Superstar

Chapter 106: Slightly better by 1

"Los Angeles Times" Nicholas selected Hugo and Brad as opponents in the report is not without reason. [Starter]

The same involvement with Tracy and the same audition for "Dahe Lian" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" can only be said to be subjective reasons. More importantly, Hugo and Brad are as tall and handsome. And there is a sunny and righteous temperament in the temperament, but Brad is more unruly, and Hugo is warmer. You know, in the actor industry, the competition between similar types of actors is very cruel. Often the winner can only be one Hugo and Brad. The reason why Hugo and Brad met in the audition of the two works in a short time is an iron proof. .

Therefore, when Nicholas listed these two men as opponents, many people expressed their surprise-after all, they did not have any frontal ‘confrontation’ before, but they had no choice but to agree. As a result, when "Dahe Lian" and "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the "Female" were shown one after another, people couldn't help but get excited.

"Lian Dahe", which was released last week, achieved a good reputation, with a media review score of 68, and a theater score of "b". The review performance was also very good. For Brad’s point of view, they all focused on his innocent smile, thinking that he was quite the style of director Robert Redford when he was young, and the nickname "Redford successor" spread like wildfire. Brad's popularity rose again, continuing the positive impact brought by the previous "dead mad'flower'".

At this time, Brad is still a complete newcomer. Whether it is "The End of the Road" or "Dahe Love", he is an absolute supporting role, and there are not many roles, but in these two works Brad's performance has won a lot of praise, which makes people can't help but think of the situation when Hugo just debuted.

In the media review of "Scenting Fragrance and Knowing Women" released this week, it scored 72 points. The theater score "b+" can be said to be slightly ahead of the performance of "Dahe Lian". In terms of the evaluation of Hugo, praises such as "playing against Al did not lose the wind...", "renewing the brilliance of acting talent...", "dedicated to the'precision' performance" and other praises occupy an absolute advantage, especially It is the negative impact brought by the "Hudson Eagle" that has been diluted a lot in this "precise" performance. People have remembered Hugo's good time in the "Death Poetry Society" in 1989.

In the head-on confrontation between Brad and Hugo, it is clear that Hugo has received more attention. Because Hugo’s rival actor is Al, and Al has contributed to a grand performance in the movie. Under such pressure, Hugo still stays up against the wind, which makes Hugo more ‘colorful’.

"U.S. Weekly" jokingly joked in the commentary that it wrote, "In the face of Brad's menacing challenge, Hugo lost the audition for'Dahe Love', but used'Wen Fragrant's "female" person's "precision" performance gave a counterattack. This is indeed worthy of fun. I don't know if Brad regrets that he didn't get the audition for "smell the "female" person?"

When Brad saw this comment from "U.S. Weekly", he became irritated. Last week he was complacent because of the praise of "Dahe Love", but now Hugo has used such a "fine" performance. He was given a bucket of cold water, which really made Brad suffocate hard, not knowing where to vent.

First, the audition for "Yihai Xiongfeng" was lost, and then the advantage of "Dahe Lian" in front of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the "Female" Person" also disappeared. Recalling his triumph after the "Dahe Lian" audition, Brad felt hotter on his cheeks

"Brad, don't..." The agent Martin Baum looked very calm after countless strong winds and waves. In fact, his heart was constantly tumbling, but he just didn't want to show it. In Martin's view, although "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing "Female" People" is very "sexual", "Dahe Love" is not bad, and Brad can't be regarded as a failure at all.

But the young and energetic Brad couldn't listen to these advices, and interrupted Martin's words directly, "Nothing? Don't be angry? How is it possible! Didn't you see those media comments? They always treat me Compared with Hugo, it’s almost impossible to directly say that I failed miserably. This is a shame! Shame!”

Martin opened his mouth, the sentence in his throat, "You didn't actively want to compete with Hugo..." He swallowed it in a daze. It is definitely not a good thing to'stimulate' Brad at this time. As far as Martin knows, recently There seems to be a problem between Brad and Tracy Jacobs. If he adds fuel to the fire now, things will be out of control.

So Martin’s words to his lips became, “Recall the media’s comments on you, it’s full of praise. No one said that your performance was bad, no! Did you forget the media’s praise of you? Now it’s just rain. If your performance is warmed up again, you will start to panic, anxious, and worried. Is there no way for your brain to calm down?"

Martin's series of words rushed to Brad's head dizzy. In fact, he didn't hear the content clearly, only knowing that Martin kept complimenting him before emphasizing the media, which made Brad a little calmer.

