Warner TV, "The Helen Show" studio.

For the promotion of "The Martian", Martin is ready to appear on a talk show.

As an old friend who experienced the Burbank Middle School incident together, Helen came to Martin's dressing room before the show started.

She discovers that it is not the agent Thomas who accompanies Martin, but Leonardo!

"What is this?" Helen didn't understand.

Martin shrugged: "The content of the communication remains the same, the content that Jessica came to communicate with you was originally formulated by Leo." “

Leonardo smiled at Helen: "Isn't it very creative?" ”

Thinking of Martin's resume in Atlanta, Helen nodded: "Martin is really not easy. ”

"There are too many people like me in the United States, but no one is paying attention," Martin said. ”

The stylist brought a dress at this time, Leonardo looked at it, and said, "No, this one is too extravagant and doesn't fit today's theme." ”

It is not easy for Helen to invite these two at the same time on one show.

Seeing that Martin didn't express an opinion, she simply didn't say anything.

Leonardo went to the hanger full of clothes, rummaged through it, found the most ordinary outfit, and said to Martin: "I think this one fits." ”

Martin looked at the normal jacket and said, "Yes." ”

Helen beckoned to the two: "I won't disturb you, I'll see you on the stage later." ”

Leonardo came up behind Martin, looked in the mirror, and said to the hairstylist: "Don't have your hair so neat, a little messy, and stay at home." ”

Seeing Martin's nod, the hairstylist hurriedly straightened his hair.

After Leonardo looked at it carefully, he still felt that something was missing, he pondered for a while with his hands on his chest, thought about it, and said: "Dark circles, lack of dark circles!" Add two dark circles to Martin......"

Martin directly rushed to the back and raised his middle finger: "I'm not the poisonous insect like Depp!" Leo, can you be reliable in your plan to sell miserably? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm too deep in the play." That being said, Leonardo, the bastard, was not embarrassed at all: "Don't have dark circles under your eyes." ”

Martin got up and changed his clothes.

Seeing that he was a little lax, Leonardo admonished, "Man, tighten up! We are paving the way for the Oscar for Best Actor, not going out to make people, I don't understand. ”

Martin could only nod his head again and again, he was indeed foreshadowing, paving the way for the real plan.

Leonardo was very uneasy about him: "Look at your current mental state, just rush for the award with your current attitude, you still have to run for ten years!" ”

Martin frowned slightly, why is this so familiar?

Leonardo sighed: "Hey, you have to be serious about acting, and you have to be serious about publicity and public relations, do you know why you want to sell miserably?" Because most of those old white men like Jack and Warren are from the bottom, and you, who are also from the bottom, as long as you sell well, it is easy to win their empathy. ”

Martin gave him a thumbs up: "Leo, you deserve to be an Oscar expert." ”

"Of course!" Leonardo deliberately said: "So, I have an Oscar for Best Actor, you don't." ”

Martin covered his face, unable to refute it.

What a bastard!

Around the clock, a director came over and reminded Martin that it was time to play.

Ten minutes later, Martin sat on stage on the stage and talked to Helen about "The Martian" and Atlanta.

These resumes don't need to be faked, Helen is also cooperative, Martin just needs to answer according to the truth.

When he was young, he was a bastard, his parents were drunk and drug-addicted, his mother was in a car accident and hung up, his father took all the family's property and ran away.

"The Martian" is currently being screened, and after this episode of "The Helen Show" was broadcast, the response was excellent.

"It's really not easy for Martin to get out of that kind of muddy."

"It was such an inspiring experience!"

"There are heroes in the garbage heap, like Martin!"

In Davis' office, Nicholson looked up from behind his computer and smiled contentedly.

Although this melon is not as sweet and big as Emma Watson's, it is a melon of his own people, and it tastes unique.

He glanced at Leonardo: "Well done, it's a little interesting." ”

Martin exposed his old bottom: "Leo, this bastard, actually wants me to pretend to be a poisonous insect like Depp, I should really pour it into the concrete and sink into the sea." ”

Leonardo smiled: "It's miserable, you always have to take a full set." ”

Nicholson said to Martin: "You started the game about the same as I did back then, but you developed much faster than I did. ”

"The main thing is to have you as a signpost." Martin was not polite at all: "I have avoided all the pits you have stepped on." ”

Leonardo laughed, "What's the biggest pit Jack has ever stepped on?" ”

Martin said seriously: "Marlon Brando? ”

Nicholson said, "I want to gag your mouths with butter!" ”

Martin returned to the topic: "The matter of publicity here in Los Angeles, you two can look at it, if you need anything, go directly to the studio to find Jessica, I will run all over the world in the next period of time." ”

The North American reputation and box office of "The Martian" are all so good that they explode, and overseas distribution is about to begin.

