Chapter 362 China Film Group
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
That night, tmz published some photos and videos of the engagement ceremony on the homepage of the website. Even when it was approaching midnight, the website traffic suddenly increased explosively, and the video was stuck so hard that it could not be viewed.
The next day, the entertainment media had even more overwhelming reports, which made Matthew and Charlize Theron attract enough attention.
This matter took more than half a year from the initial planning to the current implementation. Matthew and Charlize Theron, as the parties involved, did not feel uncomfortable at all.
It’s natural that Matthew doesn’t have any exposure to an entertainment star is basically the end of the world.
Even Charlize Theron, who was a little resistant at the beginning, was very calm now.
This is Hollywood, the entertainment industry, and there are countless breakups and reunions every day. If you want to find a pure man and woman, go to Beverly Middle School or Harvard West Lake School.
Perhaps some people who have just entered the industry are indeed innocent men and women, but whoever climbs to a rank or level like Matthew or Charlize Theron is not experienced in many battles?
Having said that, in addition to film and television works, the most popular thing that focuses on celebrities is actually these things that are experienced and experienced.
Those who want to see innocent men and women, and live and die together to have a long-term relationship will not come to the real Hollywood stars, but those movies only exist in movies starring Hollywood stars.
Not to mention people like Matthew who have ideas when entering Hollywood, go and see Audrey Hepburn, who is almost synonymous with innocence and nobility. Her love history is also wonderful.
Even in the past decade, rumor hypes like Matthew and Charlize Theron have been difficult to arouse the interest of the media and the public, because there are more and more things like Hollywood. If celebrities want to attract attention and maintain exposure, they need new ways that are in line with the development of the social situation.
So, no matter whether they are really homosexual or not, countless male and female celebrities have embarked on the popular avenue of "coming out".
Is there really so many gay people in Hollywood?
In fact, most people understand that only a very small number of them are truly homosexuals. Most celebrities either create topics or have too many things between the opposite sex and are fucked by them, wanting to pursue fresh stimulation.
This is what this circle is, let alone going deeper into it, just like Matthew used to be, it is not difficult to tell what it looks like when he only stands in a distance and watches entertainment news.
In today's era, similar hype is still very marketable, which directly reflects the North American box office of "Mr. Smith".
Since the beginning of this week, the box office of "Mrs. Smiths" inevitably declined on weekdays, earning $10.5 million on Monday, discounted $11.1 million on Tuesday, and Maximum's revision on Wednesday, $10.2 million on Wednesday...
But on Thursday, affected and stimulated by crazy media reports, the daily output of "Mr. Smiths" soared to $14.2 million.
In four working days, "Mr. Smiths" received another $46 million from North America, and the total box office in North America easily exceeded $100 million.
Then, the film entered its second weekend screening, and a truly giant-level film "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" appeared in the North American market.
Americans cannot understand the plot of the Star Wars series. Even after working hard in Hollywood for several years, they still can't figure out what's good about it when they make two lightsabers and swing them without any sense of power.
Of course, he was somewhat aware that the popularity of Star Wars culture may be related to the lack of a unique culture in the United States, and that Lucasfilm's effective marketing and promotion.
Matthew has seen an unofficial statistics. Now, the five Star Wars movies combined have a box office output of only more than $3 billion, while the sales of peripheral products exceeds $20 billion.
Matthew doesn't know whether this data is true or not, but George Lucas is the richest director recognized by Hollywood, and most of his wealth undoubtedly comes from the Star Wars series.
However, George Lucas has not had a good time after launching the "Star Wars Prequel" series.
"The Threat of the Ghost" has mixed reputations, "The Attack of the Clone" has been criticized by Star Wars fans, and there are many fans who criticized George Lucas for ruining the Star Wars series, and these situations have also continued to "The Revenge of the Sith".
Before "The Revenge of the Sith" was released, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of Star Wars fans and try to cover up the negative effects caused by "The Clone Offense", George Lucas even publicly announced that "The Revenge of the Sith" will be the end of the entire Star Wars series.
Matthew knew very well that this was indeed the end of the Star Wars series directed by George Lucas, but it was far from the end of the Star Wars series.
The bottom line of Hollywood's promotional hype is very low. Lies with your eyes closed are just the most basic skills. Just listen to the final chapter or the last movie.
For example, Luc Besson once again talked about his plans for ten movies in the announcement of "Danny Wolf Dog"...
