~： 691 - "They're just temporary partners"

Facing the first ray of sunshine in Los Angeles, an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan turned into the Greenberg Manor at the end of Mulholland Drive in Beverly. Wayne, who was sitting behind the car, revealed exhaustion. But with a hint of joy after venting.

The car stopped at the small square in front of the main building. The housekeeper, Hela, was already waiting by the fountain. She bent down slightly and opened the car door immediately.

"Ms. Watts looks very bad, sir."

Hearing the butler's report in a low voice, Wayne patted the non-existent folds of his shirt and shrugged lightly. "Where is she?"

"I'm having breakfast in the restaurant." Hela followed him unhurriedly.

Raised his wrist and glanced at the time, Wayne nodded secretly. It was not yet 7 o'clock. It seemed that he came back not too late. Although he fought with the two "Charlie's Angels" for most of the night, at least he didn't miss it. Sending off to the mother of the child, isn't it?

In fact, most outstanding men have a set of things behind the scenes, and Naomi Watts is particularly impressed by this point now.

Especially when he saw the man who walked into the restaurant generously, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a tough and handsome face, deep eyes, and a brown round head that stood upright. Coupled with a three-piece British-style handmade suit that fits well, and shiny leather shoes, at least from the external image, he has successfully squeezed into the circle of outstanding men.

He exchanged cups with Hollywood celebrities, invested in film companies, and worked closely with superstars in the circle. The works he shoots are regarded as the guarantee of commercial achievements, and his earning power in the film industry is the highest since the commercialization of Hollywood.

When these conditions are all concentrated on a man who is less than 30 years old, I believe that 99% of girls in the world will lose all resistance. And don't blame all kinds of hot babes lining up and doing everything in their power to get into his bed.

All of this, Naomi Watts had already thought clearly when she gave birth to a child for this man. But what made her angry from last night to now is that this man, in front of her, was taken away by two "watches" with a few words and deliberate coquettish coquettishness!

"F**k, Hela, am I dazzled?" Naomi Watts slammed the half-drinking milk glass and put it back on the dining table. Then, with an expression of incredible surprise, he looked at the butler who handed the man breakfast.

"God, Hela, tell me all this is true? Our dark "tyrant" rushed back to his home early in the morning, and he even knew how to go home?! Shit, it's so touching Disappointed, those two b***h didn't make him unable to get out of bed?"

"Nami!"

Although his face was thick enough, Wayne frowned helplessly, raised his hand and tapped on the table hard, glaring at the Australian girl.

Then he secretly winked at Hela, who was beside him. When the butler lowered his head and hurriedly exited the restaurant, he put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. He picked up a piece of scrambled egg and said with a smile: "Nami, you know, they're just temporary companions."

"Aha, bed-rolling partner, huh?"

Seeing his expression, Naomi Watts knew that her anger was in vain. He simply rolled his eyes, sighed inwardly, and picked up half of the milk on the table again.

In fact, the Australian girl is very smart and understands the deep meaning of the "temporary partner" in the man's mouth. The other party is actually expressing a certain attitude to him.

More importantly, the man also knows very well that, in the morning, before he leaves Los Angeles to run the publicity, he must come back in the morning. To some extent, the "temporary partner" is definitely not as good as the "life partner", isn't it?

"Have you packed your luggage?"

Wayne's tone was the same as usual, as if he didn't see the woman's unsightly face at all, because he was chewing scrambled eggs, his voice was a little vague: "Angelina Jolie and Cameron -Diaz, I have already rushed to the airport one step earlier, do you want me to take you?"

"No, let Sergey send me."

As long as she thought of the three of them last night, Naomi Watts couldn't help but pouted, and finally shook her head. "Dear Director Greenberg, remember to go to the farm to see little Fendi, our little princess misses her father. By the way..."

While wiping her mouth with a tissue, the Australian girl stood up from the dining table and said, "You'd better pray to God at home, and pray that I won't be able to resist and beat up those two scumbags."

After she finished speaking, she ignored the man's reaction, turned her head and walked out of the restaurant casually. She could vaguely hear the conversation between her and Hela, and asked the housekeeper to help with the luggage.

