Chapter 800： Brand new record

In the luxurious dressing room of abc TV station in Burbank, Los Angeles early on Saturday morning.

Nicole Kidman, who had finished putting on makeup, sat in a chair, flipped through a newspaper, and waited for the call of the live broadcast of "Good Morning America."

The live broadcast is still preparing, she doesn't need to go there for now.

This is the promotion period of "A Fairy Wife", and it is also the first commercial film after Nicole Kidman became the best actress in the Oscar.

Nicole Kidman has never believed in the Oscar queen curse, and since leaving Tom Cruise, using the compassion of the North American public, she is really very popular.

Several works after the divorce, no matter "Small Island Cry", "Moulin Rouge" and "The Moment", all have good commercial and reputation.

This also gave Nicole Kidman an idea, maybe she can become the new Hollywood sister.

If you want to be a Hollywood sister, the Oscar queen is far from enough. After all, Oscar has a queen every year, and she needs to have enough commercial appeal.

What is the most proving business appeal? Movie box office!

The door of the dressing room was knocked from outside, Nicole Kidman recovered, put down the newspaper in his hand, and said clearly, "Please come in."

Broker Pat Kinsley pushed in.

Nicole Kidman turned to look at the agent and asked, "Pat, is it time?"

"No." Pat Kinsley said, "You will have to wait about fifteen minutes, and they will come to notify you."

Nicole Kidman is not dissatisfied, after all, this is abc TV station, the nation’s top morning program "Good Morning America".

Pat Kinsley glanced at Nicole Kidman, hesitated a little, and said, "I just asked about the box office on the first day of the show."

"A Fairy Wife" is a pure commercial comedy. Of course Nicole Kidman cares about the box office and asked: "How many?"

No matter how bad the numbers are, always tell the parties, Pat Kinsley said softly: "The box office on the first day of "A Fairy Wife" in North America was...$7.58 million!"

Nicole Kidman can't believe this number: "Pat, I didn't catch it, how much do you say?"

She is an Oscar actress. Since the divorce, her works have been a big success.

Pat-Kinsley said: "7.58 million U.S. dollars."

Nicole Kidman's pale face turned whiter instantly: "This is a commercial production with a production budget of 90 million US dollars!"

After years of hard work in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman would not understand that this kind of box office is not unsatisfactory, but very unsatisfactory.

Pat Kingsley didn't say anything to comfort Nicole Kidman. After all, she is an adult, and she must have the psychological endurance.

Nicole Kidman was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Where is Ronan Anderson's "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"?"

She knows very well that even if "A Fairy Wife" is adapted from a classic series, it is not as good as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Before, I always felt that it had its own appeal and it was not too far behind.

Pat-Kinsley’s voice is not high, but it is straightforward: "Pirates of the Caribbean 2's first day in North America made $58.97 million."

Nicole Kidman was surprised: "This... this is too exaggerated." She smiled wryly: "The box office of "A Fairy Wife" is not even the fraction of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2." Pat, I didn't. If you remember it wrong, $58.97 million should be the highest box office result on the opening day in North America, right?"

Pat-Kinsley nodded slightly: "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has set a new North American single-day box office record."

Nicole Kidman sighed: "Ronan Anderson's movies are getting better and better."

It is a pity that Ronan Anderson refused to cooperate with her, even though she was ready to give something.

"In business, Ronan Anderson is already at the top level in Hollywood." Pat Kingsley thought of the growing influence of Relativity Entertainment, and she would accept it before she was lucky, and didn't bite Tom Cruise. Don’t let go, otherwise the consequences will be serious: “When it comes to film profitability, Relativity Entertainment is terrible.”

Since Relativity Entertainment is not a listed company, nor is it a multi-shareholder company, it does not need to make public financial statements, and the outside world can only make estimates.

Pat-Kinsley has read an analysis by Forbes magazine, saying that the online and offline profit of Relativity Entertainment in film and television last year may reach 1 billion US dollars.

Originally, she thought it was a bit exaggerated, but looking at the movie box office of Relativity Entertainment, there are more profitable DVD revenues, it seems that this is also normal.

I remember Caa’s internal discussion, saying that through Netflix’s rental and sales platform, the DVD rental and sale of Relativity Entertainment’s movies are crazy.

Nicole Kidman suddenly said: "Pat, what about the reputation of "A Fairy Wife"?"

