233 Like falling into the ice cellar

"'The day after tomorrow' won the championship, and 'Troy' suffered a crushing defeat in both sides.`"

Jason Berkeley's eyes remained on the headlines of the entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times, as if it was fixed by glue. The bright and dazzling title seemed to be truly staged with the fall of an empire, magnificent and magnificent, shocking the soul, but a sense of powerlessness arises naturally.

Ryan Kavalug sat on the boss chair opposite him. His usual upright and majestic sitting posture seemed a little sluggish at this time. The stiff shoulder line revealed his true feelings of being sluggish and cowardly. He rubbed his chin on his clothes hard and tried to wipe the sweat from his palms clean, but it failed. This made him irritable and cursed irritable and roughly, "Damn dog/shit! Is even Cliff unable to do anything?"

Tucker Toure was in a bad mood at this time. He scratched his head hard and returned unhappily, "The situation is already like this. Do you want Cliff to open his eyes and tell lies? The 'Los Angeles Times' is not our back garden!" After saying that, he looked up and glared at Ryan, turned back with a silence, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still unhappy and rushed back directly, "Even Warner Bros. and Project B Pictures have no choice. What do you think I can do!"

This article in the Los Angeles Times was written by Cliff Robinson. It can be seen with just a title that even the Los Angeles Times is unable to make the world come true. Faced with the "acquired" box office curve and the suicide-style destruction of "Troy", even if Cliff Robinson is willing to cover up for "Troy", he is still willing but unable to do so. Therefore, the Los Angeles Times has to cater to the market and has made a footnote to this box office war that has triggered enthusiasm across the United States.

Seeing this title, Ryan and Tucker's mood was like the heavy rain in December in London, cold and wet, foggy and dark. But for Jason, his mood was even more turbulent. He was almost losing control.

Did Lance really predict that this day would come? Did Lance really know that the box office of "Troy" would be a crushing defeat? Did Lance really deliberately dug a trap to let them jump? From "Harry Potter" to "Pirates of the Caribbean", from "Troy" to "the day after day"... everything seems to be real fables, with an astonishing eye that is chilling.

Jason's mind was filled with mixed thoughts, but he couldn't find an outlet. Looking back at the conversation between him and Lance at the China Theater a few days ago, Jason felt a chill in his heart. The fear that swarmed in from all directions forced him to the corner of the wall. The fear that swarmed from all directions made his skin feel goose bumps, making him start trembling with teeth.

Looking up, Jason looked at Ryan and Tucker. But he was always struggling in his heart. He didn't know whether he should tell them his guesses; he didn't know what else would have to have; he didn't know who they were facing.

Ryan did not notice Jason's upset at this time. He just opened the newspaper on the desktop irritably. As he wished, almost all newspapers' entertainment editions had the names and posters of "Troy", but they were not the way he expected. When all media mentioned "Troy", they sighed and sighed - imagine. Even the "Los Angeles Times" had to turn against each other, so what could other media do?

In fact, the North American box office rankings in the second week of May cannot be said to be the focus of everyone - because almost everyone is sure that "Troy" will win the championship, and the focus is not as good as the upcoming "Monster Shrek 2" vs. "Troy" in the next week, but when the list came out, it caused an earthquake-like sensation - just because the ending was beyond everyone's imagination.

Ryan brought the Los Angeles Times in front of Jason and carefully looked at the list of this week's weekend box office rankings. The day after tomorrow" completed an incredible two consecutive championships with a score of 47.9 million, and "Troy" ranked second with a slight gap of only 900,000 US dollars.`

After these two works, "Musty Girl", "Anger Rescue", "Breakup Manual", "Girl Dream Thirty", "New York Moment", "Law of Attraction", "Kill Bill", and "Ultimate Bad Target" ranked third to tenth respectively.

In fact, except for the newly released "Troy" and "Breakup Manual" on this list, the other rankings are basically the same as last week, and there is no difference. The best performance this week is undoubtedly "Musty Girl", who robbed all the attention when the box office battle between the two works. The box office decline of "Musty Girl" is only 25%, and the small-cost work launched by Paramount has begun to enter the profit stage.

However, Ryan's vision finally fell on the champion and runner-up. It is hard to imagine that the accumulated box office of "the day after tomorrow" has reached 170 million in just two weeks!

