"Heavenly Dynasty" screened in theaters is not a bad movie, but compared to the production cost of $130 million, it can only be said to be too bland, except for the piled up war scenes, even the most basic narrative logic is missing.

Perhaps it was the fiasco of "Alexander the Great" last year that gave Twentieth Century Fox a sense of crisis, feeling that the slow narrative and super long duration of epic films would bore the audience, so he raised the ruthless big scissors despite Ridley Scott's objections.

Of course, if it is changed to a version edited by Ridley Scott, it may not be a box office success, after all, this kind of epic film really seems to be outdated.

The "Heavenly Dynasty" was badly criticized, and Twentieth Century Fox tried to avoid failure, but it turned out that what they did was the opposite.

In the first three days of the opening weekend in North America, "Heavenly Dynasty" earned $19.6 million, and the average box office of a single theater was just over $5,000.

What's worse is that many forecasters, including Cinema Score, are not optimistic about the follow-up box office trend of "Heavenly Dynasty", believing that the North American box office of this film is unlikely to exceed $50 million.

It was a Waterloo for Ridley Scott, but he had enough confidence to not do fatal damage.

But Orlando Bloom is different, now that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has ended, without Legolas's halo bonus, and has pounced on "Van Helsing" and "Heavenly Dynasty", two first-line productions, even if he doesn't want to, in the extremely realistic Hollywood, he will be forced to be excluded from the ranks of first-line productions by major studios.

He is not without a chance, and when Legolas comes back to the rivers and lakes in the future, he can also become popular again.

The super blockbuster production released on the first weekend of the summer season successfully hit the streets, and then the attention of the media and fans turned to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to be released the next weekend.

The publicity of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is in full swing, all kinds of hard and soft announcements are endless, Universal Pictures and Summit Entertainment have never held any test screenings, only a few short trailers, showing that Matthew's male protagonist and Charlize Theron's female protagonist are in love and killing each other, combined with the extremely high-profile romance between the two people in reality, creating a sense of mystery and attraction.

"How will Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron, the real-life couple who are about to get engaged, fight in the film?"

Similar promotional advertorials can be found everywhere in newspapers, magazines and Internet websites.

The film is about to be released, and Matthew and Charlize Theron have poured another bucket of oil on the already hot enough attention and exposure as planned.

On Tuesday, while "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" had not yet been released, Matthew and Charlize Theron moved into the newly purchased mansion in Beverly Hills under the watchful eye of countless paparazzi and entertainment reporters.

"Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron are officially living together, and their new home is worth $28 million!"

Similar news followed, grabbing another wave of entertainment headlines.

"How's this one?"

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Charlize Theron came out of the dressing room wearing a goose-yellow Dior haute couture tuxedo, stood in front of a mirror more than one person high, turned his head and asked Matthew who was sitting on the sofa, "Doesn't it look good?"

"Very pretty!" Matthew complimented him at the right time, adding, "Sally, you are a natural clothes rack, and you look glamorous in any outfit. ”

Charlize Theron turned her head, looked at herself in the mirror, and said, "You don't have to say that, I've always been sober." ”

She never wanted to get engaged, let alone get married, and it was a temporary relationship for the future.

Matthew stood up and walked behind Charlize Theron, grabbed her from behind, and said, "Am I going to cherish every minute and every second of this?"

Charlize Theron broke free of Matthew's hand, "This is the dress I'm going to wear for the premiere, don't crumple it." She then rolled her eyes, "Can you put away your evil thoughts?"

Matthew spread his hands, "How can this be called evil? If it weren't for these thoughts, humanity would have been extinct long ago." ”

"You ......" Charlize Theron didn't know what to say.

"It's a very sacred sport. Matthew continued, "The future and destiny of all humanity is at stake. ”

Charlize Theron didn't bother to respond to him, went back to the locker room to change into her dress, went into the cloakroom and dragged out two boxes, which were placed on the carpet and opened, revealing the dark fabric.

Matthew tilted his head and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Dior sponsors your men's dresses. As Charlize Theron spoke, he opened another box, "And leather shoes." ”

She stood up and flashed to the side for Matthew to see, and said, "Give it a try, I've measured your size before......"

Speaking of this, Charlize Theron suddenly thought of something big and exaggerated, and quickly shook his head, "Give it a try." Dior's haute couture is much better than the dress you rent. ”

"Is it free?" Matthew is now very star-conscious, "I'm advertising for Dior." ”

Charlize Theron glared at him, "Don't worry, Dior sponsors it for free." ”

Matthew dragged two suitcases into the dressing room, changed into a shirt, bow tie, and men's dress, and put on his shiny and restrained leather shoes, and came out for a circle, standing in front of the dressing mirror to look.

