"Hey, buddy, have you seen it?"
"What did you say?"
"Python's Calamity, it's awesome!
I watched it twice yesterday, and every time the python appeared, I was very excited! "
"I want to watch it again, but I can't buy any tickets. Damn ticket scalpers, they actually asked for 200 USD. Are they crazy?"
… … …
"I found an easter egg."
"What easter egg?"
"The big black snake in the later part of the movie, I think it can be a sequel."
"Stop fooling around, do you think this is a movie?
This is a documentary, it's a real thing. "
"Isn't it a movie?"
"Don't tell me you don't know about Nagini's house?"
"What's that?"
"Buddy, I don't want to talk to you, you're out!"
… … …
"You like Nagini?"
"Nagini is very handsome, but I like Sam more. This little sister is very brave."
"Sam?
What kind of taste is that?
I think she's a bit old, and she's a girl. "
"What's wrong with a girl?
I think Sam is very handsome, and I saw Sam in person when I went to Venice at the beginning of the month. She's much prettier than in the movie. "
"What did you say?"
"I said I went to Venice."
"Damn, I'm suddenly jealous of you. Do you have Nagini's autographed photo?"
"No, I didn't even know them at that time."
"Get lost!"
"Okay."

Python's Calamity became popular, and so did the actors. But as Jérôme said, the success of a movie always depends on the box office. Only when a movie is recognized by the audience, it's a real movie!
And judging from the current box office results, Blair The Witch's version of Python's Calamity was highly praised by all aspects!
The first day's box office was 27 million USD. September's Python's Calamity successfully locked in the third week of September as the overlord.
And because it was released at noon, in theory, it's only half a day's box office.
It was estimated that in three days at most, the box office of "Anaconda's Disaster" would exceed 100 million yuan. It would become the hottest movie in September at any time, and no movie could shake the hegemony of this movie.
Compared to the amazing box office results, the media also praised the movie:
The story was full of imagination, and in terms of creating the atmosphere, the director was also ingenious.
The appearance of the White-Throated Long-Tailed Monkey, and every time it screamed, it would make people's hearts tremble. It was hard to imagine that this was the work of a fifteen-year-old boy. It was amazing — Los Angeles Entertainment News
The new DV recording technique gave the audience a very realistic feeling. The audience was naturally brought into the endless and dangerous tropical rainforest of Borneo.
Alright, actually, I knew that this was something that really happened. It was hard to imagine that such a wonderful story could actually happen in real life. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Every excellent story came from real life!
But compared to the story, what surprised me more was the other party's imaginative editing technique. Many people have an excellent story, but it's difficult to tell the story to everyone, but Nagini, a director who is not even 30 years old, did it.
Finally, please forgive me for exaggerating the age of this excellent young director, because after knowing the other party's real age?
I feel inferior — — New York Post
I don't want to say any words of praise, because the moment I put pen to paper, I knew that there would be a lot of people praising this movie today. But I want to say that this movie is a good representation of the American spirit.
Not abandoning, not giving up, bravely facing difficulties and selfless dedication, and the adventurous spirit in the bones, this is bound to be a movie that transcends its time — Washington Times
I'm J. Jonah James from The Daily Bugle. I don't want to say anything, I just want to say that this movie is really interesting. It made me feel fear, and I can't remember the last time I felt fear.
This is a very realistic movie. Although there are many problems in itself, this is reality, and it will never be perfect.
It's undeniable that this is the best movie in recent years. I'm looking forward to the other party's next movie — Daily Bugle
In addition to the major newspapers, the influence of the Anaconda disaster even spread to the whole of America.
Tony Stark, the president of the famous arms company Stark Group, said that he just bought a Michelin three-star hotel this week. He was looking forward to Ms. Sam coming to the hotel to try the dishes.
The socialite Ms. Kardashian publicly announced her interest in Nagini, looking forward to a good night with him. She believed that this brave Asian boy could surprise her. Of course, she could also give him a surprise, such as not being able to get out of bed the next day?
The black Godfather of Rap, Dr. Dre, laughed at himself. If Joey was not afraid of being beaten by him, he could come and talk to him about music.
All in all, starting from the middle of September, the Anaconda disaster has become the hottest craze in America in 1999.
27 million US dollars on the first day, 56 million US dollars on the second day, and more than 100 million US dollars on the third day.
In the third week of September, although the box office for this week has not been calculated yet, many Hollywood actors have said that the snake is coming. In the next month, Hollywood will be shrouded in the shadow of the Anaconda.
Nagini, who was the center of public opinion, was not as happy as everyone thought at the moment.
After the box office of the Anaconda disaster exceeded 100 million US dollars in three days, Ms. Vanessa reminded Nagini that it was better to reduce taxes. At this time, Nagini realized that although he could get a 40% share of the box office, don't forget that America has a terrible personal tax.
With the current momentum of the Anaconda disaster, the box office can definitely exceed 1 billion US dollars, and 40% of the box office is 400 million US dollars, but this does not mean that Nagini can get 400 million US dollars in the end.
Because he has to pay at least 60% of the personal tax to America. Nagini was somewhat envious of the actors and directors in the East. If he remembered correctly, the highest tax they paid was 45%.
And 60% personal tax means that Nagini has to pay at least 240 million US dollars to America.
This made Nagini's heart ache, but fortunately, America has a special tax avoidance system.
Why do rich people in America like to do charity?
It's not because they are kind-hearted, but because if they don't do charity, they can't avoid taxes reasonably.
The current situation is like this. If Nagini takes out 20% of the 400 million US dollars to charity, Nagini will have 80% left, and his personal income tax will be reduced from 60% to 40% of the 400 million US dollars.
Reasonable tax avoidance is a very interesting rule.
It seems that Nagini lost money, but in fact, he didn't lose a penny, and he also gained fame for free.
It seems that the American government lost money, but in fact, even if Nagini's personal tax was increased by 20%, the money would still be used for the same thing.
And without harming the common interests of the rich and America, letting the rich avoid taxes in the form of donations to charity can also reduce social contradictions and hatred of the rich.
It has to be said that the person who thought of the tax reduction policy is simply a genius!
Of course, although Nagini knows that he should avoid taxes reasonably, he is not a professional after all. Fortunately, because of the Anaconda disaster, many senior accounting firms have taken the initiative to contact Nagini.
After all, this is a business worth hundreds of millions of US dollars!
Nagini originally planned to look for Wilson. If he remembered correctly, he seems to have a very good accountant in his hands.
But the appearance of a little baldy yesterday disrupted Nagini's plan.
His name is Jasper Sitwell, and he is said to be an excellent accountant, but Nagini knows that the other party is actually an agent of S.H.E.L.D., and in addition to S.H.E.L.D., the other party is also a member of Hydra, the current director of S.H.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce's confidant.
So why would Hydra target him?
Nagini was a little confused, but he didn't drive the other party away.
After all, he knows the identity of the little baldy. If he drives the other party away, what if Hydra replaced him with an agent he doesn't know?
He can't ask the other party if he is a spy sent by the enemy, right?
Moreover, let Hydra help him avoid taxes reasonably?
Just thinking about it makes him feel good!
So yesterday, Nagini and the little baldy made an appointment to meet at Ms. Vanessa's house today, and asked him to help him write a reasonable tax avoidance plan.
But the moment the little baldy entered the door, Nagini's phone rang. Nagini made an apologetic gesture and skillfully answered the phone,
"Mia?
Why are you calling me?
Don't tell me you're asking me for movie tickets again. "
However, before the smile on Nagini's face disappeared, he heard Mia's trembling voice,
"Nagini, where are you?
Toledo is in the hospital, I'm so scared now … "
