"Spider-Man" is rated PG-13, which means that children under the age of 13 should be guided to watch it by their parents.

Taylor Swift is 11 years old, not yet old, and if he wants to go to the cinema, he can only discuss with his parents.

Her dad is in New York and runs Down Capital, so she can only pin her hopes on her mom.

Andrea Swift has been asking Natalie's mother, Shirley Hirschler, about her experience in raising her daughter, after all, Natalie is so good.

has good acting skills, good looks, and the key is to go to Harvard University, which is definitely a genius in the entertainment industry.

Andrea didn't expect little Taylor to be so good, go to the world's number one university to study, at least teach her daughter to be well-behaved.

Little Taylor's current temperament is too wild.

It may not matter if you have an ordinary family, but little Taylor will definitely develop in the entertainment industry in the future, such a character...... Something is going to go wrong!

The black history of Drew Barrymore, which was reported during this time, is really scary.

So Andrea wants to train her daughter in the direction of a lady and doesn't plan to take her to see "Spider-Man".

Of course little Taylor was unhappy, stalking, flattering, and coquettish, and in the end he had no choice, so he directly came up with a killer idea: "If you don't let me watch "Spider-Man", I'll call Donne, hum! You are still an employee of Don Pictures, boss's movie, don't you want to contribute movie tickets?"

Andrea was angry and helpless, so she had to take her to the cinema.

The cinema in the morning is usually very empty, and there is no movie-watching atmosphere, and the mother and daughter went to the nearest theater at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

It's Friday, there are noticeably more people than usual, and there is already a long queue in front of the ticket window.

"Mom, there's no one over there, go to that window and buy it!" Little Taylor pointed to the window next to him and pulled his mother to walk that way.

Andrea grabbed her, "There are other movies for sale there, don't you see the prompt on the window? There are "Sixty Seconds of Speed", "Mission Impossible 2", "Dinosaurs", "Hardcore Detective", this is "Spider-Man". ”

Little Taylor's jewel-like eyes sparkled leisurely, "It turns out that everyone came to see "Spider-Man", Don is amazing!"

Andrea frowned, "Sweetheart, how many times have you told you, be polite." You can't call him by name, you have to call him Mr. Walker, or Uncle Donne. ”

Little Taylor pouted, "He's my friend, not my uncle." ”

Andrea gritted her teeth angrily, "Your dad is Donne's colleague, that's why he is very friendly with you, do you think you are really friends?"

"It's friends!" little Taylor was a little rebellious, raised his head and said unconvinced, "I don't believe you to ask him, he told me in person, we are good friends!"

Andrea is really helpless, and she doesn't know how to discipline this bear child anymore.

At this time, the staff of the theater noticed that there were children here, and walked over eagerly, leading them to the children's ticket window on the other side.

Such a humanized service made Andrea feel pleasantly surprised, and she intended to chat more with the conductor, "It's the weekend, it's very busy." ”

The conductor was busy typing tickets, and said without raising his head: "It's not that it's busy on weekends, isn't it a blockbuster." ”

Little Taylor crossed his feet, held on to the ticket counter, and rushed to say, "Yes, it's "Spider-Man"!"

The conductor raised his head and found that it was a little girl carved in pink, who liked it very much, and smiled kindly: "Yes, it's "Spider-Man", but this is a boy's movie, and there are fights everywhere in it. ”

Little Taylor snorted, "I'm not afraid of fighting!"

Andrea angrily dragged her daughter and said with a smile: "Look at this posture, you're going to work overtime, right?"

The conductor sighed and said helplessly: "No way, work." But fortunately, Director Walker only makes one movie a year, and he can still cope with it. ”

Andrea was a little surprised, isn't that exaggerated?

In the whole of Hollywood, Don alone can keep the entire theater chain busy?

But when you think about it, it makes sense. In the entire history of Hollywood, only two films have grossed more than $1 billion, and the directors are all Donn.

The conductor shook his head when he saw her face in surprise, "Didn't you see the fans who bought tickets? Nine out of ten are coming for "Spider-Man". The manager was afraid that the child would wait for a long time to make trouble, so he opened a special window for children. ”

Andrea lost her voice and said: "Isn't the day's income of the theater all from "Spider-Man"?"

