Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

After participating in "Ellen Show", Chen Ergou participated in another NBC pillar "Fat Lun Tonight Show" and "Chicken Feather Show" non-stop.

Fei Lunxiu's star talk show is not limited to sitting down and chatting, but also sets up many small games. Compared with talking about the life stories that the stars have told countless times, it can better show the natural reaction and true character of the stars.

Fei Lun has a gentle style and likes to laugh. Looking at his round face will not make you feel bad. This time was no exception, he played a table tennis game with Chen Ergou.

Americans certainly don’t know how to play table tennis with Chinese people, so they invented a party game beerpong (ping pong beer) with fried chicken (wu) to play (liao), and it became popular all over the United States…

This game became popular in the fraternities of American universities from 1950 to 1960, and it was the standard for young people to hold parties. The gameplay is very simple. On a rectangular table, put some plastic cups filled with beer on each side, and arrange the plastic cups on both sides into a triangle.

Divide into two teams, and take turns throwing ping-pong balls at the opponent's plastic cup. You can throw it directly into the cup, or you can bounce it into the cup... If the throw hits, the opponent has to drink up the glass of wine and take down the cup. until the cup is taken away. The loser must drink all the wine left by the other party~

Play it not only at parties, but also at weddings...

To be honest, Xiao Tan felt that the ping pong ball was rolling around, and it was thrown into the wine, and the wine had to be drunk... Is it really not too dirty?

So Chen Ergou didn't release the water at all, and retreated ten meters away and missed a ball. He didn't know how he was doing, but he had a good time anyway, but in the end Fei Lun emphasized with a beerpong, "I'm afraid no one will play beerpong games with you again...beerpong!"

"Chicken Feather Show" is a talk show on ABC TV, so it's not bad to be able to grab a promotional slot. This time, no one played games with him, and he was a little confused about the humorous jokes of Americans. He translated two jokes by Teacher Guo, but he didn’t know if the audience could understand them. Fortunately, there were many audiences in the audience. Laugh again and again.

Just let it go.

A series of publicity, temporarily come to an end.

He didn't know how effective the publicity was, but the video on Allen's show was very popular. The magical flying knife can be regarded as completely calming the Yankees. On the contrary, domestic interest in his first American talk show tour is more than that of the United States. Countless netizens spontaneously searched for his American talk show videos on the Internet, and the translated version quickly spread on the Internet, attracting countless fans to cheer.

Fans also enthusiastically canonized several new nicknames for him, such as "Xiao Chen Fei Dao", "Puppy Flying Dao", "Game Master", etc., to choose from.

More people are talking about his relationship with Taylor Swift, is there really a scandal?

And thanks to this round of publicity, many viewers were attracted into the theater!

So, when the new North American box office rankings were announced, Chen Ergou could finally feel at ease.

500 theaters, three days on the weekend, "Barbosa" once again won a box office of 8.85 million US dollars, not only successfully reached the fifth place in the weekend box office list in North America, but also won the highest box office of last weekend with a single-house box office of more than 17,700 US dollars. Good single-house box office results. Ranked fourth is "Kung Fu Dream", which was released for three weeks, with US$15 million, and "Toy Story 3", which was released for two weeks, was at the top of the list with US$59 million.

Even if God comes down at this time, it can't stop Warner from expanding the scale of publicity and screenings to reap more benefits. Starting the next week, "Barbosa" was officially released in North American theaters. In the second week, Warner finally expanded the number of theaters for "Barbosa" to 2,800 theaters, and the name of the film spread throughout North America.

The score on imdb is 8.5, and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes is 90%. These data all prove the potential of the film.

It can be said that after a long accumulation of test screenings, on-demand screenings, and small-scale screenings, and with the full support of Warner, "Barbosa" is like a golden film covered in sand on the beach. Same,

Finally ushered in the cleansing of the lead, ushered in a big explosion.

