In the quiet office, Orlando Bloom sat in a high-backed chair, flipping through the latest issue of "The Premiere" magazine, first nodding, then frowning into a pimple, and even sighing in annoyance.

He had just read the latest North American box office bulletin from Premiere magazine.

"Hollywood spy action movies have now fallen into the trap, whether it is the typical American style of the "Mission Impossible" series, or the very British style of the "007" series is difficult to innovate, Doug Liman's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has created the best opening results of similar films in recent years. ”

"Doug Liman completely abandoned his cold and realistic style in "Spy", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" focuses on star cards, with the family conflict of the male and female protagonists as the tone of the film, the new generation of star Matthew Horner and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron joined, and extremely brilliant play, not only to ensure that this tone is achieved, but also to make the film full of charm. ”

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" hit more than 3,200 theaters early on Thursday night, earning $8.8 million on the night, its best advance so far this year, and the film went into full theaters on Friday, earning $28.6 million on its first day including early screenings, also its best single-day box office performance of the year. ”

"On Saturday, the film was steady at $25.2 million, and on Sunday it collected another $21.8 million......

In the first three days of the opening weekend, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" grossed $75.6 million in North America, easily taking the top spot in the North American box office charts. ”

"The film received an A- in the theatrical survey 'CinemaScor', and although it was not as good as Doug Liman's "Spy 2", it also scored quite well in a spy action movie. According to the survey, women accounted for 51% of the film's first weekend audience, and the distribution of male and female audiences was relatively balanced. ”

However, the film's professional reputation is not good, and only 54% of the 201 film critic reviews collected on the Rotten Tomatoes website gave it a good rating, with an average score of 5.8 points, but on IMDB, which is mainly rated by fans, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" received a score of 7.6, and the audience has a good reputation. ”

"The new film starring Matthew Horner, like his previous film "National Treasure", has a distinctly polarized reputation. ”

Seeing this, Orlando Bloom rubbed his forehead, Matthew's upward momentum in recent years has been too strong, and it is also an overwhelming number of bad reviews from film critics, "Heavenly Dynasty" couldn't even get $20 million at the box office in the first weekend, but "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" could earn more than $75 million, is his appeal really so bad?

He lowered his head and continued to look back.

In addition, "Danny the Wolfhound", another large-scale opening in the same weekend, did not perform well, only getting $7.52 million in three days over the weekend, and this new film written and supervised by Luc Besson will depend on the performance of markets outside North America if it wants to pay back. "Heavenly Dynasty," which was released last weekend, fell significantly, falling by nearly 60 percent this weekend, and collecting another $9.2 million......"

Orlando Bloom's handsome face was gloomy at the moment.

According to this trend, it is impossible for the total North American box office of "Heavenly Dynasty" to reach $50 million.

Putting down the premiere magazine, Orlando Bloom leaned back in her chair and stared up at the ceiling.

I think that at the beginning, not long after he met Matthew, he became popular all over the United States with the role of Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings", and became a celebrity chased by countless media and fans.

What about Matthew Horner at that time? was still a young actor who could only play a supporting role in "Black Hawk Down" by virtue of Ridley Scott's relationship, not to mention comparing with him, even Sean Austin, who played Sam, was more famous than Matthew Horner.

Legolas in the "Lord of the Rings" series made him a hit, and even if Matthew Horner became famous with "The Scorpion King", he still can't compare to him.

Why did the next development appear in a completely different situation?

Matthew Horner started low and went high, and now there is a faint trend to enter the first line, no ...... As long as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a big hit at the North American box office, it is not a problem for him to cross the threshold of the first line.

And what about yourself?

Orlando Bloom has a gloomy face, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy made him popular all over the world, but the series is over after all, it can't be eaten forever, and he is only one of the many protagonists, if you want to really change from a popular star to a first-line movie star, you must prove that you have the ability to carry the box office when you are the leading actor.

So, he chose a project that seemed particularly secure, and by calculating his friends, he got the actor of "Van Helsing" with an investment of up to $160 million, although he was sorry for Matthew at the time, but there is no problem with such a choice in Hollywood, who wants to let such a good opportunity slip away in vain?

