Three hundred and twentieth chapters worry about gain and loss
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
As soon as the premiere ended, Lily Collins did not leave immediately. Instead, accompanied by the driver, stood at the door of the Chiefs Stone Theater for a while. Because there was something happened temporarily, she came here late today. She did not catch up with the red carpet ceremony and did not see Matthew's familiar figure. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She waited here specifically to see if she could wait until Matthew came out.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, no one came out at the entrance of the theater, nor did he see Matthew's shadow.
"It's probably still a press conference." The driver persuaded at this time, "It's getting late, why don't we go back first?"
Lily Collins stood on tiptoe and looked into the theater, and could not see anything except a piece of light.
"Okay." Seeing that the crew had no intention of coming out for a while, Lily Collins decided to go home first and said to the driver, "Let's go."
She followed the driver into the car, and was a little depressed. After the car started, she looked at the street scene outside the car window, staring blankly, and her thoughts turned to the video she had just watched.
Matthew is really handsome, so annoying! Especially when he beats the stupid guy down, his charm value is overwhelming!
Also, the decryption process is also good. Matthew not only showed his military power, but also had a high IQ, which is much better than the most handsome teacher at Harvard West Lake School!
"This is really a good movie." Lily Collinstowing his chin and muttered to himself, "I really don't understand what those critics are thinking. With a male lead like Matthew, Isn't it enough to see him unlocking the loop and show his skill in time?"
She shook her head gently, "After this video, Matthew will be more famous? If he could interview him again, the column would definitely be more popular."
Last time, after she published the column of her interview with Matthew at the Youth Hollywood Awards, the organizer also presented a "Youth Red Carpet Reporter Award". She was quite proud of her return to the school, further consolidating the status of the eldest sister of Harvard West Lake School.
The car turned around and drove into a mansion. The Hollywood area was not far from Beverly Hills. Lily Collins came to his senses and found that he had arrived home.
When she got out of the car and entered the house, her mother obviously hadn't come back yet. Lily Collins changed into her shoes and went directly to her room upstairs. She threw down her handbag and sat in front of the computer. When the computer was turned on, she went to Matthew's blog to read it first.
There were crowds of people above, full of voices praising "National Treasure". Obviously, many people have just watched the video.
"For someone like me, Matthew's films are better than women! Well, I admit that I've lost my composure..."
Lily Collins rolled his eyes and continued to look at the message board.
"Matthew's new film is really attractive. In addition to the still outstanding action scenes, he is also closely linked to the decryption."
"Actually, I like Matthew's movies very much. Although I always think he looks weird, too rough, like a savage..."
Seeing this, Lily Collins wrinkled his nose, "You idiot, you don't know how to appreciate it!"
Then, she closed her blog and went to several other movie review websites to read it.
Lily Collins was influenced by her family and knew Hollywood better than ordinary girls. After reading several websites, she found that the reputation of "National Treasure" was completely polarized.
Professional reputation is a bad review.
"Matthew Horner's performance is fine, and the plot is roughly fine, but why did my mood never have big ups and downs, unexpected surprises, or fresh feelings when watching the film? Although it was so many years later than the Indianagainst Jones, it was far from the wonderfulness of the latter. It was too underestimated the audience's IQ and just followed the routine of commercial films. In fact, I was very dedicated to watching it, but I didn't feel happy until the end, and I was just that breath."
Of course, she also saw some film critics saying good things.
"National Treasure is a film full of passion and motivation, and it also fully demonstrates the unique wild charm of Matthew Horner."
Compared with professional reputation, movie fans' evaluations are much better.
"The story is linked one by one, the rhythm is clear, the battle between the protagonist and the villain is also very exciting, the details have humorous points to relieve tension, Matthew Horner is worthy of being the most popular young star today!"
Lily Collins looked through several websites where movie fans gathered and found that viewers who had watched the video all recognized the film and recognized the male lead Matthew.
She sat in front of the computer, thought for a while, then re-entered Matthew's blog and left a message on it.
"This film has both intellectual games that advance layer by layer, as well as thrilling action chases and fights. The treasure hunting scene is grand and shocking. Even the second male lead who is responsible for adjusting the atmosphere is very cute. It is hard to imagine that Matthew will be very suitable for this kind of role. It seems that Matthew's acting and acting skills are still very guaranteed!"
