9days ago Urban Novels 8
With the arrival of July, the temperature in London has also begun to climb to the highest peak of the year, but even so, the highest temperature is only 72 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be said to be quite pleasant.

Except for the cooler weather in the morning and evening, you need to wear a jacket, and you are very casual at other times. Just take care of carrying an umbrella to prevent any showers that may come at any time.

In addition, July also indicates the arrival of various peak seasons, including travel, fashion, entertainment, etc. Businessmen are doing their best to promote themselves, hoping to attract more attention.

However, in the film market, many movies that were originally scheduled to be released on July 1st have quietly changed schedules, because a movie was also released on this day "Terminator 2"!

Before this, the publisher successfully made people curious about this movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan through various publicity. The liquid metal robot T-1000 in the trailer also surprised many people who like visual effects. Moreover, "Terminator" produced by Cameron also cultivated many movie fans, so he won more than 30 million in North America in the first week, and the total box office in one week reached 60 million!

Many critics were shocked by the movie, both in the plot and visual effects, and some even pointed out that the scenes of the T-1000 slowly walked out of the explosion scene had an impact on the film industry as much as those of "Star Wars" in 1977.

Regardless of whether this statement is exaggerated or not, the released "Terminator 2" has indeed attracted countless people's attention in the shortest time.

In this movie, you can see a lot of things, a slight mockery of industrial civilization, a solemn film atmosphere that appears to be due to the addition of religious atmosphere and an alternative father-son relationship. The director always controls the rhythm of the movie well, both fast and slow, but attracts the audience's attention at all times.The actor's performance is also very outstanding, Linda shows a feminist color, and Edward, who is only 14 years old, is perfect. In addition, congratulations to Arnold, he finally found the right way to perform.Of course, there is also Robert, the scene where the T-1000 came out of the fire will inevitably leave a lot of marks in film history!

This is part of the film review written by a critic in the New York Times column, and you can imagine how shocking Terminator 2 is.

Therefore, after the second week of release, the total box office in North America was barely over 100 million!

Remember what I told you, Lavern?This movie will set off a craze all over the world.

Adrian, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, said holding the phone and although he is now in London and "Terminator 2" will be released in the UK for a while, he is still paying attention to the situation of the movie.

This is indeed an excellent movie, but it cannot explain much at the moment.

Lavern's voice remained calm.

It is his characteristic and advantage of being steady, not fast or slow, and being able to maintain a good attitude under any circumstances.

Indeed, for any movie, a box office of over 100 million in two weeks is a thing worth celebrating. Except for "Terminator 2", the investment in this movie is unprecedented at present.

According to the box office sharing regulations, if the box office cannot exceed 200 million, then the loss is certain.

Adrian did not make any excuses, and said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

To be honest, he really wanted to go to the cinema to watch this movie as soon as possible. The additional 10 million investment was not wasted. Before he arrived in London, he had seen the enhanced T-1000 CG in Cameron's studio, which was indeed a bit different from what he remembered. Adrian wanted to know if it would look more perfect and shocking if he watched it on the big screen.

But it doesn't matter. This movie will be released in the UK in about half a month, and it will not be too late to watch it.

Speaking of which, that guy Cameron is really good at burning money. Although he seemed to be satisfied after getting the 10 million investment, Adrian knew that this guy was planning to invest more in private.

Crazy guy, but it was this crazy guy who dared to burn out "Titanic" for $2.4 billion in the mid-1990s.

Although "Terminator 2" opened the CG era of movies and "Jurassic Park" carried it forward, the trend of high investment production began with "Titanic".

So, this guy should also be in his hands.Adrian murmured to himself.

Then, his ears hurt and he saw little Emma looking at him angrily and with a little aggrieved.

OK, what?

Adrian asked helplessly. More than a month has passed since the disaster-like accident. The little girl seemed to have walked out of the haze. Not only did she smile a lot, but she also communicated with others relatively smoothly. Sometimes she was no different from an ordinary child over one year old.

Sometimes it is because she still has to stay with Adrian. Even if she doesn't need him to take a bath or go to the bathroom, she will still be uneasy and panic if she leaves him for too long.

Moreover, her feelings about Kate have hardly changed, and she is still repulsive, no matter how hard the other party works to please her.