170 million, what does this mean? This means. "The day after tomorrow" will not only surpass the "perfect storm" and become the most outstanding disaster film since the "Titanic"; this means that the day after tomorrow retains the hope of hitting the box office of 300 million North American box office. If the overseas box office is excellent, the day after tomorrow will become the first disaster film that can achieve box office profits since the "Titanic"; this means that the second work directed by Lance once again won a great victory, and it also achieved a big box office boom in adversity!

This also means that Chaos Film has once again gained the upper hand in its head-on confrontation with Diorama.

From the Oscar's dark horse leap to the summer counterattack, Chaos Pictures completed the triple jump from "nothing" to "small achievements" in less than three months. Although Chaos Pictures has only released two works, and can only be regarded as a third-tier film production company, Diorama still maintains a huge advantage; but its rapid rise is enough to make everyone look at it. Diorama Pictures has spent three years to manage it, and Chaos Pictures completed it within three months.

If Ryan continues to do so, it will be hard for him to imagine what the ending will be.

"Crash", Ryan couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists, rubbing the newspaper in his hand directly. Not only did the anger in his heart not vent, but it was suppressed to the extreme, so that his hands began to tremble slightly, "Calm down, we need to calm down." Ryan said, the tense voice was filled with unsettling emotions, "We can't get lost. Think about it, the "Twelve Arhats" at the end of the year is a work that won't win or lose." As a sequel with a good reputation in the previous work, coupled with the powerful cast lineup, "Twelve Arhats" is indeed a work that will not fail, just like "Monster Shrek 2".

"Then we have the 'Rwanda Hotel' at the end of the year's awards season. As long as this work runs well, it is very easy to occupy a place in the awards season. We only need to nominate, and Diorama Film can continue to maintain its advantage in the field of art film!" "Rwanda Hotel" is the work that Jason negotiated on Oscar Night. The movie is currently being filmed in full swing, and Diorama Film's main energy is focused on this work.

Ryan's calm words rekindled hope in Tucker's eyes. From "City of God" to "After the Day", they have suffered so many blows that they almost forgot that Diorama Film still has a huge advantage at present, and Chaos Film still has a long way to go to catch up. They should not panic, at least they should not lose their composure.

"What's more, the next week, "Monster Shrek 2" will be released. The decline of all movies will not be too low. If he wants to hit 300 million, he also needs to ask "Monster Shrek 2" or "Harry Potter" whether he agrees!" Ryan's fist was completely clenched, and his body began to tremble gently. This is the summer season. If "the day after tomorrow" wants to achieve great results, he not only needs to face a competitor of "Troy". Therefore, the battle has not yet ended, so he bows his head and loses now. This is not the value that Ryan upholds. "We will shift our main propaganda positions abroad, especially in Europe. Relying on overseas box offices, we can not only recover costs, but even make profits!"

"But, what if all this was what Lance expected." Jason finally couldn't help but interrupt Ryan's passion and ambition and spoke out his concerns, which made Ryan and Tucker look over in confusion. "I mean, if Lance had expected the box office of Troy from the beginning, he would give up easily when we intervened. All of this was just a trap?"

Jason's words were light but heavy, and heavier, pressing hard on Ryan and Tucker's chests, making people breathless, "You're crazy!" Tucker shouted incredibly, his eyes full of doubt and anger.

Jason looked back without any weakness, "Did you forget it? 'Harry Potter', 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? If you need it, I can give more examples!"

Tucker opened his mouth but could not refute it at all. Then his feet still trembled slightly, and finally fell on the chair weakly, feeling lost.

Ryan, who was sitting in the position, was also stunned. After recalling it carefully, his body began to shivering and he thought about it very terrible. The strong rise of "City of God", the heavenly box office trend of "acquired" and the fall of "Troy" into the abyss... These strange things and details came to his face like a blizzard. It was obviously a hot summer, but the entire office seemed to be in the snow and ice. The bone-to-mouth cold made people breathless, and even the heart was numb.

"Vomit", a muffled sound broke the ice in the office. Ryan knelt directly on the ground, aimed at the trash can next to him, and began to vomit wildly. "Vomit..." His entire stomach was overturned and he couldn't stop it.