Some things, the necessary attitude must be shown, but it must not exceed the tolerance of a man. Naomi Watts has a very thorough understanding of this kind of thing. Appropriately showing your petty temper is fine, but if you pass a certain critical point, it will only cause unnecessary disgust from the other party.

To put it bluntly, there is no legal contract or a moral contract between them that needs to fulfill their responsibilities. At least the two of them are free. This is also her last night. She did not stop the man from hugging the two. The reason why "Charlie's Angels" left.

Even among ordinary young men and women in North America, there are many more people who maintain bubbles and friendships, not to mention Hollywood, where the relationship is more chaotic.

Not to mention singles like Wayne, even those couples in the circle who walk into the marriage hall and swear loyalty to each other in front of God, they don't play their own way. A relationship like "temporary partner" is not something that needs special attention in the circle at all, and you can know that it is everywhere.

In the production crew, cocktail parties, and various social events, when men and women in the circle look at each other, they will roll onto a sheet when they turn their heads. If both parties feel good about this time, then this "temporary partner" relationship will last a few more weeks. If the situation is the opposite, then wave goodbye to each other in style.

Even an ordinary starlet faces countless temptations every day in Hollywood, not to mention a top tycoon like Wayne.

Naomi Watts had figured this out early on, so she never thought about entering a marriage that bound both parties with Wayne.

She knows that no normal man can resist the ubiquitous temptation in the circle. Instead of letting herself live as a suspicious and resentful woman for the rest of her life, it is better to take a step back and give each other more freedom and space.

"Ha, it seems that the time for me to come down is very suitable." Da Da Da's footsteps sounded in the restaurant, accompanied by a sarcastic greeting. "Good morning, boss."

Wayne looked up and saw the assistant lady covering her mouth, yawning and pulling away the chair. After burping and throwing the steel fork in his hand back into the dinner plate, he raised an eyebrow at Nina. "It seems that you woke up long ago. If you got down earlier, you might be able to see a battle of the century."

"Boss, I'm very hungry now, but I'm not starving to be a fool now."

She habitually pushed the glasses on her face, and the assistant gave her boss a helpless look, and said, "With Nami's character, there is a high probability that she will say a few more words, she knows your character better than anyone else. , unless she really wants to turn her back on you."

As the only close woman around Wayne who has no relationship with him, Nina always looks at things very objectively, and can always stand in the perspective of a bystander, analyzing everyone's trajectory and choices, even though she herself, the same I also feel that my boss is a proper scumbag.

"The Warner Bros. distribution department just called." It seems that in the world of Miss Assistant, business is always the theme of getting along with Wayne. After a few jokes, she shoved food into her mouth and reported: " The premiere of "Charlie's Angels" has a good reputation among fans, and the average score fluctuates between B+ and A. The distribution department called and said that they would adjust the announcement and distribution strategy at any time according to the follow-up performance of the film..."

In any respect, the director of the film "Charlie's Angels" is a novice. The reason why the distribution department of Warner Bros. will arrange a large-scale theater line for the film, and the reason why it will hold a grand premiere for the film , basically all depends on Wayne's relationship.

Otherwise, let alone "Charlie's Angels", a film like "Charlie's Angels" will be released on a large scale in North America. Even if Warner Bros. accepts the release of the film, it will definitely start from a small-scale screening.

"I see."

After Nina finished reporting intermittently, Wayne nodded with a cigarette in his mouth. "Get ready, while we have time, let's go back to the farm to see Little Fendi."

Professional matters are left to professional people. He understands very well that the staff of Warner Bros.'s distribution department are the professionals in the publicity work of "Charlie's Angels". Difference.

Not to mention the backside of "Charlie's Angels", I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching, especially a group of executives and shareholders of Warner Bros., who are very aware of the success or failure of this film, and the significance it brings to Warner Bros.

Even after the official large-scale opening this morning, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have dispatched a number of investigation teams to closely monitor the fans' response to "Charlie's Angels" in order to obtain first-hand market data earlier.

