the evening of the [-]th, the movie "Home Alone [-]" has finished playing all day in the United States.

At 23:[-] in the evening, after the staff of the [-]th Century Fox Film Company collected the box office data of theaters across the United States, Raja Gosnell got the statistics of the movie's first-day box office.

…………

On the night of December [-]th, in Elena's apartment.

Elena Thomas, who had just taken a shower and was about to sleep, received a call from Raja Gosnell.

"Hello, Director Gosnell, good evening!"

"What...? Is this true? Hehe...hehe... Then this is really great! Congratulations!"

"Yeah! Okay, I'm going to tell him the good news!"

After hanging up the phone, Elena walked to Jeffrey's door.

"Jeff, Jeff! Darling, are you asleep...?"

Elena knocked lightly on Jeffrey's door and asked in a low voice.

Hearing Elena's cry, Jeffrey got out of bed wrapped in a quilt and opened the door.

"Mom, what happened...?"

Jeffrey rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling a little confused. At this time, he was still half asleep and half awake.

"Honey, director Raja Gosnell called just now, and he wanted me to tell you some good news: today's "Home Alone 3" had a box office of 1150 million on its first day!" Elena squatted down, her hands slightly He put his arms around Jeffrey and looked at him.

Jeffrey, who was still a little dizzy at first, woke up completely after hearing what Elena said.

"What? Mom, are you serious? Omg, 1150 million?"

Jeffrey opened his crystal blue eyes wide, feeling a little disbelieving in his heart.

Because, in Jeffrey's view, it is not easy to have this data at the box office on the first day.

After all, when "Home Alone 3" was released in the United States, it can be said that "there were wolves before and tigers after"!

Previously, there were the famous sci-fi thriller film "Alien 4" produced and distributed by [-]th Century Fox Film Company, "Good Will Hunting" produced and distributed by Miramax Film Company, and "One Night Fengliu" starring Robert Downey Jr. And the epic masterpiece "Broken Lock and Rage" directed by the famous director Steven Spielberg, most of these films have not been released for a long time, and the residual heat is still lingering, and they are raging at the box office.

Later, there was "Deconstructing Love Maniac" directed by the famous screenwriter, director, actor... Woody Allen, and starring Woody Allen and Tobey Maguire; "Scream 2", a collaboration between the company and Miramax Films, both of which were released on the same day as "Home Alone 3", competed for the box office together.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to achieve 1150 million box office results on the first day of release!

…………

…………

A week after the film was released, the box office of "Home Alone 3" reached more than 5500 million.That week's U.S. box office ranked third, second only to the 6500 million of "Broken Lock" and the 5700 million of "Deconstruction of Love".

However, being able to have such a box office result has already satisfied the 3000th Century Fox Film Company, because the total production cost of this film is less than [-] million.

And the salary of Jeffrey Craig, who is the protagonist of this movie, is only 200 million. This can definitely be regarded as a low-cost and high-yield movie.

Moreover, if this trend continues, the box office of the movie "Home Alone 3" will definitely exceed [-] million.

But in the second week after the movie was released, the box office of "Home Alone 3" gradually dropped.Especially starting from NO.17 in December, the movie box office has dropped faster.

Because in this week, there are also two comedy movies released, namely "Mouse Catch" produced and distributed by DreamWorks and "Wag the Dog" by New Line Films.

But what is even worse is that on the second day of the second week after the release of the movie "Home Alone 19" on December NO. , the century masterpiece "Titanic" directed by the world famous director James Cameron, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Under the severe impact of these films, the box office performance of "Home Alone 3" dropped rapidly.

However, fortunately, as Christmas approaches, the movie box office of "Home Alone 3" has improved again.After all, it's a great family comedy movie for the whole family to watch together.
