After "Hard Fruit Candy" was released on Friday, it won 12.23 million on Saturday, but still beat the 10.75 million Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 10.75 million Texas Chainsaw Massacre" to win the single-day box office championship.

At the box office on Sunday, "Fruit Hard Candy" experienced a certain decline, only earning 7.34 million yuan.

But even so, 7.34 million exceeded the 6.72 million "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and 6 million "Kill Bill" to win the single-day box office championship for the third consecutive day.

"Fruit Hard Candy" also successfully won the single-week box office championship with the second week's box office of 36.12 million in a single week, surpassing the newly released "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"'s 28.11 million in a single week and "Kill Bill"'s 14.55 million in a single week.

This result was far beyond the expectations before the release of "Hard Fruit Candy". The box office of 65.1 million yuan in ten days of release was the box office of "Hard Fruit Candy", which cost only 1 million yuan.

"The Out-of-Control Jury", which costs 60 million yuan in the film released by 20th Century Fox, only earned 11.84 million yuan in the first three days, which is a box office report card that is destined to lose.

"The First Weekly Championship is definitely not the end" - The Hollywood Reporter said: "Last week's accident made the weekly box office champion who should have been awarded a regret. "Fruit Hard Candy", which had been resting for almost four days, showed a fierce and irresistible side.

In a number of films, unexpected cases have become the best publicity weapon for "Hard Candy in Fruit" under excellent public relations.

A single week of $36.12 million is a cost of 1 million. This is the first film in director Justin Chan's career to win the weekly box office championship. This is just the beginning, not the end!"

Variety Show magazine, which is as famous as the Hollywood Reporter, also talked about Chen Tian in its latest issue. Not only did he praise "Fruit Hard Candy", but he also mentioned Chen Tian's outstanding ability in screenwriter and director.

"Super Burger King" also officially set a North American documentary box office record with a box office of 24.23 million.

"Hard Fruit Candy" and "Super Burger King" succeeded continuously, and coupled with the scandal with Jessica Alba, Chen Tian became the most exposed person in Hollywood during this period.

When Chen Tian returned to Los Angeles, news came from Wan Ziren.

When he headed to Boston, "Saw" was filmed and the post-production production was completed.

With Hummers, Chen Tian was about to go to the theater screening room rented by Sunset Avenue.

There Chen Tian will see the new "Saw" and just as Chen Tian drove to the Sunset Avenue, his phone rang.

"Tom Thorneberg?"

Resting the car against the roadside, Chen Tian took out his cell phone.

"Justin, congratulations to you on the big sale of "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Super Burger King". In addition, the DVD and Blu-ray sales of "Breed Live" also started last week, and the results were pretty good.

You are his creator, and I think it is necessary to share it with you. Sales have reached 30 million in the past week."

Sales of 30 million sound good, but this result is far from comparable to some blockbusters. The sales of Mission Impossible 3DVD is said to have reached 100 million in a single day.

Listening to Tom Thorneberg's tone, Chen Tian didn't think he was just telling him about the outstanding achievements of "Burning Live".

What's more, no matter how well the CD of "Buried Live" was sold, this part of the income has nothing to do with Chen Tian. The share agreement signed by Chen Tian and the Lions Gate was only the box office share, and all other income belonged to the Lions Gate.

"Tom, we are old friends too. Tell me what's wrong."

Tom Thorenberg touched his nose awkwardly because the sales of "Buried Live" were very good.

Coupled with the excellence of "Super Burger King" and "Fruit Hard Candy", the idea of ​​Lions Gate's senior executives has been further strengthened.

James Bach failed to pull Chen Tian back to cooperate with the Lions Gate within a limited time. The senior management has decided to fire James Bach.

This result was completely beyond the expectations of the Lionsgate Company. Although it was originally proposed at the meeting, I didn't expect that I would actually do this.

Tom Thorneberg once watched the script of "Saw" and he originally thought that the film was released by Lionsgate.

But the cooperation between Lionsgate and Chen Tian was too short, which made Tom Thorenberg forget about this for the time being.

It was not until yesterday that he saw a reporter interviewing David Ellison and David Ellison's disclosure that Tom Thorenberg remembered this.

He remembered that Chen Tian said at that time that Wen Ziren was very good at abilities, and he was originally very interested in the script.

So he made this call and was about to test Chen Tian’s meaning.

Of course, there is another important factor that cannot be ignored, that is, Chairman Steve Bicks told him.

If Chen Tian can be brought back to cooperate with Lions Gate, he will be promoted to deputy general manager of Lions Gate and also serve as director of the film purchasing department.

This was a huge temptation for Tom Thorenberg, who wanted to try it out.

"Justin, James Batch was fired, and news should be revealed in the next two days, which shows our Lions Gate's attitude. I hope you think about it seriously.

I heard that "Saw" has been completed. I have read the script. It is a subject that we like and are good at. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate.

After all, your cooperation with MGM is not fixed, you have other options, right?

MGM has many reviews released, and you have "The Little Sunshine Beauty" handed over to them. "Saw" is something we are good at, and I think it is no worse than them.

And this time we can give the greatest agreement, and as long as you propose it, there is room for negotiation."

"As long as I propose it, there is room for negotiation?"

"Yes, this is our Lions Gate's sincerity, and what we Lions Gate wants is not you always cooperate with us, but just an opportunity to compete fairly with other companies!" Tom Thorenberg said firmly.

All he can do now is to bring Chen Tian over little by little, cooperate first, and then talk about whether to cooperate continuously in the future.

"Tom, although we are friends, you also know that I am now being pursued, just like a man pursuing a woman, although I don't like this metaphor.

If you want me to cooperate with you, how many conditions are you willing to offer?"

Chen Tian didn't want to give up his initiative, so he simply asked the Lions Gate to make conditions.

Although I only collaborated with Lions Gate on "Buried Live", the cooperation was quite pleasant.

If it weren't for James Bach's interference, Chen Tian wouldn't have collaborated with the Lions Gate.

As Tom Thorenberg said, the Lions Gate's ability is unique in the release of thrillers and horror movies, which is also the basis for the Lions Gate.

Now that James Bach has left, Lions Gate once again expressed the meaning of friendly cooperation.

Chen Tian was unwilling to break up with the Lion Gate completely, at least he was not a good deal.

"North America box office 30%, DVD and Blu-ray disc 40%, all of these are for you.

We will bear the series of expenses such as publicity, distribution, guilds, and copying. In addition, the director's fees and screenwriter fees will be given to you."

Tom Thorenberg's proposal made Chen Tian take a breath. The Lions Gate really made up his mind this time, and such a proposal was completely crazy.
