Best Movie Star

This time, Matthew didn't stay here too long. The publicity announcement for "Inception" had just ended. He said hello to Helen Herman, who was still planning to set up a branch here, then went to Russia and continued to run. Overseas promotion.

Compared to other actors in the crew, he is more active.

On the one hand, getting more remuneration has to be paid accordingly, which is the most basic professional quality; on the other hand, the box office level of the film directly determines how much he will share in the later stage.

Although he never said it, Matthew never denied that money was one of his biggest motivations.

This is nothing to admit, a person as vulgar and without any beliefs as him would never work hard for those ethereal things.

Desire makes progress.

Just when Matthew was running all over Europe, "Inception" was also beginning to be released on a large scale in many overseas markets.

Warner Bros.'s distribution strategy of first in North America and then overseas came into play at this time. In this information age, news of a North American hit movie is too easy to spread all over the world. "Inception" has the disadvantage of its own theme, and the original The production has relatively low recognition on a global scale.

But it has also accumulated certain advantages: both the North American box office and word of mouth have exploded.

In most cases, the hot movies in North America will continue their momentum overseas.

Inception is no exception.

"This is a movie that is not afraid of spoilers, this is a movie for people who like to use their brains!"

These are the promotional slogans of "Inception" in overseas markets, and they have achieved good results in conjunction with the film's word-of-mouth marketing and viral marketing, which is evident from the film's overseas box office.

In the first weekend of "Inception" being released overseas on a large scale, there was almost no suspense and won the box office champion of the week in most of the released regions, especially when many media mentioned the film, they used "This is a movie for worship. "To make the opening remarks.

"The compact storyline makes people have no time to blink. More than 120 minutes are exciting. By the end of the movie, you will feel that time is fleeting." The words of a French movie fan in an interview can be said to reflect the majority of the audience who entered the theater. Opinion, "You have to keep your eyes on the screen, not miss any details and think over and over again. It feels like watching The Dark Knight plus National Treasure. It's a headache and a lot of fun."

In the face of excellent marketing and overwhelming word of mouth, the overseas box office statistics of "Inception" have been released.

"Inception" opened higher and moved higher in the first week. The United Kingdom received more than 16 million US dollars, France received more than 12 million US dollars, Germany reported nearly 15 million US dollars, and Australia cut more than 9 million US dollars...

"Inception" earned nearly $150 million in its first week of overseas screenings!

Such box office figures also prove that the marketing strategy formulated and adopted by Warner Bros. is correct, and this word-of-mouth marketing has achieved initial success.

In North America, "Inception" also continued to maintain a strong enough box office trend as expected by the outside world.

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles ushered in a new week. It was a very quiet Monday morning. In a villa on the east side of Beverly Hills, Angelina Jolie watched the servants fill the table with breakfast.

"Babys!" Angelina Jolie stood at the door of the restaurant, calling out to her children, "Madox, Parks, Zahara, Shiloh..."

As if holding a UN meeting, four children of different skin tones entered the dining room, and Angelina Jolie kissed them one by one on the face and assisted them to sit on the chairs at the dining table.

Then two nannies took Knox and Vivien, who were less than three years old, into the restaurant.

"Let's eat." Angelina Jolie sat at the front of the long dining table.

For the sake of her figure, she only ate a small amount of food. After putting down the knife and fork, she looked at her six children with loving eyes, and a feeling called happiness spontaneously emerged.

The **** of the year really grew up and matured and transformed into a qualified mother.

Although Angelina Jolie, who was involved in the marriage of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, brought many negative influences because of the name of "Little Three", Jolie was keen on charity and created a reputation as a chivalrous woman. Then, by raising six children in person, she successfully "washed her whites", making people gradually forget her unbearable past and establish the image of a good mother.

Perhaps it was a subtle influence. In this "whitewashing" process, which was far more successful than Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie also changed from the outside to the inside and became a real mother.

After the children had breakfast, Angelina Jolie took them to the recreation room, played with them for a while, and came out quietly.

Feeding so many children, especially giving them a good life, is not an easy task, she has to work hard.

In the past two years, in addition to insisting on charity, she has never given up her career as an actress. Last weekend, "Agent Short" starring her was just released.

Angelina Jolie walked into the study, and a copy of the latest Los Angeles Times was already on the desk.

