After hearing Hu Shuo's words, Peter and the audience were shocked.
"Of course, I'm talking about dollars."
Hu Shuo added another sentence.
"Can't believe it!"
"This idea is crazy!"
"I won't believe his lies!"
“The highest-grossing movie in the world is only US$2.7 billion!”
"If I remember correctly, there are only four movies with a global box office exceeding 2 billion!"
"..."
After Hu Shuo proposed this goal, the scene was in an uproar, and the audience started talking in low voices.
"Mr. Hu Shuo, do you know that there are only 4 movies with a global box office of more than 2 billion US dollars." Peter asked.
"Of course I know." Hu Shuo nodded.
"So, do you still think your movie's global box office will reach 2 billion or even 3 billion?"
"Yes, I still think so."
Hu Shuo shrugged: "When I was in China, I once said that records are meant to be broken. We can't think that just because this situation has never happened before, it won't happen!"
"Besides, haven't there been four movies in history that have exceeded US$2 billion in box office? So, the goal I mentioned shouldn't be too outrageous."
Hu Shuo was chatting and laughing, with a smile on his face.
"Well, I hope your dreams come true!"
"However, I think this may really be just a dream." Peter shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the goal proposed by Hu Shuo.
At the end of the interview, Celine Dion sang the theme song "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" live.
After finishing the recording of this interview show, Hu Shuo's promotion in the United States also came to an end, and he took a special plane back to Jiangcheng.
Mid-level villa.
As soon as Hu Shuo entered the house, Zuo Zuo rushed over.
"Dad, I miss you so much!"
"Dad misses Zuo Zuo too."
Hu Shuo bent down and held Zuo Zuo in his arms: "Come on, kiss daddy!"
"mua~!"
"One more from the left!"
"mua~!"
"One more on the right!"
"mua~!"
"Another one on the forehead!"
"mua~!"
Zuozuo cooperated very well. She kept kissing her father's face with her little mouth, and then she hung on his father's body and refused to come down.
"Look how tired you two are!"
Yang Yunyan rolled her eyes at the side.
"Zao Zuo, your mother is jealous, why don't you let your mother kiss your father?"
Hu Shuo said with a smile.
"no!"
Zozo was like a koala, hanging her arms around her father's neck and shaking her head.
"Okay, then just listen to Zuo Zuo."
Hu Shuo smiled, and then gave Yang Yunyan a helpless look. However, when the couple passed each other, Hu Shuo whispered in his wife's ear: "Waiting for the evening..."
Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Zuo Zuo stayed by his father's side for the entire afternoon, and it wasn't until Hu Shuo put the little girl to sleep at night that he had time to get close to his wife.
Done.
Yang Yunyan expressed her satisfaction and kissed her husband on the forehead: "Well, I can see that you should be very honest in America!"
"Of course, for the sake of my wife, of course I have to keep myself safe!"
"Well, good performance!"
"Oh, wife, you don't know, a group of little goblins are seducing me. Fortunately, your husband has enough concentration!"
"Really?"
"I just have to believe this!"
Yang Yunyan smiled. It would be abnormal for a young and talented person like Hu Shuo, who has a successful career, not to be seduced by a "little goblin".
"Your husband has performed so well, should he be rewarded?" Hu Shuo chuckled.
"How to reward?"
"You understand~!" Hu Shuo blinked.
"Hmph~!"
"rogue!!"
Yang Yunyan snorted, but there was a blushing smile on her face...
(One hundred thousand words are omitted here...)
Three days later.
After having enough rest, Hu Shuo went to Chuangshi Entertainment.
"Mr. Hu, the situation in the United States has already exploded!"
Hu Shuo met Zhang Ying at the door of the office building, or after meeting him, he said this.
"Well?"
"What blew up?"
Hu Shuo looked suspicious.
"The new episodes of "Pete Speaks" and "Future Stars" were aired, triggering a huge response in the United States!"
Zhang Ying explained.
"Really?"
"How much of a response was it?"
Hu Shuo asked curiously.
"You can download a tweet and take a look."
"All right."
Hu Shuo shrugged.
"Mr. Hu, there is news from Fantasy Park that the special effects production of "Titanic" will be completed in mid-April!"
Zhang Ying said again.
"Are you sure?"
