Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Standing in front of the huge glass curtain wall of the master bedroom, Matthew holds his phone and looks out into the distance to Beverly Hills and the City of Angels, which are lit up and half of Los Angeles at night.

There was the faint sound of footsteps behind him, and Charlize Theron slowly walked up to him in her short pajamas.

Matthew turned his head to look at her and asked, "Woke you up?"

Charlize Theron didn't answer, but asked, "Still not sleeping so late?"

"Can't sleep. Matthew said honestly, "It's too hard to fall asleep at this time." ”

"Because of the box office?" asked Charlize Theron directly.

Matthew nodded and confirmed, "Because of the box office." He went on to say, "Unlike you, I am an actor who survives on commercial appeal, the film failed at the box office, and you still have the Oscar for Best Actress as the capital to make a comeback, I am going to be finished." ”

"You're exaggerating. Charlize Theron snorted and said, "It's like you're really going to be finished if this film doesn't do well at the box office!"

She is well aware that Matthew's films "The Scorpion King", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "National Treasure" were all box office hits, and even if "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" failed at the box office, he could withstand it.

"You can't sleep either?" asked Matthew, looking at Charlize Theron.

"yes. Charlize Theron bluntly said, "I can't sleep because of the box office." ”

She smiled and said, "If this film doesn't do well at the box office, I will be affected more than you, and I won't be able to appear in the first-line production for many years to come." ”

Matthew knows that what she said is the truth, and Hollywood manufacturers are not charities, even if Charlize Theron has an endorsement contract with the Oscar-winning actress and Dior, once "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" fails, I don't know how many years it will take to get an invitation to another first-line big production.

Maybe her coffee position will not be affected too much, but Hollywood producers will automatically put her on a red list, and they will not easily invite her to play the heroine of a first-line commercial masterpiece.

Matthew reached out and grabbed Charlize Theron, "You also saw the advance ticket numbers, it can't be a failure." ”

Charlize Theron gestured to the phone in his hand, "Don't have any information yet?"

"Not yet. Matthew raised his hand and looked, "Bella has been staring at it, and will send me a message if she has one." ”

He pointed to the couch, "Let's go sit and wait." ”

Before seeing the advance box office, Charlize Theron couldn't sleep, so she sat on the sofa with Matthew and waited patiently.

It's going to be fine, Charlize Theron asked, "How's the engagement going?"

"The sponsorship of Dior and Mercedes-Benz has arrived. ”

The engagement ceremony has always been prepared by Matthew, he said simply, "The important guests on both sides, Mercedes-Benz will specially mobilize a team to pick up, and each guest will receive a small gift from us after the engagement ceremony, and Dior has prepared a 'real me' perfume gift package." ”

Charlize Theron covered her forehead helplessly, "It's about to turn into an advertising campaign." She suddenly realized, "This is supposed to be a show." ”

Matthew is very open, "Dior and Mercedes-Benz bear two-thirds of the cost of the engagement ceremony, and of course they have to show their products properly." ”

The other third of the cost was covered by the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" crew.

Charlize Theron thought for a moment and asked, "Have you figured out how we're going to break up?"

"Hmm...... No. Matthew suddenly said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Otherwise, it's better for us not to break up and just be together." ”

"I didn't want to get married. Charlize Theron subconsciously said this, and then grabbed ahead of Matthew and said, "We were originally good friends, and I know you somewhat. ”

Matthew didn't understand what Charlize Theron meant, just looked at her.

Charlize Theron didn't have any smile on her face and seemed very serious, "Matthew, would you give up more women because of one woman?"

Matthew knows his original intention and has never forgotten it, especially after breaking up with Britney and seeing more breakups in the circle, he will not give up his original intention.

For him, Charlize Theron is nothing like Scarlett Johansson, Rachel McAdams, and Jessica Alba.

Matthew didn't want to lie to her, and after some hesitation, he let out a long sigh and said, "No." ”

Charlize Theron spread his hands, "Instead of turning against each other in the future, it's better to go according to the plan, we're still good friends." ”

Matthew followed up and asked, "A good friend with a special relationship?"

