Hollywood Drawing

During the screening of the entire movie, Wayne has been observing the reactions of these ordinary movie fans, and at least he has confirmed one thing, that is, the movie did not appear to be unaccustomed to the environment.

As long as there are not too many problems, he believes that success has begun to wave to him again.

"Aren't you going to attend the press conference?" John suddenly remembered that Wayne, the film director, also undertakes the task of promoting the film.

"I don't need it today. The media stage is owned by Will Smith and the other actors, but I will participate in the promotion with the group from tomorrow. If you have any situation, please call me."

After the film was released, he would quickly bring the crew to the film's promotional activities according to the plan designated by Warner Bros.

Wayne, as the film's second producer, director, and a ladder-sharing agreement with Warner Bros., had to do his best to promote it. The higher the North American box office of the film, the more revenue it means.

He and John sat in the lounge for a while, and went out to find Harry-Berry. Wayne wanted to go back to rest early. Now he only has to consider the promotion of the film besides waiting for the box office statistics.

"Director Greenberg, don't you think the **** scenes at the end of the film are very large?"

Before he and Halle Berry got into the car, two reporters ran over and asked loudly. "Will such a large-scale **** scene have an unnecessary impact on young people and students?"

He ignored the reporter, opened the car door and let Black Pearl sit in before turning around to answer.

"This is a thriller, and the film does have large-scale shots, so the MPAA gave it an R rating!"

After speaking, he got into the car and told Sergey to leave immediately. This reporter is obviously sent by the gossip tabloids to find trouble, otherwise they would not have asked him these questions. Larger media and newspapers generally give Warner Bros. a bit of face.

"Are we going back now?" Halle Berry looked back at the theater, her eyes were full of jealousy when all the media reporters went to interview the actors.

"Yes, you will go to the publicity event with me tomorrow, and go back to rest early today."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested on the large sofa.

Also with his eyes closed, there was Tom Cruise resting on the sofa. After yesterday's grand premiere, "Ambition in the Land" has been shown in theaters for a whole day.

But the news that Pat told him was not very good. The attendance rate was not high during the day on Friday, and it might be the reason for the working day, but he heard that even after dark, the attendance rate of the theater did not increase much.

Tom Cruise opened his eyes and glanced at the time. It's just past ten o'clock, and he will have to wait a while longer.

"Pat, how are things going?" He picked up the phone and called his agent.

"The $2 million has been spent!" Pat Kingsley's voice came from the receiver. "However, Tom, based on the observations of the Universal Investigator in the theater, the $2 million won't do much. I suggest to stop the follow-up investment."

"Let's take a look at the box office on the first day!"

Tom Cruise hung up the phone, lowered his head and began to consider whether he should continue to invest. I'm afraid that no matter how much box office I buy, I won't be able to bring the enthusiasm of the fans!

That's right, the moment he noticed that the movie's attendance was not right, he began to think of a way to change the situation. It was not the first time to buy the box office of the movie he starred in. This was an expensive and quick-response method.

The public has a herd mentality. He thinks that as long as "Ambition of the Earth" can win the box office championship, this film can still be saved.

Time passed by ticking, just as Tom Cruise was leaning on the sofa and was about to fall asleep, Nicole Kidman walked over quickly with a fax.

"Tom! The rough box office statistics are out!" She pushed her husband, and after seeing him open his eyes, she put the fax in her hand on the coffee table.

"How about the box office, read it for me, you know." Tom Cruise rubbed his face vigorously and pointed to the fax sent by Universal Pictures.

"Ambition of the Earth opened today in 2,538 theaters, with an average of 2,538 theaters."

"Tell me about the box office, Nicole!!"

Hearing her husband's irritable voice, she turned her eyes directly to the end. "Ambition of the Earth, according to rough statistics, made $9.98 million at the box office on its first day."

This figure can only be said to be very general, a little less than what Tom Cruise and Universal expected. Don't forget, he himself invested 2 million US dollars.

In Hollywood in the early 1990s, the release cycle of each film was still relatively long, and the growth in box office numbers was relatively slow. Unlike thirty years later, the first-week box office can't wait to account for more than half of the film's total box office.

