The Best Entertainment Era

There are a lot of deeply hidden homosexuality in Hollywood. Is Tom Cruise one of them? Pat Kingsley is not sure, or even has any evidence.

I have this idea, but I just thought of one thing. In the mid-nineties, Tom Cruise had a close relationship with a male friend. Nicole Kidman was counted with Tom Cruise because of this incident. Once there was a fierce quarrel, and the two even reached the point of fighting.

Later, Tom Cruise made a concession and took the initiative to alienate the male friend.

Although there is no real hammer, what evidence is needed for such a revelation? Then treat it as a problem with Tom Cruise's orientation.

Pat Kingsley pondered another question, who should Tom Cruise choose as his gay/homosexual partner?

The previous one is definitely not suitable, and I can only mention it appropriately. After all, it is too far away to bring actual harm to Tom Cruise.

Then find the right candidate among Tom Cruise's current friends.

Thinking of this, a name immediately appeared in Pat Kingsley's mind - Ronan Anderson!

This is Tom Cruise's good friend, and tall and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, he is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

Ronan Anderson...

Pat Kingsley said the name once and shook her head quickly. Ronan Anderson looked very suitable, but in fact it didn't fit at all.

Ronan Anderson is not an actor, not a star, let alone an ordinary person! He is a well-known producer in Hollywood, the owner of Relativity Entertainment Group, and a veritable billionaire!

Such a person, is she a manager who can afford to provoke?

Even in the heyday of Michael Ovitz, the founder of CAA, he would not dare to easily offend someone like Ronan Anderson.

Although Tom Cruise is also a billionaire, a star billionaire like him is incomparable with an entity billionaire like Ronan Anderson.

It's not terrible to go to war with a billionaire like Tom Cruise. After all, you have too much black information about the opponent, but it would be too unwise to provoke Ronan Anderson at the same time.

There is another candidate, another close friend of Tom Cruise - Will Smith.

Pat Kingsley also vetoed it,

Black people in Hollywood will collectively explode if they mess with them. The social trend in the past two years is very clear. It is better to avoid messing with black celebrities.

Just get one of Tom Cruise's male assistants.

Anyway, the news in many small and medium-sized media now is a picture at the beginning, and the content is all edited.

It will take time for Pat Kingsley to determine the content, make a plan based on the content, and contact the media later.

Anyway, we can no longer cooperate, so we should handle the handover of Tom Cruise's brokerage business as soon as possible.

In the morning, Pat Kingsley completed the simple plan, and then began to call the media and corresponding contacts to meet with them in person, and then make a more detailed plan based on the results of the discussion.

She needs a period of time to plan and find a suitable opportunity to explode.

Pat Kingsley has worked in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and has only served as the manager of two popular stars, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, for more than ten years, and has accumulated a large amount of media resources.

Some of them may not work with her, but more media outlets are more than happy to cover a superstar scandal.

Isn't it the media's favorite routine to make stars and then destroy them?

The time soon came to the weekend. After the full preparation of the embassy film industry, Hero was successfully expanded to the North American screening scale of 2420 theaters.

Because many films aspiring to hit the Oscars are still controlling the scale of screenings in order to continue to do word-of-mouth marketing. Among the many films on the Oscar nomination list, the famous films are still maintaining the scale of screenings in dozens of theaters, and they want to expand their screenings The strength of publicity and distribution of the film is not as good as that of the embassy film industry.

For a while, Hero became the largest film that was screened that week.

Although the 2,420 theaters are based on the Chinese community and Asian settlements as the core distribution, a large number of Western audiences have also entered the theater.

On the first day of the extended screening, Hero won $8.95 million in North America, becoming the No. 1 box office chart in North America on the day it airborne!

At the same time, the film has won praise from many media in North America.

This is the power of kung fu! Hero topped Friday's box office chart in one fell swoop, proving that Relativity Entertainment's investment in it is worth every penny!

Obviously, this is a powerful blow from the East. It is not easy for a foreign language film to top the list. Oriental Kungfu is well-deserved.

Some North American media even compared Hero with Dream of Red Mansions.

Just like in the East, Hero also has a lot of negative word of mouth.

The famous film critic Todd McCarthy gave such a formula after watching Hero: well-made war scenes + beautiful Chinese swordsmanship + Jet Li - low-level storyline - improper moral code - slow movie pace.

