Chapter 216
"If we can establish a good relationship with the top leaders of Monaco before the French orders are on the road, and bring some private goods there? Don't blatantly just think that Monacos are greedy for small profits, so they buy more copycats.
At that time, we will go to the Port of San Antonio in Argentina first to do so, and don’t rush to declare and unload the goods. Then let the Argentines discover and seize a batch. As for the rest, whether we should try our best to hide for the interests of the British to prevent them from being searched by the Argentines... it depends on what the British price is.
So, we need a member of the Monaco royal family who is more reckless for profit, and I don’t know the severity of the matter. So far, I have been slandering them and pretending to cultivate friendship. How could I really fall in love with Princess Tiffany?"
Ye Wan was shocked, forced to resist the urge to shout, and lowered her voice and asked: "What if she can't extricate herself from you? A girl of fifteen or sixteen is easy to be...you are playing with her feelings! Of course, I know you are for the country, I am not stopping you from making contributions, I am afraid that you will not end well in the future!"
"Of course I have a way to end the game. If I really get on the verge of the arrow and I will be a good show, and I will not suffer any loss as a man. In the future, there will always be a way to make Tiffany get tired of me. If she gives up, she will dump me, not me will dump her.
Monacos are essentially French or Italian. Which one of them is not allowed to experience a bunch of men before marriage? Don’t use the inertia of our Chinese thinking to get married.”
Gu Ao coldly revealed the essence of the problem and was immune to Ye Wan's questioning.
After Ye Wan took two deep breaths in surprise, her inner rationality had to admit that what he said made sense.
It's just a bit emotionally unacceptable.
"Scumbag! It's obviously... it's obviously unprincipled, but as a sweet word makes such a lot of excuses!" She sobbed and glared.
Gu Ao was also a little impatient when he was so entangled by the other party, and said with a quick knife: "I never despise my friends by lying to use sweet words - you should know that I really treat you as a good friend, so I will not use any means to treat you in order to achieve my career goals.
And I didn't treat Tiffany as a friend, so I used this trick to her. Maybe you think it's a bit cold-blooded to apply the banner of nationalism on the issue of men and women, and treat it differently, but I, Gu Ao, are such people."
His implication is already very obvious: Ye Wan wants to figure it out, your brother cheats Tiffany's sex instead of lying to you because he really treats you as a friend!
Therefore, he can be mentally prepared for a princess to be fun and not marry, but not prepared for a granddaughter of just a general to be fun and not marry.
"Haha, so I should thank you for not cheating?" Ye Wan felt incredible and almost burst into tears. (This passage proved that I was actually a broken-out dog yesterday. The noble authentic user could send a barrage to scold me at this time.)
Why is this world so ridiculous?!
A noble status, aloof, intellectual, and being kept away from others, sometimes it becomes a disadvantage? What about the right gender equality? What about the right strong women?
Ye Wan held back her anger.
Gu Ao is so despicable.
No words all night.
...
After dealing with Ye Wan's twisted heart, Gu Ao finally came to Los Angeles as scheduled the next day and was about to witness the box office performance of "Terminator" with his own eyes.
He only brought Princess Tiffany and Li Lianjie, the bodyguard who proved his integrity.
Princess Kelly did not send bodyguards to protect her in name, but in fact, someone kept secretly following her guard. She deceived a girl like Tiffany.
Gu Ao's secret social expert has long seen through it at first sight, but he just doesn't say it out loud.
Because the signature is not strong enough and the director is a prospective newcomer, of course, this kind of movie will not hold a premiere, but will be directly released and can be watched at any cinema as soon as possible.
Gu Ao originally wanted to go to a big-name venue, but was stopped by Tiffany.
Although this little devil is not good at studying, she suggests:
"Let's just find a few small theaters on Sunset Avenue, and wait until the movie starts before buying tickets and entering the venue at a surprise. In this way, my mother can't react even if she wants to buy tickets.
Let's take a few photos in the theater, count the number of people, and compare them with the box office details that were counted the next day. Wouldn't you know if it's true?"
"It sounds good, so let's do what you said." Gu Ao was too lazy to think about such trivial matters, so he let Tiffany arrange it.
So the few people were like thieves who chose the venue that had just been put in for a short time and bought tickets. Even when Tiffany was in a thief, she still did not forget to buy two buckets of popcorn and a freshly squeezed cup of Newcastle Orange.
Gu Ao clearly noticed that after they entered the venue, two other black suits also bought tickets and followed in - this was obviously a bodyguard sent by Princess Kelly.
"I didn't expect the attendance rate on the first day was OK. There should be half of the seats here. There will probably be more events a little later. It seems that the publicity is very good." Tiffany was quite happy inside, and her inner sense of accomplishment was quite satisfied.
