Chapter 183： exposed

"Spider-Man" is rated PG-13, which means that children under the age of 13 should be guided to watch in the company of their parents.

Taylor Swift is 11 years old this year, and she is still under age. If she wants to enter the cinema, she can only discuss with her parents.

Her father is in New York, managing Dunn Capital, so she can only pin her hopes on her mother.

Andrea Swift has been asking Natalie's mother, Shirley Hirschler, about her experience in raising a daughter. After all, Natalie is so good.

With good acting skills, good looks, and the key is to go to Harvard University to study, this is definitely a genius in the entertainment industry.

Andrea didn't expect little Taylor to be so good. Going to the world's first university to study, at least she can teach her daughter to be more obedient.

Little Taylor's current temperament is too wild.

Ordinary families may be okay, but little Taylor will definitely develop in the entertainment industry in the future. Such a character... There will be a big problem!

The dark history of Drew Barrymore reported during this time is really scary.

So Andrea wants to raise her daughter in the direction of a lady, and doesn't plan to take her to see "Spider-Man".

Little Taylor was of course unhappy, stalking, trying to please, and acting like a spoiled child. In the end, he had no choice but to take out his trump card: "If you don't let me watch Spider-Man, I'll call Dunn, hum. You are still an employee of Dunn Pictures, don't you want to donate movie tickets for the boss's movies?"

Andrea was angry and helpless, so she had to take her to the cinema.

The cinema in the morning is usually empty and there is no atmosphere for watching movies. The mother and daughter went to the nearest cinema at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Today is Friday, and the flow of people is obviously more than usual, and there is already a long queue in front of the ticket window.

"Mom, there's no one over there, go buy it at that window!" Little Taylor pointed to the window next to him and dragged his mother there.

Andrea grabbed her, "There are other movies sold there, didn't you see the prompt on the window? There are "Sixty Seconds", "Mission Impossible 2", "Dinosaur", "Hardcore Detective", here It's Spider-Man."

Little Taylor's jewel-like eyes sparkled leisurely, "It turns out that everyone came to see "Spider-Man", Dunn is amazing!"

Andrea frowned, "Sweetheart, how many times have I told you, be polite. You can't call your name directly, you have to call Mr. Walker, or Uncle Dunn."

Little Tyler pouted, "He's my friend, not my uncle."

Andrea gritted her teeth angrily, "Your father is Dunn's colleague, so he is very friendly with you. Do you think you are really friends?"

"It's a friend!" Little Taylor was a little rebellious, raised his head and said unconvinced, "If you don't believe me, ask him, he told me personally, we are good friends!"

Andrea was really helpless, she no longer knew how to discipline this bear child.

At this time, the theater staff noticed that there were children here, and eagerly walked over and led them to the children's ticket window on the other side.

Andrea was pleasantly surprised by such a user-friendly service, and wanted to chat with the conductor, "It's the weekend, I'm very busy."

The conductor was busy playing tickets, and said without looking up: "It's not just busy on weekends, isn't this a blockbuster."

Little Tyler put his feet up, held the ticket counter, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's "Spider-Man"!"

Then the conductor raised his head and found that it was a little girl carved in pink and jade. It's a fight."

Little Taylor hummed: "I'm not afraid of fighting!"

Andrea grabbed her daughter angrily and said with a smile, "Looking at this situation, are you going to work overtime?"

The conductor sighed and said helplessly, "No way, it's just work. But fortunately, Director Walker only makes one movie a year, so he can handle it."

Andrea was a little surprised, wasn't it so exaggerated?

In the whole of Hollywood, only Dunn can keep the entire theater chain busy?

But if you think about it, it makes sense. In the entire history of Hollywood, only two films have grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, both directed by Dunn.

Seeing her surprised face, the conductor shook his head, "Have you not seen the movie fans who bought the tickets? Nine out of ten are for "Spider-Man". The manager was afraid that the children would wait for a long time to cause trouble, so he only opened the children's Special line window."

Andrea lost her voice: "Isn't that all the revenue of the theater for one day from "Spider-Man"?"

