Chapter 59 Screening of Terminator 2

With the arrival of July, temperatures in London began to climb to their peak of the year, but even then the highest temperature was 72 degrees Fahrenheit, which is quite pleasant to say. Along with sooner or later, when the weather is cooler, you need to wear a jacket, but feel free to wear an umbrella to prevent any rain showers that may come at any time.

In addition, entering July heralds the arrival of various peak seasons, such as tourism, fashion, entertainment, etc., and merchants are making every effort to promote their desire to attract more eyes. But in the movie market, a lot of the movies that were supposed to be on the first day of July were quietly switched, because one movie was on that day too - Terminator 2!

Previously, through various publicity, the distributor succeeded in arousing curiosity about the film, and the liquid metal robot that appeared in the trailer -- 1000 -- surprised a lot of people who liked visual effects as well, and Cameron's original Terminator cultivated a lot of fans, so they got more than 30 million box offices in North America in the first week, compared to 60 million a week!

Many film critics expressed shock at the film, whether it was a plot or a visual effect, and it was even pointed out that the scene of a 1000 stepping out of the blast scene had no less impact on the film industry than Star Wars in '77. Whether or not this is an exaggeration, Terminator 2 did attract the attention of countless people in the shortest possible time.

“In this film, you can see a lot of things, a slight derision of industrial civilization, a film atmosphere that is so intense because of the addition of a religious atmosphere, as well as alternative father-son feelings, that the director is always in excellent control of the rhythm of the film, not so slowly, but always attracts the attention of the audience. The actor's performance was equally remarkable, Linda was feminist, and Edward, only 14, was perfect, and congratulations to Arnault, who had finally found the right way to perform. And Robert, of course, the scene of a thousand coming out of the fire must have been a big one in the history of the film! ”

This is part of a critic's column in The New York Times, and one wonders how shocking Terminator 2 is. Thus, after the second week of screening, North America's total box office is worth over 100 million!

“Remember what I told you, LaVerne? The movie is going to be a frenzy all over the world.” Adrian, sitting on the sofa with his legs up, said on the phone that he was still following the film, although he was in London and Terminator 2 would not be available in the UK for a while.

“This is indeed an excellent film, but not much can be said at this time.” LaVerne's voice remains calm. Steady and not slow, maintaining a good mentality under all circumstances is also a characteristic of him.

Indeed, billions of dollars in the two-week box office are a celebration for any film, except Terminator 2, which, after all, is currently unprecedented in investment. According to the division of the box office, if the box office cannot exceed 200 million, the loss is a positive thing.

Nor did Adrian defend himself, saying a few more words and hanging up the phone. To be honest, he really wanted to go to the cinema the first time to see the movie, and the extra 10 million in investment didn't go to waste. He had seen the enhanced -- 1,000 cgs -- in Cameron's studio before he got to London, and he did remember something different. Adrian wondered if it would be more perfect and shocking to see on the big screen.

But it doesn't matter. In about half a month, the film will be in the UK, and it's not too late to see it. Speaking of which, the guy Cameron burned up the money to be amazing. Though he seemed satisfied with the $10 million investment, Adrian knew that the guy in private wasn't going to pull any more investment.

Crazy guy, but it was this crazy guy who dared to burn out the Titanic with $240 million in the mid-1990s. Although Terminator 2 began the film cg era, Jurassic Park built on it, the trend of high-investment production began with the Titanic.

“So this guy should be holding it in his hand too.” Adrian muttered to himself.

Then, when his ear ached, he saw Emma looking at him with a little grief.

“Okay, what is it?” Adrian asked helplessly, more than a month after the catastrophic accident, that the little girl seemed to have come out of the shadows, not only smiling a lot, but communicating with others was also relatively smooth, sometimes no different than a normal child over the age of one.

Sometimes, it is because she still depends on Adrian, and even if she is no longer required to accompany herself or go to the bathroom, she will be disturbed and panicked if she leaves him for too long. And her feelings for Kate have barely changed, and she's still excluded, no matter how hard they try to please her.

“Origami!” The little girl raises her hand and spits a few simple words out of her mouth, "Frog. ”

“Is it ready? Ah, Emma, you're so smart.” Adrian picked up the frog origami in her hand and took it and waved it at Kate, who was curling up on the other side of the couch.

