Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 1084 - The Surge in Fan Recognition

"A good artsy girl since she left Woody Allen and other veteran directors of the circle of cooperation, headlong into the role of the Black Widow can not escape, all day on the screen punching and kicking which has little acting skills.

The critics sighed with hatred, but had to admit that this kind of film is a natural sellout.

Just look at the crowd after the movie is over. The body, the flesh, and the fight, the killing, the whole process does not drag, the box office is not far behind.

Even if the plot is nonsense and there is nothing worth remembering, but such an action movie with a little sci-fi setting, the mature narrative is something that the market can accept.

It's not just that the action film is not backward, many of the old male stars are not popular, and now suddenly there is a rare big female action film, but also with the gimmick of the supernatural, naturally can give the audience a different experience and sensory pleasure of joy.

"It's too flattering, too clever, if this isn't hot, who is? It was simply tailor-made." Leaving the theater, the critic looked back at Scarlett's name on the poster and muttered.

......

A big female play like "Superbodies" is a huge addition to the cast.

The absolute center of the chase has been at every event since the public screening - the

"I'd like to introduce our guest, Johnson Scarlett."

In a luxurious studio in New York City, the host was shouting so loudly that the following people were howling.

The presenter drummed loudly, and immediately the ghosts below wept.

"Jesse, Jesse."

"Natasha, Natasha."

"Can I get a picture with you? God, I want one of your autographs so badly."

"......"

All sorts of calls were being made, even with the Black Widow character's name being shouted, and it was a laughable situation.

On the flip side, how is this not a sign of Scarlett's expanding popularity, with the addition of character filters, it's easy to fall in love with an actor and see her as an idol.

It was hard for Scarlett to feel the huge outpouring of support all around her, and after the usual walk backstage, it was hard to calm down.

The endless limelight of being in the ring has been fantasized about from time to time, but this moment came so easily: a Black Widow, a Jesse, and two roles with major action scenes that had her being sought after like this, somehow felt unreal.

"Haha. After this run, we're off to England for a publicity run."

Scarlett's agent couldn't hide a smile and leaned in, combing through the process, "and then we're going to fly around Europe for a bit, and we won't be back shooting until about late March."

"How's the word of mouth on the movie?" Tired after a long day, Scarlett didn't even have time to pay attention to the feedback news about the public screening.

"Uh ...... Movie reviews are poorly word of mouth. The Rotten Tomatoes website included 121 media reviews with a fresh rating of 63%, and MetaCritic, the authoritative media review site, included 40 media reviews with an average score of 61. However," the agent laughed, "it doesn't matter what the reviews are, this is a commercial film. Just look at the outcry, the audience is willing to buy tickets to support us."

"By the way, Blue Butterfly has arranged a few interviews over there, and we also have a show coming up in the UK ......." The agent continued to report cheerfully, "After a few busy days, after winning the weekly crown, the talk about you will only be higher."

"Did they say what magnitude the film will fall on in its first week?"

"About 50 million. That's what Mr. Liam told me himself."

"Fifty million? That's good."

"Don't worry, the market favors us, just forget about the bad reviews."

**********

Attendance at the midnight show was good, but no one thought it was time to stop.

While the theaters were still looking forward to the first week's numbers, the promotional push for Hurricane Rescue continued on all fronts.

After a series of promotions and investments in Johnson-Scarlett, she was flooded with content across all media platforms.

Of course, Scarlett herself has always been popular, and her name as a sexy girl was a big hit when she was in Lost in Tokyo. She has been in the market for more than a decade, and she has been the most popular girl in the world.

So, what Blue Butterfly Pictures really wants to do is just to let more people know that Scarlett has acted in a movie that is being shown in theaters.

Some of the fans who have seen the movie have also bought Scarlett's account, and there are many comments in the IMDB "Superbody" copyright review section praising her.

"Johnson-Scarlett is the best actress in action movies." "I want to see her up close.

"So excited to meet her up close."

"Scarlett is definitely an outstanding representative of the new generation of actresses."

"......"

In contrast, Luc Besson was cursed and had no room for a rebuttal - of course actors don't have the ability to change the plot, so is it not the director's fault that "Superbody" is so clichéd?

Not to mention that Luc Besson is a French filmmaker, and American critics don't even want to be polite to him.

Of course, Luc Besson didn't mind, as he was scolded whenever he produced a commercial film, and in this regard, every director in the world had been scolded by the critics, so this negative feedback was nothing.

When the film's first day box office was released, his efforts were duly rewarded.

On its first day of release in North America, including midnight showings, The Incredibles took in $20.28 million from 3,400 theaters.

If this trend continues, the March box office results of nearly 50 million is basically also dominant.

Looking at the freshly released market performance, and the forecasters are optimistic that the quality of the film will not fall short of audience expectations and cause a box office crash.

In the office of Europa Pictures, Luc Besson's sigh of relief, which had been more or less pressed into his chest after being scolded, was finally relieved, and he smiled at his old friend and said: "40 million investment, according to this performance, it will pay back the production cost in almost 3 weeks."

"Let's hope the global box office will be over 400 million just like Firefly said, the most important thing is that we have to guide the publicity on our own side." The old friend drummed up energy.

Well, Europa is in charge of the distribution rights of "Super Body" in France, and they certainly hope that while the movie sells well worldwide, the local region's revenue can be higher.

Luc Besson's casual estimation made his friend analyze the profit he could get from the film in detail: "Our opening day is only 4.36 million US dollars, and the market breadth is too different from that of North America. The final result will probably be 30 to 40 million. ...... The net profit is less than 5 million US dollars, and after deducting the expenses of our distribution department, the net profit is only low but not high.".

When Luc Besson heard this, he was in a good frame of mind: "Is it more than 5 million? If there is also this amount offline, it will be 10 million.

"Haha, I'm a little jealous. Alas, after all, the project was taken out by Firefly."
