Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

"How many people are coming?"

In the theater foyer, Brian, with the assistance of five or six companions, approached the entrance with two large boxes, and Daenerys, who was carrying a backpack on each shoulder, answered, "One hundred and sixty-seven people, two hundred seats are almost full. ”

Brian nodded, "It's not bad, I have prepared two hundred cultural shirts, which is enough." ”

They came to the ticket office of the theater, and because it was a private venue, the people in the theater just opened the box and looked through it briefly, and then let them in.

The group turned into the No. 7 theater, and the crowd was almost full.

Brian didn't say a word, hurriedly beckoned someone to come over to help, and sent the cultural shirt down, and the fans who received the cultural shirt immediately put it on their bodies, the cultural shirt was of good quality, and it was printed with a close-up portrait of Ma Xiu aiming at a gun in the trailer of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

"Brian, you don't charge money for this, do you?" someone asked aloud.

"Don't worry!" Brian deliberately raised his voice, "The cultural shirts are all free!"

He explained simply, "I know the people from the filmmaker, and they heard that we have such a spontaneous event and sponsored some of our cultural shirts, but there is also one condition. ”

When there are too many people, it is easy to be confused, and immediately someone asks in a disorderly manner, "What conditions?"

Brian didn't sell it, and said directly, "They need our group photo, and it's also good for Matthew! Let the outside world see that Matthew has the support of us as a strong backing!"

"Good!"

"Let's take pictures!"

"Yes, shoot now!"

There was chaos in the screening room, Brian beckoned a few acquaintances to maintain order, and then found more than 30 people to take a group photo, after all, the space in front of the screening hall was limited, and it could not accommodate hundreds of people to take a group photo together.

Finally, as the film got closer and closer, the theater gradually quieted down, and Brian sat on the empty seat next to Daenerys, feeling haggard.

Organizing such an event was not an easy task for young Brian.

But he has no intention of giving up, and contacting Bella Anderson this time can be regarded as an official start.

At the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the red carpet ceremony has come to an end, and the main cast and crew of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" stood in front of the sponsor's backdrop and took a group photo together.

At the end of the group photo, Matthew led Charlize Theron into the theater.

Charlize Theron asked in a low voice, "What did Aziva Gosman mean by what he just told you?"

Before the crew stood together for a group photo, Aziva Gosman specially stopped Matthew and chatted a few words.

"Nothing. Matthew saw someone passing by, lowered his voice and said, "Aziva Gosman has a new project, probably trying to find me to work with." ”

"Oh?" asked Charlize Theron, curiously, "what project?"

Matthew shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, he didn't say." ”

Due to the late arrival time, the crew did not go to the VIP room again, and under the leadership of Aziva Gosman, they went directly to the screening hall.

Coming to the front row of the theater through the side door, Matthew deliberately glanced behind him, and the more than 1,000 seats at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood seemed to be full.

"Hey, Matthew!"

A familiar voice came from the guest seat, and Matthew stopped, took two steps that way, and hugged James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as they stood up.

"Won't you introduce me?" James McAvoy looked at Charlize Theron.

Matthew beckoned Charlize Theron over, pointed at James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and said, "Tell me about two of my best friends." ”

He successively introduced, "The short one is James McAvoy, the tall one is Michael Fassbender, and they are both actors. ”

He then introduced Charlize Theron, "James, Michael, this is Charlize Theron, my ...... Well...... Fiancee. ”

Saying this title, Matthew was somewhat uncomfortable.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender greeted Charlize Theron and exchanged a few more pleasantries, Charlize Theron didn't know them before, and didn't say much, and quickly whispered to Matthew, "I'll go and wait for you in the front." ”

"Hmm. Matthew nodded.

Charlize Theron had just left, and since there was no one sitting around for the time being, Michael Fassbender whispered, "Last time you drank, you said you had a fear of marriage, how did you propose now?"

"This ......" Matthew didn't want to lie to the two of them, and it was not good to just say it, so he simply said vaguely, "This matter is not clear in a sentence or two. ”

James McAvoy is more concerned about other aspects, "Matthew, how did you do that kid actually got an Oscar?"

Matthew didn't answer his question, but said, "You got the invitation, right?"

