Chapter 445
OMG didn’t refer to Omega, but a website subordinated to YAHOO . It engaged in star and celebrity gossip, and the posts there exceeded one’s imagination .
There was a group of amateur reporters who were good at uncovering the dirty laundry of the stars . They would combine clues they found in their junk and share the information with the public regularly .
The information was always about trifle things, such as the food and shopping habits of the stars, but the public was very interested in them .
Vivian logged into OMG and posted a picture of an escaping Qin Guan and a copy of her movie ticket .
The title of the post was the meaningful, "The secret hero of an indie film . "
She described the process of meeting Qin Guan at the cinema, as well as the handsomeness of the actor in real life . She added a picture of Qin Guan from VOGUE .
Everyone was really jealous of her experience . As a senior member of OMG, she got 1,000 kudos for her post in half a day .
"The film is not in theaters in my state . Is there a DVD out yet?"
"Same question . I’m interested in watching it . "
The school newspaper was already being printed . Vivian was really glad to see the replies . Although she was extremely busy, she managed to post detailed information about the film .
"Right now, the film is only in theaters in New York and Los Angeles, but you should pay attention to Netflix . There will be a DVD for rent soon . "
OMG was the largest gossip forum in America . The news spread in only one day . The power of underground movies was slowly growing . However, the official critics, which Qin Guan was focused on the most, were as silent as the suburbs in the morning .
The next day, he bought "The New York Times" on his way to college . Unfortunately, he saw nothing about "Elephant" in the movie review section .
Depressed, he was planning on asking his girlfriend to comfort him . However, he realized that everyone on campus was staring at them . Cong Nianwei smiled when she saw the school newspaper on a shelf . Qin Guan’s photo took up the whole page . He was in a military uniform, holding a gun . His beauty was unparalleled!
"Cheer for Our Handsome Qin Guan: An Indie Film . "
Cong Nianwei waved the paper at Qin Guan . "At least you are popular on campus . "
Qin Guan's supporters decided to contribute to his box office success after reading about the news .
After class, Liu came over with her girl force . "President, we just got some funding from the Chinatown small traders . It’s a special sponsorship for you . "
"A film club? What's that?"
"Why didn't you tell me about the movie? You are not loyal!" Xu finally said after restraining himself during the whole class .
"I just invited our Chinese schoolmates to watch the film in the name of the trading union . Do you know what we called this before 1949? Flattery!"
Bang! Qin Guan patted him on the back . "That’s poor Chinese of you . I’m not a Peking Opera actor!"
Xu felt wronged . "I tried my best to promote you . Everyone in Chinatown heard about the news . . . Hey, come back! I’m your sponsor . . . "
Hundreds of students from Columbia poured into the Sunshine Cinema . The ticket seller, who was used to being lazy, was now in a hurry to deal with the long queue before him .
"Two tickets for ‘Elephant’ . "
"Ten tickets for ‘Elephant’ . "
Several couples were confused by the long queue .
"What's happening? Is there a famous indie film on?"
"‘Elephant’? No idea . It must be an independent film with a limited budget . It has to be good if there’s so many people here to see it though . Shall we take a look?"
All 400 tickets were sold out soon . The long queue was not shortened though .
"What? It’s sold out for today? Tomorrow? I will be busy tomorrow . Will you add another screening?"
The manager was shocked by the crowded hall . He checked the timetable and decided to add a temporary screening .
Luckily, the long queue went into another hall . The shrewd manager called the boss to report everything to him .
"Yes, I have taken care of everyone, but there are still people coming occasionally . Yes, I’ll add two more screenings tomorrow . We have one spare theater . . . No problem!"
The screenings were doubled after the call . The film would be played for two weeks .
New York Box Office on the first day: 720 dollars
Los Angeles Box Office on the first day: 600 dollars
New York Box Office on the second day: 7,000 dollars
Los Angeles Box Office on the second day: over 800 dollars
