May 24.
11 am.
There is only one day to go before the film Pearl Harbor is officially released in North America. No, to be exact, there are less than ten hours left.
Actor Ben Affleck, who plays the leading role in the film, drags his tired body back home and takes a break.
"Ben, according to the instructions of the Disney group, you must participate in an interview recording on ABC TV station at 3 p.m. this afternoon to further promote the film Pearl Harbor. Therefore, you don't have much time off today." The male agent said.
"OK, I see!"
Ben Affleck said impatiently: "God! After more than ten days, I didn't sleep more than five hours a day. I was either doing TV talk shows, interviewing reporters, or following the crew of Pearl Harbor to promote... "
"Take today for example..."
"I got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and flew back to Los Angeles from San Francisco. As soon as I got off the plane, I didn't have a bite of breakfast, so I was interviewed by three media, as well as two local outdoor publicity activities in Los Angeles. It's rare to have a break now. In the afternoon, I'm going to talk to ABC TV
Ben Affleck constantly complained and poured out bitter water.
Wen Yan, the agent said earnestly: "Ben, you are now in a critical period of rise. You have to make a hundred times more efforts than others. Don't forget, how much did you pay for the movie Pearl Harbor?"
Ben Affleck
At the moment, the future Batman Bruce Wayne in DC: Justice League is silent.
He did pay a lot for the movie Pearl Harbor.
In the early stage of the film shooting, he received a lot of pilot training, which lasted for a whole month, and he lost 7kg.
The most important thing is that in order to win the leading role of Pearl Harbor, he voluntarily gave up the high pay!
According to Ben Affleck's current market quotation, his salary for acting as a leading actor is about $9 million to $12 million.
But what about the hero of Pearl Harbor?
His pay is only $2 million, and there is no box office share!
The actress Kate Beckinsale, who plays the leading role in the film Pearl Harbor, also lowered her pay, which is only $1.5 million, far below her real offer.
Hehe~
Disney's stingy, stingy, is also famous in Hollywood!
"Well, Dane, you go first. I need a rest." Affleck waved his agent away.
He felt too tired.
Agent Dane nodded: "well, you pay more attention to rest, 2 pm, I'll come to pick you up."
Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong~
Just at this time, the doorbell of the door of the villa Alfred was rung.
"Er... Who is it? It's Matt! "
Originally listless, and even some upset, Affleck, through the monitoring screen to see clearly who came.
——Matt Damon!
It's a well-known thing in Hollywood that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are very close friends.
"Here comes Matt. I'll meet him."
Now Alfred where there is a little tired look, the whole person is full of excitement.
Agent Dane left;
Okay, Keiyo, Matt Damon's in.
......
"Ben, we are good friends and brothers, so I'm here to remind you that when you promote Pearl Harbor, you should try to make less mention of ward's film" District 9 ". Even if the presenter and the media reporters deliberately create conflicts, you can't directly slander and belittle the film" District 9 ", OK?" Matt Damon warned.
"Why?"
Affleck frowned.
It is the usual way for Hollywood films to promote themselves, praise their own films and belittle other films released at the same time.
Matt Damon said in a deep voice, "man, don't forget that the boss of Wald pictures is Mr. Zucker Wald."
Chuck?
Hearing the name, Affleck blurted out, "what about that?"
Matt Damon shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I have known and contacted Mr. Zucker Wald for a long time. Although he is always smiling and harmless, he is a very vengeful guy. You can say that there are some problems in the film "District 9", but it must not be made out of nothing, otherwise, according to my understanding of him, he will definitely take measures afterwards. "
bear grudge!!!
Alfred frowned, "is he so bad?"
"Yes, even more than I said." Matt Damon said solemnly.
In contemplation~
However, less than ten seconds later, Affleck's brow completely stretched out and said with a laugh, "man, it's not as serious as you said."
Matt Damon said heavily, "Ben, don't take it seriously. I won't lie to you."
"I know, I know."
Alfred waved his hand perfunctorily and said in a relaxed tone: "well, regardless of him, tomorrow, my movie Pearl Harbor will crush District 9. As director Michael Bay said: "how much can a science fiction film cost only $30 million?"
Confidence!
Very confident!
Alfred, who participated in the film Pearl Harbor, believes in his ability to star in the film.
Director Michael Bay's goal has never been Ward's new film District 9, but Titanic, which broke the box office record in film history.
Alfred laughed at Matt Damon and said, "look, man. Once the movie "Pearl Harbor" is released, my status will go up to a higher level. It's absolutely not empty talk to be popular all over the world. Hehe, I'm one step ahead of you. "
Honey confidence?
Matt Damon, however, was not so optimistic. He said with a wry smile, "I hope so."
......
At 3 pm.
Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, the heroine, jointly attended an interview with Disney group's ABC TV station to promote the film Pearl Harbor.
Sure enough
In order to create a topic, the host of the program asked many sensitive questions.
Although Ben Affleck is full of honey and self-confidence, he has more or less listened to his brother Matt Damon's admonition. In his words, he didn't mention ward pictures' film "District 9".
However... Kate Beckinsale, who plays the heroine, is much more incisive.
"You asked me about Wald pictures' new book" District 9 "
"I'm sorry, how ugly can a movie be if it costs only $30 million to produce? Oh, at least I don't think it can be compared with Pearl Harbor at all. "
"Is Wald strong?"
"The movie" District 9 "is the beginning of their falling down from the altar and becoming mortal!"
Is the mouth open?
No brain?
Ha ha ~ Kate Beckinsale doesn't care at all. She is confident that after the release of Pearl Harbor, he will be popular all over the world.
As for offending Zucker?
She really doesn't care at all. It's better to please the golden owner Disney group than anything else.
Well, that's the confidence!
During the recording, Kate Beckinsale looked at Affleck contemptuously and said with a smile, "what a cowardly man. He didn't even dare to say a few words of attack. He's a coward!"
"The first watch" is presented.
