Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 468 Expectations from all parties
"X-Men First Class", which was released on June 6, has not received bad reviews.

But due to the overall replacement of young new actors.

It received 5600 million in the first weekend, which is far less than the 3 million US dollars of "X-Men 1.02".

During the same period, due to the lack of other large-scale releases in the market, the overall market fell by nearly 30%.

This accumulated desire to watch movies will most likely burst out in the next wave.

Among Disney's senior executives, Ryan, who is in charge of market distribution, couldn't help but secretly sigh, "It's no wonder that Chen found a good time slot."

He pulled out today's newspaper prepared by his assistant.

The first was the local Los Angeles Times.

The headline on the entertainment section read: "The Black Pearl has passed by, and the infinite world is about to open up to the world."

This is a report that explains several major Disney film series.

The reporter who wrote the report predicted that Infinite World would be the new Pirates of the Caribbean.

To be honest, it was a bit like popping champagne at halftime.

But Ryan looked very happy.

Everyone at Disney is happy to see the company create a new gold mine.

He sincerely hopes that the predictions in the report will come true.

To this end, the company has been frantically working on various channels.

In an office building in Los Angeles, Langdon secretly glanced at the manager's position to confirm that it was safe.

Then he opened the webpage and found the "Infinite World" special discussion group that he often visited.

"Tickets for Infinite Worlds are now available for pre-order. After nearly a decade of waiting, my friends, this is our carnival moment."

The first post I saw was about booking movie tickets in advance.

"From the information I've received from all sides, except for those few old-fashioned film critics, almost everyone who has seen the film has given it positive reviews. I'm beginning to look forward to the moment when I can watch the film."

"June 6th, just a few days away."

"I've already bought the tickets."

"..."

The people in this community are basically book lovers who have read the novel "Infinite World" in the past.

Everyone has long imagined what the scene would be like if the novel was adapted into a movie.

Now that a few trailers have been released, everyone has quietly raised their expectations.

After several internal previews, the reviews were very high.

The atmosphere in the community became anxious, and people couldn't wait to sit in the cinema and watch the finished film as soon as possible.

The posts just now are examples.

Langdon shook his head, still so impatient and without any patience at all.

Then he opened the ticket purchasing website and leisurely bought tickets for the premiere, which was Friday night.

You see, I'm not in a hurry at all.

I just went to see a movie after get off work on Friday.

Next door to Langdon, Philip was also secretly surfing the Internet.

He looked at Emma Watson's homepage on Twitter and smiled fondly.

I have been following "Harry Potter" for many years, and my favorite is the little actor who played Hermione.

I have been her fan for 5 years.

Langdon scrolled down the comments.

Found out that Emma posted a new comment yesterday:
"Infinite Worlds" will be released in 4 days, please support it."

Attached below was a photo taken in the studio, with Chen and Benedict sitting next to her, making funny expressions.

They seem to have a good relationship.

In the past few days, Emma has been sharing information related to "Infinite World".

This made Philip somewhat uncomfortable.

He is a fan of Harry Potter, especially Hermione.

Some time ago, because of the news spread on the Internet.

He almost got into a fight with his colleague Langdon over their favorite novels.

That person, Langdon, looks down on this and that every day.

How dare you say that the plot of "Harry Potter" is not exciting enough and not as good as "Infinite World".

Haha, it’s ridiculous to think about it.

However, I recently heard that Chen, the author of "Infinite World", is a senior "Harry Potter" fan.

Ms. JK Rowling also seems to like "Infinite Worlds".

Fili looked at Hermione smiling happily on the screen, and then looked at the comments hoping for everyone's support.

So I gritted my teeth, opened the ticket purchasing website, and bought a ticket for Friday.

"I might as well go and take a look after get off work, just as a way of supporting Hermione," he thought.

After entering June, as North American schools gradually close for vacation, the hot summer season arrives.

The box office war is about to become fierce.

Bob Gerry is the owner of a boutique located next to a movie theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

Therefore, in addition to some special souvenirs, he also sells some movie-related products.

In recent times, the most popular movies such as "X-Men", "Infinity", "Transformers", "Harry Potter", etc. are all movies that have recently participated in the summer box office battle.

Now Bob is instructing the store staff to make some space in the store to continue selling new peripheral products of "Infinite World".

In addition to the novel peripherals such as the main god watch, Chinese talismans, etc. which have been selling very well before.

Now there are a lot more contents added:
Weapons and props used by the protagonists in the movie, a miniature version of the protagonist's room, and various props that can be exchanged for the main gods (copyrighted).

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the life-size statues of the main characters of the Nakasu team.

