79-Media Reaction

The event in Times Square in New York ended in a hurry. Before Naomi Watts took off her makeup, she got off the car under the protection of the police and quickly returned to the hotel.

The film attracted a lot of attention from Africans, which is of course a good thing, but it is a huge hidden danger for these people to participate in the event in groups.

No one knew whether they would have any special thoughts in their brains. If there were a group of zero-yuan purchases, Wayne felt that his sin would be great!

This is not impossible, just look at the police who are facing a great enemy.

Warner Bros. booked the seventh floor of the hotel for the group. Wayne was in an inner and outer jacket room, which was not as standard as the presidential suit and the specifications were not low.

In addition to having a master bedroom, the room also has two slightly smaller bedrooms. Each room has an independent bathroom, and three bedrooms are connected by a living room.

After returning from Times Square, Wayne changed into loose clothes and sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

His attention was not stopped on the TV show, and he kept thinking about his work. Now it seems that his second film will basically not fail. As long as there is no problem with the subsequent promotion, the box office should be guaranteed.

Nina and Sergei were sitting aside, and they were the ones who focused on TV.

Harry Berry was curled up in the single sofa, holding a nail clipper, and carefully trimming his nails.

“Dong, Dong.”

The knock on the door sounded, and Nina reluctantly retracted her gaze from the TV series, walked quickly to the door and opened the door.

Following Nina was Naomi Watts, who was now full of energy and revealed joy from the inside out.

Naomi Watts held a large stack of newspapers and magazines in his hand, but he didn't even look at Harry Berry, and sat playfully next to Wayne with a smile.

"Look at these, Wayne." Naomi Watts put all the things on his hands on the coffee table, picked up the top newspaper, and pointed to the entertainment headlines above. "Our videos have been reported by many media. The newspapers I bought are just what I saw with my own eyes, and I should have seen more of them!"

Wayne took the newspaper handed over by the other party and looked at the entertainment page.

‘The summer season is coming soon, and the North American film market has started fighting early. Currently, the North American box office list is the Disney dark horse "Home Imperial" released in April. The film's box office results are basically scheduled for the 1992 annual box office champion!

On the second weekend of May, yesterday, there were only two large-scale films, one was the film "Escape" directed by Long Howard in 2538 theaters and starring Tom Cruise and his wife. The other was the thriller "Escape from the Deadly Town" directed by Wayne Greenberg and starring Naomi Watts and Will Smith.

According to the news we got from the North American theater league, the attendance rate of "The Land Ambition" was not high on the first day, with a box office of only about 9.9 million US dollars. Most of the audiences entering the theater were Tom Cruise fans.

The low-cost thriller "Escape from the Deadly Town" has the potential to become a box office dark horse. After dark yesterday, the attendance rate increased significantly, and the first day of the year closed at about 9.7 million US dollars.

This is another small cost with dark horse potential after Disney's "Home Imperials"...'

Wayne threw the newspaper aside. The moment he saw the box office numbers, he let go of his heart. Since "Escape from the Deadly Town" can win a box office number similar to that of the other party when hundreds of theaters are fewer than "Earth Ambition", it seems that there is hope that this weekend, there will be a chance to overturn "Earth Ambition" and reach the top directly!

"Did you see it? We almost won the single-day box office championship. What a pity, it's just a little bit."

Naomi Watts took the newspaper back and put it aside.

"It's already very good, Nami." Wayne also felt pleasure from the inside out and lit a cigarette happily. "What did those newspapers say?"

"There are a lot of film reviews and media reports." Naomi Watts picked up another newspaper and shook it in front of him. "I'll read it to you!"

"This is from the New York Post. After its premiere in January, the audience A and above scores accounted for more than 95% of the total score. After the release yesterday, the total scores decreased, and the above scores remained at about 90%..."

"Change another, Nami." Wayne interrupted her.

"Ok, this is the Los Angeles Times. "Escape from the Deadly Town" is a surprise in both concept and production. The shock will never appear when you think it is coming, and the secret hidden behind it is more bold than you can imagine. - Kenneth Tulan"

"The film combines the satire and horror of racists in particular. This second Wayne Greenberg work is a heavy social commentary that shows positive fearlessness, which of course does not mean it is not terrifying. - Todd McCarthy"

"Wait, there's the Chicago Sun..." Naomi Watts put the newspaper in his hand aside and picked up another one to continue reading.