"It's ok. Charlize Theron came up behind him, "It's a perfect fit." ”

Matthew returned to the locker room, changed back into loose loungewear, and came out to find Charlize Theron, who was packing up, in the cloakroom, and hugged her from behind.

"Sally, you're measuring just right. Matthew pressed her against a closet, "Now it's time for me to weigh you." ”

The two hid in the master bedroom on the second floor and didn't come down until noon, since they hadn't hired a chef yet, Matthew cooked lunch himself, the two had just eaten Chinese tomato and egg noodles, and Liszt commanded a truck to drive into the manor.

The van was covered with Charlize Theron's stuff, and it was a lot more troublesome for women to move than for men.

Charlize Theron directed the workers to unload the truck, and Matthew stood in front of the fountain and beckoned to the truck, "Liszt!"

His boss who used to be at the top of the Red Penguin Company hurriedly walked over and said, "Matthew, is there anything else?"

"You know mine. Matthew didn't have to hide it in front of Liszt, and said, "I'm not good at managing such a large house, and the gardens, lawns, fountains, and woods have to be maintained regularly, and these are all left to you." ”

Liszt immediately nodded, "Okay, no problem!"

He has been grasping the Matthew line just to get more business, such a luxury estate, the daily maintenance expenses per month alone, is a lot of money.

Matthew added, "You come up with a plan and show it to me." ”

It was not the first time that Liszt had dealt with Matthew, and said, "I will bring it to you as soon as possible." ”

"And ......," Matthew thought for a moment, "if there's a suitable servant, you can recommend it to me." ”

He is more cautious in this regard, and has already said hello to Helen Herman before, and it will be decided when the situation comes.

Liszt responded again, knowing very well that Ma was on the rise, and as long as there were no mistakes on his side, it was a long-term business.

What's more, Matthew now has a mansion and will need more services in the future.

As for the hostess Charlize Theron, Liszt never saw it as an obstacle, and Hollywood men, girlfriends and wives have never been a reason to refuse.

Bella Anderson came out of the house at this time and walked directly to Matthew, Liszt was very eye-catching, glanced at Bella Anderson, and made an excuse to go back to the van.

"Just received an email from Universal Pictures. Bella Anderson knew Matthew's work habits, and he didn't say too much, "As of 24 o'clock last night, the North American box office pre-sales of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" totaled $16.3 million. ”

Matthew nodded, "It looks like the box office didn't go bad for the first weekend." ”

Bella Anderson asked curiously, "How many are there?"

Matthew laughed and said, "We won't know until next Monday, but judging from the pre-sale, $50 million shouldn't be a problem." ”

After the truck was unloaded, Liszt beckoned the driver and the workers to leave together, and out of Horner Manor, he settled the expenses with the workers, and drove directly back to his home in West Hollywood.

As soon as he got home, Liszt heard his son Brian on the phone.

"Hey, Daenerys? It's me, Brian. How's your connection?" Brian waved when he saw his father, and continued to call, "Thirty-one contacted? ”

Liszt didn't go far, and sat down on the couch near Brian's phone call.

Brian continued to speak into the phone, "My side is definitely better than yours, don't forget, I'm one of the initiators of Matthew West's Hollywood fan group, and I'm sure there are fifty-two people who will go to see the advance show together, and I'll contact the theater later to see if I can book a theater." ”

"Okay, let's continue to contact people and strive for more, not only to support Matthew, but also to be able to share the hall alone......"

After a few more words, Brian hung up the phone and said to Liszt with a smile, "Dad, you came back early today." ”

"Hmm. Liszt nodded and asked, "Is it in the advance scene where the contacts went to see "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" together?"

Brian scratched his head embarrassedly, "yes, I ......"

Liszt waved his hand at him and said, "Brian, I don't object to you doing this, remember the last time I introduced you to Bella?"

"Remember!" Brian immediately remembered, "the girl with the short red hair." ”

Liszt said earnestly, "You should think about what she said, being a celebrity fan can be managed as a career, and if you do it well, it is also very promising." ”

Brian was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll think about it." ”

Before the official release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," Brian and Daenerys contacted hundreds of Matthew fans, chartered a theater in West Hollywood to screen the film, and waited for the film to be released.
