Chapter 178: Martin and the Fans

In the North Hollywood apartment, Martin came back after styling, and when he entered, he pulled out a Coke from his box, smeared it with olive oil, and placed it on the windowsill facing the premiere theater.

Taking off his disposable gloves, Martin took out his phone and dialed Robert's.

In Atlanta, Robert said, "Understood, I'll do it." ”

Martin went downstairs, got into the Mercedes sedan parked in front of the apartment, and said to Bruce, "Go pick up Anne from the hotel." ”

Bruce drove and asked, "Does it really work?" ”

"It worked out a few times." Martin also sought a kind of psychological solace.

Similar to the worship of the God of Wealth in previous lives.

Arriving at the Hilton Hotel, as soon as Martin got out of the car, Laura walked out with Anne in full costume.

Martin hurried over to the car door and held on to the roof of the car for Anne to come to the door.

Her boyfriend took care of all these little things, and Anne saw them all in her eyes and smiled sweetly at Martin.

Wait for Martin to get in the car, and the Mercedes starts.

Laura pulled another car and followed.

Anne asked with concern, "How much does Warner Bros. expect to box office in the opening weekend?" ”

Martin looked very stressed: "$25 million!" ”

Anne clasped Martin's hand and encouraged, "I'm sure you can do it." ”

Martin nodded: "It depends on the box office in the first week." ”

Today's film screenings are fundamentally different from those before 2000, and the marketing strategy is to attract fans to the theater as early as possible, and the North American box office of most commercial films accounts for more than half of the first two weekends.

The premiere of "Eyes Across the Mountain" was held at the El Capitan Theater, and Rachel came over early in the morning with the core members of the fan group and received official lights, posters, banners and other cheering tools from Jessica and Emily.

Those who supported Anne Hathaway, Jessica and Rachel took the initiative to contact and send materials such as light signs.

In front of the red carpet, except for some horror movie fans, fans are mainly divided into three parts.

In addition to Martin and Anne, there is a large group - supporters of Wes Craven.

Beginning with 1983's "Ghost Street", for more than two decades, Wes Craven's horror films have been a well-known gold sign throughout North America.

Therefore, this film includes the trailer that has been released, as well as some posters, and the most eye-catching font is typed at the beginning: Wes Craven works.

Both the director Alexander Ajia and the actor Martin have no opinion on this and raise their hands in support.

When Craven, the cool old man, was the first to walk the red carpet, a tsunami of cheers erupted at the entrance of the theater.

Angelina Jolie came over to cheer.

When Mene walked on the red carpet, a large number of people called him for autographs, and when Uncle Mene passed, he found that his supporters were basically over forty years old.

The people who walked on the red carpet almost shocked the media reporters and fans.

Paris Hilton reappeared in public after a brief hibernation.

After experiencing prison and Kim Kardashian's betrayal, Paris seems to have mastered the traffic password, did not stop on the red carpet for long, and quickly caught up with Mene in front, insisting on pulling Mene to take a group photo together.

The men were numb: "What are you going to do?" ”

Paris whispered, "Take a picture with me and come back to me to get the check." ”

Mene immediately changed his face: "No problem, how do you want me to cooperate?" ”

The two men made a stop in the media area, and the reporters almost rioted.

Paris is no longer as manic as she used to be, and makes Mene laugh at the camera with her around her waist.

At the front of the red carpet, there was an even louder shout.

A black sedan pulled up in front of the carpet, Martin took Anne from the car, and the two walked onto the red carpet holding hands.

Unlike the wax museum premiere, this time Martin is the absolute protagonist.

On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of fans held up his posters and signs with his name written on them, constantly calling him by name.

Martin dragged Anne over, signed autographs for fans along the way, and even met fans' requests for group photos.

Bruce kept following, his eyes constantly scanning the fans, looking for any danger.

With Annie's blessing, the fans are so enthusiastic that it is not a good idea for Martin to get out rashly.

He and Bruce had already consulted.

Bruce said to the neckline Mike, and immediately four security personnel came over and told Martin to hurry back to the red carpet on the grounds of safety.

Martin still enthusiastically signed autographs for fans until he was forced to leave by the security guards.

Two security guards even had to hold Martin's arm.

"Martin really cares about us!"

Seeing all this, fans burst into tears, and a female fan took the lead in shouting: "Martin, go back, don't delay business." ”

Many fans echoed it.

The movie stars who support it do it to this extent, what else can they say, and what else is not satisfied?

Jessica, who was in the middle of the crowd, suddenly shouted, "I'm going to buy five tickets to support Martin!" I want to support Martin! ”

Other fans agreed.

"That's right! I'm going to repeat it three times. ”

"As long as the film is good, I will watch it five times."

