Chapter 338: Persimmons must be picked softly
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Bang-Bang-Bang-
The sound of the window glass knocking sounded, and Holk, who was dozing in the car, woke up immediately and looked out, and saw his partner standing in front of the car window with a cup of coffee.
He quickly lowered the window, took the paper cup of coffee handed over by his partner, opened it and asked, "Did Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron come out of the hotel?"
The person outside the car shook his head, "No."
Holk opened the car door and got out of the car, looked around, and there seemed to be many peers guarding here last night.
The sun had risen. He put on a pergola in his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight and looked at the entrance of the hotel. Someone came out one after another, but the two familiar figures were not seen.
"The same man..." Holk shook his head, and said in a very indignant manner, "Matthew Horner was having sex with the Oscar Best Actress in the hotel's luxurious suite. We could only blow the cold wind outside for a night."
This is a big gap in enjoyment.
"It's out!"
Someone shouted, and Holk also saw two familiar figures coming out of the hotel door. He immediately threw away the paper coffee cup in his hand, grabbed the camera hanging on his neck, and ran over at a sprint of 100 meters. In just a few seconds, he chose the right shooting angle, picked up the camera, aimed the lens at Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron who had just walked out of the hotel, and kept pressing the shutter.
In the footage captured, Charlize Theron is radiant and Matthew Horner is in high spirits. He saw that he did not do good things last night.
Holk cursed while filming, "What a dog's man and woman."
The photos of Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron entering the hotel at the same time, and now they are photographed leaving the hotel hand in hand, which confirms that the two of them have checked in together after the Oscars last night.
The hard work of this night can be exchanged for one or two thousand dollars. After all, the parties involved are Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron.
At the entrance of the hotel, Matthew and Charlize Theron got into the car together.
"Where are you going?" asked Charlize Theron, "send you back first."
Matthew stretched and said directly to the driver, "Go to the Angel Agency in Burbank."
The driver started the car, Charlize Theron rose to the baffle, and Matthew asked, "Why don't you wait for me at the Angels Agency? I'll get something and go back to my house together?"
Charlize Theron said coldly, "Isn't it enough for you tossed for so long last night? I'm tired and want to go back to bed."
In fact, one night in Munich, the two of them got together after drinking too much. (Because of river crabs)
The car quickly left the Hollywood area, and Matthew changed the subject. Although he had a good impression of Charlize Theron, he did not forget the serious matter and said, "Don't forget that we will go to see the house together in a few days."
These are all planned, and of course Charlize Theron would not object, asking, "Don't most of your money buy stocks? Do you still have money to buy a house?" x2
"You can get a mortgage." Matthew really doesn't have much money on hand. "The Pirates of the Caribbean sequel will start filming soon, and it won't be more than mid-April at the latest, and Disney Pictures will pay me my first pay."
Charlize Theron thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back and check the schedule. I'll notify you when I have time."
"Yes." Matthew greeted in advance, "the areas of interest are Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Valley and Malibu Beach."
"It's okay." Charlize Theron didn't care, "You are the one who bought the house."
Matthew reminded, "Don't forget, Sally. You are the hostess."
Charlize Theron did not comment, and the car quickly stopped in front of the Angel's agency. After Matthew got off the car, she did not let the driver go immediately. She watched Matthew's tall figure walk towards the small building, with doubts and complexity flashing in her eyes.
She reached out and rubbed her face. Do you really want to be Matthew's girlfriend?
Lowering the baffle, Charlize Theron waved his hand at the driver. The driver started the car and left. She watched Matthew's figure disappear at the door of the building and decided to take one step at a time.
Anyway, she never thought about getting married...
When he entered the Angel Agency, Helen Hermann was not there. Matthew greeted her assistant and took out the advertising script sent by Mercedes-Benz from the information room.
After confirming that Michael Bay was the director of the new advertisement, the filming was carried out at the Disney Studios in Los Angeles, Michael Bay also began to actually participate in the planning of the advertisement. He negotiated with the advertising director of Mercedes-Benz, completely rejected the previous script and set up a new advertising script himself.
The previous advertising scripts were not many pages, and the script Matthew had just got was a pitiful page, and the text on them was extremely limited, so it was impossible to tell what Michael Bay wanted to shoot.
Based on his speculation, it is estimated that Michael Bay will not be able to truly determine the content of the advertisement until the filming day and then talk to him, the actor, on-site.
Some directors do not like to talk about the drama and like to let the actors do it according to their respective understanding of the script; some directors like to explain clearly and let the actors shoot according to the director's intentions.
