Today is not just Abel's first appearance at a Hollywood movie premiere.

It was also the first time he watched a Hollywood movie premiere.

Because it's the first time, there is also the heroine on the stage who is her own woman.

In addition, there are Michael Eisner and Robert Iger next to him, and they can whisper from time to time.

He watched it with relish.

The premiere ended quickly, and the movie began.

Anne returned to his side, and Robert Iger smiled and returned to his seat.

"Whew"

Anne exhaled and whispered in his ear:

"I'm under a lot of pressure right now."

Gary Marshall, the director, has long felt the pressure.

Anne, the heroine, is only a little late at this time.

Before Anne went on stage, she didn't feel anything.

After taking the stage, Anne looked at the exaggerated lineup below that looked like an Oscar gala.

This reminded Anne of the same concern that Gary Marshall had worried.

That is.

In case "The Princess Diaries" hits the box office.

So how much limelight will she make here today, and how much limelight will she make in the newspaper media tomorrow.

Two days later, the box office of the movie came out.

If the box office is not ideal, then her limelight now and tomorrow will all become a mockery!

The presence of these celebrities today will also nail her and "The Princess Diaries" to the pillar of shame!

So much so that now Anne regrets a little that she let Abel come with her.

She whispered to Abel about her concerns.

Abel actually doesn't know how much box office "The Princess Diaries" has won in parallel time and space.

He only remembered this movie, which made Anne Hathaway known to many Americans in a very short period of time.

began her road to popularity in a short period of time.

After becoming popular, it is the kind that is black, the kind that is caught by the Americans all over the Internet.

The other Abel really didn't know.

He had to comfort him softly:

"No big deal. Believe in yourself. Successful people will be slandered."

It's all happened, it's all come to this.

Anne's sanity also told her that it was useless to worry at this time.

Just look at tomorrow's first-day box office results, and the follow-up box office results.

If it's really bad at the box office, if you really want to be nailed to the pillar of shame-

The old lady simply quit the circle!

Anne Hathaway thought to herself.

But then she thought of the "Spider-Man" crew.

She has already got the role of MJ Gwen, a combination of MJ and Gwen.

If you quit the circle, then this role will be a pity.

If you scold badly, then wait until you finish playing Spider-Man and then quit the circle!

Anne Hathaway thought to herself.

And at this time, the movie "Princess Diaries" has already opened.

To be honest, Abel hadn't seen the movie.

Before he was reborn, he had seen several clips of some clips from the movie, as well as some stills of Anne in the movie.

Beauty is right.

After being reborn, he rarely watched movies.

He watched them act in front of him.

This kind of experience of being in the cinema with many people and watching movies together makes him have a little aftertaste.

He began to watch it earnestly.

The overall tone of the film "The Princess Diaries" is lighthearted.

Director Gary Marshall is himself a master of shooting modern urban light comedies.

"Pretty Woman", which made Julia Roberts popular in the United States, and "Runaway Bride", which completely established the status of a big-mouthed beauty, are the two most successful at the box office

City light comedy.

All are the work of Gary Marshall.

This "Princess Diaries" is Gary Marshall's second collaboration with Disney.

It's just that a new investor was inserted halfway, and AB Smith Entertainment came in.

Then Anne Hathaway had a higher status in the crew because of Abel.

Everything else is no different from in parallel time and space.

Therefore, the quality of the film is similar to that in parallel time and space.

The theme of "The Princess" can be traced back to at least the story of Cinderella and the Ugly Duck.

Gary Marshall and Disney moved the setting of this story to the old fairy tale color.

Its heroine is a 15-year-old urban teenager, and the standard audience of the film also came to the audience of this age at the beginning.

This is the age of dreams, and most middle schools dream of marrying a modern-day version of the king of horses, such as idol singers.

Perhaps some of them dare to imagine being a princess, but such dreams are limited to a brief period of time when they are intoxicated by erotic works.

"The Story of the Princess" transforms such an impossible dream into a reality of two times.

In the words of the movie, it is to win the "genetic super lottery".

Unlike others, Abel focuses on the content of the film, mainly Annie's dress in it.

He thought he would go home later, and asked Anne to bring back the princess costumes, student costumes, and so on.

Abel has already played The Lord of the Rings' Elf Princess.

He thinks it should be good to play the princess of the Kingdom of Genovia in "The Princess Diaries" today.

The 115-minute film was finished quickly.

When the list of behind-the-scenes production personnel came out, the audience burst into applause as usual.

"I'll wait for you outside." Abel stood up and said to Anne.

Abel knew that Anne was going on stage and was interviewed by the media along with the rest of the crew.

And Abel himself didn't want to stay here any longer.

He was going to leave and go outside first.

Anne knew this, of course, and she smiled and nodded.

Abel got up, and Robert Iger followed.

Michael Eisner didn't get up.

As the president of Disney, he had to go up and say a few words.

In addition, Abel is Robert Iger's boss.

Robert Iger followed his boss out and said okay.

Eisner, the chairman of Disney, also followed Abel out.

was photographed by the media, and it is estimated that there will be a misunderstanding outside that Abel is going to start attacking Disney.

Abel and Robert Iger left the Huaxia Theater through another small door.

When the two came to a quiet place, Abel said to Robert Egger:

"Robert, how much do you think this drama will gross?"

Robert Iger thought about it, and the CEO of MGM replied softly:

"This is a modern urban fairy tale comedy with a high degree of completion. Before tonight, I think it's going to be at least $100 million or more."

"But after tonight, I think it could grossing at least $200 million. But maybe the reputation will be a little lower."

Abel naturally understood the meaning of Robert Iger's words.

Robert This refers to this movie because of the appearance of Abel.

Michael Eisner made such a big battle.

