Chapter 788 788. Dark Horse (Part 1)

Albert's efforts were not in vain. Although he was not famous, Adolf was indeed a well-known film critic. In addition, the ratings of the show were good, so after the show was broadcast, the bet between him and Adolf was immediately talked about by many people.

Americans like this kind of interesting bet the most. No matter who wins, everyone will see a happy result in the end.

Some bookmakers even opened a bet on which of the two people will kiss the donkey in the end. The bet was very interesting. The bet on Adolf's victory was 1.06 to 1, and the bet on Albert's final victory was 5.91 to 1.

Obviously, in the eyes of these bookmakers, Albert, who proposed this bet, may be very courageous, but they are not very optimistic about this guy, or they are not optimistic about Nie Wei and his "Assassin's League", otherwise they would not give such a huge difference in odds.

Nie Wei learned about this news after recording the talk show that day.

"This black guy is really nice. If I meet him next time, I will treat him to a meal." Luo Kai and Nie Wei knew the news together. After listening to the report, he immediately smiled and said to Nie Wei beside him.

In his opinion, this black guy was really nice to support Nie Wei on the show. Maybe he was Nie Wei's fan.

Nie Wei didn't react much after listening to it, as if he heard an insignificant news. In fact, this news was really insignificant in Nie Wei's mind.

His main concern now was the box office results on the first day.

The next morning, Nie Wei got the results of the first day box office of "Assassin's League" from Thomas, which was 5.3 million US dollars, ranking tenth on the box office rankings of the day.

Luo Kai watched Nie Wei on the side and didn't say anything to the box office data table. He thought it was a bad result, so he hurriedly thought of words to comfort Nie Wei.

"Nie Wei, this is only the first day, the results are not accurate. I have also seen "Assassin's League", it is not worse than those Hollywood blockbusters, I even think it is much better than those Hollywood blockbusters, I think there must be many Americans who understand movies, and the box office will definitely go up in a few days..."

When Nie Wei was studying the box office, he heard Luo Kai chattering in his ear. When he heard what he said clearly, he felt even more amused.

"Brother Luo Kai, actually this result is not bad." Nie Wei put the box office report on the table and explained to Luo Kai, who looked worried, with a smile: "After all, we only arranged two sessions on the first day, not even half a day, and getting more than 5 million box office is already qualified."

"Really? Hey, seeing you didn't say anything for a long time, I thought this result was not good. It scared me. I said, Nie Wei, you are so good, your movie will definitely be popular." Luo Kai smiled happily.

After getting along with Nie Wei for these years, he has a blind confidence in Nie Wei, thinking that whatever Nie Wei wants to do, there is nothing he can't do.

Seeing Luo Kai finally relieved, Nie Wei changed the subject and discussed with him what to eat for breakfast in the morning.

However, during this process, Nie Wei was still thinking about the box office data just now. It was true that there were only two screenings yesterday, but of the 5.3 million box office, nearly 2 million were pre-sale box office. In fact, the movie tickets actually sold on the day yesterday were only more than 3 million US dollars.

According to the number of screens in the cinema, the average attendance rate of "Assassin's League" on that day should be around 30%. This result can only be said to be passing, but it is still a long way from being excellent.

In Nie Wei's heart, the first-day box office originally estimated that it should reach at least 8 million US dollars, so Nie Wei felt that the number of 5.3 million was a bit low. Fortunately, it squeezed into the top ten of the box office list that day. According to the agreement signed at the beginning, the theater chain will not start to reduce the number of screens for "Assassin's League".

So Nie Wei is now thinking about how to further promote the movie, but he didn't expect that the news he knew in the early morning has helped him a lot at this time.

At first, it was just some fans of the show who were happily discussing who would win in the end, but because the topic was really interesting, more and more people gradually began to know about the bet, and thus the movie.

Along with this topic, there were also good reviews from the audience who watched the movie "Assassin's League" on the first day.

A good movie will never lack people who appreciate it. No matter what purpose you enter the theater, when you see a good movie, you will fall in love with it during the viewing process, regardless of what impression the audience had of the movie before.

For example, the young couple Nie Wei met in the theater lobby.

Nie Wei might not have thought that the reluctant boy was even more excited than the girl next to him when he walked out of the screening room, and he talked to the girl about several wonderful shots in the movie just now, and some things he thought were regrettable.

"Alice, that car racing scene was so cool. I used to like Ferrari, but after watching this movie, I found that I fell in love with Porsche."

"And the guns in it are so cool. I love the Colt M1911 with a cross engraved on it that the male lead has the most. I think I should get a gun license. A handsome man like me should have an equally handsome and hot M1911."

"Fox actually committed suicide in the end. It's such a pity. I have never seen such a sexy Chinese girl. She is already a muse from the East in my mind... Oh, Alice, why did you kick me?"

The boy was outspoken and was retaliated by the girl, but this did not interrupt his endless words. After all, seeing a good movie always makes him want to savor it.

And it was not enough to just talk to his girlfriend. After returning home, he immediately went to the IMDB website and looked at the rating of "Assassin's League". There were more than 500 people who rated it, and the rating was 8.2 points. This is a very high score, enough to rank in the top 200 of the IMDB total list. Of course, because there were only more than 500 people who rated it, it was not included in the list.

Anderson actually gave the movie a 10 rating, and then began to look through the comments.

"I bought the ticket because there were not many people in the theater. After all, it was Christmas, and if I didn't do anything in the theater, I felt that the holiday was wasted. Who knew that after entering the theater, the movie was only played for five minutes, and I had already forgotten my girlfriend next to me. Similarly, my girlfriend next to me also forgot me."

