Chapter 544: Box office suppression

Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!

Although it is clear that this is not the awards season, the film reviews of professional film critics and the actual market box office often have little relationship, but Natalie returned to the hotel and thought of being called a middle-aged aunt by some film critics. Unconsciously, when did her dignified Oscar actress turn into a passerby aunt? Can't compare to the little actor Kate Dailins? It's simply...

Natalie Portman made a decision in an instant, and must use his agent Martin Miller and the agency William Morris to put pressure on Marvel Pictures to prevent Kate Dailins from participating in the post-screening promotion of Thor. !

Until the early hours of the morning, Natalie Portman had just felt a little sleepy when the phone rang.

She resisted the impatience in her heart, glanced at the phone number, frowning, but still connected, "Is there anything wrong, Darren?"

The person who called was Darren Aronowski, the director of "Black Swan".

"Is the child okay?" A concerned voice sounded in the receiver.

"Child? Don't mention the child to me!" Natalie Portmanhoe stood up from the bed, "I said, that is my child with Benjamin Milleppe! It has nothing to do with you!"

She emphasized again, "That child is not yours!"

After speaking, Natalie Portman hung up the phone directly, but the last sentence had no confidence.

A few years ago, the conflict between her and Murphy Stanton directly affected her future. In order to change this situation, she ran back to Jerusalem to study, so as to please the Jewish forces in the circle, and finally walked back to the mainstream of Hollywood bit by bit. .

But Natalie Portman knows very well that in order to achieve the initial goals, she must win the Oscar for Best Actress. Under the planning of William Morris, she hooked up Darren Aronofsky. , Successfully won the heroine of "Black Swan", and let Darren Aronowski fascinated herself, saying something like "Black Swan" was prepared for Natalie Portman ten years ago Like advocating words.

This was extremely powerful for her award, but Natalie Portman discovered that Darren Aronowski hooked up with his friend Mila Kunis in the crew, and was in a relationship with Mila Kunis. At the same time, she used the ultimate ultimate move and successfully conceived a child, allowing Darren Aronowski to temporarily fall into control.

At the same time, she also caught up with the famous ballet master Benjamin Milleppe, not only let the other party advocate for her from a professional standpoint, the two also successfully got engaged to prevent pregnancy from becoming a scandal, but became a favorite of Oscar judges Tool of.

In the end, she defeated a lot of competitors and successfully crowned the Oscar queen.

Of course, Natalie Portman never admits this, even if there are many rumors in the circle.

Looking back now, she is very contented. The plan she made and successfully implemented by herself is perfect. If there is a suitable role that can impact the best actress of Oscar in the future, she can get pregnant again.

Those Oscar judges always have a good impression of pregnant women, but they don’t know that it’s never difficult for her to open her legs.

Thinking of her masterpiece, Natalie Portman is in a better mood. Compared to her own strategy for Olympics, Harvey Weinstein's public relations methods can definitely be said to be simple and rude, and without technical content.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang again, Natalie Portman picked it up and connected, listening to the people inside said a few words, the mood suddenly improved!

"What's the reputation of film critics?" Natalie Portman walked to the window and looked to the southern slope. "This is a summer commercial blockbuster. The only decisive factor is the box office!"

It was just a call from agent Martin Miller to inform her of the latest advance box office results. The precise statistics have not yet come out, but the rough numbers are already available.

The early box office of "Thor" is about 6.5 million US dollars, which is much higher than the 3.4 million US dollars of "City of Chaos", and the gap between the two parties is still very large.

Natalie Portman’s good mood was directly reflected on her face. She came to the wine cabinet with a smile and poured herself a glass of red wine. If she remembers well, let’s not say that "City of Chaos" compares with "Thor". Yes, even the early box office of "Fast and Furious 5" that was released last weekend can't match.

In addition to these, Martin Miller also told her a message that Walt Disney made a certain estimate of the performance of Thor in the first weekend in North America based on this advance box office performance. As long as there is no serious problem with the follow-up audience reputation, It is estimated that the box office of "Thor" will be around 28 million US dollars on the first day, and there is a great chance that the box office of the first weekend will reach 70 million US dollars!

According to this ratio, Natalie Portman also estimated the box office of the first weekend of "City of Chaos", and the number obtained made her smile.

35 million dollars! This is her most optimistic estimate, this new movie by Murphy Stanton...

With a production cost of 150 million U.S. dollars and only more than 30 million U.S. dollars at the box office in the first week, Murphy Stanton will definitely have a big deal.

