hollywood draw

Pat Kingsley didn't think so, he always felt that the director was a threat.

"Tom, the videos you mentioned are more than two weeks away from our "Ambition of Earth", and only "Escape from the Deadly Town" is closest to us.

I got the news that Warner Bros. is preparing to premiere the film in mid-May, and it is basically confirmed that it will definitely crash with our video."

Tom Cruise always felt that his agent was a little fussy, so why did he have to focus on the thriller that only invested a few million dollars.

"Part, Tom's name is the guarantee of box office." Nicole Kidman put down the magazine in his hand and looked at Tom Cruise with pride. "That movie would be best to be released with "The Land Ambition", which is much better than encountering "Hometown" or "Skynet Chasing"!"

Pat Kingsley didn't say much, that's right, in this era when box office relies on superstars, the name Tom Cruise represents box office.

Universal Pictures' investment in "The Land Ambition" is much more generous than Warner Bros. In addition to Tom Cruise, this film also has Nicole Kidman, and the director is also a veteran like Lang Howard. Universal Pictures is very optimistic about the prospects of this film.

Since Top Gun, Tom Cruise has been a guarantee of the movie's top spot, and to this day, he has almost never missed any movie.

The box office appeal and influence of Hollywood's first-line superstars are definitely something that movie fans will not understand after more than ten or twenty years.

In the City of Angels, which was baked by the sun for a whole day, the temperature was finally dispelled by the cool breeze of the night. In front of the Grand Grand Theater in Hollywood, there were a group of media reporters holding long spears and short cannons.

Friday, May 14, 1992, the second weekend of May, started early this morning, "Escape from the Deadly Town" opened paintings across the United States with 2,088 cinemas.

Warner Bros. also held a small premiere for the film.

The premiere of this film did not invite other stars, only some media reporters, and there were no crowds of fans around, only a simple red carpet.

From the end of the production of the film to the present, Warner Bros. has invested promotional funds that are similar to its production cost in "Escape from the Deadly Town". The subsequent promotional and distribution plans must all be determined by the results of the film before they can be decided whether to implement them.

What made Warner Bros. difficult was Universal's "Ambition of Earth" held a grand premiere on Thursday, yesterday. In addition to the Tom Cruise, many top-tier stars also attended to help.

They have no way to change their schedules, and the summer season is coming soon. Young people in the school will have holidays. They have always been the main force in North American movie watching.

Starting this weekend, a homemade film will be released every other week. The promotional and distribution plan was made a few months ago, so there is no room for adjustment.

The silver Rolls-Royce slowly drove to the red carpet, and Wayne led Harry Berry to the red carpet together.

The reporter waiting at the entrance of the theater picked up various cameras and pointed them at the two people who were walking forward quickly. In an instant, the flashing lights shone brightly around them as daylight.

"I just received a call from the company. There don't seem to be a lot of ticket-buying fans for "Ambition of Earth". After watching the premiere, James said that the film was not as exciting as he imagined. It's not like a Tom Cruise-like movie."

Bella held a recorder and said to the photographer who was taking pictures on the red carpet.

"It seems that this small-budget movie still has hope. As long as Tom Cruise is not squeezed to death on the first weekend, the two films have different audiences, "Escape from the Deadly Town" may reach Warner's scheduled box office."

The photographer is also a veteran in the circle, so he can see the situation better. "Hurry, Bella, that young director is about to go in, let's go for an interview first."

Bella walked a few quick steps and stopped Wayne in the interview area at the entrance of the theater.

"Hello, Director Greenberg, I'm Bella Grant, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. I've interviewed you once."

Looking at the recording pen that reached in front of him, Wayne couldn't help but glance at the reporter.

She has long blonde hair, long legs and thin waist, and her white shirt in her professional suit is very high. This beautiful reporter chose the wrong industry and should be a model or an actor.

"Hello, Bella!"

He was not resistant to being interviewed. Nina followed him all the time. If a sensitive question arises, Nina will immediately remind him.

"Director Greenberg, Tom Cruise's "Ambition of the Earth" was also released today. With this powerful competitor, do you think the first weekend box office of "Escape from the Deadly Town" can meet expectations!"

After hearing the question, Nina poked Wayne gently with her hand. She reminded Wayne to answer this question carefully and try not to let the reporters provoke competition with that video.

"Of course, I have confidence in my video!" Wayne said with a smile.

