Chapter 454 [Movie Premiere, Wonderful Film Critics]
In addition to inviting teammates, Guo Xu also invited some friends in Los Angeles to support him, which is a way of hype.
Without Robert Smith's participation, Guo Xu would not be able to play movies even if he had money to invest. The water in this industry is very deep. If he takes a slight wrong step, the box office of the movie may be seriously affected and declined sharply.
Robert has not been in the industry for a long time, but his family has found someone with experience to assist him. A series of promotions in the early stage of the movie were very successful. Several versions of the trailer, the scandals between Guo Xu and Meghan, Dunst, Avril and others have given the movie enough attention.
The movie did not preview or preview, but was directly released and held a grand premiere.
The film preview is not new in Hollywood. Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" started from preview and then became famous in one fell swoop. The preview is an important part of audience research. Commercial films produced by six major companies usually start intimate interaction with the audience from the script stage, constantly soliciting suggestions from the audience, constantly debugging, and then determining the final release version, which is related to the box office results of the movie.
This requires money and time. Guo Xu and others will definitely not be able to do it. The trial will not only not increase the box office, but may also be completely screwed up, because there will be professional film critics who will come to watch the movie and write film reviews.
American film critics are a very strange industry. Most of them rely on criticism to make a living by making trouble. How can a critic say good things about a basketball star as the protagonist? A group of people are ready to pick on his faults and swear hard.
As long as it is not an art film, film critics basically won’t say anything good. Of course, there are also commercial films with good reputation, but there are too few, there are only a few movies a year, and it may have been given a PR fee.
Many people think that Hollywood is very awesome and must produce fine products. In fact, Hollywood also produces a large number of bad movies every year, and the good ones are a very small part, but that part is released all over the world and is well-known to movie fans.
Film critics look down on low-cost comedy and commercial films. Even if reality and box office slap them again and again, they never thought of changing their tone. If the actors don’t look like they are miserable, they will not frown and think about life and cry silently, they will not have acting skills.
There is no depth and the plot is vulgar. Film critics repeatedly say these things, wanting to make themselves look very high. If a commercial movie has a box office too high and it is really difficult to find fault, they still have a way.
There are no black people in your movie, no Asians, no women, no elderly people, no politics are not correct enough, the crew's butt is too crooked! They will try every means to lead the wrong rhythm and strive to make the movie end, and they will feel comfortable if others don't have money to make money.
To put it bluntly, American film critics are composed of a group of sour entertainment circles and pretenders who like to find the meaning of life. These despicable people who stare at others all day long will definitely lose their reputation as long as they participate in comments, commercial films, and comedy films.
If Robert doesn't hold a preview, the film critics will not be able to take a sneak peek and there will be no chance to set the pace.
Guo Xu invited celebrity friends to support him. The movie was very popular, and fans of these celebrities were also attracted to watch the movie. As long as the audience felt good, their reputation would suddenly increase.
With a lot of attention, the premiere of "The Innocence of the Dancer" kicked off.
Audrey Jones, a reporter from ABC Radio, is also here, and it is also interesting to talk about Guo Xu's entertainment news on NBA programs occasionally.
After arriving, Audrey was surprised. It was not that there were few people, but that there were too many people. It was not what she imagined that a small-cost movie should look like if she invested in a 10 million yuan low-cost movie. It was simply the feeling of déjà vu when the premiere of a blockbuster.
At the beginning, the stars walked the red carpet and became an alternative landscape. They were much taller than their fans and were all giants. Not only Suns players, but "Big Shark" O'Neal also came to join in the fun. The Lakers just didn't have any games in the past two days.
After the Hollywood star arrived, it caused many fans to scream.
"Look, Keanu Reeves is here."
"Keanu and Jason are really like brothers, they are a little older."
"Is that Frank from "Extraordinary Human Trafficking"?"
"Is this the premiere of the kung fu film today? Jetli is here too..."
Jet Li is a basketball fan. He met Guo Xu in 2001 and was invited to support him with his wife.
Guo Xu and Meghan appeared together. The fans on the sidelines also held his NBA poster. The most common one was the poster of him flying over Pierre's slam dunk. The dunk made him more popular.
Walking on the red carpet, Guo Xu was not nervous at all. After experiencing two NBA championship parades, he had long been used to seeing all kinds of big scenes. Compared with the number of fans at the championship celebration, the number of premieres was much smaller.
Megan held his arm with one hand, and the two waved to the fans on both sides together.
Their dresses are very fashionable and have a special stylist. Guo Xu wore a black casual suit, handsome and upright, while Meghan wore a golden long dress that was not exposed to the shoulders, which was very charming in front and back.
Both of them have very valuable figures. Meghan wore high heels and stood with Guo Xu today, feeling like a golden boy and a jade girl.
After walking on the red carpet, they arrived at the media area. Several people stood in front of countless photojournalists, posing carefully practiced looks for the reporters to take photos and go to the news tomorrow.
Then they went to the media area to be interviewed by reporters.
The reporter asked: "Jason, what kind of box office results do you think this movie will end up with?"
"I guess the box office in the first week will definitely exceed $20 million. I believe my fans." Guo Xu did not avoid this question and said confidently.
Another reporter asked: "If the movie box office exceeds 20 million, it is likely to become the box office champion of this week. Do you feel you have the opportunity to attend the Oscars in the future?"
"If Oscar invites me, I'm sure I'm willing to go."
The reporter asked: "Film critic Armond White said he was not optimistic about the movie you starred in. He thought it would be difficult for you to have the correct acting skills as a non-professional actor. What do you think?"
"That..." Guo Xu paused and asked the reporters on the scene: "Who can tell me how professional actors should answer this question at this time?"
Everyone laughed, and this was Guo Xu's answer.
New York film critic Armond White is quite famous in the circle. He has always been famous for his sharp words and unique views (just quarrels), so he offended many filmmakers and actors.
In Guo Xu's previous life, this man did several famous things. For example, in 2010, he criticized the movie "Black Swan" as bad as an MV work, which triggered a verbal battle between him and the director.
He also strongly denied "Twelve Years of Slave" and believed that the film should not win the Best Director Award. It was reported that he questioned director Steve McQueen in public at the banquet. This matter caused an uproar as soon as the media disclosed it, and the outside world accused Ammond of not being so rude.
Guo Xu doesn't know this crazy person now, and smiled and said, "Skip this question, I can't answer it. Is the movie good? Whether I have acting skills? You will know after you go to the theater. Let's watch 'that who' yourself."
Guo Xu expressed his attitude. If someone who can't even remember his name, what special feelings can he have? He is not interested in slapping that person in the face because he has no time to interact with every cat and dog who hates him. He is very busy.
