Chapter 262 Box Office Carnival

Let me explain a little bit about Fatal ID's $1 million prize win. I said in the article that the notary office will select one of the fans who guessed correctly to get 1 million, instead of all the fans who guessed correctly will get 1 million. Please don't read it clearly.

My book friends should take a look, there is no way I would have such a loophole for you to catch, haha!

-------

Christian looked gloomily on the side and laughed for a while before Zhou Shaoming led the actors into the company. The group of people went directly to the multi-functional conference room of Supernova Pictures.

This conference room is used for meetings with all employees of the company. It is very spacious. The conference room can accommodate more than 400 people. Now it is used to receive media reporters without losing the face of Supernova Pictures.

In the conference room, the round tables and other furnishings have been temporarily removed, leaving only some small seats for media reporters to rest. As for the front of the conference room, there is a spacious podium similar to a stage.

A long table was now set up.

Jon was already busy instructing his subordinates to place everyone's identity cards on the long table. When he looked up, he saw his boss coming with today's protagonists.

Jon walked up to Zhou Shaoming and said, "Boss, you are finally here. The venue has been set up and the press conference will start in an hour and a half."

Zhou Shaoming smiled and patted Jon on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. I have seen everything you have done for the company in the past few months. After the release of The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan is over, I will show it to you."

A long paid vacation!”

Ordinary employees would be overjoyed after hearing this, but Jon made a grimace and said to his boss: "Forget it, boss, I know best what a holiday is for me.

It's like committing suicide slowly. I can't be idle at all, so you should keep me busy."

While talking, Jon looked at Zhou Shaoming with a pitiful expression. Jon's words immediately made Zhou Shaoming defeated. He waved his hand quickly: "Okay, okay, you can compete for the Oscar with this expression."

You won the Best Actor Award, so hurry up and get ready to entertain the media reporters, they are probably coming too."

"Okay!" Jon ignored the boss's teasing and walked out of the door minding his own business.

"Hi. Is this the director of "Fatal ID"?" Just after Jon walked out, Christian said in surprise as if he had discovered a new world.

Following Christian's words, everyone's eyes focused on a young man who was playing with tables and chairs at the moment.

After hearing this voice, the young man touched his head in embarrassment. He walked up to Zhou Shaoming, first said hello to Zhou Shaoming, and then looked at Christian. Although he didn't say anything, he had already acquiesced in his identity.

.

Seeing Christian's point, Zhou Shaoming also took Ben's hand and introduced to everyone: "Seriously, this is the director who made the first pot of gold for our Supernova Pictures - Straben."

Ben smiled and shook hands with everyone. After meeting Ben, everyone started to praise and flatter Ben. They just said that Ben was able to achieve such achievements at such a young age. He was like a chainsaw.

Father is second.

In the end, I just told Ben that I was embarrassed and ran to the side to continue helping tidy up the venue.

Logically speaking, a director like Ben should have stopped doing what an assistant should do. Zhou Shaoming also advised him several times, but he still worked hard and uncomplainingly busy with things he shouldn't die. According to his words: "

Although I am already a real director, I am still the assistant director of the father of Chainsaw! I am not Frank, and I will never forget this identity that has brought me everything!"

Zhou Shaoming's repeated attempts to persuade him failed, so he had no choice but to let him go.

Time also passed quickly amidst the laughter between Zhou Shaoming and the actors.

When everyone came to the venue from the lounge and formally sat down, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, the venue was already full of reporters. The conference room of more than 400 people was packed with people, and more than 600 people were crammed into it.

people!

Looking at the crowd of reporters, Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath. He had done everything he could. The decisive battle would be tomorrow!

Seeing Zhou Shaoming leading the team in, Jon, as the host, quickly arranged for everyone to sit down and officially announced that the press conference was officially held.

After introducing all the main actors present, Zhou Shaoming first spoke: "Dear journalists, welcome to Supernova Pictures. This press conference is mainly focused on the issue of the release of The 300 Spartans.

, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I will try my best to answer everyone."

After Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, the Chicago Sun reporter immediately raised his hand and asked to ask questions. Although the Sun has always been at odds with Zhou Shaoming, freedom of speech is guaranteed in the United States. Zhou Shaoming cannot treat these guys just because they are Zhou Hei.

They turned them away. Besides, Director Smith Zhou was not afraid of these guys who only used their mouths to slander people.

