Chapter 960: What to do if it's too popular

Inevitably, "American Sniper" adds a lot of so-called patriotic colors and brings a strong political atmosphere.

On the day of the premiere, many veterans and their families, as well as Chris Kyle's former comrades, were invited by Matthew to the premiere venue, the Hollywood Theatre.

In addition, a large number of people protesting against the terrorist attack also appeared outside the premiere venue, and the number of people attracted countless media attention.

For the box office of this film, Matthew and Warner Bros. took great pains.

When the patriotism of the United States can be used, Hollywood never hesitates.

In fact, not only Hollywood, but also countless movies around the world that make money under the banner of patriotism.

These are the usual methods used in Hollywood, and they are easy and skillful to use.

In order to highlight the anti-terrorism and the patriotism of Lao Mei, Matthew even gave up the position of the leading actor on the red carpet to Chris Kyle.

He didn't need that kind of limelight, and so did the old cowboy Clint Eastwood, and the most striking part of the red carpet was given to Margot Robbie and Chris Kyle.

Matthew walked the red carpet, took a photo with a group of veterans, and entered the interview area for a brief interview.

Similarly, with the help of him and Warner Bros., Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle have become the targets of many media reporters.

"Matthew said that your charisma actually adds a lot to this character. A reporter asked Chris Kyle, "Are you as calm in life as you are on the battlefield?"

After a book book, interviews, fame, and veteran shootings, Chris Kyle is no longer the inexperienced veteran, and he replied with a smile, "I'm easy-going in life, aggressive at work, completely two people, and I need to switch constantly." ”

Not all journalists are so friendly, and one person asks sharply, "Why are you publishing a book? to be famous?"

Chris Kyle also worked out, saying, "If I don't write someone else will write it for me, I'd better write it myself, in honor of my brothers." ”

This is also true, in the North American book market, writing biographies and the like does not require the consent of the person concerned at all.

"Can you talk about your feat of taking out another sniper two kilometers away?" a reporter asked.

Chris Kyle appeared modest, "It's not a fair fight, I used a lot more sophisticated equipment and guns than he did. ”

It was the same reporter who asked sharply, "You shot 200 people, do you regret it?"

"I'm always asked this question, and it's clear that there's a lack of respect for the modern military. Chris Kyle responded with composure, "I don't regret every single person I killed, because they threatened the lives of my comrades, and my mission is to make my comrades pay as little as possible in the war." ”

Taya Kyle added on the sidelines, "People always mention how many people he killed in the war, and what Chris really wants to know is how many people he saved. ”

Chris Kyle added, "You will always remember the comrades you failed to save, and the pain will always be with you." ”

Matthew looked at Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle, who had been trained in the long-term hype, and even in the face of some sensitive issues, they didn't leak anything.

After being interviewed, the main creative staff of the crew took photos with the sponsors, and half an hour later, Matthew walked into the theater.

"I didn't expect Americans to be so patriotic. Margot Robbie glanced back before entering the Hollywood Theater, "I thought Americans were indifferent to that." ”

Matthew shrugged, "Never underestimate the love of the people for their country." ”

Margot Robbie said very directly, "I have the impression that the Americans in them are all indifferent guys who have dissolved the Union and the country is finished. ”

"Are you talking about me?" Matthew was self-conscious.

Margot Robbie couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't say anything about you. ”

Matthew spread his hands and said, "There are many people like me who are indifferent to the life and death of the Federation, but there are even more people who are patriotic. ”

It's true, he couldn't have been like that because his experience was so special.

Margot Robbie still said whatever came to mind, "What a great patriotism." ”

Matthew also doesn't hide it, "I like this patriotism. ”

A considerable part of the patriotism shown by Americans since the attack on the consulate in Benghazi will be reflected in "American Sniper," as evidenced by the film's excellent box office pre-sales.

Matthew believes that with the patriotic bonus of Lao Mei, there will be a blowout at the box office in the first week of "American Sniper".

"That's right. Margot Robbie thought of something else and asked, "When will the overseas propaganda program be officially launched?"

