In New York, in front of Little Bear Bookstore, Hearns suddenly said to Cady: "Have you heard? The movie version of "Resident Evil" has been released."
Kadi looked surprised and said: "Impossible? How long ago did this book come out? How can a movie be made so quickly?"
"I was passing by a movie theater this morning and saw a promotional poster, and it seemed to say something like this." Hanes thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps filming started before the novel was published. Isn't this kind of thing common?
"
Cady still doesn’t believe it, and why was such an important thing not publicized in the book before?
Logically speaking, since filming has started, the movie should be promoted when the new book goes on sale.
But Hanes said so, and he couldn't help but believe it.
Since Cady read Haines' book last time, the two quickly became good friends.
Although they are very different in age, they have similar interests and hobbies, so it is easy for them to play together.
"I'll invite you to watch a movie. It might be true. Anyway, there's nothing to do for a while, and there aren't any good books to read recently," Harnes suggested.
Cady thought for a moment and said, "I'll treat you today. I've also saved some pocket money recently."
Hanes has a good job and a high salary, so he is not short of money. When the two of them are together, Hanes always gives something to Cady. He feels a little embarrassed to go to Cady again and again, so he said this.
"That's okay, but I'll buy the popcorn and drinks." Hanes said with a smile.
Then the two found a nearby movie theater, Cady went to buy tickets, and Hearns went to buy popcorn.
When Cady came back from buying the tickets, Hearns stood in front of the "Groundhog Day" poster, slapping his head and saying in frustration: "I saw it wrong before, it was not the movie version of "Resident Evil", but "Resident Evil"
"A film version of another book by the author."
Cady was stunned: "YU has other books?"
Harnes shook his head and pointed to the poster in front of him: "I don't know, that's what it says anyway."
Kadi looked at the poster and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Since we are here, let's go in and take a look. It just so happens that we haven't read YU's other books."
Come, come. This sentence is applicable anywhere in the world.
Moreover, the tickets and popcorn had already been bought, so the two of them simply entered the cinema.
After entering the cinema, the two of them felt that something was not right, because the people watching the movie were all couples.
Although there are usually many couples who come to watch movies, it is rare to see such a situation like today.
Could it be that this is a love movie?
When some young lovers saw the two men coming in, they all cast friendly... and encouraging glances.
Hearns felt uncomfortable at first, but as the movie played, he gradually focused on the movie.
The beginning of the movie is very dull. The male protagonist is older, not good-looking, and very negative. As a reporter reporting on the weather, he dislikes his job very much.
It was not until later that the male protagonist started to live the same day over and over again that the story became interesting.
…
The over-an-hour movie ended quickly. After watching it, Hahns understood why all the people who came to watch the movie were lovers. It turned out that the main thread of the story was love.
He feels that whether there is love or not, it does not affect the development of the story. Of course, he can also understand that the reason why the film is centered around love is naturally for the box office.
This packed house of couples proves that without this love line, would these people still come to watch the movie? The consumption potential of singles is completely incomparable to that of couples.
"Harnes, what did you think of the movie?" Cady asked Harnes after the movie ended.
Harnes nodded, "I think it's pretty good. If it's out of five, I'd give it a four."
"I give it five points!" Cady said with a smile, "I think the love in the movie is very precious. If I can get such a love in the future, then my life will be perfect. But unfortunately, I don't have a boyfriend.
The protagonist is so lucky that he can live the same day over and over again."
Hans smiled and said, "I think you are luckier than the male protagonist. He has lived a confused life... Judging from his appearance, he must be at least forty years old. When he is forty years old, he has gone through endless cycles of life before he understands the meaning of life.
The truth, but you are different. You are still young. As long as you understand the preciousness of life from now on and face life positively, you will definitely be happier than him and gain better love than him."
Cady was thoughtful. While watching the movie, he kept thinking about what would happen if he also had such super powers. Later, when he saw the male protagonist getting love, he was just very envious and didn't think more about it.
"By the way, I just saw on the poster that the original work of this movie is called "One Day". I wonder if it is sold in bookstores."
Harnes shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, there is no one in Little Bear Bookstore or several nearby bookstores. I asked people in those stores and they found that YU only has one book."
"Okay." Cady was a little disappointed, "I always feel that a movie of more than an hour is not very satisfying. It would be great if there is a novel that I can read. I don't know if the plot of the novel is the same as the movie."
When the two of them walked out of the cinema, the conversation between a man and a woman next to them caught their attention.
The boy said to the girl: "My dear, in fact, I have passed this day hundreds of times, and I have watched this movie hundreds of times. If I want to lift this curse, I can only do it if you agree to be with me."
These two people must have just come out from watching the movie, so the boy said such things.
But the girl ignored the boy, rolled her eyes, turned around and left.
Harnes smiled and said to the boy: "Man, it looks like you are going to do it again."
The boy also smiled: "Then we'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Harnes."
After that, the boy chased the girl away.
Hanes was stunned. How could this guy know his name? Could he really...
Cady saw Hans's expression from the side and knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "When the two of us were talking just now, the man was right next to us. He should have heard me calling your name.
And he called you Mr. Haines, and your last name is not Haines."
Hearing what Cady said, Hearns reacted: "Yes, my last name is not Hearns either. Hahaha, watching this movie really has sequelae."
…
Harold felt that he also had sequelae and was trapped in a cycle. During the three days from February 13th to February 16th, the box office data he received every day was exactly the same: 6.6 million.
For three consecutive days, the box office has been 6.6 million. This is completely unreasonable. How can the box office on Saturday be the same as Sunday?
But the time on the calendar told him that all this was real and not a time loop.
The final first-week box office was set at 19.8 million.
This box office is not too high, but it is definitely enough for him to make a living.
If it is maintained well, it may even exceed 100 million. Even if the follow-up power is insufficient, 50 to 60 million should be no problem.
For a movie costing 14 million, a box office of 50 to 60 million is enough to make a small profit.