After receiving the agreement, the Sun reporter was overjoyed. He stood up and asked directly: "Hello, Director Smith, I would like to ask if the release date of The Three Hundred Warriors is December 19th.

Is The Lord of the Rings happening at the same time?”

"December 19th, yes, that's the day!" Zhou Shaoming gave his answer without hesitation. This date was also the answer that the entire Supernova Pictures executives came up with after discussions.

Because starting from early December, Americans will start to go to the store to buy some things needed for the most important Christmas of the year. Almost every household is busy giving gifts and decorating their homes. If Sparta

If 300 was released during this time period, movie fans would not have much time to go to the cinema.

For the American people, home and family are the center of Christmas. It is more important to watch TV together and prepare gifts. After everything is done, people will gather their friends and go to the theater to watch the last movie.

More importantly, The Lord of the Rings will be re-installed on this day, landing in 3,359 movie theaters across the United States, officially announcing to the world that The Lord of the Rings, that exciting magical medieval world, is here!

Therefore, Zhou Shaoming made the final decision and decided to put the release date on the same day as The Lord of the Rings. This choice made the United States a little confused.

It is said that it is difficult for two super blockbusters to collide, at least not even one day apart like this. "Fatal ID" and Saw3 are because the Halloween period is the only peak period for horror films, so it is understandable that they collide.

It turns out that 300 Spartans and The Lord of the Rings collided together, which made people wonder if Smith Zhou’s brain was broken.

In response to this, Lionsgate boss Frank curled his lips and said with disdain: "Smith once again lost his mind. He could have scheduled the release at other times, even if it was two or three days away from The Lord of the Rings, but he

But he didn't do this. I can only imagine that his confidence was so overwhelming that he was completely irrational. Haha, but since I have known him, he has rarely been sane. He is like a gambler and likes to be sure.

Win or lose, one day he will lose completely."

At this moment, after receiving Zhou Shaoming's reply, the reporter from The Sun nodded, and then continued to ask: "Director Peter Jackson also held a press conference yesterday. Director Smith, would you like to ask about the Christmas war between the two sides?

What do you think?"

In fact, Zhou Shaoming already knew about this news when it came out yesterday. Zhou Shaoming was not surprised by Peter Jackson's decision. No director would be in trouble with his own box office performance, since he could understand the reason behind it.

It makes sense, then Peter Jackson would also have thought of it, after all, where are his qualifications?

Is the epic fantasy masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" afraid of another movie? How is this possible?

Peter naturally also has this kind of domineering attitude. He puts himself first in everything and doesn't care about any movies that are on schedule with him.

After hearing this question, Zhou Shaoming smiled, and then said to the reporter of The Sun: "I don't have any specific opinions, but I am looking forward to having an exchange with a great director like Peter Jackson. I don't

I think this is a war. This is just two epic movies creating history. The North American box office will usher in a carnival! And The Lord of the Rings will be an extremely great work. On this point, I absolutely agree.

.”

Zhou Shaoming's answer for the first time was not as arrogant and unscrupulous as before. Instead, he highly praised the Lord of the Rings. This statement made the reporter of the Sun newspaper confused. Is this Smith Zhou's true words, or is he speaking before the thunder of wrath?

What about hypocrisy?

Seeing the sincerity on Zhou Shaoming's face, the reporter from The Sun was very surprised by the change of the reality-level director. He could only say thank you, sit down, and leave questions to other media.

As soon as the Sun reporter sat down, another reporter stood up: "Hello, Director Zhou, I am a special reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News. I just heard what you said, and it seems that you have no confidence in yourself. This is not what we usually see.

The father of the chainsaw!"

The media reporters nearby burst into laughter. In the past two years when Zhou Shaoming made his fortune in Hollywood, he often used pre-war declaration-like tones, various confidence-filled tones, and jaw-dropping classic words to become a man of the hour. This meeting

However, Er was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, which made people wonder if they had met the wrong person.

"Everyone will grow up. Although I think my attitude is actually in line with my age characteristics, because of my aura as a current-level director, people think that I should be a very mature and smooth director. In fact, I am only 23 years old.

I like the glow of my youth now, and the current restraint only expresses my feelings for this great work, The Lord of the Rings. If there is any bad movie that competes with me, I will still make my movie as before.
Chapter completed!
