Hollywood Drawing

"Comedy Central's The Daily Show, NBC's The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live, CBS's The Late Late Show, and Oprah Winfrey personally extended our fourth invitation to us. "The Oprah Show"..."

Listening to the assistant lady's report, Wayne sat on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his mouth and waving his hands tiredly. Since he doesn't have much time to stay in Los Angeles, it means that he doesn't have much time to participate in promoting the movie. Therefore, countless programs want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to invite him to the show.

As we all know, Wayne never likes to appear on various programs, let alone frequently accept exclusive interviews with the media. The only time when he is willing to appear and put on a show is during the promotion period before and after the release of his movie.

"Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair magazine, also hopes that you can take the time to accept an exclusive interview with them." Nina looked through a large pile of invitations and invitations in her hand, and looked up at her boss who looked slightly tired. , the corner of his mouth twitched a few times very unnaturally.

If other people saw Wayne Xianza's arrogant look, they would definitely be exhausted from the work at hand because of this "workaholic".

But recalling the inexplicable movements last night, Nina didn't see it that way. Naomi Watts went to New Zealand to film for several months. The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, obviously had a lot of fun. Coupled with her understanding of these two people, Nina has every reason to believe that her boss's pure indulgence has gone too far.

"Good morning, Nina, ha..."

At this moment, Naomi Watts was only wearing loose house clothes, covering her mouth and yawning as she walked down the stairs. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Hi Nami."

The assistant lady shrugged, and after seeing the lazy woman sitting next to her, she simply took off her shoes and curled up on the sofa, and had no choice but to tease: "It's almost 11 o'clock now, maybe you can consider enjoying lunch directly. You need me Tell Hela, do you want a glass of lemonade? That stuff is good for your throat..."

"Hmm, great suggestion..."

Facing Nina's teasing, Naomi Watts waved her hand lazily. Glancing at the equally sluggish man sitting opposite, the Australian girl rolled her eyes, obviously knowing that the two of them were too indulgent last night, and there was a high probability that Nina would hear those strange movements.

Picking up the invitation on the coffee table, Naomi Watts asked casually: "So many invitations? Hey, boy, you have become the star of the talk show, why are they all invitations of this type?"

Wayne exhaled a large cloud of smoke, leaned his upper body forward, picked up the coffee and sat back on the sofa. He said in a rather self-deprecating tone: "Because this kind of program is the most efficient, they know that I don't have much time to participate in promotions, so, The ones you see were all screened out by Warner Bros. and then screened by Nina."

One thing no one can deny is that the talk show column is the most watched TV program. During the movie promotion period, it is also one of the favorite platforms of film companies and one of the favorite promotion channels of celebrities.

Because of its very high efficiency and outstanding self-marketing attributes, it is deeply loved by most celebrities.

"The Daily Show, the Tonight Show, and Saturday Night Live?"

Looking through the invitations, Naomi Watts murmured in a low voice. "Damn it, Oprah that b***h still doesn't give up? How many times has this invited you to her show?"

"The fourth time, or the fifth time?" Nina shook her head. Even she knew very well that there was still a chance that her boss would appear on other talk shows, but "The Oprah Show" had no chance at all. , even if it is the most watched talk show in North America.

As we all know, more than 95% of the viewers of "The Oprah Show" are middle-aged women, which is not the main potential audience for Wayne's movies. Coupled with Oprah's special hosting style, Wayne was naturally not favored.

No matter what kind of celebrity you are, as long as you appear on "The Oprah Show", there will basically be a necessary process.

Oprah will first go through detailed preliminary investigations and use various means to reveal the most vulnerable scars of the guests on the show. Then in front of the live broadcast mirror

head, offering his "generous" hug, touching those guests who have just had their scars uncovered.

This set of clever tactics similar to the PUA style was played out by Oprah Winfrey and used in different ways for many years.

"What Bruce Rosenbloom is saying is that he wants you to consider The Daily Show."

Seeing Naomi Watts looking through these things, Nina ignored her and continued to look at Wayne, who was sitting opposite, and reported: "Time Warner and Viacom joined forces to acquire Comedy Central Channel , so it should be a Time Warner executive who said hello to Bruce Rosenblum."

