Best Movie Star

Chapter 665: Mickey Mouse Covenant

Questions like this seem to be very easy to answer, but very difficult to answer.

However, the question itself is pre-set, and Helen Herman has prepared the answer for him. Of course, the answer is not a vulgar-sounding but practical answer to cater to market tastes.

"I've talked to a lot of people about this. You know, if you think it's a big risk, it's because you don't know the 'rules of the game.'"

Matthew's words made a lot of circles, "I think many people get it wrong because they confuse the two different concepts of film and film success. You know, the success of a film is not the same as the film itself. It doesn't matter too much."

He deliberately gave an example, "For example, in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, some people sold pet stones, and they sold stones to make money, and some people would pay to mail-order a stone as a pet. So, success It has nothing to do with the product itself. Of course if your product is very good then it will be easier to be successful, but having a good product doesn't mean you will sell well and vice versa, it's two different independent thing."

There was a slight pause, as if to sort out his thoughts, and then Matthew said something he had prepared, "So I think when you separate 'sales' from 'product', you might see those two things more clearly Thoroughly, so as to look at the art differently.”

After answering this question, Julie Wooster routinely asked a few other questions, and then it was time to answer questions from netizens.

"This is an online interview, and now there are more than a million viewers watching this interview." Julie Wooster put on an unbelievable look, "There are millions of viewers, it's amazing!"

Matthew said at the right time, "Thanks to netizens and fans for sitting in front of the computer and watching the two of us gossip."

Julie Wooster quickly echoed, "Yes, thank you netizens!" She continued, "Now we will extract some questions from netizens. Matthew, are you ready?"

Matthew smiled, "I hope it's not difficult."

"Okay, the first lucky netizen to ask a question appeared." Julie Wooster said directly, without being long-winded, "His question is: Matthew, when your fans encounter difficulties, will you Help them like Phyllis Beretta?"

"I will help them appropriately." Matthew specifically mentioned the word 'appropriate', and then explained, "Anyone will encounter difficulties. When facing difficulties, they not only need external help, but also need their own efforts. The same goes for Phyllis, I just provided her with a place to live, and she is now working hard with her hands to support herself and get her life back on track."

He paused for a while, and then said, "I won't help with general difficulties, because difficulties are the experience of life. Like what happened to Phyllis, it's no longer difficult, and this is the person who needs help the most. ."

This is the principle of not helping the poor.

Julie Wooster looked at the computer screen and said, "Let's move on to the next question. This netizen seems to be your die-hard fan, and he said: Matthew, it's not too much to say that you are God's favorite, you Your star journey is very magnanimous, there are almost no big ups and downs, what is the most important thing for you to go all the way up to now?"

"Effort and luck." Matthew is not nonsense, "In the years I worked hard in Hollywood, I encountered so many difficulties that I could not imagine, but these difficulties did not knock me down. I worked hard to overcome one difficulty after another, and I was lucky. up to now."

In fact, many of the extras who were with him worked harder than him, but none of them could really get out, and the reason was self-evident.

Just as talent can be buried, hard work is not the key to getting ahead in Hollywood, but a foundational factor.

The subsequent interview inevitably turned to the gossip stage. Matthew was also calm and calm. He dealt with all the questions from netizens.

The 40-minute online interview ended, and Matthew shook hands with Julie Wooster before walking out of the interview room.

Just after returning to the lounge next to her, Elena Boyar came over.

"Has there been any heavyweight inside information recently?" she asked.

Matthew said as he packed up his things, "Does it count for a movie that will sell out in November?"

"Your Twilight Saga?" Yelena Boyar shook her head, "Is this kind of theme outdated? I hope your investment of tens of millions of dollars will recover the cost."

Matthew looked at his watch, "Okay, I won't tell you, I'll talk to you another day, I'm going back."

Elena Boyar asked curiously, "In such a hurry?"

"I made an appointment with someone to talk on the phone for a while." Matthew took out his phone and glanced at it, then waved to Elena Boyar, "Goodbye, Elaine."

Outside the TMZ newsroom, Brown Williams pulled his car in front of the door, and after Matthew got in, he said, "Go home."

On the way back to Beverly Hills, he got a call from Emma Watson.

