Chapter Seventy-Three: Unparalleled Box Office

  "But, Tang, you know this isn't what I wanted. I don't want people to see just my sexy figure." Monica said with a somewhat melancholic expression to Song Tang.

  "Does it make a difference? At least this way you'll be famous, won't you, dear?" Monica said. Song Tang shrugged his shoulders after hearing her words.

  "Of course it's different now." Monica said somewhat anxiously.

  "Alright! Dear, I think we don't need to have unnecessary arguments on this matter now, it will ruin the feelings between us! I can write a script for you, and now we should enjoy the joy of success." Seeing Monica's anxious look, Song Tang smiled slightly and stopped Monica who wanted to continue speaking.

  "Alright, Tang... " Monica heard Song Tang say so and helplessly gave him a white eye.

  "So, my dear, since that's the case, shouldn't we celebrate specially?" As he spoke, Song Tang walked over to Monica and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, which was full of charm and allure. He said with ill intentions, completely ignoring the passing fans who were discussing the movie. Fortunately, both of them had undergone special dressing, so the people around didn't think that among the crowd, there were the female lead and screenwriter of "Jurassic Park", which they had just finished watching. Otherwise, tomorrow's news headlines would definitely be about the two of them.

  Monica looked at Song Tang, who was holding her waist, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Monica knew what Song Tang meant, and she also knew that she shouldn't continue like this with him. However, the two people who had already developed feelings for each other couldn't stop their thoughts from leading them step by step into a deeper abyss.

  "Jurassic Park", as the third film of Da Tang Film Company this year, following "Lowly" and "The Shawshank Redemption", has changed its usual style, and it has also successfully attracted more movie fans. I really can't believe that buying a movie ticket requires queuing for over two hours, and finally the ticket seller tells me: "Sorry sir, today's tickets are sold out, if you want to watch the movie, you have to wait until tomorrow!" Oh my god, I really can't believe this is true! - Los Angeles Daily News

  "Steven Spielberg is one of Hollywood's best directors, and Tom Stoppard is one of Hollywood's genius screenwriters. I think we haven't seen a sci-fi epic this good in a long time. He will give us a visual feast before Christmas." -- The Hollywood Reporter

  "Whether it's a classic film, I think we shouldn't just look at the quality of the film itself, but also whether it is recognized and accepted by most people, and whether it has high box office. 'Jurassic Park' did that, and from its popularity, 'Jurassic Park' is indeed a classic sci-fi adventure film." - Entertainment Weekly

  "Do you recall the bet at the premiere of "Jurassic Park"? As a newcomer to Hollywood, Steven Spielberg boasted that "Jurassic Park" would gross over $1 billion worldwide. Although yesterday's results were impressive, it remains to be seen whether he will actually reach $1 billion in ticket sales. After all, even "Star Wars" only took in $775 million and "Terminator 2" had a mere $519 million. I eagerly await the box office results for "Jurassic Park", unfortunately I won't be able to see them immediately." - The New York Times

  Regardless of what the newspapers, magazines and media companies said after the release of "Jurassic Park", but in the end, "Jurassic Park" did not disappoint Steven Spielberg. On June 18th, "Jurassic Park" was released and over the weekend, it grossed $81 million at 3,025 theaters across North America, successfully topping the box office charts for the week. The average attendance rate of the 3,025 theaters exceeded 85% in three days.

  "Jurassic Park" continued to carry this crazy momentum into its second week of release across North America, grossing $39 million from Monday to Thursday. On June 25th, Disney released the big-budget comedy fantasy animated film "Aladdin", which was also the winner of the Best Original Score at the 65th Academy Awards. If it weren't for "Jurassic Park", Disney's "Aladdin" would have been the champion of Hollywood films in '92.

  From June 25th to 27th, "Jurassic Park" was affected by the release of "Aladdin" but still grossed $38.5 million at the box office, while Disney's "Aladdin" also earned $35.5 million, closely following behind. After two weeks, the cumulative box office gross of "Jurassic Park" reached an astonishing $130 million.

  In its third week of release, Disney's "Aladdin" still had a strong momentum, earning $42 million at the box office. However, facing the strong performance of "Jurassic Park", even the giant Disney had to accept the reality of ranking second in the new week's film charts. Because in this week, after "Jurassic Park" once again suppressed "Aladdin" and earned $80 million at the box office.

  In its fourth week, the momentum of "Jurassic Park"'s box office continued unabated...

  "Jurassic Park" sparked a dinosaur craze in the US, and on December 23, it premiered overseas at the Waldbühne in Berlin, Germany. Over the next few days, "Jurassic Park" swept through Germany, France, the UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Japan, and other countries, sparking a dinosaur frenzy. The film's overseas box office for that week was an astonishing $115 million, leaving people in awe. By this point, "Jurassic Park"'s global box office had broken the $500 million mark. Although it has yet to reach Steven Spielberg's predicted $1 billion, some astute observers are already predicting that it may not be impossible for the film to break the $1 billion barrier. Meanwhile, the dissenting voices in the media that previously claimed "Jurassic Park" would never reach $1 billion are growing fainter.

  Los Angeles Datang Film Company, Song Tang looked at the information about "Jurassic Park" one by one. Seeing the strong box office momentum of "Jurassic Park", Song Tang's heart was already blooming with joy, and he smiled and said: "Hehe, George, I think we should prepare a celebration party in advance."

  As a producer and also the boss of Da Tang Film Company, George watched the rapidly growing box office every day. At this time, George had already been convinced by Song Tang, and when he heard Song Tang's voice, George smiled and said: "Hehe, yes! Boss, to be honest, although it was definitely good before the release of 'Jurassic Park', I didn't expect 'Jurassic Park' to be so popular, it's really hard to believe."

  "This is an honor for all of us, and if it weren't for you, Steven, Dennis, and the rest of the people who worked behind the scenes at our company, I don't think Jurassic Park would have reached this level. Thank you." As he said that, Song Tang bowed deeply to George and some other Great Tang employees.

  The staff who were present here, seeing their boss like this, would not accept it and immediately stopped Song Tang's actions. However, Song Tang soon stopped everyone and continued to say: "I understand what you all mean, but what I said is true. Without your silent dedication, Da Tang wouldn't be where we are today. So from now on, I will increase the salary of all employees in Da Tang. I also hope that each of you will continue to work hard in the future. Although our company can't achieve great results like 20th Century Fox or Globe, we should see that there is still a big gap between us and these giants, so we can't be proud!"

  "Thank you, boss!" "Thanks to the boss's generosity!" "Long live the dollar." ... At this time, the people present heard that the boss had given them a raise and suddenly became excited. Song Tang saw this and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking: I've given you a raise and improved your treatment, now you should work hard for Da Tang.

  "Boss, are you really going to raise everyone's salary? Isn't that a bit hasty." Just as everyone was rejoicing, George, who was next to Song Tang, came over and whispered to him.

  "Yes, George, I've actually been thinking about this for a long time. There's a saying in our country that goes like this: 'A horse won't get fat if it doesn't eat at night.' If we want these people to work hard, it's also necessary to give them a suitable raise." Song Tang explained to George after seeing his puzzled gaze.
