Chapter 352: The Twilight City

Hilton Hotel, Presidential Suite.

From the door to the living room, there are scattered clothes and shoes, but if you open the door, you can see a different scene.

Inside, it seems like an endless prairie.

I saw a strong man riding a green white horse galloping across the endless grassland.

This white horse seemed to be a Ferghana horse. After running for a while, its white skin had turned slightly red. It made a loud cry while running.

The man driving the horse seemed not satisfied with the current speed. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly and charged forward quickly. The horse was stimulated and made a louder and louder sound, but it also ran faster and faster.

After running quickly for more than three minutes, the man perhaps felt that the horse's voice was getting hoarse, so he began to slow down.

In this way, sometimes running fast, sometimes walking slowly, the man also roughly understood the capabilities of this Arabian horse.

At this moment, the man suddenly felt something and his expression suddenly became solemn. He rode the white horse and galloped away again, even faster than before.

The man didn't care about the hoarseness of the horse and kept sprinting forward as if he was in a horse race.

Until one moment, as if reaching the finish line, the man couldn't help but let out a low growl, then grabbed the horse's golden mane with his hands, and couldn't help pulling it back.

The horse held its head high, its front hooves off the ground, and at the same time let out the loudest cry.

The man seemed to have exhausted all his strength at this time, and lay on the horse's back tiredly.

The horse seemed to be tired from running, and stayed where it was, panting.

……

The next day, just after dawn, Liu Zhou was awakened by the sound of Kristen Stewart getting up.

Liu Zhou couldn't help rubbing his eyes and said:

"Why did you get up so early?"

"I also want to sleep until I wake up naturally, but I have to go on a promotional trip today. Why don't you talk to Mr. Edwards and ask for leave for me?"

"I'll ask him to send you a set of clothes. You can't wear this one anymore."

Hearing Liu Zhou's words, Kristen Stewart couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Liu Zhou pretended not to see Christine's look, stood up, made a phone call, and asked someone to send over a set of clothes.

Of course he couldn't call Anthony Edwards to send it. He was the president of Summit Entertainment. Liu Zhou would be a fool to let him do such a thing so early in the morning.

This is so disrespectful.

Liu Zhou just called the hotel staff. He was staying in the presidential suite, which had a dedicated butler. His purpose was to help solve various trivial matters for the customers.

As for asking for leave for Kristen Stewart, that is even more impossible.

It's not that Liu Zhou is ruthless. The Twilight Saga originally had a bunch of newcomers, and the only one with some fame was Kristen. If she is gone, what is there to promote?

Although Kristen Stewart is only eighteen years old, she has been in the entertainment industry for eight years. She is a famous child star in Hollywood and a rare child star who has not grown up ugly.

She has been in Hollywood for many years since she was a child, and her experience is much richer than her peers, and she knows more about the operating rules of Hollywood.

So after meeting Liu Zhou, Kristen Stewart decisively seized the opportunity.

She usually can't get close to Hollywood bigwigs like Liu Zhou who can interact with the presidents of the Big Seven on an equal footing.

This was a rare opportunity to get close to someone like this, so she certainly wouldn't let it slip away.

What's more, Liu Zhou is not that fat and greasy middle-aged man, but a handsome and wealthy young man, who is not offensive at all.

She even thought about whether she could catch this person since she was young and beautiful now.

If she really finds a boyfriend like Liu Zhou who is rich and powerful in Hollywood, her acting career will definitely be smooth sailing.

However, Liu Zhou refused my request for leave without hesitation and would rather let me participate in the promotional activities than stay here with him.

Christine also realized that she couldn't catch this man, and he had no intention of treating her as a female companion.

Although she felt a little disappointed, this was a fantasy that she shouldn't have had, so Christine immediately put aside the disappointment.

After washing and getting ready, Christine was about to go out when she was stopped by Liu Zhou.

"Kristen, Summit Entertainment will have many projects in the future, and we can cooperate frequently then."

“Of course, it’s an honor to work with Summit Entertainment.”

A smile appeared on Christine's face. She knew that this was a promise made to herself and also a reward for last night.

But isn’t this your purpose?

Now the goal has been achieved. For Hollywood film company bosses like Liu Zhou, even if a little bit of resources is leaked, it is enough to feed themselves.

And it seemed that she did not lose out. She had gained a rare experience last night, which she still had in mind.

After Christine left, Liu Zhou continued to take a nap.

He was a little tired last night. He rode the horse back and forth on the grassland three times.

