Chapter 141： word of mouth

The premiere at the Great Theater of China ended, and "The Truman Show" kicked off its public screenings in mainstream theaters in many North American cities.

"Wow, it's Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Cage's new movie..."

Outside a movie theater in Philadelphia, Casey pointed to the movie poster in front of him and said to several companions: "What are you waiting for, we must support Ryan Gosling."

A golden girl showed a helpless look and said, "Okay, Casey, we know that you graduated from the University of Southern California, and you are from the same alma mater as Ryan Gosling, but I want to watch "Cut Throat Island" more. A really cool pirate movie."

"What did you say?" Casey raised her voice a notch, showing a trace of dissatisfaction on her face, and directly dragged a few companions into the movie theater and came to the window of the ticket office.

"Four, "The Truman Show", it should be earlier, we have to go to dinner later."

As for Cutthroat Island!

To **** with it.

As time went by, more and more people came to buy tickets, most of them came for "The Truman Show" and "Cut Throat Island".

In terms of the number of viewers in the first batch, "Cut Throat Island" is more popular than "The Truman Show".

This is also impossible. "Cutthroat Island" is a pirate action movie, which is naturally liked by young audiences in terms of genre.

However, the number of people who choose "The Truman Show" is not too small, and in addition to young people, there are many viewers in their 30s and 40s. Most of them saw "The Truman Show" through the advertisements on the Super Bowl. The World of Doors.

Soon, in the first few halls of the screening, some audiences came out one after another.

Now is the time to test the word-of-mouth of a movie. No matter what type of movie, word-of-mouth is the most important point. Sometimes word of mouth can make a movie a hit.

At the same time, investigative consultants from Paramount and MGM began to act.

"What? Cutthroat Island!"

"It's a waste of time. The rote plot is terrible."

"It's not one of the biggest bad movies I've ever seen."

"Raney Harlem, for wasting all pirate fans' expectations, he should have kissed those women's boots."

"Come on, I can barely watch it, but the heroine is a bit ugly."

The audience who came out of the screening hall of "Cutthroat Island" were all disappointed, thinking that the plot and actors of the film were terrible.

On the contrary, most of the audience who came out of the screening hall of "The Truman Show" expressed their support.

"A very good film, very innovative."

"It's not bad, it's just the style of the film, it doesn't look like it was shot by Ryan Gosling."

"The unexpected ending, definitely the best film of this Christmas."

"I need to watch it again."

A good word of mouth is obviously a very good start for "The Truman Show", at least it can let Paramount and Lucasfilm breathe a sigh of relief.

They don't have the confidence of Ryan. You must know that the production cost of "Cut Throat Island" has reached 98 million US dollars, which is a proper super first-line commercial production.

Even, according to the internal information obtained by Paramount, the production cost of "Cutthroat Island" is not the announced 98 million US dollars, but as high as 115 million US dollars, a figure that makes people dumbfounded.

Even for the recognized large-scale commercial production "Independence Day", the investment is only 75 million US dollars.

Until the investigation data of the first screening of the two films came out, the staff of Paramount and Lucasfilm finally showed a happy smile.

Many theater companies have decided to reduce the screening and screening rate of "Cutthroat Island" on a large scale starting tomorrow, and increase it to "The Truman Show".

It's not that the theater companies cheated, but the word-of-mouth of "Cut Throat Island" is really bad. Many viewers started to leave the show after seeing a third of it, and some even went to the cinema to ask for a refund.

Early the next morning, in the luxury suite of the Hilton Hotel, Monica Bellucci was wearing a woman's pajamas provided by the hotel, which still couldn't hide her curvy figure.

"You can sleep for a while, I need to change into new clothes." After she finished speaking, she was somewhat speechless when she saw the clothes scattered on the floor.

Last night, the two of them were crazy and a little scary. They almost tried all kinds of tricks. The **** black evening dress she wore at the premiere had already been turned into pieces.

Well, the masterpiece of aliens.

"OK."

"By the way, help me fetch this morning's newspaper." Ryan lay lazily on the snow-white bed, and waved to Monica Bellucci, as if faintly proud.

The taste of the future Golden Globe actress is really extraordinary.

Although he was familiar with Monica Bellucci's body for a long time and couldn't be more familiar with it, there was still a strange charm.

This is why many rich people like to pursue female stars, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.

Not long after, Monica Bellucci changed into a tight skirt made of silk, on which some crystal beads formed an elegant arc curve, which coincided with the curve of the body,

Her soft black long hair hangs down, and a pair of black gemstone earrings sway gently, not only does not have any sense of disobedience, but reveals a strange charm, her arms are as white as lotus roots, delicate and tender, and a pair of jade hands hold a stack of newspapers , her slender legs were tightly wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, her legs were frighteningly straight, and under her jade feet, she was stepping on a pair of silver high-heeled shoes.

The most fascinating thing is that a platinum anklet is tied on top of the silk stockings jade feet, which adds a touch of brilliance to the **** and slender legs.

This dress was not provided by the hotel, but by her assistant, who had just delivered it early in the morning.

Ryan just got up and happened to see Monica Bellucci's whole outfit, so he whistled, "Honey, are you tempting me?"

As he spoke, Ryan stepped over, touching his long legs in stockings with both hands, and there was a glorious and soft feeling, which was simply a luxury.

"Okay, I'm going to attend a public relations banquet with Helen in a while, and I'm going to fly back to the set in the afternoon." Monica Bellucci shrugged her beautiful shoulders and said a very regretful news.

"Okay, my dear, let's see what the newspaper said. As for the public relations banquet, let it go to hell." Ryan didn't continue to touch, and reached out to take the newspaper.

After simply flipping through it, this is the one he has received the most favorable reviews in his history, and there are almost no negative reviews.

According to the Los Angeles Times, ""The Truman Show" is full of fables about life, if you savor it carefully, you will find that it contains profound meaning..."

At the end of the article, I also specifically mentioned "Cut Throat Island", thinking that this is a failed work, just like a trash can on the street, it is disgusting.

The New York Times commented: "Ryan Gosling has done it. From a horror film director who can only show off blood and violence, he has successfully transformed into a mainstream commercial film field in Hollywood. It is worthy of our congratulations for him."

"However, as the film director of "Cutthroat Island", Renee Harlem has completely fallen, starting from "The Wind on the Mountain"..."

The opinion of The Washington Post, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, is not on the film itself, but on other places.

"As we all know, 20th Century Fox rejected the investment in "The Truman Show", Disney's Touchstone Films even stopped the filming agreement with Ryan Gosling until Paramount and Lucasfilm joined , the movie "The Truman Show" can be released smoothly..."

"Ryan Gosling, did not let them down, successfully created a masterpiece, even a masterpiece that is enough to make 20th Century Fox and Disney regret."

The article is full of sarcasm.

But most of the time just read the articles of film critics, the film company doesn’t care what the film critics and the media say, the most important thing about a film is always the box office.

Ryan read it for a while, then put down the newspaper casually, "At least in terms of professional reputation, it's not bad."

As for "Cut Throat Island", he didn't pay attention to it at all, or he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

For a movie that grossed just over $10 million, or even less than $10 million, and only a few million dollars, there's nothing to be concerned about.

"It seems that some people are going to kiss your boots in public." Ryan looked at Monica Bellucci with a teasing tone.

Monica-Belucci rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to pat it, and said angrily with his dishonest hands: "Be quiet for a while, Helen is probably under the hotel now, if you want to have breakfast with us, Better get up quickly."

Ryan took his hands away from her, glanced at the time by the way, and then took the clothes under the bed, started to dress, and prepared to enjoy a breakfast for three.