"But, his movie's box office is better than mine!" Brad is still not fully awake, he suddenly thought of a little bit, "Dahe Love" last week's single-store box office was 25,000 US dollars, not as good as "Wen" Scent of the'female' person"; and this week, the box office of "Dahe Lian" was 19,000 U.S. dollars, and it was defeated in the frontal'fight' with the "scent of the'female' person". It’s also an art movie. It’s sad enough that word of mouth falls short, and it will be defeated at the box office as a result, which really makes Brad very mindful.

"So what? It's only the first week, and it's useless for you to get angry." Martin looked at his broken coffee cup on the carpet, and sighed, if it wasn't for Brad's promising future. Next, when Brad heard the box office results of "Scent of Women", he broke the coffee cup because of being too "excited". He should be going to get angry, but Martin still has to bear it. Down.

Martin turned his gaze back to Brad, who was still indignant, "Not to mention that the next box office trend is still unknown, even if the performance of the'smell of fragrance' and the'female' person's performance is even more'colorful', But you still have countless opportunities in the future, don’t you? You are now in an upswing period, and Hugo has only recovered once. The future situation is still uncertain. You will still have the opportunity to compete with each other. Then you will win back. ."

This time Brad finally calmed down and listened quietly to Martin's words. Martin again said while the iron was hot, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"Who said that!" Brad immediately exploded his hair, blushing and said excitedly, "Next time, next time I will win!"

I thought of Tracy after the first comments on "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the Women", and joked with director Robert, "What would the effect be if Hugo were to play?" Although it was just a joke, Robert He also replied with a smile, "More handsome than me?" Not serious at all, but even so, Brad still remembered.

Thinking of this, Brad gritted his teeth hard and clenched his fists, "Definitely!"

But Brad's wish was destined to fail this time, because in the face-to-face confrontation between "Dahe Love" and "Scent of the "Female", the latter took the lead with an absolute advantage.

In the fourth week of October, "Dahe Lian" took the lead in expanding the scale of screenings. 130 theaters received a weekend box office of 1.58 million U.S. dollars, making it into the top ten of the weekend box office rankings, ranking ninth. ; And the "scenting and acquainting women" who are still sticking to the 20 theaters continue to be screened. Driven by the reputation of "color", the box office of the single library has not fallen but increased. The data of the single library of 30,000 US dollars has allowed The film’s weekend box office reached 600,000, and it ranked 14th among the 17 films on the list.

Even so, the box office of "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the "Female" People" still surprised everyone.

In the fifth week of October, "Smell the fragrance and know the'women'" took advantage of the popularity of "color" and also launched a comprehensive expansion. It was released on a large scale in 1,100 theaters across the United States. This expansion data can be used. I can see that Universal Pictures has a high degree of confidence in the film. And the performance of "smelling the fragrance of the'female'" also paid back to Universal Pictures' trust. It won 7 million US dollars in box office in three days at the weekend. In the eyes of everyone's surprise, it actually won this week. The top spot in the North American weekend box office rankings really made countless people fall through. Even the most daring box office forecasters did not anticipate the current situation!

This also makes this week's North American movie box office rankings present a strange situation. The three-time champion "under. siege" was pulled down from Malaysia and took the runner-up position with a data of 6.1 million US dollars; and "Dahe Love", which continued to expand in 800 theaters, took the place. At the weekend box office of 4.2 million US dollars, he rose to third place.

Such a list is really unexpected, not to mention that the art film "Dahe Lian" jumped to third place, behind it there are many similar to "dyman", "the last Mohican" ( the.last.of.the.mohis works with box office strength; just saying "smell the fragrance of'women'," a work that does not have any box office competitiveness has achieved unexpected success~www .wuxiaspot.com ~ defeated a series of strong performances on the list, especially after the three consecutive championships, the cumulative box office has reached 50 million US dollars "Qianlong Bangtian" was replaced by "Scent of Fragrance" female "Ren" won the box office championship on the weekend, which is definitely a surprise.

At this time, the three-week-old "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the "Female" People" has won a total of 9 million US dollars in the box office. The book cost has been recovered, and profitability does not seem to be a problem. In addition, the reputation of "color" is the film's popularity. The upcoming awards ceremonies have won a good position. It can be said that this investment of Universal Pictures couldn't be more wise.

Not to mention the grief from the media before the movie was released, even if Universal Pictures initially criticized the director Martin Brest for choosing Hugo, they could not put enough trust in the Raspberry Award winners. . But now? This seems to be an excellent choice.

Amidst the exclamation of the media, the magical journey of "smelling the fragrance to meet the'women'" is obviously still not over.
