"The Daily Show on Comedy Center Channel, Nbc Channel's Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live, CBS's Evening Show, and Oprah Winfrey personally sent us the fourth invitation to the Oprah Show...."

Listening to the assistant lady's report, Wayne hid on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his mouth and waved tiredly. Since he was able to stay in Los Angeles for not much time, it means that he didn't have much time to participate in the promotion of the movie, countless programs wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to invite him on the show.

As we all know, Wayne never likes to be on various shows, and he doesn't like to accept frequent media interviews. The only time that makes him willing to show up is the promotional period before and after the release of his movie.

"Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair magazine, also hopes that you can take time to accept their interview." Nina looked through the stack of invitation letters and invitations in her hand, looked up at her slightly tired boss, and her mouth twitched a few times.

If others saw Wayne's missed appearance, they would definitely be exhausted by the work at hand because of this "workaholic".

But when recalling the inexplicable movements last night, Nina didn't see it like that. Naomi Watts went to New Zealand for several months this time, and the two people who hadn't met for a long time were obviously crazy. In addition to their understanding of these two, Nina had every reason to believe that her boss had indulged too much.

"Good morning, Nina, ha..."

At this moment, Naomi Watts was wearing only a loose home suit, covering her mouth and yawning, while walking down the stairs. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Hi, Nami."

The assistant lady shrugged, and after watching the lazy woman sitting beside her, she simply took off her shoes and curled up on the sofa. She had to tease helplessly: "It's almost 11 o'clock now, maybe, you can consider enjoying lunch directly. I need me to tell Hira, do you want a glass of lemonade? That thing is good for your throat..."

"Hmm, a great offer..."

Facing Nina's teasing, Naomi Watts waved his hand lazily. He glanced at the same sluggish man sitting opposite him. The Australian girl rolled her eyes. Obviously, she knew that they were too indulgent last night, and those strange movements were likely to be heard by Nina.

He picked up the invitation letter on the coffee table and Naomi Watts asked casually: "So many invitations? Hey, boy, you have become a hot topic in talk shows, why are all invitations of this type?"

Wayne spitted out a large cloud of green smoke, leaned forward on his upper body, picked up the coffee and slung back into the sofa, and said in a rather self-deprecating tone: "Because such a program is the fastest, they know that I don't have much time to participate in the promotion. So, what you see is all deleted by Warner Bros. and then screened by Nina."

There is one thing that no one can deny. The talk show column is the most watched TV program. During the film promotion period, it was also one of the favorite platforms of film companies and one of the favorite promotion channels for celebrities.

Because of its very high efficiency and outstanding self-marketing attributes, it is deeply loved by most celebrities.

“The Daily Show, The Tonight Show, And Saturday Night Live?”

Looking through the invitation letters casually, Naomi Watts murmured in a low voice. "Damn, Oprah's b***h is not giving up? How many times has this been invited to her show?"

"The fourth time, or the fifth time?" Nina shook her head. Even she knew very well that her boss had a little chance of making it on other talk shows, but "Oprah Talk Show" had no possibility at all. Even if it was the talk show ranked No. 1 in North America, it wouldn't work.

As we all know, more than 95% of the viewership groups faced by "Opra's Talk Show" are middle-aged women, which is not the main potential audience of Wayne's movies. In addition, Oprah's special hosting method naturally does not attract Wayne's favor.

No matter what kind of celebrity you are, as long as you appear on "Oprah Talk Show", there will basically be a necessary process.

Oprah will first use detailed investigations in the early stage and through various means to reveal the most vulnerable scars of the guests on the show. Then, in front of the live broadcast camera, he will present his "full" hug to touch the guests who have just been exposed.

This set of pua-like clever methods were played with by Oprah Winfrey and used them in different ways for many years.

"Bruce Rosenblum means that I hope you think about "The Daily Show."

Seeing Naomi Watts looking through these things, Nina didn't care about her anymore, and continued to look at Wayne sitting opposite her, reporting: "Time Warner and Viacom joined forces to acquire the Comedy Center channel together, so it should be a Time Warner executive who greeted Bruce Rosenblum."

