"Why? Colin, you promised me?"

Matthew Runte's anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and it was clear that he had already negotiated.

As a result, it has changed its hexagram now, and it was changed the day before the release, which makes Matthew Runt not angry.

Colin Shawn called Matthew Ronte and anticipated the situation: "I'm sorry, Matthew!

I think you should know this, just like you promised us, maybe we will continue to cooperate like this in the future, but not now, no one has trouble with money. ”

"Colin, I understand, understand!"

Matthew Lunt was angry, for 20th Century Fox, he didn't really care about how much he earned, he cared about face.

As a result, it was completely defeated by reality, and the theater chose to give up unknown interests under the immediate interests.

Matthew Runte naturally knows that the six major theaters dare to do this because "Fruit Hard Candy" has had a complete word-of-mouth reversal, and of course, there is another important reason why Fox must also rely on the six major theaters.

"Matthew, I'm sure this won't affect our cooperation, will it? Of course, we also hope that Runaway Jury will do well at the box office. ”

"Thank you!"

Matthew Runt hung up the phone in frustration, and all he could hope for now was that "Runaway Jury" did well at the box office.

This 60 million production, 20th Century Fox is looking forward to it, and it will be released in 2,815 theaters across the United States on the 17th.

At the same time, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", co-produced by Universal and Warner's company New Line and Focus, although the investment is not large, is only $9.5 million.

But the original 1974 version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was just too classic. To this day, it can still make all the audience stunned and shudder.

It has affected countless people. And now this film is a remake of the original. Although the cost is not large, it has been expected by countless fans.

The theater chain has also given 3,016 theaters support for film scheduling, which is enough to see how optimistic they are about this film.

In terms of genre, Hard Candy is a thriller/plot, Runaway Jury is a drama/thriller, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre is scary/thriller.

All three films carry the thriller label, which naturally diverts some thriller lovers.

In comparison, "Hard Fruit Candy" is undoubtedly the most disadvantageous, although it has received a lot of exposure during this time, and it has also attracted a lot of new potential audiences.

But "Hard Candy" has been in theaters for seven days, while "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Runaway Jury" are both new films. This is a huge disadvantage.

Yahoo On which of the three films are you most looking forward to, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Hard Candy" are in first and second place, respectively, while "Runaway Jury" is only in third place.

"Research doesn't say anything, word of mouth will make all the difference, and of course I know that they are also good films. Matthew Runt said in an interview with reporters.

"Hitting the Halloween, Who is the Champion" - this is the eye-catching title of "The Hollywood Reporter".

On October 17, 2003, it was two full weeks before Halloween on the 31st.

After a hiatus of almost five days, "Hard Fruit Candy", which was re-released in 2,455 stores across the United States, officially ushered in a real heavyweight opponent.

Although before this, few people thought that "Hard Candy" would qualify as a rival to the other two films.

"Hi everyone, I'm ABC reporter Marne, and I'm in front of the AMC Theater on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

In this period when the response to the film market is not enthusiastic. We're coming for Halloween, so let's hear what you're here to watch?"

In the footage. There was a long queue at the entrance of the theater, which seemed to indicate that the AMC theater would have a good result tonight.

Marne walked to the crowd with the microphone: "Let's ask this beauty what film she is watching." ”

Smiled and walked up to a woman in a long red dress: "Beautiful lady, can you ask what movie you plan to watch when you come here tonight?"

In the shot, the woman in the red dress is wearing a large toad glass.

A graceful figure, tied in a bun, and a strand of hair hanging down from her ears.

Even if the face is covered by a toad mirror, it still gives people the intuition that she is a beauty.

Although Ma is not a paparazzi, as a journalist, he also has a keen sense of observation and a natural sense of smell, and his sense of professionalism tells him that the woman in front of him should be a star.

Jessica Alba didn't expect to be caught by reporters so coincidentally, and she temporarily left the crew of "Blue Sea Tracking" due to physical reasons.

She will be in Los Angeles for three days off, an hour and a half before she arrived at the Los Angeles airport.

Despite the tiring seven-hour flight, she arrived at the theater as soon as she got home and packed her luggage.

She was already caught by reporters when she was at the airport, but she didn't expect to meet reporters again when she came to the theater now.

"I'm here to see Justin Chen's Hard Fruit Candy. ”

Marne stared at Jessica Alba and smiled and asked, "Justin Chen's Hard Candy, why is it not "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Runaway Jury", is it because Justin Chen is more handsome?"

"There's no Justin Chan in there, and I'd watch the other two films if I had time, but Hard Fruit Candy was my first choice. ”

"Justin Chan must be glad to hear this, can you take off your glasses and let us see?"

Jessica Alba looked at the crew with the camera behind Man, who was now focused on her.

"Oh, it's Jessica Alba, I didn't expect to see you here.

Are you a fan of Justin Chan, and will you be able to work with Justin if you have a chance?"

Unexpectedly, among them, there was also a beautiful star in line, although Jessica Alba has almost no films in his hands so far.

