Chapter 368 Please respect yourself
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
The last weekend of May, the Memorial Day holiday in the United States, has just passed. This weekend, two large-scale films "Madagascar" and "The Longest Code" were released. The former is the masterpiece of DreamWorks Animation Studio after "Monster Shrek" and has a wide audience; the latter is an American football movie, which is also a major category of themes in this land of North America.
Hearing Bella Anderson's words, Matthew didn't raise his head and said directly, "Forward an email to me."
In just half a minute, he received a data statistics email from Universal Pictures. After clicking it, he quickly browsed it.
Influenced by the opening of the two new films "Madagascar" and "The Longest Code", although the number of screening theaters in "The Smiths" has not decreased, the rehearsal rate has decreased significantly. The average daily rehearsal rate last weekend fell to only 15%.
This is an inevitable thing. Most viewers are fed up with the old and the old. It is normal for newly released videos to dominate the screening.
Although the screening has declined, the engagement storm between Matthew and Charlize Theron is still there, and the trend of the film is still stable. On the third weekend, it took another $21.8 million from the North American market. Together with the $16.5 million gained in the previous four working days, the North American box office of "Mrs. Smiths" exceeded $200 million in one fell swoop, reaching a total of $21.4 million.
Overseas, "Mr. Smiths" won another $66.8 million, and the global box office of the film has reached a figure of $378.2 million.
Universal Pictures also adjusted its North American box office expectations to $250 million, and its global box office increased to $500 million.
Compared with "Mr. Smith", "Danny Wolf Dog" released at the same time dropped out of the top ten North American box office rankings in just three weeks. "Dynasty of Heaven" is also in a very bad situation. After earning $2.3 million this week, the cumulative box office in North America exceeded $30 million. Whether it can exceed $40 million in the end depends on luck.
The champion of the North American box office rankings this weekend was snatched by "The Longest Size" for $58.6 million. The theme of American football has always been very marketable in North America. "The Revenge of the Sith" failed to achieve a consecutive championship and ranked second with $55.2 million; the newly released "Madagascar" stood in third with a score of $47.22 million; "Mr. Smiths" ranked fourth with a weekend income of $21.8 million.
In the following weekend, "The Iron Fist Man" starring Russell Clow and Renee Zellweger will be released, and the other weekend will be the Warner Bros. "Batman", which will basically be released without any powerful films every weekend.
Matthew also knew very well that at this stage of screening of "Mrs. Smiths", large-scale publicity has basically stopped. What Universal Pictures and Pinfeng Entertainment want to do is to try their best to keep the subsequent trend of "Mrs. Smiths" stable without a cliff-like big drop.
But Bella Anderson turned off the computer, packed up his briefcase, and carried a large file bag, stood up and said to Matthew, "I'm going to Helen's office to discuss with her about the fan organization."
Matthew waved his hand, "Go."
When Bella Anderson left, Matthew was the only one left in the huge office. After looking through the documents for a while, the phone rang. The British actor named Bill Ney called to express his gratitude.
Matthew was kind enough to say a few words, and before he could close the phone, the office door was suddenly knocked from outside.
"Please come in." Matthew said casually.
The door was pushed open from outside, and a black woman with long wavy hair walked in. She turned around and closed the door, smiled and said to Matthew, "Hello."
The woman's skin is dark and wearing a white suspender-fitting dress, highlighting the toned figure of a black woman.
Matthew confirmed that he didn't know her. He just rented an office on this building, and there were other companies on the same floor. He subconsciously thought that the black female had found the wrong place.
He has never had black friends, and what he has seen and heard in recent years has also kept him away from his black peers.
"Who are you looking for?" Matthew asked directly.
The black female smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Horner."
Hearing this, Matthew immediately realized that the black woman had found nothing wrong.
The black female introduced herself at this time, "My name is Naomi Harris, and she is an actor from the UK."
"Actor?" Matthew nodded and asked directly, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Naomi Harris pointed to a chair not far from Matthew's desk and asked, "Can I do it?"
Matthew frowned slightly and said, "Sit as you like."
Walking to the chair, Naomi Harris sat down, shook his long wavy hair behind his head, revealing his carefully decorated face.
However, in Matthew's eyes, there was nothing else to see except black.
