As the distribution director of one of the six major Hollywood giants, Bruce Rosenblum himself is a master of film marketing. Basically, everything related to film marketing is within his business scope.

In the field of commercial films in Haolaiwu, there are several points that must not be touched. These points are something that every Hollywood film company is trying hard to avoid.

Letting actresses play the absolute protagonist in a commercial film is one of these things that cannot be touched.

In Hollywood, a place where everything focuses on data surveys, there are basically various surveys and analysis related to movies every year. A survey and analysis of two thousand movies shows that in Hollywood commercial films, male actors say more lines than actresses of the same level.

This situation is very interesting because the commercial films investigated and analyzed are not only real-life commercial films, but also animated feature films with women as the theme. However, the result is that the number of lines of male characters is at least twice that of female characters.

There is another more common phenomenon, that is, between Hollywood male and female stars of the same level, even if they are participating in the same project, they are the male and female protagonists of the project. However, the treatment they receive on the crew is very different, let alone the huge salary.

That's right, it's just that the same work is different.

Although it seemed that various social activities in Hollywood emerged later, from skin color to rice rabbits, the phenomenon of equal work and different pay has not improved much.

Even in 2015, Jennifer Lawrence, known as the "big cousin", publicly accused herself of having a different treatment on the crew and having a different pay for the same job when she collaborated on the film "American Scam".

However, the obvious discrimination, such as inequality of salary and huge difference in work benefits, has a more profound impact, which may be that everyone is accustomed to and has penetrated into the details of life.

From the moment the Hollywood script was written, all screenwriters followed a default rule, that is, no matter what kind of film, it must be mainly based on male expression and lines. Even if a woman is the absolute protagonist, it only works to highlight a male partner.

This is the case for other movies, even Disney, which mainly focuses on female fairy tales, releases animated feature films. From "The Legend of the Wind", "The Little Mermaid" to "Beauty and the Beast", there are much more male lines than women in this kind of princess movie!

What is the reason for all of this? That's right, it's the rule that Hollywood has been defaulting for decades. Women can be embellishments, but they must not be used as the main perspective, and they must not be the absolute protagonist of a commercial production.

Otherwise, what is waiting for the film company is repeating the failures that have occurred countless times in the past.

The rules have always been like this. When film company executives face the media one by one, they are full of respect for women. However, when a commercial project with a woman's perspective appears, no film company will invest a lot of money to shoot it. This is reality.

And this is the reason why "Charlie's Angels" is eye-catching. If it weren't for this project, it was entirely written, invested and produced by Wayne, even if Warner Bros. didn't invest a cent and made a fortune, he would never have released this film.

"oh my god, they're so hot."

“s**t, my heartbeat is rising sharply…”

"Wow, wow, Cameron Diaz is so sexy!"

After the movie officially began, the scenes on the plane that opened landed on the sea. In just five minutes, when the three "Charlie's Angels" appeared one by one for the first time, the chaotic whistles of male audiences and various amazement came to the back of the screening room.

When these sounds sounded, Bruce Rosenblum immediately realized something. Even though the entire camera was completely confronted by the three absolute heroines from the beginning, the male audience did not feel disgusted and became abnormally excited.

Wayne also heard the messy amaze behind him. He temporarily put down his thoughts and glanced at the three sexy hot girls who were driving on the big screen, galloping on the sea, turned to the director Joseph McKinty Nicht with satisfaction.

I have to say that this guy really has a way of shooting women. In order to show the appearance of the three protagonists, he always takes a slightly upward shot, and the camera distance is controlled just right, which firmly attracts the audience's eyes to the faces and figures of the three protagonists.

It can be said that as soon as the movie started, it caught the hearts of all male audiences, and because of this kind of camera arrangement, it stuck to the audience's attention at the beginning of the movie.

"It's a great opening, isn't it?" Wayne shrugged, looked at Naomi Watts, who was sitting beside him, and jokingly said in a low voice:

"But, all the limelight was snatched away by Cameron Diaz, and you and Angelina Jolie became foils. Look at her sweet smile, wow, and this outfit, the director wishes to chase her upper body and shoot..."

"You bastard."

The Australian actress rolled her eyes helplessly, gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Wayne, do you know? Not only do you have no adventurous spirit, but you also lack the vitality of young people. no, no, no, I missed a little. In addition to being in bed, do you have a little bit of vitality of young people?"

‘I have used up all the energy in my previous life, so just bastards. Besides, as long as I don’t be lazy in bed, I will be full of energy!’

Without saying anything, Wayne turned his eyes to the big screen again, and curled his lips in his heart to encourage himself. He ignored Naomi Watts' sarcasm. Anyway, he is just a bastard, so you can just make do with it.

In fact, the reason why he joked about Australian actresses is not completely unreasonable. Although the three heroines appeared together at the beginning of the movie, Cameron Diaz's full upper body and sweet smile attracted the attention of most people.

At this time, Cameron Diaz had become famous and had a considerable reputation among movie fans. She debuted as a child star at the age of 16. Her father is Cuban-American and her mother is Anglo-Germany. Such a "mixed-blood" made Cameron Diaz outstanding in blonde hair and blue eyes since she was a child, and since then she entered the modeling industry and made a great career.