Charlize Theron gave him a pair of eyeballs, but said nothing more, and after a long moment, said, "Frankly, I wasn't much interested in that until I met you......"

Tick – tick –

The text message went off, and Charlize Theron immediately moved on to something more important, reminding Matthew, "Take a look." ”

Matthew didn't look at the phone, and threw it directly to Charlize Theron, who took the phone, clicked on the text message and glanced at it, obviously relieved.

"How many?" Matthew actually cared, even forgetting what Charlize Theron hadn't said just now, "Over $5 million?"

Charlize Theron laughed, her smile was particularly bright, "Not to mention $5 million!" She didn't sell it again, and said directly, "$8.8 million in advance!"

"Wow...... Matthew deliberately let out a strange cry, "It's cool now!"

Charlize Theron also gave Matthew his phone, "nearly $4 million more than expected." ”

"This shows that the hype between the two of us has played a huge role!" Matthew immediately made a judgment, "Our work has not been in vain. ”

He also thought of another point, but not Charlize Theronte, since the hiring of Bella Anderson, with the assistance of Helen Herman, Bella Anderson has established contacts with the heads of fan organizations related to him in many cities in North America, and through the assistance of Angel Agency, these spontaneous fans have gradually been organized.

According to data provided by Bella Anderson, in the greater Los Angeles area alone, his fan-organized charters for early screenings of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were close to twenty.

Although he paid out of his own pocket to print uniform cultural shirts, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars across the United States, it was worth it if he could build a stable fan association or something.

This far exceeded the expected box office figures in advance, and fans should have contributed a lot to the charter.

And the cost of this, when the fan organization stabilizes, they will definitely pay out of their own pockets.

Basically, behind every big-name star, there is a dedicated person or team to handle the business of running fans, which may not be particularly common now, but Matthew knows that for celebrities, the power of die-hard fans is huge.

These are things that involve the foundation of his own foundation, even if it is a woman like Charlize Theron, whom he admires and likes, Matthew will not mention.

"How much do you think the opening weekend box office was?" Charlize Theron asked at this time.

Matthew stood up, walked over to her, and said, "Whatever! It's going to be $50 million higher than expected!"

As he spoke, his eyes roamed back and forth over Charlize Theron, as if looking at his prey.

Charlize Theron said warily, "What do you want to do?"

Matthew bent down and picked her up, "Sally, don't you think we should celebrate?"

On this dark night, it's not just Matthew and Charlize Theron who sleep late, Bella Anderson is sitting in front of a computer in a small apartment in Burbank, still staying up late at work.

She had just texted Matthew, and when she looked at the box office numbers on the email, she couldn't believe it was true.

premiered in the evening, Bella Anderson also watched it, and a film of the level of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can also get such excellent box office results?

She really suspected that something was wrong with her level of appreciation.

But emails from Universal, Summit Entertainment, and Helen Herman show exactly the same box office data in advance, and it's impossible to get it wrong.

Thinking of the operation she participated in after taking over the job, Bella Anderson was relieved that everything that happened around Matthew and Charlize Theron was that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" had such a topical degree, and the couple duo of Matthew and Charlize Theron continued from the screen to reality, and the media and the general public were discussing them......

Such box office numbers are normal, aren't they?

Bella Anderson didn't think about it anymore, opened the webpage and began to collect reviews and word-of-mouth on the Internet, and then summarized them and sent them to her employers.

First of all, in terms of Rotten Tomatoes, the website has collected 12 film reviews from professional film critics, 7 positive and 5 negative, and the film's reputation is very average at present.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a very silly and uninteresting comedy-romantic action movie. ”

This is the latest bad review, followed by a positive one.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" It is a work that seems to be a little flashy at first glance, but it is undeniable that whether it is the romantic style brought by the combination of Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron, or the wonderful and hilarious plot, it makes the movie feel sweet even if it is a popcorn movie。 ”

After Bella Anderson flipped through the film reviews, coupled with his own viewing experience, he felt that the reputation of this film would definitely be polarized.