In the queen-size bedroom on the top floor of Murphy’s luxurious apartment on the Upper East Side of New York, the poor Wonder Woman with arms outstretched and was hung from two hanging soft ropes. Screaming, the big devil standing behind her stopped sprinting.

Gal Gadot collapsed almost completely, leaning back on Murphy's body, and the waxed chest was exposed under the torn front of the battle armor.

"It's been a long time..." She turned her head and whispered in Murphy's ear, "It's been a long time since I was so happy."

Murphy lightly bit her white ear beads, "Would you like to try something else?"

Hearing this, Gal Gadot was a little tempted, but knew that his body had reached its limit now, and shook his head quickly, "No more tonight, let's wait for the next time."

She turned her head and glanced to the left. On the oak table on the left, the candle that was just used to cheer up was still burning. Under the light of the candle's fire, the other tools piled on the table exuded a kind of fear. The strange feeling that it itches again.

Gal Gadot knows very well that from the initial role-playing to the current tools to add to the fun, she not only did not reject, but gradually developed her body, and became more and more fond of these games.

Her eyes swept over a few balls, and she got goose bumps in an instant. Maybe you can try these plugs next time?

The two of them took a shower and it took a long time before they returned to normal. Gal Gadot ignored the hot feeling in his chest and didn't even wear clothes. So he sat at the computer desk, opened the notebook, and entered his own. In the mailbox, I just glanced at the latest email, the previous excitement disappeared without a trace, replaced by a slightly sad expression.

"What's the matter?" Murphy put a nightgown on her curvy body. "Is there bad news?"

"Very bad news."

Gal Gadot stepped a little so that Murphy could see the entire screen clearly, and said, "The North American early box office of "City of Chaos" was only $3.4 million, which was suppressed by "Thor"!"

Murphy took a look, not in a hurry, and then asked, "How about Thor? How many?"

"About 6.5 million US dollars!" Gal Gadot grabbed his straight long hair, "nearly twice as much as ours."

She is no longer an outsider, and has been in the film industry for a long time. Knowing such advance box office numbers, under normal circumstances means the box office of the first day of tomorrow and the box office of the first weekend of three days this weekend, the box office results of "Thor" It may be twice that of "City of Chaos", or even higher!

This kind of data is really not optimistic. If this situation develops, the first weekend box office of "City of Chaos" will definitely fail miserably!

But Murphy also knows very well that this situation is not unexpected, and it is also a true reaction between an original film and an adapted film based on the audience.

"Any other emails?" Murphy asked again.

Gal Gadot knew what Murphy was asking, and shook his head, "I haven't received it yet."

She checked the time and said, "Go to sleep first. I'll wait here. I will call you when the mail arrives."

"You better go to bed." Murphy looked at Gal Gadot's red chest. "You're exhausted. Rest early."

"I..." Gal Gadot bit his lower lip lightly, "I'm not tired. What I just did will only excite me."

The notification of the arrival of a new mail suddenly sounded, and Gal Gadot ignored Murphy, picked up the mouse, quickly moved the pointer, and clicked on the new mail sent by Twentieth Century Fox.

The e-mail was sent by Carla Firth. It was just obtained by Fox in the 20th century. It is a piece of data that can better reflect the market trend of a film.

Carla Firth clicked on the email and said to Murphy while reading it, "The latest CinemaScore statistics shows that the live audience rating of "City of Chaos" is'A+', and the public's satisfaction with the film in advance exceeds 9%. Ten! "Thor" was rated'B' by the audience in theaters, and only 66% of the early audiences thought this film was wonderful..."

Seeing this, the heart that Gal Gadot had just mentioned was relieved.

Murphy nodded lightly, and didn't say much. Because of the time, CinemaScore only has general statistics for the two films, and has not made a market forecast.

"According to the accuracy of CinemaScore's past predictions." Gal Gadot analyzed by himself, "Our film may not be as good as "Thor" in the early stage. After all, this is an adaptation of the work, but "Thor" should not have enough stamina! "

"Okay, go to sleep." Murphy pulled Gal Gadot up.

The two lay together, but didn't go to bed right away, especially Gal Gadot, leaning in Murphy's arms and flipping through the phone.

"It turns out that none of the above is false."

Looking at the unsightly descriptions above, she thought of herself, "Some people really like these games."

She propped up her body and asked Murphy, "You bought the copyright of this novel, don't you want to play it yourself?"
