Best Movie Star

Natalie Portman stands by the window in a luxury suite at the Beverly Hills Hilton in Los Angeles, thinking about the premiere a few days ago.

The sun was scorching hot outside, and she was cold inside.

This cold, of course, comes from "Alien Battlefield", which was just released a weekend.

Although the poor response at the trial screening and the extremely poor pre-sale box office had already prepared her psychologically, she did not expect that the film would be so miserable!

It is so miserable that she, the heroine, will definitely bid farewell to the first-line mainstream production in the future.

As for how miserable Brad Pitt will be, Natalie Portman can't imagine that the bankruptcy of Plan B and his personal bankruptcy are inevitable.

"Hey……"

Natalie Portman let out a long sigh, recalling the box-office stats bulletin she just read: In the first three days of the first weekend, "Alien Battlefield" earned $20.6 million in North America.

Hmm... At first glance, this number seems good. Among the films she starred in, the "Star Wars Prequels" trilogy with its own IMAX halo was excluded, which was the highest-grossing film in the first weekend.

Even such a box office can kill 90% of the final box office of Hollywood movies.

The problem is, "Alien Battlefield" cost 250 million US dollars to make! That's $250 million! Not $25 million...

Such an output that does not match the cost of the film will cause the film to suffer a fatal blow from the producer to the director to the starring actors, as well as the investors.

Let's all be gorgeous. This may be the only place she feels fortunate, there is no shortage of companions on the way to the abyss!

Making a video is one thing, how to market it is another.

Natalie Portman cited poor publicity as another reason for the film's unsatisfactory results.

As a sensible person, even if she can find thousands of reasons, she still knows that the current situation cannot be changed, especially when major institutions are watching "Alien Battlefield" badly.

The theater audience rating is only "B-", and it is difficult to predict the final North American box office of more than 50 million US dollars.

Although it is rare to comment on overseas box office, Natalie Portman made a guess based on the North American overseas box office ratio of past films.

What is the global box office of "Alien Battlefield"? If you are unlucky, it will be about 100 million US dollars. Even if you are unlucky, it is difficult to exceed 150 million US dollars.

Brad Pitt is really miserable, a hundred times worse than her!

After deducting Disney Pictures’ distribution fees and publicity fees, how much money can Plan B get? As for the surrounding area, how could the late-stage copyright of the film, which failed miserably at the box office, sell for a high price?

"Cloud Atlas" failed, "Alien Battlefield" also failed...

Natalie Portman suddenly had a strange idea. The two films she helped Brad Pitt get his hands on made Brad Pitt and her miserable!

She didn't have to face the inevitable bankruptcy like Brad Pitt did, but it definitely didn't feel good.

Why is this? Why did two films that seemed to have a high probability of success eventually turned into two big pits?

Natalie Portman thought about it and couldn't understand it.

Could it be... She suddenly had an idea, could it be that Matthew Horner moved his hands and feet?

impossible! Natalie Portman directly rejected the idea, because as the heroine and producer of the two films, she has always seen clearly that Matthew Horner did not make any small moves from behind, and Disney also Don't let him do little things.

She sighed, left the window, went back to the sofa in the living room of the suite and sat down, thinking about the way forward.

With the failure of "Alien Battlefield", the road to mainstream commercial films has been cut off, and we can only return to the road of independent literary films. This road is not easy to take, especially as a failed returnee.

Fortunately, she still has an insurance, a snatched film!

The preview of "Black Swan" has a very good reputation. September is the Venice Film Festival. This film will first go to the Venice Film Festival to be gilded, and then move to Toronto, Canada. After earning enough word of mouth and fame, it will turn back to Hollywood. The sword refers to the North American awards season, and the ultimate goal is to win the Oscar for Best Actress!

The goals and plans were all set, and she tried her best to grab it.

But want to make it happen? Natalie Portman knows how difficult it is. Even if she is Jewish, even if she sells people for 15 years, there is still only a certain chance of winning?

No one can guarantee 100% of the Oscars, not even Harvey Weinstein.

Natalie Portman knows this all too well, so what she has to do is increase her odds of winning and increase her stakes for Best Actress.

At this moment, the idea that she was born at the premiere was even more determined.

There was a bit of hesitation at first, but now there is no way out. Even getting an Oscar nomination for best actress can be of great help to her sharply declining career.

So, she needs a child, she needs to take a child to the Oscars!