If the word of mouth is good, the film can maintain a steady trend. It is difficult to break out like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", but it can always make the film pay for its cost?

In that way, it also means success.

Pet-Kinsley can’t open his eyes and tell lies about this kind of thing, but can only tell the truth: "Word of mouth...fair."

Nicole Kidman was disillusioned for the last time, and still asked: "Be specific."

"The freshness of rotten tomatoes is 25%. Imdb temporarily scored 4.9 points." Pat Kingsley felt terrible, but he couldn't mislead Nicole Kidman in this regard. He could only say: "Audience ratings For c, it is predicted that the North American box office will fall at around US$50 million."

Nicole Kidman's already snow-white skin was now shining white.

Pet-Kinsli said a comforting word: "It doesn't matter, "There is a Fairy Wife" in the overseas market. If the publicity is done, the North American box office will increase."

Hearing this, Nicole Kidman suddenly thought of something, was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Pat, you go to communicate with the program team, and see if you can temporarily change the setting."

She lowered her voice and said a few words to Pat Kinsli, who nodded slightly and left the dressing room to talk to the show crew.

Soon, Nicole Kidman entered the live broadcast room. After waiting for a while, the news broadcast ended and the camera switched to this side.

The host had a brief chat with Nicole Kidman, and went directly to the topic. The first question was asked: "Nicole, you have been in the film for 20 years. What is the most memorable thing during that period?"

Nicole Kidman said frankly and honestly: "Tom Cruise! He is a person I will never forget. Although we used to have sharp contradictions, even though we were divorced, when I faced my heart, I can only admit one thing. Tom Cruise is something I will never forget. It is the person I have paid the most and I love the most."

The host looked surprised and asked: "Will you get back together?"

"I don't know." Nicole Kidman looked very hurt: "I'm afraid I will be hurt again..."

The topic of this interview completely changed, Nicole Kidman started talking about Tom Cruise.

Compared to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are equally concerned.

At this moment, it attracted countless media reports, and a large number of movie fans began to discuss the marriage of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and even some movie fans and gossip newspapers tied Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

I have to say that when La Tom Cruise came out to whip the body, it was a very smart choice, and it easily won a lot of attention.

On the other hand, Nicole Kidman used Tom Cruise to get some sympathy points.

Although this kind of sympathy will consume a clean day sooner or later, it still has some effect now.

"A Fairy Wife at Home" bounced back at the box office on Saturday, earning $8.45 million.

Under such a bad audience's word of mouth, and the box office rebounded, it can only be said that Tom Cruise is still one of the most watched Hollywood stars.

But in the face of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", these are not enough to see. The appeal of the so-called Oscar's best actress is incomparable with a real commercial movie.

Because it is a sequel movie, too many audiences flocked to watch it on the premiere day, and the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" fell off the day after its North American release.

However, the single-day income is still as high as 52.75 million US dollars.

Two days after its release in North America, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" exceeded the $100 million mark at the box office.

This is also the fastest single film in the history of North American film to break 100 million records.

Although it has only been screened for two days, everyone who knows the industry knows that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is bound to set a new North American weekend box office record.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" also makes the image of Captain Jack Sparrow more full of unstable life, wild personality, do whatever you want, contradictory and chaotic.

Some fans also summarized: Jack Sparrow represents a beautiful and lazy self-confidence. The thick eyeshadow on the eyes and the series of beads on the hair are signs of "freedom". The word "pirate" is used by fans. "Absolute freedom" is represented in his heart, and he feels like a rock star in the 18th century.

There are also fans who think Captain Jack Sparrow is a shrewd adventurer, with a relaxed, happy, and smooth tone without pause, speaking soft and cunning rhetoric like a woman, walking and swaying. Wind up.

Johnny Depp is a big hit. With the success of two "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has become one of Hollywood's most appealing stars.

A reporter interviewed Ronan specifically about Johnny Depp.

"There is no doubt that Depp is at his peak." Ronan naturally praised Johnny Depp: "Depp has created a great role in film and television, and he is the best actor of this era. One, I am proud that Relativity Entertainment can work with such actors."

Some reporters also asked Nicole Kidman about Tom Cruise recently. Ronan remained silent as he should.

The smartest way to do this is to close your mouth and let Tom Cruise handle it himself.

By the way, in the movie "There is a Fairy Wife", is the child born by the witch and the hero of Nicole Kidman considered a mudblood?
