Chapter 52
《The movie"The Horse Whisperer" has a total of one hundred and seventy minutes.
As Martin said, this is an award-winning film, with no thought of recovering the cost from the box office.
Generally, the video tapes of such award-winning movies will sell well, and many people will buy them and collect them even if they don't watch them.
It's like when an author goes to a bookstore and sees famous books or books that have been praised by the media, he can't help but buy a set (copy), and after buying it home, he throws it in the corner to gather dust.
Therefore, it is basically not a problem for this kind of award-winning films to recover the cost, and they can still make a small fortune. Occasionally, if you get lucky, you can make a lot of money - such as"The Shawshank Redemption"》——North American video tape sales record holder.
The author has actually seen this movie, but maybe it’s not high-level enough to appreciate.
Up to now, I have almost forgotten the specific plot. I only remember the sentence:"You know, some birds are not destined to be locked in a cage. Each of their feathers shines with the brilliance of freedom."
But there are many people around. People are bragging about this movie to death. Some people have watched it twice, and some have watched it three times. Well, they all watched it as a pirated version.
In the theater, it was dark.
Only the big screen glowed.
Martin and Scarlett were sitting in the second row, enjoying the movie with their legs crossed. Suddenly, a small white hand stretched out, held Martin's hand, and scratched his palm with their fingers.
Martin smiled proudly in his heart and held Scarlett's warm little hand with his backhand. It was a little damp, but soft and comfortable to hold.
Compared with the skinny beauties in the entertainment industry, he still likes such plump beauties.
Scarlett had just mustered up the courage to reach out to Martin, and her forehead was sweating. After receiving Martin's response, she felt reassured and turned to give Martin a smile.
Martin pointed to the big screen and motioned to continue watching the movie.
But Scarlett's mind is no longer on the movie.
Thinking of her mother's words, she felt scared and nervous. Her relaxed mood increased again, and she sweated even more.
Martin squeezed Scarlett's little hand for a while and then felt something was wrong. Why did it feel (slippery) (greasy)?
So I pinched it hard a few times.
Scarlett was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She, what was wrong with her?
Why are you sweating so much?
Even she could smell the sour smell of sweat and perfume mixed with her body.
Would Martin feel sick?
Scarlett was cursing in her heart that she was not up to par; she wanted to pull her hand back, but unexpectedly, Martin grabbed her tightly and even pulled her body towards him, allowing Scarlett to press against him. Came over
"Martin, I don't know what's going on. Do you hate me?"
Scarlett nervously whispered in Martin's ear.
Martin smiled slightly, raised Scarlett's little hand in his hand, and took a gentle peck, and the smell of sweat entered his taste buds.
Then Scarlett said it again He whispered in his ear:"I don't care, just stay close to me so others won't smell it."
Suddenly, Scarlett's heart felt extremely sweet, and her eyes seemed to melt when she looked at Martin.
Martin really didn't care, and even felt that the real smell of the human body was a bit pleasant.
Just kidding, as someone in the land of gods and demons Martin has never smelled anything about the two lewd races alongside the dragons!!!
For example, the women of the goblin race that Martin once favored. In the goblin race
, most of the males are ugly and weird, but the females are all petite and beautiful.
It's just because the goblins have lived in dark and damp underground caves for a long time, so the smell on their bodies is really hard to describe.
However, Martin, who was once close, has not gone ahead and conquered countless goblin girls, leaving behind countless mixed-race descendants.
This is True Han (Succubus) Son (Demon)!!!
In the continent of gods and demons, the descendants of Succubi and Dragons are the most numerous. These two races seem to have no reproductive isolation from other races. Whoever you catch will have children. Fortunately, the demons at least still have aesthetics and will look for beautiful ones. The dragons are really vegetarian!
Martin once saw a dragon encounter a crocodile, riding on a horse. At that time, he almost lost the two To pluck out the eyeballs and throw them on the ground and stomp on them for a hundred times would be a bad eyesore!!!
So for Martin, the little bit of sweaty smell on Scarlett's body is no different from the"fresh fragrance".
You know, this But a certain NBA superstar in the future will be treated so hard that he cannot get it!!!
Scarlett has no idea what was shown in the movie after that. She only knows that her mouth has been grinning upwards involuntarily. The movie ends Afterwards, Scarlett was so dizzy that as everyone stood up and applauded, and then sat down, she almost didn't hear the director calling her to come on stage.
Thanks to Martin's reminder, she reacted.
After the premiere, Martin Invited Scarlett and his mother to have dinner together, and then said goodbye to the two. He will take the flight back to Los Angeles tomorrow. On the way home, Melanie Sloan asked her daughter in the car what she had done with Martin today. How was the contact? The conversation between the two went like this.
Melanie Sloan:"Scarlett, what did you talk about with Martin today?"
Scarlett Johansson:" Hee hee!
Melanie Sloan:"Did you meet anyone by following him?""
Scarlett Johansson:" Hee hee!
Melanie Sloan:"Is your relationship with Martin progressing?""
Scarlett Johansson:" Hee hee!"
Melanie Sloan finally saw that her daughter was crazy. It seemed that she and Martin got along well today.
So, her mood became better.
After returning to Los Angeles, Martin I went to watch the editing process of the film, and as soon as I entered the editing room, I heard Shyamalan arguing with the editor.
As the director of a blockbuster movie, Shyamalan does not have the final editing rights of the film, but for the sake of the family behind him For the sake of capital, Harvey still gave him the right to make suggestions.
Of course, the Shyamalan family was not involved in this movie, which is different from the original timeline.
Naturally, Martin will not push out the opportunities to make money. In the movie, Martin's father, Grant, invested 10 million US dollars each with the company's money and his own money, and received 40% of the investment share. The total investment in the movie was 40 million US dollars, and Miramax invested the rest. The 20 million, including resource investment, accounted for 60% of the total investment.
In the original timeline, the investment share of this film was:
Shyamalan family funds invested 10 million.
Miramax invested 15 million.Bruce Willis did not take a salary, but included his 14 million salary into the investment share, and finally received an extremely generous return. Bruce Willis received a total income of 100 million US dollars from this movie , becoming another highest-paid actor in the film industry, tied with Tom Cruise.