Just for these very "special" attention, "Charlie's Angels" will not make mistakes in the announcement. Having been here for so many years and rolling around in the middle of Hollywood for so many years, Wayne has never been an ideal person, and he fully understands the importance of publicity and marketing to the success of a commercial film.

There is a point of view, putting him in Hollywood is exactly the opposite of the education he received in his previous life, that is, don't be superstitious about "gold will always shine"!

That's right, "gold always shines" is just a nonsense in the Hollywood film industry. According to the experience he has learned since he was a child, even if the gold is covered by a rag, the gold will last forever. Do not shine!

Therefore, there is a rule for commercial films, that is, when you can devote your life to publicity, don't feel sorry for every cent you invest, how much money must be spent, how much media resources, and how much media resources are spent.

Good-looking box office numbers are always inseparable from intensive bombardment marketing, just like the media resources that Warner Bros. smashed on "Charlie's Angels".

Just as Wayne got in the car and returned to his father's farm, information related to "Charlie's Angels" this weekend began to appear on major media in North America in an instant. The roadside billboards in the city center, the stand-up posters that can be seen everywhere in the theater, TV advertisements, newspaper advertisments, magazine revelations, the photos of the three **** and hot female stars seem to have appeared in everyone's line of sight in one day .

Even countless entertainment gossip tabloids began to publish a lot of the rough love stories between the three female stars and Wayne.

Since this weekend, there is only one new work released with "Charlie's Angels", "Six Days and Seven Nights" released by Disney's Pwell International, but the scale of the promotion of "Six Days and Seven Nights" is far from the same as "Charlie's Angels". "compared to.

In addition, some time ago, "The Flash", "Godzilla", "Crash Between Heaven and Earth", and a series of popular movies have passed the hottest screening period, so this weekend can be called "Charlie's Angels" "The rival films are only "Six Days and Seven Nights" and "Horse Whisperer" released last weekend.

With a lot of intensive propaganda bombing, and the largest opening scale this weekend, it can be said that "Charlie's Angels" has all the favorable conditions. After successfully getting fans into the theater, "Charlie's Angels" became the first choice for watching movies.

As the three days of the weekend passed and the latest working day arrived, "Charlie's Angels" did not make the headlines of the entertainment media, because "The Flash" after five weekends of release, with a shocking all media attention Speed, the North American box office successfully broke through to 300 million US dollars!

Although the film's performance in the theater market fell off a cliff since the fourth week of "The Flash"'s release, its performance in the first three weekends was too strong, even if the box office fell to one million dollars in the later days. Still under the huge advantages accumulated in the early stage, the North American box office has successfully surpassed 300 million US dollars in a short period of time, reaching 300.16 million US dollars.

Everyone knows that in terms of the film properties of "The Flash", it is basically impossible for the box office to continue to maintain a high trend in the later period, but this film still has a long showing time. What kind of box office figures can it achieve in the end? It depends on when Warner Bros. is ready to drop the film.

However, the special commercial film model of "The Flash" has taught all Hollywood film companies a lesson. "The Flash" relies on a few weeks before its release to get more than 80% of the total box office of the film. , successfully let all film companies see the profitability of pure visual effects commercial films.

"Charlie's Angels" was stole the show by "The Flash"'s total North American box office of 300 million, which does not mean that it failed at the box office. This film with three "sexy hot girls" as its main selling point, also in the first weekend of release, harvested Pretty amazing box office results.

"At the beginning of this year's summer season, the DC series "The Flash" directed by Wayne Greenberg still did not disappoint North American fans. After last weekend, this superhero with shocking audio and visual effects has successfully climbed the North American box office. reached the $300 million threshold.

Last weekend, "Charlie's Angels", which was also invested and scripted by Wayne Greenberg, was officially opened on a large scale in 2,800 theaters in North America, and it reported a box office of $68.5 million in the first three days of the weekend. This film, which is entirely starred by three female stars, has a box office of up to 24,600 US dollars in a single hall, and successfully reached the throne of last weekend's box office champion!

According to a number of professionals in the circle, the production cost of this "Charlie's Angels" will never exceed 70 million US dollars. Among the three main actors, only Cameron Diaz's salary is close to 10 million, so Wei Wei En-Greenberg's investment in the film can be said to be fully recovered in one weekend, which is a classic investment case for Hollywood commercial films!