There are so many big-name superstars to support, and the emergence of Abel, the king of traffic.

It will definitely make many potential viewers who are not the movie go to the cinema to watch it out of curiosity.

But most of the people in it don't like this kind of thing that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls like to see.

They can support the box office, but they will definitely lower their reputation.

"It doesn't matter." Abel said:

"Mainly

It's ourselves. Spider-Man is ready, right?"

"Hmm." Robert Iger replied softly.

Abel nodded and asked:

"And what about after Spider-Man? Although it hasn't been filmed yet, we should think about the rest of the story. Because I want to create a universe for MGM."

"The Universe?" Robert Iger was dumbfounded.

"A cinematic IP universe." Abel said:

"Based on Marvel, it involves a universe where many superheroes, including Spider-Man, appear together."

"Robert, have you ever read Marvel's Avengers comics?"

"Yes." Robert Iger said.

"It's almost like modifying the plot in the comics and moving it to the screen." Abel said.

"Of course. We need to take it step by step, and we can't move the entire Avengers out at once."

Robert Iger gradually understood what the boss meant.

「BOSS。」 Robert Iger said:

"According to your meaning, it is to move out Parker and other superheroes one by one. Wait until the situation is right, and then let them fit together and shoot the movie in the Avengers comics?"

"That's right. It's a whole Marvel Super Hero universe."

"Understood." Robert Iger wrote it down.

Later he would be at MGM and tell the boss what he wanted.

Abel looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he had a few more words with Robert Iger by the way.

"Follow this plan. Filming Spider-Man first, what about Spider-Man?" Abel said.

In fact, according to the meaning of Marvel and MGM executives.

If Spider-Man succeeds.

Then what MGM will shoot next is, of course, the second part of Spider-Man.

At the same time, if other Marvel heroes will be filmed.

There is a high probability that popular comic book heroes such as Thor will be chosen.

But the last time the boss was in the company, he expressed optimism about Tony Stark.

As his personal sole proprietorship, MGM's top management is not stupid.

They naturally focused on Spider-Man Part II and Iron Man, a superhero who was originally not highly ranked.

With Tony's character in the comics, it is impossible to copy it completely.

If it were to be copied, it would probably be an R-rated movie.

If you want Tony to appear glamorously on the screen, the character and plot must be changed.

After thinking about it, Robert Iger whispered the opinion of the Marvel editorial department to his boss:

"Behind Spider-Man, we're going to shoot Iron Man Tony Stark."

"But in terms of Tony's character, there may be some changes."

The character of Iron Man is based on Don Heck, one of the editors of Marvel, who designed the faces of Tony Stark and his secretary "Pepper" Pepper Potts.

Stan Lee, the father of Marvel, designed Stark's personality with reference to Howard Hughes, a famous genius in American history.

Howard Hughes was one of the most colorful figures of the last era in the United States.

This is an inventor, an adventurer, a billionaire, a playboy, and the prototype of Iron Man.

Abel also knew this, and he only made one suggestion:

"Before the filming of the movie, before the release of Spider-Man, Marvel could be allowed to publish a new Iron Man comic in advance. In the comics, the new Iron Man character is directly used."

This is also the practice of Marvel Studios in parallel time and space.

In parallel time and space.

Many Marvel fans can find that the early Iron Man comic book characters did not particularly bear a resemblance to Robert Downey Jr.

Later, after the release of Iron Man, Marvel's new Iron Man comic is completely Robert Downey Jr.

Other superhero comics are similar, and the following comics are in the service of the movie.

After all, comics can only make a few dollars, and comics that can't make much money must of course serve more profitable movies.

In the face of the boss's "advice", Robert Iger naturally said yes again and again.

Not to mention that what the boss said makes sense, it sounds like good advice.

Even if the boss's advice is gibberish, in the case of the boss being a sole proprietorship.

As long as it's not particularly excessive, Robert Iger and MGM executives will follow Abel's line.

With a wave of his hand, Abel asked Robert Iger to leave first. yushuB

Because Edward came over.

If nothing happened, Edward would normally be by his side, waiting for his orders.

If you can take the initiative to come over, there is a situation.

「BOSS。 We've sent a message from someone back home."

"Huh?" Able looked at Edward.

"After Miss Lauren had dinner at Smith Farm, she had left Smith Farm and left Tarrant County."

"Where did she go?"

Edward said, "She went to Arlington, to Mr. Smith Sr."

Able was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex come and go in three places throughout the year.

The longest stay was in Houston, followed by Austin, and then also in Arlington for a month or two.

Abel then commanded, "Keep watching."

Edward nodded yes, and the bodyguard captain handed over a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Abel took it.

Edward whispered:

"This is the result of Ms. Theron's examination. After multiple anonymities, we found a number of agencies. The results were all the same."

Abel immediately sat in the car, and by the reading light of the carriage, he looked at the paper in his hand.

This is a DNA test report.

The child in Charlize Theron's womb, which is eight weeks pregnant and can pass the blood test, is indeed Abel's.

In addition, under the inspection of high-tech means.

The child in Charlize Theron's womb also passed a blood test and was basically 99.999% identified as a girl.

"Whew"

Abel exhaled softly, he lowered the window and handed the inspection report to Edward outside.

"Tear it up, I already know the result."

Edward took it, and Abel stayed alone in the carriage quietly for more than ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the carriage was gently knocked.

Then Anne, with a smile on her bright face, sat in.

She laughed and said, "Looks pretty good! Everybody said it was going to be a good box office."

"Ha~" Abel reached out to hug her and whispered in her ear.

Anne's face immediately warmed up a little, and she gently pinched Abel without force.

"That's all you remember!" Anne muttered.

"Let's go." Abel smiled and said, "Let's go home first."

Soon after.