Although George Lucas claimed that "The Revenge of the Sith" is the end of the Star Wars series, after three days of the weekend, affected by the previous "The Ghost Threat" and "The Clones Attack", the box office of "The Revenge of the Sith" did not have the super explosion as expected as the finale as expected.
The film's box office of $18.43 million in the first weekend of North America was significantly lower than the industry's expectations.
If it were another movie, this would undoubtedly be a big hit number. For the end of the "Star Wars" series, I can only say that it is OK.
Matthew also took the time to watch "The Revenge of the Sith" at a theater in Beverly Hills. He had watched this series before and was not very interested, but Charlize Theron can be regarded as half a Star Wars fan, and he also accompanied Charlize Theron to watch it specifically.
Since they will promote Dior and Mercedes-Benz respectively, they did not go out after the engagement ceremony and had to stay in Los Angeles for the time being. After all, they have contracts themselves.
In Charlize Theron's words, watching "The Revenge of the Sith" together is also a special engagement vacation.
After watching this video, although Matthew was not interested in the soft movements of the Jedi, he had to admit that "The Revenge of the Sith" is definitely an epic magnificent, much better than "The Ghost Threat" and "The Clones Attack".
Even though Anakin-Skywalker's transformation is still somewhat inadequate, it does not hide the merits.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of the plot, "Revenge of the Sith" will definitely kill "Mr. Smiths" in seconds.
When Charlize Theron finished watching the movie, he told him this way that he had a sense of destiny and sadness when he saw a character's irreversible direction and an already known ending.
Anakin Skywalker became a black warrior; Padme Amidala died of heart, leaving Luke and Lea behind; Obi-Wan, the character king, hides his traces; the Republic became an empire...
Of course, there is also a very American saying left by Anakin-Skywalker: "If you don't stand with me, then you're on the side of the enemy."
This is very similar to the style of the Washington authorities.
Matthew just thinks about things involving politics, but he won’t really do anything. At most, the right time will come out to fight verbal battles. After all, if you don’t scold the Hollywood stars in the Washington authorities, you will definitely not be a qualified Hollywood star and will look particularly unstyled.
"The Revenge of the Sith" was not as expected, and it was undoubtedly a good thing for "Mr. Smiths" which entered its second weekend. With the overwhelming news from Matthew and Charlize Theron, "Mr. Smiths" did not suffer a significant impact, and the box office trend was quite steady.
On the second weekend of release, "Mrs. Smiths"'s three-day output fell by only 45% from the first weekend, closing at $41.5 million, and the North American box office reached $163.1 million.
Compared with "Mr. Smith", the movies that were truly impacted by "Revenge of the Sith" are "Danny Wolf Dog" and "Dynasty of the Heavenly Kingdom". These two movies have been poorly drawn, and the box office in the three-day weekend fell to the level of $4 million.
At the same time, "Mr. Smith" was released in nearly 80 overseas countries and regions. Affected by the popularity of North America, the overseas response was enthusiastic, and it swept away $110 million from overseas in the first week.
Universal Pictures also reported that Matthew was very interested. China Film Group on the other side of the Pacific has confirmed the introduction of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Due to the grading of the film PG-13 and does not involve any political and regional sensitive issues, it successfully passed the review of the big scissors and will be officially released in theaters there in early June.
China Film Group also sent a formal Wenhan to Universal Pictures, hoping to invite the main creators of the "Smiths" crew to hold a premiere across the Pacific.
It is obvious that in this era of highly developed information, the scandal between Matthew and Charlize Theron had spread to the other side of the Pacific, and China Film Group also realized the possible value.
But Universal Pictures has not had a clear answer, because only 13% of the box office share on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is lacking enough attractiveness.
Matthew also wanted to go back and take a look, but the next itinerary was very full, with Mercedes-Benz advertising campaigns to participate in. He would also register for the Pirates of the Caribbean crew at the end of the month.
After consulting Matthew and Charlize Theron's itinerary, Universal Pictures and Tremlin Entertainment declined the invitation from China Film Group.
However, Matthew received news from Helen Herman that Disney Pictures is negotiating with China Film Group to hold a premiere for the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" across the Pacific.
Walt Disney attaches more importance to the market across the Pacific than Universal Studios, and is said to be striving to build a brand new Disneyland, where Disney Pictures held a premiere for the sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean, which is also in line with the overall group's strategy.
