74: Movie Going to the Countryside [Three in One](1/2)
On April 1, 1994, "Forrest Gump" won $21 million in its first week of box office.
But the Hollywood box office is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the next second!
Although "Forrest Gump" not only defeated the famous "Shawshank Redemption" in the next few days, it was broken by the sudden rise of "The Lion King" and the fantasy of a two-week box office champion.
This movie, which was highly anticipated by "Disney", was once called "the greatest classic of the Disney Revival era" by the media.
In the end, "The Lion King" won a box office of $410 million in North America with a production cost of $45 million, and narrowly beat "Forrest Gump" with a box office of $320 million!
But these have nothing to do with Herman, because Herman is interested in the box office in South America.
Because Herman remembers it deeply, the South American box office market was really developed when Paramount, the distribution company of Titanic, signed a distribution agreement with a small film distribution company in South America in 1996.
The Titanic, which helped the production cost reach nearly US$300 million, won 156 million in Latin America.
Since then, the ticket market in South America has truly entered the vision of major Hollywood giants.
What Herman is going to do now is to be the first person to eat crabs, and he is also the person to "eat crabs at low cost"!
As for building a cinema, go hell!
On a clearing in Xiaojin Town, Lindsay, Orlov, Sevey, and Humphrey were all ready to go under the command of the old man Randall.
Although the convoy behind everyone looks uneven, good, bad, old, new, and all kinds of cars.
But these cars have one feature, that is, their co-pilot or trunk is equipped with a projector and a film sealed with a leather safe.
When Randall saw that "Xiaojin Town" had been filled with a convoy organized by himself today, he stood proudly on the temporary "material collection place" stage and patted his stomach that had just been full with satisfaction, and muttered: "This Chinese chef's Kung Pao Chicken Ding is really good!"
Just as Randall was about to pick up the microphone and slam it.
But Hermann came out of nowhere, snatched the microphone and shouted at everyone below: "Brothers! Let's go! Wait for the good news of your victory and triumphant success!"
After seeing this, the three Brownies did not speak, but quickly got into the car and drove the car engine, and turned the front of the car and headed towards the straight road in Xiaojin Town.
After seeing this, Humphrey kept making noises and making noises at Randall, who looked embarrassed on the stage.
When he saw Randall was about to rush off the stage to beat him up, he also quickly jumped into the car, started the car quickly, and drove away from Xiaojin Town with a roar!
Randall turned around and was about to say something to Herman, but saw Herman stepping on the outside, turning his hands behind his back, and swaying away from the stage.
Randall was about to curse, but seemed to think of something, pointed to Herman's back as he left and said, "You kid, you're not losing at all!"
After finishing his day of work, Marcin Benini, who was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was about to go downstairs to treat himself to a big meal, but found that a huge wooden shed was temporarily built on a food court that he had to pass by to work every day.
When Marcin Benini was about to go up to see what this "wooden shed" was, he heard a fashionable couple walking hand in hand towards the "wooden shed", and the two of them were talking about something excited.
"Dear, I must take you to see our Hollywood movies!"
"I didn't expect to see movies starring Tom Hanks in Brazil. If you watch them, you will definitely think that Brazilian movies are really necessary to learn from Hollywood!"
"Good America! Why are you still studying in Brazil?"
The magical conversation between these two couples made Marcin Bernini, who was eavesdropping on the side, and burst out with a "pop" laugh.
What Marcin Benini didn't expect was that after seeing him eavesdropping on their conversation, these two young couples stood on the united front and cursed themselves in unison: "I'm crazy!"
This sentence directly made Marsin Benini, who was already in his 40s, feel a big blush, but the "Hollywood movie" discussed by these two college students did arouse Marsin Benini's curiosity.
Marcin Benini bought a "corn cake" from a small vendor on the roadside and ate a few bites, then walked towards the "wooden shed".
Just as I approached the "wooden shed", I heard "movie sounds" coming from the "wooden shed" not far away.
Just as Marcin Bernini was about to get closer!
But I found that the "wooden shed" had long been crowded with people from inside and outside. Although I could still see a few people maintaining order, there were really too many people on the scene.
While the night has not yet arrived
Marcin Benini could see a very large banner hanging on the "wooden shed" through the crowd.
The banner reads "Forrest Gump, Detective's Aircraft Head", "UFO on Amazon", "Sharp Turning in Star Road", "Browning's Translation", "Life is Beautiful for You", 6 major Hollywood films, you can watch one of them in just 10 reals!"
The "wooden shed" is surrounded by posters after posters, as if they are afraid that someone will not know who the protagonists of these movies are played.
Especially the posters of a Hollywood female star named Jennifer Connery are particularly numerous.
After seeing this price, Marcin Benini couldn't help but smash it. 10 reals are actually not expensive for him, and it's just a meal.
You know, this is a Hollywood movie!
If it looks really good ~
I can also take my family to watch tomorrow.
In order to watch Hollywood movies, Marcin Benini didn't know how long he had been waiting, but when someone covered himself tightly, he suddenly asked: "Hey! boy, there are nearly 140 people in front of you!"