So this figure is acceptable. On Saturday and Sunday, if the box office can grow steadily and reach the $30 million expected by Universal Pictures, it will not be difficult.

"Okay, rest early!" After hearing the familiarity with the box office on the first day, Tom Cruise put down half of his heart and asked his wife to go to rest together.

"Wait, Tom." Nicole Kidman waved the printer paper in her hand with an ugly face. "And some other news, bad news!

According to Universal Pictures, the R-rated thriller "Get Out" was second only to our "Ambition" on its first day at the box office, with a whopping $9.75 million! "

"Aha?" Tom Cruise woke up instantly, took the fax from his wife and read it carefully. "It shouldn't be, how is that possible? I'll call Pat and ask her to find out what's going on?"

Nicole Kidman understands why he is excited, so it seems that if he hadn't bought the box office himself, "Ambition" would have lost to a low-budget thriller!

Although the box office figures on this fax are not necessarily accurate, they are not too different.

She herself was also very surprised. When she thought that her fellow Australian might become famous through this film, her mood instantly became even more unpleasant!

"Nicole, I found the reason!" Tom Cruise hung up the phone, rubbed his temples with his hands, and said helplessly.

"What? How did that film do it?" Nicole Kidman was also very puzzled. It stands to reason that the first choice for fans must be "Ambition to the Land", which has a superstar.

"African Americans and ethnic minorities." He threw the phone aside and leaned on the sofa tiredly.

The hype effect of Warner Bros. is very obvious, and it played an obvious role on Friday.

Through communication with various theater companies in advance, the theater companies that released "Get Out" in North America today all have additional screenings in theaters near minority communities, and Warner's film copies are also specially given to these theaters. Sent some more.

These African-American communities exist in major cities in North America, and they are generally located in the city center. Unlike white communities, these communities where ethnic minorities gather are basically slums.

When people of color choose entertainment, watching a movie is definitely the last choice.

But this film is different. Through the long-term reports of Warner Bros.'s media and the bottomless stories of various gossip tabloids, most black people pay attention to this film.

The main actors of this film are black people, especially Will Smith. Although he is not well-known in the film circle, he is very popular in the rap circle. He just won the Grammys not long ago.

The main entertainment of black people is rap, which cannot be shaken by any form of entertainment. Among these compatriots, Will Smith has a huge appeal.

These black compatriots rarely walked into the theater to buy tickets to support their idols.

There is also the director of the film. The director of this film has a black girlfriend, which is also quite rare.

And this director is willing to use black people to star in the film, and has used more than one, which makes Wayne very popular among these black groups.

Under Warner's propaganda offensive, young people in various black communities walked into the theater for the first time, wanting to see what kind of film it was.

And this is just the beginning. When these black people who have seen the film for the first time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ return to their communities, schools, and neighborhoods, they will share this film with their friends, family and classmates.

Just because in this famous novel, the black male protagonist finally killed all the white people!

The reason is simple, but powerful enough to support these glass-hearted groups and go to the cinema together for a carnival.

In fact, both Warner Bros. and Wayne underestimated the influence of propaganda in the black community. It was not until the next day when Wayne led the team to New York to promote the film.

For the same promotional event as last time, Warner Bros. held a fan meeting in Times Square, New York.

But today's fan meeting. However, the New York police were faced with a formidable enemy. In two hours, three additional police officers were urgently dispatched.

In the end, the city government sent a large team of explosion-proof special police to the police's cry for help.

Wayne was also a little stunned when he saw the dark crowd under the stage. The square was crowded with fans, shouting the names of the actors loudly. Wayne felt that it was the black buddies who were confused.

Among all movie fans, black people account for at least one-third, which is definitely a large group of time bombs.

The host was also afraid that something might go wrong, so she hurried to Wayne to interview the director in advance, and asked if the event would be completed quickly. She couldn't bear to look at the crowd of police officers who were squeezed.

"Director Greenberg, fans all want to know, when will you and Miss Halle-Berry get engaged?"

The host handed him the microphone and pointed to the audience under the stage covertly.

"Harry and I have a very stable relationship now, and I would like to thank the fans for their concern, but we have discussed it, and for the time being, we will focus on our careers. After all, we are still too young!"

Wayne's answer is very common, these are all communicated in advance.
