prodigal director

Chapter 63 Do you think you should scold me or not?
In order to repay the loan sharks of the system, Hao Huan took out 260 million yuan for a lottery on Weibo, so that netizens fantasizing about getting rich overnight bought movie tickets for "Orphan's Grudge" to draw a lottery, so that "Orphan's Grudge" will be available within 24 hours of pre-sale It broke through the box office of 1000 million yuan.

Now, the National Day is coming, and the movie is finally going to be released!

Hao Huan, who is far away in the United States, is also always paying attention to the premiere of "Orphan's Grudge" in China.

As an assistant, Wang Lexin, the purpose of this trip is to report to the boss some important information before and after the release of "Orphan".

Nine o'clock in the evening in California, USA.

It is now twelve o'clock at noon in China, and the domestic premiere time of "Orphan" is 10 o'clock in the morning. Now that two hours have passed, the premiere has naturally ended.

Li Lirong reported the information to Wang Lexin, and Wang Lexin reported to Hao Huan.

"The ratings and comments after the premiere of "Orphan" are not very good! Now the rating on the Maoyan ticket sales is 8.0, but the comments are almost all bad reviews!"

Hao Huan said with foreknowledge: "The editing of the movie is too outrageous, the plot cannot be connected, and there is no beginning and no end, so negative reviews are inevitable!"

However, he still curiously asked Wang Lexin to come over with his mobile phone to see how the audience who watched the premiere commented on the movie.

I saw that under the comments, there were almost all kinds of words of criticism.

"What the hell! It looks good from the front, but what a mess in the middle and back!"

"Where's the female teacher in the orphanage? Didn't she want to kill her? Why the fuck did she suddenly turn into killing those two brothers and sisters!"

"The actor's acting skills are very good. It's quite suspenseful and exciting to watch at the front, but the more you look back, the more you can't understand it. Does this frankly reduce some of the plot!"

"Orphan editing! Unfinished director! Even a film of this level is embarrassed to be released abroad? Now domestic films have to be made fun of by foreigners again!"

"Bad review! The plot of the movie is a mess, not suspenseful at all, and not even a bit scary! If I had known better, I would have bought a ticket to watch "Narcos"!"

……

Hao Huan was also indifferent to these bad reviews. He shook his head and said, "I kind of know why domestic directors don't make suspense and thriller movies! It's a niche movie theme, but it can't be too scary in the end. , Even the thriller plots that are directly presented have to be subtracted, let alone those thriller plots that like to be shocked."

Wang Lexin thought for a while and said: "Including the two-day pre-sale box office, the total box office of "Orphan" has just exceeded 1500 million yuan. Now that the ratings and reviews are so poor, I am afraid that the next box office will only exceed 2000 million yuan at most! "

Hao Huan said indifferently: "This is fate! Otherwise, I wouldn't have flown all the way to America."

Wang Lexin said regretfully: "In fact, most audiences have recognized the acting skills of the actors and the plot in the front of the movie. If the latter part is not cut too much, the ratings and comments will definitely be very good."

Hao Huan drank his soda, got up and said, "Let's go, it's better to get a worse rating and to spray more fiercely. In this way, I have a reason to blame the film review!"

Wang Lexin quickly drank half a bottle of soda, then took out an American banknote from her bag to pay, and quickly caught up with Hao Huan.

The bustling City of Angels.

Hao Huan walked leisurely on the spacious street full of people coming and going. Tomorrow "Orphan's Grudge" will be released in North America. The offline promotion of North American theaters is very good, and Warner Brothers' online promotion also voted for it. 100 million yuan.

Now the online pre-sale box office in the entire North American market does not know how much it has accumulated, but the pre-sale box office in the United States has reached 24 million yuan in 100 hours, which is equivalent to 700 million yuan at the domestic exchange rate, which is not bad. .

After all, the film and television market in the United States is not as good as that in China, so pre-sales can have a box office of 600 million yuan in one day, which shows that Americans are still very interested in suspense and thriller movies.

Wang Lexin caught up and walked side by side, asking: "Are you really not going to explain it? If the truth is told, the audiences who have watched the movie will not be so harsh."

"It's too early to explain!"

Hao Huan suddenly spotted a domestic hot pot restaurant on the opposite street and said, "Forget it, with your IQ it's impossible to understand what I'm thinking! Have you seen that hot pot restaurant in front of you?"

Wang Lexin asked: "Do you want to eat hot pot? But didn't we just have dinner?"

