Chapter ninety-ninth, my heart is big, I do not accept interviews

Even though Alice was prepared for a huge box office of 215 million, she was still frightened by this huge sum of money. After all, even in 2009, the box office of this movie was only 190 million. Although the US stock market during the subprime mortgage crisis may not have been as developed as the 1990s, it still made her ecstatic that she could still achieve such achievements after twenty years.

Even Alice thought so, so for the entire industry, the achievements of this movie were even more like Halley's Comet, and it was something that had never been encountered for many years.

The Hollywood Reporter is one of the top magazines in the entertainment industry in the United States. Every year, editors have to use various authoritative channels to evaluate the status, influence, titles, and of course all sensational news. It can be said that everyone here is extremely proud of their work, and the strong centripetal force is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But because of this, Domini O'Brien is currently angry.

Alice Wang, as a new director hired by a fledgling film company, can earn a box office of $200 million. According to the survey, the shooting cost is only more than $10,000. Looking at the development history of Hollywood and even the history of global film development, this is an absolutely unheard of achievement. It is understandable that no matter which company or the director, it should be so lucky and glorious.

However, reality is often the difference between it and imagination. After Domini called DreamWorks, the other party actually said that the director refused to interview!

When he heard this reply, Domini's first thought was that something had happened to her ears. After realizing that her hearing was still good, she immediately thought that the other party must have said the wrong thing. After all, for a new director, it is a very honorable thing to be interviewed by a top magazine in the industry like the Hollywood Reporter!

Besides, Domini also knew very well that the director was not just a newcomer, but even a seventh-grade middle school student! And her crew members were just members of the UCLA university film club!

It was this middle school student who also wrote a novel, one that ranked on the New York Times' most anticipated new book list of the year before it was published, and now it is the best-selling book on the best-selling list. That charming science fiction novel, "Jurassic Park"...

Any adult knows how many halos and precious these kinds of halos are very clear. As an industry insider, Domini knows how many media magazines have tracked and reported the box office of "The Legend of Ghosts" over the past few months. It can be said that her phone call has no intention of showing off at all, and she is definitely sincerely hoping to interview the mysterious little girl.

But now he actually received a reply saying that the other party was unwilling to accept an interview?

"Domini, you can just hang it a few more times. After all, the other party is just a child, and she may just feel it's troublesome."

Despite the comfort of colleagues, Domini still had resentment on her face: "Just a child? Just a child can make that miraculous movie? Just a child can write a science fiction novel of that level? Feeling trouble? Why don't she think filming is troublesome? Is this a reason? She just didn't take us seriously at all!"

Seeing Domini drinking Coke's expression fiercely and sitting at her next table, Leibs sighed: "What do you want to do? Give up? The meaning of this interview is too great. Don't forget that she is the director and screenwriter of this movie. Although she doesn't know what kind of treaty she signed with DreamWorks, there is no doubt that the millionaire is. Thirteen-year-old millionaire, you won't want to put such a big news to other media, right?"

Domini sighed deeply. She didn't know this truth. A thirteen-year-old millionaire, even if it's only ten million...that's a full ten times the amount of one million! Not to mention their "Hollywood Report", many magazines and media want to interview that girl, and their financial peers, their age and income can be used as titles, and there are too many angles to report.

"So, the child has actually been interviewed by other media? So he thinks it's troublesome? Damn, who took the lead in us?"

Domini was complaining, and she also knew that this complaint had actually spread to the entire industry in Los Angeles. In the past five months, many media newspapers called DreamWorks, but learned that Miss Alice was no longer in the United States...

Oh my god, the earth, how many reporters and editors sighed to the sky. This is the first movie of your life, a little kid. Then it is such a "self-made movie" with a shooting cost of only more than 10,000 yuan. It relies on some news to attract the interest of audiences across the country, and let theaters be screened nationwide together. Then the box office quota on the first day reached tens of millions...

The unquestionable multi-millionaire lady, at this moment when her pocket money is soaring, did not keep a close eye on how much wealth she would get, and did not try to make a name for herself in major media. She actually, actually...

Have you actually gone abroad to play?

What a heart this is...

If you can't get in touch, you can't get in touch. The more you've got the most of the "Ghost Record" is, the more the reporters want to interview this magical girl. Since December, people have been peeping at the door of DreamWorks every day. Everyone's ideas are simple and normal. Even if Alice-Wang has not attended any premiere, can she not go to the company to report? Even if she goes abroad to play, can she still go to the first half of the year?

