"You told me you had a job, but what is it, why did you show up in the cinema and go to that damn movie?" I need a reasonable explanation!" Pete asked Jolie, who was sitting across from her eating apples, as he snapped the newspaper in his hand.

"I don't need to explain anything to you, it's my personal time and whatever I do is my freedom. Julie replied indifferently, mainly because she was too lazy to quarrel with Pete about such a trivial matter.

But Pete didn't think it was a trivial matter, and he even felt that his dignity as a man had been trampled on.

After all, he just said on the show that he felt that the movie was too superficial, and even wanted to teach the audience not to watch it, but when he turned his head, his wife went to the cinema to watch the movie, and the key was that he was also touched by a reporter.

He still remembers what Julie said when he first saw the video.

"It's a great movie, it's a genre that I really like, especially the FOX role, and if I had known in advance that this movie was going to start, maybe I would have wanted to audition for it. ”

"It's not impossible, you say, it's not impossible, Mr. Nie's talent is obvious to all, and he has the ability to gain a foothold in Hollywood, whether it's as a director, an actor, or an investor. ”

"I don't think there's any comparison, League of Assassins is a purely commercial film, with the purest Hollywood blockbuster style, amazing special effects, hot scenes, handsome guys and beautiful cars, and those gorgeous guns that turn cold but take away a lot of blood. ”

"Compared with "Rejuvenation" is a film that pays attention to warmth, its advantage is no longer to stimulate the audience's vision, but to touch the hearts of the audience, I think the two films have their own strengths, "League of Assassins" may get better box office, but "Rejuvenation" may allow Pete to fulfill his Oscar dream. ”

In Pete's view, Julie's words were a complete betrayal of him.

What does it mean that movie is great? What is called no comparison, what he wants now is not those ethereal Oscars, he wants real box office results, but what is Julie's name, isn't it obvious to tell everyone that she is not optimistic about the box office results of "Rejuvenation"?

Pitt was furious by the news that Julie secretly went to see "League of Assassins", and completely put himself in the position of a victim, but he didn't realize that in fact, Julie's words were reasonable, and even helped Pitt say good things, after all, the movie that can participate in the Oscars is itself a representative of high quality.

It's a pity that Pete didn't understand Julie's good intentions at all, and only felt that his girlfriend had betrayed him deeply.

"What is your personal time, we are husband and wife, we should be honest with each other, not under the guise of work, but go to a movie that is competing with your husband, and praise the movie, do you know, because of what you say, I will probably become the laughing stock of the whole America. ”

"Pete, I know what you're talking about, I'm just saying what I'm really thinking, that movie is really to my liking, my praise is from the heart, don't I even have the right to tell the truth?"

"But you know, the night before you praised the movie, I criticized it on the show. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know. Julie shrugged her shoulders and replied, "And even if I knew I would say this, you have your thoughts, I have my thoughts, remember that the premise of our relationship is not to interfere with each other's personal preferences, so what movies I like has nothing to do with you." ”

Without waiting for Pete to reply, Julie turned and walked towards the bedroom, where she had already heard her daughter's cry, and it was clear that the quarrel between the two had frightened the child.

"FU-CK!!" With a roar, the remote control fell to the ground and became torn apart.

The bad thing for Pete wasn't over, and on the night he broke the remote control, his agent called him and informed him of the bad news.

"Those bastards, verbally promised me to cut out that paragraph, but on today's show, it was all broadcast, and now the public opinion outside is very bad for you, your social account is temporarily taken over by the company, and you had better reduce going out, the company will use the highest level of public relations fees to help you reverse the current situation as soon as possible, all you have to do is to wait patiently, detailed company. ”

Pete, who received the call, listened silently to the agent's words, and then hung up the phone without saying a word.

He no longer has the strength to get angry at this time, he doesn't need to go online, he can also imagine the faces of those netizens, at this moment he only has deep exhaustion, he doesn't know what's wrong, in just a few days, he has changed from a glamorous star to an embarrassed appearance.

Pete curled up his body in the couch, very tight, as if this was the only way to make him feel a little warm.

Unconsciously, Pete, who was curled up on the sofa, had fallen asleep, and soon, the bedroom door opened, and Julie, who had just finished coaxing the child, walked out, and just walked down the stairs, he saw Pete curled up on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep.

A trace of distress flashed in Julie's eyes, although the two have been arguing recently, but the four-year relationship has not completely worn out, he has feelings for Pete, she just doesn't understand why Pete cares so much about the "League of Assassins".

After all, after being in the industry for so many years, not only Pete, but even Jolie's own works have many failures, not to mention that "Rejuvenation" is far from a failure, and can even be said to be very successful, except for the box office, everything in this movie can be called excellent.

After thinking about it, Julie returned to the room, and a minute later she came out with a blanket, walked to the sofa, gently covered Pete, and then poured another glass of white water and placed it on the sofa table, so that Pete could drink it directly when he woke up.

After doing all this, Julie looked at the sleeping Pete and sighed before returning to the room.

Just when Pete fell asleep unconsciously, his agent was busy, and the company's response was not unfast, but it couldn't calm the anger of netizens for a while.

Especially the audience who watched "League of Assassins", deeply felt that they were provoked by Pete's remarks.

"Who does he think he is, and what is good or bad of a movie can be defined by him? If he can, then what Oscar judges do you want, just leave it to this guy called Pete to do. ”

"Oh my God, I can't believe this is what a celebrity would say, does he really have a brain?"

