Chapter 643 Zadar (Happy Chinese New Year)

When Zhang Zhong and the others went to the cinema to watch "The Last Starfish", the movie had already been released for [-] hours.

The evaluation of this movie on the Internet is also gradually unfolding, and the movie's box office also has approximate data on the Internet.

As of 2500:3300 p.m. New York time, the movie's box office in North America was around 4000 million. It is predicted that the box office on the first day in North America will eventually be between [-] million and [-] million.

Of course, it usually takes a while to calculate the box office on the first day. The current box office is not necessarily accurate, but there should be little difference.

Such a box office is not low.

The competition in the North American film market in July is not great. Except for the two sequels of "Empire of the Sunset 2" and "The Thief 3", which are somewhat competitive, other films are not very competitive.

"Sunset Empire 2" has been released for a week, and now the box office has reached nearly 3 million US dollars. "Thief [-]" was released for three days, and the box office just exceeded [-] million US dollars.

For the time being, the box office of "The Last Starfish" seems to be at that kind of middle level, which is already better than most movies, but it is not yet a hit.

In fact, the fact that the protagonist is an oriental face still has some impact on the box office, otherwise the box office on the first day should be higher. After all, this is a big IP movie, and it usually starts with a strong start.

And the reverse influence of the oriental face is probably also offset by pz's popularity in North America.

If this is not a movie adapted from pz's book, it is estimated that many people will not step into the cinema to watch a sci-fi movie with an oriental protagonist.

So far, the highest-grossing movie with a Chinese protagonist is the second part of "Double Dragon", with a North American box office of 2.6 million.

And now "The Last Starfish" should be able to break this record depending on the situation.

……

After leaving Chicago, Zhang Zhong's next stop is Zadar, Croatia.

They came a day earlier, and it happened to be in the afternoon when they first arrived.

After putting away the luggage at the hotel, Zhang Zhong and the others went straight to the sea organ.

The Sea Organ is a famous scenic spot in Zadar. It has been built for more than ten years. The designer Nicola Jos has lived by the sea since he was a child, and he likes to listen to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks very much.

Inspired by this, he finally designed this sea organ that will produce music with the sea and sea breeze.

When Zhang Zhong and the others arrived, the steps of the sea organ were already full of people.

There are 35 large organ pipes hidden under the white stone steps. The beating of sea water and the fluctuation of tides will automatically form pressure changes in the organ pipes, and wonderful music will also be produced accordingly.

The sound was not loud. Pengpeng finally found a pipe hole and lay down on the ground to listen for a long time. After a while, she clapped her hands with a smile and said, "There is really music!"

"Does it sound good?" Hu Huifang asked.

"It's not very pleasant, woo woo woo." Peng Peng shook his head, "But it's very interesting, grandparents, do you want to listen?"

The old couple thought it was quite interesting, but if they want to listen to it, they have to lie on the ground, which is really not elegant. It’s fine if Peng Peng is a child, and it’s not good for them to lie on the ground with a lot of grades.

Zhang Zhong laughed beside him, "Let's listen too."

After he finished speaking, he lay down on the ground, and even dragged Xu Yuhan to the ground as well.

The two people put their heads against each other and put their ears to the pipe hole. At first they couldn't hear any sound. After a while, Zhang Zhong suddenly heard a sound. It wasn't very beautiful, but it was indeed similar to an organ.

Xu Yuhan heard it too, looked up at Zhang Zhong, and said with a smile, "It sounds better than I imagined."

Zhang Jiao nodded, and then waved to Hu Huifang and the others, "Dad, Mom, are you here to listen too?"

Hu Huifang and the others hesitated for a while, and finally squatted down. Peng Peng cooed and squatted down too. Just like that, several members of the family lay on their stomachs around a small hole.

Pengpeng said with a smile, "Dad, do you think we look like five-pointed stars?"

Zhang nodded, "Well, it does look like a five-legged star."

After staying on the steps of the sea organ for a while, Zhang Zhong and the others left, because there were too many people here, and the steps were full of people.

Zadar is a famous tourist city, and the Sea Organ is an important scenic spot in Zadar, so there are usually many people here.

And during this time, there are more tourists coming to Zadar than in previous years, because pz will hold a signing event here.

Many people who were traveling in nearby countries ran over by the way.

Leaving the sea organ, the family walked along the coast, and the sun was about to set.

In July, Croatia has a pleasant climate with an average daily maximum temperature of less than [-] degrees and an average daily minimum temperature of around [-] degrees.

Standing by the sea, the sea breeze blows gently, and the fatigue of the journey is completely washed away at this moment.

The sunsets in Zadar are indeed unique. Zhang Zhong and his family have traveled to many places in the past two years and watched many sunrises and sunsets.

And what I have to say is that Zadar's sunset ranks among the top among all the sunsets they have seen.

And today they were very lucky. When the golden sun was about to touch the horizon, it was well attached to the side of a sail.

The sun and the curved sail fit perfectly together, as if they were meant to be together.

When the sunset is over, there is only a red glow on the horizon.

When the sunset was over, the beach became more active. A street dance troupe came from nowhere and stood on the square beside the steps, sweating heartily, and there were people explaining it.

The tourists who were watching the sunset were attracted by the lively dance and formed a circle.

The family walked back along the way they came. Before dark, they would go back to the hotel for a short rest, and then come out for dinner.

As for visiting the scenic spots, they will stay here for a while after Zhang Zhong's signing is over, and they have plenty of time to appreciate the local scenery.

After dark, Zadar did not return to calm. On the contrary, unlike the hustle and bustle during the day, the old town of Zadar at night began to become unimaginably lively.

On the way Zhang Zhong and the others were looking for a restaurant, they could see that the streets paved with bluestone bricks were full of tourists who came out to enjoy the nightlife. Sit on the famous Croatian ice cream and sit casually on the side of the road to enjoy the coolness and excitement of the night.

Hu Huifang seemed very satisfied with Zadar and kept praising the city along the way.

"Better than that Beverly Hills."

She not only praised Zadar, but also stepped on it, not forgetting to say Beverly Hills.

Indeed, compared to Zadar, Beverly Hills has nothing but luxuries and beautiful big houses.

There is no gentle sea breeze, no beautiful sunset, no beautiful organ sound, and no lively night scene so close to life.