After sending this, Lily Collins turned off the computer.
In another mansion that was not very far away, Robert Eiger was not sleeping yet and was sitting in the study waiting patiently.
Nowadays, Walt Disney is in full swing and internal struggles are constantly coming, and he has also joined in it.
Michael Eisner is questioned by shareholders and is in a bad situation. Maybe at any time, the shareholders' meeting will vote for distrust. Once this happens, it means that the giant aircraft carrier Walt Disney needs a new helm.
Robert Iger wanted to argue.
Although he was promoted from AB TV by Michael Eisner and has always been Michael Eisner's right-hand man and staunch supporter, when such a good opportunity appears, it is definitely false to say that there is no idea.
As a professional manager, it is definitely a dream to be able to master the rudder of Walt Disney.
Moreover, over the past year, he has done a lot of work in private and gradually entered the core level of the Walt Disney Board of Directors. He is also known within the group for his professional ethics and frank and fair style. As long as he can maintain the performance of Disney Pictures with good actual control, he will not be without the opportunity to replace him with Michael Eisner.
This summer, the tragic defeat of "King Arthur" gave him a blow. If "National Treasure", which is also invested in "The Treasure of the Country", will be in vain again, many plans will be lost.
It is conceivable that if even a small Disney Pictures cannot operate well, why do those shareholders and directors believe that they can bring glory to Walt Disney again?
To be honest, he was a little worried that the production style of Jerry Brookheimer's film was to a certain extent, and his style was widely accepted by the market before, but "King Arthur" produced under the same model failed miserably at the box office, which makes people wonder if the audience is tired of this monotonous style.
"King Arthur" was not well received at the beginning of the preview, and the professional reputation of the audition for "National Treasure" was also bad, which gave Robert Iger a very bad psychological hint.
Even though the pre-sale and estimated data were good, he couldn't help but worry before seeing the actual box office figures.
After all, the estimate is very good. There are big-time movies with a box office defeat. "Van Helsing" in May this year is a typical example of this.
If "National Treasure" encounters a "King Arthur"-like defeat, he really needs to consider Disney Pictures' next collaboration prospects with Jerry Brookheimer.
Even if Jerry Brookheimer is a gold medal producer and failed in two consecutive super-major productions, it proves that the market has problems with his style acceptance, and Disney Pictures should consider giving up on him and his studio.
There are also actors, "National Treasure" has problems, and the protagonist Matthew Horner...
Just now, the fax machine in the study started and a fax was sent over. Robert Eiger stood up, walked over and picked up the fax and took a look, and shook his head with a smile. He was a little worried about gains and losses.
"National Treasure" had a box office of 6.2 million US dollars in advance! Based on past experience, 99% of the box office in the first weekend could reach the expected $40 million US dollars.
As for Matthew Horner whom I just thought of, Robert Iger felt that the idea was too absurd. During the on-site audience survey by the investigative agency hired by Disney Pictures, more than 60% of the audiences bought tickets in advance to enter the venue. The most important reason was that they went for Matthew Horner.
In other words, at least half of the box office in advance were brought directly by Matthew Horner.
Although the proportion of audience fans in advance is far higher than the average number after the official release, it is enough to prove the appeal that Matthew Horner brings to the film.
This appeal can be directly transformed into Disney Pictures' commercial benefits.
Robert Eiger sat back on the chair, looked at the data on the fax file again, confirming that Jerry Brookheimer was still valuable, and then he still had to win over the situation.
He had no intention of rest, staring at the data and thinking about how to avoid such a tragic defeat as "King Arthur".
Suddenly, Robert Iger thought of something. Jerry Brookheimer invited Matthew Horner to play King Arthur, but he was rejected by Matthew Horner because of a conflict with the filming period of "Dawn of the Living Dead".
This year, "Dawn of the Living Dead" has a big box office hit, "King Arthur"...
Judging from the appeal shown by Matthew Horner, if he had taken over "King Arthur", the box office of the film might not have been as bad as it is now.
Robert Eiger sighed, and his face gradually showed a thoughtful look. Is Matthew Horner the most appealing among the generation of actors born in the 75th and early 80th years? It seems that the movie he starred in has never lost the box office.
