Best Actor

      Sean, who came in through the door, looked at the time on the table again, and the number clearly indicated that it was only 7 o'clock.

    "Then I have to sleep..." Sean yawned and picked up Polk, who was gnawing on the edge of his shoes, with a clearly distressed look.

    "So you're really worried?" Galen laughed.

    "Well, I do have some concerns, after all, this is my first time as a producer," Sean sighed, "Although I haven't done much as a producer, but It's my work too, isn't it?"

    "When "The Genius Ripley" was released, didn't you still sleep soundly?" Galen immediately joked, "And you don't say it often, your intuition tells you that this film Will the movie be popular?"

    "Intuition is not 100% right," Shawn shrugged, "and it was different then, no matter the outcome, it would not make me any worse, and now, As you know, my career is already a small success, any loss should be avoided, which inevitably makes people worry about gain and loss. Just like Polk, now let it go back to the original small apartment and eat those poor dog food , it's not going to do it - right? You fat little dog, look at you, you're almost as fat as Lucy now."

    He scratched the chin of the puppy in his arms, and Polk barked twice, as if he was cooperating with the owner.

    "Just like that? Or feel fed up with those pesky buzzing flies and worry about not being able to shut them up?" Sanders' voice came from behind.

    "Okay, all—you're up too?" Sean turned his head in surprise.

    "You're up, why don't I get up?" Sanders spread his hands.

    "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well go outside and see if the paper has been delivered." Galen interjected.

    "I won't go, I've been tired of watching it for the past two days. Although they all think that "My Grand Greek Wedding" is very sincere and distinctive, it is a good movie, but It doesn't represent everyone's opinion." Sean grumbled.

     "Didn't Miramax say that, according to the feedback from the theater, the show was not bad, and there were a lot of viewers." Sanders said.

    "Yeah, but what I want to know is how the box office is this weekend," Sean sighed, "Damn, why does it take three days to count the weekend box office?"

    "Because the definition of the weekend box office is the three days from Friday to Sunday." Galen, who was busy with breakfast, rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "You asked for it yourself. , I will inform myself only after the weekend box office comes out."

    "I went out to get the newspaper." Sanders patted his **** and ran.

    Sean grinned and wanted to say something, but the phone rang, he picked it up and took a look, then put Poker on the ground and walked to the garden outside to connect .

    "Hey Sean, how are you, any news?" Katie's cheerful voice came from there.

    "Don't worry, you can do it for sure." Katie said confidently.

    If being mobbed by the tabloids is any good, it's the fact that several women are almost one-sided on his side, whether it's flamboyant in front of him and Michelle cuddling Jordana, or Naomi, who was full of worries, encouraged him on the phone or in person, not to mention Katie, who currently knew nothing.

    And even the little girl Camilla cheered him on the phone: "I will go to the cinema to support you, Sean, it must be a great movie!"

    As for Kate, who has little contact with her at the moment, although she didn't call or meet, Sean received an email signed by CB.

    Even, Jennifer said when she was tender that she would go back to watch the romantic comedy he made.

    "Those tabloids like some grandstanding stuff. The more they say that, the more they show that your movie is interesting." Jennifer said this while biting his ear on the bed.

    As she suffered from tabloid harassment, especially when she broke up with Pitt and was pushed to take responsibility, tabloids were unexpectedly rampant and almost went over the wall to her house, so Jennifer I know this feeling very well. So Sean took this opportunity to coax her into putting on the OL uniform that had left the country in "Friends" before, and let her climb on the table and let him enter from behind.

    Well, this is a little consolation in the misfortune, let's not mention this for the time being, when Sanders took the return paper, Sean watched and ate breakfast, as before, about "I Great Greek Wedding" reviews are all good.