Origami!The little girl raised the thing in her hand and spit out a few simple words from her mouth, Frog.

Already ready?Ha, Emma, ​​you are so smart.Adrian took the frog origami from her hand and looked at it, then held it in his hand and waved it to Kate, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side.

Kate, who was paying attention to the two of them, rolled his eyes to Adrian, lowered his head without saying anything and continued reading.

It's really that beautiful?Adrian couldn't help asking.

Of course, this is Resident Evil.Kate smiled half-tearful and half-taught.

The novel "Resident Evil" was officially published in late June. Because the language used was the same, the British version was soon launched in London. Apart from that, only the Japanese version enjoyed such treatment.

After all, Adrian's motivation for writing this novel was to want a little disgusting Japanese.

Of course, Adrian's explanation for this is that aren't the Japanese interested in zombie novels too?You can try it out in small quantities. Although the publishing company felt it was strange, it still did it.

It's just the sales volume of this novel...

It was really unsatisfactory. The first batch of printed products was pretty good. The 300,000 copies sold for about 200,000 copies, but the publishing company printed 100,000 copies and then couldn't sell them.

Although it is quite profitable, it is not much.

You should know that in order to enrich the content, Adrian deliberately combined the plots of "Resident Evil 1" and "Resident Evil 0" into a book. The plot after the refinement is relatively more impressive, but he did not expect that the sales were so average. Of course, this has nothing to do with Adrian's pseudonym. Otherwise, the gimmick of the first science fiction novel directed by the newly-promoted genius would attract enough attention.

Even if he was dissatisfied, Adrian didn't say much. What made "Resident Evil" successful was the game. It was already very good that the adapted novel had such sales, and he was not short of this little money.

As for the second-rate writer Ben Arnte who co-wrote with him or wrote for him, he had no objection. The royalties he received were not less than before.

The publishing company had no objection, and their business was in jeopardy when it was acquired. Although "Resident Evil" did not make a big profit, it at least stabilized the situation. Coupled with the injection of new funds, it is foreseeable to cheer up again.

But I want to read another book.Kate's voice suddenly changed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I wonder when I could see it?

That Ah will not last long, and it should be more exciting than Resident Evil, I promise.Adrian couldn't help laughing, and then he felt Emma pulling the corner of his clothes.

Ed!The little girl in her arms raised her hands and pouted, "Take a shower!"

Got to take a shower?OK... Adrian looked into the corridor, Ms. Marsen, the little guy is going to take a shower.

No!you!Emma shouted hurriedly, and looked at Kate with an unhappy look.

Hey, obedient, Emma, ​​we said OK.Adrian did not compromise. After Ms. Marsen came, he picked up the little girl and handed it to her.

OK, Emma, ​​it won't be too long.Marsen comforted the little guy, you will see Ed soon.

Although reluctant, although he had been looking at Adrian, Emma was still taken away.

How about being fascinated by people, Ed?Kate sighed faintly.

very nice.Adrian, who watched the little guy leave, finally turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Kate snorted softly, got up and walked towards the other end of the corridor, and Adrian shrugged and followed her.

Pushing open the door of the study, the two walked in one after another, and then hugged each other without saying anything, hugging each other and kissing each other fiercely.

Their tongues were entangled with fiery entwined, and their hands were comforting each other's bodies. From one side to another, the creaking sounds came one after another.

Finally, Kate, who sat on the table, clamped his slender legs against Adrian's waist. Adrian then pushed his waist hard and began to exercise vigorously.

All kinds of unscrupulous voices echoed in the study, and the accumulated enthusiasm was vented at this moment.

After a long time, the continuous tremor of the body ended, and the two of them calmed down in the breath.

It's really a hell. Now, every time we do things, we have to take advantage of the situation, as if we can't meet people.Kate, who held Adrian and didn't let go, complained in a tired voice.

There is no way, Emma is very tangled, and I can't ignore her.

Adrian kissed her face tenderly, OK, this situation will improve soon, right? Did you say that the California Institute of Art has approved the application?After the matter here is over, we will go back to Los Angeles together, and you can do whatever you want.

Just know this!Facing the teasing Adrian, Kate hummed and spat, and suddenly used force again with his legs that had not been released. Is there still time, do you want to do it again?

Adrian raised his eyebrows: As you wish.

Then the previous various sounds quickly rang again.