No wonder boys always like 18-year-old girls. Young girls really give people a very fresh experience. So Leo is more sober and understood this truth early on. He is very specific in looking for a girlfriend, and only looks for 18-year-old models.

While Liu Zhou was taking a nap, the promotion of "Twilight" was completely launched.

Although the media invited to attend the premiere had a lot to complain about the movie, they had received their money, so even if they wanted to complain, they had to hold it in.

Finally, he racked his brains and spent a long time writing a report praising the movie and published it.

So the next day, promotional releases about "Twilight" appeared in major cities across the United States.

In fact, it’s not that “Twilight” is completely unknown. The novel of the same name is now very popular in North America.

Therefore, "Twilight" has also accumulated a lot of book fans.

Now that the Twilight movie is about to be released, it has immediately attracted their attention.

After two days of extensive promotion, "Twilight" was released in 2150 theaters in North America on April th.

At this time, Liu Zhou also came to the Summit Entertainment headquarters and waited for the movie's first day box office results with Anthony Edwards.

Although he knew that "Twilight" would not fail, Liu Zhou still changed some things after all.

This movie was originally scheduled to be released at the end of last year, but was postponed until now.

Liu Zhou didn't know whether it would have any impact on the movie, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, "Twilight" is still "Twilight" and will not be affected by the change in release time.

Liu Zhou and Anthony Edwards didn't have to wait too long, and soon they received the first day box office data of "Twilight".

Nineteen million eight hundred dollars!

This result would definitely not be good enough if it were put in the summer season, but if it were put in other seasons, this result would be considered very good.

With a first-day box office of nearly 20 million, if the movie doesn't collapse in the later stages, there is a high possibility that the box office will even exceed 100 million.

When Anthony Edwards saw the result, his nervousness disappeared and was replaced by a bright smile.

“Haha, Boss, you have a good eye. I didn’t expect that Twilight would have such a great start.

After the premiere, looking at the disgusted looks on the faces of the guests and reporters, I was still worried that the movie would fail.

If it really fails, then our Summit Entertainment's grand premiere will become the laughing stock of the entire Hollywood.

I think there must be a lot of people waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves, but now they don’t have that chance.”

"Don't be too happy too soon, it's only the first day of the show."

"I saw from the questionnaires collected that less than 20% complained about the movie being bad, which shows that Twilight has a pretty good reputation and should not fall apart in the future."

"I hope so. We should also keep up with the subsequent publicity, and even increase the publicity budget."

"Don't worry Boss, we have already made a plan."

"Okay, then I'll go back first and wait for your good news."

After saying that, Liu Zhou also left the Summit Entertainment headquarters and returned to his hotel.

After seeing the first-day performance of "Twilight", Liu Zhou knew it was a sure win. All his worries disappeared immediately and he just waited for the subsequent performance of the movie to shock everyone.

And some media and colleagues are indeed waiting to see Summit Entertainment make a fool of itself, just as Anthony Edwards expected.

However, when they saw the first-day box office performance of "Twilight", they were a little surprised, but then they didn't take it too seriously.

In their opinion, this may be the box office revenue contributed by fans of "Twilight", and its box office revenue will definitely fall later.

But the subsequent box office performance of "Twilight" directly slapped them in the face.

After taking in 19.8 million on the first day, the film grossed 23 million on the second day and 28 million on the third day.

In the first three days of the weekend, the film grossed a total of 71 million US dollars.

This directly shocked the entire Hollywood.

At the same time, it also made those who wanted to see Summit Entertainment make jokes with their jaws dropping.

This is simply unscientific!
How come so many people like such a melodramatic love movie?
Even though "Twilight" is covered with a vampire setting, it is still a melodramatic love story, right?
However, after being shocked and puzzled, these people also conducted a detailed study of "Twilight", wondering why such a movie could be so popular.

In fact, not only these people, but also the outstanding box office performance of "Twilight" in the first three days of the weekend also attracted the attention of the seven major Hollywood movies.

Greg Serfman, in particular, watched the movie himself and felt that the movie had no selling points other than the popularity of the novel of the same name.

But such a movie, which he thought had no selling points, became a hit. While he was puzzled, he also asked the people below to analyze the reasons.

Of course, the most shocked were those media outlets that were previously thought to have been unscrupulously touting "Twilight".

Now that Twilight is a big hit at the box office, they are bragging even more.

Were they acting against their conscience before?
No, it’s excellent vision!
They discovered the potential of this film early on.

With the spontaneous promotion by these media and the more vigorous promotion by Summit Entertainment, the popularity of "Twilight" has continued to rise.
