Chapter 476 Soaring Box Office(1/2)

With the release of "The Cove Documentary" on the 19th of this month, it has achieved a box office of 11 million in North America at its premiere. Both the media and the audience have very high praise for this documentary!

The well-known film critic Kirk Alta of "The Hollywood Reporter" gave "The Cove Documentary" a high evaluation: For a documentary, the "Dolphin Cove" movie is a masterpiece both in the media and in the hearts of the audience.

A very valuable movie! The plot in the movie does not make people feel boring at all, but the exciting adventure makes people enjoy watching the movie in one breath!

When watching the end of the film, the scene of the dolphins being slaughtered made people shudder. This is a touching film and a film worth pondering!

Just after the premiere of "The Cove", the media who paid attention to the movie gave their evaluation that night! When they saw the bloody scenes, no one was shocked!

""The Bay of Dolphins" is a documentary that shocked the world. The success of its filming is like planned news. The director, actors and filming crew made a series of preparations in the early stage, conducted unannounced visits, hidden filming, and finally made the Japanese Taipei

The fact that local towns secretly slaughtered dolphins in the bay has been made public.” New York Daily News

As the media audience praised the movie, George, who had been worried all the time, came to the company with a happy mood. George approached the official business with a smile on his face!

When Zhou Shaoming saw George entering the office, he couldn't help but snorted and asked knowingly: "George, what makes you in such a good mood!"

George said to Zhou Shaoming: "Zhou, there's good news and there's bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and said: "Looking at how happy you are, the bad news shouldn't be too bad, so let's hear the good news first."

George, who had been worried about the box office results of "The Cove" last night, was so happy this morning. Zhou Shaoming wanted to know what news made George's expression change drastically.

You can imagine the predicament that "The Cove" was in after it was released in North America! Faced with a box office result of only 11 million in its premiere, it is impossible to think of a big breakthrough today!

George said with a smile: "Japan has approved the release of our movie." George said with a line of mouth, smiling like a child.

Zhou Shaoming suddenly understood. It turned out that George thought that there would be a blockbuster film released in North America tomorrow. As the box office results of "The Cove" yesterday were among the lowest we expected, he began to want to move the battlefield to Japan!

Zhou Shaoming nodded with satisfaction: "What you did this time is really satisfying! When will it be released in Japan?"

When George saw a smile on Zhou Shaoming's face, he couldn't help but said with some pride: "The film has just been qualified for release. There are still some details that need to be discussed later, but the release in Japan is a sure thing."

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but simply said: "Okay, you will be fully responsible for this matter. I just have to finish filming my movie. The crew of "The Bay of Dolphins" must be impatient to wait, and they plan to let me arrange when to film this change."

A romantic movie?”

When George heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Zhou, don't you want to hear bad news?"

Zhou Shaoming sighed and couldn't help but said to George: "How bad the news can be. Tomorrow is the time for "Shrek 2" to be released. There will also be a blockbuster "Doomsday" released next week. With these two weeks,

With the release of a blockbuster movie, it is estimated that our movie "Dolphin Bay Documentary" will be scrapped and will be removed from the theaters at any time. I know all this, so have some confidence in me! Although this "Dolphin Bay Documentary" did not perform well at the box office

It must be similar to our previous commercial films, but it will not be so bad that theaters will order the film to be removed from the shelves after it is released."

When George heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, looked a little depressed, and whispered: "That's not the case."

Zhou Shaoming was stunned for a moment. Looking at George's expression, it seemed that something bad had happened, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is that?" Zhou Shaoming had a bad feeling in his heart. He always thought that George was always obsessed with the achievements of this film.

I thought it was about this thing, but I didn't expect it to be about something else. What other things would have bad news?

"The Incredible Hulk 2" has been well promoted, and its release date for next month has been confirmed. After I leave during this period, there is still the romance film "Dolphin Cove" that Zhou Shaoming wants to change to be filmed.

George said hesitantly: "Screenwriter McGee has been waiting for you to return to China. He no longer plans to write plots for our films. He left the company very early. I tried to invite him several times, but he didn't intend to write for "Dolphin Cove"."