Few people noticed Jessica, who was the first to shout, and similar emotions spread quickly through the crowd, shouting one after another.

Among them, many people also say, the economy allows, and time may not allow.

But Emily took the DV camera, filmed it all, and uploaded it back to the Internet, which can always drive people's emotions to watch the movie.

Good movies naturally have good box office?

Many times, a movie is not as good as a commercial operation.

As Martin walked across the red carpet and into the media area, Jessica and Emily beckoned Rachel to leave quickly.

The two entered the theater through the side door, came to the reserved office on the second floor, opened the laptop they brought, and immediately uploaded the photos and some videos taken at the scene to the Internet, especially the decryption website.

Unlike Warner Bros. and the crew's publicists, they are completely centered on Martin.

Martin and Anne, who were interviewed in the media area, came to the theater's lounge and waited for a later entrance.

There are a lot of guests gathered here.

Sophia and Vincent also came, and the former's burly figure attracted frequent attention.

She approached her, looked at Anne slightly, and asked Martin, "Is this your new girlfriend?" ”

"Anne Hathaway." Martin introduced Sophia: "My friend in Atlanta, Sophia. ”

Sophia laughed and shook Anne's hand.

Anne only thought that the woman's hands were as hard as stones.

Martin was worried that Sophia was talking nonsense, so he pointed behind him and sold the old cloth without hesitation: "Bruce is over there." ”

Sophia lost interest in anything else and walked briskly towards Bruce.

Martin believes that Bruce will not fall.

Anne leaned over and whispered, "How do you feel like she's not a good person." ”

Martin, of course, won't be honest: "She's a fitness freak, she's got no fat on her body, she looks a little scary, but she's actually a good person." ”

Scott can definitely attest to that.

"Hi Martin." Wu Maoting came over to say hello.

His daughter U Thant was like an ordinary little girl, staring at Martin adoringly: "You are shining today." ”

Martin subtly turned to Anne: "Do you hear that?" Miss Wu is complimenting you. ”

Anne had thoroughly recognized Martin and was very cooperative, taking the initiative to shake hands with U Thant.

"I visited Pacific Pictures, visited Warner Bros., and talked to several executives from Warner Bros., and the situation is even better than said, thank you for giving me such an investment opportunity," Wu said. ”

Martin was not polite at all: "Mr. Wu, can I ask for a little thank-you gift?" ”

Wu Maoting said in his heart that these Westerners really don't know how to be modest, but said with a smile on his face: "Just say, as long as I can do it." ”

Martin said, "Can you sell me a batch of jadeite at a fair price?" ”

It turned out to be this little thing! Wu Maoting's good impression of Martin returned: "I'll ask someone to bring you a list when I go back, and you can pick it." ”

When the two left, Anne whispered, "Jade?" I think I've heard of it. ”

Martin said simply: "A kind of Oriental precious jewelry. ”

"Jewelry?" Anne's mind immediately came to life, is the jewel finally coming?

Jewelry is coming, are luxury cars and mansions still far away?

Wes Craven came over at this time and dragged Martin to meet several media people, mainly people from the film critic world, including "Los Angeles Times columnist Kenneth Turan", "Hollywood reporter" chief film critic Todd McCarthy, "Variety" Courtney Howard.

These people are all members of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

Martin greeted them politely and chatted warmly for a while.

Stars need to be touted by the media and critics.

As he was leaving, Martin asked Craven, "Shall I give them a little gift?" ”

Craven shook his head: "No, the crew has already prepared." He reminded Martin: "If you win the prize in the future, you will first find critics in Los Angeles and New York, where nearly seventy percent of the members of the academy live." ”

Martin asked tentatively, "They?" ”

CrΓ©mond White Martin meant: "Most of the time they emphasize fairness and justice. But all the industries surrounding Hollywood are all commercial activities. ”

Martin then sees Mane and finds that Mane is being led by Paris Hilton and socializing everywhere.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he took a chance to go over and ask.

Mene said with a bitter face: "Boss Martin, she gave too much!" ”

Knowing that he has been under a lot of financial pressure lately, Martin encouraged: "Go ahead and try to make more." ”

It's hard to make money.

In the El Capitan Theater, a large number of spectators entered one after another.

Ted entered with nine other lucky spectators, and the seating position was exactly in the middle row.

The theater, which can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, is full except for the first few rows.

Although it is not a peak season such as summer and holiday files, it still attracts a large number of people.

Then the guests and people from the media circle entered.

To a round of applause, Wes Craven and Alexander Ajia entered the theater with the main creative crew of the show.

Among the actors in the crew, Martin is the only one who can really be called a star.

After a brief media interview, "Eyes Across the Mountain" officially began to premiere.
