Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Entering the farm, everyone's mood suddenly lightened up.

Large expanses of green, patches of lakes, and the white houses against the background are particularly bright.

"The water in these small lakes can be used for drinking by livestock, and we also raise some ducks to reduce the breeding of mosquitoes and flies."

The cowboy got directly into the passenger seat and acted as a tour guide for Martin.

"This farm is about 6,500 acres. To the east of the farm is a special river channel, which is used to introduce water from the Brisbane River and supply water to the farm's people and livestock."

"Even in the dry season, there is enough water in the river channel. The four water towers are just in case. We haven't used them in many years."

"There are also these small lakes, which are a unique landscape of this farm. These lakes are naturally formed from underground water sources. We generally use them for drinking water for livestock and also stock some ducks in them."

Martin followed his hand and looked over, and sure enough he saw a group of ducks lining up and jumping happily into a lake.

"A batch of ducks were sold last month, so there are not many. The newly bought ducklings are all raising Pengli."

"There is a small forest to the west of the farm. There are some deer and rabbits in it, which can be hunted."

"There is a large vineyard to the south and a racecourse to the north.……"

When Martin and the others drove around the entire farm, an hour had passed.

"It's really big here. Gordon sighed,"The scenery is also beautiful, it's really suitable for vacation.""

"Not only is it suitable for vacation, but it can also make money. As long as this farm is properly managed, it can bring in an income of 2 million Australian dollars every year."The cowboy said proudly

"So why did the original owner sell it?"Martin was a little curious.

The cowboy sighed,"Anthony used the farm as a mortgage to bet on a mine. Unfortunately, he lost the bet, it was a poor iron mine. Alas, I tried to persuade him at that time, but he didn't listen."

Martin nodded and didn't take it seriously. If the other party didn't go bankrupt, he wouldn't have the chance to buy this place.

Then everyone went to stroll around the buildings in the manor. The decoration style of the building was a bit old, and the main building complex adopted typical English style. It is a palace architectural style, with granite and sandstone floors laid in all rooms. Walking on the spacious stone stairs, through the windows between the columns, you can admire the magnificent garden with an area of ​​​​50,000 square feet and a giant fountain. Then. , he saw the other seven cowboys in the living room. Seeing Martin come in, they stood up awkwardly one by one.

Martin used his magic to sense it a little, and they were all loyal and honest people.……

"How is it~?"

Peter Jackson asked on the way back

"I quite like it, that's it"

"How much does it cost?"

"$24 million"

"Well, it’s not expensive!"

Martin has no money now, and the cash has been spent on various investments, but he can get a loan.

In the United States, it is normal for rich people to spend bank money on shopping and investment, and banks are also happy to see their money flowing..

Back in New Zealand, Martin finally saw the trailer for"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"

"Oh my god, Martin looks so handsome."

This is the first time Gordon has seen Martin's elf appearance in a movie. He is more handsome and has an ethereal temperament than he is dressed in real life.

This is the role of the later part of the movie!

…………

"Farke! Why is the box office so low?"

Tom Cruise hung up the phone angrily.

Nicole, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, ignored her husband and read the newspaper.

Today is the second month of the release of"Pearl Harbor", and the box office trend is The sharp decline is surprising.

This war epic blockbuster, which DreamWorks has high hopes for, and cost as much as 190 million U.S. dollars to produce and promote, was originally DreamWorks’ ambition.

And the film’s first-week box office was indeed Deserving of this ambition, the North American box office figure of US$75.17 million became the highest weekly box office this year.

However, as the movie was released, its reputation declined sharply.

"Hours of predictable and corny romance, comic-like depthlessness, and a loose story that turns World War II into a symphony of stupidity"——《Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"A boring and stale love story, and even the war scenes are not handled in depth. For more than half an hour, planes bombing ships, explosions, corpses flying in the air, and people escaping from attacks are meaningless. It is just a horrific massacre that cannot move or move you. entertain the audience"——《Reviewed by Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times.

Word of mouth is just that. After all, it is just the opinion of film critics. In this Internet age, it is difficult to prevent audiences from voting with their feet.

But the film was not only unfriendly to critics, but also unfriendly to the general public.

The dull and outdated plot made the audience sleepy while watching it. (If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Just look at the reviews on the Internet and you will know:

"Don't look at it. In terms of hypnotic effect, it is definitely comparable to sleeping pills."

"I fell asleep during the boring plot and was awakened by the piercing sound of explosions. Michael Bay knows nothing but boredom and explosions."

"I can’t believe that my idol Tom Cruise made such a bad movie and his handsome face was ruined."

"boring! boring! boring! That's all I can say about this movie!"

"A bloody love triangle and a lengthy plot. Michael Bay is absolutely blown away. What about his quick editing? What about his compact plot?"

It can be said that this movie is neither artistic nor commercial!

As a result, the movie's box office suffered a huge drop in the second week, only earning more than 2.9 million US dollars. The subsequent third It dropped to more than 1.4 million US dollars in a week...

Then came the"9-year-old disaster", and the movie box office fell directly to less than 10 million.

From the release in August to the beginning of October, nearly two months have passed, and the North American box office of this movie There are only 163 million, and it is impossible to exceed 200 million.

Fortunately, the overseas box office is not bad, reaching 210 million.

However, for DreamWorks, the share of overseas box office is less than one-fifth of the North American box office. In order to obtain overseas distribution Channels, they gave up too much profit.

Calculated this way, this movie has no profit at all. If you want to recover the cost, you can only wait for a long video sales period.

《The failure of Pearl Harbor had a huge impact.

First of all, the momentum of"DreamWorks (Qian Zhaohao) Factory" to catch up with the six majors and become the seventh largest has been curbed.

Secondly, the rising momentum of director Michael Bay has also been suppressed.

Finally, there is Tom Cruise, the top Hollywood star. As an actor, Tom Cruise has never lost since he entered the industry. None of the movies he made has lost money, and"Pearl Harbor" broke this record.

Once an actor fails once, his position will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, which will also affect interests such as remuneration and sharing.

This is why Tom Cruise is so angry.

He stood up and glanced coldly at Nicole, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa."I won't be back tonight. Besides, I've had enough of your indifference."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back. door

"Haha, the little puppy went to your mommy to cry again!"

Nicole is satirizing the relationship between Tom Cruise and Shirley Lansing.
