Chapter 256: Word of Mouth

Scarlett rolled over and lay on the bed, looking at the white roof.

The brief movie review I had just seen appeared in my mind, imagining myself and Chen Tian.

Now her and Chen Tian's careers are climbing at a high speed, from that early morning last year to a little more than a year now, the two have been together for no more than a month.

Most of the time, she and Chen Tian were in different cities and had their own lives.

Life is more about work than about each other, even if the hearts of both parties are still together.

There has never been a shortage of outstanding men around him, and Chen Tian, as a director, has no shortage of beauties, and even has the right to choose beauties.

Although he has a lot of confidence in Chen Tian and has confidence in himself, he still has some thoughts in his heart when he sees women like Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, and Jessica Alba who don't care.

Recently, Chen Tian and Ivanka Trump, the nationally recognized lady, got together.

Although it is only a partnership, she believes that there is still a gap between a star like herself and a real celebrity like Ivanka Trump.

Thinking of this, Scarlett felt that she should still do her best in the past two years and use her excellent work to improve her fame and status while maintaining a stable relationship with Chen Tian.

She wanted to put herself in an advantageous position without thinking about how good other women were.

"Mannie, you can do it!"

"You're going to get better!"

Scarlett clenched her fists and cheered for herself.

Chen Tian didn't know that Scarlett, who was far away in New Zealand, would think so much, and at this moment he had already figured out the general idea of "Raid".

For the rest, he knew that it was not enough to think about it in his head. It is only when it is handed over to the shooting process that it is the most correct.

Moved his neck. Chen Tian turned his head.

Anne Hathaway didn't expect Chen Tian to suddenly turn her head. It's like being caught peeping.

brushed, and suddenly his face climbed up with a flush, and he quickly twisted his head to the side.

Chen Tian didn't notice Anne Hathaway's strange appearance, and it was almost four hours before she arrived in New York.

There are still many things to do during the day tomorrow, Chen Tian closed his eyes.

At 4:10 a.m., Chen Tian's flight arrived at Kennedy Airport, and the sky in New York in June had returned from darkness.

Sitting in the car that Ivanka Trump had already arranged, the group went to the Hilton Hotel on Liberty Island in a daze.

"Justin. How much do you think our premiere will get at the box office?" asked David Ellison with a smile.

It's 7:10 a.m., and the cosmopolitan city of New York is already bustling with people, and the streets outside the Hilton are full of cars and pedestrians.

"Of course, the more the merrier. Chen Tian smiled and took a sip of milk, and on the table in front of him were several newspapers delivered by the hotel waiter, and at the top was the New York Post, the owner of George Edgar, the protagonist of this afternoon.

The bold headline "Walk the Talk, Run Naked" is on the front page, with images of George Edgar and the New York Post newspaper building.

"Oh, the New York Post is on the front page, and this time they have made up their minds to take advantage of the opportunity to gain attention. David Ellison pouted and smiled.

"Do you expect them to be fools and only profit us?" said Megan Ellison's voice not far away.

Chen Tian shrugged. Megan Ellison is right.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect the New York Post to gain anything from a complete loss, but then both sides will take what they need. The only victim could have been George Edgar.

In contrast, Chen Tian would prefer to see the New York Post's evaluation of "The Queen Wears Prada."

Since its bet with George Edgar, the New York Post has stood on the opposite side of Chen Tian every time.

opened to the entertainment page of the New York Post, a full two pages of gambling reports, and on the fifth page, Chen Tiancai saw the movie page of the New York Post.

On the right-hand side of the page, on the column, is the title "Medioccrity by Miracles" in large font.

"A fairly good fashion film, we can't be too harsh on directors who are trying fashion films for the first time.

But for Wonder director Justin Chen, we have to have strict standards.

By the standards of miracles, this is at best a spiritual education film that relies on a mix of gorgeous luxury goods and outstanding acting.

Not great, but certainly not bad, the only thing to blame is that Justin Chen's screen debut was far less impressive than his directorial debut, and more like a drag bottle. ”

Looking at the final title of the book, George Edgar, Chen Tian laughed: "You should really look at this evaluation, in my opinion this is their best praise for me, I am ready to accept criticism, but it turns out that it is not." ”

"Are you masochistic?" said David Ellison, smiling, as he took the newspaper.

"Maybe I'm used to being sprayed, and suddenly I don't blame, I'm a little unaccustomed. Chen Tian smiled and picked up another newspaper, USA Today.

Habitually, he turned directly to the film review column, and Chen Tian saw Claudia Puig's film review column at a glance.

