Chapter 692: I Have Few Friends
The premiere date of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was finally set for mid-May, after Memorial Day in North America.
Although Charlotte made a lot of adjustments to the special effects scenes and music of the movie after the preview screening, it was completed in time after a lot of manpower was transferred from the crew of "The Lord of the Rings 1".
-- Disney Studios chairman Robert Iger's worst feared ticket bounce incident did not happen.
In fact, by now, Robert Iger has long since stopped worrying about "Pirates of the Caribbean".
On the one hand, the wood is already in the boat, whether it is success or failure, what they should do has been done, and the rest can only pray;
On the other hand, the pre-sale results of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are still very good-
Thirty-two million!
- As an original movie that is not a sequel, and there are no big stars other than Johnny Depp, this kind of pre-sale results is already quite exaggerated.
Of course, this may not be comparable to the pre-sale results of sequels to super IP movies such as "Star Wars", but it is also quite good.
This achievement is on the one hand a reflection of Charlotte's box office appeal as a director, and on the other hand, it is also the result of Disney's promotion.
- With this pre-sale box office as a base, Robert Iger feels that the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not be too bad, if not ideal.
So, by now, Egger's mentality has been relatively relaxed.
In contrast, Disney President Michael Eisner has a mixed mindset about Pirates of the Caribbean.
As the head of Disney, he not only hopes that his company's main movie can be successful, but also feels that once the film is successful at the box office, it will prove that he is worse than the price in terms of his vision for watching movies.
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have allowed Egger to use this to spread the word!"
Disney's "tyrant" secretly regretted it.
In short, whether the people concerned are looking forward to it or worrying, the premiere date of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still unstoppable.
On this day, movie theaters across North America are transformed into ports in Pirates of the Caribbean – a very common way to decorate movie theaters in a way that matches the style of current blockbuster movies.
And in front of these movie theaters, it is not surprising that there are long queues again.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people!"
Penny sighed, suddenly feeling that it was a mistake to agree to accompany Leonard to the premiere,
"With so many people, I don't know when it will be our turn!"
"It shouldn't take long!"
Leonard was also a little unsure,
"However, if you watch the trailer, the movie will be very good!
"Okay!"
Penny nodded,
"Sally's husband's movie should be as good as ever!"
Petunia comforted herself.
As a friend Charlize made before he became famous, Penny actually got a lot of care -
Charlize has introduced several crews to Penny, all of whom are more important roles.
However, after Penny's performance, the response was always tepid.
Sometimes, even if her performance is good, in the end, the audience can't remember her.
- In this world, there is such a kind of person, who obviously has good resources and innate conditions, and he works hard, but he just can't become popular.
- Penny thinks she's that kind of person.
So, now, Penny no longer asks Charlize to help him introduce the character to herself.
Even, she simply gave up her dream of stardom and began to work in drug sales in a down-to-earth manner.
This has made her earn a lot of money.
However, she did not cut off contact with Charlize because of this.
However, because of the different industries they are in, there is no direct interest connection, and the friendship between the two is more pure.
At least, Penny used to be reluctant to go to the movies starring Charlize in person because of the entanglement in her heart, but now this problem no longer exists.
And for Charlize's husband, the film of the great director Charlotte Booth, Penny is also a treasure.
In fact, Penny has become a fan of Charlotte.
She once begged Charlize to take her and Leonard to visit the scene of Charlotte's film.
Although Penny didn't talk to the director directly in order not to disturb the other party's work, Charlize still helped Penny get Charlotte Booth's autograph afterwards.
- You know, unlike celebrities, Charlotte, as a director, is essentially a behind-the-scenes worker, so he doesn't have many opportunities to give fans autographs.
- I'm proud to have his autograph.
It's a pity that for the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time, Penny originally had work to do, so she gave away the tickets for the premiere given by Charlize.
As a result, the job was cancelled, and her boyfriend Leonard asked her to watch the movie, and she came.
- As a result, you were greeted by a long queue......
In contrast, the situation on Emily and Gianna's side is much better-
Because they have not yet graduated from Stanford, the two beautiful girls have relatively plenty of time.
At the very least, there is still time to come early and queue up for the premiere of the movie.
Although there are no flower messengers, two young and beautiful girls go to a midnight movie or something, which is a bit dangerous in a city like Los Angeles.
But on the one hand, Emily's fighting power is indeed strong;
On the other hand, the two came directly by car this time.
- To celebrate Emily's internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Emily's dad gave her a second-hand Beetle that looks very good.
The bright yellow body is very much in line with the girl's aesthetic, and there is a cute wasp ornament hanging in the car.
Emily has been driving this car everywhere she has been lately.
- With a car, many dangerous places can be avoided directly.
Anyway, that's what Gianna thinks.
What's more, she also has a hidden means -
She is able to instantly entice an adult male, causing him to fall asleep.
Although it is only once in seven days, it is enough for the critical moment.
- This is the ability that Gianna has gained from the main god space after becoming a reincarnator and going through several crises.
There are many magical abilities in that space, but only a handful can be brought back to reality.
But even so, Gianna had the feeling that she was a superhero.
- Every American teenager has a superhero dream hidden in his heart!
However, due to the secrecy of the main god, Gianna was never able to tell Emily about it.
However, she is still very confident that she can protect Emily at a critical moment.
- Although the two usually like to quarrel, it has always been Emily who is fierce to protect her who likes to provoke trouble......
