Chapter 358: See the big sale again

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

In the quiet office, Orlando Bloom sat on a high-back chair, looking through the latest issue of the magazine, nodded first, then frowned into a bump, and even sighed in annoyance.

He just read the latest North American box office news in the magazine.

"Hollywood agent action movies have fallen into a trap now. Whether it is a typical American-style series or a very British-style series, it is difficult to innovate anymore. The Doug Liemann directed it has created the best opening results of similar films in recent years."

"Doug Lieman completely abandoned his cold and realistic style, and played the star card, using the family conflict between male and female protagonists as the tone of the film. The new generation of stars Matthew Horner and Oscar winner Charlize Theron, and their extremely outstanding performance not only ensures the realization of this tone, but also makes the film full of charm."

"It was launched in more than 3,200 theaters early on Thursday night, and earned $8.8 million that night, which is also the best early performance so far this year; the film began to be released on Friday, with a record of $28.6 million in advance on the first day, which also created the best single-day box office result this year."

"On Saturday, the film's box office trend was stable, closing at $25.2 million; on Sunday, another $21.8 million..."

"The first three days of the first weekend, the North American box office was 75.6 million US dollars, easily winning the North American box office rankings."

"The film was obtained in the theater survey 'cinemasor'. Although the evaluation was not as good as that produced by Doug Reeman, the score was quite good in the agent action film. According to the survey, the proportion of women in the first weekend of the film was 51%, and the distribution of male and female audiences was relatively balanced."

"However, the film has a bad professional reputation. Only 54% of the 201 reviews collected by Rotten Tomato website gave positive reviews. The certification level was rotten and the average score was 5.8. However, it scored 7.6 points on IDC, which mainly scored fans, and the audience's reputation was good."

"The new film starring Matthew Horner is like his previous film, with a distinctly polarized reputation."

Seeing this, Orlando Bloom rubbed his forehead. Matthew's upward momentum in recent years has been too strong. He is also a flood of bad reviews from film critics. He couldn't even get a box office of $20 million in the first weekend, but he could earn more than $75 million. Is his appeal really so much worse?

He lowered his head and continued to look back.

"In addition, another large-scale painting performance was not good on the same weekend, and only received $7.52 million in three days. This new film written by Luc Besson, if you want to make a profit, it depends on the performance of the market outside North America. The decline was obvious last weekend, and the decline this weekend was close to 60%, and the closing of another $9.2 million..."

Orlando Bloom's handsome face was now bleak.

According to this trend, the total box office in North America is simply impossible to reach $50 million.

Putting down the magazine in his hand, Orlando Bloom leaned on the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I remember that, not long after I met Matthew, he became famous all over the United States with the role of Legolas, and became a celebrity pursued by countless media and movie fans.

What about Matthew Horner at that time? It was still a young actor who could only play supporting roles based on Ridley Scott's relationship. Not to mention comparing him, even Sean Austin, who plays Sam, is more famous than Matthew Horner.

Legolas of the series made him famous, and even Matthew Horner became famous, he still couldn't compare with him.

Why did the next development appear completely different?

Matthew Horner opened low and closed high, and now he has a faint trend of entering the front line. No... As long as North American box office sales are so popular, it is not a problem for him to cross the front line.

And what about yourself?

Orlando Bloom looked sad, and the trilogy made him famous all over the world, but this series was finally over and could not be eaten forever. Moreover, he was just one of many protagonists. If you want to truly go from a popular star to a first-line movie star, you must prove that you have the ability to hold the box office when you are the male lead.

So, he chose a project that seemed particularly safe, and by calculating his friends, he got a male lead with an investment of up to $160 million. Although he was sorry for Matthew to do this at that time, there was no problem with such a choice in Hollywood. Who would like to let such a good opportunity slip away from his eyes in vain?

Then he became Van Helsing and took it over, but things did not develop as expected. He lost the box office miserably and did not meet Warner's expectations. Legolas's halo instantly dissipated most of the time.

It became the last redemption. As long as this film made a big box office success, all previous failures will no longer be a problem.

Originally, the crushing defeat caused the crew to have doubts. Fortunately, Legolas' halo is somewhat useful, and with the work done by the agent in secret, the crew did not change roles...

But now, it's better to change him.

Orlando Bloom knew very well that there would never be a front-line production to find him as the leading actor in the future. Unless a miracle happened, his acting career would only continue to be able to continue to rely on Legolas's capital.

As for first-tier celebrities, there is no need to think about it. Even the second-tier players are unable to stand firmly now.

Then, he thought of Matthew. The box office success is a foregone conclusion. The only suspense is how many final box office numbers are. Matthew Horner has two sequels behind him, and it is said that they are planning sequels. The possibility of these success is extremely high. Even if there are no more outstanding works later, it is not a problem for Matthew Horner to stay in the front line for seven or eight years.

If you can be like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, in addition to the sequel movies, you can also have several other single-anti-anti-box movies, and even if you don’t have any outstanding performance awards, you can still enter the ranks of super A stars!

This is an era of rampant special effects, and the appeal of celebrities to the audience is declining. Many first-line productions no longer use first-line stars, and have launched small star actors who have just emerged.

Under such background conditions, it is really difficult to climb to the real super A position rather than a specific sequel superstar.

Orlando Bloom subconsciously shook his head. Perhaps Matthew Horner could rely on the sequel and sequels to succeed and become a specific sequel superstar, but in this era when superstars are weakened, it is basically impossible to become a veritable super A.

In the current Super A, how many movies have Harris Ford and Tom Hanks used successfully and completely different series of movies to gain their current status?

In addition to series and series, Harrison Ford also has,,,,, and and other films.

Not to mention Tom Hanks, he not only has a lot of top-notch films as support, but also has two consecutive Oscar-winning Best Actor.

With Matthew Horner's acting skills and action star, it is basically impossible to win the Oscar for Best Actor.

If he wants to climb up to the Super A, he can only take the business path.

In this era when commercial movies rely more on special effects, apart from the serialized sequel movies, there are no four or five movies that have been sold at the box office in a row, so they don’t even think about it.

How difficult is this? As long as one of them fails in the box office like this, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

After these thoughts flashed through his head, Orlando Bloom suddenly felt a little better. Without comparison, there would be no harm. He became famous almost in the same period as Matthew and was far ahead of Matthew. Now the two of them have completely turned upside down.

If Orlando Bloom watches someone who was once far behind him climb to the top of this circle, it will be hard for Orlando Bloom to accept it.

The office door was pushed open from outside, and Orlando Bloom's agent walked in and said with a smile, "Let you wait for a long time, Orlando."

He saw the magazine in front of Orlando Bloom, "This is the case with this circle. There will be success and failure. Now is not the end of the world. We can do it again."

"Two consecutive first-line productions failed at the box office..." Orlando Bloom was still very clear-headed, "Do I still have a chance?"

The agent said very surely, "Of course there is! You are much more capital than those who are just starting out!"

Orlando Bloom smiled, but his smile was bitter.

"Didn't you have a good relationship with Matthew Horner?" The agent obviously had an idea. "This person has a unique vision for film selection. You can continue to have a good relationship with him and find ways to help you get some important supporting roles in the films he starred..."

"Be a supporting role for him?" Orlando Bloom was reluctant, "I used to be even more popular than him!"

The agent suddenly offered a voice, "Orlando, this is not the past!"

Orlando Bloom instantly woke up, and he and Matthew Horner were not on the same level now.

The agent said again, "I heard you don't want to attend Matthew Horner's engagement ceremony?"

"I'm in a bad mood." Orlando Bloom said the truth.
