Guy Vince looked at the crowd in front of him. There was a long queue in front of the ticket counter. At least twenty people were waiting to buy tickets. Moreover, all four counters were full of people and overloaded. He turned his head speechlessly and looked at his friend Philip Cook, and said sarcastically, "Are you serious? Can you buy tickets even if you arrive temporarily?"

Philip was also caught off guard and retorted with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you see the newspaper this morning? The premiere of the 'the day after tomorrow' only earned $500,000 in box office. This result is too bad. Of course, I think there will not be too many people coming to watch the movie today, and today is Friday working day!"

In 2004, midnight premiere was not popular, and box office statistics were not too important. However, midnight premiere was not rare in summer. Many high-investment and high-cost works chose to start screening from midnight that night after the premiere on Thursday, driving the box office market for the premiere weekend as much as possible. For these works, the box office for the premiere midnight can generally cross the threshold of one million, and for those works whose midnight is less than one million, it undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the box office for the premiere weekend.

Objectively speaking, the performance of the "The Day Afternoon" premiere midnight show is really bad, extremely bad.

Philip took it for granted that there would not be too many viewers coming to watch the "day after tomorrow" today. Unexpectedly, the grand occasion at the scene was completely unexpected. Guy complained speechlessly, "Don't tell me. I sneaked out of my job today and got nothing!"

Philip flew over and said, "I am the one who asked for leave, not you." Guy is a construction foreman, and his working hours are flexible and free; Philip is the manager of Walmart, and he must transfer to the shift to come out at this time. After saying that, Philip ignored the silly smiled Guy and called on the person in line in front of him. "Brother, what's going on? Is there any special discount event today?" This is the only reason Philip can think of.

The middle-aged man showed a puzzled expression, "Aren't you a participant in environmental protection activities?" One sentence instantly made Philip and Guy realize, "Today we all gathered together specifically to watch the 'acquired day', and through such actions, we oppose the government's indifference to the greenhouse effect. Man, you should do the same. The earth is the earth for everyone, and we should..."

Seeing that the other party had already started to talk and prepare for a long discussion, Philip quickly pointed to the huge poster in the cinema. "We came here today to watch this movie." This made the other party stop and then showed a look of praise. Philip then explained, "After the Super Bowl, we have always wanted to watch this movie. So today we rushed over, but unexpectedly, we met so many fellow friends. I thought there was something happening today or something unexpected happened."

"Super Bowl? You guys learned about this movie because of Super Bowl? So are I..."

Guy turned to look at the hustle and bustle in the entire cinema. At this time, there were at least one hundred people in sight. Although he occasionally encountered queues when buying tickets in the cinema. Especially during the summer season, this was the first time Guy saw such a surging crowd, which was really scary - of course, he did not participate in the premiere weekend of "Spider-Man".

"So, these are all your partners?" Guy couldn't help asking curiously.

This sentence made the other party laugh, "No, it's not like that. There are only less than fifty people in our group, and the others are those who are already queuing here. Believe me, we are not the only group who are discussing this movie in the city now." The other party looked at Philip and Guy, "For example, you guys."

These words made Philip and Guy laugh.

On May 7, this scene not only happened in Indianapolis, but also in major cities in North America. On this day, members of the Environmental Protection Association exerted a strong appeal and gathered a viewing team in major cities. To be precise, this viewing plan completely covered the three days of the premiere weekend, and will even continue to the second and third weeks.

They plan to call on as many members as possible to go to the cinema to watch the "day after tomorrow" movie in seven cities on the West Coast, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, nine cities in the central city, including Houston, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, and eight cities in the eastern city, including New York, Miami, Washington, and Boston. They also plan to hold small one-person demonstrations or small group demonstrations at the entrance of the cinema to remind people of the dangers of the greenhouse effect.

The demonstrations that began in September last year will reach their peak in the first week of May this year. They hope to use the strong influence of the summer vacation on the North American economy to complete the promotion of "opposing the greenhouse effect", truly make everyone realize the importance of protecting the planet, and are committed to pushing relevant proposals into the relevant agenda of the presidential election.

