Chapter 666 [Second Sister Hollywood, Houston Drama]

After the Suns played the game on Tuesday, Guo Xu flew to Houston on Robert's special plane and was not with his Suns teammates.

He was joined by Megan Fox, along with "Mermaid" Siella Boggs and "Sea Lord" Patrick Wilson. They spend the next two days in Houston for rehearsals, and the musical officially starts on Friday.

As the protagonists, the other two are very nervous, this performance is very useful for a lifetime, and they will never ask for no more acting. Guo Xu's mentality is relatively relaxed, he doesn't want to make money, he just wants to show off his skills in the time loop.

It's better than performing on Broadway, where the Toyota Center often hosts concerts and can accommodate up to 19,000 people, which is not comparable to theaters. Unlike the concert, this was the All-Star Weekend, where the NBA officially sold the rights to broadcast it live on many radio stations around the world, just like the NBA All-Star Game.

Because this performance is multi-party accounting, everyone hopes to make more money, and the early publicity is in place. Houston has large posters of The Phantom of the Opera in arenas, carnivals, airports and other places, and visitors know they're going to have a concert as soon as they arrive.

What is this concept? As long as Guo Xu's popularity is high enough, it is no problem to attract tens of millions of viewers, and it is really popular all over the world.

That's not an exaggeration, as TNT Radio alone watched the All-Star Game last year with more than 5 million viewers.

They still underestimate foreign audiences, Guo Xu's popularity in China is higher than Yao Mingdu, and he is the most watched film and television song and sports star, CCTV TV broadcast this concert live, and the Chinese audience alone is conservatively estimated to be tens of millions.

Many Broadway soprano singers are jealous, and they all want to be famous but have no chance to show their faces.

In interviews with online singers, almost all of them gave negative evaluations, saying that they are not optimistic about Guo Xu playing the Phantom well", his performance will be terrible, and music fans had better not have any expectations, if they want to listen to authentic musicals, they still have to choose Broadway on the East Coast of the United States.

The disparagement of a group of musicians did not lower the expectations of the pot secrets, because this fact is too fresh to be seen.

In addition, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer of the "Phantom of the Opera" musical, did not give Guo Xu a bad review, he was invited to Houston All-Star Weekend, and would sit in the front row to watch the musical and comment on it after the performance.

Andrew said in an interview that he believed that Guo Xu could play the "Phantom" well, and his voice was excellent. In fact, it is because Guo Xu is half British and Andrew, England, is from London, England, so it is more pleasing to the eye. In the UK, Guo Xu also has a high popularity.

On the plane, everyone didn't talk about musicals, but ate food, drank drinks and talked about movies, and the topic revolved around Meghan.

Meghan also recently had good news that she is going to play the heroine of the live-action version of Paramount's "Transformers". Filming started at the end of May this year, almost at the same time as "Inception", and the expected release time is 2007.

After DreamWorks was acquired by Paramount, Michael Bay was still reused, and there was really no one more suitable to be a director than him for this kind of film that needs a lot of explosions.

The crew paid Meghan $3 million, hoping to use her popularity to attract young audiences to the theater.

3 million is not high, because Meghan has already monoclonally resisted the box office in the movie "Happy Death Day", and the whole story revolves around her, and her acting skills have been recognized for the first time.

Meghan is younger and prettier than the original heroine Jessica Rod, and there is also a popularity bonus, which increases the box office of the movie. The movie was released at the end of December, with a North American box office of 88 million and a global box office of 160 million, which was fiercer than "Saw 1" that year. That little investment in the film is negligible.

Now many people have the illusion that as long as Meghan appears in the movie, the box office will definitely explode, her two starring movies are big hits, and she also played a supporting female star in "Fatal ID", which is also a high-box office movie.

If Megan went to shoot something else, the salary would be higher, and there were a lot of crews invited to her, Guo Xu pushed it as soon as he saw the plot synopsis, and he didn't remember it, which proved that he was not very famous in his previous life, and it was a bad movie.

He asked Meghan to wait for Paramount to come with peace of mind, and sure enough, Michael Bay remembered the agreement with him as soon as he had a new film, the price of 3 million was acceptable to everyone, and no matter how high the crew was, they would not want to, so they had to save money to do special effects.

Paramount feels that the 3 million signing of Megan is worth it, and the protagonist's car has been determined to be a Chevrolet Camaro at the time of filming, and Megan and Guo Xu are driving this model, and Chevrolet also hopes that she will star and be the best spokesperson.

The protagonist of this sci-fi movie is a robot, and Meghan was paid 10-200,000 yuan in her previous life. Now the situation is different, even without Guo Xu's relationship, she also has a coffee position in Hollywood. Among the post-80s actresses, in terms of box office and popularity, she is now almost recognized by fans as the "second sister".

Megan's popularity is high in North America and even more so in China. Most Chinese fans don't know Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Lindsay Luo Han and others, but who doesn't know the vixen of Guo Xu's family? "Ahri" is a very popular cartoon image in China, and it is linked to Megan.

Meghan's fame in Hollywood must not be compared with Natalie Portman, who has a literary film and plays in the "Star Wars" series, that is the first sister of the post-80s. In addition, Meghan acted very well in her last movie, and she became the "second sister".

After signing the contract, Megan was very happy, and Guo Xu told her that this film must be hot, because many people will go to the movies for their feelings.

Feelings are also the reason why Guo Xu hopes that Megan will withdraw after filming two films, once the feelings are gone, "Transformers" will be a bad movie. What are the action scenes that Michael Bay filmed? Robots are always rolling around on the ground. The shape of the mad robot is also too ugly, and it has nothing to do with the animation at all.

On the plane, Xiella and Meghan chatted very speculatively, she intended to curry favor with Meghan, and the two got acquainted in Phoenix when Guo Xu went to play away.

After confirming that the two were just acting in a musical together and nothing else, Meghan was jealous.

Isn't it just a kiss on the face of a musical? I put up with it.

At least, Guo Xu has never had a scandal, nor has he been exposed by the media as having a lover......

After arriving in Houston, all the actors had two rehearsals together at the Toyota Center, and the main actors sang without soaring high notes, and rehearsed the plot.

On Friday, the two-and-a-half-month hyped drama of "Phantom of the Opera" will finally be staged at the Toyota Center.

The stadium was packed, fans entered the stadium early to wait, and before the opening, the staff deliberately emphasized some precautions. This is not a basketball game, and you have to wait for the end of the scene to be performed, and you must not applaud or make a loud noise after the actor sings two sentences, which will affect the whole performance.

As for the audience's dress, there are no special requirements, after all, this is an all-star weekend event, not Broadway, as long as you don't appear on the bottom line, wearing a pair of underwear and dancing awkwardly to interfere with free throws.

There are a lot of reporters from all over the world, and only a few can enter the venue to watch the performance, and there are not enough seats for the media, so most people can only wait outside for the press conference.

Whether the media wants to see Guo Xu create another miracle or see him make jokes, they all want to interview him.

David Stern and assistant Adam Silva are both satisfied with the result, no matter how Guo Xu sings and what the reputation of the performance is, the league has made a lot of money, which is equivalent to one more game, one more ticket sold and countless broadcast rights.

The only fly in the ointment is that the musical is not paused, cannot be on the billboard, and is not easy to advertise......
