Chapter 99, I have a big heart, I don't accept interviews
With a huge box office of 215 million, even if Alice was prepared in her heart, she was still frightened by this super huge amount of money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter all, even in the original history of 2009, the box office of this movie was only 190 million, although the U.S. stock market at the time of the subprime mortgage crisis may not have been as developed as it was in the 90s, but it still makes her ecstatic that it can still create such an achievement after 20 years.
Even Alice thought so, so for the entire industry, the achievement of this film is like Halley's comet falling from the sky, something that has not been encountered in many years.
The Hollywood Reporter is one of the top entertainment magazines in the United States, and every year, editors evaluate the status, influence, titles, and of course, all sensational news of many stars around the world through various authoritative channels. It can be said that everyone here is extremely proud of their work, and the centripetal force is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But because of this, Domini O'Brien is currently in a rage.
Alice Wang, a rookie director hired by a fledgling film company, was able to make $200 million at the box office, and according to the survey, the shooting cost was just over $10,000. Looking at the entire history of Hollywood, and even the history of global film development, this is an absolutely unheard of achievement, and it is understandable how lucky and glorious it must be for that company and for that director.
However, the reality is often a huge gap with imagination, and after Dominee called DreamWorks, the other party actually said that the director refused to be interviewed!
When she heard this reply, Dominie's first thought was that something must be wrong with her ears. After realizing that her hearing was still good, she immediately thought that the other party must have said the wrong thing. After all, for a budding director, being interviewed by a top magazine like The Hollywood Reporter couldn't be more honorable!
What's more, Dominie also knows very well that the director is not only a newcomer, but even a seventh-grade middle school student! And the members of her crew are just members of UCLA's college film club!
And this middle school student also wrote a novel, a bestseller that was on the New York Times' list of the most anticipated new books of the year before it was published, and now it is on the best-selling list, the charming science fiction novel, "Jurassic Park......
There are so many and so precious these kinds of aura, that any adult knows very well. As an industry insider, Domini knows how many media magazines have tracked and reported on the box office of "Ghost Shadow" in the past few months. It can be said that her phone call did not mean to make a score at all, and she definitely sincerely wanted to interview the mysterious little girl.
But now I actually got a reply that the other party was unwilling to be interviewed?
"Dominie, you just hang up a few more times, the other party is still just a child after all, she may just find it troublesome. ā
Despite the comfort of her colleagues, Dominnie's face was still full of resentment: "It's just a child? It's just a child who can make that kind of miraculous movie? It's just a child who can write that level of science fiction? Why doesn't she think it's troublesome to film? Is this the reason? She just doesn't pay attention to us at all!"
Seeing Dominie's vicious expression as she drank Coke and sat at the table next to her, Leibs sighed: "Then what do you want to do? Give up? This interview is so meaningful, don't forget, she is the director and screenwriter of this movie, although I don't know what kind of treaty she signed with DreamWorks, but there is no doubt about the multi-millionaire." Thirteen-year-old multimillionaire, you don't want to put such a big news out to other media, do you?"
Dominnie sighed deeply, she didn't know this. A thirteen-year-old multimillionaire, even if it is only 10 million...... That's ten times more than 1 million! Not to mention their "Hollywood Reporter", many magazines and media want to interview that girl, and the age and income of financial peers can be used as headlines, and there are too many angles that can be reported.
"So, that kid has actually been interviewed by other media? That's why it's troublesome? Damn, who preempted us?"
Dominee was complaining, and what she knew was that it had spread to almost the entire industry in Los Angeles. For five months, many media newspapers called DreamWorks, only to learn that Miss Alice was not in the United States at all......
Heavens, earth, how many reporters and editors look up to the sky and sigh. This is the first movie in your little child's life, and then it is such a "selfie movie" with a shooting cost of only more than 10,000 yuan, relying on some news to arouse the interest of audiences across the country every minute, let theaters across the country screen together, and then the box office on the first day is as high as 10 million......
There is no doubt that Miss Multimillionaire, at this moment when her pocket money is booming, she doesn't pay close attention to how much wealth she will have, and she doesn't want to try her best to make a show in the major media......
Actually went abroad to play?
What a heart......
If you can't get in touch, you can't get in touch, and the more "Ghost Shadows" is applauded, the more reporters want to interview this wonder girl, and people have been peeping at the door of DreamWorks every day since December. Everyone's thoughts are very simple and normal, even if Alice Wang didn't attend any of the premieres, can she not go to the company to report? Even if she goes abroad to play, can she still go to the first half of the year?