Chen Ergou, who had nothing to do at first, suddenly became busy, like a wooden man who was arranged to do various publicity. He never knew that there was also a road show for the promotion of the film's release in the United States. Everywhere I went, there were huge crowds of fans asking for autographs, "Do they all recognize me?"

"Or are they all fans of Wild Eater, lovers of extreme sports? There are too many."

But all the efforts are worthwhile, he has 20% of the box office share in the global box office except China. In the first four working days of the new week, "Barbossa" earned a box office of 24 million US dollars, second only to "Twilight 3" and Sony's new film "The Last Airbender". In the three days of this weekend, it once again achieved a box office of 35.05 million US dollars, and won the No. 1 spot on the weekend box office list among the powerful.

The cumulative North American box office of the film has also exceeded 72.8 million U.S. dollars. As an adventure documentary with a Chinese protagonist, it can be called a dark horse in this strong summer file. Authoritative organizations predict that the final North American box office will be around 130 million.

Everyone knows that its cost is low, it's just a drone shooting, and Chen Ergou has already won 500 million US dollars with his treasure. Now it seems that the value of this treasure house has not been completely squeezed out.

Warner Bros.'s next movie is about to start its global release journey.

It is worth mentioning that the song "vitory" from the film suddenly reached the 23rd place on the billboard, and the ranking is still rising. Suddenly it became popular, and someone suggested that the song be sung at the NBA All-Star Game.

Chen Ergou was finally no longer neglected, and party invitations were piled up on Downey's desk. This made him extremely resentful, "Boss, it's time for you to find an assistant or agent, I also have a lot of jobs."

"Anyone in touch?"

"Caa, wma, and icm have all been contacted, do you want me to find out for you?" Downey handed over the information of several agents.

Chen Ergou checked for a while and found that he didn't remember any of them. He asked, "I heard that CAA is the best at packing services?"

"Boss, in fact, the three brokerage companies are all good at packaged services, but it was caa who first proposed it."

"Okay, you can contact me first and find out how powerful these people are in the brokerage company. Then help me book a plane ticket for tomorrow, I want to go back to China."

"The ticket has been booked, but tonight at Warner's party, I suggest you go to it once."

"What party do I have to go to?" Chen Ergou curiously took a look at the invitation, and found that it was invited by Kevin. The party was a warm-up dinner before the premiere of "Foundation Laying". "...Go to hell!"

After swearing, he threw away the invitation letter. After thinking about it, he picked it up and stuffed it back into his pocket, "Before I leave, there are still a few things that need to be arranged, please make a note."

Downey stopped laughing when he heard the words, picked up his notebook and listened carefully.

Most of the time, this boss is very talkative, but he is too authoritarian. Once he is convinced of something, he will be a little bit unreasonable. It seems that he listens to the advice, but in fact there is no room for other people to refute it. Being as smart as him means never disobeying him.

Chen Ergou walked to the window, pinched his chin and thought for a long time.

Now that he came to the United States, he had a place to stay, and the company he had been planning to acquire was finally completed. This company named Kang Jiali was previously an independent production company engaged in film and television production. Since its establishment, it has been making some literary films underground in the United States to distribute CDs for profit.

The acquisition process went as smoothly as expected.

There are such small companies all over the United States. He doesn't need too many resources in the company, as long as he can have a basic publicity and production department, it doesn't cost much, and he can complete the premium acquisition for five million US dollars. The reason for choosing this company is also because its address is also located in Silicon Valley, not far from the Reservoir Dogs game company, and the company address of what’sapp is also at the other end.

Now the company has changed its name to "Reservoir Dogs Entertainment Company" and currently has thirty-five employees. Downey has been temporarily appointed as the general manager and is looking for a suitable professional manager to take over.

The boss of the company has changed, and he is still a rich Chinese who is getting rich, and the employees are all worried.