"Well, sure!"
"Then the best thing is to inform the publicity and distribution department immediately that "Titanic" will be scheduled for May Day!"
The final release date of "Titanic" has not been determined before, mainly because the Fantasy Park special effects team cannot give an accurate delivery date, but it is expected to be completed before the end of April. Therefore, Hu Shuo does not dare to rush.
The schedule is set, and now that it is confirmed that it will be completed in mid-April, there is no pressure to schedule it on May Day!
"Okay, then I'll notify the publicity department right away!"
"By the way, I would like to inform Wang Qi and ask him to do the follow-up publicity work in the United States!"
"Okay, I'll let you know!"
Zhang Ying agreed and went directly to the floor where the publicity department was located.
"Good morning, Mr. Hu!"
"Hello, Mr. Hu!"
"Hello, Mr. Hu..."
Along the way, employees greeted Hu Shuo one after another.
"Mr. Hu, you are here."
Zhang Lu was very happy to see Hu Shuo finally showing up at the company.
"Well, make me a cup of coffee."
Hu Shuo waved his hand.
"Okay!"
Hu Shuo walked into the office he had been away from for a long time, and followed Zhang Ying's reminder to download a tweet over the wall.
As expected, there were a lot of discussions on Twitter about Hu Shuo himself and "Titanic".
The first is the impact of the broadcast of "Pete Says". American netizens expressed strong doubts and disdain for the goals mentioned by Hu Shuo.
"Two billion dollars? Who does he think he is? What a shameless statement!!"
"Haha, that Huaxia Hu is simply ridiculous. No matter what achievements he has in China, this is the United States. I have to tell him that it is impossible for "Titanic" to get a box office of 2 billion US dollars!!"
"That Chinese guy is so arrogant. I hate him very much. Yes, I hate him very much! If he were in front of me, I would beat him up!"
"Two billion US dollars at the box office? Haha, if his "Titanic" can really sell for 2 billion US dollars, I am willing to swallow a piece of shit!!"
"Hey, eating dog shit is not a big deal. If his "Titanic" can sell 2 billion U.S. dollars at the box office, I would be willing to eat donkey shit. As you know, donkey shit is much more than dog shit!"
"Hey! Hua Xia Hu, do you dare to make a bet with me? If the global box office of "Titanic" exceeds 2 billion, I will run away in Times Square! If not, you will be the one running away!! Do you dare?
?”
"Want to challenge Hua Xiahu? Count me in. If the global box office of "Titanic" exceeds 2 billion, I will stand naked and upside down under the Statue of Liberty for an hour!!"
"..."
On Twitter, various American netizens made bizarre comments criticizing Hu Shuo and his statement that the box office of "Titanic" exceeded 2 billion.
After seeing the comments from American netizens, Hu Shuo couldn't help laughing, and then registered a Twitter account under his real name.
@Joseph, I accept your challenge, please be prepared to run wild in Times Square!!
@shawbert, I accept your challenge. Please be prepared to do a naked handstand under the Statue of Liberty, but I doubt you can last for an hour!
@murray, you want to eat donkey dung, right? I can provide you with milk or coffee? After all, the thing is so dry and big!
@婷华, before eating shit, you'd better prepare a spoon. Of course, if you don't have a spoon, I can provide it for free.
…
Hu Shuo replied to several American netizens in one breath.
Later, he posted another tweet: Those who question me, you are welcome to challenge me. From now on, as long as you post a tweet and @me, if you get my reply, I will accept you.
Challenge, by the way, I hope you have more tricks, not just swallowing dog poop or donkey poop!!
"Oh, this is the Chinese guy!"
“Are you sure it’s true??”
"Looks like it's real!"
"However, he has no official identification!"
"This would be very interesting if it were true!"
"Is he declaring war on all of us Americans?"
"Maybe, but I think he is crazy!"
"If this person is really Huaxia Hu, he may die miserably!"
"Haha, I'm waiting for you to run wild and swallow feces!!"
"Arrogant guy, I hope you keep your word! I'm willing to admit defeat!"
"I want to bet you one million dollars, do you dare?"
"Damn it, I hate how arrogant he is!!"
"..."
After Hu Shuo's tweet was sent out, it immediately triggered a siege from a large number of American netizens. However, his identity was questioned. After all, his account was not officially certified.