As a result, it really took half a year......
From the release in November to the release in March, she really never showed up in the five months of the ultra-long schedule. Even after the distracted UCLA Film Club students revealed her information, she was nowhere to be seen at Johnson Middle School in Culver City, even though it was just time for winter break.
"Wait...... Slow down, slow down!"
So, after being angry for a long time, Dophany screamed again and again as if she had come to her senses, and then slapped Leibs on the shoulder under the surprised gaze of the colleagues around her.
"Why didn't I get around this bend!?"
"Oh, Dauphanie, whatever the bend is, you tap!"
For so long, DreamWorks' official reply said that Alice was not there, but this time it was ...... She doesn't want to, Leibus, she doesn't want to...... Doesn't that mean that Alice has returned to China and is in DreamWorks!?"
Leibs rubbed his shoulders and said, "So you're going to go to the door of someone's house to squat? I don't think it will have any effect, other newspaper reporters have been squatting for half a year, and York of American Weekly has even suffered from varicose veins, and is about to sue DreamWorks for a penny, although I guess he is just taking advantage of the opportunity to become famous......"
Dophinie ignored the complaints of the same table, and had already hurriedly cleaned up the table, and shouted to a desk not far away: "Apply for me a field worker, take a videographer, quick!"
In this way, after a phone call that was obviously a rejection fell, the gold medal reporter of the Hollywood Reporter, Dofanie Field, still led a photographer and drove directly to the direction of Sunset Boulevard in an interview car. However, at this time, it was also the time when the sun was setting, and no matter how much she raced against time, she would not have any chance of catching Alice.
"Ah~ Actually, we can take a small plane over. ā
The red Cadillac drove down the road to San Diego, with James and Sophie sitting side by side in the front, the back seat packed with their three children. Asking for leave at the beginning of the school year is actually a very bad behavior, but who said that the three of them are top in their academic performance, so it gave Oscar the opportunity to complain.
"Flying to San Diego?"
Alice looked at her brother with an idiot look: "Again, I promise not to kill you." ā
Oscar twisted his body with an unhappy face, because he still had to make room for Hannah next to him: "The problem is, it's more than a hundred miles, and it's so uncomfortable for three people to squeeze into the back seat! I said Vivi, are you sure you haven't gained weight lately?"
"You've just gained weight! Your whole family has gained weight!"
Hannah Sophie: "Aha~!?"
Looking at Hannah's wide-eyed eyes and Sophie's gaze in the rearview mirror, Alice snorted and pushed down Oscar with her elbow.
It was time for dinner, but suddenly headed for the southern border of California, of course, for a reason.
Almost all of the box office revenue of the movie in the past five months has been used by Alice to expand the mainland clothing market, and with its hundreds of millions of dollars in the market situation at this time, it is naturally invincible and opens branches all over the southeast coast like a prairie fire. So, as Alice muttered earlier, it's time for the Clothing Research Center to be established, and Ashley is far from qualified after all.
Therefore, it is necessary to visit Paris and Milan, and it is right away.
The question is......
"If you want to blame God, or blame the dragon king, look at this sky, can you fly if you don't change the city!?"
Alice looked at the sky viciously, and it was only ten minutes before and after, and the dark clouds that came in enveloped the whole of Los Angeles, and the pouring rain washed over the whole land, and everyone was actually moving forward in the heavy rain now.
"Including Ashley's stinky girl, why do you have to go back to Milan early? It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown, why do you want to prepare a dinner for our family a day in advance!? It's this pizza and that noodle, so I am embarrassed to even refuse, and I have to change the airport to cooperate with her!"
In the front row, James was driving the car, giggling, and whispered: "Actually, it's just gluttony, why are you making so many excuses?"
"Hey, Dad!?"
"Haha~ Well done old man, that's what you should say about her!"
"Oscar, you really want to die, don't you......"
"Sister, I'll help you scratch him!"
In this way, a farce unfolded on the rainy Highway No. 1 at dusk, and everyone in the car laughed and hoped that San Diego would not be affected again.
As for the city of Los Angeles, especially in the south of a certain Sunset Boulevard, in front of a DreamWorks headquarters building......
"Are you sure you want to wait, Dophany?"
In the interview car, the photographer who was sent to cooperate was sweating profusely, because the gold medal reporter of the newspaper in the co-pilot was holding a professional infrared night vision binocular, staring at the entrance and exit gate of DreamWorks without blinking through the dark clouds and drifting heavy rain.
"Of course, buy me a burger, Big Mac and two pickled cucumbers!"
"Alas...... Well......"
