In fact, all the movies released this year are relatively difficult. The first half of the year was pretty good. There was only one super blockbuster, "Spider-Man". You could still avoid it if you wanted to, but starting from August, there was basically nowhere to hide.
At the end of August, "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has also been delayed several times, will finally be released.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a hit at the box office this year. Although it lacks the blessing of the original novel compared to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter," the script was written by Yu Dong after all, and it was written by Deep Space Company
Produced jointly with two major Disney studios, there is absolutely no way the box office will be bad.
Since the beginning of the year, Deep Space Company and Disney have been promoting this movie.
Last year, Box Office.com launched a function. When a movie has not been released yet, netizens can click the "Want to Watch" button. In this way, the website will push movie-related information to users in a timely manner, such as movies.
When will it be released, when will tickets go on sale, which cinemas will have tickets, and even information on screenings, premieres, and roadshows.
As of today, 80,000 to 90,000 people have clicked the button, which proves that the early publicity is still very good. The movie tickets will start to be sold in two days, and then we will be able to see whether the movie has a box office.
potential.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is just the first entry in the second half of the year. After "Pirates of the Caribbean" there are "X-Men", "Lord of the Rings 2", "Harry Potter 2", "Cat and Mouse" and several other films.
A film produced by Deep Space.
In addition to several movies from Deep Space, there are also popular movies such as "Snoopy", "My Greek Wedding", "Iron" and "Star Episode II".
In this case, there is no safe schedule in the second half of the year. No matter when, these movies will have to squeeze the box office.
However, there are so many blockbusters this year, which is not a benefit to other movies. At least this year, more audiences are willing to go to the cinema than before.
The cake is getting bigger, and other movies are getting a little bit of it.

On August 17, Saturday, in Manhattan, New York, on the second floor of Satisfaction Tea House, Serena looked out the window at the new deep space building that had not yet been topped out, and asked Linda, who was sitting opposite her, with a smile, "What do you think of the tea here?"
Does it taste good?"
"It looks good, but I'm not used to drinking it."
"Maybe I have a Chinese tongue, so I'm quite used to it, but I feel that it would taste better if it was cold. This tea is too hot." Serena laughed.
"If you think it tastes good, you can buy some tea and we can make it at home. I don't know if making tea is difficult."
"Before I came here, I asked some netizens on the Deep Space Tribe, and they said that making tea is not difficult, but if you want the tea to taste good, it mainly depends on the raw materials. As long as the tea leaves are good enough, just use boiled water to make it."
"That's good. I'm afraid that making tea will be as difficult as making Chinese food."
Serena and Linda often went to authentic Sichuan restaurants and liked Mapo tofu very much. After Serena went back, she tried to make Mapo tofu at home, but found it very difficult and gave up.
"Although making tea is not difficult, it is definitely not easy to buy good tea. Besides, look at the price, we can't afford it normally."
Linda clicked her tongue, nodded and said, "Indeed, a pot of tea costs thirty-nine dollars."
“It’s still the cheapest one.”
"Well, it's the cheapest. The key is that if you want to drink their tea, you have to queue up."
The two of them queued for more than 40 minutes for this seat, but they were lucky enough to get a seat by the window upstairs.
"I heard that Americans drink more tea now than before," Serena said.
"Really?" Linda was very surprised, "How did you know?"
"I saw data from a survey and consulting agency on Deep Space Tribe. In 1997, the proportion of regular green tea in American households was only 2%. However, by 2000, this figure had increased to 20%.
six."
"So many?" Linda was even more surprised.
Twenty-six percent, which means that more than a quarter of households in the United States have green tea on a regular basis. This is more than she imagined. The United States is a coffee kingdom, and basically everyone drinks coffee, such as green tea.
, there should be very few people drinking it.
Serena was not surprised by Linda's reaction. She smiled and said, "I was surprised when I saw this data. Later, I looked at the data carefully and found out that the green tea they were talking about was not just green tea leaves, but also green tea.
