Early Saturday morning, in Burbank, Los Angeles, inside the luxurious powder room of ABC TV.

Nicole Kidman, who had finished her makeup, sat in her chair, flipped through a newspaper, and waited for the call of the live "Good Morning America" program team.

The live broadcast is still preparing, and she doesn't need to go over for the time being.

This is the promotional period for "A Fairy Wife" and the first commercial film after Nicole Kidman topped the Oscar for Best Actress.

Nicole Kidman has never believed in Oscar-winning curses, and since leaving Tom Cruise, she has been really, really popular, taking advantage of the sympathy of the North American public.

Several works after the divorce, whether it is "Island Horror", or "Moulin Rouge" and "All the Time", are all commercial and word-of-mouth.

This also gave Nicole Kidman an idea that maybe she could become the new Hollywood sister.

If you want to be a Hollywood sister, the Oscar actress is far from enough, after all, the Oscar will produce a queen every year, and it must have enough commercial appeal.

What is the best proof of commercial appeal?

There was a knock on the dressing room door from the outside, and Nicole Kidman came to her senses, put down the newspaper in her hand, and said crisply, "Please come in." ”

Agent Pat Kingsley pushes the door in.

Nicole Kidman turned to look at the agent and asked, "Pat, is it time?"

"Nope. "You'll have to wait about fifteen minutes, and they'll come back to let you know." ”

Nicole Kidman is not dissatisfied, after all, this is ABC TV, which is the No. 1 morning rated program "Good Morning America" in the United States.

Pat Kingsley glanced at Nicole Kidman, hesitated slightly, and said, "I just asked about the box office situation on the first day of release. ”

"A Fairy Wife" is a purely commercial comedy, and Nicole Kidman, of course, cares about the box office and asks, "How many?"

No matter how unsatisfactory the numbers are, they always have to tell the parties, and Pat Kingsley said softly: "The box office of "A Fairy Wife" on the first day of its release in North America was ...... $7.58 million!"

Nicole Kidman couldn't believe the number: "Pat, I didn't hear clearly, how much do you say?"

She is an Oscar-winning actress, and her works have been a great success since her divorce.

Pat Kingsley said: "$7.58 million. ”

Nicole Kidman's originally pale face instantly became whiter: "This is a commercial production with a production budget of up to $90 million!"

has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, where does Nicole Kidman not understand that such a box office is not unsatisfactory, but very unsatisfactory.

Pat Kingsley didn't say anything to comfort Nicole Kidman, after all, they are all adults, and this psychological tolerance must be there.

Nicole Kidman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and asked, "What about Ronan Anderson's Pirates of the Caribbean 2?"

She knows very well that even if "A Fairy Wife" is adapted from the classic drama series, it is not as good as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and she always felt that it had its own appeal, and it was not too far behind.

Pat Kingsley's voice is not high, but it is straightforward: "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 earned $58.97 million on the first day in North America. ”

Nicole Kidman was surprised: "This ...... This is also an exaggeration. She smiled wryly: "The box office of "A Fairy Wife" is less than a fraction of that of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Pat, if I'm not mistaken, $58.97 million is probably the highest opening day box office in North America, right?"

Pat Kingsley nodded slightly: "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has set a new one-day box office record in North America. ”

Nicole Kidman sighed: "Ronan Anderson's movies are getting better and better. ”

Unfortunately, Ronan Anderson refused to work with her, even though she was ready to give something at the time.

"Commercially, Ronan Anderson is already at the top of Hollywood. Pat Kingsley thought of the growing power of Relativity Entertainment, and she was glad to accept it before seeing it, and did not bite Tom Cruise, otherwise the consequences would be serious: "When it comes to movie profitability, Relativity Entertainment is terrible. ”

Since Relativity Entertainment is not a public company, nor is it a multi-shareholder company, it does not need to make public financial statements, and the outside world can only make estimates.

Pat Kingsley has read an analysis by Forbes magazine, saying that Relativity Entertainment's profits in film and television last year could reach the $1 billion level, both online and offline.

Originally, she thought it was a bit exaggerated, but looking at the box office of Relativity Entertainment's movies, as well as the more lucrative DVD revenue, it seems that this is also normal.

I remember that CAA discussed internally, saying that through Netflix's rental and sales platform, the DVD rental and sale of Relativity Entertainment's movies are crazy.

Nicole Kidman suddenly said at this time: "Pat, what about the reputation of "The Family Has a Fairy Wife"?"

