Chapter 520： Completely different word of mouth and box office

Since the birth of Hollywood, I don't know how many beautiful female stars hate Oscars. Beautiful blonde hair, **** figure and exquisite face have almost become the biggest obstacles that everyone knows about wanting to win.

But there is never a shortage of smart women in this world. Playing ugly is undoubtedly the best way for female movie stars to break through their inherent image, and there are not a few people who rely on this method to ascend to the Oscar queen throne.

Of course, compared to the winners, there are countless actresses who pretend to be ugly. Pretending to be ugly is just a means to break the inherent image. If there is no meticulous characterization and grasp of the role, winning is still nonsense.

"Pretending to be ugly is just a means."

Ryan sat on the side of the bed, with a plate full of breakfast in his hand, next to a thick stack of newspapers, "This is just to match the character's image, not to win the sympathy of the judges."

Charlize, resting on his lap, showed beautiful curves, lazy like a golden cat. She opened her mouth, enjoying the breakfast that Ryan had fed, and said vaguely, "I know. It's just an actor's duty to play other people."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed the oil stains on Ryan's home clothes, "Honey, I want to hear the comments of those people, can you read it to me?"

"Happy to help, my princess." Ryan gently squeezed her cheek, put down the plate, and picked up the newspaper next to her.

An actress who is famous in Hollywood for her vase image has just launched a beautiful fairy princess that cannot be more beautiful, which is popular all over the world, and she suddenly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees. She is still very successful no matter how you look at it. , I can imagine the repercussions caused by the media and critics.

"In order to be able to portray the complex character and emotional world of the female murderer Irene Vonos more realistically, the famous beauty movie star Charlize Theron sacrificed her beauty. She gained 30 pounds while gaining weight through makeup. Changed her appearance. The sparkling blonde female star disappeared and was replaced by a vulgar street woman with yellow teeth, freckles and a strong body like a professional boxer."

Ryan took the lead in opening the Los Angeles Times. The headline of the entertainment version is the news about "The Devil". Ignoring those comments on the film, he read directly the part about Charlize. "Miss Theron's performance is just right, she is excellent every second, what a brave and powerful performance this is."

"Oh, it sounds really good." Charlize smiled very brightly. His face was buried in Ryan's belly.

Although the media praised her endlessly in the past, they basically put their pen and ink on that beautiful appearance.

""New York Times"."

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Ryan immediately changed a copy, "In addition to fully showing the rude appearance of Irene Vonos to the world in court, Theron also injected another soft side into the role. , Like a beast that has been fighting for years, occasionally has to stop for a moment to lick the wound. She just right shows the pain and injury that Vonos endures. This also makes the whole film show a rich layer. She is excellent His performance has injected enough vitality into this mediocre movie."

"Keep going!"

Turning over, Charlize climbed onto Ryan's lap. Acting like a little girl begging for sweets, "Honey, please continue?"

"Of course it's okay." Ryan nodded, and then picked up the "New York Post". The comments above were a bit sensational. "If those famously fussy and dull Oscar judges can come out and take a good look at "The Devil" , They know whom to vote for the best actress of the year."

"And...wow, this one is even more exaggerated."

Before Charlize could react, Ryan picked up another newspaper, "Miss Theron's performance in "The Devil" is the best performance in the history of world film and television. If this role does not get the best Oscar Actress award, then this award should be cancelled."

"The gunman you're looking for?" Charlize raised his face and looked over.

"Definitely not." Ryan opened his hand and said, "This is Roger Albert's film review. He also gave two thumbs up, not for the film, but for you."

"This is really..."

Charlize simply sat up, "Am I really so good?"

"It's better than you think." Ryan kissed her eyes lightly, "My dear, this is not a compliment."

Film critics can also be used for public relations, but at this stage Roger Albert wants money, money, and a famous name. If he wants to influence him, he must spend a lot of resources. Instead of spending these resources on one person, Might as well conduct a wider range of public relations.

Therefore, Ryan did not let people come into contact with this famous film critic.

However, this relatively unbiased film critic obviously appreciates Charlize's performance. His film reviews have a lot of influence on many judges who only vote with their feet.

This can be regarded as a windfall.

"Honey, trust me."

From the moment the movie was released, the powerful PR machine was activated, and Ryan also believed in the power of this role, "You will sweep the entire award season and conquer the jury of all awards."

