Chapter 185: The industry is getting more and more rolled
As soon as the video leaked, Martin and Anne immediately held a press conference, and the latter's assistant Laura cried bitterly in front of the camera, crying that she accidentally lost the USB drive, hoping that the person who picked it up would take the initiative to return it.
The spokesperson for the two temporary hires called on the media not to broadcast such ill-sourced private videos, and reserved the right to prosecute relevant parties, among other things.
Martin also posted on his blog, asking media outlets not to let personal privacy occupy public resources.
Get the posture right.
A large number of netizens crowded his blog area to leave various comments.
Regardless of black or red, it has attracted countless eyeballs.
At one point, Martin's blog was so crowded that it went down.
How is it possible for the entertainment media to heed the appeal, the louder the appeal, the more happy they are to spread it.
In just over a day, Martin and Anne's selfie rushed to the top of Google's search keyword.
People have an inexplicable desire for knowledge about forbidden things.
Especially celebrity privacy.
Many people who didn't know Martin before also knew Martin through the "Gate Incident", as well as the ongoing "Eyes Across the Mountain".
Martin and Anne had quite a few die-hard supporters, with some "spontaneously" organizing to protest at the doors of media companies that repeatedly broadcast selfie videos.
Correspondingly, there is another wave of news and traffic.
A large number of passers-by and audiences walked into the theater and generously donated money for "Eyes Across the Mountain".
In a short period of time, Martin's attention is comparable to that of a Hollywood superstar's new film.
As long as a small part of it is converted into the box office, all the beneficiaries, including him, can laugh.
Martin then gave interviews to a number of television stations, calling for the privacy of celebrities, which was echoed by many celebrities.
Selfie Door marketing investment is limited, but the results are amazing.
This event could even change the industry.
After Paris Hilton, further proof that another path can go viral.
A small number of celebrities with a particularly keen sense of smell are also aware of this.
…………
Every Halloween, Valentine's Day and other holidays, celebrities and even dignitaries will come out to show off and attract attention to show their presence.
Although Xiu En's love dies quickly, there are always a large number of celebrities rushing to show.
"The Enemy of Love" was released on Valentine's Day, and the actor Will Smith also gave a gift to his wife Jada, and asked the crew to shoot it and distribute it to various entertainment media, wanting to grab the entertainment headlines and grab another wave of popularity before the release.
But there are few followers, and the eyes of all the people who eat melons are stolen by the so-called selfie door video.
In terms of fame, Martin and Anne are far worse than the Will Smiths.
But it can't stop the gossip enthusiasm of the people who eat melons and the strong desire to peek into the privacy of celebrities.
In the living room of the mansion, Jada Smith changed several entertainment stations one after another, quite helplessly: "It's all about reporting on Martin Davis and Anne Hathaway's." ”
She looked at Will Smith on the other side: "Two little stars have stolen the limelight from us. ”
Will shook two swaying ears: "It's not us, they steal the limelight from everyone on Valentine's Day." ”
Jada is not an open-minded person, and couldn't help but say: "Why didn't it break out ML videos!" ”
Will is quite smart among blacks, and has worked hard in the circle for many years, so it is not difficult to see the problem: "It is likely that it was deliberately released, and "Eyes Across the Mountain" starring Martin is being released. ”
Jada was surprised: "Deliberately released? They don't even have their faces! What a dog man and a woman! ”
She took the laptop next to her, opened the web browser, and Martin and Annie's selfie door ranked first in Google's hot search keywords, and you can see related videos when you click on them.
After watching it carefully, Jada thinks that what her husband said is very reasonable: "There are no dew point shots, all the talk is "Eyes Across the Mountain", and the popularity is deceived under the guise of being afraid......"
Thinking of the news released at the same time, it was a little guy who stole the limelight, Will Smith scolded: "It's crazy! The industry is getting more and more difficult to mix, and these new emerging people dare to use any bad means! ”
As he spoke, he unconsciously looked at Jada, and when he couldn't stand the popularity in the future, should he ......
Jada had an indescribable tacit understanding with him, and stood up: "Bastard, don't even think about it!" ”
Will Smith knows that people can't be popular forever, and there will always be a day when they are unlucky.
At that time, we must find another way to attract attention.
Jada is disgusted with tapes?
Will suddenly came up with an idea, what about an open marriage with Jada? Think about it, the two sit on a talk show, and they don't even need a host, and they talk about their open marriage careers "openly and honestly", as well as their respective start-ups, and the media and the public must go crazy about it.
As a star, it doesn't matter what your face is.
Look at what Martin Davis did as a little guy, as an old man in the circle, Will Smith admires it a little.
This year's Valentine's Day is different from the past, in addition to traditional romance movies, many people choose to watch the horror action movie "Eyes Across the Mountain".
Will Smith's appeal is undoubted, and the emperor of this year is synonymous with the box office.