But generally speaking, the word-of-mouth of Hero in North America, especially the audience's word-of-mouth, is still more positive.

Since films such as City of God and Chicago have not yet expanded their screenings, The Pianist, which has already been expanded, lacks competitiveness, and Hero has the strongest commercial attributes among the other Olympic films. The film shown did not pose much threat to Hero.

In order to maintain its reputation, even if the screening scale of The Pianist was expanded, there were only less than 500 theaters.

On Saturday, Hero's single-day box office rose again, earning $9.14 million.

Ronan saw the box office data for two consecutive days, and he was completely sure that the embassy film industry only relied on North American box office revenue. Not only could it reap the copyright fees and public relations expenses invested in Hero, but it would not be difficult to achieve a large amount of profit.

There is no doubt that with the expansion of the release of Hero, the film has already achieved great success in North America.

Ronan made a brief analysis and found that this film can be sold well, in fact, the first thing to thank is Ang Lee and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon set off a wave of martial arts all over the world, and Director Zhang saw this opportunity and decisively followed the trend to shoot Hero.

Director Zhang's production is of course also very important. Hero has shocking colors and a sense of picture.

The color control of the film is in place. The oriental colors in the film give people a strong visual impact, and the picture is even more beautiful.

The martial arts fighting scenes with oriental characteristics and the interweaving and impact of colors form a strong sense of artistic presentation.

Among ordinary North American audiences, the word-of-mouth of this film is actually very good. Two days after its release, the IMDB score is still as high as 8.5 points.

Heroes is the most amazing movie I have seen so far, whether it is directing, shooting, screenwriting, special effects or film technology. The colors used in the film are breathtakingly beautiful, and the fighting scenes are beautiful and flawless , the actors performed well, the stunts are realistic, the lighting and effects are all exquisite, this movie is fantastic.

Most ordinary movie fans praised the film, and it turns out that the magic propaganda of Embassy Pictures is also extremely in place and successful.

I like this style of movies because they go beyond the control of gravity, break through the limits of the human body, and also subvert the stylized camera position. Some people may think that this kind of martial arts scene hanging in the air is a bit silly or out of place It's practical, but to me it's really creative beauty, and it's like a breath of fresh air compared to the action scenes I've seen before.

Some fans pointed out the film's flaws.

Unfortunately, the film is a bit overdone. There are so many elaborate computer-generated movements that the audience has to watch the actors fly around the sky on steel ropes over and over again. Although in the film The action needs technical support very much, but the filmmaking should not be distracted by this.

This is actually a portrayal of the reputation of Hero among North American audiences. According to the data obtained from the Cinema Score theater audience survey, the applause is always given an A+ score, while the criticism is almost always a low score of D or F. Few even B's or C's sit on the fence in the middle.

It is not difficult for Ronan to find that the effect of Hero released in North America is surprisingly similar to the scene when it set off a box office whirlwind in the Eastern market last month.

The successful publicity strategy attracted a large number of Americans to the theaters, and the excellent picture effects satisfied them. However, the thin plot, the syllogism narrative method, and the political feelings of sacrificing the ego still aroused a lot of attention among mainstream American audiences. Big controversy.

But one thing is certain, even the most discerning American audiences are unanimously applauded for the color picture and Zhang Guoshi's photography skills.

This is also a big reason why Hero did well at the box office after its extended screening.

Some film critics even named Qu for Hero not being nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars.

After the first weekend of the extended show in North America, when the statistics came out, Hero unsurprisingly stood at the top of the North American box office chart, earning 25.88 million US dollars in 2420 theaters.

As soon as the box office figures came out, Ronan asked Embassy Pictures to announce the good news to Dongfang's New Picture Company as agreed.

In any case, this should be communicated to the producers.

There is no way for them to make a profit, they can always get fame.

At the same time, Ronan also accepted interviews from Eastern media specifically for Hero which won the box office championship.

The success of Hero does have a certain reference for oriental films to enter the North American market.

Facing the Eastern media, Ronan still reminded very honestly: This film can be accepted by North American audiences. I think it is very important to highlight the picture and downplay the plot and meaning.

Don't imagine how tall and powerful American audiences are. Most people don't care about the story when they watch movies, they just want to be lively and good-looking. For them, watching movies is just playing, so they pay more attention to visual impact.
