Best Actor

    People have a lot of things to be happy about at a stage, for example, they have achieved excellent results in their work, and a specific example is that even in the summer vacation, "My Grand Greek Wedding" is still still in Retained at the North American box office.

    At this time, the number of theaters has been reduced to about 1,000, but the weekly box office can still be about 7 million. It seems that there is still a lot of stamina. It seems likely, but he himself seems more optimistic.

      Ten thousand. However, his ability is really good. Since Sean promised, the current production company has moved to Burbank, and the distribution department has also been set up. After all, Vladimir is a person who worked in Bowei's distribution department.

    However, it will take time to complete the grinding and form an effective operation. Vladimir is only one person after all, so for the time being, we only need to wait for "My Great Greek Wedding" to go offline and release the DVD work. , which is also a place to make money.

    Basically, Sean has made a decision, and whether it's Galen or Sanders, Neil, or Frederick are in favor of developing the production company if there is an opportunity grow.

    "Any company that wants to grow has to go through this stage." Galen said, "Since you don't particularly care about control, you only need to maintain a certain right to speak."

    "Vladimir's suggestion is also good. Set up a subsidiary to make movies according to your own wishes, and then hold the copyright in your hands. Even if they want to dare you to go out, they will carefully consider the pros and cons. "That's what Sanders said.

    "As long as you want, I can get at least 10 million investment for you," Neil said, "Of course, I personally think that if we can make more movies with good box office, then more investment.”

    But Frederick's mood is much more complicated, although he only has one sentence: Just don't delay your main work.

    From a personal point of view, Sean is still the most famous client in his hands, so he hopes that he will continue to move in the direction of a big star. But from a company point of view, it would be better if Sean's production company would make "My Big Greek Wedding" a few more times from start to finish with the people they recommended.

    In fact, he thinks too much, Sean is very clear about what he wants to do, just like the words he often talks about, as long as he decides, he must go on unswervingly , Actor is his main business, which cannot be changed.

    As for the production company, of course, it must be seized. Being a producer here will have a greater right to speak. Which famous star or director has not also served as a producer in some movies. As for control, it depends on the situation. In the current US society where the investment environment has been perfected, if a company wants to develop, it is impossible not to deal with those venture capitalists, and it is impossible not to share a thin shareholding.

    In short, as long as everything is careful not to let them squeeze themselves out of the company, and Sean believes that a low-budget, high-grossing film like "My Big Greek Wedding" is not worth it. Come on, you will meet again in the future.

    In addition to the success of the career, it is also gratifying.

    After the closing of the Cannes Film Festival, at the end of May, Disney spent 140 million to claim that "Pearl Harbor" was finally released in more than 3,000 theaters in the United States, and then received a box office of 59 million in the first week. This data looks very good, but compared with the cost, it makes people shake their heads. You must know that "The Mummy Returns", which was released at the beginning of the month, only cost 98 million yuan, but it had a box office of nearly 70 million in the first three days!

    It was a very bad start, no doubt, and to make matters worse, the critics were almost scolded.

    "The film's long pacing is impatient, the slow plot is lethargic, and two-thirds of the story before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor could be chopped off." The critics wrote so.

    This is a relatively good evaluation, and more people scolded for it: "This is a meaningless movie, Pearl Harbor is one of the most important events in World War II, and it is also One of the most tragic injuries our country has suffered, countless people have died because of it, and the movie basically revolves around the love triangle of the three protagonists. This movie should not be called "Pearl Harbor", it should be called "Pearl Harbor" Rafe who became the father of Danny's children would be more appropriate."

    Yes, the slowness of the movie is only a small thing, with Michael Bay around, the slowness of the plot is not very slow, and everyone who has watched it also admits that the bomb spiraling down The viewing angles are excellent, so falsification of history is an important reason why this film has been strongly criticized.

    "I was very angry because we had so many deaths in Pearl Harbor. I saw many bodies being carried away, many wounded soldiers bleeding on stretchers, and people jumping in in despair A sea of ​​burning oil. But this film only tells the story of two people, as if no one else exists!" This is what a survivor of the year said in an interview with reporters.