"Actually, "Saturday Night Live" is not bad." Naomi Watts gently waved an invitation and said casually: ""Wonder Woman" should have good results today. If it can pass "Saturday Night Live" "Night Live" will promote it more and tomorrow's results will be more guaranteed."

Giving the Australian girl a fierce look, Wayne didn't answer her words, looked at the assistant and asked, "What do you think, Nina."

Who knew Nina suddenly smiled, stretched out her hand, clicked on the invitations on the coffee table, and said unexpectedly: "We didn't accept any of them, we pushed them all down."

"What?"

Naomi Watts' eyes widened, and she interjected doubtfully: "Why, the ratings of these programs are very high, and they are very useful for movie promotion..."

"Then let's push it all away." Before Nina could explain, Wayne simply nodded and said.

"ok."

Nina turned her head, stretched out her hand and pointed at Naomi Watts's eyes first, and then pointed at Wayne again, and explained: "Nami, hey, look here. The man opposite you is called Wayne Greenberg. Ge, you have to understand the meaning of this name.

That's right, many celebrities would never get a chance to be on these shows. But in reality, including "The Oprah Show", these programs are completely inconsistent with the boss's status. If you go on such a show now, you will only lose the boss's style. "

"What about movie promotion?"

"There are many other channels."

Naomi Watts and Wayne are so familiar that it is difficult to create a sense of distance between them. And because of Wayne, even if she joins the crew for filming, she will not be exposed to any nonsense at all.

For example, the filming of "King Kong" just ended. Even if the director of this film is Roland Emmerich, in fact, among the crew, the most unprovoked person is still the Australian girl. Even Roland Emmerich I know it very well in my heart.

Perhaps except for Naomi Watts herself, all the supervisors of all departments on the crew knew it very well. This movie, to put it bluntly, was tailor-made for her. Moreover, the funder father, screenwriter, behind-the-scenes producer, etc. are all the men standing behind her.

That is to say, they have been exposed to situations like this all year round, which made Naomi Watts completely ignore that Wayne's own status is already one of the top people in Hollywood.

He was a banner among Hollywood film directors in the 1990s, and he was also an important part of the behind-the-scenes capital. To put it bluntly but very realistically, he was no longer on the same level as those stars.

"Nami, even if the boss really needs to show off, he shouldn't be in a hurry at this time."

Nina's voice was always so calm and calm. She looked at the Australian girl and continued: "A rational analysis, will "Wonder Woman" lack popularity during its first weekend? In my opinion, Warner Bros.'s announcement The reason why the department sent so many invitations was just to give it a try.

Because in their announcement plan, they never considered letting the boss appear in a high-profile show in the early stage. In fact, everyone is waiting for the box office numbers of the first weekend. Only when the specific results come out can we decide what to do next. "

With her eyes widened, Naomi Watts looked at Nina and asked, "Are we waiting too?"

"Just wait, you can think of it as a rare two-day vacation."

As Nina said, everyone is waiting for the market performance of "Wonder Woman". The scale of investment in this film has never been a secret. It is a giant production of up to 200 million US dollars, which also means a huge return on investment. pressure.

According to a rough calculation, only when the global box office of "Wonder Woman" exceeds 600 million US dollars, Warner Bros. can barely recover its investment from the theater market. The result is that the box office performance on the first weekend is very important.

Only if the box office performance of the first weekend reaches the expected target will Warner Bros. be able to increase the promotional funds again and take advantage of the rare two-weekend gap to accelerate the harvest of box office figures.

And this is basically the most common business process. Warner Bros. is not a charitable company. Of course, it will only vigorously promote the publicity plan after seeing signs of making money.

The huge production cost of 200 million US dollars means that it is not enough to have a good first weekend performance. It must also ensure that the subsequent box office will not plummet. And at that time, it's time for Wayne to consider going on stage to show off.

After Saturday arrived, for a whole day, Warner Bros.'s own investigators, specially invited third-party investigation company employees, theater companies, and even other major Hollywood film companies were basically all staring at the "Wonder Woman" "Xia" attendance rate.

Various first-hand data are frequently sent via email, and the flagship theaters in major cities in North America are closely watched by all kinds of eyes.

