Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 56 Super Nova?Just interest
There is no way, this combination is too eye-catching.

The media reporters who were still interviewing the director, screenwriter, Charlize Theron and others immediately changed their targets and gathered around.

Even some of the film critics couldn't help but join in the fun and followed.

"Wayne! This is your second collaboration with Jessica, right? Are you still pursuing her in the movie? You have always chosen Jessica to be the heroine of your movies. Do you have any thoughts about her? "

"Wayne! This film is said to have sold close to 4000 million US dollars. Is this true? Two consecutive films have been a huge success, and some people have already rated you as the greatest success after Leonardo DiCaprio and Keanu Reeves. Another super star, what do you think?"

"Wayne! It is said that your next movie is already."

Fortunately, DreamWorks knows the priorities very well and knows that inviting these media here is to build publicity for the movie and not for Wayne, so it didn't leave much interview time for these reporters before the film was broadcast.

So Wayne just put on a formal smile on his face, and after a few casual words, he successfully got rid of the harassment of these people.

As the lights went out and the movie started, everyone's attention turned back to the movie. After all, they had paid the carriage fee!
"Hey, super star, how does it feel to be famous and get attention?" Charlize Theron, who deliberately changed her seat next to Jessica, asked in a teasing voice.

"It's not that great. I'm just interested in making movies. It's too troublesome to deal with reporters and fans." Wayne glanced at her and whispered calmly.

Of course, making money is also one of the purposes, but this goes without saying.

Charlize Theron rolled her eyes silently, feeling as if she had asked a stupid question.

"So Mr. Big Star, who is just a hobby making movies, are you interested in going to my place for a drink tonight? You should be going to Europe soon, right?"

While speaking, Charlize Theron also looked at Jessica specifically.

But Jessica seemed not to hear it, still keeping a charming and sweet smile on her face, completely ignoring it.

So what if Wayne went to Charlize Theron's place tonight?After all, she is the one who lives in Wayne Manor, and Wayne fed her last night. If there wasn't a wedding ceremony to attend today, she and Mia could sleep all day!

So she has a very sage mentality now.

"Well, it was clearly stated when we signed the contract. Jessica and I will only participate in the promotion of "Happy Death Day" until one week after the official release at most, so we should fly to Switzerland around the [-]th of next month. At that time, you You should also join the group, right?"

"It depends on the situation. After all, I don't have as much confidence as you. If "Return to Glory" does well at the box office, I may have to run both ways."

"."

Wayne couldn't help but laugh when he heard "Back to Glory".

In this world, "Return to Glory" is still the same as in his previous life. It will be released on October 10, which is two days earlier than "Happy Death Day".

So he estimated that the box office of this movie should be similar to the previous one, or even worse. After all, this Halloween season has a strong competitor like "Happy Death Day".

"Honestly, I really don't know what Fox is thinking, actually releasing a sports inspirational movie during Halloween, a traditional horror movie!" Wayne couldn't help complaining.

"As far as I know, Fox's distribution department has investigated the changes in the Halloween audience in recent years and found that the proportion of teenagers among them has become higher and higher. In addition, there are large-scale commercial films released in the previous and later periods. , so they set the time at this time." Charlize Theron explained in a low voice. "What about the screening situation? The screening should have started by this time, right?" Wayne asked.

"Well, it started two days ago. It is said that the word-of-mouth and box office are very good." After saying that, Charlize Theron couldn't help but smile.

But after hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It's normal for "Return to Glory" to have a good reputation, but it should also do well at the box office, right?
But then he reacted.

Screening is a targeted selection of audiences. Good screening results only mean that the distributor is very good at selecting theaters and audiences for screening. As for the results after the official release, it is not certain.

Otherwise, Hollywood wouldn't have so many movies with impressive screening numbers, but as a result, once they are officially released and expanded, the box office will be dismal.

Of course, he will not pour cold water on Charlize Theron at this time. Otherwise, will he have an in-depth communication with Charlize Theron tonight?

Although he hadn't seen her for just a few days, he still missed this beautiful South African diamond that was at its peak of beauty and had a long shelf life.

Then Wayne stopped talking about Return to Glory, changed the topic, and chatted quietly with Charlize Theron while watching the movie.

As for Mia and Jessica, they closed their eyes and dozed off long ago after confirming that no one else would see them.

At this time, they were extremely envious of Hannah, who didn't have to come over and could stay at home and continue sleeping with her head covered.

Unfortunately, this is also one of the costs of becoming a producer and a star.

Unlike them, those audiences, reporters, and film critics who had never seen the movie were firmly attracted by the content on the big screen in front of them.

Pure time travel is not very attractive. After all, this setting has been around since the advent of science fiction movies.

But the setting of time reincarnation is different.

Returning to the starting point infinitely, and then being tortured and killed by an unknown murderer in different ways, struggling and collapsing in endless reincarnations, it is really strange at this time.

Especially after being directed by James Wan, the most criticized aspect of this movie - its lack of scares has been greatly enhanced.

The level of thriller and suspense is at least one or two levels higher than the conventional blood and murder films, which makes every audience unable to help but be attracted by the tense rhythm.Some people even realize that they have not breathed for a long time until they are covered in cold sweat and out of breath.

Coupled with a strong cast, especially the wonderful performance of Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins.

It is no exaggeration to say that this upgraded version of "Happy Death Day" is now close to or even reaching the level of a classic. Otherwise, Steve, who is as famous as Cameron and the head of the DreamWorks film department, Why would Vin Spielberg pay such a high price of $3950 million for an independent horror movie?
Do you really think that other people’s money comes from strong winds?

However, the person who really gained the most from this movie was neither Wayne, who made a fortune after the film was sold, nor Jessica, who was about to soar into the sky and become at least a second-tier actress, but who simultaneously James Wan holds two positions: screenwriter and director.