"Actually, "Saturday Night Live is not bad," Naomi Watts gently shook an invitation letter and said casually: "Wonder Woman's results should be good today. If you can promote it through "Saturday Night Live", tomorrow's results will be more guaranteed."

He glared at the Australian girl fiercely. Wayne didn't answer her words, looked at the assistant lady and asked, "What do you think, Nina."

Who knew that Nina suddenly smiled, reached out her hand, clicked on the invitation letters on the coffee table, and said unexpectedly: "We don't go any of them, we pushed them all."

“What?”

Naomi Watts widened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why, these shows have very high ratings and are very useful for movie promotion..."

"Then let's push them all." Before Nina could explain, Wayne nodded and said.

“Ok.”

Nina turned her head and pointed to Naomi Watts' eyes first, then pointed at Wayne again, explaining: "Nami, hey, look here. The man opposite you is Wayne Greenberg, you have to understand the meaning of this name.

Yes, many celebrities have no chance to play these shows. But in reality, including "Opra Talk Show", these shows are completely incompatible with the boss's status. Now, going on such shows will only lose the boss's style."

"That movie promotion?"

“Some are other channels.”

Naomi Watts is too familiar with Wayne, so familiar that it is difficult for the two of them to feel a sense of distance. Moreover, because of Wayne, even if she enters the crew to film, she will not be able to touch any shitty things.

For example, in "King Kong", which just finished filming, even if the director of this film is Roland Emmerich, in fact, the most unprovoked person in the crew is still an Australian girl, even Roland Emmerich is very clear about this.

[The book-chasing app recommended by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, wild fruit reading! It's so easy to use. I drive and pass the time by reading aloud before going to bed. You can download it here www. ]

Perhaps except for Naomi Watts himself, all the supervisors of all departments in the crew knew very well. To put it bluntly, this movie was tailor-made for her. Moreover, the father, screenwriter, behind-the-scenes producer, etc., who contributed the money, were all the man standing behind her.

That is, this situation has always been encountered, which made Naomi Watts completely ignore. Wayne's own status is already one of the top players in Hollywood.

He was the banner of Hollywood movies in the 1990s and was also one of the important components of behind-the-scenes capital. To put it bluntly but very realistic, he and those stars are no longer creatures on the same level.

"Nami, even if the boss really needs to show up, he shouldn't be in a hurry at this time."

Nina's voice is always so calm and calm. She looked at the Australian girl and continued: "Analysis rationally, will the first weekend of "Wonder Woman" lack popularity? In my opinion, the reason why Warner Bros.'s publicity and distribution department sent so many invitations was just to give it a try.

Because in their promotional and promotion plan, they never considered letting the boss make a high-profile show in the early stage. In fact, everyone was waiting for the box office figures of the first weekend. Only when the specific results came out can we decide what to do in the future."

With wide eyes, Naomi Watts looked at Nina and asked, "We're waiting, too?"

"Wait, you can think of it as a rare holiday for two days."

As Nina said, everyone is waiting for the market results of "Wonder Woman". The investment scale of this film has never been a secret. The blockbuster of up to 200 million US dollars also means huge pressure to recover.

According to the rough algorithm, only when the global box office of "Wonder Woman" exceeds 600 million US dollars can Warner Bros. barely recover investment from the theater market. The result is that the box office results of the first weekend are very important.

Only when the box office results of the first weekend meet the expected target can Warner Bros. add additional funds for publicity and distribution, and take advantage of the rare two weekend gaps to accelerate the harvest of box office numbers.

This is basically the most ordinary business process. Warner Brothers is not a charity company. Of course, you must first see the signs of making money before vigorously promoting the promotion and promotion plan.

The huge production cost of 200 million US dollars means that a beautiful first weekend is not enough, and it must also ensure that the subsequent box office will not plummet. At that time, it is the time when Wayne considers appearing on the show.

After Saturday arrived, during the whole day, the investigators of Warner Bros.'s company, specially invited third-party investigators, theater companies, and even other major Hollywood film companies, were basically watching the attendance rate of "Wonder Woman".

Various first-hand data are frequently sent by email, and flagship theaters in big cities in North America are even more closely focused on the existence of various attention.