Claudia Puig said in her column: "The recent summer vacation schedule is so crazy, and under the rare calm, miracle director Justin Chen entered the summer vacation schedule with the first major production in his directorial career.

Well, in fact, the first thing I want to complain about is that this so-called big system zuò is actually only a pitiful 35 million system zuò fee.

Throw away the so-called first big production zuò, this is a fairly well-made film, there is no habitual psychological suspense, and it does not always make people feel that there is a little less Justin-esque film flavor.

But the wonderful dialogue still made me feel the miracle director Justin Chen, who is used to using dialogue to make films wonderful.

When you are gone, it means that you should be promoted, and I am searching to see if I am in such a situation.

Thank you Justin for presenting this excellent novel to us perfectly. Let's be more accurate to know that sometimes we gain some but lose more.

I have to say one last thing. He is completely covered by the brilliance of other people's superb acting skills. Actually, he's not that bad. ”

"I like this, she is suing me, I actually acted quite well. Chen Tian laughed.

"Justin, for the first time I found you to be that narcissistic. Megan Ellison sat on the other side of Chen Tian and took the USA Today newspaper from Chen Tian's hand.

Roger Albert, a staunch supporter of Chen Tian, wrote in the latest issue of the Chicago Sun-Times' personal film review column.

"Justin didn't disappoint, it's a wonderful fashion film, it's a film that can move people's hearts.

still continues the signature of Justin's film - superb lines and excellent actors.

The use of long shots is perfect with the superb acting skills of the likes of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

It's no exaggeration to say that Justin is still continuing the path of genre conquest, and the next action movie? I can't think of a reason not to look forward to it.

Finally, a few words about his screen debut. Actually, it's not that bad. ”

As before, Roger Albert used to star films during film reviews.

However, unlike in the past, Roger Albert, who gave Chen Tian a 4.5 star in a row, only scored four stars this time.

Matthew Lunt is the distribution manager of Twentieth Century Fox.

He once won the copyright of the film and television adaptation of "The Queen Wears Prada", but was pried away by the Ellison brothers and sisters.

He has always been obsessed with this matter, even if Fox and the Ellison siblings agreed to a 100 million yuan action movie bet.

He is full of confidence in this bet, but he still can't accept the fact that "The Queen Wears Prada" was snatched away.

Yesterday's premiere of "The Queen Wears Prada" was also the day of the premiere of Fox's film "Dodgeball Madness".

"Dodgeball Madness" costs only 20 million, which is only a very small investment for Fox.

But he has full confidence in the reputation of "Crazy Dodgeball", but the popularity on the Internet at the moment cannot be compared with "The Queen Wears Prada".

The word-of-mouth box office failure of "The Queen Wears Prada", which he was looking forward to in his heart. It doesn't show up at the moment.

Matthew Runt snorted coldly and put down the Chicago Sun-Times. Picked up another newspaper, the Los Angeles Times.

Flipping to the movie review column page, the film review of "Dodgeball Madness" is in the lower right corner of the page, which is pitifully small compared to the film "The Queen Wears Prada".

"Even if you don't understand fashion, you can still see the true meaning of this film, and Justin Chan perfectly shows what the film is trying to say.

Despite the brilliance of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, they still can't stop people from looking at him.

This is an excellent film that can benefit a lot, and it is by no means limited to women in the workplace. ”

"Shit!!" Matthew Runt scolded, putting the newspaper down.

Chen Tian, who was far away in New York, touched his nose: "It seems that someone is scolding me." ”

The computer page in front of him showed the IMDB page, and "The Queen Wears Prada" received a score of 7.5 out of 1,056 ratings.

This score is slightly worse than the beginning of Chen Tian's previous films.

And when you open the Rotten Tomatoes website, the freshness of "The Queen Wears Prada" is only 73% under the evaluation of 886 people.

Chen Tian, who is accustomed to getting a super high reputation as soon as the film is released, looked at the numbers on the two web pages with some surprise.

David Ellison on the side was also stunned for a moment: "Justin, such a score already represents word of mouth, but not everyone can get this score." ”

When Chen Tian was a little surprised, Matthew Ronte, who was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, looked at IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes and showed a bright smile at this moment.

The numbers in front of him are already excellent for other films, but he knows that compared to Chen Tian's past, such a rating is already a failure at this moment.

Matthew Ront glanced at the time, and it was less than five minutes before Boxoffice announced yesterday's box office at 10 o'clock.

His expectations for the box office on the opening day of "The Queen Wears Prada" are even much greater than his expectations for his own movie "Crazy Dodgeball". (To be continued......)
