Chapter 122: A Screening Room for Two People

"Man, this is a traffic jam, aren't you in a hurry?" The black driver was puzzled when he saw the change in the expression on Chen Tian's face.

At first, he felt that Chen Tian was depressed when he was stuck in traffic, but now Chen Tian smiled instead.

You know, at this moment, almost half an hour has passed since the start of the traffic jam, and almost only a few hundred meters have been walked in this half an hour.

Chen Tian turned his head to look at the black driver in the driver's seat: "Of course I'm in a hurry, my family is still waiting for me to go back."

But what can be done in a hurry? It's better to be patient, maybe a piece of music is a good choice. ”

"You're in a good state of mind, but I can't help it, I'm used to situations like this, damn traffic jams. ”

Accompanied by complaints, music began to play inside the taxi.

Chen Tian smiled and began to seriously think about the feasible plan brought by the traffic jam.

The number of theaters in the six major cinema chains is not large, but most of their geographical locations are very good, and the geographical location advantage coupled with the surrounding supporting facilities and internal environment has allowed them to take away a large number of moviegoers.

In contrast, other cinema chains, especially those of small cinema chains, although there is not much difference in the internal facilities and environment.

In addition to the urban theaters, the location of the theaters in the urban area is also relatively remote, and such a congenital difference leads them to not be able to gain a large number of moviegoers.

And Chen Tian wants to take advantage of this congenital difference, turning the remote location of these theaters into a favorable condition to attract people to go to the theater.

As difficult as it sounds, people have inertia.

Under normal circumstances, few people are willing to give up their familiar environment. And go and choose unfamiliar places. Not to mention that this place can't be compared to the original.

But this time, Chen Tian is ready to try. If successful, Chen Tian is ready to completely abandon the last 300 theaters in the six major theater chains.

Chen Tian knows that this time is an absolute gamble, if the bet is not successful, then the box office of "Little Sunshine Beauty" will definitely be greatly impacted.

The original goal of 100 million, once the bet is not successful, the worst case may not even reach the number of 30 million.

Regarding the promotion of "Fruit Hard Candy", Chen Tian still maintained his original opinion.

Reach out to a female audience as much as possible, and at the same time promote it heavily in both print media and online before developing a female audience.

The propaganda method still does not follow the normal route, but the sword goes sideways.

Grandma Wang's home in Los Angeles' Chinatown. Edda, the little guy, was crouching beside Grandma Wang, looking at the TV screen.

When Chen Tian was about to arrive at the door, Edda, the little guy, jumped off the sofa and stood guard at the door.

Grandma Wang looked at Edda's appearance and laughed, and soon Chen Tian returned home.

The little guy circled around Chen Tian's legs, as if telling Chen Tian how much he missed him.

The day after Mr. Chen returned to Los Angeles, MGM's promotion of Hard Fruit Candy was the first to take place, with a Yahoo survey on how you would treat pedophile men.

At the same time, he reprinted the prototype article of "Fruit Hard Candy" that Chen Tian had seen on the forum, and hired people to comment from both positive and negative aspects.

One side supported what the girls had done, claiming that although it was against the law, it was also for justice.

The other side objected to the actions of the girls, and then admitted that the men were guilty and held the girls legally responsible.

On the basis of the involvement of the employer. Success has attracted attention.

The MGM official website has also officially set "Fruit Hard Candy", and "Fruit Hard Candy", which is rated R, will be screened in 100 theaters across the United States on October 10.

The most incredible thing is that. MGM deliberately emphasized on its official website that men should not go to the theater to watch, and this slogan is particularly eye-catching.

"Don't let men go to the cinema?"

MGM's special construction aroused the curiosity of many people, driving people to click on the "Fruit Hard Candy" page.

On the left side of the top page of the page is a frowning young girl, while on the other side is a handsome mature man with a camera and a smile.

In the middle of the two is "Hard Candy", the title of "Hard Candy".

The 1-minute trailer was not edited according to the plot, but the other pictures taken by Chen Tian were combined with the shots in the plot.