In the United States, it is normal for cinemas to maintain an average attendance rate of 30% for a long time. Unlike China during the same period, it is almost full. That is because China is still planning the economy, there are few cinemas, and the ticket prices are relatively low due to administrative benefits. People lack other entertainment, so they can sell out anything. Even in 1981, scalpers have already lost their tickets.
Any entertainment industry market that has relaxed competition will almost gradually develop to an average attendance rate of 25% to 30%. If it is higher, fresh blood will flow in. If it is lower, small profit practitioners will gradually lose blood and withdraw.
Of course, this 30% is the global average data for all periods. Double the price during the evening prime time or weekend, otherwise there will be problems with the theater's positioning and film selection.
In addition to the number of people, the emotions of the audience are also very telling. Tiffany secretly observed and found that everyone had a strong sense of substitution, and there was very little garbage time that made people feel bored.
When Tiffany participated in the filming herself, she felt that the plot was quite satisfactory and she had no confidence at one time. But at this moment, she couldn't help but feel quite exciting when she saw the finished product that Cameron finally edited.
I can only say that Cameron is really an editing genius and is talented in mastering the rhythm of commercial films. Perhaps it is the condensed ratio of "shooting half an hour of film and cutting a minute" that can compose such a plot rhythm.
"Ah, I'm so scared, let's go, dad."
"Dad, can robots really come back and kill us from the future?"
"This big man can't beat him to death no matter how hard he beat him? He's good! Beautiful round-rotation kick! But why can't he beat him to death?"
"Is this kind of kung fu called 'Tai Chi'? Is that big man swinging his head onto the iron frame of the corners, and his sunglasses pierced into his eye sockets, and it's okay?"
"Ah! It dug out the eyeballs!"
As the plot progresses and the oppressive feeling of bgm, when Arnold's body is finally burned in the explosion of the tanker truck, revealing the special effect to continue to chase and kill.
Countless elementary school students chose to face the screen, face the back of the chair, and kneel on the chair, trembling.
It was not until Li Lianjie threw a bomb in a fancy way and died in battle that half of the robot was led to the automatic assembly line composed of industrial robots by Tiffany, and was finally crushed to death by a "surprise mother facker". The trembling primary school students recovered.
"It's so exciting. That coward Bill must not dare to watch."
"Well, Harry's kind of novice must not understand such profound hard science fiction. Time travel is so cool, it's still a future robot hunt."
In just one movie, the contempt chain of appreciation ability and hard science fiction brain acceptance was formed - although from the perspective of later generations, "Terminator" itself has a low status in the hardcore contempt chain.
But in fact, just as many people who look at Xiaobaiwen can also criticize others for "What are you reading Xiaobaiwen", few people will really feel that they are reading Xiaobaiwen. So it is easy to bring up the shadow of the rhythm master who is a little bit contemptuous.
"You should be relieved now, right? It seems that the market response is very successful. You may become an 'anti-cyberpunk humanistic care artist' in the future.'" Gu Ao took advantage of the lights in the cinema and joked with Tiffany in this way.
"I hope I'll take two more photos." Tiffany looked excited, but she wanted to pretend to be modest like a child, so she pretended to change the subject.
Gu Ao advised: "Don't do this, go quickly, it's not good to be recognized as the heroine and the second male lead."
Then he dragged the person away.
"Let's watch two more games tonight? Change two places. One for the prime time and midnight time." He was dragged outside and had a simple supper, Tiffany was still immersed in the excitement.
This mentality is a bit like a floppy writer who just signed the first book. On the first day of the release, he couldn't help but click on the author's backend every 20 minutes to see if the number of subscriptions has increased. It's exciting.
So when Gu Ao asked her, "Aren't you tired?", he was destined to get an answer that was "not tired".
"Okay, I'll be crazy with you tonight. But I warn you: this time, you are not allowed to wait until you finish all the viewings and the lights are on before leaving. We are going to leave early, and I don't want you to be recognized. Only if you agree to this will I accompany you."
"That's all I can hear about. I want to wait until the lights are on and take a picture of how many people are sitting in the cinema. Go back and check whether the box office data is fake." Tiffany pouted unwillingly, but was convinced by Gu Ao.
The two of them went to two more venues until midnight. Every time Tiffany reluctantly left the show without watching the ending. Gu Ao had already chosen to sleep in the cinema.
The final game ended almost 1 a.m. When Gu Ao rubbed his eyes and was about to leave, he was stopped by the theater security staff.
"Miss, please hand over the camera! Or at least take out the film and expose it to us! You are suspected of pirated screen photography or spoilers. We have repeatedly told the theater not to carry cameras or take pictures."
Chapter completed!