As a result, it was really half a year...

From the release in November to the release in March, she has never appeared in the long period of five months. Even after the students of the UCLA film club disclosed her information, Johnson High School in Culver City was missing, although it happened to be the winter vacation at that time.

"Slow down...slow down!"

So, after being angry for a long time, Dofanie then started screaming as if she had come back to her senses, and then under the surprised gaze of her colleagues around her, she slapped Leibs on the shoulder.

"Why didn't I get around this bend??"

"Oh! Dofanie, no matter what the bend it is, be gentle!"

"For so long, DreamWorks' official reply said that Alice was not here, but this time he said... she didn't want it! Leibs, she didn't want it... Doesn't this mean that Alice has returned to China and is in DreamWorks!?"

Leibs rubbed his shoulder and said, "So you plan to squat at the door of someone else's company? I don't think it will work. Other newspaper reporters have been squatting for half a year. Yorker from "US Weekly" even suffered from varicose veins and was planning to sue DreamWorks, although I guess he was just taking the opportunity to become famous..."

But Dofanie ignored her deskmate’s complaints, and was already rushing to pack up the table, and shouted to an office desk not far away: "Apply for me a field trip, take a photographer, hurry up!"

In this way, after a call that was obviously rejected was dropped, the gold medal reporter of the Hollywood Reporter, Dofanie Field, led a photographer and drove directly to the Sunset Avenue in an interview car. However, at this time, it was just the time when the sun set. No matter how she raced against time, she would not have any chance to catch Alice.

"Ah~ Actually, we can definitely take a small plane over there."

The red Cadillac was driving on the way to San Diego. James and Sophie sat side by side in front, and the back seat was filled with three of his children. Taking leave at the beginning of school was actually a very bad behavior, but whoever asked the three of them to have the top academic performance, so that Oscars had the opportunity to complain.

"Flying to San Diego?"

Alice looked at her brother with an idiot's eyes: "Say it again, I promise not to beat you to death."

Oscar twisted his body with annoyance because he wanted to make room for Hannah beside him: "The problem is, this is more than a hundred miles. It's so uncomfortable for three people to squeeze in the back seat! I said Vivi, are you sure you haven't gained weight recently?"

"You've just gained weight! Your whole family has gained weight!"

Hannah & Sophie: "Ahhhh!?"

Looking at Hannah's big eyes and Sophie's gaze from the rearview mirror, Alice groaned and pushed Oscar with her elbow.

It was clearly time to have supper, but suddenly headed towards the southern border of California. Of course, there was a reason for this.

Alice has almost used the box office revenue of the movie in the past five months to expand the mainland clothing market. With its hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, it is naturally invincible to the market situation at this time, and it opens branches all over the southeast coast like a prairie fire. Therefore, as Alice muttered earlier, the Clothing Research Center should be established, and Ashley is far from qualified after all.

Therefore, it is very necessary to visit Paris and Milan, and it is immediately.

The problem is...

"If you want to blame, blame God, or Dragon Prince. Look at this sky, can you fly without changing the city??"

Alice looked at the sky fiercely, and it took only ten minutes before and after. The dark clouds that were in full swing the entire Los Angeles, and the heavy rain washed away the entire earth. Everyone was actually moving forward in the heavy rain.

"Including that stinky girl Ashley, why do you have to go back to Milan in advance? It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown. Why do you have to prepare a family dinner for us one day in advance! This pizza and that noodles are the ones, which makes me embarrassed to refuse, and I have to change the airport to cooperate with her!"

In the front row, James was driving, giggling and whispering: "Actually, he is just greedy. Why do you find so many excuses?"

"Hey, dad!?"

"Haha~ I'm doing a pretty old guy, that's what she should say!"

"Oscar, you really want to die, right..."

"Sister, I'll help you scratch him!"

In this way, a farce unfolded on Highway 1 at dusk, with heavy rain. While everyone in the car was laughing, they were also looking forward to San Diego not being affected again.

As for Los Angeles, especially in the south of Sunset Avenue, in front of the DreamWorks headquarters building...

"Dofanie, are you sure you want to keep waiting?"

In the interview car, the photographer sent to cooperate was sweating because a newspaper reporter in a co-pilot was holding a professional infrared night vision telescope, staring at the entrance and exit of DreamWorks without blinking.

"Of course I want it! Also, buy me a burger, add two sour cucumbers!"

"Oh... OK..."