Yesterday, Emma Watson specifically sent him a text message and agreed to call around this time today.

"You called at the right time," Matthew said to Emma Watson, who was far away in London. "I just finished attending the event."

Emma Watson's voice came through the receiver, "I'll be in Los Angeles next week, have you thought about how to entertain me?"

Matthew said deliberately, "I'm going to notify the entertainment media here one by one after the meeting, telling them that Emma Watson is coming to the City of Angels, and then organize a grand welcoming ceremony for you."

"You..." Emma Watson gritted her teeth over there, "If you dare to do this, you will die."

"Since you don't like liveliness." Matthew stopped joking, "then be quiet, then I will drive to pick you up by myself."

"Okay." Emma Watson responded.

Matthew asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to come to Los Angeles?"

"Warner Bros. is having a big premiere for The Dark Knight next week," Emma Watson explained on the phone. "They invited me to attend, and I'm on summer vacation, so I said yes. Just a little bit of Batman's heat."

"So that's what happened." Matthew said in a deliberately defeated tone, "I thought you came here specifically to see me."

Emma Watson's laughter sounded in the receiver, "I'm here to see you, to attend the premiere by the way, so that's all right?"

Then, Matthew asked her the time and flight that she came over, agreed to pick her up at that time, and hung up the phone.

Warner Bros. clearly takes The Dark Knight very seriously, and since Heath Ledger passed away, they've written so much about it that even before the movie came out, the Joker has become a myth.

Matthew has also received an invitation from Warner Bros., and is about to collaborate with Christopher Nolan on the film "Inception", and will also attend the premiere of "The Dark Knight" at that time.

He then specifically called Bella Anderson and asked Bella Anderson to inform Armani to prepare an all-black dress for him.

Regardless of the actual situation, it is not a bad thing to properly show respect for the deceased.

Whether it is the audience or the media, for a person who has left this world, tolerance and sympathy will be maximized.

In a busy week, "Superman Hancock" also ushered in the second weekend of North American release. Due to the excellent box office performance in the first week, the number of North American theaters for this film has exceeded 4,400, and the average film placement rate is also stable. in the first place.

This weekend, the only film that really has the strength to challenge "Superman Hancock" is "Mamma Mia" starring Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep.

"Mamma Mia" is adapted from the stage play of the same name that premiered in London in 1999. It is a typical musical. It was invested and produced by Tom Hanks's Pretton Films, with an open production cost of $52 million. , the number of theaters released in the first week is less than 3,000.

This film, from investment to starring to genre, is unlikely to bring much challenge to "Superman Hancock".

Also as top-notch Hollywood stars, Matthew and Meryl Streep are completely different types~www.readwn.com~ In terms of acting skills, Matthew is not an opponent at all, but when it comes to business appeal, three Meryl Streep is no match for him.

So, as the weekend passed, "Superman Hancock" remained firmly at No. 1 on the box-office charts.

Compared to last weekend, the film's box office dropped 51 percent this weekend, taking in $41.1 million, beating "Mamma Mia"'s $27.75 million, and taking the second box office top spot.

"Mamma Mia" came in second, and "Wall-E" took another $18.7 million to come in third.

So far, "Superman Hancock" has been released in North America for two weeks and has accumulated a total of 162.6 million US dollars at the box office, which has surpassed the 161.15 million US dollars of "Robot Wall-E" in its three-week release.

In addition, the film has also appeared in more overseas markets, including the market across the Pacific, and the number of countries and regions it has been shown has increased to nearly 80, with a cumulative overseas box office of 146.2 million US dollars.

The overseas box office of "Superman Hancock" easily exceeded 300 million US dollars, and continued to attack higher numbers.

Of course, behind the high box office is the relatively general reputation of the film.

Including Matthew, we all know that the trend of this film cannot be as strong as "I Am Legend".

But the huge profit of the film is not a problem at all.

At the same time, after two months of screening, "Iron Man", which Matthew participated in, has exceeded 300 million US dollars at the North American box office and more than 500 million US dollars at the global box office.

Marvel Comics' first film independently produced, without a doubt, a huge success.

It was against this backdrop that Matthew received a call from Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger.