There are some instant teas and bottled green teas. Americans don’t like brewing tea and pouring tea leaves. But I have also heard from many Chinese netizens that instant tea and bottled green tea are not considered tea in the eyes of Chinese people.”
"Isn't this strange? Can Americans drink strange hot tea?"
"So they all drink iced ones, which is to put the tea made with tea bags into ice cubes, and then add lemon and tea."
"Aren't there many people in London drinking like this?"
Serena looked around on the second floor again, "But most of the people in this teahouse are not Asians, which proves that this teahouse still has a strong market in the local area."
There are also rumors that this teahouse was opened by Jimmy James, the owner of Deep Space Company, which is why the business is so good. However, after Serena and the others came to observe on the spot, they felt that this speculation was not very reasonable. At this time, all the customers in the store were
It's not like Jimmy James came to support it.
The two of them drank a pot of tea for a long time. When they arrived at the restaurant, they each ordered a "crystal".
They came here today just for Crystal. Before they came to Manhattan, someone had recommended that if they want authentic dumplings in China, they must go to Satisfaction Tea House. Although the price is not cheap, the taste is absolutely delicious.
I am satisfied with the pork and corn dumplings at the Satsfactory Restaurant. Even in China, they are considered to be delicious.
The reason why the dumplings are so good is not only because of the good ingredients, but also because the chefs in the kitchen are all top chefs from China.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Serena and Linda ate it, they were both full of praise and said that the netizens were not lying. The dumplings were indeed delicious and quite in line with their tastes.
It has a sweet feeling.
It can be said that apart from being expensive, there are actually no shortcomings in what I am satisfied with at the teahouse.
After finishing their meal, the two of them walked out of Satisfied Tea House and wandered nearby. When they finally reached an Internet cafe, they stopped.
It stands to reason that since the two of them came all the way from the UK to travel, there was really no need to waste time in an Internet cafe, but today happened to be the day when the Duck Web website was officially launched, so the two wanted to find an Internet cafe to witness the launch of the website.
Business in the Internet cafe was relatively good. When the two of them entered, the attendance rate was already very high, but it was not full yet, so they still found two seats.
The Duck Web website was launched at nine o'clock New York time. It's only around seven o'clock now, and there are still nearly two hours left. Linda chose to go to the Deep Space Tribe to hang out, while Serena chose to log in to the battle network.
.
In addition to watching dramas and variety shows, she also likes to play video games. Recently, "Warcraft 3" is about to be released, so she pays more attention to it.
At the beginning of the year, we were already talking about the launch of "Warcraft 3". At that time, YU also specifically talked about this matter at the Deep Space Annual Conference. However, it has been delayed for more than half a year and it has not been launched yet. It was said that it would not be launched until September 1.
It will be officially launched when the number is confirmed.
There is still half a month to go, and now everyone is discussing this matter.
Serena has never taken "Warcraft 3" to heart before. After all, she prefers to play "StarCraft" and thinks that "Warcraft 3" is a weakened version of "StarCraft". Those who like to play this game are all because
The style of painting has nothing to do with the gameplay itself.
But looking at the situation now, Serena feels that maybe "Warcraft 3" can really give them some surprises.
After wandering around Battle.net, Serena opened Space again. Now she opens the computer and habitually opens three softwares, one is Dongdong, one is Battle.net, and the other is Space. Even if she doesn't play games that day,
You must also open all three software, otherwise you will always feel that there is something missing.
In space, she used to play Plants vs. Zombies the most, and now she plays Minecraft the most. This game is very time-consuming. Sometimes after entering the game, she feels like she has done nothing and time just slips away.
gone.
Some time ago, she wanted to synthesize a new ancient Chinese sword "Fish Gut" in the game, which took at least six hours. This was after she had already seen the basic guide, otherwise it would be much more difficult.
