398. American Propaganda (Part 1)
ps: Thank you to Fai Safen for your ten thousand rewards. I have written more than one million words. I am very excited to receive the ten thousand rewards for the first time! Thank you!
The foreign number was called today again. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that news came from Miramax.
Because today is not only New Year's Eve, but also the premiere of "The Grandmaster" far away in the United States.
As expected, this phone call was to tell Ye Sumang about the box office on the first day.
Under Liu Yifei's curious gaze, Ye Sumang slowly pressed the call button and put the phone in his ear.
"Is it my dear Ye? Why did it take so long?" As soon as the phone was answered, the person on the other end complained loudly.
"Please tell me the point, Mr. Jack, otherwise I don't mind letting you waste another time." Ye Sumang said with a slightly frown.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other party also stopped talking, but he recovered very much.
"Ye, you orientals really lack a sense of humor. Well, the purpose of my phone call is to tell you what was released just now." Jack Nai's voice came, making Ye Sumang's breathing slow down.
The hall was very quiet, and Ye Sumang did not avoid Liu Yifei, so Liu Yifei could hear the sound of the phone clearly. When she heard it was the box office of "The Grandmaster" in the United States, her eyes lit up, and her little ears were raised like a radar, and her face was close to Ye Sumang's phone. Obviously, she also wanted to understand it.
After all, this is her true first film to be released in the United States!
"Ye, I think you need to organize your luggage." Jack did not answer directly, and continued to keep insincere.
"What do you say? I say Jack, I hate you to hesitate the most. It really doesn't hurt. Are you a woman?" Ye Sumang almost suffered internal injuries after being told by Jack. Why is it so hard to say that the result is so hard?
However, Ye Sumang's words "women" obviously touched Jack's pain point.
"Ye, although you are a big director and you are a Monopoly, you cannot insult my personality! I want to protest!" Jack clamored loudly.
"Ask for you, I will ask my lawyer to talk to you alone. And if you don't tell me the key points, I don't mind discussing with your company's senior management to replace you, the middleman." Ye Sumang took his phone away a little, and he said calmly until Jack finished making a noise.
Just one sentence made Jack, who was angry just now, instantly silenced.
"Okay, Ye, please forgive my irritability. That's not true me... OK, I'll say now, Ye. I really didn't expect that your movie would be so popular. Do you know that there were only a few viewers in the first game, but by the third game today, it could have an attendance rate of 60%, and today's box office could exceed one million. It's great!" Jack said more and more. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, he was completely disastrous, and he became his own messy words to express his excitement.
But Ye Sumang didn't care, because he had already got it!
An indescribable mood came to my heart, and Ye Sumang couldn't help but smile a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, and the same was true for Liu Yifei, who was beside him, with an exquisite little face smiling like flowers in full bloom.
Finally, there has been a good improvement. Ye Sumang's movies in Hollywood have always been very unsatisfactory. Before, there was only one movie "Singing and Dance" that achieved good box office results, but it was only adapted from his own movie. It was not made by himself, so there was nothing to be proud of.
This time, the release of "The Grandmaster" has a good box office, which has really unraveled a knot in Ye Sumang's heart.
"Hey, Ye, are you still here? Have you heard me say it?" Jack shouted depressedly on the other end of the phone.
After hearing this, Ye Sumang suddenly came to his senses.
"Ahem, please say it again." Ye Sumang coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and asked Jack to say it again.
Jack on the other end of the phone could only nod his head depressedly. If it weren't for Ye Sumang's customer, he wanted to earn an extra commission, he would have quit.
"Ye, that's right. Miramax hopes that you can bring your actors to help promote it. After all, it's a waste not to promote such a good prospect. You have the experience of winning the Oscar last year and have a certain popularity. I believe that it will be helpful to lead your team to promote it." Jack said a lot, but there is actually only one meaning, that is, the box office is good, and you need to lead your team to promote it.
Ye Sumang nodded and agreed without thinking.
However, as soon as he hung up the phone, he was stunned because he seemed to remember that after the Spring Festival, many artists from the company had to form groups to travel.
"Xiqian." Thinking of this, Ye Sumang suddenly had a headache and looked at Liu Yifei with an excited face as if she asked for help.
"Su Mang, there is also a movie starring me released in Hollywood. It's great!" Liu Yifei was still immersed in excitement at this time, not knowing that her man was in a small trouble.
"Xiqian, calm down first. I need your help in some small things." Ye Sumang grabbed Liu Yifei's hands and said flatteringly.
Seeing Ye Sumang suddenly appear, Liu Yifei looked at him in confusion.
"That, on the phone just now, was Jack. He said Miramax Company hopes that we can go to the United States immediately in the last few days to help promote the movies, watch the company's travel..."
"This is not simple!" Liu Yifei waved her hand and looked confident.
Ye Sumang pretended to look at him quickly, hoping that the girl could give a good solution.
"Promotion is the most important. I believe everyone can understand it, but we can't give up on traveling. After all, we have planned it for a long time..." Liu Yifei said, Ye Sumang nodded. Speaking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly changed her tone and smiled: "We can fully cooperate with the publicity to change the travel route. Since we are in the United States, then we can go to Hawaii!"
"This is OK?" Ye Sumang widened his eyes. After all, he had seen these girls discuss together for a long time but couldn't decide. Why did he suddenly make a decision this time?
Liu Yifei heard Ye Sumang's suspicious tone and gave him a blank look, but still nodded with certainty.
"If you don't believe me, I'll call now." After that, Liu Yifei took out her cell phone and called the little sisters one by one. Sure enough, when she heard that she went to Hawaii, there were cheers coming from the other end of the phone.
This made Ye Sumang deeply feel that he was hurt.
"I said that since it's so simple, what did you do for so long in the first discussion, and I always bothered me to give advice. I was thinking about it very seriously!" Ye Sumang asked dissatisfiedly.
Chapter completed!