The second place at the box office last weekend was the film "Six Days and Seven Nights" released by Disney's distribution company Pubwei International. This film successfully won 31.23 million US dollars in the first three days of the first weekend... ..." - "Premier"

"Charlie's Angels", the entire screen is full of pictures that make men drool, Angelina Jolie, Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, these three have different temperaments but the same hot body Spicy actors, it's like adding a raging fire in the extremely hot summer season..." --- "Daily Entertainment"

"Pioneering female action movie, **** "angel" body, costume, action awards, another new idea of ​​commercial action movies in the late 1990s, Cameron Diaz's legs, Angelina Jolie's The bear, Naomi Watts' waist, the rhythm, editing, and motion design of the film are everywhere to keep the audience hooked." - The Hollywood Reporter

The mainstream entertainment media fully affirmed "Charlie's Angels" on Monday morning. Strictly speaking, "Charlie's Angels" is still a typical commercial popcorn, but the unexpected starring of three **** hot girls makes this film a beautiful scenery in late June.

With the continuous screening of the film, the three heroines who have been publicized have become the "angels" in the dreams of most men in North America for a while. Everywhere, there will be a large number of male fans crazy about it.

When the film was shown in the North American theatrical market for a week, the box office of "Charlie's Angels" has reached 88.65 million US dollars. This box office result fully meets the expectations of Wayne and Warner Bros. They all know that the film will definitely exceed 100 million at the North American box office this weekend.

According to relevant good media statistics, from a purely female perspective, "Charlie's Angels" is likely to become Hollywood's first female film with a box office of over 100 million in North America.

There are countless works that perform better than this film, but if the starring is limited to pure female actors, the first thing people think of are niche literary films. In other words, this film is likely to be the only female-themed film that can break through 100 million at the North American box office.

This situation has also gained more attention for "Charlie's Angels". The repeated reports of the media, the spontaneous word-of-mouth communication of male fans, and some women's organizations that can't wait to jump out, all contributed to the film's next weekend. The show has laid a very solid foundation.

The performance of "Charlie's Angels" did not disappoint those who followed it. After the film's second weekend in the North American theater market, the box office successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars and reached 103.25 million US dollars.

Not only the overseas distribution of the film was included in the work plan of Warner Bros., but even the script writing of the second film, Warner Bros. executives have already begun to test Wayne's meaning impatiently. Obviously, this is what the big Hollywood studios have always done. As long as the movie can make money, they don't mind keeping making it.

In particular, the peripheral performance of "Charlie's Angels" is far better than the expectations of Wayne and Warner Bros. Angelina Jolie, Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz's performance Character dolls have almost become a must-have for men's charming hands.

Starting in late June and continuing until early July, Wayne was basically on intermittent vacations, but his eyes did not leave the hot summer vacation, nor did he leave "Charlie's Angels" obsessed with countless male mysteries.

It's just that this is the hottest schedule in North America. Even "Charlie's Angels" has only dominated the theater market for two consecutive weekends. When July 1st arrived, a "Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", released by Disney's BWI International, stole all the limelight as soon as it was released.

Exploding Bay's dominance in the summer season, or in the field of popcorn commercial movies, is almost as good as Wayne's fame at the beginning of the summer season.

This work, starring first-line male star Bruce Willis, continues the explosive scene of the explosion, and it has a huge opening scale of 3,127 theaters in North America, and it won a terrifying $36.09 million at the box office on its first day !

At the same time, with the release of "Peerless Catastrophe", "Charlie's Angels"'s short-term dominance in the summer season was also ended, but no one can deny the success of this female action film. It has only been three weekends since the film was released, and the North American box office has already come. to $119 million.

After entering July, it also officially announced that the North American theater market has entered the most popular screening period in the summer. Behind "Peerless Calamity", there are several big productions that fans are looking forward to, and Wayne has to take a break from the intermittent short vacation, because of the premiere of "Saving Private Ryan" in late July, Steven Spielberg made the invitation call himself.
