Chapter 325

On Thursday afternoon, the North American Premiere of "lost lover" kicked off at Hollywood's chief stone theater on time. This is Murphy's most special premiere so far.

On both sides of the red carpet, a large number of fans hold up the posters of Charlize Theron. It seems that they have become fans of South African diamond. When Charlize Theron walks onto the red carpet with her boyfriend Stuart Townsend, they burst out the cheers of Shanhu tsunami Gang, even though Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio are popular.

But the sound of "Amy Charlotte" is a bit embarrassing.

After a series of reality and film publicity, more and more people began to call her Amy.

Compared with Charlize Theron, James Franco, who walked on the red carpet behind him, was given a cold shoulder, and "murderers" were heard one after another in the crowd.

In this society, not only can reality affect movies and the Internet, but the reverse also works.

James Franco is more open-minded and doesn't take this seriously.

At the end of the red carpet ceremony, Murphy walked through the red carpet and came to the front door of the chief stone theater. Not far away, there were a lot of voices and people holding banners.

The protestors appeared.

"Liar!"

"Shameless!"

"Boycott Murphy Stanton!"

"Refuse to watch the lost lover!"

These voices are coming from there. Excessive marketing will inevitably bring some negative effects.

"Don't worry." Carla Firth came up. "It's just a small group of people."

Murphy shrugged. "I'm not worried. Any over marketing will have a negative reaction."

Pointing to the other side, he said, "I thought there would be hundreds of people. Now it seems that there are not even 100 people."

Carla Firth gave him a pair of white eyes. "I'm worried for nothing."

She gave Murphy a push. "Go for an interview."

Hollywood is not only a film production line, but also a premiere. With the development of this industry, it's more and more difficult for Nicole Kidman to play new tricks these years, except that Nicole Kidman mentions her skirt at the premiere of "eye opener" and deliberately exposes her underpants once to surprise the fans.

Like the movie "lost lover", all the tricks have been used in the promotion and marketing, and the premiere is like a steady template.

Interview with reporters, take photos with crew members, take photos with sponsors, and greet guests

Entering the front hall of the theater, Murphy greets some of the 20th Century Fox executives, and sees David Ellison coming along with a young girl.

"Hi, Murphy." He volunteered, "this is my sister, Megan. Megan, this is Murphy. "

Murphy reached out and said, "Hello, Miss Ellison."

"Call me Megan." Megan Ellison threw a strand of hair behind her head and said politely, "I love your movie."

"Thank you." Murphy could tell it was polite.

"I heard there was a protest outside?" David Ellison came in early and didn't see, "will it affect our film?"

"There will be a little, but it can be ignored." Murphy doesn't care about the people protesting outside. "More people will be attracted to the cinema by our propaganda."

"Didn't you tell me that the box office pre-sale in the first week was about $15 million?" Megan Ellison, the speaker, seems to know a lot about the industry. "This kind of pre-sale performance seems to rank in the top three films released this year."

David Ellison smiles at Megan Ellison. "This is my first investment. It's normal to be a little nervous."

"Let's talk." Megan Ellison waved to him, "I'm going to take a picture with the heroine."

As just said, David Ellison really cares about the investment. "Murphy, the pre-sale is $15 million. How much do you think the box office will be in the first weekend?"

"At least double that." It's hard for Murphy to say, "it could double."

"It's better to double it." David Ellison said to himself, "I have two more investments. Can I give you some advice later?"

"Yes." Murphy nodded.

Such an investor who does not pursue high returns for the time being, has a large amount of money in his hand, and will not interfere with the crew casually is very rare in Hollywood.

moreover, David Ellison is not poor in his ability. He is responsible for advertising negotiations, which can bring the crew up to 12 million dollars in advertising sponsorship.

Most of the sponsors sign floating advertising sponsorship terms with the crew, all of which are based on the box office. If the box office of "lost lover" in North America can exceed 200 million US dollars, it will automatically trigger the maximum payment agreement in the terms, that is, the total advertising sponsorship fee of 12 million US dollars.Although most of the money will not be paid until the film is released from North America, it is no exaggeration to say that "lost lover" has not been released, and nearly ten million dollars of investment has been recovered.

The North American box office of 200 million US dollars depends on the specific effect of advance marketing, but Murphy is confident to get 150 million US dollars.