But her fame is not bad at all, of course, all this comes from her beauty.

"I just love movies. I love all the good movies. My favorite is Quentin. I went to the theater last week to see the film. ”

"Oh, Quentin and Justin are said to be working together on a film, if you're interested, maybe you can ask them, and I think you'll be able to do it. ”

Marne was tempted to ask a few gossip questions, but in a short time the line had already arrived at the ticket gate.

"Thank you, thank you, accept our interview, and hope you have a good time watching the movie tonight. ”

Alba did not reveal that he had signed a contract with Chen Tian for the film that was against Fox, and bought the ticket for "Hard Fruit Candy" and walked in directly.

An Rui, the theater staff member who asked for a group photo at the theater last time. At the moment, she was watching TV in the school dormitory, and she happened to see an interview with AMC.

It turned out to be Jessica, she went to the theater to watch "Hard Candy", and the man next to her last time was not Justin Chen. ”

Gossip is everyone's nature, and for most women, it is integrated into their bones.

Last time, she didn't know that the Asian was Chen Tian, but these days the media reports made her know that it was Chen Tian who accompanied Alba that day.

And now Alba went to the theater to watch Chen Tian's movie, and she suddenly thought that Chen Tian and Jessica Alba might have a private relationship.

Thinking of this, she became excited, and took out the photo she secretly took before the group photo and looked at it.

"The smiles of the two people are very natural, and there is obvious eye contact, my guess must not be wrong!" An Rui confidently asserted.

Anrui excitedly logged on to his Yahoo forum account. On the forum, he posted "I know a big secret, about the popular Asian director Justin and a superactress. ".

Soon someone responded to her: "Superstar, Scarlett Johansson, beauty." They're husband and wife, do you just know the truth?"

Scarlett Johansson is his wife, and Anne Hathaway is the subject of his scandals, but there is news that she will take over Justin's new film. ”

"Anne really needs Justin, her previous movies were so rotten that she had the power to be given to Justin by Miracle director. ”

……

Seeing that his post was quickly replied to by many people, An Rui tapped the keyboard proudly: "You all guessed wrong, I'm not talking about the two of them, it's the other, someone you would never think of." ”

"Do you have evidence? It's all evidence. ”

An Rui looked at the reply and smiled proudly: "Of course, I work part-time in the theater, and I took photos when I was at work before." ”

When Anrui uploaded a few photos of Chen Tian and Jessica Alba, everyone who replied to the post was stunned, and no one thought that it would be true.

"Oh!my-god!Jessica Alba, how can she be with Justin Chen. ”

"It turned out to be her, I just saw her on TV secretly going to the theater to watch "Hard Fruit Candy".

Is all this true? This news is too much for me to accept. ”

……

Miracle director Justin Chen may have a special relationship with sexy beauty Jessica Alba, which made the whole forum explode at once.

The news flew swiftly to reporters from major newspapers and websites.

And the news that Alba arrived at the Los Angeles airport more than an hour ago also broke out, and he went to the theater to support Chen Tian as soon as he flew to Los Angeles.

The two events were linked, and the scandal reports of Chen Tian and Jessica Alba appeared on major websites.

"Justin Alba's Secret Affair Exposed", "Jessica Alba Intervenes in Justin Chen's Relationship", "Scarlett, Alba, Absolute Collision", "Jessica Suspected of Falling in Love with Justin", "Marriage Crisis", ......

Entertainment gossip websites have exerted their ability to imagine wildly, in just over an hour.

Scarlett Johansson is going to divorce Chen Tian, and Jessica Alba will replace Scarlett, Chen Tian splits Alba, and Scarlett knows the truth about divorce and other news flooded the Internet.

Chen Tian, who has been exposed to a lot during this time, has once again attracted countless eyes and attention.

Many reporters in Los Angeles flocked to the AMC Theater on Sunset Boulevard, all waiting for Alba to come out.

"Scarlett, Hathaway, Alba, who's next?" - TMZ website even summarized Chen Tian in the headlines, and the most lucrative conclusion was reached. Chen Tian could be the next Woody Allen.

Alba didn't know because she happened to be interviewed while in line. Thus sparked countless crazy gossip news in just over an hour.

Jennifer Lawrence's acting skills on the screen completely moved her. She also looks forward to her cooperation with Chen Tian to be recognized by more people.

Jessica Alba would never have imagined that there were so many reporters waiting for her outside the theater at this moment.

The theater that can accommodate 500 people has almost 400 people, and this attendance rate also makes her happy for Chen Tian.

"It's incredible, and I still don't believe Jessica would fall in love with Justin Chen, man, who is Asian. ”

"Come on, Luke, don't you think Jessica is very similar to the beauty of the East?

I don't think it's impossible. And a good director is a sought-after commodity. ”

"Of course, Director Miracle, look at his two films, no one will refuse talent, especially in Hollywood, not to mention that he looks good. ”

……

The reporters guarding the door of the theater said a word to me, and such a big battle also made the audience who came to the theater curious.