At 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, in the AMC flagship theater at the Times Square Theater in New York, just after a "Wonder Woman", a burst of violent cheers suddenly came from a screening room on the second floor that could accommodate 1,200 people.

At the end of the movie, the audience politely applauded, led by producer Luke Simmons, the main creators of the crew of "Wonder Woman" came out. Then, the scene quickly fell into a hustle and bustle.

This is a stop in the promotional event of "Wonder Woman" and the most ordinary roadshow. After the crew's main creators arrived in New York early in the morning, they did not leave any rest time, and various activities continued until now.

After the theater roadshow ended, there was a fan meeting waiting for everyone in Times Square outside. To be precise, it was waiting for Angelina Jolie.

In less than a day, Angelina Jolie became the most popular female star. Even their occasional appearance during the transition will cause a large number of passers-by to surround them.

The same is true tonight. After watching a movie, the movie fans who had just watched it and had not completely calmed down, after seeing Angelina Jolie with a wide eyelid appearance, there was no sound at the scene. The tsunami-like applause and shouting almost overturned the roof of the screening room.

Angelina Jolie is not a rookie either. She is basically used to the process of roadshow activities. After the crowd gradually calmed down, under the atmosphere of the host on site, she began to share some interesting filming stories and various short stories behind the scenes.

No matter where you go, these are still what movie fans like to hear the most. If you can add some ambiguous hints with Wayne to these interesting stories in front and behind the scenes, the effect on the scene will definitely not be bad.

The atmosphere on the scene was hot, but the time was not left for the fans. In order to catch up with the next event, Angelina Jolie quickly began the interaction with the fans at the host's hint.

“Thank you, thank you for supporting my movie.”

While constantly signing posters, postcards, and notebooks, Angelina Jolie is also trying her best to keep smiling, constantly signing autographs for the front row fans, and giving some small gifts prepared by Warner Bros.

"Ms. Julie."

When a white little girl about six or seven years old appeared in front of her, she unexpectedly appeared. After receiving the mini Wonder Woman doll, the little girl did not leave. Instead, she widened her eyes and raised her head, looked at her and asked, "Sorry, Ms. Julie, did Wayne not come with you?"

“Hi, girl.”

Seeing the little girl's disappointed eyes, Angelina Jolie squatted down and also saw the girl's mother, desperately making a sorry gesture behind the girl.

She nodded gently, and asked with a smile under the gaze of countless people: "Are you here to wait for Wayne?"

"yes, I thought he would show up."

The little girl seemed a little disappointed. She looked at Angelina Jolie kneeling on the carpet with one leg and explained: "Today is the second "Wonder Woman" that my mother took me to watch, just to wait for you to come..."

Speaking of this, the little girl cried out loud, and tears began to roll down her face unstoppably.

"Hey, can you tell me your name?"

Faced with various situations, Angelina Jolie had long been used to it. She hugged the little girl gently and comforted her with a smile:

"If you are willing to tell me your name and address, then in the near future, you may bring you some special surprises. Do you like Wayne? Ha, we all like him. When I go back, I will tell Wayne that she chose not to come to New York this time, what huge regrets did she missed..."

A flash of flashes flashed at the scene, and the reporters tacitly photographed this picture. There is no doubt that this picture will become part of the subsequent publicity.

Faced with the flash that suddenly flashed, the little girl was at a loss. She held a Wonder Woman doll and a Time magazine with a photo of Wayne, and turned to look at her mother.

“Sorry, Ms. Julie.”

The child's mother quickly calmed the girl's emotions and explained with a little crampedness: "Sandy likes to watch "The Flash", and of course, she also likes this "Wonder Woman". You know, she is a hardcore movie fan of Wayne, and she saved up a few months of pocket money just to find a way to meet her idol..."

A touching story about movie fans supporting idols. In fact, no one will take this matter to heart, including Angelina Jolie after the event. However, Luke Simmons, who saw the whole process, found the mother and daughter again afterwards and communicated with the girl's mother for a long time.

At the same time, after the promotional event of the "Wonder Woman" crew in New York ended, they hurriedly boarded the plane early Sunday morning and rushed to the next big city of Miami.