If the word of mouth is good, the film can maintain a stable trend, and it is difficult to break out like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", but it can always make the film pay for itself, right?

In that case, it is equivalent to success.

Pat Kingsley can't lie with her eyes open on this kind of thing, she can only tell the truth: "Word of mouth...... So so. ”

Nicole Kidman was disillusioned at the last of her and asked, "Be specific." ”

"Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of twenty-five percent, and IMDB has a provisional score of 4.9. Pat Kingsley felt miserable, but she couldn't mislead Nicole Kidman in this regard, so she could only say: "The Cinema Score audience score is C, and the North American box office is predicted to be about $50 million. ”

Nicole Kidman's already snow-white skin was already white at this time.

Pat Kingsley said a comforting word: "It's okay, "There is a Fairy Wife" still has overseas markets, and if the publicity is done well, there will be more box office in North America." ”

Hearing this, Nicole Kidman suddenly thought of something, was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Pat, you go and communicate with the program team, and see if you can change the set questions temporarily." ”

She lowered her voice and said a few words to Pat Kingsley, who nodded slightly and left the dressing room to communicate with the program team.

Soon, Nicole Kidman entered the live broadcast room, waited for a while, and the news broadcast ended, and the camera switched to this side.

The host chatted briefly with Nicole Kidman, went straight to the point, and the first question asked: "Nicole, you have been in the film for 20 years, what is the most memorable during this period?"

Nicole Kidman said frankly and brightly: "Tom Cruise! he is someone I can never forget, although we once had sharp conflicts, although we were divorced, but when I face my heart, I can only admit one thing, Tom Cruise is what I can never forget, I give the most for it, and the person I love the most." ”

The host looked surprised and asked, "Will you ever get back together?"

"I don't know. Nicole Kidman looked very hurt: "I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt again......"

The topic of this interview changed completely, and Nicole Kidman started talking about Tom Cruise in particular.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are also in the spotlight than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

This instantly attracted countless media reports, and a large number of fans began to discuss the marriage of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman again, and even some fans and gossip newspapers also tied Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

I have to say that Pulling Tom Cruise came out to whip the corpse, which was a very smart choice and easily won a lot of eyeballs.

Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, took advantage of Tom Cruise and gained some more sympathy points.

Although this sympathy will be consumed sooner or later, it still plays a role in the present.

"A Fairy Wife" rebounded at the box office on Saturday, earning $8.45 million.

can also rebound at the box office with such a bad audience reputation, it can only be said that Tom Cruise is still one of the most watched Hollywood stars.

But in front of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", these are not enough to watch, and the appeal of the so-called Oscar Best Actress cannot be compared with real commercial films.

Because it is a sequel movie, too many viewers flocked to watch it on the opening day, and the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" fell the next day after its North American release.

However, the single-day income was still as high as $52.75 million.

Within two days of its release in North America, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" broke through the $100 million mark at the box office.

This is also the fastest single film in North American film history to break the record of 100 million.

Even though it's only been two days in theaters, it's clear to anyone who knows the industry that Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is bound to set a new North American weekend box office record.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" also makes the image of Captain Jack Sparrow more fleshed out - an unstable life, a wild personality, doing what he wants, contradictory and chaotic.

Some fans also made a summary: Jack Sparrow represents a beautiful and lazy self-confidence, the thick eyeshadow on the eyes and the string of beads in the hair are all signs of "freedom", and the word "pirate" represents "absolute freedom" in the hearts of fans, and I feel like an 18th century rock star.

There are also fans who believe that Captain Jack Sparrow is a shrewd adventurer, with a relaxed, happy, non-paused, sleek tone, speaking feminine and cunning rhetoric like a woman, and swaying when he walks.

Johnny Depp can be described as a big hit, with the success of two "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has become one of Hollywood's most appealing stars.

A reporter interviewed Ronan specifically about Johnny Depp.

"There's no doubt that Depp is in his prime. Ronan is naturally full of praise for Johnny Depp: "Depp has created a great character who will make a name for himself, he is one of the best actors of his time, and I am proud that Relativity Entertainment can work with such an actor." ”

Also asked about Nicole Kidman's recent talk about Tom Cruise, Ronan kept the silence he deserved.

The smartest thing to do is to keep your mouth shut and let Tom Cruise take care of it himself.

Having said that, in that "Family Has a Fairy Wife", is the child born to Nicole Kidman's witch and the male protagonist considered a mudblood?
