Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 111 Need to hype (seeking subscription recommendation)

In winter, the coldest months of the year, the most suitable place is to stay at home.

Every winter is also a good time for a large number of people to increase their fat content.

For the North American film market, the importance of Christmas stalls is really extraordinary.

Since the birth of this concept, the entire time period has been a huge part of the blueprint in Hollywood's business strategy, and it is also the time period of the year, second only to the summer time.

Together, the two schedules can account for 70 to 80% of the North American box office market share.

This situation naturally makes the Christmas stall a battleground for military strategists.

The interests of many people and the careers of many people will be witnessed by the market...

Beverly Hills, North America's famous rich and celebrity colony.

At this moment, in a manor that occupies a small hill, Halle Berry is active in the fitness room just as the morning sun has just climbed into the sky.

Female celebrities always have to work harder than others if they want to stay in shape. Not only do they need to pay attention to their diet, but also daily body shaping exercises are indispensable.

After jogging for half an hour and doing a few more yoga moves, Halle Berry took a towel and wiped the sweat off her forehead, ready to take a break.

When she came downstairs, she saw the housekeeper sorted the newspapers she had sent, and took the entertainment version at will, and walked slowly to a deck chair.

"Now, do you have breakfast?"

Just sitting down, the housekeeper asked.

"A whole wheat bread and a cup of hot milk."

"Okay, right now."

After a while, the housekeeper brought milk and a porcelain plate with bread, and put them on the small table in front of her.

Taking a sip of the milk and another bite of the bread, Halle Berry opened the newspaper.

After only a few glances, his brows wrinkled slightly.

What, film critics started?

The entertainment headline on the newspaper is exactly a column evaluation of "Furious" written by a film critic, signed by...Bella.

The title is: Ideals are always peace, and history is always cruel.

"In the enduring theme of war, there have been many excellent works, and naturally, there will be bad films. Looking at these films, whether for good or bad, there is always a contradiction. That is how to arrange the story and The big scene of the war. "Saving Private Ryan" focused on the story, and it succeeded; "Black Hawk Down" focused on the battlefield, it also succeeded, the most feared is that there are two directions, but they can’t talk about it. Outstanding performance. In my opinion, "Furious" is biased towards the story, describing the war they have experienced from the perspective of a tank team."

"After I watched it, in addition to feeling that the role was portrayed by the director as flesh and blood, the biggest feeling is truth.

"There are corpses all over, bloody, just driving the tank over."

"Some people say that this movie is very real in costumes and props, but I don't think so."

"That can only be said that the crew was careful when filming, but the real is not this, the real is war."

"It is not the sacrifice of several characters that makes people feel sad, but it tells a very clear reality."

"War always kills people, so why can't it be you?"

"This sentence is not wrong at all."

"I typed and expressed my feelings. At this moment, I can't experience the vigor and vigor on the battlefield. I just feel cruel and scared."

"Just like the recruit Norman in the movie, when he fired at the enemy for the first time, his hands trembled terribly. He might not be able to figure out why he wanted to kill that person. He is a soldier, and the opposite is also a soldier. Became an enemy."

"Is it ridiculous? I think not."

"Always consider your position first. It is a matter of the state and the world, not a personal matter."

"From the moment you walk into the battlefield, you must have only two kinds of people, your comrades and enemies."

"I am very fortunate to be born in this era. With them, our ancestors have endured all this for us. I want to thank them for fighting for us the right to make choices..."

"Finally, I still want to say, "Furious" was shot very well. There is no right or wrong in it. It just tells the story of a few soldiers. I hope it will appeal to you."

Halle Berry looked a little unhappy, so talkative, why not comment on "007: Die Another Day"?

With a bad mood, I watched several film reviews that touted "Furious" one after another until I turned it over, and gradually, the corners of my mouth began to rise.

"The story is old-fashioned, and the plot design is nothing new. They are all leftovers from the previous war movies. Is it worthy of praise just because of a tank-type skin?"

Obviously, MGM Home Entertainment's public relations campaign for "Furious" has already begun. Don't think about it. Everyone is a competitor. Discrimination should not be too common.