The U.S. economy has been stagnant in recent years, and no one wants to go out to find a job. Facts have proved that their worry is very necessary. As soon as Chen Ergou arrived, he quickly set up a network technology department, and the first order he received was to release an app social software called "Instagram".

"This...they are not familiar with it at all. It's too unprofessional. Do you want to transform into an IT company in the future?"

Fortunately, the boss also knew about the situation, and specially hired two IT talents with high salaries from Silicon Valley, and Tony and Andy were in charge of managing it.

Instagram just happened to be the right time, and Chen Ergou had this idea when he participated in the what'sapp project. What's more, instagram is still under development and has not been listed yet.

The development of this product is extremely simple. In my memory, there is no marketing at all after the ins is logged into the appstore, and the number of users has grown rapidly in just one week. Subsequently, users quickly covered more than 50 countries and established more than 700 online communities.

Until it was acquired by fb, the company had only 13 employees.

Chen Ergou didn't know how different his world was from his dream world. During his time in the United States, he also discovered many specious memories. Some have happened, some have not yet happened, he knows, these are chances. Originally, he just wanted to come to the United States to earn a wife's income, but seeing so many opportunities, how could he turn a blind eye.

If the sky and the sky are not taken, you will be blamed; if the time is not welcome, you will be blamed instead.

This is a clear opportunity, and it only needs to move hands.

It's not just Instagram, such as the copyright acquisition plan that is currently on Downey's shore. The most obvious one is that the copyright of the novel "The Hunger Games" is being competed by Lionsgate Films and Summit Entertainment, and no conclusion has been reached yet.

At the beginning of the period, Chen Ergou was quite surprised, but after understanding what happened, he felt normal again. Because "Twilight" became popular in the market of youth movies, almost all popular novels on the market were asked about the price, but not everyone has his forward-looking vision, and it is normal to be able to recognize gold and jade at a glance. of.

This gave him the opportunity to step in.

The sky was gloomy, Chen Ergou drove straight to Warner's party venue, and was surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he arrived at the door. He put on his sunglasses and walked in as soon as he lowered his head.

"Are you the hero-hen of Barbossa? The movie is wonderful!"

Although such a question would make people a little embarrassed, Chen Ergou nodded politely, "Yes, thank you for your support for the movie."

As a reporter for the "Los Angeles Times", Ayman Arthur did not gather around tonight's party protagonists Leonardo, Christopher and others to inquire about news. But everyone flocked to watch, how to highlight the exclusivity of the news. The good reputation of "Barbosa" made Chen Ergou's exposure rate not low during this period, but most Americans don't know much about this young man.

From the far east, his abilities are like a mystery, and there are too many things waiting for people to unravel.

"Hi, Mr. Chen, I'm Ayman, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, can I ask you a few questions?"

Chen Ergou looked around and handed over a few more microphones, hesitating for a moment or nodding, "Only for movies."

Aiman ​​paused, and asked: "An authoritative organization predicts that the North American box office of "Barbosa" will exceed 130 million. When do you think it will exceed 100 million?"

"Looking at the American audience, if you support it, it will be very fast. If you get tired of seeing my face, it will be indefinitely. I think next weekend should be almost the same."

"next weekend?"

"Yes."

Very confident Chinese.

However, he already has hundreds of millions of dollars in his hands and has a lot of money. And now that the word-of-mouth situation of "The Barbossa" is very good, there is no reason for him not to have such confidence.

"I heard that you bought an entertainment company with the $5 million you won Taylor. Will you develop in Hollywood in the future?"

"China's development is getting better and better, and I still want to go back to China. As for the money to acquire the company, it's not about Taylor's business. It's just a joke. It just happened to meet a suitable project and needed to acquire a company. I didn't think so much." Someone greeted him, and he was about to take his leave. Aiman ​​quickly asked: "How soon can we see your next work?"

"The next work?"

Chen Ergou paused, then turned around and said, "Maybe we will see it soon."