"Hard Fruit Candy" in the screening room ended with the sound of music, and AJustinCHENFILM appeared on the screen.

For her, this is an excellent film, and it also makes her look forward to her cooperation with Chen Tian.

Wear toad glasses. Jessica Alba followed the crowd to the exit.

Today she flew back from the Bahamas, although she slept on the plane for almost four hours.

But the more than seven hours of flight time still made her tired. So she gave up on continuing to watch "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Runaway Jury."

If she had known that she had given up watching these two films due to exhaustion, thus further confirming the scandal between herself and Chen Tian, Alba would have preferred to sleep on a chair in the screening room than leave the theater easily.

Listening to the comments of the crowd on Hard Fruit Candy, Alba walked out of the screening room.

Reporters have long gotten the news that "Hard Fruit Candy" ends at this point.

When someone walked out of the theater, the reporters swarmed up like flies that smelled the smell.

One by one, their eyes widened, searching for Jessica Alba, who had been interviewed at night.

When Alba, dressed in a red dress, followed the crowd out of the theater, he was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters.

The sudden scene startled Jessica Alba.

"Jessica, what is your relationship with Justin?"

"Jessica, someone photographed you dating Justin Theaters, does that mean you have a special relationship?"

"Jessica, you just got off the plane and went to the theater to support Justin's films, can you tell me what it is?"

"Jessica, do you have any response to that? Did you impress you by Justin's talent?"

"Jessica, did you know that Justin and Scarlett are husband and wife?"

……

Alba is completely at a loss, although she has had some scandals since her debut, but it is almost negligible compared to other female stars.

She didn't expect that her first accidental encounter with Chen Tian in the theater would be exposed at this time.

"Jessica, is your silence tacit, and do you have anything you would like to respond to the accusations on the Internet that you interfered in Justin and Scarlett's marriage?"

"Did Justin's talent impress you?"

The reporters didn't look like they would stop asking questions, Jessica Alba was completely surrounded in the middle, and everyone around looked at it curiously.

She knew that it would definitely not work if she didn't respond, and Chen Tian signed a contract with her and did not announce it to the public.

So she didn't announce it either, but at the moment she had to say it.

Seeing that Alba was about to speak, all the reporters around him fell silent, waiting for Alba's answer.

"I've only met Justin once, that's all. ”

Alba's first sentence made the reporters not believe it, and they immediately thought of the usual way celebrities deal with scandals.

"That was half a month ago, the day Kill Bill was released, and I was a big fan of director Quentin.

So I went to the theater, and it just so happened that after watching the film, I found Director Justin and I in the same theater to watch the film, and then he invited me. ”

"Whether it's a role or a date, you must have impressed him, right?"

Jessica Alba shook her head: "Just playing a role, Director Justin told me some details about the role.

Then we separated, and the contract was also contacted by the lawyer, and the theater was the only time we met, and we had no other relationship. ”

"Is it just a role? Can you tell us what kind of role it is?"

"What kind of film, is it a deal with 20th Century Fox?"

"Yes, I'm going to play the female lead, that's all I can reveal. ”

Chen Tian and Jessica Alba became the most popular search terms, and the two suddenly climbed to the top of the list.

Scandals about Chen Tian and Alba can be seen everywhere, even if Alba said that the two were only casual work contacts and had no other relationship, but this could not stop the fire of gossip from burning.

"Okay, after talking about the current political news, let's take a look at the recent entertainment news. ”

Katie Kurek, host of CBS's ace ratings show "TODAY," laughs.

Recently, Asian-American director Justin Chan has become a national figure in the entertainment industry, and Director Miracle has become his label.

……”

Eric Lomis was in a good mood watching the "TODAY" show on his computer, because the scandal between Chen Tian and Jessica Alba once again boosted the exposure of "Hard Candy".

Coupled with the four-day-long exposure some time ago, the coverage of "Hard Fruit Candy" can almost imagine how terrifying it is.

Roger is refreshing BoxOfficeMojo, Amazon's website that systematically calculates movie box office.

Founded in 1998, it quickly developed into the most authoritative box office statistics website in North America.

Every morning at 10 a.m., the website will announce the previous day's box office results.

Like Roger, there are a lot of people who are watching yesterday's box office, and Matthew Lunte and Eric Lomis are among them.

"Alice, come out, come out!" Roger shouted at Alice as he looked at the page.

"We're winning, we're number one!" Alice screamed as she looked at the screen.

The first place is "Fruit Hard Candy" with 15.65 million in a single day, and the second "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is 10.62 million.

The third is the 4.22 million of "Kill Bill", which was released in the third week, and the new blockbuster "Runaway Jury", which was released yesterday, is only 4 million.

Matthew Runt looked at this data and leaned back in his chair all of a sudden, with a single-day box office of 4 million and 15.65 million, and a cost of 60 million and 1 million.

The huge contrast was like a rope, strangling his neck fiercely, and he couldn't breathe. (To be continued......)
