【35 Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

"According to this station, the expected Christmas box office war lost its suspense at the beginning, a work from China, adapted from the United States DC Comics "League of Assassins" sprung up, won the single-day box office championship for two consecutive days, beating Brad Pitt starring "Rejuvenation", the box office gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, next please look at the comparison of the box office data of the two sides in the last two days......"

"FUCK!" With a man's roar, the beautiful host on the TV suddenly flashed, and then disappeared from the screen.

"Pete, you have to learn to control your temper. A woman's voice sounded with a hint of strength, and Pete turned his head to see his wife, Julie, walking in with a fruit bowl.

Pete tried to argue: "Julie, I'm not angry for no reason, but if you look at what is being said on TV, every time you mention that movie, you have to compare my work, and I have become a stepping stone to that movie." ”

Pete's eyes were a little red when he said this, and in just two days, he had already seen the news that he had been compared in several newspapers and magazines, as well as in TV reports, and the gang spoke very ugly, as if their works were inferior to each other at the box office, as if they had committed a great sin.

Julie looked at Pete's somewhat hideous face, frowned, pressed the impatience in her heart, and said comfortingly: "Pete, you have to learn to be mature, you have been in the entertainment industry for twenty years, and you are forty-five years old, can't you still see through the reality of this circle?"

"Since you are the leading actor, you naturally have to take responsibility for the box office. ”

"I didn't shirk my responsibility, but I don't know where I lost? You know, it was just a Chinese movie, and I lost to a movie starring Chinese people. Pete replied with a wry smile.

"Pete, put away your prejudices. Julie's voice suddenly became serious, she looked at Pitt very seriously, and said: "It's not just us Americans who can make good movies, there are many talented people in this circle, such as Chinese, Japanese, Indian, French, British...... Hollywood has never been for Americans, and if you can't see that clearly, you're not wronged at all. ”

"And when you say that, I'm really interested in the movie. With that, Julie got up and went back to her bedroom to take care of her children.

Of course, it was more that she didn't want to face Pete, and the other party's irritability seriously affected her mood.

And Pete, who was sitting on the sofa, felt even worse because of Julie's last sentence at this time, and at this moment, he really had a feeling that the entire entertainment industry was targeting him.

However, in fact, at this moment, it is indeed the entire entertainment industry that is targeting him.

Who made him a big star has the most news effect, and the key thing is that he was also suppressed at the box office by a movie from Huaxia, and the topic of this news is even greater.

The audience also likes to watch this kind of drama, so newspapers, magazines, TV stations and even film critics are busy stepping on him to attract attention at this moment.

In the next two days, the box office of "League of Assassins" also began to decline, but fortunately, the magnitude was not large, and the two days together earned 23 million US dollars, but this data still firmly suppressed "Rejuvenation", and the box office revenue of the other party was less than 15 million in two days.

Pete's mood is getting worse and worse when the media unanimously believes that he has been defeated.

The only thing that is gratifying to him is that on IMDB, the rating of "League of Assassins" has slipped to 7.7 points, while "Rejuvenation" maintains a high score of 8.35, and the reputation is very good.

And such a good reputation also makes Pete's heart more and more angry, his movies are obviously better, are those media blind?

After days of deliberate or unintentional cynicism from the media, Pitt put his agent in contact with a talk show ready to speak out for his film, at least to make the audience understand that it was right to support a better movie.

The show began to be recorded in the early morning of the sixth day of the movie's release, and Pete just got the box office results on the fifth day before he came on the stage, "Rejuvenation" only received 4.72 million at the single-day box office, which made it not even retain the second position, while "League of Assassins" got 10.37 million at the box office and continued to sit on the throne of the single-day box office champion.

And looking at this situation, there is basically no suspense about the box office champion of the week, and it will definitely be won by "League of Assassins".

Thinking of this, Pete felt a little angry, and felt very aggrieved, obviously his movie had a better evaluation on the film review website, and even ranked in the TOP250 of good films, but the audience was reluctant to go into the cinema to watch his own movie, but instead went to watch a bad movie that has no connotation at all, or is it a bad movie starring a group of Chinese?

With the anger that had been suppressed for several days, coupled with the deliberate guidance of the host, when the program was in general, he finally couldn't help it and began to bombard "The League of Assassins".

"I really don't understand what the audience thinks, the rating of "League of Assassins" on IMDB is only 7.6 points, compared to the rating of "Rejuvenation" but it remains at 8.2 points, viewers who are familiar with the IMDB rating mechanism should understand that the difference in this score means that the production level of the two movies is not at the same level at all!"

"Do you think Rejuvenation is actually much better than League of Assassins?" the host asked duly.

"Here I think you can use positive words to describe it, not only me, but also many peers in the industry, who think that "Rejuvenation" is even better. ”

"Pete, I think some people must think that you are talking big now, after all, your "Rejuvenation" lost to that Chinese movie at the box office, from this point of view, does it mean that the audience prefers that Chinese movie?" The host joked, originally wanting to make a joke, but it hurt Pete's heart without thinking about it.

"No, I don't think you're right at all. Pete replied with a very serious expression: "A good movie does not need the box office to determine success or failure, people will only remember the classic moments of the movie, but rarely remember the box office data of a movie." ”

"But what audiences and the media are most interested in is often the box office of a movie. The moderator disagreed.

"No, that's absolutely one-sided. Pete shook his hand and subconsciously raised his voice to deny the host's point of view.