"The audience is not a child, League of Assassins is aimed at an audience over the age of eighteen, and we already have the ability to judge and judge our choices on TV. ”

"I think Pete is so arrogant, he tries to be a mentor to the audience, but in fact he is just a clown, or a failed clown!"

"I've seen both movies, I think each has its own charm, I don't agree with Pitt's so-called superficial remarks, if according to what he said, then more than half of Hollywood's movies have to be labeled as superficial, the key is that most of these movies are very popular with the audience, can it be said that all audiences are superficial? In short, Pete's remarks this time disappointed me. ”

"I decided to go see the League of Assassins again to express my protest against Pete's remarks. ”

The anger of netizens was beyond the imagination of the agent, although he had long known that this release would have a negative impact, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the low age of League of Assassins' audiences.

You must know that after "League of Assassins" passed the review, it was directly rated as an R-rated movie, which is different from the domestic harmonious version, and the version released abroad, Nie Wei added all those violent and bloodthirsty clips, and also extended the original movie of only about 100 minutes to 130 minutes.

Anyway, Nie Wei didn't expect that "League of Assassins" would be rated PG-13 without those shots, and with those shots, it wouldn't fall to NC17.

Although "League of Assassins" has a relatively high starting age of the audience because of the movie rating, in fact, according to theater statistics, most of the main audiences of this movie are under the age of 30, accounting for 55% of the audience.

And young people, who are in the rebellious period, or not long after the rebellious period has passed, are suddenly said to be superficial viewers by a stranger, even if the other party is a big star, it is obviously not okay.

And often, people of this age are also the most easily incited and provoked, and the audience full of anger will naturally not let go of Pete who made that remark so easily.

Five media outlets have already expressed their approval of Pitt's remarks, but the effect is not obvious, and those netizens do not buy it much. ”

"What about the critics, tell them to stand up and speak for Pete, as long as the price is not too much, we can accept it, and remember, warn them not to use the routine of stepping on one and praising another, we can't anger those League of Assassins audiences, they are so crazy, they just need them to say something nice about Pete's movie. Pete's agent commanded.

When the agency behind Pete was busy dealing with the storm of negative comments about Pete on the Internet, Nie Wei and Luo Kai, who were in the hotel, felt that this day was really exciting.

From Julie's running to watch "League of Assassins" and being blocked by the reporter's toilet, and then praising the movie fiercely, to the news program broadcast in the evening, Pete slamming the news of "League of Assassins", Nie Wei felt that he had never met a couple who had no tacit understanding and had such a big difference in taste as these two couples.

"This Pete is too much, what is it called, what is it superficial to watch "League of Assassins", I think it is naïve for him to say this, but his wife is not bad, and he still has to cooperate with Nie Weiyou. Rokai was angry at Pete's remarks, and at the same time rejoiced and proud of Julie's praise.

After all, Julie, an actress who is a top star in Hollywood, also wants to send an invitation to Nie Wei to cooperate, which is definitely an honor in Luo Kai's opinion.

"What do you think, people are just polite. Nie Wei smiled and said that he would not take Julie's words seriously, and the agency behind a top actress like Julie would definitely not risk her participating in a movie that was mostly made by Chinese people.

"Even if it's polite, you are also the first director in China to ask Julie to say this. Luo Kai said this, and suddenly remembered Julie's husband Pete, and couldn't help complaining: "It's that this woman doesn't see men very well, and she actually found such an unqualified guy to be her husband." ”

"They weren't married, so theoretically, the two were in a relationship. ”

Luo Kai was speechless, he didn't expect Nie Wei's answer to be such an inconsequential point, whether they were husband and wife or a couple, shouldn't Nie Wei care about what that Pete said to him?

"Brother Luo Kai, I actually have to thank him, if it weren't for his words, I believe that the fans of "League of Assassins" would not be so united, and because of his words, he made another promotion for "League of Assassins", if I can, if the other party is willing, I think I can send him a flower basket. Nie Wei explained jokingly.

Of course, it is impossible to send the flower basket, but Nie Wei's gratitude to Pete is indeed real.

Early the next morning, the box office results of "League of Assassins" proved how true Nie Wei's sincerity was.

"13.3 million, it's up by more than 3 million, wow, I'm a little grateful to Pete now. After Luo Kai saw the box office results, he burst out laughing, and couldn't help but learn from Nie Wei to ridicule Pete.

Originally, "League of Assassins" had already entered a period of decline at the box office, and it had already fallen below 10 million, but I didn't expect that because of the help of Pete Jolie and his wife, it would usher in another wave of rise.

At this point, the League of Assassins has earned more than 80 million at the box office in a week, firmly occupying the throne of the week's box office champion, and this result was also unexpected by everyone before the release of this movie, including Nie Wei.

No matter how confident he is in this movie, Nie Wei's original goal is actually just to be able to get the top three, but after a series of mishaps, the performance of "League of Assassins" was completely unexpected by Nie Wei.

The box office performance of "League of Assassins" in North America in the first week was too amazing, which greatly affected the box office performance of the domestic film, especially after Julie made that praise, it was also widely reported by the domestic media, which contributed to the momentum of "League of Assassins".

Nie Wei was naturally very happy to get this good news, but unfortunately some people were in a very bad mood, such as Adolf who was going to kiss a donkey.
