After the movie ended, all the actors in the "Juno" crew, including the director, were warmly welcomed by many moviegoers on the spot.
Of course, Jessica Chastain, who played the heroine in the movie "Juno", enjoyed the treatment of a star.
To put it bluntly, this film is a movie about big girls!
Those little girls, and of course many boys, who are used to seeing all kinds of performances by male protagonists on the screen, welcomed Juno's bravery in the film. Jessica benefited from this.
For a moment, Jessica was the centre of attention!
"Hi, Kyle, my old friend, congratulations to you and your company for producing another masterpiece."
Pixar's Lasseter gave Kyle a big hug immediately after the film ended.
"Thank you!" Kyle was very happy.
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Kyle never gets tired of it.
Lasseter smiled and said, "Old friend, I am not here just to congratulate you. I am here with a mission from Jobs."
Hearing this, Kyle said with an expression as if he had guessed it: "You mean ICQ? Oh, what about Jobs?"
"Haha. You guessed it right."
Lasseter smiled and said, "My mission is to come here for ICQ. As for Jobs, do you think he will give you his blessing after the film is over?"
"Hahaha, you're right. It's good enough that he doesn't mock me."
Kyle had a deep understanding of Jobs' bad temper and tough talk.
Well, or rather, I hate it.
Just at this moment, Bezos also came over.
Bezos got straight to the point: "Kyle, I just found out that you are a major shareholder of ICQ. How about giving me some shares?"
"Sure."
Kyle smiled and said, "Based on our friendship, it's just a few shares of ICQ. I'll give it to you if you want. But you have to exchange it for Amazon shares."
Exchange of shares?!
"Impossible~!"
Bezos was quite happy at first, but now he seemed to be stepping on the tail. He shouted at Kyle: "Don't even think about Amazon shares."
"Oh?" Kyle asked amusedly.
Bezos left angrily.
Kyle didn't care.
He also didn't expect to be able to buy Amazon shares with just a few words.
However, Kyle had a hunch that Bezos would be interested. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see the potential of "instant messaging" such as ICQ.
If it is possible to exchange ICQ shares for Amazon shares, Kyle will agree.
Man, that's Amazon!
It is one of the only three large companies in the world with a future market value of more than 1.3 trillion US dollars; its single stock will exceed 2,000 US dollars in 2020. Of course, even if he wants to exchange shares, Kyle will not do it when ICQ has not yet developed. At least it must reach tens of millions of users, otherwise it will be a big loss.
"My old friend, please give me a definite answer so that I can explain it to Jobs when I get back."
Lasseter said.
Kyle waved his hand and said, "John, you should let Jobs talk to me. And remember to tell him that I am also very interested in Pixar's shares."
"Okay, I'll take your words to you."
After Lasseter finished speaking, he also stood up and left the theatre.
In the future, ICQ's peak market value will be just over $600 million, while Pixar was acquired by Disney for $7.4 billion in 2006. Therefore, Kyle would be happy to accept Pixar's shares.
After the premiere, Kyle immediately sent his girlfriend Lima home, and then he sneaked to a hotel.
Well, go find Jessica Chastain, who was very impressive.
...
....
Three days later.
Page Pictures has been busy all day today.
Today is the day when the movie "Juno" officially lands in major theatres in North America.
Victor clapped his hands and shouted, "Guys, get moving! Today is our big day. The movie Juno has officially been released. Your job is very important. That is to pay attention to the box office data and theatre attendance. At the same time, pay close attention to the media and the Internet sector. Don't let the popularity of the movie decline!"
"Yes~!"
Many employees responded loudly immediately.
The movie "Juno" is a sensitive topic about youth culture. The unmarried pregnancy shown in the movie will inevitably be criticised by many moralists. If the comments cannot be suppressed, the box office data will inevitably be far below expectations.
Of course, if the controversy can lead to a topic of social discussion, it will greatly boost the box office of the film.
It was just as expected.
At 9 a.m., Los Angeles Entertainment News was the first to comment on the film.
And it's a slamming comment!
The Los Angeles Entertainment News said: "Another rubbish movie is released! The theme of underage pregnancy before marriage promoted in the movie "Juno" will attract many teenagers to follow suit. It is a cancer in the movie! It should not appear in the cinema. No, it should not exist in this world!"
"Haha~!"
When Victor, the CEO, saw this report, he was overjoyed on the spot.
Victor shouted, "Martha, call the California Herald right now and ask them to follow the plan and send out the prepared commentary immediately!"
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Sister Martha left quickly to carry out the order.
Victor was prepared for the critical reviews of Juno.
"Targeted criticism comments cannot be without supporting remarks, otherwise how can they arouse topics and generate heat?" Victor shook his head and chuckled.
Soon.
The California Herald, which received the money, urgently added a supplement to its newspaper in less than ten minutes.
The article stated: "The movie Juno contains positive elements about the personality, family, friendship and other aspects of minors. We cannot erase nature, nor can we turn a blind eye to the problems of minors that exist in the United States. We should face it!"
The article ends by adding: "If you are a parent, I think you should watch Juno, which will give you a better understanding of the minds of today's teenagers."
In the following period, various media outlets continued to issue comments and reports.
Of course, there are many articles criticising and boycotting;
However, there are also voices of support. Some of them are paid;
Well, it is also possible that many media outlets are just trying to take advantage of the popularity.
As long as they can make money, many American media and newspapers don't care about moral integrity. Their butts are all crooked! As long as they can make money, they don't mind abandoning Jesus and turning to Satan.
Compared with them, Kyle sometimes felt like a saint.
I have to say that Page Pictures was excellent on this day.
Under Victor's leadership, they constantly contacted the media newspapers and stirred up trouble on the Internet to hype up the topic of "Juno".
The results are remarkable.
As of 8 p.m. that day, the movie "Juno" had already earned $19.5 million in North America, ranking first on the day's box office list.
As for "Space Jam" starring the old rogue Jordan, even though many basketball fans were supporting it, it was still severely suppressed. As of 8 o'clock, it had only closed at the box office with a billion US dollars.
"Guys, don't let up!"
Victor encouraged everyone, "As long as we keep holding on, our Juno will earn more than $28 million on its premiere day!"
Number one at the box office that day!
This fantastic result gave everyone at page Pictures a ton of enthusiasm!
As for Kyle, haha, he left all the matters concerning the film to Victor and he went to Silicon Valley.
I'll also be online on time at 8 o'clock tonight.
