A grand premiere is coming to Disneyland again.

Perhaps it is believed that "Alien Battlefield" may make a difference in the amusement park project. As the publisher, Disney Pictures has specially placed the global premiere of the film at Disneyland, California, and the hero of Guangfa Texas will be invited to help.

As a partner of Walt Disney, Matthew naturally received an invitation.

Walking through the long red carpet and coming to the gate of the newly completed Disney Grand Theater, Matthew met Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger.

"What's wrong?" Matthew shook hands with Robert Iger and asked curiously, "You look frowning?"

Robert Egg looked at the huge poster of "Alien Battlefield" placed in front of the theater and sighed, "The recent movies have not been very smooth."

After hearing this, Matthew was a little angry and said, "Disney's movie this year is not going well? Please, Bob, can you take into account other people's feelings?"

Robert Eiger spread his hands, "This is true."

Matthew said directly, "The global box office of "Alice in Wonderland" released at the beginning of the year has exceeded one billion, right? "Iron Man 2" has been released in North America for $300 million, is there a global box office of $700 million? "Toy Story 3" released more than half a month ago has a double box office and reputation, which is obviously a film of 300 million in North America and 800 million in the world!"

He couldn't help but shake his head, "Disney's movies are not going well? Don't pass small companies like us."

Robert Eiger smiled like a Mickey Mouse again, and then pointed to the poster of "Alien Battlefield", "I'm talking about this movie."

Matthew looked curious, "The reputation of the trial screening is not good?"

Until now, the ratings of Rotten Tomatoes and ImDB in "Alien Battlefield" have not been lifted, but this film has held many previews.

Generally, after the official preview, commercial blockbusters will be lifted from reputation, because if the reputation is good, it will be excellent publicity.

On the other hand, those who have not lifted the ban are either films that have not been previewed to the public, or blockbusters with super confidence like "Avatar", or the preview reputation is very unsatisfactory.

He has been paying attention to "Alien Battlefield". The reputation of this film has not been lifted, but there are many reviews of the film that are very good.

Of course, people in the circle will not take this seriously. Everyone knows that most film critics are just doing things with money.

"It's not ideal." Robert Egg shook his head slowly, "I'm ready for failure."

"Oh?" Matthew frowned slightly.

Robert Iger sighed, "Andrew's ability in live-action movies is not even one-tenth of animated feature films." He still had a glimmer of luck, "Fortunately Disney invested only 50 million dollars in this film."

Matthew didn't know what to say, after all, he almost chose him as the male lead in this movie.

Robert Eiger suddenly looked at the red carpet, and with an off-white dress, the handsome Brad Pitt had already walked on the red carpet.

"Fortunately, the $200 million in this film comes from Brad Pitt's investment and financing." He said slowly, "Otherwise Disney may face an extremely cruel failure and loss."

Matthew thought for a while and asked, “Is it so serious?”

After all, looking here, Brad Pitt smiled and was full of complacent on the red carpet, as if the film had achieved great success.

"It's even worse than the worst you can think of."

The film is about to be released, and there is no need to hide it. "Do you know how much pre-sale of this film is?"

Matthew shook his head, "No public data."

Robert Eiger sighed again, "Because Brad Pitt's B plan cost a lot, blocking pre-sale data."

"It's awful?" Matthew asked again.

Robert Eiger nodded slightly, "Well, the pre-sale of North America's box office in the first weekend was less than $5 million."

Matthew fell silent for a moment. For a super big production with a cost of up to $250 million, the pre-sale of $5 million is no longer a bad one.

The next moment, he turned into a good friend who was very considerate of his partner, and suggested, "Bob, Disney would better see the box office reaction of the first day of the release, and then decide on subsequent promotional investment."

From a stop loss perspective, this is undoubtedly the wisest.

Robert Iger said helplessly, "I have temporarily stopped asking Disney to invest promotional funds in this video."

Isn’t there any problem with the brain knowing that a movie is likely to lose money, but I still invest more in it?

Besides, Disney is not Plan B and Brad Pitt, there is no way out except "Alien Battlefield".

Matthew saw someone coming to say hello to Robert Iger and took the initiative to leave, but he did not go to the Disney Grand Theater, but watched Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman walk on the premiere of "Alien Battlefield" one after another.