But he said, "you're ready to invest in another TV series?"

"Song of ice and fire: the game of power." Murphy didn't hide it. It's not a secret. "The script has just been finished. It may take a while to prepare."

He raised his eyebrows. "You want to invest?"

David Ellison scratched his head. "We can continue to work in the same way we did before."

Hearing this, Murphy understood that David Ellison wanted to continue to take his own ride.

"We'll talk about that later." Murphy thought about it and said, "Stanton studio will continue to work with 20th century fox. If you have an investment intention, let someone talk to bill."

After a year, the script of "song of ice and fire: game of power" has been basically completed, and the rest is to continue to polish the details. Murphy has also discussed with Carla Firth and the top management of 20th century fox, and will work with 20th century fox to produce the series. The specific negotiation will be launched after the release of "lost lover".

Choosing 20th century fox, on the one hand, can help Carla Firth, on the other hand, Murphy has no TV station.

It's impossible for him to directly launch a TV series like this to sell DVD. That's a suicide. It's even more impossible to put it in the cinema. The requirements of large screen works and small screen works are quite different. This is a big joke.

There must be a wireless station with enough users as a platform for broadcasting and promotion. Murphy knows this very well, so he will basically choose fox cable TV network.

David Ellison was in a good mood and made a phone gesture, "I'll wait for your call."

Murphy reminds us, "David, when you invest, don't be obsessed with airplanes and air battles."

Looking at David Ellison, Murphy shakes his head and walks away. If he reminds David Ellison to invest in those inexplicable movies, it only means that he really needs to spend money to buy lessons.

It's almost time. Murphy leads the crew into the theater and goes straight to the front row.

The originally noisy hall gradually quiets down. Whether it's a media reporter, a professional film critic, or an ordinary audience, they are all waiting for the film, which has caused so many waves throughout the summer, to start showing.

As a staunch Murphy Stanton fan, Daisy also sat in the premiere theater and was attracted from the beginning of the film.

It's a film that suits her taste very much. In a word, it's how to distinguish between zhenbi and zhuangbi.

The answer is super simple. Amy is the former and Nick is the latter.

When Nick, a mortal in disguise, first met Amy, a genius in zhenbi, he made a merciless mockery of the stupid masses and told Amy, "I'm not a mortal like you.".

It's even more obvious that Amy has to attend a boring party to be interviewed by a group of silly reporters. Nick once again behaves as "different". In a way that makes others embarrassed, he pretends to interview and praises Amy's behavior, so as to rescue Amy from the low-level and stupid social life.

After getting married, the genius Amy finds that Nick has become a mere mortal. In other words, Nick's only genius lies in his outstanding "show" ability, which is also the only place where the genius Amy appreciates Nick.

After getting married, Nick lost the desire to show off.

For example, Nick moved back to his hometown Town, which is even more vulgar and intolerable. Big New York, which is full of psychosis and exotic flowers, is always the best destination for talents and different people. For example, the small town where they live in the United States, a small town with more than ten books, seems out of place.

As a little girl who runs bars, plays games and has no brains, Nick has become like an ordinary man without any "difference". This is the reason why the genius Amy can't stand it.

It's funny that when Nick refuses to have children, he still uses "being different" as an excuse: "we're not ordinary people who depend on children for marriage.".

That "different" genius Amy was forced to become a vulgar mortal, she wanted to revenge.

In the plan, talented Amy everywhere reflects the crushing and disdain of neighbors, media and police intelligence - how can such a person integrate into the life of small town.

And when the genius Amy saw Nick's outstanding "show" performance again, she felt that Nick she loved was back: that's it! Good performance! Use your charming smile to bewitch those stupid silly people! Cheat them! Fool them! Turn them around! Crush their IQ just like me! This is you!! That's what I love about you!So she did a little trick, killed the rich second generation spare tire, changed her plan, and returned to Nick. And Nick has to continue to do what he is good at and become a model couple with Amy.

Nick is a mortal after all. He is afraid of the public opinion and dare not leave Amy. He stays with Amy for the sake of his father's responsibility. Fame and responsibility make him have to stay with Amy. From time to time, he also makes use of his "show" skills. Talented Amy keeps mortal Nick around like a pet, which is exactly her plan.