However, Hu Shuo was happy to see the comments from these American netizens, because the more intense their reactions, the more beneficial it would be for the promotion of "Titanic".
"Mr. Hu, what makes you so happy?"
Zhang Lu walked into the office carrying coffee.
"It's nothing, I'm interacting with American netizens."
Hu Shuo smiled.
"A netizen from the United States?"
Zhang Lu looked confused.
"Yes, American netizens!"
"By the way, you can contact Wang Qi later and ask him to help officially authenticate my Twitter account. It's fun, but now they are still questioning my identity."
Hu Shuo gave Zhang Lu his Twitter account and asked him to contact Wang Qi.
Wang Qi's work efficiency was quite high, and the account authentication matter was quickly completed.
"Oh, his account has been officially verified!"
"He is really that Chinese!"
"This is great, I want to bet my wife with you!"
"Haha, arrogant guy, I want you to know how powerful Americans are!"
"Two billion US dollars in box office, right? I'm waiting for your performance!"
"Don't worry, even if I die, I won't walk into the cinema to support your movie!"
"You will regret your words and actions today!"
"Boy, give in, it's still too late!"
"Two billion U.S. dollars? Do you think you are God? Even God is not sure that his movie can sell 2 billion U.S. dollars!!"
"Arrogant Chinese boy, you will suffer a lot!!"
"..."
After Hu Shuo's Twitter account was officially certified, it immediately attracted a large number of comments. However, as all kinds of curses came in, the number of his Twitter followers increased a lot, and soon exceeded
One hundred thousand.
Of course, 90% of these people are just watching the fun, but in any case, Hu Shuo has an additional bridge of interaction with American netizens.
However, not all the comments were criticizing him. There were also a few friendly comments. Most of the netizens who left these comments were Chinese students who used Twitter abroad, and some of them were because of watching "Future Stars".
"After that, individual Americans became fans.
"Don't scold him, everyone, he is really a very talented person!"
"Yes, he is very talented. Not only "Spider-Man" is his work, "My Heart Will Go On" and "Just O Dance" are all very, very good songs. As a Chinese, he can write such beautiful songs.
It’s really not easy to sing English songs!”
"Your performance on the "Future Star" stage was so cool. No matter what others say, I admire you very much!"
"Brother Shuo, come on, let me see your strength!"
"Brother Shuo, don't worry. After "Titanic" is released, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you!"
"Brother Shuo, ignore those old beauties, they are all a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world! They don't know how powerful you are!"
"My favorite Brother Shuo actually opened Twitter. As an international student in the United States, I will support you to the end!"
"'Just O Dance' is a really cool song. You sang it great and the coordination with Celine Dion was perfect!"
"I want to know if Kardashian really auditioned for "My Heart Will Go On"? I still think your choice is a bit incredible!"
"Yes, I am a Kardashian fan, and I hate you! Get out of America! Don't appear on American screens! We don't welcome you!!"
"..."
Hu Shuo's registration of a Twitter account caused quite a stir on the American Internet. As more and more people knew that he had registered for Twitter, there were more and more comments under Hu Shuo's Twitter.
The people who left these messages can basically be divided into three categories. One is to challenge Hu Shuo, the other is to insult Hu Shuo unscrupulously, and the third is the Chinese who support Hu Shuo and a small number of Americans.
of fans.
Seeing that his popularity on Twitter is getting higher and higher, Hu Shuo immediately posted a new tweet: Thanks to those who challenged and insulted me, I want to tell you the good news that "Titanic" will be released on May 1st.
Released, the mystery will be revealed soon, I hope all of you will not delete @my Twitter!!
"Don't worry, we will never delete it!"
"Haha, your death is not far away!"
"Arrogant guy, waiting for you to fulfill your promise!"
"You are still talking arrogantly when you are about to die, just wait until you die!!"
"Did you think I would walk into the cinema? No way!!"
"I'm still in the mood to promote the movie. I'd better think about how to eat shit!!"
"May 1st, right? No problem, I remember it, and I will go to the movie to see how bad your movie is!!"
"I'm willing to waste ten dollars to watch a bad movie because I just want to know how bad you make the movie and tell every friend around me!!"