It's the same this time. Before entering the game, I didn't really want to play it. But after I entered it, I unknowingly threw myself into it again. Recently, a big boss has developed a kind of jet bucket. It is said that as long as it is used properly, it can
An aircraft has been made using this jet barrel, but no one has yet succeeded.
Of course, it was very difficult to make this kind of jet bucket first. Many materials were relatively scarce, and she didn't have these materials on hand, so she had to slowly find and synthesize them.
By the time Linda patted her arm, she hadn't even found all the materials for a jet bucket.
"It will be nine o'clock soon."
Linda nodded, plugged out the game page, and then waited to enter the address of Duck Web Duck Web in the website address bar.
Before nine o'clock, she tried many times, and every time she opened the web page, there was only the word "Stay tuned".
The two of them slowly counted the time, and when nine o'clock arrived, they clicked directly into the website.
At this time, the original words "Stay tuned" are no longer there, but a complete website.
The most conspicuous part of this website at this time is a large video cover with YU on it.
"YU's video."
Serena screamed excitedly, and then clicked on the video first.
The video started playing, and YU inside started to move.
"Hello everyone, I'm YU. I'm very happy to record the first video for the Yawei Yawei website. The slogan of the Yawei Yawei website is 'Be your own director', so today I won't bother others and will shoot it myself.
Now, next, I will take you to see what I will do in a day? It is morning now, there are classes in school today, I usually get up and go to the school cafeteria to eat..."
"After breakfast, I will go to the office first, and then go to the classroom."
"There are no classes in the afternoon, and Teacher Cheng doesn't have any classes either. We will go back to Luoyuan for dinner."
"Look, Teacher Cheng is playing the piano with little friend Yu. I believe that after a while, little friend Yu's piano skills will surpass mine."
The whole video is not long, just over three minutes in total. Yu Dong simply shows his daily life and also takes pictures of his family. However, except for Cheng Yanqiu, everyone else takes pictures from the back or the side.
Included in one.
In the video, Yu Dong speaks in Chinese, but with English subtitles, so Serena and the others don't seem stressed.
After Serena finished watching the video, she discovered that the bottom of this video showed the number of views and reposts of the video, just like the Deep Space Tribe. In just a few minutes, the number of views of the video exceeded 20,000, and there were dozens of reposts, and she
As soon as it is refreshed, these two data will increase.
There are also hundreds of comments in the comment area below.
[Don’t watch it yet, grab the first one.]
[After seeing my comment, you are no longer the first.]
【sofa.】
【sofa.】
[There are so many sofas, you are all on the floor.]
【Finally online.】
[Being your own director is a very touching saying.]
[English subtitles are well received.]
[It seems that it is possible to send videos, I will try to find out.]
…
After scanning the comment area, Serena found the repost button and prepared to repost it too.
After pressing the forward button, the system prompted her to log in. Only then did she realize that she was not logged in, so she hurriedly logged in again.
She had logged in many times before, always using her Dongdong account.
After logging in, she pressed the forward button again, and two options popped up: "Forward to Duckweed Space" or "Forward to Dongdong friends."
"Can I forward it to my friends?"
Serena muttered, and out of curiosity chose to forward it to Dongdong's friend. However, the page did not go to Dongdong. Instead, it prompted that the link had been copied. Seeing this, she understood, so she opened Dongdong herself and found
Linda's account, paste the link there.
Linda was still reading the comment section. After receiving the message, she asked Serena: "What is this?"
"This is the link to this video, please click it and try it."
"oh."
Linda clicked on the link, and then the webpage directly opened the video page of Yu Dong in Duckweed, which was quite smooth.
Seeing that the link was clickable, Serena tried "forward to duck web space" again. This time she did not copy the link, but directly transferred to her personal space. There was a forwarding page with a text input box on it.
.
Serena tried to write a sentence in the text input box, and then clicked to confirm the forwarding. Then she saw a forwarded video in his personal space, which gave her the same feeling as the Deep Space Tribe, except that