"I bought the pre-sale ticket after watching the trailer released by Disney. This movie really did not disappoint me. It was so exciting, especially the last 20 minutes of the hero's revenge scene. It really made my heart explode. It can be said that this is the most exciting movie I have seen this year besides "Batman". The best science fiction action movie ever. "

"It's really great, but the only downside is that I don't know any of the actors."

"I'm more interested in the theory of making bullets turn. I know a shooting range where we can try it. Brothers and sisters who are interested, please bring your babies. We'll meet on the weekend."

"Who can popularize the guns in the movie, especially the gun that the sexy goddess used in the convenience store that can turn? "

Most of the comments in it agree with Anderson. Anyway, he likes the comments that say good things about this movie because he also likes this movie.

After reading the comments, Anderson also left a message.

"Highly recommend this movie. I was forced by my girlfriend to enter the film industry reluctantly, but when I watched it for ten minutes, I found that I had fallen in love with this movie. It suits my taste too much."

Confirmed, uploaded, Anderson smiled and closed the webpage, and began to search for news about "Assassin's League" on FB.

Soon, a piece of news attracted Anderson's attention. It was a video on FB. In the video, three guests quarreled with each other and the conflict was very intense. However, what attracted Anderson's attention was that they were talking about the movie "Assassins" that had just fascinated him.

"I think "Assassins" can rank in the top five of all the movies in this Christmas season... No, it's even possible to be in the top three. I also think it can at least win the weekly box office championship once."

Anderson looked at the black guest on the screen loudly praising the achievements of "Assassins", and Anderson couldn't help but want to give this guy a thumbs up. He even thought that the other party was conservative. Such a good movie, shouldn't it beat all its competitors in the same period?

The mocking words of the remaining two guests made Anderson furious again, and he couldn't help but leave a message under the video: "You two idiots, have you ever seen this movie before you speak nonsense here? I think what Albert said is completely correct. The third is just a conservative estimate for "Assassins' Alliance". I even think it is a super movie that can be compared with this year's "Batman: The Dark Rises"! "

After sending the message, Anderson still felt that it was not enough, and he specially found the FB of the two guests and left the same words below, and then went to Albert's FB to leave some words of support.

When Anderson left the message, many people were doing the same thing as him.

"Who is Albert? He is just a clown. He even proposed a bet. I think he is crazy about becoming famous."

"How good can a Chinese movie be? I think Adolf's venomous tongue today is not good enough. He actually left so much sympathy for the movie "Assassin's League."

"Watch the trailer before you speak. Anyway, I think this movie will be very good. I will go to the theater to buy a ticket to watch it tomorrow."

"I have seen the movie. Adolf is doomed to lose this time. Wait for the donkey to kiss you, bastard. You better pray that the donkey not only brushes its teeth, but is also a female donkey!"

There are some people who support both sides, but because Adolf is more famous, there are more unknown people who support Adolf at the beginning.

But Albert's voice has become more and more powerful over time, because the first batch of viewers who have watched the movie have returned home. Most people have the ability to distinguish whether a movie is good or bad. They naturally will not accept that a good movie is slandered like this. This part of people began to join the debate and chose to support Albert.

The quarrel between the two sides attracted the attention of many onlookers, and the movie "Assassin's League" mentioned by them also left a deep impression on many netizens under this circumstance. At present, many netizens who have seen the excitement are preparing to find time to go to the cinema to see what this movie is like, which can trigger two particularly extreme evaluations.

Just when Nie Wei and Luo Kai were having breakfast, Nie Wei's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Wang Zhonglei.

Nie Wei opened it and felt relieved.

Luo Kai, who was sitting opposite Nie Wei, saw the smile on Nie Wei's face and said with a smile: "Is it a message from Shu Chang?"

"No, it's Brother Zhonglei. The first day box office results of "Assassin's Alliance" in mainland China are out." Nie Wei shook his head and replied.

"How much." Hearing this, Luo Kai quickly put down the bread in his hand and asked anxiously.

"One hundred and twenty-three million." When Nie Wei read out this number, Luo Kai's eyes widened instantly, and then an uncontrollable ecstasy suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head. From Nie Wei's perspective, Luo Kai seemed to be crazy at this moment, with his eyes wide open and his mouth grinning. If he didn't know what he was happy about, he would definitely think he was demented.

Luo Kai was happy for a long time. After he came to his senses, he didn't care about eating breakfast. He once again confirmed to Nie Wei: "One day, one day to get 123 million, right?"

"Yes." When answering, Nie Wei couldn't help but smile. He was also trying to restrain his inner joy at this time. After all, the box office of the movie in the United States was still unclear, and it was not time for him to celebrate.

But Luo Kai didn't think so much. He only knew that Nie Wei was really amazing. Others' movies couldn't get the box office data in a month, but Nie Wei's movie did it in one day!

"Boss Wang must be preparing a celebration banquet in the company now." Luo Kai said subconsciously. Wang Zhonglei is the type who likes to show off. The company has achieved good results, and what he likes to do most is to hold a celebration banquet.

However, this sentence stimulated Nie Wei at once. The results in China are so good, is the United States willing to be so mediocre? Nie Wei is unwilling.

He has even made plans. If the box office doesn't improve today, he will invest more money to increase publicity. Even if the movie loses money in the US market, he must make a deep impression on the American audience. Nie Wei feels that he must work hard.