The whole society sympathizes with pregnant women, and they all have special privileges for pregnant women. Even in a circle like Hollywood, they are subtly affected. As long as she can appear in front of the media with a big belly during the awards season, she will definitely enjoy more than ordinary people. preferential treatment.

Of course, this cannot be an illegitimate child, the father of the child should be clear, preferably engaged.

Otherwise it's not an advantage, it's a scandal.

It's June, and it's half a year before the next awards season in December, which is just right, six months is enough to make the belly very conspicuous.

"The whole society gives preferential treatment to pregnant women." Natalie Portman said with a hint of disdain, "Is it difficult to lie down and spread your legs?"

A child is a must! What about the child's father? Of course it's Darren Aronofsky, who is dating.

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and made a call, asking, "Darren, where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Fifteen minutes later, Darren Aronofsky walked into the suite, and Natalie Portman pressed Darren Aronofsky down like a wolf of prey.

"Wait, I didn't bring..."

Darren Aronofsky was interrupted by Natalie Portman before he could finish his words, "No need, I'm in a safe period now."

She calculated the day, today is not a safe period.

Natalie Portman's crazy moves, her head is still thinking about the gains and losses.

A child with Darren Aronofsky can bring her at least two benefits.

One is to enter the awards season with a big belly and become a bargaining chip; the other is to tie up Darren Aronofsky and let this guy concentrate on serving himself for at least a few years.

It is really rare to have such a young director who is highly praised by professionals.

As for former partner Brad Pitt, who cares about his life or death!

Brad Pitt was very sad. From the moment "Alien Battlefield" was released in advance of the box office statistics, he knew that he was 80% doomed. When he saw the box office data of the first weekend, he was completely sure that he was doomed.

Even if God comes, it can't save the box office of "Alien Battlefield".

Because he got not only the North American box office statistics, but also the overseas box office. In more than 70 countries and overseas regions that were simultaneously released, "Alien Battlefield" only received more than 22 million US dollars.

John Carter on Mars came to Earth not only unaccustomed to the soil and water, but also seriously ill and dying.

The loan arrears of "Cloud Map" has not been repaid. Originally, it was expected that "Alien Battlefield" would explode at the box office, and then it would make up for the deficit caused by "Cloud Map".

Those who entered the market through formal film investment channels are better to say, since he has a hard time, those people will be unlucky along the way.

The point is debt.

Thinking about the loans and mortgages of the two projects, the huge sum of more than 180 million US dollars with principal and interest is simply not something he can block.

Plan B can’t be kept, and you can file for bankruptcy. After all, it’s a company, and it’s just a matter of giving it to the bank.

But at the beginning, the loan secured by Plan B was not enough, and he personally borrowed and mortgaged nearly 100 million US dollars. Is he really going to go bankrupt now?

Thinking of the terrible bankruptcy and the tragic life of Nicolas Cage being forced by creditors, Brad Pitt's body trembled slightly.

If all were to happen, he would be far more miserable than Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Cage has fully proved himself in business, and there are still many people who like him, and he has been starring in some independent literary films. He has a very good reputation, but his commercial value is limited, and he has screwed up "Troy" and "Cloud Atlas" one after another. ” and “Alien Battlefield”, apart from those shoddy B-level films, who would dare to find him?

"Don't let this happen," Brad Pitt said to himself. "Never let this happen!"

He came from the bottom of Hollywood and knew how miserable it was to live without money, fame and status.

Who can save him? Who can give him a hand? Brad Pitt looked at the small bar in the living room, where Angelina Jolie was sitting drinking.

"Julie." Brad Pitt walked over, picked up a glass, and placed it in front of Julie, "Pour a glass."

Angelina Jolie glanced at him, poured him a small half glass of vodka, and Brad Pitt drank it up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The hot alcohol not only stimulated the mouth and stomach, but also gave His great courage.

"I encountered a little difficulty." Brad Pitt knew that Angelina Jolie was worth at least tens of millions. "Jolie, can you help me?"

Angelina Jolie suddenly laughed, how could she not know about Brad Pitt recently? Pete killed himself, do you want her to die with him?

If she has no money, who will support so many sons and daughters?

Sure enough, it was a mistake to be with such an irresponsible man.

"Julie!" Brad Pitt said again.

Angelina Jolie raised her hand to stop him from continuing to speak, picked up the glass in front of him, drank the wine inside, and made the final decision.

"Let's break up," she said calmly.

You can only be happy after a breakup.