Opening the newspaper, she directly pulled out the entertainment section, and after just one glance, she couldn't help sighing. "Inception" has been released for three weeks, and it still overwhelmed the just-released "Agent Short".

"Agent Short" is also a big production, and the production cost is as high as 110 million US dollars.

And the scale of Sony Columbia Pictures' announcement is large enough, so it still can't win the box office championship from "Inception", which has been released for three weeks.

"Agent Short" met expectations with $36.5 million in its opening weekend, but "Inception" was even higher.

Angelina Jolie flipped through the Los Angeles Times in her hand and quickly found last weekend's box-office bulletin.

""Inception" entered its third screening weekend, and received $13.2 million, $16.5 million, and $8.8 million in three days, still a very healthy and stable curve on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with a total of $38.5 million The weekend box office successfully beat the $36.5 million of the newly released "Agent Short", which has been the No. 1 in the North American box office for three consecutive weeks."

"One thing is certain, "Inception" will definitely sell for a long time in this extremely competitive summer season. At present, the North American box office has accumulated a total of 252.3 million US dollars, which has exceeded the North American box office target set by Warner Bros."

"Before this, a sci-fi/thriller/crime movie that is not a sequel, does not rely on best-selling novels, and does not rely on superhero comics wants to sell well at the box office in North America in its first week, and the final box office can exceed 300 million US dollars, Is it very big, now it seems that "Inception" can easily achieve this result."

"And whether the final North American box office of "Inception" can exceed 300 million US dollars is actually irrelevant. The greatest value of this film is that it can give other later generations confidence - as long as the actors are properly selected and the director is reliable, The script is high-quality. The investment is strong enough, and the publicity is in place. Such original crime-related themes with a touch of science fiction can still sell well!"

"I believe that after the success of "Inception", more directors will come up with their own original stories that have been hidden for a long time, so that the investors can become a movie, which is also a good thing for fans."

Seeing the movie starring Matthew Horner pressing herself down, Angelina Jolie is still a little gloomy. No one knows better than her how Matthew Horner grew from a humble existence to today's Hollywood Super star.

However, the past ten years have been extremely difficult and uneasy, and her reckless behavior when she was young made her pay a heavy price for it. Since she woke up a few years ago, Angelina-Jolie has been very clear about what to do. , such as continuing a chaotic private life no one will care; what can't be done, such as provoke those real heavyweights in the circle...

She sighed, no matter what it was, Matthew Horner had reached a height that even she had to look up to.

What's more, what if "Agent Short" can win the box office in its first weekend? Comparing a film that opened in its first week to a film that was in theaters three weeks ago?

The ups and downs of the past two years have made her mature, and her mind has become more and more sober. She is far less famous than Matthew Horner in terms of fame, salary, status and influence.

Even the charity that she is most proud of in the past two years is still inferior to the other party.

Matthew Horner's philanthropic achievements are also far ahead of hers.

The gap between the two sides is all-round, what is the comparison?

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Brad Pitt, the figure turned around in his head and was kicked out.

Picking Brad Pitt was a mistake.

Without comparison, you can't see the difference. How does Brad Pitt compare to Matthew Horner?

It's a pity that when I was young, I was ignorant and had no vision. A piece of gold was placed in front of me, but I missed it so much. In the end, I chose a pile of pig shit.

If she could do it all over again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After filming "The Girl Who Moved Soul", she would definitely not let Matthew Horner get off the car, but take him home.

"When I was young..." Angelina Jolie muttered to herself, "what a fool and a bastard!"

Thinking that she was Matthew Horner's guide to Hollywood, she didn't know what it was like for a while, it was very complicated, very strange, and it was unclear and unclear.

Maybe when I get old, I don't care anymore, I can sit with Matthew Horner and talk about that unusual past.

Not long after Matthew returned to Los Angeles, the North American box office of "Inception" reached the $250 million expected by Warner Bros., and the global box office easily exceeded $500 million, accumulating as much as $576.8 million.

It also makes him extravagantly hope that the new film starring him can hit the global $10 dividing line.

At the same time, Matthew completely withdrew from the promotion of "Inception" and began to prepare the most for "Special Forces 2", but he had not officially entered the crew, and the Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, who had worked with him before, asked come over.