As far as Matthew knows, Michael Bay belongs to the latter type.
When he left the Angels Agency, Matthew took away some newspapers from the front hall. As expected, he and Charlize Theron appeared on the Oscar red carpet and officially announced them together, grabbing many pages, especially some tabloids focusing on entertainment gossip, and put photos of the two kissing affectionately in the interview area on the front page headlines.
When he got home, he looked online again. News about him and Charlize Theron going to a hotel to check in after the Oscars ceremony has been circulating everywhere on the Internet.
This has successfully attracted a lot of attention.
And the related hype is not over.
A week later, tmz revealed that Matthew and Charlize Theron were looking at houses in Beverly Hills together, preparing to buy a luxury house to build a love nest together.
Then, another newspaper said that the two might get married after the co-starring "The Smiths" was released in North America.
Due to the gossip between Matthew and Charlize Theron, the popularity of the two-star scene spreading wildly with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie last year, the starring of "The Smiths" has also attracted the attention of a large number of movie fans.
Among the most popular blockbusters in the summer season counted by a website after the Oscars, "Mrs. Smith" ranked third, second only to "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" and "War of the World" directed by Spielberg, it suppressed the restarted versions of popular films such as "Batman" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
Of course, if "Mr. and Mr. Smith" wants to sell well at the box office, it is very important to promote and marketing, but the film must also ensure a certain quality. Otherwise, the summer season where large-scale commercial movies are released almost every weekend will definitely be submerged in the vast ocean of films.
The film, which was invested by Tempest Entertainment, initially wanted to be released to Twentieth Century Fox, but Tempest Entertainment wanted to release the film in the first half of May, but Tempest Entertainment would release "Dynasty of the Heavens" in early May, and in mid-May, "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" was released. It is impossible to invest too much resources on an external release film.
In the second half of last year, with the matchmaking of Helen Hermann, Pinfeng Entertainment and Aziva Gossman reached a distribution agreement with Universal Pictures, where Universal Pictures was responsible for the North American and overseas distribution of "Mr. Smiths".
The release date of "Mr. Smith" in North America is scheduled for May 13. This weekend schedule is quite ideal. There are no strong films released on the same weekend. The only one that was released on a slightly larger scale is "The Tiger Out of the Cage".
The film is written and produced by Luc Besson, starring Jeter Lee from the East, and the production cost is also $45 million.
However, Tingfeng Entertainment and Universal Pictures obviously did not take "The Tiger Out of the Cage" seriously.
In fact, the films directed by Luc Besson have not had a good box office in the North American film market, and the biggest hit is unique.
The main competitors of Mr. and Mrs. Smith are on the previous weekend and the next weekend.
The previous weekend, 20th Century Fox's investment production, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Orlando Bloom, "Dynasty of the Heavenly Kingdom", will be released on time; the next weekend, George Lucas' "Star Wars Prequel: Revenge of the Sith" will perform the masterpiece of the Skywalker family.
Originally, Matthew wanted to tentatively ask if he could adjust the schedule to Memorial Day holiday, because he had no impression of "The Longest Code" released on the weekend, and probably not a particularly popular movie.
But this attempt ended in failure. He was just an actor, neither invested nor served as a producer, and had no say in terms of release date.
Of course, Aziva Gosman also explained to him that it is more than ten times more risky to encounter a rugby-themed film starring Adam Sandra on the same weekend than to encounter a movie like "The Tiger Out of the Cage" on the same weekend.
With many weekend schedules pouring in commercial masterpieces with a certain size, of course, persimmons have to be picked and pinched.
July is a less competitive weekend schedule, but Universal Pictures and Pinnacle Entertainment cannot push "Mrs. Smith" to such a far-reaching timeliness. Any gossip is timely. By July, even if Matthew and Charlize Theron have any scandals, they will not be as effective as May, which has not yet disappeared.
The entire hype plan is linked one by one, and it is impossible to delay for such a long time, otherwise it will definitely affect the effectiveness of publicity and hype.
Universal Pictures and Pinnacle Entertainment have a clear strategy, using intensive publicity and hype to mobilize the popularity and attention of fans and potential audiences as much as possible, so that most people can go to the theater to buy tickets in the first week.
Moreover, based on market estimates and feedback from multiple parties, "The Revenge of the Sith" is not as terrible as imagined. "The War of the Clone" has disappointed countless people to the extreme with George Lucas. "The Revenge of the Sith" will definitely be dragged down by the previous work.