"Do you think "Escape from the Deadly Town" is possible to surpass the box office of "The Land Ambition" and win the weekend championship? We all know that your last video created a miracle and won the weekly box office championship!"

Before Wayne could figure out how to answer the right answer, Nina poked him on the waist again. But he was not afraid of talking nonsense and offending people. Hollywood was competing all the time, from film companies to actors, if you were afraid of competition, you would never succeed.

"The box office champion this weekend was "Escape from the Deadly Town", and there is no chance for other films."

After Wayne finished speaking, he didn't give her a chance to ask questions again. He pulled up Harry Berry, who was laughing under the camera, and walked straight into the theater.

In this simple premiere, except for the media reporters invited, the remaining seats were filled with movie fans. There was no celebrity platform or major companies supporting this, Wayne saved the trouble of socializing and sat directly in the middle of the first row of the cinema.

Not long after, the other main creators also walked in one after another. Will Smith, Naomi Watts and other starring actors also sat in the first row and waited for the start.

"Wayne!" Will Smith called him through Naomi in the middle. "To be honest, this premiere is not as lively as I imagined."

Wayne shrugged helplessly. What can he say? Could it be that Will Smith, except Warner Bros., no one can like their small production, and no one is willing to help organize and support it?

"Will, a little patient, the final success or failure of the movie is determined by the box office, not the level of liveliness of the premiere!"

Will Smith leaned on a chair and tidied up his clothes. He thought the premiere would be a lively scene where movie fans, media, and celebrities from all walks of life came, and even deliberately wore a formal outfit.

Naomi tilted her head and stared at Harry Berry since she came in. The black girl sat quietly without saying hello to anyone.

It was not until Wayne saw it and met Naomi that she leaned to her right and whispered: "I heard something, maybe you will be interested!

"The Ambition of Earth" has a very low attendance today, and the combination of Tom Cruise Garron Howard may not meet the expected box office of Universal Pictures."

"How do you know?" Wayne looked at her in confusion, then whispered: "Don't pay attention to others, do what we should do, you must trust my abilities."

"But I still heard." Naomi Watts leaned closer and whispered in his ear. "Tom Cruise's agent Pat Kingsley wants to use some means to ensure that the film starring his client wins the box office championship."

Wayne pushed her head away and stopped her from thinking of keeping closer with her eyes. "This is not a problem you should worry about. There will be Warner Brothers to solve the problem. Do you think that Warner will make them better if they are one of the top six? What you have to worry about is the promotional roadshow that will start soon!"

Naomi rolled her eyes and hid in the chair.

Sitting on Wayne's left, Harry Berry never spoke, glanced at the corner of his eyes and sniffed a word from his mouth.

“bixxh!”

Before the lights were turned off in the theater, Wayne looked back again, and until he was sure that the huge theater was indeed filled with ordinary movie fans, he was relieved to focus on the upcoming video.

After the lights in the cinema were turned off, Bella, who was just interviewing at the door, quietly sat down in the back seat with her head down. She is a senior movie fan, and the job of a media reporter provides her with a rare convenience for watching movies, so she has to watch a new movie every time she finishes her work.

As soon as Bella sat down, light lit up in the huge curtain, and Warner Bros. The opening animation of the movie appeared. Then there was no subtitle introduction. After the director's name appeared, he immediately entered the plot of the movie.

With a sunny opening, the black guy with a passionate smile and a beautiful white girl's appearance immediately made the audience focus on the screen.

Bella knew that this combination was very unusual. The history of this country was a history of black and white confrontation. Black people had black lifestyles, while white people also had their own, and they usually did not disturb each other.

The story continues. Chris, a 26-year-old black boy, is a professional photographer with a small career. He has been very motivated and hardworking after losing his parents since childhood. He has a beautiful and gentle white girlfriend Ruth. After four months of sweet dating, Ruth invited Chris to his home as a guest.

As Ruth's first black boyfriend, Chris was a little nervous, but his girlfriend Rose told him that her parents did not discriminate against Africans, and that the town where her family is located did not discriminate against Africans.

So the black guy Chris embarked on the way home with his girlfriend, and on the way his girlfriend hit a deer because of nervousness.

"deer?"

Bella felt as if she understood the director's meaning. Although she ignored the previous details, she could be sure here that this was definitely a film from the perspective of racial issues.