Although the activities of the Environmental Protection Association have been continuously continuous, it must be admitted that the social popularity of the activities, the deep awareness of the masses, and the serious attention of the government have always been unsatisfactory. This has also made the association's sponsorship or funds less and more difficult to operate. They now need more funds to maintain the natural ecology similar to the Amazon jungle and further deforestation, but also more interest groups are needed to pay attention to environmental protection projects.

"The day after tomorrow" can be regarded as a public project that grew up with all activities of the Environmental Protection Association in the past six months. It is highly anticipated. It not only triggered a chain of topics in the Super Bowl, but also regarded as an apocalypse. Now it is also used as a summer opening film... There is no doubt that "The day after tomorrow" is the best publicity channel, publicity platform, and relevant organizations of the Environmental Protection Association, so naturally it will not be missed.

The American Environmental Protection Association is an organization that has been established for more than 35 years and has 400,000 members; while the environmental protection-related organizations or associations registered in the United States have more than 20,000, which is a very large number. When everyone is united, it will be a very terrifying force, and no one will despise it.

On May 7, a movie viewing frenzy that was beyond everyone's imagination swept across the United States. At this moment, Hollywood industry insiders suddenly realized that the three months of publicity have been laid on the ground since the Super Bowl. They thought that the 20th Century Fox was too stingy to work hard on publicity, but in fact, publicity has been accumulating strength; they thought that the 20th Century Fox did not release energy until the first week of May, and it was too late, but in fact, if the activities in the first week of May were held early, they would fall into the dilemma of "early/leakage"; they thought that the "Troy" was so loud that the "day acquired" almost disappeared, but in fact, the 20th Century Fox has been making a fortune in silence...

At the same time, a very rare small number of people suddenly realized: Maybe, maybe, or... this publicity campaign started in September last year, because the official start-up time recorded on the "day after tomorrow" was September 2003.

If this is true... this small number of people were shocked and sweated coldly behind them, not because of fear, but because such a superb planner appeared unknowingly. He almost played the whole of Hollywood in his planning and completed the reversal of the "acquired day". Even, it even makes people suspect that 20th Century Fox deliberately showed his enemy as weak, so that the "acquired day" can be premiered in the first week of May, avoiding a group of strong players.

Compared to the box office of "the day after tomorrow", this behind-the-scenes helmsman is truly worthy of attention, because if their guess is correct, then this means that there is another top player in Hollywood. Such a top player only needs to give him time to three works and he can become an emerging force. For example, Jerry Brookheimer.

After experiencing a brief slump in the midnight premiere on May 7, when the sun rises, a movie-watching frenzy is sweeping across the entire North American continent with lightning speed. What is even more incredible is that after watching the movie, the influence of "acquired day" is growing rapidly at a multiplier rate.

"Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ!" Guy was almost stunned and could not speak at all. He could only sigh and stare at the big screen with his eyes wide open, and was shocked.

Philip, who was sitting next to him, was extremely excited, "Did you see it? That hurricane, God, the whole of Los Angeles was shattered; that flood, the hell of the hell, New York became the underwater world! Grass! Grass! This is definitely the most exciting movie I have ever seen in the past year!"

Guy finally came to his senses and shouted at his friend with great excitement, "Grass! I want to see it again, I definitely want to see it again! Have you noticed it? When the last wave of cold wave came, even the national flag was frozen into ice!"

"That's it! And those high-rise buildings, even the marbles were frozen!" Philip shouted without any weakness in the face of his friend.

"God! If the buildings are frozen, it will be at least minus 70 degrees Celsius. No, I think it's too simple..." Guy was trying to use his knowledge to interpret the shock brought by the movie, but Philip interrupted his thoughts, "Get out! Don't forget it, let's buy tickets immediately and bring Jenny and Molly to see it tomorrow."

"Marl doesn't like such visual effects blockbusters." Guy finally calmed down a little and shook his head, but then he overturned his own thoughts, "No, no, she will like it. Experience the feeling of ice and snow in summer, God, my blood is almost frozen into ice, which is so exciting!"

Not only Philip and Guy, but the excited expressions on their faces can be found in the expressions of almost every audience member.
