Chapter 355 Polarization
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Standing in front of the huge glass curtain wall of the master bedroom, Matthew held his cell phone and looked into the distance. Beverly Hills and Angels City were brightly lit, and he was conspicuous here, and half of the night view of Los Angeles was in sight.
Behind him, undetectable footsteps came, and Charlize Theron slowly walked to him in his short pajamas.
Matthew turned his head and looked at her and asked, "Have you woken up?"
Charlize Theron did not answer, but asked, "Isn't I sleep so late?"
"I can't sleep." Matthew said the truth, "It's too difficult to fall asleep at this time."
"Because of the box office?" Charlize Theron asked directly.
Matthew nodded and confirmed, "Because of the box office," he continued, "I am a different actor than you. I am an actor who survives on commercial appeal. The box office of the film failed. You still have the best actress Oscar as the capital to turn the book, and I am going to be finished."
"You're so exaggerating." Charlize Theron snorted, "It seems that if you really will be done with this movie if the box office is not good!"
She knew very well that Matthew's movies "The Scorpion King", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "National Treasure" all made a big box office hit, and even if the Smiths failed at the box office, he could withstand it.
"You can't sleep either?" Matthew asked as he looked at Charlize Theron.
"Yes." Charlize Theron said bluntly, "I can't sleep because of the box office."
She smiled and said, "If this movie has a bad box office, I will be much more affected than you. I will not be able to appear in front-line production for many years in the coming year."
Matthew knew what she was talking about was the fact that Hollywood manufacturers were not charities. Even if Charlize Theron had an endorsement contract between Oscar winners and Dior, once "Mr. Smiths" failed, he wanted to get an invitation to a first-line production, but he still didn't know how many years he would have to wait.
Perhaps her status will not be greatly affected, but Hollywood producers will automatically include her on a popular list and will not easily invite her to play the leading actress in a first-line commercial masterpiece.
Matthew reached out to grab Charlize Theron, "You also saw the pre-sale box office numbers, which could not fail."
Charlize Theron pointed to the cell phone in his hand, "Is there no information yet?"
"Not yet." Matthew raised his hand and glanced, "Bella has been staring at me. If she has it, she will send me a message."
He pointed to the other side of the sofa, "Let's go and sit and wait."
Before seeing the box office ahead of schedule, Charlize Theron couldn't sleep, and sat on the sofa with Matthew and waited patiently.
There will be nothing to do, Charlize Theron asked, "How is the engagement ceremony ready?"
"The sponsorship fees for Dior and Mercedes-Benz have been paid."
Matthew has always been preparing for the engagement ceremony. He simply said, "The important guests on both sides, Mercedes-Benz will specially mobilize a team to pick them up. Each guest will receive a small gift from us after the engagement ceremony. Dior has prepared a 'real self' perfume gift package."
Charlize Theron covered his forehead helplessly, "It's almost turned into an advertising campaign." She suddenly realized, "This was a show."
Matthew was very open-minded, "Dio and Mercedes-Benz bear two-thirds of the cost of the engagement ceremony, so of course they should show their products appropriately."
Another third of the cost is borne by the crew of "Mr. Smiths".
Charlize Theron thought for a while and asked, "Have you figured out how we broke up?"
"Well... no." Matthew suddenly said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "How about this, why don't we break up and just be together."
"I never thought about getting married." Charlize Theron subconsciously said this, and then rushed in front of Matthew and said, "We were good friends, and I have some understanding of you."
Matthew didn't understand what Charlize Theron meant, just looked at her.
Charlize Theron had no smile on his face, and seemed very serious, "Matthew, will you give up more women because of a woman?"
Matthew knew his original intention and never forgot his original intention, especially after breaking up with Britney and seeing more breakups in the circle, he would not give up his original intention.
For him, Charlize Theron is completely different from Scarlett Johnson, Rachel McAdams and Jessica Alba.
Matthew didn't want to lie to her, and after hesitating, he sighed and said, "No."
Charlize Theron spread his hands, "Instead of turning against one another in the future, it is better to follow the plan. We are still good friends."
Matthew asked immediately, "A good friend with special relationship?"