"What's the point of that?" The conductor looked calm and took it for granted, "That's a movie directed by Walker. If I choose, I'll watch his movie too! Our manager arranged 73% of the movie for Spider-Man. In my opinion, there are very few films, and they should all be arranged as "Spider-Man"!"

Little Taylor listened and immediately applauded, "Yes, I agree! Let the bad movies get out of the way, we only watch Dunn's movies!"

The conductor smiled half-smiling, "Do you like watching Dunn's movies?"

The meaning is obvious, Dunn's movies... are not suitable for children to watch, except for "My Great Greek Wedding", the ratings are all PG-13.

At a young age, Tyler certainly couldn't hear the deep meaning of the words. He raised his chin and said proudly: "Yes, I like it very much! Especially "Titanic", I have watched it several times!"

""Titanic"?"

The conductor was stunned and stared at Andrea, not knowing what to say.

In "Titanic", there are many scenes that are not suitable for children.

Andrea also obviously realized something, stared at her daughter, and said coldly, "Taylor, when did you watch "Titanic"? Have you secretly watched the DVD?"

Only then did little Taylor notice the slip of the tongue, stuck out his tongue, and felt that something was wrong, and quickly looked at his mother with tears in his eyes, pitifully begging.

It's over, it's too bad!

...

In the afternoon, Dunn got the latest audience's word of mouth.

After the pre-show yesterday, the audience gave "Spider-Man" a high praise rate of 99%!

Of course, the audience who can grab the tickets and go in to watch the movie in advance are all Dunn's fanatical fans and diehard fans of the comics, and they will definitely make some judgments that are higher than average.

By the release date, word of mouth will definitely decline.

"Our favorable rating is still very high, at 96%. The market trend and audience reaction are very healthy. As for the Disney movie..."

Isla Fisher shook her head, and the corner of her mouth crossed a bit of ridicule. "The audience's word of mouth has dropped to 67%, and they don't need to be crushed by "Spider-Man". Just the influence of word of mouth will kill them sooner or later."

Dunn shook his head and sighed.

Now, the Internet has just emerged, and the number of netizens is too small. Rating sites like Rotten Tomatoes, I don't know which workshop they live in, and it's impossible to develop without a period of seven or eight years.

In this day and age, what can really influence moviegoers' choice of movie viewing is the traditional movie critic comments.

As for the audience's word-of-mouth that Dunn got in his hands, this is a questionnaire filled out by the audience according to the distributor's request after watching the movie.

To put it bluntly, the audience's word of mouth at this stage has limited influence on the film. Distributors have plenty of ways to fool audiences into movie theaters.

Why is it more and more difficult for film companies to work more and more after more than ten years, and they go bankrupt one after another? And the surviving film company has to keep releasing movie sequels?

The main reason is that in the Internet age, everything has become transparent, and bad films have no room for survival. Gone are the days when the producers and distributors wanted to rely on a few big stars and public opinion to hype fans into the movie theaters to cheat money.

If everything becomes transparent and Dunn is confident, the current "Spider-Man" will definitely have more influence and gain more box office!

"By the way, there is one more thing." Ella Fisher paused for a moment and said cautiously: "The distributor...Universal Pictures, and the Endeavor brokerage company are currently planning a new marketing plan, I think there are I must tell you."

"what?"

Ella Fisher said: "The momentum of "Spider-Man" is very good now, but according to the normal market trend, the popularity will definitely drop after a month. The distributor intends to arrange the hero and heroine of the movie to have a relationship, in a After a month, we will make it public and take advantage of each other to re-hype the topic of "Spider-Man"."

Tang En gave a faint "Oh", "Since it's a marketing strategy, the publisher is responsible, it's good for us and harmless, let them get it."

Ella Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, only to confirm that Dunn really lost interest in Jessica Alba, otherwise he would not be able to let his female partner fall in love with other men, not even fake!

Just like she and Reese now, in the dating stage, they can't have contact with other opposite **** unless they have broken the relationship.