Of course, these statues are not for sale now.

It was just put up by the filmmakers for viewing. However, within a short time of being erected, several customers passing by had already asked about the price.

He looked so eager to try it that if Bob hadn't been unable to sell it, he would have probably spent money to buy it.

You have to know that this thing is not cheap, at least tens of thousands of dollars each.

"Hurry up and put these goods in the warehouse. Move the outdated items piled in the warehouse directly to our Warehouse No. 2."

Bob felt uncomfortable when he thought about the peripheral items of past failed movies in the warehouse.

Although he had a good eye, he always made mistakes sometimes. As time went on, the unsaleable goods gradually accumulated.

"Boss," the assistant came over and said hesitantly, "We bought so much goods at once. Isn't it a bit too risky? What if there's a delay..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Bob raised his hand and interrupted the spell. "This is just the beginning. When Harry Potter was first released, the batch of goods I imported was much larger."

Many times, the peripherals are produced in batches.

Some producers, for commercial interests, make each batch of peripherals slightly different.

Therefore, the first generation of popular peripherals tend to be more popular.

Bob made his first fortune by taking a gamble.

"Infinite World" is probably the hottest novel series after "Harry Potter".

At the very least, it can become the next Twilight.

Considering the many classic movie worlds that appear in the novel, it is highly likely that it will surpass "Twilight".

Therefore, in his opinion, this operation is not a gamble at all.

Next to Bob's store, in front of the cinema, several high school students who had just finished their vacation were gathered together discussing something.

"Carlos, are we here too early? It's only the 7th and the movie won't be released for another two or three days."

The blond and sunny Carlos crossed his arms, full of confidence, and with a handsome face, you can tell at first glance that many little girls will like him.

Before he could say anything, the girl Rachel next to him spoke.

"Evans, if you come back in two days, there might not be any tickets left."

"It can't be that fast. This isn't a movie like Harry Potter." Evans felt heartbroken when he saw his beloved girl always speaking for others.

"Hehe, you underestimate Infinite World. I'm afraid that by then, I won't be able to buy tickets for the day."

"impossible!"

"How can it be impossible? So many people on the Internet say that Infinite World is great."

"That's right, Chen is a genius, the movie he makes will definitely be good."

"You are so superficial."

"You are superficial."

Carlos paid no attention to his friends' argument.

He thought they were a bit noisy.

Rachel in particular, for some reason, always followed him and Evans.

Disrupt their surging brotherhood.

Is it a secret crush on Evans?

Carlos thought with disdain that the feelings of these little brats were so boring, and were not as interesting as those in novels and movies.

It is truly the wisdom of mortals.

He felt like Chu Xuan, seeing through all living beings.

Several people walked into the cinema noisily.

Even on a weekday afternoon, the cinema was crowded, after all, it was a busy place like Hollywood Boulevard.

After queuing up, Carlos took the lead and confidently said to the ticket seller,

"Hello, 6 tickets for Infinite Worlds on June 10 at 7pm. Thank you."

"Sorry, the tickets for this time period are sold out." The ticket seller said regretfully.

"What?" Carlos couldn't hold back his confident expression, "Why so fast?"

"Is there an earlier time?" he asked anxiously.

"Yes, but there are no good seats in the middle anymore. Do you want them?"

After a quiet discussion, they decided to buy the tickets.

"See, I told you to come early." Rachel looked up at Evans.

Evans blushed and said, "Even if we sell out the tickets for a time period, it doesn't mean that we can sell out the tickets for the whole day in a few days."

"Just be tough."

"That's right, Evans is just being stubborn."

Several people took turns to denounce the loser.

Only Carlos looked a little disappointed and didn't say anything. I was lucky enough to have made a mistake.

Haven’t I reached Chu Xuan’s level yet?

Beverly Hills, Chen Linfeng's residence.

Liu Qianqian was holding up a light yellow dress and trying it on herself. "Xiaofeng, does this look good?"

"Yeah, not bad."

She pointed to a white one, "How about this one?"

"pretty."

Liu Qianqian was not happy about it. "Why do you keep giving me the cold shoulder? Did some little devil hook up with you while I was away for a few days?"

Chen Linfeng was originally swiping his computer to check the pre-sale status of the current movie.

Hearing this, he had to raise his head and said helplessly, "Who did you listen to to spread this rumor?"

"Xiao Chang told me that Emma Watson has been sticking very close to you recently."

Liu Qianqian put her clothes down, came behind Chen Linfeng, and leaned against him.

She said aggrievedly, "I knew this little bitch had bad intentions. I saw it from the beginning."
