After getting up the next day and feeling the sun shining through the window into his eyes, Walter opened his misty sleepy eyes and pushed the warm body in his arms away.

I found the pajamas that I threw in the place last night and put them on my body, kissed the woman under the thin quilt, washed up and took a hot shower, and then dressed and drove out. After buying a pizza breakfast for two, I also bought newspapers everywhere, and bought all the mainstream newspapers and entertainment newspapers on the market at the moment.

When he got home, Basinger had already gotten up and was washing, and Walter walked into the dining room with a pile of newspapers and breakfast, and while enjoying breakfast, he flipped through the news related to "American Painting".

First of all, there are film review columns in some major newspapers distributed in the United States, and after flipping through a few newspapers at random, Walter saw a long film review on the front page of the Los Angeles Times at a glance.

It's hard to imagine that rookie director George Lucas can make such a fresh and lovely nostalgic film of the American 60s, which is really impressive. The story is set in a small town in the United States in the summer of 1962, describing the life of several high school students on the night of graduation, just like the movie propaganda, reflecting the thoughts and feelings of young Americans who lived a prosperous life on the eve of the Vietnam War.

After opening this newspaper, I flipped through a few other newspapers again, and saw the film review of the New York Times, which also appeared in a long film review on the front page.

"American Painting" can be said to be the youth memory of a generation of Americans, the new director George Lucas in the film abandons artistic processing, more pursuit of a certain real documentary effect, the film shows the life and psychological state of four American high school graduates with the reality of the times. In the movie, rock, highway, youth and many other elements are perfectly integrated in the film, and everywhere is filled with traces of the times of the sixties, it is hard to imagine that this is a movie written and directed by a new director, it is so in-depth, with the theme of the movie anti-Vietnam War, it is simply the recent "Agent Orange incident" in the US military, a rare anti-Vietnam War movie.

At a glance, almost all of the front pages of the big newspapers have the shadow of "American Style Painting", and looking at the film reviews full of appreciation, Walter feels that it was written by the same person. Of course, it is not surprising that there are these praises, and Walter communicated privately beforehand, and gave these big reporters and companies a lot of publicity expenses, plus the quality of the film is also very good, no wonder they will praise "American Style Painting" so unifiedly.

Walter then flipped through other newspapers, most of them tabloids, and needed to slowly find the entertainment section on his own. Soon, after looking around, he found that most of the newspapers were mostly praised, but they were not as boastful as the big newspapers that he had sent money, and of course there were also harsh bad reviews.

Most of those critics are newspapers that don't sell much, but there is always new news, and I don't know if their film reviews are written to hit newspaper sales, or if they are really not optimistic about the movie.

Of course, these bad reviews are basically focused on the fact that the film has too little plot about the anti-Vietnam War, and the hype theme in the early stage is seriously inconsistent with the movie, deceiving the audience into the theater to watch it. There are even media clamoring that although they saw a full number of moviegoers in the theater last night, the movie's marketing method of deceiving the audience will definitely lose a lot of viewers in the future.

After reading these comments, Walter didn't have much expression, which he had expected. Frankly speaking, Walter also thinks that the plot of the film is only barely involved in the anti-Vietnam War.

After all, except for a male protagonist who disappeared in the Vietnam War, most of the others depict the beautiful life of the American economy before the war. You can say that this is a good way to reflect the Vietnam War through the good life before the war, and in the same way, you can also say that it is nothing more than a male protagonist participating in the Vietnam War, which involved the Vietnam War, in fact, this is the love story of young people in the town before the Vietnam War, and it is not an anti-Vietnam War movie at all.

Anyway, language and perception are wonderful things, and those who understand and narrate from different angles will have different understandings.

However, these have nothing to do with Walter, he only knows that public opinion is better than bad reviews, which is much better. Because this is a crucial heat for the continued viewing popularity of the film in the future, after all, without these public opinion propaganda, it will not be possible to attract more people to pay attention to "American Style Painting", so as to generate the desire to buy tickets.

It's just that now it is back to the problem that Walter has not thought about last night, how to keep the movie hot, this is a question worth pondering. After all, the box office of the movie is not only the public opinion publicity before the release of the movie, but also the continuous exposure after the release.

Thinking of this, Walter picked up the landline phone again and dialed Mike's number.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Mike, it's me, Walter. ”

"Walter, what's the matter, do you want to ask about the box office?" Mike muttered to himself, continuing, "I'll tell you an unfortunate thing, after our repeated checks in the morning, yesterday's box office was tens of thousands of dollars more, and the box office prepared was five hundred and thirty ......."

"Okay, I'm not here to ask about it, I'm content with five million dollars at the box office last night. Walter interrupted Mike's eloquence and said, this distribution manager, probably for Disney's release of live-action films, after not seeing such a good box office start for a long time, he seemed very excited.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

"I'd like to ask you, we didn't disclose the media on the first day of last night, right?" Vought asked, which was the purpose of his call. Generally speaking, if the box office of a movie on the first day is very high, as a distributor and a film production company, they will try their best to disclose the media, spread the news to the public as soon as possible, continue to raise the popularity of the movie, and let more audiences be attracted, so as to enter the theater to buy tickets to watch the movie.

"Not yet, but it's almost there, I've already got people in touch......"

"Then don't contact you just yet. Walter interrupted again,

"I'm sorry? I heard me right, did you? you told me not to contact the media?" Mike said in a surprised tone on the phone.

"That's right, you heard it right, I told you not to inform the media about the first-day box office for the time being. ”

"Why?"

"Hmm...... I wondered, why don't we play another word game?" said Walter with a sinister smile on his lips.