At 6:30 on Saturday evening, at the AMC flagship theater located at the Times Square Theater in New York City, just after a performance of "Wonder Woman" ended, a sudden sound came from a screening hall on the second floor that could accommodate 1,200 people. There was a loud cheer.

At the end of the movie, to polite applause from the audience, the crew and creative staff of "Wonder Woman" walked out, led by producer Luke Simmons. Afterwards, the scene quickly fell into commotion.

This is a stop in the promotional activities of "Wonder Woman", and it is also the most ordinary road show. After the crew arrived in New York early in the morning, they didn't have any time to rest, and various activities have continued until now.

After the theater road show, there was a fan meeting waiting for everyone in Times Square outside. To be precise, waiting for Angelina Jolie.

In less than a day, Angelina Jolie completely became the most popular female star. Even their occasional appearance during the transition would attract a large number of passers-by.

The same is true tonight. Movie fans who have just watched a movie, and it can be said that their mood has not completely calmed down, after seeing the dazzling Angelina Jolie on the stage, could not hear any sound at the scene. Tsunami The same applause and shouts almost overturned the roof of the screening room.

Angelina Jolie is not a rookie either. She is basically used to the process of road shows. After the crowd gradually calmed down, under the on-site host's control of the atmosphere, she began to continuously share some interesting filming anecdotes and various short stories on and off the stage.

No matter where they go, these are what movie fans like to hear the most. If some ambiguous hints about Wayne can be added to these interesting things on and off the stage, the on-site effect will definitely not be bad.

The atmosphere at the scene was hot, but there was not much time left for the fans. In order to catch up with the next event, Angelina Jolie quickly started to interact with the fans under the hint of the host.

"Thank you, thank you for coming to support my movie."

While constantly signing posters, postcards, and notebooks, Angelina Jolie also tried her best to keep a smile, kept signing autographs for fans in the front row, and gave away some small gifts prepared by Warner Bros.

"Ms. Julie."

When a little white girl about six or seven years old appeared in front of her, something unexpected happened. After getting the mini Wonder Woman doll as a gift, the little girl did not leave. Instead, she raised her head with wide eyes and asked: "Sorry, Ms. Julie, didn't Wayne come with you? "

"Hi, girl."

Seeing the disappointed look in the little girl's eyes, Angelina Jolie knelt down and saw the girl's mother desperately gesturing behind the little girl to apologize.

She nodded slightly, and under the gaze of countless people, she asked with a smile: "Are you here specifically to wait for Wayne?"

"Yes, I thought he would show up."

The little girl looked a little disappointed. She looked at Angelina Zhu who was kneeling on the carpet with one leg.

Li, explained: "Today is the second "Wonder Woman" that my mother took me to watch, just to wait for you to come..."

At this point, the little girl burst into tears, and tears began to roll down her face uncontrollably.

"Hey, can you tell me your name?"

Angelina Jolie has long been used to facing various situations. She hugged the little girl gently, smiled and comforted:

"If you are willing to tell me your name and address, then I may bring you some special surprises in the near future. Do you like Wayne? Ha, we all like him. I will tell Wayne when I get back that she I chose not to come to New York this time, what a huge regret I missed..."

A burst of flash lights flashed at the scene, and the reporters took the picture in tacit understanding. There is no doubt that there is a high probability that this picture will become part of the subsequent publicity.

Faced with the sudden flash of light, the little girl was a little overwhelmed. She held a Wonder Woman doll and a copy of Time Magazine with Wayne's photo on it, and turned to look at her mother.

"Sorry, Ms. Julie."

The child's mother quickly calmed the little girl's emotions and explained a little awkwardly: "Sandy likes to watch "The Flash", and of course, she especially likes "Wonder Woman". You know, she is Wayne's A die-hard movie fan, he saved his pocket money for several months just to find a way to meet his idol..."

A touching story about fans supporting their idols. In fact, no one would take it to heart, including Angelina Jolie after the event. However, Luke Simmons, who had watched the whole process, found the mother and daughter again afterwards and had a long conversation with the little girl's mother.

At the same time, after the "Wonder Woman" crew finished their promotional activities in New York, they hurriedly boarded the plane early Sunday morning and rushed to the next big city of Miami.
