The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 319 The finishing touch
Bob Eagle went to the cinema not to watch the movie or to contribute to the box office, but to experience the atmosphere of the movie up close and gain an in-depth understanding of the general public's perception of the movie.

Normally, this work is left to the marketing department, which is a professional job; but now the situation is special, and there are many factions within Disney. If they hope to seize the opportunity to gain an advantage, they must do it themselves.

"Three 'Princess Diaries' pictures."

Bob naturally had his own considerations and brought his two daughters to watch the movie. Even if he was seen by reporters or there were rumors within the company, he could fight back openly without feeling guilty.

"Princess, princess is so beautiful!"

"It was the first time I saw such a beautiful actor, like a Barbie doll."

"Ah, ah, this is a perfect realization of my dream."

Chattering, after the previous screening, the girls started discussing with excitement, dancing and dancing to express their inner excitement and joy. This kind of scene is the most authentic feedback information.

Compared with those cold numbers or icons, the sense of reality is overwhelming.

Bob was not surprised by this——

The focus of success or failure in "The Princess Diaries" is Anne Hathaway.

Successful casting means half the success of the movie. Coupled with Julie Andrews' appeal, this laid the foundation for the movie's excellent box office performance.

However, this is not enough.

If this is the case, Disney has already been mentally prepared before the movie is released. To be precise, it has already targeted the market and formulated relevant strategies from the production stage, and the early publicity also centered around Annie. This is not enough to become the movie's first box office hit. The unexpected element of having a mini-orgasm.

If Disney wants to carry out follow-up promotion and publicity in a targeted manner and release as much energy as possible from the movie's box office, they need to seize this unexpected key.

"Oh, God, God, God, that's my Prince Charming."

"Prince Charming? Are you sure?"

"Of course, he is not a traditional Prince Charming, he is more like a knight, yes, the Knight of Flowers, but don't you think he is really too perfect?"

knight?

Bob was stunned and couldn't help but think of the figure at the premiere.

His name is... Anson Wood?

Judging from the planning, the love line of "Princess Diaries" has almost no sense of existence, and Michael's role is not even as good as Josh. He can only be seen as a piece of the puzzle of Disney's typical "perfect ending", and everything is a routine.

However, following the premiere, Bob heard Anson's name again.

Could it be that... Anson is this unknown factor?
After gathering his thoughts, Bob took his two daughters into the screening room to watch the movie, but his attention was not on the movie, but on carefully observing the audience's reactions.

Different from the premiere, these audiences are simply ordinary people who bought tickets to enter the venue. They will not worry about the media or the faces of the creative team. If they like it, they like it, and if they are bored, they are bored. There is no need to hide themselves.

What Bob needs is this truth.

What was very, very unexpected was that the scene with the most exclamations and sighs in the audience was actually the scene where Michael refused Mia’s prom invitation while wearing a mask. You could hear the sounds of heartbreak and the sighs of emotion. Those scenes The unmodified instinctive reaction made the entire screening room seem particularly lively.

The movie is over.

Ninety minutes went faster than expected, and the enjoyable time slipped through my fingertips quickly.

As I left the screening room and returned to the front hall of the cinema, I happened to see a group of young people preparing to buy tickets to enter the theater. I quickly captured the key points.

"...No, no, no, no 'Rush Hour', I heard the sequel this time is not good, let's watch 'Princess Diaries'!"

"Eh? I don't want it. It's for sixteen-year-olds. I'm already seventeen. I don't want to watch those childish Disney princess movies. For God's sake, we are past the age of believing in princesses. Okay?"

"I heard that 'Princess Diary' is just average, it doesn't seem to be very good." "Really? What I heard is different. This time the prince is particularly handsome."

"Prince? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"Leonardo-level prince. Do you remember the last time we saw him starring in 'Romeo and Juliet'? The fish tank scene? There is also this scene in 'Princess Diaries' this time, and he is no less handsome."

"Real or fake? Then 'Princess Diaries'."

The children who were shouting that they no longer believed in princesses at the age of seventeen one second were eagerly preparing to enter the screening room the next.

Unexpectedly, a voice cut in from the side.

"You'll like it, he's a knight."

Bob was a little surprised and looked at his daughter——

He divorced his ex-wife, and his two daughters lived with his ex-wife. In 1995, he formed a second family with a reporter. He gave birth to a child the year before last, and this year his wife is pregnant with a second child.

To some extent, Bob was not close to his two daughters. He was thinking about how he should ask his daughters for their opinions without them thinking that today's date was purely work, and then the opportunity arose.

Bob controlled himself and did not speak in a hurry.

The children looked over and said, "What did you say?"

Bob's two daughters spoke to each other and added.

"I said he was a knight, not a prince."

"The scene where he wears the mask is the scene where Leonardo is in the fish tank. Oh...I won't spoil it, but you will like it anyway."

Chirping, these young people gathered together for a heated discussion.

Bob didn't need to ask specifically, the answer was already there.

In fact, during the premiere, Bob had already noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, but he still had doubts and was not 100% sure; now it seems that Anson is the key to making the movie different.

It seems that their desperate attempt to increase investment in Anson's follow-up promotions unexpectedly turned out to be a stroke of genius and turned into the driving force behind the box office explosion of "The Princess Diaries" during its opening weekend.

Who would have thought that the highlight of "The Princess Diaries" would actually be Anson?
So next, in the head-to-head confrontation between "Princess Diaries" and "Rush Hour 2", how much more impetus can Anson inject into the movie?

No matter what, you need to give it a try before talking about it.

"dad."

His daughter's call brought Bob's attention back, and he quickly looked over with a smile, trying hard to show that he was not thinking about work.

"Anson, I mean the male protagonist of 'Princess Diaries', what is he like in real life?"

Bob:…

Although he wanted to extinguish his daughter's fantasies about actors, he simply couldn't imagine his daughter and Anson standing together. It could be seen from the day of the premiere that this Anson was not the type to follow the rules; but now is not the time, look. Seeing the crowds of people coming and going in the cinema hall, Bob regained his senses.

Taking a deep breath, "Full of charm, slightly different from the characters on the big screen." Bob smiled.

No one expected that "Princess Diaries" had already premiered, and Disney actually increased investment in publicity and launched a second round of publicity. And this time, it was another actor who appeared in front of everyone——

Anson Wood.