The two roles of Hayley played by Jennifer Lawrence and Jeff played by Joe Hamm were edited respectively.

And the two characters intersect in the trailer, and the first thing that appears is Jennifer Lawrence's smart eyes, Jennifer Lawrence holds her chin with her hands on the desk and seems to be thinking about something.

The camera turned to the appearance of Jeff at work, holding the camera with a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, and Joe Hamm looked exceptionally handsome and mature.

Ten seconds ago, no one could have imagined that Joe Hamm would be a pedophile.

The camera then cuts to Jennifer Lawrence's mature side and a surgical gown holding a scalpel in her hand.

Under the scalpel, Jeff was tied to the table, sweating profusely, shouting NO.

Then the camera pans to the scene where Joe Hamm rushes into the bathroom with a scalpel and Jennifer Lawrence looks nervous.

At this point, the trailer turns dark, and then the work written and directed by Justin Chen appears in an instant, and it will be officially released on October 10.

With just a one-minute trailer, the men who clicked in didn't see any reason why they couldn't go to the theater.

Many people in the message area sent messages asking why they didn't build yì men to go, but MGM didn't reply to all of them.

"I didn't expect you to look for me. Sophie Marceau flicked her long hair.

Chen Tian picked up his coffee and took a sip, not disappointing Sophie Marceau after meeting him today.

But Sophie Marceau couldn't give him the feeling he wanted, and Chen Tian compared Sophie Marceau and Angelina Jolie side by side in his mind.

In contrast, Chen Tian still feels that Sophie Marceau lacks a lot.

Chen Tian also knows that it is difficult to find an action actress in Hollywood who can compete with Angelina Jolie, whether it is temperament or action, Angelina Jolie has already been caught.

"I love your films. Then there was a script and thought of inviting you. ”

"Why not Angelina Jolie. Or Kate Beckinsale or Milla Jovovich are good.

If I were to play the action scenes in this script. I don't have faith.

If there are other genres of films, I think I'd be willing to try them, I've seen your "Buried Alive".

If you give me Rita's character, I'll be interested, and it's free. ”

Sophie Marceau's smile seems to go straight to the bottom of people's hearts, even when she is almost forty years old.

The years have also left traces on her body, but the temperament of the jade girl on her body has not diminished at all, but has more of a taste.

Bidding farewell to Sophie Marceau, Chen Tian felt a sense of loss in his heart. It's not Sophie Marceau's departure that is lost, it's not easy to find an actress who is as good as Angelina Jolie is.

If there is no suitable actress, then this film will be greatly discounted, and such a scene is what Chen Tian does not want to see.

As long as the actress is determined, then the rest of the roles are well arranged, including the male lead.

After the roles are decided, Chen Tian can conceive a good idea of this film according to the characteristics of the heroes and heroines themselves.

A year is enough time for him to think about every detail, but this qiē started when Chen Tian found an actress.

David Ellison once tried to poach Angelina Jolie from 20th Century Fox, but the Ellison siblings at this time did not have as much power as later generations.

Now they're just a newcomer to the film industry, and Angelina Jolie isn't your average A-lister.

In the end, the poaching idea was unsuccessful, and David Ellison did not sue Chen Tian for his failure to dig up Angelina Jolie.

"If you really can't do it, go to the Guò Actors' Union. Chen Tian sighed and walked towards Sunset Boulevard.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon. The car in Los Angeles is far less congested than when he came back yesterday, and the whole road is much wider.

Unconsciously, Chen Tian walked to the door of a Cinemark flagship store. Next to the flagship store is a large McDonald's store.

Like most McDonald's stores in the United States, most people go directly after buying, and few people will stay in the store and eat before leaving.

Although it is afternoon working time, McDonald's stores will not be as deserted as they are now.

"It's Justin Chen, that bastard!"

Chen Tian walked past McDonald's, and when he passed the open temporary sales window, Chen Tianxia subconsciously glanced at it.

At the temporary window was a black woman, Chen Tian didn't expect that just by looking at him, the woman recognized him and scolded him.

"Ma'am, have I offended you?" Chen Tian frowned and stopped.

