Chapter 101 Premiere of "Furious" (seeking subscription recommendation)

Eva Green was lying on the bed limply, and her gradually sober brain was filled with a tender aftertaste of last night.

There was a rustling sound of clothing rubbing in my ears, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, reflecting the calmness of the time.

She turned around and watched Lyman get dressed and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Lyman." Eva Green said, only to find that her voice was a little hoarse and her voice was extremely dry.

Lyman just raised his head slightly and glanced back at her, his eyes seemed to be asking "Something?"

"I can," Eva Green continued, plucking up the courage, "Can I accompany you to the premiere of "Furious" tonight?"

Paramount Pictures and Europa Pictures have negotiated to hold a film premiere in both locations.

Eva Green, as an insignificant role in "Furious" that can be replaced by anyone, was naturally not invited and had this opportunity to participate.

With Lehman, it’s different. He is the director of this work, and he is born with no shortage of media attention... If she can set foot on the red carpet tonight as a female companion, that kind of The attraction is too great...

Eva Green bit her scalp, confided her deepest and most true thoughts, and then looked at Lehman nervously.

"No." Without even thinking about it, Lehman rejected this a bit excessive proposal.

Everyone knows that what media news likes most is hype, and Lehman doesn't want his private life to become a chat for others.

As this sentence was uttered, the atmosphere in the room immediately became weird.

Eva Green’s gaze became more complicated, with grievances mixed in it, and she was sitting on the bed with a quilt half-over, her slender and fragile collarbone was exposed, and her long soft hair was helplessly scattered on her shoulders, making her look lonely and chaste. Be pitiful.

He thought she was smart enough and knew enough about the general situation. How could there be emotions between them?Why have to go further?

Keeping your distance should be the wise choice.But obviously, this woman wanted more than he thought.

"You can participate by yourself, and I will send you an invitation letter." Lyman's voice quietly smeared a layer of alienation. The tone was cold, as if it was unpredictable and suddenly cooled. The weather made Eva Green wrapped in a warm bed, still sturdy and shivered.

"I thought I could be with you." She said calmly.

"I never thought about marrying you."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to be with you."

Looking at the thinner figure, Lyman was thinking in his heart: Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

This look, this posture, it seems that I can really make up my mind to endure not getting married or having status for a lifetime.

Lehman shook his head and said nothing, but his behavior had already been sentenced.He turned around and wanted to leave right away.

"Lyman." Eva Green shouted, her hoarse voice permeating a sorrow.

Lyman's pace stopped at the door, he turned his head and looked at her calmly, "I really...I really want to..."

Eva Green opened her mouth and tried to say something, but when the thought came to her lips, she was reluctant to say it completely. At this time, she only felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart, "I thought... I thought we were...different now."

She raised her hands, vacant in the air, as if expressing her opinion, and as if she was increasing her...persuasiveness?

Maybe she doesn't even believe it.

"That is your illusion, there is no difference between us."

An extremely simple and clear statement cut off all the unnecessary emotions. After speaking, Lehman opened the door of the room and left the apartment building without any pause.

"Bang." A muffled sound blocked all movement, all the noise and emotions in the room slowly settled down, and calm was quickly restored.

Eva Green hugged her legs and sat on the head of the bed blankly.

"Asshole." She muttered to herself, her voice soft as if she was not venting, but a verbal tease to her lover.It's just that the room is empty, so who do you tell it to?

Yes, there is no real fool in this world.

Lehman was right, she shouldn't have any wrong thoughts.

Don't have it at all.

Because from the very beginning, she knew there would be such a result, right?

Repeated and repeated fantasies can go further, in exchange for more resolute avoidance.

No expectations, no extravagant expectations, no touch... I should have known, understood, and understood the truth long ago, but why would I still lose my sense in front of him, thinking he would be different, thinking she would be different Yes, there is still room for the two sides to get along more calmly.

This kind of illusion that didn't know when, just like a moth fighting a fire, finally turned into ashes under a raging flame.

......

