Hollywood starts with animation

May 24.

11 am.

There is only one day left until the film "Pearl Harbor" is officially released in North America. No, to be precise, there are less than ten hours left.

The actor Ben Affleck, who played the leading role of the film, dragged his exhausted body back home and took a leisurely rest.

"Ben, in accordance with the instructions of the Disney Group, you must participate in the recording of a talk show on ABC TV at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The purpose is to further promote the movie "Pearl Harbor". Therefore, your rest time today is not much. "The male agent said.

"Okay, I know!"

Ben Affleck said impatiently at this moment: "God! I have not slept more than 5 hours a day after more than a dozen days. I am either doing a TV talk show, accepting interviews with reporters, or following. The crew of "Pearl Harbor" ran publicity..."

"Take today as an example..."

"I got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and flew back to Los Angeles from San Francisco. Just after getting off the plane, I didn’t eat a bite of breakfast. I accepted interviews from three media and two outdoor publicity events in Los Angeles. Non-stop. It’s rare to have the rest time now, in the afternoon...and ABC TV interview?!"

Ben Affleck kept complaining, and was utterly bitter.

Hearing this, the agent said with earnest words: "Ben, you are now in a critical period of ascendancy. You have to work a hundred times more than others. Don't forget, how much did you pay for the movie "Pearl Harbor"?"

Ben Affleck: "..."

At this moment, the future star in "DC: Justice League" Batman Bruce Wayne, he was silent.

For the movie "Pearl Harbor", he did give a lot.

In the early stage of filming, he received a lot of pilot training, which lasted for a full month, and he lost 7 kilograms.

The most important thing is that in order to win the leading role of "Pearl Harbor", he took the initiative to give up the high salary!

According to Ben Affleck’s current market quotation, his salary for the leading actor is roughly between 9 million and 12 million US dollars.

But what about the leading actor in "Pearl Harbor"?

His remuneration is only a meager 2 million dollars, and there is no box office share!

Actress Kate Beckinsale, the heroine of the film "Pearl Harbor", also dropped her pay for only $1.5 million, which is far below her real offer.

Hehe~

Disney is famous for being stingy and stingy in Hollywood!

"Well, Dan, you leave first, I need to rest for a while." Affleck waved his hand to let his agent leave.

He feels too tired.

Agent Dan nodded: "Well, you should pay more attention to rest. I will pick you up at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

Dingdong~dingdong~dingdong~

At this moment, the doorbell of the Affleck Villa's door rang.

"Uh...who? It's Matt!!!"

Affleck, who was originally listless and even a little upset, saw the incoming person clearly through the monitoring screen.

-Matt Damon!

A well-known thing in Hollywood, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are a pair of good friends who have a very strong relationship.

"Matt is here, I'll go to meet him."

Now Affleck is still a little bit exhausted, and his whole person is full of excitement.

Agent Dan has left;

Good friend Matt Damon came in.

...

"Ben, we are good friends and good brothers, so I am here to remind you that when you promote "Pearl Harbor", try to mention Wald Pictures' film "District Nine" as little as possible, even if the host With media reporters, deliberately creating conflicts, you can't directly slander and belittle the movie "District Nine", OK?" Matt Damon warned.

"why?"

Affleck frowned.

Elevating oneself, touting one's own movies, and demeaning other movies released in the same period, this is the usual propaganda routine of Hollywood movies.

Matt Damon said solemnly: "Man, don't forget, the boss of Wald Pictures is Mr. Zhuke Wald."

Zucker?

Hearing this name, Affleck blurted out: "How about that?!"

Matt Damon shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have known and contacted Mr. Zucker Wald a long time ago. Don't look at him always smiling and looking harmless, but he is a very vengeful man. Guy. You can say what is wrong with the movie "District Nine", but it must not be made out of nothing, otherwise, according to my understanding of him, he will definitely take measures afterwards.

Take revenge!!!

Affleck frowned and said, "Is he so bad?"

"Yes, even more grudges than I said." Matt Damon solemnly said.

Thinking~

However, less than ten seconds passed, Affleck's brows stretched completely and he laughed and said, "Man, it's not as serious as you said."

Matt Damon said heavily, "Ben, don't take this seriously, I won't lie to you."

"Know, know."

Affleck waved his hand perfunctorily, and said in a relaxed tone: "Well, regardless of him, anyway, tomorrow, my film "Pearl Harbor" will crush "District Nine". Just like a director. What Michael Bay said: How much can a science fiction film with a production cost of only $30 million do?"

confidence!

Very confident!

Affleck, who participated in the filming of the film "Pearl Harbor", believes in his ability to star in the movie.

Director Michael Bay’s goal has never been Wald Pictures’ new film "District Nine", but "Titanic", which broke the box office record of film history.

Affleck smiled at Matt Damon and said: "Man, look okay. Once the movie "Pearl Harbor" is released, my status will rise to a higher level. Popularity in the world is definitely not an empty talk. You can go ahead."

Honey confident?

Matt Damon was not so optimistic, and smiled bitterly: "I hope so."

...

3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, who plays the leading actress, joined the Disney Group's ABC TV station in a talk show, focusing on the promotion of the movie "Pearl Harbor."

really......

In order to create a topic, the host of the show asked many sensitive topics.

Although Ben Affleck is full of honey and self-confidence, he has listened to the warnings of his brother Matt Damon more or less, and there is not much mention of Wald Pictures' film " ninth District".

However... Kate Beckinsale, who plays the heroine, is much sharper.

"You asked me about Wald Pictures' new film "District Nine"?"

"Sorry, how ugly can a film with a production cost of only 30 million US dollars be? Oh, at least I think it can't be compared with "Pearl Harbor."

"Wold Pictures is strong?"

"The movie "The Ninth District" is the beginning of their fall from the altar and become mortal!"

Is your mouth open?

No brain?

Haha~ Kate Beckinsale doesn't care at all, she is convinced that after the movie "Pearl Harbor" is released, he will be completely popular all over the world.

As for offending Zhuke?

She really didn't care at all. It was better to please the Disney Group, the sponsor, than anything else.

Well, that's so confident!

During the recording of the show, Kate Beckinsale glanced at Affleck contemptuously, and smiled secretly: "What a cowardly man, he doesn't even dare to say mere criticisms, nothing!"

"" The first update is sent.