"Miss Harris." Matthew didn't want to see a black female pose here, reminding him, "If you have something to do, please tell me."
Naomi Harris glanced at Matthew and suppressed the displeasure that rose in his heart. After all, he had something to ask for and said, "Can I call you Matthew?"
Matthew didn't care about sympathy or something, and said casually, "Yes."
Naomi Harris laughed and said, "Matthew, please call me Nami."
Matthew realized something and continued to ask calmly, "Then Nami, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
"I am an actor, an actor who is not famous yet." Naomi Watts saw Matthew's vague impatient and quickly said, "I participated in the audition for "Pirates of the Caribbean" some time ago, and I will be held in the final round of makeup audition."
She looked at Matthew, with pleading in her eyes.
Matthew didn't take this trick at all, and said lightly, "Miss Harris, you found the wrong place. I'm just an actor and have no say in the personnel of the crew." He changed into a formulaic voice, "I'm very sorry, I can't help you."
"Isn't that true?" Looking at the person opposite him talking lies with his eyes open, Naomi Harris said with a smile, "My audition role is Tia Dalma. If the news I got is correct, you recommend Eva Green to director Gore Vibinski. Now Eva Green will almost win 100%.
"You're talking about this." Matthew was not embarrassed at all. He just thought the black actor was quite strange. He came here to beg him and exposed him in person. He seemed a little unpredictable in doing things, right?
He has very little contact with black people and has limited knowledge of this group. However, according to the situation in the Hollywood circle, the mentality of black people is sometimes a bit strange.
"I just said hello to Gore." With Matthew's face, he naturally said whatever he wanted. "I didn't interfere in the audition. Maybe Gore thinks Eva Green is more suitable for that role."
Naomi Harris looked at Matthew and didn't speak for a long time. He just felt that the big star opposite had a much better ability to tell lies than him.
"As far as I know, Eva Green is not a friend of you." Naomi Harris shook his hair and suddenly asked, "Matthew, what did Eva Green give you? Can you help him like this?"
Without waiting for Matthew to answer, she stood up, "Eva Green can give you what you can, I can give you too."
Hearing this, Matthew knew that the black actor had obviously thought it was wrong, and he was too lazy to explain, so he said directly, "Sorry, Miss Harris, I still have work to work."
Naomi Harris seemed not to understand Matthew's words of seeing off the guests, and stepped forward and said, "Matthew, I'm not kidding. Eva Green can give you, I can give you more."
She knew very well that she had no persuasion in her empty words. She came here this time to sleep with Matthew Horner. She also believed that her skills and super combat power in front and back could definitely sleep with Matthew Horner, and let her help her get the role of the witch Tia Dalma.
So, Naomi Harris took another step forward, pulled down the strap on the left side of the dress, revealing half of his black chest, and shouted directly at Matthew, "come.on!"
Matthew glanced at her and withdrew his eyes, lacking any interest, and said, "Miss Harris, please respect yourself."
Naomi Harris was stunned for a moment, then thought Matthew was pretending to be hypocritical, so he reached out and pulled down the suspender on the other side, revealing a dark piece.
Matthew didn't wait for her to speak, and said first, "Miss Harris, if you do this again, I can only call the security guard to come and take you away."
Then he emphasized, "Please respect yourself!"
"Well……"
Naomi Harris was really stunned this time, and the person on the other side was obviously not polite.
How is this possible? She couldn't understand at all. After entering Hollywood, she used it several times. Is this person a homosexual and turned a blind eye to a black beauty like her...
Matthew said again, "Miss Harris, I still have work to work." He was afraid that this black actor with a different brain circuit than that of ordinary people would not understand, so he said directly, "You can leave, don't waste your time."
Naomi Harris came to his senses and confirmed that Matthew was very firm in his attitude. He slowly pulled on the suspender in his dress and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just leaving like this? It would be too much of a failure. Why did the methods of getting the role before have no effect?
She was not willing to leave like this. Her agent Ronald analyzed for her that projects like "Pirates of the Caribbean" with investments of more than $200 million are almost guaranteed to be successful. It is very rare in Hollywood. Even if you play a supporting role, the benefits you can get are difficult to calculate.
In the past, whenever she took off her clothes, she could always get the role smoothly.
