Chapter 520 Completely different word of mouth and box office
Since the birth of Hollywood, I don’t know how many beautiful female celebrities have hated Oscars. Their beautiful blonde hair, sexy figure and delicate face have almost become the biggest obstacles to winning the award.
But there is never a shortage of smart women in this world. Pretending to be ugly is undoubtedly the best way for female movie stars to break through their inherent images, and there are many people who rely on this method to become the Oscar winner.
Of course, compared to the winners, there are countless actresses who play ugly. Being ugly is just a means to break the inherent image. Without a detailed portrayal and grasp of the role, winning the award is still nonsense.
"Pretending ugly is just a means."
Ryan sat sideways beside the bed, holding a plate full of breakfast, next to a thick stack of newspapers, "This is just to fit the character's image, not to win the sympathy of the judges."
Charlize, who was pillowing on his legs, showed beautiful curves, as lazy as a golden silk cat. She opened her mouth and enjoyed the breakfast that Ryan fed her, while vaguely saying, "I know that playing someone is just an actor's duty."
After saying that, he rubbed the oil stains on Ryan's mouth on his furnishing clothes, "Dear, I want to hear those people's comments, can you read it to me?"
"Happy to serve, my princess." Ryan gently pinched her face, put down the plate, and picked up the newspaper next to her.
An actress who is famous for her vase image, suddenly turned around 180 degrees after just launching a beautiful elf princess who is popular all over the world. She still has a successful response in the media and critics.
"In order to more realistically shape the complex character and emotional world of female murderer Erin Vornos, the famous beautiful actress Charlize Theron sacrificed her beauty. While gaining weight by 30 pounds, she changed her appearance through makeup. The glittering blonde female star disappeared, replaced by a vulgar street woman with yellow teeth and freckles on her face. She was as strong as a professional boxer."
Ryan took the lead in opening the Los Angeles Times. The headlines of the entertainment version were about the news about "The Devil". Leaving the reviews of the film, he directly read the part about Charlize. "Miss Theron's performance was just right, she was extremely outstanding every second. What a brave and powerful performance."
"Oh. It sounds really good." Charlize smiled extremely brightly, his face buried in Ryan's lower abdomen.
Although the media has praised her in the past, she has basically put her pen and ink on her beautiful appearance.
"The New York Times."
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Ryan immediately changed it, "In addition to fully showing the rude appearance that Erin Wornos showed to the world in court, Theron also injected a soft side into the character. It seemed like a beast who had been fighting for years, and occasionally stopped for a moment to lick the wounds. She just showed the pain and hurt that Wornos suffered, which also showed the whole film a rich level. Her outstanding performance injected enough vitality into this mediocre film."
"Continue, continue!"
After turning over, Charlize climbed on Ryan's lap, acting like a little girl asking for candy. "Dear, can you continue?"
"Of course it's OK." Ryan nodded, then picked up the New York Post, with a somewhat sensational comment. "If the Oscar judges who are notoriously picky and dull can come out and have a good look at The Devil, they will know who to vote for the Best Actress of the Year."
"And...wow, this one is even more exaggerated."
Before Charlize could react, Ryan picked up another newspaper. "Miss Theron's performance in "The Devil" is the best performance in the history of world film and television. If this character cannot win the Oscar for Best Actress, then this award should be cancelled."
"The gunman you are looking for?" Charlize raised his face and looked over.
"Definitely not." Ryan said with his hands spread out, "This is Roger Albert's film review. He also gave two thumbs up, not for the film. It's for you."
"This is really..."
Charlize simply sat up, "Am I really that good?"
"Better than you think." Ryan kissed her eyes gently, "Dear, this is not a compliment."
Film critics can also be public relations. However, at this stage, Roger Albert wants money and reputation. If you want to influence him, you must spend a lot of resources. Instead of using these resources on a person, it is better to conduct a larger-scale public relations.
So, Ryan did not let people contact this famous film critic.
However, this relatively fair film critic obviously appreciates Charlize's performance. His film criticism has a considerable influence on many judges who only know how to vote with their feet.
This can be considered an unexpected gain.
"Dear, believe me."