I also admit this, and there are indeed many movies in film history that do not perform well at the box office, such as "The Redemption of Xiao Keshen". The host didn't stimulate Pete, and by the way, he helped him find a step down.

But when these words were heard in Pete's ears, he finally couldn't help but complain.

"I think the audience should understand what kind of movie is meaningful to themselves, instead of one-sided pursuit of the so-called big scenes, we should not be confused by those sports cars, guns or how amazing special effects, I hope that the audience can learn something after watching the movie, rather than just simply pursuing excitement, which is just a waste of time and doing meaningless things. ”

Pete focused on complaining, his eyes kept looking at the host, who made the host's words just now deeply touched him, but what he didn't notice was that his agent in the audience was waving anxiously, signaling him not to continue.

By the time Pete finally found out about the economic man in the audience, the other party was already dead, because Pete had already said everything that could and couldn't be said.

After the show, the two returned to the lounge, and as soon as they entered the room, the agent immediately closed the door and locked it.

"What for. Pete couldn't help but ask when he saw the agent's small movements.

"Pete, what did you just say in the interview!?" The agent didn't care about Pete's question, but asked Pitt angrily, "You shouldn't say the last words of the show." ”

"Why can't I say, or rather, am I wrong somewhere?" Pete was stunned by the question, and when he came back to his senses, he was full of anger.

He feels like he's had enough of grievances these days, so what's wrong with him speaking up for himself?

"Maybe you have some truth in what you say......"

"Either there are some, but there is reason, and the reason is on my side, and even God should be on my side. ”

"Okay, you have a point. The agent frowned, not wanting to argue with the angry Pete about such uselessness, he wanted to remind his artist of the problems he might be facing.

"Even if you have a point, but you shouldn't complain about the audience, you don't need to point fingers at how the audience chooses the movie, the more you say that, it will only make the audience more and more annoying, and it won't help the box office of "Rejuvenation" at all. ”

"Is there something wrong with your brain, I'm just telling those people how to choose a good movie, I didn't point a gun at them and ask them to see which movie. ”

"Pete, I think what you need most right now is probably calm. The agent sighed helplessly, feeling that there was really no way to communicate with Pete at this time, and he didn't have time to quarrel with Pete here.

After all, Pete's words just now are likely to have a bad impact, so he has to find the program team now and see them edit out this paragraph with his own eyes, so that he can rest assured, after all, Pete, who is already on the cusp, is really not suitable for this kind of too controversial news.

Just after the agent walked out of the lounge with a disappointed face, Pete couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, picked up a bottle of makeup remover in front of him, and slammed it on the floor.

It seems that this is the only way to express how intense the anger in my heart is at this moment.

Half an hour later, the agent returned to Pete's break room and was about to drive him home, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw broken glass shards and lotion dripping all over the floor.

The agent was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Pete, who was lying on the sofa and seemed to be closing his eyes, sighed helplessly, took his handkerchief and picked up all the broken glass slags on the ground, and then wiped the lotion with a tissue, after all, these things are obviously not visible to outsiders.

You must know that in a place like TV, you will not be a secret, especially a big star like Pete, if someone finds him in the break room today and drops a bottle, tomorrow he is guaranteed to make headlines in entertainment news, and it will also be processed into a news that shocks the audience's attention, and even newspapers and magazines will follow up as soon as possible.

"I've already informed the program team of the TV station, they promised to edit out your part, as for the latest time, I think it's better for you to stay at home, don't read comments on the Internet, don't watch TV, you can play games, you can also take care of your children, if you want to take your children out for a walk, I can find the media to help you take pictures and buy news, it's best to bring Julie, so that you can show your love to the public, and you can also show your family affection. ”

"I see. After listening for a long time, Pete finally answered.

Hearing Pete's simple answer, the agent breathed a sigh of relief, at least it meant that Pete understood his intentions.

As a partner who has worked together for many years, he is very aware of the stinky temper of his artist friend, and he replied intentionally, at least it means that he does see that he has made mistakes, but it is impossible for this proud partner to make him admit his mistakes, so at this time, he promised himself for a reason, which is actually an alternative kind of softness.

"Well, I'll contact STAR when I go back today, we have cooperated with them many times, there is a reputation foundation, if it goes smoothly, you'd better be able to take your child out tomorrow morning, and I'll take someone from the magazine to follow behind." ”

"Got it. Pete curled up and replied, and the agent understood as soon as he heard that this meant that he had already agreed.

The next day, Pete appeared on the street with the child as promised, bought the child ice cream and marshmallows, especially for several adopted sons, and even looked very pampered, and let them ride on his neck.

In the morning, Pete took the children shopping, and by noon these photos had appeared on social networks, which aroused praise from many netizens, who felt that Pete was really a good father.

However, the fly in the ointment is that Jolie did not appear with Pete.

Looking at the praise on the Internet, Pete felt that things had begun to develop in a good direction, but just when he was in a little better, he suddenly saw a new hot search on the Internet, and suddenly his whole mood was cloudy.

And the content of this hot search also has a lot to do with him, Julie, who refused to go shopping with him in the morning, actually went to the cinema, but she obviously told herself that she had an important job, is the important job to go to the cinema?

What made Pete feel even angrier than being put on a forgiveness hat was that Jolie went to the cinema, and in media reports, his wife went to see "League of Assassins" instead of his "Rejuvenation", and what made him even more angry was that Jolie not only watched the movie, but even accepted an interview with a reporter.