    "A very interesting and sincere romantic comedy, Tula, who was born in a Greek family, is over 30 and has not yet married. Everyone in the family is worried about her life and can't bear the pressure. Tula of Tula wanted to change this life, then met high school teacher Ian and fell in love. So the problem came out that Tula's family would prefer her to marry a Greek, not Ian. Greeks, conservative fathers especially emphasized this, so if Tula wanted to marry Ian, she would have to get her own eccentric group of relatives and be baptized in a Greek Orthodox church.

    From this point of view, it seems to be no different from some ordinary high-laughter movies where daughter-in-law and father-in-law conflict, and then there will be various exaggerated and sensational methods to express each other conflict, and finally the parents understood the woman and agreed to their marriage. But this film did not choose to do so, probably because this is a semi-autobiographical story of the heroine Nia Vardals, so although there is conflict, it is not very intense, although it is sensational, it is not very intense. The film actually shows a life, showing the normal life of a Greek family or an immigrant family in the United States. If there is any charm in this film that cannot be ignored, it is this original, completely life that happens around us. "

    After reading in one breath, Sean threw the newspaper on the table, and then let out a long breath: "Well, today is a bit new, when it comes to the real reason for the popularity of this movie, it's just... I'm still more interested in the box office numbers."

    My Big Greek Wedding was released on Thursday, April 19th, which was chosen to warm up the weekend. It is very interesting to say that a movie is put down in a week, and the box office of the three-day weekend is often several times higher than the box office of the previous four days, so the weekend box office data is very important.

    Since that day, some film critics who have been following it from the beginning have written film reviews. They have all seen it at the Sundance Film Festival, so they are mainly praised. Then someone quickly came out to sing the opposite, thinking that the film was too bland, there was not much romance and there were not many laughs, and it was not qualified as a romantic comedy.

    But as more film critics join in—after all, this is a low-budget independent film, film critics, especially famous film critics, rarely watch it for the first time. Then, word-of-mouth, which has fallen back, climbed again, just like what happened at the Sundance Film Festival, many viewers who saw the movie thought the movie was interesting, which aroused more people's curiosity, so there is the above That one, belonging to Melanie Haas.

    Yes, that's Melanie Haas, the female film critic who compared Sean to the second River Phoenix in "The Genius Ripley". She is also very concerned about "My Big Greek Wedding". To a certain extent, if you deny Sean, you are also denying her. After all, it has only been a year since the sensation caused by "Genius Ripley" There are many, so even if you want to deny it, she has to deny it.

    But Nia Vardal's semi-autobiographical film obviously moved her, otherwise she would not have been praised and praised so much, and the reputation of this film will definitely be re-evaluated by a famous film critic like her. high.

    However, it is basically impossible to shut up some annoying flies by word of mouth, so Sean is still eagerly looking forward to the release of the weekend box office data.

    Finally, two or three hours later, Vladimir came to his villa.

    "Can you tell me on the phone soon?" Sean was surprised that he came in person.

    "Then what do you think I'm here for?" Vladimir asked rhetorically.

    "Um..." The other party hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say, but took a deep breath: "Well, to put it simply, 700 theaters, three days on weekends. to $11 million at the box office."

    The room was quiet for about ten seconds, and then he took a breath of cool hiss. Both Galen and Sanders looked shocked.

    "Wait, is 11 million a lot?" Sean, who was usually quick-witted, became extremely slow at this time. "Compared to 700 theaters, this number is not too much."

    "And topped the North American box office chart." Before Galen and Sanders gave him popular science, Vladimir immediately said this.

      Mid-budget movies can do the same.

    But don't forget, first of all, it's the off-season for movies, and the 11 million box office for three weekends is almost a high number, so it directly topped the North American box office chart; second, don't forget " The actual cost of "My Big Greek Wedding" is only a little over 3 million. If the production and distribution party takes 90% of the share in the first week, even if the book cost is more than 5 million, there is still money to be made.

    Sean burst into a burst of laughter, then took a deep breath, looked at Vladimir, and the strong confidence he used to come back: "This is just the beginning, right ?"

    "This is indeed just the beginning." Vladimir nodded and also took a deep breath.
