The second update is still there are three updates today. I didn’t expect that the status will be stuck during the period of time on the shelves.
I have been adjusting recently, and my grades are not ideal because of the quality. I am sorry, but I still hope that everyone can subscribe and support Xiao Ai and ask for recommendations and monthly tickets!

"The brief success lost Justin Chen's eyes, this was the stupidest agreement in the history of film!"
Seeing the last sentence, Scarlett picked up the newspaper in his hand and walked straight to the trash can.
The men who were originally going to read the newspaper looked at each other and watched Scarlett throw the newspaper away all the trash cans.
Not many people have the same idea as Scarlett, and Alice and Roger are one of the few, although they are also worried about the agreement between Chen Tian and 20th Century Fox.
But they still firmly believe that Chen Tian can complete this work well in a year.
Just when the media were following Chen Tian, David Ellison and 20th Century Fox agreed, the official website of "Yahoo Entertainment" revealed that Chen Tian snatched the best-selling book from 20th Century Fox and the filming rights of "The Queen of Prada".
This news was revealed by David Ellison himself, and "Yahoo Entertainment" is naturally happy to cooperate.
"Justin Chen is still going to film "The Queen of Prada"? Can he do it? Isn't he preparing for $100 million?"
"Yeah, is his $100 million production just an excuse to steal The Queen of Prada from 20th Century Fox?"
"This novel is so classic. Can Justin Chen be filmed well? I really don't want him to waste such a good script."
"I love this video so much. I don't know who will play Andy and who will play Miranda. This tests acting skills. I hope Justin won't make this good book bad."
...
Soon, discussions about this news appeared on major forums, not only were there fans of this super bestselling book, but also many people who loved movies.
There are doubts, support and approval, and this is what David Ellison wants to see.
"Matthew. Is it true that you were stolen from The Queen of Prada?"
"What do you think about this? Do you think he violates certain principles like this?"
"Matthew, will 20th Century Fox impose certain sanctions on Justin Chen because of this? For example, cut off possible cooperation in the future?"
"Who do you think this $100 million agreement will win in the end?"
...
As soon as Matthew Lunt arrived at Lincoln Center, many reporters gathered around.
Looking at the long spear in front of him, Matthew Lunt, who had adjusted after a night, sneered.
"At least I have never seen such a situation before. I think he needs to think about it carefully. The only thing I can say is that he can make this video well." Matthew Lunt did not continue to answer the reporter's questions but left directly.
Although he only lost one script, for 20th Century Fox, the script he obtained this time was undoubtedly slapped hard by Chen Tian and David Ellison.
No one has ever dared to play in such an unreasonable way in front of them, which not only made Matthew Lunt feel shame but also made the top leaders of 20th Century Fox angry.
Just as Chen Tian and Anne Hathaway went to Jackson Cafe in Manhattan together to meet with Lauren Weisberg, the author of "The Queen of Prada", Fox had new negotiations with the six major theaters in the United States.
20th Century Fox has released a new share agreement on five films that will be released at the end of this year, including "The Sinner", "The Out of Control Jury", "The Sea of Anger", "The Body Brothers" and "A Basket of Children".
"Yes, you heard it right. We will propose a new accounting agreement for these five works. I believe you will be satisfied." Matthew Lunt said looking at the computer screen.
At this moment, he is negotiating with the six largest theaters in the United States, which is also an order issued by the company's senior management in the morning.
Among them, "The Sea of Anger" is a work Fox hopes to win the Oscars next year, while "A Basket of Children" is the perfect ending that Fox hopes to start 2003 and 2004.
According to Fox's previous share of the production between theaters and theaters, it is normal to follow the principle of "with-floor-of-70%".
That is, the box office does not minus the fixed expenses of the cinema, and the box office is multiplied by 70%. The figure obtained is the income distributed to Fox by the cinema.
Starting from the second week, this coefficient gradually decreases with the number of release weeks, and the specific decline ratio will be agreed upon according to the film.
Such a loan split agreement has rarely changed since last year's negotiations, and it is still somewhat repulsive to Matthew Lunt's sudden proposal to negotiate a new loan split agreement.
General Motors, Lianyi, AMC, Carmike and Marcus are the top six theaters in the United States today. Although the six theaters in the United States only control 14,000 screens among the more than 30,000 screens in the United States.
But this 45% of the screen count basically accounts for 80% of the box office revenue of the U.S. box office revenue, which means that the remaining companies account for more than half of the screen count only 20% of the box office.
When they saw the candidates for online video conferences, they subconsciously thought that this was a meeting held by Fox to increase the accounting sharing agreement, but the result was beyond their expectations.
Some of the people in charge of the negotiations in the six major theaters did not believe their own ears. Matthew Lunt not only did not ask for an increase in the accounting agreement, but instead proposed the intention of sharing more shares in private.
Colin Sean, now the marketing manager of AMC, the second largest theater chain in the United States. He attended the meeting today on behalf of AMC: "Matthew, you just said you would give us another 1% in the first week?
Are you sure, aren’t you going to say that we’re giving up 1% more?”
Colin Sean expressed everyone's doubts, and Matthew Ront laughed: "Of course you heard it right, this is a little bit of our 20th Century Fox."
Colin Sean and the other five people had the same idea, and they all felt that things were not that simple.
They don't believe that there will be good things in the sky that pies will fall, but they want to hear Fox's request.
"Matthew. Tell me, what are the requirements?" Colin Sean took the initiative to raise it.
Matthew Ront laughed: "There is indeed a little bit of a problem, that is, we want you to give you some help to the upcoming "Hard Fruit Candy" and "Little Sunshine Beauty."
The heads of the six major theaters suddenly understood and immediately linked this matter with the agreement that broke out yesterday and the incident of Fox being snatched away by Chen Tian and Ellison brothers.
“I know this is a bit out of the norm. We’ll give up some when Operation Smith is released if we can.
And we may also give up 1% of the videos next year or even the year after. Of course, you will definitely give us more screenings when we give up, right?"