After the big hit of "The Disguised Married", her perfect body proportions and a very unique temperament with a sweet and sexy combination, she has been the dream goddess of countless male movie fans in recent years.

Not to mention anything else, just for Cameron Diaz in "Charlie's Angels", who looks silly, sweet and likable, and with the literal meaning of Xiong Da, Wayne is sure that a large number of male fanatical fans will willingly go to the theater to buy tickets and watch movies repeatedly.

"If these three men were definitely not as effective as they are now..."

As the film was screened, the audience's admiration sounded from time to time in the screening hall, and even Bruce Rosenblum heard many male audiences swallowing saliva.

Although he had watched the video during the preview before, he still had doubts about this "meat-selling" movie without the reaction of a large number of viewers.

If Bruce Rosenblum is summed up the real highlights of "Charlie's Angels", to put it bluntly, Cameron Diaz's sweet smile and sexy temperament, Angelina Jolie's extremely spicy majestic figure and seductive lips, and Naomi Watts' white and slender thighs.

Except for the three heroines who are different, they also cover most of the male aesthetic faces and figures. At most, this video is brainless popcorn.

However, when these things cooperate with each other and present the effect on the big screen, countless men are sometimes amazed and sometimes swallowed.

Not to mention other men, even Bruce Rosenblum swallowed a secretly when he saw some shots about Angelina Jolie. However, he immediately glanced at Wayne's direction with guilt, and was relieved to make sure that no one saw his little move.

Others don't know, but he knows it very well. Wayne Greenberg seems generous and easy to talk, but under this outer skin, he has always been a small mind.

The rhythm of the entire movie "Charlie's Angels" is very compact, with only 90 minutes of a commercial film standard. Unconsciously, after the film ended, accompanied by subtitles, there were huge applause in the cinema, mixed with the screams of countless male audiences.

Especially when Naomi Watts took the lead in the curtain call, the men at the scene seemed to be in a state of fanaticism, and bursts of fierce applause continued.

"Cameron, I love you so much!"

"Hey, Naomi Watts, look at this, you're so hot."

“…”

The audience kept greeting the three heroines, and the film director Joseph McKinty Nicht became the most inconspicuous one among the curtain callers.

However, among the crowd applauding, some Hollywood industry insiders turned their attention to the film director.

"He is very good at photographing women. Well, it can be said that he has recorded the advantages of these three actresses to the extreme with cameras."

Los Angeles local film critic Todd McKinsey shook his head slightly, clapped and raised his elbow, poked his friend around him and said, "This is a smart director, very smart."

Kenneth Tulan, who was also attracted by special themes, nodded after hearing his friend's words. "The film is positioned as a brainless popcorn movie, which is very suitable for the current schedule. In addition, the acting skills of the three actresses are all qualified. When they are with this director who is very good at shooting women, the degree of excitement is at least guaranteed."

The applause gradually stopped, and thousands of viewers slowly left the stage under the guidance of the staff. The two film critics sat down and did not rush to leave the theater.

After about a few minutes, most of the fans on the scene had left the show, and Kenneth Tulan waved to the front.

"Long time no see, Kenny."

The three heroines and members of the creative team went to the premiere media conference together. Wayne saw the local Los Angeles film critic waved, smiled and patted Bruce Rosenblum's arm, and walked over with Nina.

"Hi, Todd."

Yiyi shook hands with the two film critics, and the few sat down with greetings.

"How about it, tell me what I think of this video?"

Wayne has always had a good relationship with these two people. They have also maintained a long-term cooperation with Warner Brothers, so he was not polite. After a few greetings, he spread his arms on the chair behind him, tilted his head and looked at them and asked.

The two film critics looked at each other, and Kenneth Tulan shrugged and spoke first: "First of all, the acting skills of these three actresses are more than enough for such brainless popcorn. We were still discussing just now. This director named Joseph is very smart.

Under his camera, Cameron Diaz's silly and sweet style, combined with his long legs and hips, can be said to be very popular with the audience as soon as he appears. There are Angelina Jolie's bear, her delicate face, and her charming and sexy lips. Naomi Watts' aura is like a big sister. Among these three actors, there is always one that can make the audience feel happy.

Maybe the only thing that has some problems is the action scenes. The three sisters' skills are very interesting, but the sense of wire is too serious. This is the only point that will make me feel the drama. It would be nice if I could refine it. Overall, as a summer action popcorn, this film is well-made and has clear and clear selling points. I personally am optimistic about the box office trend of this absolutely female protagonist movie."

While thinking about it, he slowly expressed his views. Kenneth Tulan gave a very high evaluation of the film. He was obviously very clear that a commercial popcorn must not be watched with the "art" perspective. This film purely pursues pleasure.

So his evaluation of the film was very objective. Although several people present understood that the positive reviews he gave were part of Wayne's face, it was understandable that it was a fool's way to pick the thorn in "Charlie's Angels" in front of Wayne.

"The groundbreaking female action movie, the whole movie captures all the beautiful women's figures. Although the action scenes are flawed, the three protagonists are very beautiful. The film brings together almost all the successful commercial elements of Hollywood, a special and alternative visual feast!"