"Even if you queue until tomorrow, you may not be able to watch a movie. It will take at least 98 minutes for a movie."
"Do you consider buying the movie ticket for "Forrest Gump" in my hand. The heroine is very beautiful, named Jennifer Connery, she is a very Western woman!"
Marcin Bernini was startled by this man who had covered himself tightly.
When Marcin Benini saw a red movie ticket tightly in her hand, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you mind if I'll take a look at this movie ticket?"
The man who wrapped himself tightly put the movie ticket in his hand with confidence and took the initiative to put Marcin Benini's hands.
Marcin Benini said in a silly way: "Are you not afraid that I will steal this movie ticket!"
"Ha! They won't allow this kind of thing to happen in the M16 venue!"
Marcin Benini suddenly realized when she heard the man in front of her talk about M16.
Because a small war broke out in the Aleman slum in Rio de Janeiro long ago.
I reported the BBL Voice the next day that I like to watch. It was caused by this gangster named M16.
When Marcin Bernini saw that the tickets for this movie were very simple, it was not like the Brazilian Opera. There was also an anti-counterfeiting logo on the cinema. There was only a simple red stamp and code. Out of the steady progress of the middle-aged man, he asked: "It's not fake, is it?"
"No, no, because your own people will not harm your own people's business."
"For this movie going to the countryside event, we purchased 10,000 movie tickets from M16 a month ago. We have all paid commissions for the extra money. Please don't joke about this kind of thing, sir!"
"And those who make fakes and sell fakes are all our own people!"
When Marcin Benini heard that the person who sold his movie tickets turned out to be a CV person.
Marsin was so scared that he almost didn't get the movie tickets in his hand.
The man on the opposite side who had blocked him clearly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained in a panic: "No, no, sir, please don't worry!"
"I'm just a pure ticket seller now!"
"As compensation for your shock, I will normally sell 12 reals for this ticket, but for my mistake, I can give you 11 reals!"
"And to ensure that you won't be deceived, I can take you to the ticket gate of the movie studio first, and after you pass the ticket, you can pay me the money."
Marcin Benini followed the infamous gangster in front of him skeptically towards the movie studio!
It just so happened that there was a movie studio that seemed to be played.
A large number of people suddenly surged out. Although there was a fixed passage to leave, the sudden appearance of a large number of people was still scared by Marcin Benini. After muttering for a long time, he asked carefully: "Will so many people suffocate in such a narrow tent?"
After hearing Marcin Bernini's doubts, the man who had wrapped himself tightly explained very professionally: "Although we are a temporary place, in order to improve the customer experience, we not only have ventilation fans, but also explicitly prohibited from smoking and drinking!"
"Although it's a little crowded, we found many blacksmiths a month ago and welded a huge iron ladder to ensure that it will not affect the viewing experience of every customer sitting there, nor will it block your view because the customers in front are too high."
After hearing such a professional introduction by this gangster, Marcin Benini asked again: "Why are you so professional? You still know the movie viewing experience?"
"Ha! Don't think I can only kill people with guns. My position was selected from 100 people in the CV. Not only did I have a basic salary of 200 Rekels every month, I also received a commission from selling tickets. You are already my 791st customer today. If it goes well, my sister's tuition fee this semester will be enough!"
After hearing the last words of the gangsters in front of him, Marcin Benini stopped talking.
After all, not everyone is willing to be a bad person at birth. If it weren't for having a good mother, I believe that I am no different from this gangster now.
As for why he blocked himself so tightly, Marcin Benini knew a little, because in order to make himself look "cool", everyone who entered the CV had more or less tattooed on more obvious parts of their bodies!
You should know that tattoo artists in Brazil are a very high-paid profession.
Marcin Benini soon saw the "ticket gate" in the mouth of this gangster.
Although there was only one person wearing a black suit responsible for ticket checking at the door, there was also a sweet-looking girl who was responsible for explaining the "movie watching instructions" to every customer entering the venue.
There were many people at the ticket gate who dressed very similarly to the guys who sold their movie tickets. They all covered themselves tightly with huge coats, and Marsin also saw many acquaintances and colleagues.
"I understand, sir, you must ask again, why can you still see acquaintances!"
"Because we had already determined the movie ticket sales crowd as early as the training."
"A gentleman or lady dressed like you must be a serious high-income group."
"Even students at the University of Rio de Janeiro not far away are customers of people like us. Because only people like you have extra money to watch movies!"
When Marcin Benini successfully passed the ticket gate, he also kept his promise and paid the money for the movie ticket to the gangster.
But Marsin paid 12 reals, not 11 reals.
Because when Marcin Bernini walked into the movie studio, he followed the light from the movie studio and looked back at the gangster who had covered him tightly, and found that he was actually about the same size as his son.
"In fact, when they select salesmen internally, they may deliberately favor these children. After all, it is not bad for children to have more choices for life." Marsin looked around carefully and looked around many of the "salesmen" around him and were very young.
Such a temporary "movie studio" has appeared in many corners of Peru, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, South America!
