Chapter 247 242 Supporting Ao Mei
Chapter 243 242. Call for Omei
Los Angeles, Arclight Theatre.
A long red carpet extended from the entrance of the theater. This was the first premiere held by MGM this year. The filming of "A Quiet Place" started last year and took more than half a year.
The investment in the movie was actually not large. It was expected to be 15 million US dollars, but it ended up costing 17 million US dollars. Although it was a bit over budget, it was still within an acceptable range. The money was mainly used for special effects to create the monster. more realistic.
The cost of publicity is not large, MGM only invested US$3.5 million, and the total cost of the film is only about US$20 million.
It can be regarded as a large-scale production in an ordinary independent small company, but it is just a scratch-off game in a few large factories.
For a movie of this scale, there is actually no need to hold a premiere. After all, even "Saw 2" didn't have a premiere.
As a big boss, Eric usually doesn't attend, but one of the protagonists in the movie is Elizabeth Olsen, his sister-in-law and the girl who almost became his goddaughter.
Ashley and Mary begged themselves to attend to support their sister. He flew around the world for more than half a month. The two sluts were also a little horny and were waiting for comfort.
In addition to these loving children, there were also some more important official matters that needed to be handled by him personally, so he flew back to Los Angeles.
The crew of "Inception" is temporarily in charge of Neil. He has already led the team to Chile. Everything will go according to the script and there will be no major problems.
"Elizabeth, come closer to Ashley and Mary. We need a group photo."
On the red carpet, the atmosphere suddenly became heated with the arrival of the Olsen sisters.
With their Golden Globe and Oscar nominations still lingering, the two are now Hollywood's hottest A-list stars.
Later, some young actors came to support one after another, and the Olsen sisters relied on their own connections to bring them to the stage.
Paris Hilton, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Biel, Monica Keena, Rachel Roberts, Jeffrey Pierce.
The three sisters all dressed up to attend. Although Elizabeth is only 15 years old, her growth rate is the same as Swift's, and she is already taller than her two sisters.
The flashing lights kept flashing, and everyone came up to take photos.
"Mary, aren't you at odds with Jessica Biel? Why is she here too?" O'Mei asked quietly.
While saying hello to her friends, Mary helped her sister straighten her collar: "Elizabeth, this is Hollywood. As long as you become popular, they will kneel down and lick you."
"It's not that I have a deep grudge against her, it's just a competition for roles. I was at a party some time ago, and she took the initiative to chat with me, and that's how it ended."
"Ryan, my sister Elizabeth."
Ahead, Ashley brought Ryan Gosling to meet Omei.
When she was chatting with Eric, she once talked about the younger generation in Hollywood.
Eric casually mentioned a few names, thinking they had the potential to become a big hit, and Ashley took them all to heart.
Whenever I get a chance, I will make friends with these people.
Parties are held every day in Hollywood. After a few chance encounters, strangers become familiar with each other and relationships are established.
For these new generations who have not yet risen, the Olsen sisters have become someone they need to look up to.
Not only is the company becoming more and more prosperous, but it has also won the Golden Globe Award and has completely transformed successfully. It is my luck to be friends with her.
Ryan Gosling smiled: "Hello Elizabeth, I heard this movie is your debut."
Aomei shook her head shyly: "It doesn't count. In fact, I made a guest appearance in a TV series, although my role was very small."
"No, no, no, that doesn't count. Don't take TV series as your starting point, but think here, the big screen, is the goal we actors should pursue."
"Just like your sister!" Next to her, Rachel McAdams suddenly appeared and interjected.
Looking at this young and beautiful beauty who suddenly appeared, Aomei couldn't help but trembled in her heart: "What a beautiful girl."
Ryan Gosling pointed at the other party: "Do you need me to introduce you?"
"Haha. But it seems like you just met each other."
"At least one minute ahead of you."
"Elizabeth, this is Rachel McAdams, a girl from Canada. She is not only beautiful but also has good acting skills. She is a very good actress."
"Ryan, you seem to know Rachel very well. Are you good friends?" Ashley looked at the two of them curiously.