Hao Huan said: "Dinner at six o'clock, it's almost ten o'clock now!"

"Oh."

……

Walking into the hot pot restaurant, the waitress looked at the outfits of Hao Huan and Wang Lexin, and subconsciously asked, "Chinese?"

Hao Huan responded: "Yes, you two."

"Okay, please come inside!"

The waitress politely greeted Hao Huan and the two to go inside. There are still many customers in this huge hot pot restaurant in this hot weather.

The most amazing thing is that at first glance, most of them are foreigners, which shows that domestic hot pot has successfully gone abroad and conquered foreigners!
Hao Huan looked at the menu and asked, "Is there no pig brain?"

Wang Lexin's face suddenly stiffened...

The waiter said: "There are pig brains, but they are not added to the new menu, because foreigners are afraid to eat them and find them disgusting. Only Chinese people order pig brains when they come to consume."

Hao Huan understood. After choosing more than a dozen hot pot dishes, he said, "Let's serve these and a pig's brain!"

Wang Lexin wanted to run away. Could she say that she didn't dare to eat pig brains because it felt disgusting?But Hao Huan now ordered a portion of pig brains, making it clear that he wanted her to eat them!
Because Hao Huan emphasized several times to let her eat more pig brains, to see if she can be smarter...

Before coming to the United States, she even told her to eat more American pig brains!

Well now, the real American pig brain is about to be served in front of her.

Hao Huan looked at Wang Lexin who had a bad complexion, and knowingly asked, "Why are you holding back your face? Are you constipated?"

"..."

Wang Lexin asked weakly: "Boss, do you like to eat pig brains?"

Hao Huan said calmly: "I don't like it, what's wrong?"

"No... nothing... I'll just ask..."

Wang Lexin gave up resisting and gave up struggling, this pig brain was really prepared for herself!
Soon, the two came back after adjusting the dipping sauce.

The waiter had already brought over the hot pot dishes. When Wang Lexin saw the plate of pig brains, Wang Lexin instantly lost his appetite for hot pot.

Hao Huan personally placed the pig brain in front of her and said, "Because you have done well at work recently, I will reward you with a pig brain supplement!"

Wang Lexin cried and said, "Can I not accept this reward?"

Hao Huan chuckled: "What do you think?"

He was a good man to the end, so he simply boiled the pig's brain and put it in Wang Lexin's bowl, saying: "Eat it, you're welcome."

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin held a piece of broken pig brain with resistance all over her body, then dipped it in sauce and stuffed it into her mouth, looking like she was about to die from pesticides.

In the next moment, her eyes suddenly opened!
"It's so fragrant!"

Is pig brain so delicious?

Although it looks disgusting, the texture and taste are very good!
So, Hao Huan failed to play tricks, and watched Wang Lexin ate a whole serving of pig brains dumbfoundedly!

He got goosebumps when he saw it, and then Wang Lexin's appetite went wild, but he lost his appetite...

Wang Lexin said sincerely: "Boss, although this pig brain looks disgusting, it tastes delicious! Do you want to order one to try?"

"To shut up!"

Hao Huan glared at him, and took a gulp of sour plum juice to soothe his nauseating stomach.

Wang Lexin felt happy in her heart. This guy made himself eat pig brains every day to replenish his brain. I am afraid he will never say this again from now on!

A blessing in disguise!
Wang Lexin ate the hot pot happily. In the end, [-]% of the hot pot dish was in her stomach, and Hao Huan only ate a small portion.

"Go check out!"

Hao Huan ordered silently, anyone who dares to order pig brains when eating hot pot in the future, I will be in a hurry with anyone!
……

When I returned to my aunt's house, it was already 11:30 pm.

At this time, "Orphan" has finished its second movie screening in China today.

After looking at the Maoyan ticket sales, the rating of "Orphan" dropped from 8.0 to 6.7!
He looked around, and among the 16 movies released on National Day, the one with the lowest rating was "Orphan's Grudge"!
And in the comment area, after the two movies ended, the audience was crazily complaining and even insulting!Because many viewers bought movie tickets to watch "Orphan's Resentment" because of Hao Huan's Weibo lottery. Now that it is a movie with a messy plot, they can't help cursing.

Spend money, don't win the lottery!In the end, this crap movie wasn't enjoyable enough to watch. Do you think it should be scolded or not?

The more Hao Huan read these comments scolding him, the more comfortable he felt. He even wondered if he was a masochist!

but……

"Now, it's time to explain!"

He grinned, edited a Weibo post, and posted it...