"But before that, I want to conquer you first."

Those watery eyes showed how excited Charlize was. She pulled Ryan over, pressed him underneath, untied the straps of her home clothes, and buried her entire head at the bottom.

Although the quality of the movie can only be considered to be above-average, especially the portrayal of Irene Warnos and the homosexual plot, which has attracted a lot of criticism, Charlize’s performance in it has won unanimous praise from the critics. There is no such exaggeration as Roger Albert, but he also thinks that Irene Warnos is definitely the best female character on the screen in recent years.

After the film was released, the entire crew including South African Diamonds changed their previous low-key status and launched a huge publicity campaign with the assistance of the relevant team.

Ryan also mobilized all the resources that could be mobilized to build momentum for Charlize.

"Los Angeles Times" interviews, TV talk shows, parties convened by Ryan, you can see Charlize's active figure on these.

After staying with Ryan for so long, she is no longer the former Charlize Theron. The proficient communication and the gradually developed skills have also become a member of the Hollywood superstructure that cannot be ignored.

"Most of such films depend on the performance of the actor who plays the central role, so I think I must thoroughly show her cruelty and sensitivity."

Later, Charlize appeared on the cover of "Vanity Fair" and said in the interview very cleverly, "Eileen Vonos is definitely not innocent, and the film is not a defense for her. We just want to explore what it is. The reason has led to her becoming a murderous demon. How can we avoid similar tragedies from happening in the future."

These words, which were clearly in line with the mainstream social views, were praised by all major media afterwards, which added a lot of impression points to her.

Compared to the praise that Charlize has received, the box office of "The Devil" can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The film landed in North America with 500 theaters. The first week's results were mediocre, with more than 3.9 million US dollars in the box office. In the second week, the number of theaters increased to more than 650, and the box office also increased. The more than 4.5 million results did not make the theater. The line side greatly reduces the scale of the screening.

However, where the audience of the movie is, even if the hype and word-of-mouth are overwhelming, "The Devil" cannot change the nature of the niche movie. The box office in the third week is still only more than 4 million US dollars.

The production cost of "The Devil" is not high, only 10 million U.S. dollars, and correspondingly, the publicity and public relations expenses are as high as 15 million U.S. dollars.

Election bribery is almost impossible for the current Oscars, and Ryan will not do that. With Charlize's realistic conditions, it will be difficult for her to reach the top again.

Ryan's goal is not only Oscar, he wants Charlize to sweep the best actress of the awards season!

The Internet has become an indispensable part of life and entertainment in North America. In addition to traditional media, the public relations team's momentum will also not let go of this position.

"It was great! Miss Theron!"

"A breathtaking performance! This is the best candidate for the best actress!"

"The makeup is great and the acting is very shocking!"

News like this is countless on the Internet, and the navy is everywhere. The most important thing is that the cost is much lower than that of traditional media.

Of course, there are many spontaneous comments made by netizens.

"The role of Irene Vonos seems to be Charlize's true character. I am really worried about Ryan. I think everyone should know that he is a playboy. If Charlize, who had the same tragic experience as a girl, could not bear it someday. , Will you take out a revolver?"

Since Ryan’s hacking , there have been more and more lace news about him, and the objects are no longer limited to Nicole and others. Those female stars who have friendship have become the protagonists, even just now. Sixteen-year-old Scarlett Johansson was dragged into the long list of horrors by the media.

In this way, the firepower of the tabloids has been relatively scattered, at least there has been no concentrated attack on Nicole.

Compared with the aggressive publicity of "The Devil", Nicole's latest film "Moulin Rouge" is temporarily low-key. The film's official release date is after the New Year and before Christmas. It only held two theaters in Los Angeles. To qualify for the Oscars.

However, whether it is "The Devil" and "Moulin Rouge" or other movies, it is destined not to be the protagonist of the Christmas period. When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is overwhelmingly promoted, it will be the last of this year. At the time of the schedule, he became the well-deserved only protagonist.

The premiere of the film was selected in London. This time, not only the United Kingdom and the United States have achieved simultaneous releases, but also English-speaking areas such as Australia and New Zealand have also joined in.

Ryan temporarily handed over the work to others, and flew to London with Nicole and Taylor. ()