Rachel McAdams grinned widely and said, "Because this guy and I just finished a movie together, a love-themed youth movie."
"Is it released?" Aomei asked hurriedly.
"No, I heard it's scheduled to be released in June, but that's the company's business. It's invested by New Line."
As she spoke, Rachel grabbed Omei's little hand in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, little girl, the name of our movie is "The Notebook". From the name, there is no possibility of conflict with "A Quiet Place". The audience is a different group of people. ”
"What's more, I'm worried about hitting MGM's movies. Who doesn't know now that MGM's movies almost never lose money."
"And you will definitely become popular. In addition to rarely losing money, MGM is also recognized as being very good at promoting newcomers."
Wow.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"It seems that a big shot is coming."
Rachel McAdams had not finished speaking when Eric, dressed in a casual suit, got off the Lincoln sedan and stepped onto the red carpet.
Seeing him appear, many people sighed that this trip was not in vain.
The media hoped to get some useful information from him, and the actors hoped to show their faces in front of this big shot.
"Eric, aren't you filming abroad? Why did you come to the premiere?" a reporter asked.
"This is a movie I invested in. Is there a problem with attending?"
"No, I mean how is the filming progress of "Inception"? Can you reveal some news? Everyone is looking forward to it."
Eric waved his hand: "Today's protagonist is "A Quiet Place". I don't want to answer any questions that are not related to it. Please focus on the movie, okay?"
As he said, he no longer paid attention to the paparazzi's questions, and quickly caught up with his girls, kissing Ashley and Mary politely on the face. The real gun battle can wait until after the premiere.
"Sorry, Elizabeth, the plane encountered turbulence, but at least we were not late for too long."
"What! Turbulence! It sounds dangerous!" Olsen covered her mouth.
"Nothing, I have encountered it many times. As long as it is not a typhoon, I can always get through it safely. I changed my clothes and rushed over."
"I shouldn't have invited you to attend if I knew it. If something unexpected happened, I would become the sinner of the Olsen family."
Hearing their sister's words, Ashley and Mary's hearts skipped a beat, feeling something was wrong.
"Hello, boss, do you still remember me?" Rachel McAdams smiled and stretched out her hand to greet.
Eric shook hands with her: "Of course Rachel, is the filming of "Mean Girls" going well? I haven't listened to the report recently."
Eric, such a big boss, actually remembered her name. Rachel nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Everything went well, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"Wait, are you talking about "Mean Girls"? Is it the script you showed me and Mary?" Ashley suddenly remembered something.
Eric hummed, "You are the first choice, but you two don't want to act, so Rachel's audition is successful."
"What! That's it! Ashley, Mary, it seems I should treat you to a big meal." Rachel widened her eyes in surprise.
"That's better. Didn't you just say that MGM is best at promoting newcomers? Rachel, you're going to be famous this time."
Hahahaha
After chatting for a while, Eric put his arm around Olsen's shoulders and took pictures for the paparazzi. The two stood together, looking a bit like a couple.
"Eric, as Elizabeth Olsen's debut work, do you have any words for her?" asked the reporter of the Los Angeles Post.
Oscar Olsen raised her head slightly and looked at Eric, her eyes revealing expectation.
Eric also looked at her and said loudly: "Elizabeth Olsen, she will be the rising star of Hollywood!"
The paparazzi immediately wrote down this sentence. Very good, there is a topic for tomorrow.
Olsen felt sweet in her heart: "Thank you Eric."
"With our relationship, do we still need to say thank you? Enjoy tonight."
"Yeah."
Looking at Eric's back as he left, Ryan Gosling said jealously: "You seem to be too enthusiastic."
"What? Jealous?" Rachel McAdams glanced at him.
He laughed strangely a few times, but the man didn't say anything.
They fell in love since filming "The Notebook". Although there are countless handsome men in the entertainment industry, few people can arouse Ryan Gosling's high vigilance. He is still confident in his charm and family background.
But Eric Cooper is obviously an exception. The other party's level is too high. Even if he stands there, I don't know how many female stars want to pounce on him. Taking the initiative is even more devastating.