Most of the main creative staff, including Martin and Ridley Scott, have to go all over the world for premieres.

Leonardo asked, "Is South Korea going too?" “

Martin nodded: "Of course, South Korea has always been Hollywood's box office market, and I will definitely go to Seoul for the premiere." ”

Compared to South Korea, Japan, which has a larger population, has a low recognition of Hollywood movies, and science fiction and superhero movies have been less popular there.

"You're so unrighteous!" Leonardo said angrily: "Throw me and Jack in Los Angeles to give you a prize, but you went to Seoul to open a silver party, are we still brothers?" ”

Nicholson said, "Remember to call me before you open the silver party!"

Leonardo was surprised: "You want Martin to broadcast it live to you?" Jack, don't you feel inferior after watching it? ”

Martin flatly refused: "I won't broadcast it to you." ”

Nicholson sneered repeatedly: "Who said I wanted to watch Martin's bastard live?" I'm going to call the police and report it to the Korean police! ”

Martin disdainful: "You are envious, jealous and hateful!" ”

Leonardo said: "We are waiting for your call, if you talk about brotherly righteousness......"

Martin replied, "Let's talk about this matter again." ”

Leonardo and Nicholson left satisfied.

The next morning, Martin joined the crew and took a charter flight to London to start his trip to Europe.

This time, there are a total of five premieres in Europe, namely London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Berlin.

Then there was the trip to East Asia.

The focus is naturally on South Korea, and the box office share of Hollywood films in South Korea is not much different from that of North America.

On Thursday, the Thanksgiving holiday came, and the crew did not return to North America.

On this day, the North American box office skyrocketed.

"The Martian" earned $26.87 million in a single day, and in the following five, six, seven days, another $46.56 million, with a total of $197 million at the North American box office.

Even so, the film has not achieved consecutive North American box office titles.

"Twilight" has come to the end of the trailer, and the fourth "Breaking Dawn" came forward before Thanksgiving, ending the possibility of "The Martian" winning streak with a $138 million opening result.

The impact and appeal of popular sequel movies is not generally strong.

But "The Martian", which earned $197 million in ten days of release in North America, is still dazzling.

The film received an enthusiastic response overseas and set off a wave of movie-watching craze.

The UK received nearly $10 million in the opening weekend, France had $8.1 million and Spain more than $5 million......

After this week, the global box office of "The Martian" easily exceeded $300 million.

Hollywood's box office markets such as Latin America, East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia will be screened one after another.

As hot as the box office is the peripherals of the film.

In just ten days, North America sold $36.8 million in peripheral products, mainly Martin's character peripherals.

Using the merchandise of Martin's image rights, Martin can get half of the profit as a share.

This film is bound to set a new record for Martin's single revenue as an actor.

After leaving Europe, the crew of "The Martian" went straight to East Asia and came to Seoul in the new week.

Samsung Group, as a sponsor of the film, warmly received the crew.

After the premiere of the crew, a large-scale reception party was organized.

When the main creators of the show, including Martin and Ridley Scott, entered the ballroom, their eyes were glazed over.

Nearly 100 Korean actresses, models and trainees gathered here.

Although some people's faces are difficult to distinguish, they have a variety of temperament styles.

The aesthetics of the chaebol The chaebol's control over them is beyond doubt.

Martin easily blended in, chatting and laughing with the women around him.

One of them, named Clara, was in excellent shape, and Martin talked to her a little more.

After a while, Ridley Scott came over and said, "I had a sudden episode of face blindness. ”

Martin looked around and said, "I'm just like you, I'm about to have a seizure." ”

Ridley's face was tired: "I'm old, I can't play these things anymore, I'll leave first, and I'll have to fly early tomorrow morning." ”

Martin said: "Let's leave together. ”

Although he bragged to Leonardo and Nicholson before he came, Martin is still relatively restrained in a place like Seoul, which is not Los Angeles after all, and it is too easy to be manipulated.

The stick is a dog, and from time to time it will bare its teeth.

Martin used the upper bathroom as an excuse to sneak out of the ballroom with Ridley.

Clara noticed, hurried over, and volunteered to give Martin her contact information.

In the face of such enthusiasm, Martin put it away.

Clara was afraid that Martin would forget him, so she said: "You go back to Los Angeles, if you have a useful time, you can call this phone at any time, and I will take a flight to the United States immediately." ”

Martin put away his business card: "Maybe we'll meet again." ”

Ridley followed Martin upstairs and said as he went, "When I was younger, I was as popular as you. ”

Martin believes: "Because you're a director!" ”