From the moment the movie was released, the powerful PR machine was launched, and Ryan also believed in the power of the character, "You will sweep the entire awards season and conquer the jury of all awards."
"But before that, I want to conquer you first."
The watery eyes showed how excited Charlize was. She pulled Ryan over, pressed him down, untied the straps of the home clothes, and buried her entire head at the bottom.
Although the quality of the film can only be considered to be medium, especially the portrayal of Erin Wornos and the homosexual plot have attracted a lot of criticism, Charlize's performance in it has been unanimously praised by the critics. Even if he is not as exaggerated as Roger Albert, he still believes Erin Wornos is definitely the best female character on the screen in recent years.
After the movie was released, the entire crew, including South African Diamond, changed their previous low-key state and carried out a massive publicity campaign with the assistance of relevant teams.
Ryan also mobilized all the resources that could be mobilized to build momentum for Charlize.
The Los Angeles Times interview, ABC TV's talk show, and the parties Ryan convened, all of which are active Charlize.
After staying with Ryan for so long, she is no longer the Charlize Theron before. Her skilled socializing and gradually developed skills have become a member of Hollywood superstructure that cannot be ignored.
"Most of such a film depends on the performance of the actor who plays the central role, so I think I must fully demonstrate her cruelty and sensitivity."
Afterwards, Charlize appeared on the cover of "Vanity Fair" and said in the interview very clever. "Irene Vornos is definitely not innocent, and the film is not a defense for her. We just want to explore what exactly caused her to become a murderous demon. How can we avoid similar tragedies from happening in the future?"
This one that clearly conforms to the views of mainstream society has received unanimous praise from major media afterwards, adding a lot of impression points to her.
Compared to the praise Charlize received, the box office of "The Devil" can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
The film landed in North America with 500 theaters. Its first week was mediocre, with a box office of more than 3.9 million US dollars. The number of theaters increased to more than 650 in the second week, and the box office also increased. The result of more than 4.5 million will not allow theaters to significantly reduce the scale of screenings.
However, where the audience of the movie is placed, even if the hype craze and reputation are soaring, "The Devil" cannot change the essence of a niche film, and the box office in the third week is still only more than 4 million US dollars.
The production cost of "The Devil" is not high, only $10 million, and in contrast, the promotional PR fee is as high as $15 million.
For Oscars now, it is almost impossible for Ryan to do that. With Charlize's actual conditions, it will be difficult for her to reach the top again in the future. This time, she will be able to enjoy the glory.
Ryan's purpose is not just Oscars, he wants Charlize to sweep the best actress in the awards season awards!
The Internet has become an indispensable part of North American life and entertainment. In addition to traditional media, the PR team's hype will not let go of this position.
"The acting is great! Miss Theron!"
"A suffocating performance! This is the best candidate for Best Actress!"
“The makeup is great, the acting is amazing!”
There are countless news like this on the Internet, and things like navy can be seen everywhere. The most important thing is that the cost is much lower than that of traditional media.
Of course, there are many netizens who are spontaneously discussing it.
"Irene Wornos seems to be Charlize's true nature. I am really worried about Ryan. I think everyone should know that he is a playboy now. If Charlize, who also had a tragic experience as a girl, could not bear it one day, would he take out a revolver?"
Since Ryan's self-deprecating, there have been more and more gossip about him, and his targets are no longer limited to Nicole and others. The female stars who have friendship have become the protagonists, and even Scarlett Johnson was pulled into the long and terrifying list by the media.
In this way, the firepower of the tabloids has been relatively dispersed, at least there is no concentrated criticism of Nicole.
Compared with the popular promotion of "The Devil", Nicole's latest film "Mold Rouge" has temporarily been much more low-key. The official release date of this movie is after the New Year, and only pre-screened in two theaters in Los Angeles before Christmas to qualify for the Oscars.
However, whether it is "The Devil" and "The Moulin Rouge" or other movies, they are destined to be the protagonists of the Christmas schedule. When "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" arrives in the last schedule of this year with overwhelming publicity, it becomes the well-deserved only protagonist.
The premiere of the movie was selected in London. This time, not only did Britain and the United States achieve simultaneous release, but also English-speaking areas such as Australia and New Zealand have joined in.