Keep an eye out for the two Kates, give Adrian a white eye, and keep your head down to read.

“Is it really that good?” Adrian couldn't help but ask.

“Of course, this is the Biochemical Crisis.” Kate smiled half-heartedly.

The official publication date of the novel "The Biochemical Crisis" was late June, because the same language was used and the British version was soon available in London, with the exception of the Japanese version, which received such treatment. After all, Adrian originally wrote this novel for the motive of wanting a little disgusting * * person.

Of course, Adrian explained that * * wasn't he interested in zombie novels, too? Try water in small quantities, the publishing company is strange but still does it.

It's just that the sales volume of this novel... It's really unsatisfactory, the first batch of prints is pretty good, 300,000 copies sold about 200,000 copies, but the publishing company printed 100,000 copies and it won't sell. It's not much, although it's kind of profitable. You know, in order to enrich the content, Adrian deliberately merged the drama of Biochemical Crisis 1 and Biochemical Crisis 0 into a book, and the sophisticated drama was relatively more eye-catching, but he didn't expect the sales to be so general - and of course, it had nothing to do with Adrian's pen name, otherwise the "first science fiction novel directed by a newbie" alone would attract enough attention.

If you're not satisfied, Adrian doesn't have much to say. Let's make the success of Biochemical Crisis a game. It's already good to have this kind of sales in adapted novels. Besides, he doesn't have that kind of money. As for the second-rate writer who wrote with him or refined his pen for him? Arndt doesn't have a problem with that, but he doesn't pay less royalties than he did before. Publishing companies had no opinions, their operations were in jeopardy at the time of the takeover, and the Biochemical Crisis, while not earning much, could at least stabilize the situation and, with the injection of new funds, could be predicted to revitalize.

“But I'd rather see another book,” Kate's voice suddenly turned and a slight smile appeared in the corner of her mouth, "I don't know when I'll see it. ”

“Well, it won't be long, and it should be better than The Biochemical Crisis, I promise.” Adrian couldn't help laughing, and then he felt Emma pulling her horn.

“Ed!” The little girl in her arms raised her hands and whispered, “Take a bath! ”

“Shall we take a bath? Okay...” Adrian looks down the hall, "Ms. Marson, the little guy's about to take a shower. ”

No, you! ”Emma hurried and looked at Kate unhappily.

“Hey, listen, Emma, we had a deal.” Adrian did not compromise and when Ms. Marson arrived, she picked up the little girl and handed it to her.

“Well, Emma, it won't be long.” Marson comforts the little guy, "you'll see Ed soon. ”

Though reluctant, Emma was taken away even though she kept looking at Adrian pitifully.

“How does it feel to be fascinated, Ed?” Kate sighed softly.

“Very good.” Adrian, who had seen the little one go, finally turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Kate hummed softly and rose to the other side of the corridor, and Adrian shrugged behind her. Pushing open the door of the study, the two walked in one after the other, then said nothing and hugged each other and kissed each other violently.

Their tongues tangled hot and their hands soothed against each other, squeaking from this side to that side. Finally, Kate, sitting at the table, clamped her long legs between Adrian's waists, and Adrian started exercising vigorously as she pushed her back.

All the indifferent voices echoed in the study, and all the enthusiasm accumulated was released at this moment. A long time later, the constant tremor of the body ended before the two calmed down in their pants.

“Damn, now we have to see stitches every time we do things, as if we can't see people.” Kate, holding Adrian and not letting go, complained with a loud voice.

“I can't help it, Emma's very annoying, and I can't ignore her," Adrian kissed her face warmly, "well, this is going to get better soon -- yes, you said the California Academy of Arts had already approved the application, right? When this is over, we'll go back to Los Angeles together, and you can do whatever you want. ”

“That's all I know!” In the face of Adrian, who was laughing, Kate hummed his mouth, her legs not loose, and suddenly pushed again, "Do you have time to do it again? ”

Adrian picked the eyebrows: “As you wish. ”

Then the previous voices quickly rang again.

I want the ticket! Lots and lots of tickets!