Then, he became Van Helsing and took over "Troy", but things did not develop as expected, "Van Helsing" failed miserably at the box office, "Troy" did not meet Warner's expectations, and Legolas's aura was instantly dissipated.

"Heavenly Dynasty" has become the final salvation, as long as this film is a box office hit, all previous failures are no longer a problem.

Originally, the fiasco of "Van Helsing" made the crew of "Heavenly Dynasty" have doubts, but fortunately, Legolas's aura is somewhat useful, and with the work done secretly by the agent, the crew did not change roles......

But now, it's better to replace him at the beginning.

Orlando Bloom knows very well that there will never be a first-line production looking for him as the leading actor in the future, and unless a miracle happens, his career as an actor can only continue to eat Legolas's old book.

As for the first-line stars, don't even think about it, even the current second-tier can't stand still.

Then, he thought of Matthew, the box office success of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is a foregone conclusion, the only suspense is how much the final box office figure is, Matthew Horner has two sequels to "Pirates of the Caribbean" behind him, and it is said that "National Treasure" is also planning a sequel, these successes are very likely, even if there is no better work in the future, Matthew Horner will not be a problem at all to stay in the first-line position for seven or eight years.

If you can be like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts, in addition to sequel movies, there can be several other monoclonal antibody box office successes, even if you don't have any outstanding acting awards, you can step into the ranks of super-A superstars!

This is an era of rampant special effects, the appeal of stars to the audience is declining, and many first-line big productions no longer even use first-line stars, and have used young star actors who have just emerged.

In such a background, it is really too difficult to climb to the position of a real super-A, and not a specific sequel superstar.

Orlando Bloom subconsciously shook his head, maybe Matthew Horner can rely on the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the sequel to "National Treasure" to succeed and become a specific sequel superstar, but in this era of weakened superstars, it is basically impossible to become a veritable super-A.

How many box office successes and completely different series of movies did Harris Ford and Tom Hanks use to get to where they are now?

In addition to the Star Wars series and the Raiders of the Lost Ark series, Harrison Ford has films such as "Witness", "Patriot Games", "The Outlaws", "Burning Pursuit" and "Air Force One".

Not to mention Tom Hanks, not only has a large number of blockbuster films as a support, but also is the winner of two consecutive Oscars for Best Actor.

With Matthew Horner's acting skills and action star, it is basically impossible to win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Then he wants to climb to Super A, and he can only take the road of business.

In today's era when commercial films rely more on special effects, except for serialized sequel movies, there are no four or five movies that have been box office hits in a row, and you can't even think about becoming a super A.

How difficult is that? As long as one of them, such as "Heavenly Dynasty" or "Van Helsing," fails at the box office, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

After these thoughts flashed through his head, Orlando Bloom suddenly felt better, there was no harm in not comparing, he became famous at almost the same time as Matthew, and he was far ahead of Matthew, and now the two were completely reversed.

Orlando Bloom is hard to accept to watch a man who was once far behind him climb to the top of the circle.

The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Orlando Bloom's agent walked in, smiling and saying, "Keeping you waiting, Orlando." ”

He saw Premiere magazine in front of Orlando Bloom, "This circle is like this, there are successes and failures, and it's not the end of the world, we can start all over again." ”

"Two consecutive first-line productions failed at the box office...... "Orlando Bloom is still very clear-headed, "Do I still have a chance?"

The agent said with great certainty, "Of course, you have a lot of more money than those who are just starting out!"

Orlando Bloom smiled, but the smile was bitter.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Matthew Horner?" the agent obviously had an idea, "This person has a very unique vision for choosing films, you can continue to have a good relationship with him, and find a way to let him help you get some more important supporting roles in the films he starred in......"

"Give him a supporting role?" Orlando Bloom was ten thousand reluctant in his heart, "I used to be more popular than him!"

The agent suddenly provided a voice, "Orlando, this is not what it used to be!"

Orlando Bloom instantly woke up to the fact that he and Matthew Horner are not on the same level now.

The agent added, "I heard you don't want to go to Matthew Horner's engagement ceremony?"

"I'm in a bad mood. "Orlando Bloom is telling the truth.

"Go, go!" the agent walked over, "you have to maintain a good relationship with Matthew Horner, his engagement the day after tomorrow, you must attend." ”