"The Enemy of Love" received a box office of $43.14 million over the three days of Valentine's Day weekend in North America, with a score of A from the CS live audience, and a box office estimate of $170 million in North America.
While winning the box office top, one thing is fully proven.
Your Emperor Shi, infinitely rampant!
"Eyes from the Mountain" unexpectedly slipped to second place at the box office, but under the strong stimulus of the midweek selfie-gate incident, there was no box office slump the following week that horror films usually have, and the decline was controlled within 50% the next weekend, spending Valentine's Day with $18.1 million.
Counting the previous four working days, the North American box office accumulated $59.11 million.
Warner Bros. immediately negotiated a new distribution agreement with the theater chain, asking for an extension of the theatrical runtime of "Eyes on a Mountain" so that the North American box office could grind past the $100 million line in time.
Such a screening strategy will not bring more box office revenue to the distributor and producer.
But films that grossed more than 100 million in North America are treated completely differently in the TV and DVD markets.
In this era, the distribution companies at the top of the Hollywood industry chain distribute films not only at the box office, but with full copyright commissions.
In addition, it will take some time for the producer to get the publisher back.
"The return of money is related to the preparation of the "Wanted". Martin stood on the top floor of the North Hollywood apartment, admiring the downstairs like a big play, and said to Louise on the phone: "You urge more." ”
"Don't worry, with the investment agreement, we can use the money as security to go to the bank for a loan," Louise said. She added: "My people have communicated with Sophia and Vincent. ”
Martin is far worse than Louise when it comes to real project planning: "You think more comprehensively than I do. ”
Louise asked, "So, my Valentine's Day gift is a stone clown carved after you?" You have such a heart! ”
Martin recently put it bluntly: "That's the work of master carver Lily Carter, a masterpiece of art!" ”
"Good!" Louise couldn't help but laugh: "Lily Carter, a middle school student in Marietta, Atlanta, do you want me to bring her to Los Angeles?" Yes? ”
Martin then remembered that Louise and Kelly had mailed Lily a return gift.
I can't help it, there are a lot of gifts and letters sent out, and there are always times when my memory is confused.
Martin felt like he was going to take a new course – time management.
Louise said a few more words and hung up the phone.
Martin saw Bruce looking through the binoculars and asked, "Is there anything new?" ”
These two shameless rotten people, as if watching a play, observe the paparazzi surrounding the apartment, looking for fun in it.
Lao Bu pointed to the parking lot: "There are two paparazzi, a man and a woman, they may have each gotten some news, and they got into it in the car when they exchanged news, and now it's just over."
Martin picked up the binoculars and could only see the men and women who came out of the car sorting out their clothes, regretting that he had missed hundreds of millions, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”
He proposed: "We have security in the parking lot? Recently, there have been more paparazzi, and the waistband of the pants in this line of work is similar to that of an actor. ”
Bruce was helpless: "Are you addicted to candid photography?" ”
Martin deliberately said: "Actually, it's very interesting, you can try it with Kim." ”
Bruce didn't want to mention Kim, mainly when it came to Kim's sister, the rotten Martin was full of shit, thinking that he was a dignified and civilized person, how could he do those rotten ass things.
He asked Martin instead, "Aren't you going to put Anne's love to the test?" ”
"You're a little bit human, aren't you?" Martin scoffed at Bruce's inappropriate words and deeds: "It's just Valentine's Day, and you're going to let me sing Happy Breakup?" What about morality? What about quality? ”
Bruce didn't bother to refute, judging from his vision over the years, it was impossible for Anne to pass the test, and said: "Tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars of jade, in exchange for a box of chocolates of 99 US dollars." ”
"Send it, send it." Martin still has this kind of bearing: "Am I going to come back?" ”
The gifts he gave were all genuine.
For example, crocodile tooth pendants, horn carvings and stone carvings, there are never fakes.
After the box office was released in the first week, in order to show his sincerity, Wu Maoting directly took air transportation and sent a lot of jadeite, half sold and half given to Martin.
Martin was not polite and accepted it directly.
What was given to Anne Hathaway was one of the good jade plaques.
Martin asked Bruce, "You take two pieces and give them to Kim and her sister." ”
"I'm giving it to Kim." Bruce emphasized, "As for who Kim gives to, I don't care. ”
Martin's phone rang at this time, and he pulled it out to find that it was Angelina Jolie.
"Hi Angie." He answered the phone: "Why did you suddenly remember to call me." ”
Julie said: "I officially signed a contract with the crew of "Wanted", you are the initiator of the project, I want to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude. ”
Martin wonders, why did Julie ask him out of the blue? He replied, "No problem." ”
Bruce said, "You soak Julie, get rid of Annie, perfect." ”
Martin gave him a middle finger directly: "It won't be me who betrays this love." ”
