Chapter 358 356. Sweeping Film History

In the office, Eric carefully looked at the company's financial situation since the second quarter.

Overall, it has decreased by 37 percentage points compared to last year.

However, instead of falling, the stock price continued to rise, up 5.1 percentage points compared to the first quarter.

The reason is naturally because it gave up two months of time to other companies, which is not a big deal.

Once the third quarter financial report comes out, it will definitely take off completely.

Knock, knock, knock. Carol knocked on the door and walked in. She had a big ass and big boobs and was wearing a professional suit. She was dancing seductively and posing all the time.

It's a pity that Eric doesn't buy it. There are six people in the family and twelve mouths to feed.

There are so many people out there, no one can take care of you.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he has changed his mind. The key is to look at the object. People are more picky now.

It is not enough to have a good-looking appearance. You also need identity, status, fame, youthful feelings or interpersonal relationships to catch his eye. The latter is even more important than the former.

For example, if it was Julia Roberts, even though she had just given birth to two children, she didn't mind at all.

"Boss, good news." Carol said with a smile.

“The data is out?”

"Well, we broke the record again. The box office grossed $139 million in the first three days of the weekend, ranking first in North American film history."

Hearing this, Eric smiled and nodded.

"Boss, you don't look very excited. Big news!"

"Haha. I know this is good news, but I'm used to it. It's within my expectations."

"Ugh! Your calm reaction makes me look like a noisy child."

"This is called the determination of a big boss. When you are worth hundreds of billions, you will be like me."

Carol's mouth twitched and she thought to herself, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

If I had the ability to make hundreds of billions of dollars, I would still be twirling my ass next to you dressed like a turkey? Begging for your penetration? I'm speechless. My boss in the previous company wanted to eat me alive, but why is it useless here?

Shouldn't young people like cooked food? Damn it! Los Angeles Daily News: "Transformers 2 breaks the first-day box office record in film history, and the Jedi Knight is dethroned!"

San Francisco Times: "Transformers 2 breaks three-day box office record, surpassing Frozen to take the top spot."

Chicago Sun-Times: "Transformers 2 has exploded in box office and word of mouth, and MGM has finally welcomed its brightest star this year."

Yahoo Entertainment directly gave a popular science article about the ranking of three-day box office in film history.

When we talk about film history, it is actually more about North America, because it is impossible to count if we expand the scope to the whole world.

After all, even for several major Hollywood companies, their distribution networks are different, so it is impossible for all countries to release their films on the same day.

However, given the level of development of the entertainment industry in North America, especially the United States, it is no exaggeration to say that No. 1 in North America is also No. 1 in film history.

Currently, "Transformers 2" has a three-day box office revenue of 139 million US dollars in film history, ranking first.

The second place is "Frozen" with $121 million. If it hadn't been blocked last summer, the overall figure would have been higher.

The third place is "Transformers" with 119 million US dollars. Although so much time has passed, it is still very valuable.

The fourth place is "Spider-Man". I didn’t expect it, right? Although my box office dropped on the first day, I made a comeback in three days.

"Star Wars: Episode 3" was ranked fifth. Although its box office on the first day was explosive and ranked second among all movies and TV series, its performance after three days and one week lagged behind.

Then there are films like "Shrek 2: The Monsters". MGM occupies three of the top ten, and it monopolizes the top three.

The comments below were naturally explosive.

"Transformers 2 is the best movie I have seen this year. Every aspect of the movie is amazing. I am planning to watch it for the third time."

"I have to put Transformers 2 and Star Wars: Episode 3 on the same level. Both movies are excellent and there is no difference between them."

"This Transformers movie has shifted more towards the Autobots and Decepticons, and I like this shift, and that's what we want to see."

"Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds, plus Gal Gadot, they are not overshadowed by the Transformers. Everyone is growing, and these are the protagonists we need."

"I declare that I like the character of Arcee. I wonder if there are any manufacturers that produce special models of dolls."

"Although Eric Cooper is young, he is as steady as an old dog. He has not followed the old path of producing bad sequels. He is the youngest best screenwriter in history. He really deserves the title."

"The movie is great, but it's still too rushed at times. I hope MGM can make an animated version to tell the story better."

If you go and interview people in cinemas nowadays, you will find that most people go there for the same purpose.

Some fanatical fans have watched it multiple times. The first time they went to see it by themselves, the second time they brought their girlfriends, and the third time they went with like-minded people. They always find a reason.

Just like the carnival two years ago, Transformers has started a new round of global conquest.

After a few days, word of mouth gradually stabilized.

The freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 97%, and negative reviews are rare.

The imdb score once reached 8.5, but now it has dropped to 8.1.

But as long as it maintains its ratings and doesn’t fall below 8 points, it would be a miracle for commercial films.

You should know that many art films cannot even reach the level of 8 points.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gadot, Toni, Deadpool and a group of main creators have already started a global publicity tour. Eric is not involved as a screenwriter. He only needs to focus on the box office.

With strong publicity and excellent word of mouth, as a week passed, the first week box office that countless people were watching was finally released.

Sure enough, it continued to break records as expected.

With a box office performance of $218 million, it surpassed all competitors and defeated everyone who stood in its way, becoming the box office champion in film history for one week.

While the box office was exploding, the peripheral products were also selling like hot cakes.

The factories in China are working overtime to produce the products. Once completed, they are loaded onto trucks and ships and shipped all over the world for sale.

The most popular ones are the damaged version of Megatron and the female Transformer Arcee.

Surprisingly, Black Widow, a character who rarely appears, also sold very well, and her eight-legged spider transformation was favored by fans.

But the Jazz did not come back to life because of Eric's joke.

Without showing up in person to prove their face, how can there be any sales?

No doubt about it, it's a dead ball! In the apartment on the boulevard.

A few days ago, Liu's mother and daughter came back from vacation and invited Eric to dinner.

"Here! I bought you these shoes. Try them on."

Eric took a look and asked: "Are the soles too thick?"

"Ah? You don't like it?"

He smacked Xiao Liu on the face and said, "No, I'll wear it to the company tomorrow. How can I not like something you bought for me?"

"That's more like it."

Hiss!

Next to her, Liu Xiaoli made strange noises from time to time.

"What's wrong with you? You keep making faces."

Seeing that his daughter didn't move, Lao Liu had to do it himself.

She quickly took out various things from the room: "Eric, these are also gifts that Sissi bought."

Eric couldn't help but frowned: "It looks like they are all for women. Did you buy them for my mother?"

"Yes, there are also some for your family members. If we live under the same roof in the future, they will be a gift for meeting each other."

"Uh you guys?"