This is the summary given by Kenneth Tulan and it is also the evaluation he is preparing to go on his column tomorrow morning.

Seeing that he gave a very high evaluation, Todd McCarthy shrugged slightly and said his opinion. "The film is funny and interesting, and it is a popcorn movie above the level."

"I hope the fans will have the same view."

Wayne smiled and shook hands with the two again, and greeted: "Warner Brothers organized a simple cocktail party to have a drink together?"

Faced with his invitation, the two film critics nodded happily, stood up and walked towards the Four Seasons Hotel not far from the theater under the leadership of the staff.

In the entire screening room, only a few staff members and Wayne and his group were left. He originally wanted to go to the second floor of the theater to watch the premiere conference and go to the hotel with the main creators of the crew. But Bruce Rosenblum suddenly received a message that made several people sit down again.

"My secretary just called me, at the banquet hall of Four Seasons Hotel..."

Bruce Rosenblum stretched out his hand, pointed to the direction of Four Seasons Hotel from a distance, and said with a slightly lowered head, "An uninvited guest, Paul Knight, the distribution director of Sony Columbia, just asked the staff about your whereabouts."

"How could he come? No..."

Upon hearing the news, Wayne frowned and muttered.

Although "Charlie's Angels" has attracted a lot of media attention this time, and many eyes in the circle are also watching the premiere, Warner Brothers did not deliberately invite any guests on the platform. It can be said that the entire premiere scene is very big, but the stars are relatively dim.

All the media attention that has arrived today has basically been focused on the three actresses. This is the distribution strategy of "Charlie's Angels".

Even the main purpose of the cocktail party held after the premiere is to entertain media representatives. If the film wants to gain more attention, it must be inseparable from this group of entertainment reporters. This is a routine operation of almost all film companies.

However, the Sony Colombia distribution director came uninvited without receiving the invitation, and the matter was obviously strange.

You know, the current Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia are still at a strife. Both sides have thrown dirty water on each other because of the competition between the films "The Flash" and "Godzilla".

"Let's go and see what this big boss of Columbia Pictures wants to do."

Rather than guessing here, it would be better to go and take a look. Wayne stood up with a smile, revealing her white teeth, but the smile on her face always reveals a hint of imperceptible ridicule.

Four Seasons Hotel is not far from the cinema. When the group just walked into the hotel lobby, Nina tilted her head and answered a phone call. Before several people were about to get on the elevator, she grabbed her boss's sleeve.

"What's wrong?"

Wayne turned around and looked at the assistant lady and asked.

“The message I just received.”

Nina raised her head, glanced at Bruce Rosenblum inadvertently, and pointed to the lounge area in the hotel lobby. "We went over and said."

"Okay, I'll go up first."

The director of Warner Bros.'s distribution was very eye-catching. Although he knew that Wayne didn't want to avoid him, he still laughed loudly and raised his legs and walked into the elevator.

The hotel lobby was coming and going. After several people sat in the rest area, Nina approached her boss's ear and whispered to report: "Sony Columbia earthquake, this morning, because of the "mistake" in the project "Godzilla", the board of directors voted no confidence to the current book Ceo Oga-ho.

It was just now that the Eye of Hollywood got the news through private channels. The incident happened very suddenly, and there was no news from Sony Columbia. So far, other companies in Hollywood should not have received any specific news."

Just as the assistant lady finished speaking, Wayne's eyes couldn't help but look at the ceiling, or to the banquet hall upstairs, and to the Sony Columbia executive who unexpectedly appeared here.

No one was stupid. When he learned this news, he almost didn't have to make a judgment. He dared to assert that it was this local North American executive who dug a big hole and buried his immediate superior.

Wayne stretched out a finger thoughtfully and pointed at the top of the hotel. "If I guess correctly, the Paul above..."

Nina nodded. "He is now the actual manager of Sony Colombia. I estimate that Sony Colombia will announce the news of the CEO replacement to the public in one week at most!"

"It's interesting..."

With a sound of Kacha, Wayne leaned against the sofa and lit a cigarette. One hand kept scratching the stubble on his chin, squinting his eyes at the crowd coming and going in the hall.

What’s going on now is obvious. When the child-general CEO began to dominate the "Godzilla" with a total investment of more than 200 million US dollars, it is highly likely that the distribution manager will start digging holes.

Many things have reasons that can be explained. Why is Sony Colombia still spending a lot of money on marketing and promotion even if Godzilla doesn’t see the hope of turning around? It’s obvious that Paul’s bewitching and the dying struggle of the descendants of the child are indispensable.

"Are we going up? boss."

Seeing Wayne going to get into a brainstorm again, Nina shook her head slightly and whispered: "I can guarantee that this current head of Colombia is definitely coming to us with strong confidence."

"We shouldn't have much contact with him."

Hearing the assistant lady's words, Wayne pressed down all doubts, got up and buttoned the suit jacket while saying, "Let's go, I'm interested in this future head of Colombia. Dear Ms. Klein, what did you think when he came to me the first night he moved his old boss?"

"Who knows..."
