Chapter 205

An invitation to a celebration banquet was provoked by Wen Ziren.

Marcus nispel was so angry that he tore the invitation into pieces in front of all the reporters, put down a cruel word and went straight back to the building.

The reporters quickly recorded this scene with a camera. Marcus's anger and Wen Ziren's calmness, and the two directors fought head to head. Needless to say, I don't have to worry about news materials this week.

Sure enough, from the next day, Wen Ziren and his "chainsaw thriller" successively appeared in the entertainment section of major media.

"Behind the creation of the chainsaw, let's learn about the Chinese American director James Wen."

"James Wen, a new Chinese American director from Malaysia, landed in Hollywood."

"According to insider reports, James Wen, who was at school, was a horror film lover."

"New Director Wen Ziren, the debut will bring dozens of times of revenue..."

……………………

Wen Ziren became angry. Without preparation, he became famous overnight.

Lao Mei likes young people with achievements and personality. If Wen Ziren shows that kind of low-key and gentle character, he will hardly enter everyone's vision if he doesn't fight or rob.

People may pay attention to your works, but they will never like you.

Tracy knew this, so he gave him a push. This wave of operation is definitely a show.

Detonated the entertainment explosion point, hit his opponent in the face, and successfully pushed Wen Ziren, the new director, in front of everyone. By the way, he can also do a wave of publicity for the film.

Tracy's standing up has absolutely no such effect, but Wen Ziren, a newcomer, is just fine.

"He wants to step on me, he wants to use me as a stepping stone, damn... Get out... FK." Marcus slammed a water cup to the ground, and the glass residue splashed everywhere.

He can't tolerate a hairy boy rising on his shoulder. It's a great shame.

On one side, Michael Bay didn't have any expression on his face. He felt naturally angry about him. After so long in Hollywood, this kind of thing will happen at any time. It's no wonder.

He reminded the partner with his own experience, but the other party didn't listen to him at all. Who can blame him.

"Well, Marcus, now is not the time to think about these things. Our film has been a great success. Now is the time to receive the results." Michael Beck is more open than him. He sees more interests. As a producer, he values profits more.

The production cost of Texas Chainsaw murderer is 15 million. At present, the box office has exceeded 50 million. The cost has been recovered, and the rest is revenue.

"Not yet, Michael. You know, its box office will be better. We need more publicity. It depends on you negotiating with 20th century fox..."

"I won't agree, Marcus." Michael Bay shook his head. "Our film has been released for three weeks, and its North American box office is almost the limit. Now it has 66.8 million box office, and in two weeks, it may be more than 80 million or more than 90 million. That's enough."

"Not enough, not enough. I need it to break 100 million. We can increase publicity, extend the release time, or buy..."

"No, no, no, this idea is too crazy. I can't help you."

………………………

The press conference of Mr. and Mrs. Smith was held as scheduled in the banquet hall on the third floor of Beverly Hills Hotel.

On November 10, the box office of the second week of chainsaw also came out. This week, the box office closed at 29.3 million, and the total box office in North America was 61.9 million.

The box office continues to sell well, but it can only get the second place in this week's box office list. The first place is undoubtedly won by the new line's big production "spirit". It opens three days at the weekend, with a box office of 36.5 million.

"Texas Chainsaw murderer" continued to decline, with a box office of only more than 8.2 million and a total box office of more than 75 million. It seems to be more than 10 million ahead of chainsaw, but people with clear eyes can see that this advantage may not last long.

Listening to George's report on the recent box office situation, Tracy was in a very good mood. He sorted out his suit in the mirror and said to him, "I don't have to say anything about the promotion of chainsaw in Europe as soon as possible. The box office results in North America are enough to impress them. By the way, how are the schedules of peach secret and drunk sleep?"

"Peach secret is scheduled for Christmas, but Mr. Douglas means to avoid big production by other companies as much as possible and may be postponed to January next year. Drunk sleep is scheduled for February 14 next year, Valentine's day." George thought for a moment and returned.

"Well, do a good job of publicity in advance. Peach secret had better avoid the Lord of the rings. If you need me, you can tell me. Douglas would like to recommend the new Tudou network. I think he would like this way of publicity." Tracy stood up, straightened his hair, raised his hand and looked at the time. He found that it was only a few minutes before the press conference, so he raised his feet and walked to the door.

"By the way, ask Wen to shoot the second part of the chainsaw as soon as possible. Also, it's best to show me the later part of the drunken sleep." Tracy stopped at the door and went out.

"Honey, you're so slow." Nicole is waiting for him at the door.

Tracy smiled and took her arm. "Baby, you're so beautiful today."

Nicole is wearing a black low cut dress with a slit to the thigh, which is also the most classic shape of the hostess in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Tracy specially cleaned herself up today. She's more mature. She really has a husband and wife relationship with Nicole.

At 10:30 a.m., the press conference began on time.

The creators sit in a row, the producer sits in the middle, the male and female owners Tracy and Nicole sit on his left, and the director Doug Riemann sits on his right.

Starting with the producer, Doug Riemann introduced the outline of the story, the shooting cost, the stars and supporting actors.

When introducing that Dorothy would play the leading role, it caused the following uproar.

Although these reporters have received some news before coming, they are inevitably amazed at the bold decision made by the crew of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

"Director Riemann, what made you decide to use new actors. Tracy is inexperienced. Can he support a large-scale production with an investment of 100 million?"

"Yes, director Riemann, in your project, the male and female protagonists play a couple face to face. There is such a big age difference between Tracy and Nicole. Tracy is not yet 20 years old and has no acting experience. Can he be competent for the role of husband?"

.............

"This..." several reporters questioned one after another. Doug Riemann thought about it and was ready to respond, but Tracy's gun was in front of him.

"Let me explain first. I'm not inexperienced. I've played roles in eye opener, Sicily and drunk sleep. The crew must have thought about taking over the hero of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and I'm ready to meet the challenge..."
