After the Christmas Eve class, the five-day Christmas break began.

And the box office of "The Sixth Sense" is growing by leaps and bounds during this Christmas holiday.

Wonderful movie plots, excellent actors, and no opponents in the same period, in this case, there are long queues in cinemas in many places to buy tickets.

Some theater owners even compared the film to Spielberg's masterpiece "Saving Private Ryan", which was released in July.

After the first three days, the film's North American box office was frozen at nearly 29.7 million US dollars.

This is a very high number, you must know that the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" in the first three days is only 30.5 million US dollars, and the investment amount of the two is not of the same magnitude.

One is $40 million, and the other is $70 million.

What's even more amazing is that the box office drop of the film is almost negligible throughout the Christmas holidays, and after a total of six days, the box office reached 54.4 million US dollars, which is even better than "Saving Private Ryan".

For a time, the praise for Martin was overwhelming.

In Hollywood, there are two very different attitudes towards child stars and adult actors, and as soon as a child accomplishes something that only an adult can do, the praise will flood the world.

If the performance is even a little better, then the name "genius" will definitely be on his head.

Martin's performance was not just a little better.21

If Martin is just ordinary children whose minds are not yet mature, these praises and praises often become poison that corrodes their minds, and if they encounter the kind of selfish parents who only know how to use their children to make money, then the future of these children can only be described as sad.

But Martin won't, as a succubus who has lived for thousands of years, he is much, much more mature than those adults.

The "child's appearance" is just his "skin".

With the screening of the movie, Martin's acting skills have been more and more recognized, and the box office of "The Sixth Sense", which has been called "the most scary and warm movie" by the media, is also climbing.

Its weekly decline is so low that it even reminds people of "Titanic".

Is it another big ship?

Harvey Weinstein was pounding his chest in his office, "40%, that's 40% of the share, I'm going to lose hundreds of millions in the future, I'm stupid, really!"

On the contrary, his younger brother Bob was a little more accepting of this, "Harvey, you have to figure it out, the script of the movie was written by Martin, the soundtrack was written by Martin, and his superb performance is one of the reasons why the box office is so good, we can't leave him." "

"Martin is no ordinary child, and his parents are not fools who can only see the immediate benefits, and they are not those who can deal with them by common means. "

"And, you forgot what you said, Martin is a gold mine, and we need to maintain a good relationship with him. "

Harvey stopped talking and walked to his desk.

"What are you going to do?" asked Bob curiously.

"Of course, call Martin, praise him, praise him, pat him on the back, I want to be his loyal partner!"

Harvey said as a matter of course, as if the irascible guy just now wasn't him.

In the evening of this day, at the door of a relatively secluded movie theater, two old guys wearing masks walked into the movie theater.

Not far behind the two, there were three strong men in suits.

Entering the screening room, the two old men chose to sit in the last row, and the three men in suits also sat down separately around the two, not far away.

One of the old men took off his mask, revealing his gray beard, and complained to the other old man who was still wearing a mask:

"Steven, what are you doing? You have to drag me sneakily to watch a horror movie, what's so special about this movie?"

If there are people who are familiar with the film industry here, I am afraid to exclaim.

Because this old guy who took off his mask is none other than the famous Hollywood director, billionaire - George Lucas.

Speaking of this George Lucas, let's give a good introduction, it's not the author Jun Shui, it's really this person's experience is too special.

George Lucas was born in a small California town called Modesto and is a typical small-town youth.

His father runs a stationery store, and his biggest wish is that Lucas's mother's frail health will recover as soon as possible, and his son Lucas will inherit his own shop in the future.

But when George Lucas grew up, he became madly obsessed with racing.

One night in 1962, three days before he graduated from high school, George Lucas was speeding down the highway in his Fiat.

Suddenly, a Chevrolet Antelope passed by, and the driver was his classmate, who glanced at Lucas proudly when overtaking.

How could the young and vigorous Lucas be willing to chase after others with one foot on the accelerator. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, tragedy struck when Fiat lost control and crashed into a tree on the side of the road.

George Lucas was rushed to a local hospital.

After 48 hours in a coma, he finally regained consciousness.

After waking up, George Lucas's temperament changed drastically, as if he was a different person, completely giving up his hobby of racing and becoming obsessed with photography.

In order to survive the long recovery period, he begged his father to buy him a 35mm camera, and he quickly got up to speed and began his photography career.

After fully recovering, George Lucas, who used to have average academic grades, suddenly broke out and was admitted to the University of Southern California Film School, the same university where Martin's mother now teaches.

After graduating, George Lucas seemed to be on the hook.

The first self-written and directed theatrical film "Rice Country Style Painting" only cost 1.25 million US dollars and harvested 115 million US dollars at the box office, and the amazing return on investment made both the film company and Lucas make a lot of money.

In order to thank the musicians and sound engineers who had given him free help, Lucas gave them a large profit from "The Painting of the United States", for which Lucas and the producer Coppola had a disagreement.

Eventually, the two parted ways and embarked on completely different masters paths.

Lucas, who had the money, founded Lucasfilm.

Then came the Star Wars project.

Because he didn't have a suitable special effects company, he set up his own visual effects company, also known as "Industrial Light & Magic", which has produced and participated in more than 300 films by 2023.

After painstaking filming, on May 25, 1977, Star Wars was released.

This is a special effects blockbuster that is at least two decades ahead of its time.

During the first two weeks of the screening, there were long queues at the entrance of the Huaxia Theater in Los Angeles, and every child in the school was discussing this never-before-seen super sci-fi blockbuster.

People watch it over and over again.

George Lucas was once again a big hit.

The success of the "Star Wars" series brought George Lucas huge fame and a lot of income, but he did not stop 163 steps, and another big IP appeared - "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

However, because he wanted to continue to direct "Star Wars 2", George Lucas handed over the directing rights of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to his friend Spielberg.

Subsequently, both series were hugely successful.

But after filming the "Star Wars Trilogy", George Lucas seemed to run out of aura, and 1999's "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace" was still a big hit at the box office with the help of fans, but the reputation was not as good as the original trilogy.

Later Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith also encountered the same problem.

Finally, in 2012, George Lucas accepted Disney's offer of $4 billion and sold his Lucasfilm to the other party, and the two big IP series he created also had new owners.

Throughout George Lucas's life, the car accident was a turning point — it was only after the crash that he suddenly became interested in making movies, and the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999 was a turning point.

What do you guys come up with?

If George Lucas's life is an online novel, then the 1962 car accident should have a future soul entering his body, and this soul probably died before 1999, so after 1999, he lost his prophetic ability and gradually went downhill.

George Lucas is a special time-traveler!

(I feel like this guy's story could be used to open a book!)

(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) )。