"Writing a romance story."

Zhou Shaoming was stunned. It was really bad news. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "This matter is my fault. I did something wrong first. Is there really no room for negotiation?"

George shook his head and said: "He is already writing plots for other film and television works."

After Zhou Shaoming pondered for a while, he said: "Forget it, you first deal with the release of "Dolphin Bay Documentary" in Japan."

George couldn't help but ask: "What about the fact that you are going to shoot a romance film on this theme?"

Zhou Shaoming sighed and couldn't help but said: "McGee is gone. How difficult it was to invite him here in the first place! With him gone, the soul of this movie is gone. I won't shoot it for the time being. I'll wait until I have new ideas."

Tell you!"

It is impossible for Zhou Shaoming to talk about the system in front of George. Regarding the mission of the system, even if there is no romance script written by McGee, at least the movie "Dolphin Cove Documentary" has been released.

As George left, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but call McGee.

McGee told Zhou Shaoming what was in his heart on the phone, "Director Smith Zhou, at first, I was waiting for you to come back to shoot the movie, but I didn't expect that after you arrived in Japan, you would never return.

After procrastinating and procrastinating, I finally left because I couldn't wait any longer. Now that I think about it, it was because I didn't have enough confidence in you. Yesterday I also went to see the "Dolphin Bay Documentary" you shot, and I regretted it very much.

It’s just that now I have work on hand.”

Listening to the words of McGee, the revered godfather of screenwriting in the Hollywood screenwriting world, Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and responded to McGee: "I didn't keep the agreed time. It's right for you to leave. It seems that we are destined to be together."

I didn’t have the opportunity to cooperate this time, and I hope there will be an opportunity to cooperate next time.”

Zhou Shaoming hung up the phone and calmed down his mood. Faced with the fact that the new movie could not be filmed as scheduled, Zhou Shaoming felt really disappointed.

However, after the release of "Dolphin Cove Documentary", which was well received by the audience, Zhou Shaoming finally got some comfort in his heart!

Netizen Android wrote on the Internet: "After watching the movie "Dolphin Cove Documentary", I followed the steps of director Smith Zhou and approached the slaughter of dolphins in this small harbor step by step. Even if you are not an environmentalist,

It’s hard to hide my natural compassion. When I see the bloody sea water after the massacre, my heart will tremble, and every life will disappear like this. It’s so sad. This is the most unforgettable documentary I have ever seen!”

Sher said: "The bloody bay...the shocking massacre scene at the end of the film makes people feel heartbroken after watching it! Every villager in the global village should watch this film."

For viewers who have watched this movie, they all feel the same way, and they can't help but praise this documentary for being so thought-provoking.

Eaton Alta of the "New York Film Critic" wrote in public: "The documentary "The Cove" has a lot of meaning and value, but it does not directly define its meaning or value, but gives the audience more to think about. And in this film

to discover deeper value or meaning.”

After reading the constant praise for this movie on the Internet, Zhou Shaoming showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. As he was unable to shoot the new movie, Zhou Shaoming cheered up. He may be a little disappointed, but after all, he has brought a valuable movie to the audience.

When "The Cove" was released in North America on its second day, the box office performance began to rise, ending the second day of release with a box office of 26 million.

The popularity of this documentary has quickly become a topic of discussion on the Internet! When more and more viewers see this kind of film, they can’t help but express their feelings!

On the Yahoo website, Doyle, a netizen, criticized: ""The Cove" brought me touch, excitement, confidence and courage. I think this is also the feeling it brings to most people, inspiring and

Confidence. After reading "The Cove", we can't help but ask: What can we do? Without buying and selling, there will be no killing. Only by understanding can we care; only by caring can we take action; only by action can life be saved.

There will be hope.”

Benjamin came to the office, saw Zhou Shaoming, and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Zhou, Jones, the director of Blizzard, wants to see you?"

When Zhou Shaoming heard about Jones from Blizzard, he couldn't help but stand up and said to Benjamin: "Please come in quickly!"