"Tank is handsome, and the scene is shocking, but the plot is clichéd. It is a typical dumb commercial entertainment film. After watching it, I don't remember what it said."

Even knowing that most of these bad reviews are arranged by oneself, but Halle Berry is still eager to browse. It seems that seeing these, you can imagine that the box office of "007: Die Another Day" has crushed "Furious". .

No one in the entertainment industry will be stupid, stupid can't survive at all.

Halle Berry naturally knew that the competition had risen, and it was more to find a psychological comfort.

She has seen the news reports of her own work a long time ago, and even with the premise of public relations, she was still overwhelmed by "Furious" in terms of word of mouth.

In fact, this is what she expected. After all, "007" has made so many films, how can it maintain its original prestige?

Besides, Paramount Pictures is not a fool, could it just sit there.Their propaganda department is not idle. While admiring themselves, like them, they did not hesitate to attack their competitors.

After eating breakfast a little depressed, the phone in the living room rang suddenly.

Halle Berry got up, the housekeeper had already spoken, "A call from the agent."

She took it, "Jones, what's the matter?"

"..."

Halle Berry's face gradually darkened as he listened to the news from the agent.

"You are at home, aren't you? Wait a while, I'll be there soon."

In a short while, Halle Berry's agent Jones rushed over.

She also had a bad complexion, and frowned slightly and said: "We have to think of something, otherwise we are very likely to lose."

Halle Berry naturally knows that she can now have her current status. Not only did she get the bonus of the Oscar queen, but she was able to eat in the field of commercial films and proved her market appeal to get so many actresses. For the opportunity of the vase, if the feedback on the performance of "007: Die Another Day" is not good, she must be the first one to take the lead.

Could anyone still blame "Bond"?He has acted in so many films, how can he change a heroine, this result is not enough?

The media will not think that there are too many factors for the bad response of the film. They will only grab a topic to hype it.

"Harry Berry is the worst Bond girl ever..."

"Her acting was a mistake..."

Don't think about it. When Halle Berry received the call, she knew that if she was suppressed like this, the media would definitely ridicule.

In recent years, she has gone too smoothly and blocked the way of many people. After all, there are so many vase roles. Everyone is a competitor. How could those people let go of this opportunity.Look at the jokes, isn't it the essence of the entertainment industry to step on a few feet?

"What should we do?" Halle Berry asked worriedly.

The box office statistics for the second day have come out. In addition to word-of-mouth being crushed by "Furious", the box office is also infinitely close.

One is 12.36 million US dollars and the other is 13.16 million US dollars.

In this comparison, although there is still a small advantage, don't forget that the box office growth rate of "Furious" is higher than that of "007: Die Another Day", which is not a good sign.

"I just consulted with MGM. What they think is, let you and Bond hype about the relationship, they will post articles on this to attract topic traffic." Agent Jones hesitated, and still made this proposal. Said it.She came here today mainly for this.

"Why?" Halle Berry was very strange.Although it is normal in the film industry to promote the love affair of the actors of the movie crew, she rarely does it for the purpose of maintaining the personality and having a certain reputation.After all, once this kind of thing is not well controlled, it is easy to lose the goodwill of one's own compatriots.

There are a lot of chaotic private lives in the movie circle, but no one wants to leave a bad impression on their fans or the people because of this kind of thing.What a bitch, what a ugly word.

This is very bad, very bad, so it is very strange.In the past, my own brokers rarely agreed to use this method. What happened today?

"MGM means to hype the relationship between the two of you during the film's release, and when the screening is over, we can just find a chance to end. And my idea is that the title of Bond can also be used. As for the loss, If you handle it well, the attention you get is definitely more direct than a little impression. Halle, your name is not loud enough, you need this."

Halle thought for a while before she said, "It's up to you."

After all, I went back to the gym to exercise.

What she cares about is not whether her love affair is hyped or not, but whether her own gains and losses are worth the whole thing.

Obviously, what the agent Jones said is a little bit reasonable. Bond's scandal with the Bond girl is obviously beneficial to the Bond girl. Since people don't mind, she has nothing to say.

Anyway, isn't the love of a female celebrity just a carnival feast that raises the value?