"If it weren't for you, would we have no business? We've canceled the Super Package program.

But no one came to my store, and if it continued, we would all have to go home unemployed. ”

Chen Tian expected the impact of "Super Burger King" on McDonald's, but he didn't expect this woman to say it so strictly.

"I don't eat fast food anymore! Justin Chen's work is so good, I think I'm going to see his next film, "Little Sunshine Beauty." A woman's figure came from behind her.

Chen Tian turned his head, and a tall beauty walked in front of him, and next to him was a handsome white man: "Millie, I heard that he also has a new work "Fruit Hard Candy", but MGM said that he will not build a man to go." ”

"Yes, then I'd like to go and see it, and you'll have to go with me then." ”

Two people walked past Chen Tian, and the black woman at the window glared at Chen Tian with fierce eyes.

Chen Tian left a little embarrassed, he was very curious about the impact on this McDonald's shop.

After just a few steps, I realized the reason.

Because the Cinemark flagship store is owned by the Cinemark Cinema Group, which is the third largest cinema chain in the United States and the second largest in the world.

Looking down the stairs, directly across the road is a poster of "Kill Bill".

On the side wall of the staircase is a poster of "Super Burger King", and Chen Tian finally knows the reason why this McDonald's store has no customer flow.

Chen Tian looked at Uma Thurman, who was holding a Japanese katana on the "Kill Bill" poster, and Uma Thurman was also one of the candidates he had considered.

Quentin Tarantino has seen many of the films, and the "Kill Bill" series, but all on the computer.

The deepest impression is the beauty of Uma Thurman in the film, which is completely hidden by Quentin, a genius director, in the film.

The real Uma Thurman is a Swedish psychologist because his father studied Indian Buddhist philosophy.

This makes her have the influence of oriental culture and European charm at the same time, which makes her unique temperament and mysterious, and she is the standard beauty in the minds of many fans.

It's nothing to do now, Chen Tian wants to go to the theater to see "Kill Bill".

It's just the right time to get a closer look at Uma Thurman's performance, and if it's appropriate, Chen Tian is ready to contact her to try it out.

Walking up the stairs is followed by an elevator that leads to the designated Cinemark on the eighth floor.

Since it was afternoon, there were only a few people in the ticket hall.

Chen Tian looked at the film schedule, and the number of shows of "Super Burger King" was only 5 in a day, and the number of shows in the evening was only 1.

After buying a ticket for "Kill Bill", Chen Tian sat on the sofa and waited.

It takes 10 minutes to kick off, and there is no ticket check yet.

The sound of high heels hitting the floor is getting closer and closer, and the sound seems to be a node of music.

From the sound of footsteps, Chen Tian felt that this woman should be not bad.

"Give me a ticket to Kill Bill, thank you!" the woman's voice sounded good.

"Killing Bill is about to begin, now is the check-in!"

The staff's voice rang out, and Chen Tian walked towards the ticket gate with his bag.

The sound of high heels also walked towards the ticket gate, and Chen Tian walked directly to the screening hall after checking the ticket.

The hall that can accommodate 500 people is extremely empty, and Chen Tian sits in the middle and the best viewing position.

And the owner of the high heels also walked to this row, Chen Tian turned his head and glanced at it, the woman was holding a bucket of popcorn and a glass of Coke in her hand.

The big toad mirror obscured the woman's face, and Chen Tian couldn't see the person who came, but the woman at least looked like a beauty from the figure.

The woman also glanced at Chen Tian and smiled at Chen Tian.

The smile gave Chen Tian a sweet feeling, although he couldn't see how she looked, Chen Tian had already dared to boldly conclude that the person who came must be a beauty.

The woman sat directly three seats away from Chen Tian, the lights in the theater were all turned off, and the huge screening hall became the two of them.

The screen slowly lit up, the Walt Disney logo appeared on the screen, and the music sounded.

There was a heavy wheezing sound, and the subtitle "Revenge is cold-blooded" appeared on the screen. (To be continued......)

PS: Four thousand words, I won't update it today, and the king has troubled Xiao Ai for a long time during this time.