Before Jones entered the office, Zhou Shaoming had already walked to the door to greet this important person. Although Zhou Shaoming did not know the purpose of Jones' arrival, he expressed great enthusiasm for Jones' sudden visit!

Zhou Shaoming, who saw the director of Blizzard for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Looking at Jones's face, he couldn't help but ask in his mind: I seem to have seen him somewhere before!

Jones held Zhou Shaoming's hand and asked, "Do you think I look familiar?"

Zhou Shaoming nodded, couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I seem to have seen you somewhere, but I really can't remember."

Jones sat on the sofa and said to Zhou Shaoming: "There were too many audiences in the cinema that day, and after watching your movie "The Cove", I was very emotional. With so many audiences passing by you, how could you

Maybe you remember me?"

After listening to Jones' words, Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said in shock: "You were also watching my movie in the theater that day." Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and thought about it and said, "No wonder when you passed by me that day, I

It looks familiar, and it turns out to be the Blizzard director I've always wanted to meet, Dow Jones!"

Jones couldn't help but smile and said: "How come Director Zhou still remembers me? Your movie was very successful."

When Zhou Shaoming heard Jones' praise, he couldn't help but humbly said: "Thank you, that is the result of the joint efforts of our team members."

Jones nodded and said to Zhou Shaoming: "A leader who can have such an outstanding team seems to be not simple at all. You are one of the top directors in Hollywood!"

Zhou Shaoming listened to Jones' words and didn't know what he wanted to express, let alone the purpose of Jones' arrival! He couldn't help but asked: "You are exaggerating a bit. I don't know what the purpose of your coming here is?"

Facing Zhou Shaoming's question, Jones said bluntly: "About the last time you mentioned to our company the acquisition of our Blizzard company!"

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but froze when he heard Jones' words. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Regarding Jones' sudden visit and such news, Zhou Shaoming took a while to come to his senses.

Jones frowned, looked at Zhou Shaoming, who had not spoken for a long time, and asked: "Doesn't your company have such intention now?"

Zhou Shaoming quickly came to his senses and said to Jones: "Yes, we have never given up on our intention to acquire Blizzard." Zhou Shaoming was a little excited and his voice changed a little.

Jones looked at Zhou Shaoming's expression, and the worries in his heart were gone. He couldn't help but smile: "Well, I hope your company will start preparing documents in this regard. We can start talking first. Of course, you know that although Blizzard's capital chain

It has collapsed, but many people have expressed strong interest in our company, so I also hope that your company will show real intention to complete the plan to acquire our company, and I look forward to cooperating with you even more!"

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but his eyes lit up after listening to Jones's words. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to go immediately."

Jones' departure made Zhou Shaoming feel happy and he quickly called George, who was still working on the release of "The Cove" in Japan!

George said in surprise: "How is it possible? How could Blizzard be willing to cooperate with us?"

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath on his cigar and said firmly to George: "The matter has been laid out in front of you, you can't help but believe it. George, what do you think?"

George was stunned and said: "What can I say? This is of course a pie-in-the-sky thing."

Zhou Shaoming sighed and said to George: "However, our company's budget this year seems to be not low. Now we have to negotiate with Blizzard about the acquisition. Are there any funding problems?"

George said without hesitation: "There is a big problem." George looked at Zhou Shaoming, who frowned, and then said: "But I will definitely try every means. Even if I ask a bank to borrow money, I will definitely let our company complete it."

This acquisition of Blizzard!"

Zhou Shaoming heard George's affirmative tone. It seemed that he had been preparing for the acquisition of Blizzard since the last time he talked to this guy about it. When he heard George's words, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but nodded and said, "This makes me feel relieved."

George said to Zhou Shaoming: "Zhou, I'm going to Japan to talk about the release of "The Cove". Should I wait until I get back to contact people from Blizzard, or should you go in person?"

Zhou Shaoming said to George: "Blizzard will give us priority. You can go to Japan first, but you only have three days. Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or not, you must return to the company after three days." Zhou Shaoming thought that because he was in Japan

The delay resulted in McGee's departure.