    So a reporter wrote: "This should not be a war movie, this should be a romantic movie."

    So, "Pearl Harbor" not only has a score of 6 on imdb, but also only 25% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

    It is said that scars are the medal of manhood. As the only place where the mainland was injured in World War II—even though Hawaii was not a U.S. territory at that time—Americans were naturally very concerned about Pearl Harbor. In addition, both Michael Bay and the producer were stupid and wanted to challenge the status of "Titanic", thinking that the model of disaster and love would be everything, but it fell.

    "Although the box office in the first week is close to 60 million, but with the current word of mouth, the next week's decline will definitely be around 50%." Vladimir once predicted.

    This is exactly the case. By the second week, the weekend box office directly collapsed to 28 million. Although driven by the one-week box office, Pearl Harbor still exceeded 100 million in North America, but everyone Know it's sluggish.

    "Well, I made the right choice." Sean seized the opportunity to show off to Frederick.

    "Yes, that's right, your opinion is always correct." The agent could only roll his eyes and answer weakly.

    In fact, although "Pearl Harbor" was bad at the box office and certainly did not meet the expectations of producers and Disney, it does not mean that it will lose money. Knowing more from Vladimir, Sean, about how the big studios work, that's for sure.

    The United States believes that the film has tampered with history, and it is a lot of flogging, but other countries are not necessarily so, so the North American box office is not good, and the overseas box office still has a lot of money. In addition, overseas distribution rights are another income. After all, this is produced by a major studio, and coupled with the Hollywood-style ledger, Disney will definitely not be able to lose money.

    And the big studios also have an advantage. They can connect more than 3,000 theaters for movies anytime, anywhere, and they can also give up some of the profits to allow the theaters to extend the release time.

    However, even if there is no loss at the box office, the word of mouth must be a real hit. As a leading actor with a bad word of mouth, I don’t know how Affleck will feel. What if he had thought of Sean, who had made a movie that was significantly more profitable than Pearl Harbor.

    It's just that nothing makes Sean happier than another thing.

    "Are you sure you put it here, Nami?" Sean, who opened the cabinet and searched for a long time, finally couldn't help turning his head and asked.

    "Of course, I'm pretty sure," Naomi, who was cutting vegetables, sighed, put down what was in her hand, wiped her hands, and walked over, "I'll make it clear to you. ."

    Speaking, she stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand, and took out what she was about to take: "Look, isn't it?"

    "You put it at the bottom, who can see." Sean muttered.

    "Okay, you'd better go out and read your script, don't mess with me here." Naomi snorted.

    "I can also cook, and I've done it more than once." Sean, walking out, sounded aggrieved, but what answered him was the slamming sound of the kitchen door being closed.

    "Okay..." Muttering again, Sean sat down on the sofa and continued to read the script on his laptop.

    After returning from Cannes together, the two of them didn't have any extra words, and their relationship returned to the previous situation.

    Well, thanks Galen. This was the first thing that came to Sean's mind when he came back. From Naomi, he already knew what Galen had done for him. Thank God, they didn't know what happened next. After half a year, the misunderstanding was completely cleared up. He and the two girls flew together.

    However, frankly speaking, Sean didn't think too much when he was instigated by Galen to go to Cannes, and the words he persuaded him were indeed his thoughts, at least to witness Naomi's success , to be sure she won't again.

    The next thing happened naturally, they kissed passionately on the beach, and then found a place where no one had no lights, on the beach under the stars, in the sea The sound of the waves lingered. After returning to the room, they rolled on the bed again and asked each other for it again and again. Not only did Naomi take the initiative to blow for Sean for the first time, but Sean also picked her backyard flowers.

    During the whole process, although Naomi was in tears, she always held Sean's hand and did not allow him to give up.

    So, the two returned to their previous appearance without saying a word after they came back. In fact, they still had a very strong feeling in their hearts.

    "Not bad, a lot of progress." Sean likes this feeling, so even if the Chinese food Naomi is learning to cook is not so good, he still eats it all.

    A smile flashed across Naomi's face, and then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how does the script look."

    "Very feeling," Sean stroked his chin, "Just, I'm not sure if I should take it."