"Then do you need to say?" the conductor looked calm, very reasonable, "That's a movie directed by Walker, if I choose, I will also watch his movie!" Our manager has arranged 73% of the filming for "Spider-Man", and in my opinion, it is less, it should all be arranged as "Spider-Man"!"

When little Taylor heard this, he immediately applauded, "Yes, I agree! Let the bad movie get out of here, we will only watch Donn's movie!"

The conductor smirked, "You like to watch Donn's movies?"

The meaning is obvious, Donn's film ...... It's not suitable for children, except for "My Grand Greek Wedding", which has a PG-13 rating.

Taylor was young, of course, he couldn't hear the deep meaning of these words, raised his chin, and said proudly: "Yes, I like it very much! Especially "Titanic", I have watched it several times!"

"Titanic?"

The conductor was stunned and looked at Andrea in a daze, not knowing what to say.

In "Titanic", there are many scenes that are inappropriate for children.

Andrea also obviously realized something, stared at her daughter, and said coldly: "Taylor, when did you watch "Titanic"?

Little Taylor realized the gaffe, stuck out his tongue, and felt that something was not right, so he quickly looked at his mother with teary eyes, and looked pitiful and pleading.

It's over, it's miserable!

……

In the afternoon, Don got the latest audience word-of-mouth argument.

After yesterday's pre-screening, the audience's praise rate for "Spider-Man" was as high as 99%!

Of course, the audience that can grab tickets and go in early to watch the movie is all Donne's avid fans and die-hard comics loyalists, and they will definitely make some above-average judgments.

When it comes to the release date, word of mouth will definitely decline.

"We still have a high positive rating of 96%, and the market trend and audience response are very healthy. As for that Disney movie......"

Ella Fisher shook her head, and the corners of her mouth crossed a little ridicule, "The audience's word-of-mouth has dropped to 67%, and they don't need to be crushed by "Spider-Man", just because of word-of-mouth, they will be finished sooner or later." ”

Don shook his head and sighed.

Now, the Internet is just emerging, and the number of netizens is too small. A rating website like Rotten Tomatoes, I don't know which workshop it is nested in, and it is impossible to develop it in seven or eight years.

In this day and age, what can really affect fans' choice of watching movies is the traditional film critics' comments.

As for the audience's word-of-mouth in Tang's hands, this is a questionnaire filled out by the audience according to the requirements of the distributor after watching the movie, which will not be open to the public and is not convincing.

To put it bluntly, it is the audience's reputation at this stage, which has limited influence on the film. Distributors have more than enough means to lure audiences into cinemas.

Why is it that after more than ten years, it is becoming more and more difficult for film companies to do so, and they are going bankrupt one after another? And the surviving film companies have to keep releasing movie sequels?

The main reason is that in the Internet era, everything has become transparent, and there is no room for bad movies. The past when producers and distributors wanted to rely on a few big stars and public opinion to hype up and fool fans into movie theaters to cheat money is gone.

If everything becomes transparent and Don is confident, the current "Spider-Man" will definitely have greater influence and harvest more box office!

"By the way, one more thing. Ella Fisher paused for a moment and said cautiously, "Publisher...... Universal Pictures, and the Endeavor agency, are currently planning a new marketing plan, and I feel compelled to tell you. ”

"What?"

Ira Fisher said: "The momentum of Spider-Man is very good now, but according to the normal market trend, after a month, the popularity will definitely drop. The distributor intends to arrange for the hero and heroine of the movie to have a relationship, which will be made public a month later, borrowing from each other to rehype the topic of "Spider-Man". ”

Tang En let out a faint "oh", "Since it's a marketing strategy, the publisher is responsible, and it's beneficial to us, so let them go." ”

Ella Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was sure that Don had indeed lost interest in Jessica Alba, otherwise he would not have let his female partner fall in love with another man, not fake!

Just like her and Reese now, during the dating stage, she can't contact other members of the opposite sex unless she has broken off the relationship.