"Roger. Michael Fassbender nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be there." ”

James McAvoy also said, "I'm definitely not going to be absent, and I'm going to speak for the man." ”

Matthew patted James McAvoy on the arm and said, "Don't speak ill of me then, or you'll ...... when you get married."

James McAvoy interrupted Matthew, "You're thinking too far and too far, I don't even know when I'm going to get married." ”

Matthew looked at the watch and said, "It's almost time, I'll be busy in a few days, and I'll go and drink." ”

Michael Fassbender smiled sharkishly again, "No problem, James and I will definitely drink up your wine collection." ”

Waving to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, Matthew reflexively walked to the front row and sat down next to Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron said curiously, "I haven't heard you mention them before, I thought your best friend was Depp." ”

"I've known them since I first started in the industry. Matthew explained simply, "James and Michael are my best friends." ”

Unlike Johnny Depp, his friendship with James McEvoy and Michael Fassbender has been tested side by side.

As the film was approaching, people walked into the theater where "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was screened in advance.

In New York, at a Imperial Entertainment theater near Central Park in Manhattan, Rex Reed stood in the lobby and looked at the hanging poster, which featured a man and a woman standing with a gun.

The woman is Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, and the man is Hollywood's popular hardcore actor Matthew Horner.

As a professional film critic working for The New York Observer, Rex Reed naturally recognized these two men, especially Matthew Horner, who impressed him even more.

Back then, in the midst of a hype, he also kissed the ass of a donkey because of Matthew Horner.

Although the two later reconciled because of the need for publicity and hype, this incident did leave an extremely deep impression on him.

Even the NBA guys followed his example and hyped it up once, which instantly made Barkley's bald mouth and another newcomer famous all over the United States.

He watched this incident at the time, and he was also quite emotional, the brokerage team behind it definitely has a good hand in publicity and promotion.

Rex Reid didn't think it was strange, after all, the entertainment and sports industries are not separated, whether it is an entertainment star or a sports star, as long as they have a huge reputation, it often means that they can get a lot.

Back then, he deliberately hooked Matthew Horner and hyped it up in a counter-spraying way, wasn't it fame?

Since then, he has made a name for himself and has become a high-profile figure in film critics and even critics, and this year he even entered the ranks of the top 10 professional film critics in New York selected by The New Yorker!

There is no doubt that he benefited a lot from the hype incident back then, and now he can be regarded as a successful person.

In the past half a month, all the media that are related to entertainment are full of Matthew Horner, Charlize Theron and all kinds of hype from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Rex Reed also noticed, so today he came over to pay attention to the new movie of "Old Friend".

Of course, as a professional film critic, he also has to judge the quality of the film.

When he came to the theater ticket office, Rex Reed didn't have a ticket, so he took out his membership card issued by the New York Film Critics Association and handed it to the ticket inspector.

"Hello, Mr. Reed. The ticket inspector looked at it carefully, took out a pen and prepared to record it in the notebook, "Which movie are you going to watch?"

Rex Reed withdrew his Critics Association membership card, saying, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, released by Universal Pictures. ”

The ticket inspector immediately made a note of it, "You can go in, Mr. Reed." ”

When Rex Reid entered the screening area, the ticket inspector made a special mark, and according to the prevailing rules in the industry, professional film critics generally pay for the viewing activities of the distribution company.

Entering the screening room, Rex Reid took a look, and due to the proximity of the screening time, the attendance rate in the theater was not bad, and nearly half of the seats were filled with audiences.

Judging from past experience, the attendance rate of a summer commercial entertainment movie can reach 50% in advance, and the film can often be a big hit or even a super hit.

Rex Reid found a decent empty seat, and after sitting down, he habitually took out his pen and notebook, and prepared to read and write down later.

"Such a pure and chaotic entertainment movie. "Rex Reed is still relatively sober in his heart," it is estimated that it is a typical popcorn movie. ”

The lights on the ceiling suddenly went out, and the big screen lit up, and Universal Studios' iconic opening was already on the big screen.

The Chinese Theatre in Hollywood was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge screen opposite.

At this moment, thousands of audiences across the United States are eagerly waiting for the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