Charlize Theron gave him a pair of eyes, but said nothing more. After a while, he said, "To be honest, I'm not very interested in that matter until I met you..."
Beep
The phone text message prompted, and Charlize Theron immediately moved to something he cared about and reminded Matthew."
But Matthew didn't look at his phone and threw it directly to Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron took the phone, clicked on the text message and took a look, and was obviously relieved.
"How many?" Matthew was actually very concerned, and even forgot what Charlize Theron hadn't finished just now, "Have you exceeded $5 million?"
Charlize Theron smiled, with a bright smile, "More than $5 million!" She didn't keep it in a silence and said directly, "8.8 million US dollars in advance!"
"Wow..." Matthew made a strange cry on purpose, "It's so good now!"
Charlize Theron also gave Matthew a cell phone, "It's nearly $4 million more than expected."
"This shows that the hype between the two of us played a huge role!" Matthew immediately made a judgment and did not waste his time."
He also thought of another point, but he would not have done anything to Charlize Theronti. Since hiring Bella Anderson, with the assistance of Helen Hermann, Bella Anderson has established contact with the leaders of fan organizations in many North American cities, and through the assistance of Angel Brokerage, these spontaneous fans have gradually organized.
According to data provided by Bella Anderson, in the Greater Los Angeles area alone, the early screening of "The Smiths" by his fans organized nearly twenty games.
Although he paid for a unified cultural shirt out of his own pocket, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars across the United States, it is worth it if he could establish a stable fan association.
This is far beyond the expected box office figures for the early stage, and fans should have contributed considerable strength to the venue.
Moreover, after the fan organization stabilizes, they will definitely pay out of their own pockets.
Basically, behind every big-name star, there are special people or teams to handle the business of operating fans. It may not be particularly common now, but Matthew knows that for celebrities, the power of hardcore fans is huge.
Matthew would not mention these things that involve the foundation of his own foothold, even a woman like Charlize Theron, whom he admires and likes very much.
"How much do you think the first weekend's box office will be?" Charlize Theron asked at this time.
Matthew stood up, walked to her and said, "Don't care! It's definitely more than expected $50 million!"
While speaking, his eyes were patrolling Charlize Theron back and forth, as if he was looking at his prey.
Charlize Theron said vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"
Matthew bent down and picked her up, "Sally, don't you think we should celebrate?"
On this dark night, people sleeping late were not just Matthew and Charlize Theron. In a small apartment in Burbank, Bella Anderson was sitting in front of the computer and staying up late to work.
She had just sent a text message to Matthew, and at this moment she looked at the box office numbers on the email and couldn't believe it was true.
Bella Anderson also watched the premiere in the evening. Can a film of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" achieve such excellent box office results?
She really doubted that something was wrong with her appreciation level.
However, the early box office data displayed by emails from Universal Pictures, Peak Entertainment and Helen Hermann are completely consistent, so there is no problem of making mistakes.
Thinking of the operation that he participated in after taking this job, and everything that happened around Matthew and Charlize Theron, Bella Anderson felt relieved again. "Mr. Smith" has such a topic. Matthew and Charlize Theron's couple partner continued from the screen to reality, and the media and the general public were discussing them...
Such box office numbers are normal, isn't it?
Bella Anderson no longer thought about it, opened the web page and began to collect the evaluations and reputation on the Internet, then summarized and sent it to his employer.
First of all, in terms of Rotten Tomatoes, the website has collected 12 reviews from professional film critics, 7 positive reviews and 5 negative reviews. The reputation of the film is currently very average.
“Mr. Smiths is a very stupid and boring comedy romantic action movie.”
This is the latest negative review, followed by a positive review.
"Mr. Smith is a work that looks flashy at first glance, but it is undeniable that the romantic style brought by the combination of handsome men and beautiful women, Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron, or the exciting and hilarious plot, make the movie feel sweet even as a popcorn film. If you can watch this work more deeply, then you will actually find the sincerity contained in the bizarre story of the movie. The thoughts about marriage and family, love and sincerity will always be the focus of everything healing and moving."
After reading the reviews and adding her own viewing experience, Bella Anderson felt that the reputation of this film would definitely be polarized.
