Chapter 73

Because of his concentration on the new project, Murphy forgot that his first film had been shown in the cinema. On the way to the cinema, he made a special phone call to Jones Butler to learn something about it.

Miramax previously carried out a certain promotion of "fruit hard candy". In addition to putting posters and commercials in some cinemas, he also broadcast TV advertisements on two public TV stations in the late hours.

Miramax is very restrained in the promotion of "fruit candy", and her investment can be described as meticulous. After all, the cost of the film is here, and it is impossible to invest too much in the promotion, otherwise she will lose money.

The car drove to a relatively remote cinema in Santa Monica. As soon as it entered the parking lot, Kerry Mulligan complained, "are you a director? I didn't know my movie was on last Friday

Watching Murphy Park, her baby face was full of indignation. "I wanted to see it in London, but I didn't see it there."

"All right, honey." Murphy asked her to get out of the car. "I'm preparing for a new movie."

Kerry Mulligan closed the copilot's door and turned to stare at Murphy, "new movie? What is it? "

"The secret." Murphy locked his car and headed west to the cinema. When Kerry Mulligan caught up and shook his arm, he said, "wait a while, and you'll see the script."

Kerry Mulligan immediately grinned.

As soon as they walked into the theater, Kerry Mulligan pointed to the poster board in front of them and said, "look, Murphy, our poster."

Right in front of the corner, the poster of Miramax's "fruit candy" is posted there, with a little girl in a red hood standing in front, and photographers in gray clothes behind her eyeing her.

"I'll get the tickets."

In the past, Murphy bought two tickets, and they entered the screening hall. Although "fruit candy" is R-rated, it's not difficult for Kerry Mulligan to enter the screening hall with Murphy. Moreover, it's not uncommon for minors in North American cinemas to enter the R-rated cinema.

"There are so few people." Kerry Mulligan kept looking around. "The seats are empty."

It's a small studio that can accommodate hundreds of people, including Murphy and Kerry Mulligan, and it looks like less than 15 people.

"It's normal." "Don't forget today, Monday," Murphy reminded

How can this kind of niche film have a large audience.

In fact, on the phone, Jones Butler mentioned some relevant screening data to him. "Fruit candy" has entered the North American cinema since last Friday. Miramax contacted ten cinemas to order the film, and got $36538 on Friday. The situation on Saturday and Sunday was slightly better, and the box office accumulation of the first weekend exceeded $100000 Off.

In this way, the box office of "fruit hard candy" in its first week's demand exceeded $10000, and it also won the opportunity to expand the screening.

It has to be said that Miramax is really good at releasing independent films. From this Monday, the number of North American Theaters of "fruit candy" has increased to 160.

When the film begins to show, Kerry Mulligan is completely quiet, and the whole person is involved in the film. When Haley comes back for the first time, Murphy sees her eyes turn red, two lines of tears flow down, and the whole person seems to be shaking.

When the dream comes true, it's hard to be excited.

Murphy understood the feeling, reached out and patted Kerry Mulligan on the arm. Kerry Mulligan turned his head, wiped away the tears from his face, tried to squeeze a smile on him, and then bowed his head and pressed it on his shoulder.

They look at each other and smile, then turn back to the film.

Soon, Kerry Mulligan's mouth cracked to the end of his ears.

Because the audience is relatively small, most people are concentrated in the middle row, some whispered comments inevitably spread here.

"The girl did a good job."

"She's so beautiful, so cute, so cool!"

"I like this girl, as well as her red clothes and canvas shoes."

Later, there were people talking about her performance.

"The little girl's acting is terrific."

Listen to this, Kerry Mulligan feels more floating than drinking Chivas with Murphy.

Although there are some voices in the middle who think the film is too much, almost all the voices in the hall are praising Kerry Mulligan's performance.

And Murphy also thinks that Kerry Mulligan is very good. Her almost natural performance covers up her own shortcomings. Compared with the former Allen page, her appearance gets too many bonus points.

The audience is often very facial.

In the end, Little Red Riding Hood's anti killing of the wolf caused another burst of exclamation. Women are dark and cool, while men's eggs hurt

At the end of the screening, more than a dozen audiences walked out of the theater one after another, and Murphy and Kerry Mulligan fell behind."Did I perform well?" Kerry Mulligan couldn't wait to ask.

Murphy nodded. "It's good..."

Kerry Mulligan, with a hint of disappointment on his face, shook his body and grunted, "isn't that good?"

"Honey, you need to hear me out." Murphy shook his head and went on. Kerry Mulligan followed him, and he said, "you're better than James Franco."

Kerry Mulligan pointed his chin hard. "I'll do better in the future."

After Murphy, she walked out of the movie hall and toward the front hall. When she passed the billboard, she looked around for a while. The little red riding hood on it was so eye-catching.

The only thing that made her feel sorry was that the audience was really small just now.

If the audience is full and everyone is full of praise for her performance, what a wonderful feeling it would be.

Thinking of all this, Kerry Mulligan followed Murphy out of the studio, looked up at the dazzling sunshine, and suddenly a question with doubts sounded on the right.

"Excuse me..." A brown haired girl, about twenty years old, looked at her and asked, "you Are you Haley

"Haley?" Kerry Mulligan was stunned.

Murphy also heard the question, turned to remind, "Haley in the movie."

Kerry Mulligan suddenly realized, at the same time, his eyes were bent with laughter, and politely extended a small hand, "Hello, I'm Kerry Mulligan."

When the brown haired girl shook her hand, Kerry Mulligan said, "I played Haley in the hard candy."

The brown haired girl was surprised. "Is it really you? You did a great jo