"Come on, I don't have any feelings for Eric Cooper, and he won't be interested in me." Rachel McAdams waved her hand.
"How do you know? You're so beautiful."
"I think. Maybe it's because I don't have a twin who looks like me."
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be heard by the paparazzi!" Ryan Gosling hurriedly stopped his girlfriend.
Although some people privately speculated that the Olsen sisters had two daughters serving one husband, speculation is speculation, and spreading dirty rumors also depends on the object, be careful not to be banned!
Everyone walked into the theater, and Eric chatted with important members of the crew.
Among them, the father role is played by John Corbett, this guy is a multi-talented artist on the big screen, small screen and music, and has achieved good results in all three aspects.
The most well-known role in the film is "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" two years ago. This movie is a successful example of a small bet for a big win.
The cost of 5 million US dollars was exchanged for nearly 370 million US dollars in box office worldwide, ranking in the top ten box office of the year, and John Corbett was the male lead.
The mother role is played by Mexican actress Laura Haring, her most famous work is the famous suspense masterpiece "Mulholland Drive".
Although she is already 39 years old, Laura Haring's beauty has not diminished, but has become more charming.
It's just that her luck is not very good, and she has never become popular. Instead, she is best known for her marriage to the descendant of Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of the First German Empire, so she was called the Countess for several years.
I don't remember the little boy Eric who played the younger brother. I guess he is a newcomer.
As the lights in the theater fell, the MGM logo appeared, the golden lion roared a few times, and the movie officially began.
Eric made appropriate changes to the plot to make it look more reasonable.
First, the male protagonist was changed to a scientist assistant with some basic skills, and some unpleasant plots were given to his son to ensure the audience's popularity of the sister played by Ao Mei.
The background is explained clearly in the first few minutes. Alien monsters invaded the earth, and countries were either destroyed or retreated to study ways to deal with monsters.
Monsters have no eyes, but their hearing is very sharp. They catch prey by hearing, so the survivors cannot make any sound in daily life.
The family came to the store to search for supplies, and the younger brother gave a toy plane to the third child in the family, but no one noticed that the third child secretly took the battery.
Therefore, the plane made a noise, attracted the monster, and killed the third child with one blow.
Whoosh!
Looking at the huge ghost that flashed by and the child who was suddenly knocked away, many people in the cinema screamed.
Children are generally treated specially in movies, and death scenes will not appear directly, but that does not mean they cannot die.
Hollywood prohibits the death of children and pets, which is completely a rumor.
The reason why there are few deaths is entirely for ratings.
Even if there is death, as long as there is no blood flying around, broken limbs, and the screen switches quickly enough, the impact is not great.
"A Quiet Place" received a PG13 rating, which is not even R-rated.
The sister played by Olsen was deaf and dumb, and did not notice that her brother started the toy plane and did not stop him in time, so she blamed herself.
The next step is a daily battle of wits and courage between the family and monsters, mending the family rift, and preparing for the upcoming new life.
Dad is responsible and brave, Mom is extremely resolute, Olsen acts as a qualified assistant to Dad, and the brother is responsible for the fucking plot that caused the conflict. Someone has to take the blame, right?
The depressing atmosphere and the monsters staring at each other in close proximity made the audience in the cinema feel nervous, until the father sacrificed himself to save his family, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.
As Olsen noticed the weakness of the monsters that were afraid of high-frequency vibrations, the mother finally shot a monster with one shot, and the feeling of fear and frustration was released in an instant.
In the end, facing the monsters that attacked again, the family was no longer afraid. They wanted to avenge their family, and the movie came to an abrupt end.
The lights in the theater were turned on again, and the creators took the stage to thank them. Many audiences stood up and applauded spontaneously.
Papapapapa
Seeing this scene, Eric knew that the movie was a success. The high-concept horror movie gave the audience a sense of freshness and made them feel the long-lost creativity, which was the most attractive.
Next, let's wait and see whether the box office of "A Quiet Place" can surpass "Saw".
After all, in the original time and space, it surpassed too much.