If you want to become a qualified actor, you must first be thick-skinned. From the faces of Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt, you can't see any concerns about "Alien Battlefield". It seems that this movie is not difficult to make a big deal.

Of course, there are also films that have had poor reputation in the preview and have a big box office after the release.

Therefore, the huge premiere jointly invested by Disney Pictures and Project B is only going as planned. I'm afraid Robert Iger is not without a chance of success.

But the pre-sale is extremely poor and the reputation of the trial screening is bad. These are enough to make Matthew make a clear judgment that "Alien Battlefield" will follow the old path.

Besides, Robert Eiger just said that there was something wrong with the director Andrew Stanton.

It’s okay to say that the actor has problems, but the director’s directing has problems, which is fatal to any film.

Matthew looked at the main creators of the crew of "Alien Battlefield" who were huddled in front of the background board and turned around and walked towards the theater gate.

The film has a fatal problem. Isn’t this what he wants?

Think about it, if this film's box office is average and Disney Pictures deducts the distribution commission and advance promotional and distribution expenses, how much will it be in the future to plan B?

Maybe Plan B and Brad Pitt can't even collect one-tenth of the money invested by them.

Which crew with a slightly larger investment in the future dares to use Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman?

The failure may be due to bad luck. I messed up two major productions in a row. Not to mention them, even stars of Matthew's level will suffer huge negative impacts.

Shortly after Matthew entered the Disney Grand Theater, the group photo of the crew of "Alien Battlefield" ended. Brad Pitt was the first to walk towards the door of the theater alone, turning his body without having to face the media anymore. The smile on the handsome face disappeared without a trace, and worries almost occupied all the expressions.

Even if the trial screening is poor, the pre-sale is poor, which really makes him worried.

Pre-sales often represent the real appeal of a movie, a director, and the film starring.

The pre-sale box office of less than $5 million also made him fully understand that Andrew Stanton, who left Pixar animated feature, was basically not attractive to movie fans, and the two protagonists, he and Natalie Portman, did not have much commercial appeal at all.

This is particularly frustrating, but it cannot be escaped.

Perhaps choosing a big commercial film is a mistake? Brad Pitt suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

But if you want to become a superstar, this is a necessary choice. In this era, without the support of commercial box office, an actor can't even touch the threshold of a superstar.

Brad Pitt walked into the theater with a random thought. As soon as he entered the gate, someone suddenly flashed over in front of him.

The man was wearing glasses and a black dress, and his face was full of shrewdness and ability as a business elite.

"Antonios, why are you here?" Brad Pitt's originally melancholy face was a little angry.

"I'm the VIP who accepted the invitation." The middle-aged man named Antonios seemed not to see the expression on Brad Pitt's face. "I came here to remind you something."

Brad Pitt looked around, pointed to an uninhabited corner in the theater front hall, and said, "Let's go over there to talk."

One by one, one after another, Antonios said directly, "Brad, I need to remind you that the debts you owe must be returned in time."

Brad Pitt's face was gloomy and gloomy, "I will not miss a single share of the money I owe you."

Antonios suddenly smiled, "I don't know what you are using? Don't tell me it's the profit share of "Alien Battlefield"?" He did not give Brad Pitt a chance to speak, "I suggest you sell your fixed property in time. If we apply for enforcement in the future, the funds they mortgage will be very low."

Brad Pitt's hands trembled slightly, but he was not panicked.

"We have already given the grace to you forgoing debts you have broken down on Cloud Map, allowing you to postpone the return until this year," Antonios continued. "The grace is only once, and there will be no second time."

He is the debt collection agent of several lending funds and banking consortiums. He has been watching Plan B and Brad Pitt. The preview and pre-sale of "Alien Battlefield" can't be hidden from them at all.

"I'll think about it." Brad Pitt said, holding back his anger, "My video has not been released yet, everything is not finalized!"

Antonios achieved his purpose of reminding him of his debts, said at the right time, and before leaving, "I wish you good luck with "Alien Battlefield".

Watching the man leave, Brad Pitt stood silent for a while. The two projects of "Cloud Map" and "Alien Battlefield" have loaned and mortgaged loans of up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

This has not counted interest, and there are also financings that have been brought in...

Brad Pitt's body trembled when he thought of the consequences of failure, which would leave him with nothing!