"Enough, Nami." Wayne interrupted her activity, pointing to the piles of newspapers. "There is no need to read those who say good things and praise the videos. Is there anything else?"

Naomi Watts was stunned when he heard this. "Is it good for media to praise? I saw almost all the mainstream media and said good things about our videos."

"Nami, don't take the media's integrity too high." Wayne shook his head and continued: I can only say that Warner's public relations are doing well. They can praise us shamelessly today. If the film's performance is not ideal tomorrow, they will step us into the mud like praise us."

In fact, Wayne was very comfortable hearing these reports, but he understood the moral integrity of these media and just forced himself to calm down.

Just as Wayne and the crew started the publicity campaign, Jeff Robinoff and Kevin Tsuhara were also looking at the newspaper in the office of the president of the Warner Building.

Suddenly, Kevin Tesuhara spoke and said: "This movie is a bit beyond our expectations. We have to send a message back by investigators. Not only is the attendance rate of ordinary theaters good, but even the theaters around the African-American community have been queuing up to watch the movies early in the morning."

"Yes!" Jeff sighed. "I thought this film would not meet the first week's box office we expected, but I didn't expect it to be more than half of it in one day on Friday."

"Today is a rest day, and the box office will continue to rise. You must coordinate the publicity and distribution department and increase publicity efforts." Kevin Teshura said.

"No problem!" Jeff pointed to the newspaper. "I will make news about "Escape from the Deadly Town" appear in all media tomorrow. Surprisingly, the Africans did not expect that they could burst out with such enthusiasm. It seems that Harry Berry's plan is very successful!"

"It's that director, Jeff!"

Kevin Tessulhara sighed sincerely, no one expected that Long Howard and Tom Cruise would lose the first-day box office championship.

Yes, there is no secret in this circle. Kevin got the news this morning when Tom Cruise bought the box office. If this is in normal times, it is a good way to stimulate the box office, provided that you cannot encounter strong competitors.

And the newspaper in front of him read in bold font: Wayne Greenberg, a rising genius director in Hollywood!

Other Kevin was not surprised. What made him most amazing is that this director is only 22 years old now, so he is too young! He has not yet reached the peak period of creation that a director should have. It can be seen from his first two movies that he is still exploring and growing.

The beginning stage of a director is always full of uncertainty, and even Spielberg has failed works. But this young man did a very good job, and he has a step forward in a film, and the director's path is particularly steady.

Kevin Tessulhara believes that as long as he does not make mistakes, after a few years, his production philosophy and personal style will become more mature, he will at least develop into a genre master like Francis Coppola.

The most rare thing is that Wayne's film also takes into account the feelings of popular movie fans, and it is not just a director's self-interest, which makes his business achievements unsatisfactory.

"Jeff." Kevin Tessulhara pointed the director's photo in the newspaper with her hand. "Keep him, the success of this film is foreseeable, but it's just a question of the final box office number. Even if the film only stays in the theater for one weekend, it can generate a lot of revenue.

The investment in this film is insignificant compared to the large revenue to be achieved! Keep him, the film I want him to shoot in the future can only be produced and distributed by Warner Bros!”

Jeff Robinoff is also thinking about this issue. Wayne Greenberg's next project will definitely become a hot commodity in Hollywood, and countless jackals will compete for it.

The only good news now is that he signed a priority investment contract with Warner, which can ensure that Warner Bros. gets the plan for a new project as soon as possible.

"I will ask him as soon as possible when he finishes the publicity campaign!"

ceo Kevin Teshura nodded after hearing this, stood up and walked to the window, looking down at the Angel City from a high place.

"Jeff, you should know that I am seeking a position in the group CEO. It should take less than two years for Karen to retire. It means a lot to tie up this young director."

Kevin Tessulhara said that Jeff knew that if Kevin could really reach the position of president of Time Warner, then Warner Brothers' CEO's position would have a great chance.

If the business you are responsible for can still generate large revenue, competitors will have basically no chance.