Matthew replied casually, "In two weeks at the earliest, we'll be going to premiere in major overseas markets, including your home country of Australia." ”

Margot Robbie nodded, and then asked, "Wouldn't the Australian premiere be Dolby?"

"Of course not. How could Matthew put the premiere in that kind of small place, saying, "Later in Sydney." ”

He added, "The overseas screening of this film will not start until two weeks later. ”

Margot Robbie knew a little bit and said, "I understand that it is to make the North American box office fully explode, and then drive the overseas market, right?"

Matthew didn't deny it, but said, "Almost." The subject matter of this film may not be particularly popular overseas, especially in countries outside the English-speaking region, and if the North American box office can explode, overseas attention will naturally increase. ”

It's a well-established fact, but any Hollywood blockbuster in North America can easily attract the world's attention.

The prospects of "American Sniper" in North America are generally optimistic, as an R-rated film, many media and industry professionals generally believe that the film will win $80 million in the first week in North America, and the final box office in North America will be more than $300 million.

I have to say that the social effect has a considerable additive effect on the film.

Matthew and Margot Robbie entered the VIP room one after another, and many friends who came to cheer for Matthew today, such as Michael Fassbender, Leonardo DiCaprio and Keira Knightley, all accepted the invitation and attended the red carpet of today's premiere.

After a brief chat with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew found that his girlfriend had changed again, and she was still a young and beautiful blonde female model.

It is not an exaggeration to say that where there is Leonardo DiCaprio, there are young young models.

Matthew gradually realized that Leonardo was competing with him, and the speed of changing model girlfriends was accelerating.

"I heard that you went to a party with Taylor Swift some time ago?" Leonardo DiCaprio said directly, "There are still many recognized future supermodels on it? ”

Matthew was helpless, "What can I do if I'm too popular?"

After a few words with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew approached Keira Knightley and got down to business.

"How's Lily?" he asked with concern.

"Much better. Keira Knightley sighed, "You're busy with work, so I didn't take her to Australia to find you, she shouldn't have much of a problem." ”

Matthew nodded, "That's good." ”

Two days ago, he also called Lily Depp, and his goddaughter seemed to have become much more mature because of her parents.

His and Keira Knightley's suggestion to let Lily Depp leave France has, to a certain extent, allowed Lily Depp to dodge a lot of unnecessary injuries.

It's also about Johnny Depp.

Perhaps listening to his and Keira Knightley's persuasion, Johnny Depp chose the most low-key way when he broke up with Vanessa Paradis, and did not overdo it, and as the two parties broke up, this shocking gossip quickly subsided, and there was not much media attention on Lily Depp, who they couldn't find at all.

Overall, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis broke up peacefully, and Lily Depp was lucky not to experience the tearing war of her parents.

This almost minimizes the damage to a growing girl.

Matthew couldn't do better, after all, it was impossible for parents to break up without hurting their children at all.

Later, he also contacted Johnny Depp, and he didn't know what kind of charm that woman had and fascinated Johnny Depp.

The exact news at the moment is that Johnny Depp has proposed to the woman.

Matthew didn't say anything more about it, even if it was a close friend, some things and some things had to be said in moderation.

I hope Depp finds true love. That's all he can think.

Keira Knightley saw Clint Eastwood and went to talk to the old cowboy, while Matthew whispered to Michael Fassbender.

"Although I failed last year, I was not reconciled. Michael Fassbender whispered, "I don't believe Harvey Weinstein can really completely control the Oscars, and I'm ready to challenge for Best Actor again this year." ”

Matthew nodded, "The biopic "Jobs"?"

He knew that the script was adapted from Walter Isaacson's "The Biography of Steve Jobs", which was also the only biographical authorized by Jobs during his lifetime, Sony Columbia bought the adaptation rights in 2011, and later abandoned the plan, Universal took over the film rights for $30 million, and then had this biographical film directed by Danny Ball and starring Fassbinder.

Michael Fassbender was also not polite to Matthew, "Your ticket is going to keep giving me." ”

The two have been friends for more than ten years, and Matthew didn't think about it, so he said, "I will mobilize the people around me to vote for you." ”

A staff member came to remind that the VIP room was walking towards the screening hall one after another.