For this premiere, Paramount Pictures did a lot of work, and the premiere location was also placed at the Chinese Theater next to Hollywood Boulevard.

Approaching the evening, an early agreement was reached with the service company of the relevant event. With the joint efforts of the other party and Paramount, at this time, at least more than 500 people gathered on both sides of the street at the entrance of the theater. They were waving large and small. All of them look like loyal movie fans.

When Bella rushed to the scene, she saw this scene.

Thanks to her previous film review columns about "Three Fools in Bollywood", which was affirmed by the editor-in-chief and the audience, she is now well-known in the newspaper, and now she has come over from Salt Lake City. It's to get a glimpse of Lehman's new work.

Although a little surprised by the crowds, Bella walked quickly towards the main entrance of the Chinese Theater.

At this time, there was still more than an hour before the premiere officially began, but most of the news media reporters had already arrived at the scene, and it was so bustling.

Bella looked around at random, and found that most of the space on both sides of the red carpet was allocated to media reporters, and the crowd of fans holding all kinds of support cards was arranged behind these reporters. The location is also scattered along the sides.

So many people gathered together, making the entrance of the theater very lively.

The noisy sounds formed by talking loudly and chatting with each other can spread far away.

Standing in the turbulent crowd, Bella can clearly feel that the emotions of fellow reporters are surging and depressed. Everyone is looking forward to the box office trend of this year’s Christmas stall. This is the biggest carnival in the movie market every year. How can there be a lack of traffic and topical news?

Because no matter whether a movie is a wild victory or a fiasco, the result is destined for the media to be a feast of reports, and the hot audience attention will also increase the sales of newspapers and magazines.

Just like the mission entrusted to Bella: Before leaving, the editor-in-chief also specifically told her: We must write the film review column of this film, no matter good or bad, we must find the topic.

"Hi, you are here too."

A colleague who came to the scene greeted her with a smile.

Bella waved to the opponent, smiled and said, "Lucy, long time no see."

Lucy is a film critic under the Chicago Times.

Hearing this, Lucy shrugged, approached with a smile, and then asked casually: "How? What do you think of the box office of this movie? Will there be profit prospects?"

Before the release of each movie, industry insiders will analyze the market prospects of the movie. If the movie has a large investment and a high degree of topicality, perhaps the major newspapers will give their own predictions, such as "The Lord of the Rings 2 "The Two Towers", there are already more than six authoritative data analysis institutions, predicting that the global box office of this movie will exceed the previous film's $870.9 million, which will reach at least $900 million.

"It should be able to recover the cost, but I can't guess what the final box office will be."

Lucy chuckled and joked: "It seems that you are quite optimistic. You have to know that there is an official announcement given by a market analysis agency today. They predict that the North American box office of this movie will be around 50 million. Compared with their huge expenditure, it is obviously not very promising."

In recent years, the knock-on effect of market response has been valued by more and more people.

The failure of "Cutting Throat Island" cut the always-hot pirate theme directly and became the most unpopular choice; the fiasco of "Future Water World" also made many film production companies be cautious about science fiction works... .

The "Wind Whisperer" has just been pre-cooling, and this has to make various market analysis institutions sincerely not optimistic about the market performance of the same theme "Furious".

They believe that when it is released at this time, the audience will not be able to get out of the reputation of the bad film "The Wind Whisperer", and it is easy to deny "Furious" in their hearts for the first time. This is really not good for viewing. The choice of the audience.

Sometimes people are blind and will subconsciously listen to outside voices.

This is the reason why everyone is not optimistic, but Bella is inexplicably confident. She thinks that the market performance of the film should not be as bad as predicted.

Lucy looked at Bella with a smile, "Why, you are very optimistic about this movie?"

Bella naturally nodded, "I think it shouldn't be a problem to recover the investment cost by relying only on the North American market. Looking at the intensive publicity in the past few days, there will be audiences to join in."

Lucy shook her head, "It's useless to rely on publicity alone. At most, it will fool the audience into the theater at first, but the quality or reputation of the movie will ultimately be compared.

"Yes, what I believe is that the quality of this movie will be very good."
