Chapter 454: [Cinema premiere, wonderful film critics]

?
In addition to inviting teammates, Guo Xu also invited some friends in Los Angeles to join the show, which is a way of hype.
Without Robert Smith's participation, Guo Xu would not be able to play movies even if he had the money to invest. The water in this industry is very deep. If one step is not right, the movie box office may be seriously affected and fall sharply.
Robert hasn't been in the business for a long time, but his family found experienced people to help him. The series of publicity in the early stage of the movie was very successful. Several trailers, Guo Xu and the scandals of Megan, Dunster, Avril and others have given the film enough attention.
The film did not engage in spot screenings or trial screenings, but directly screened for the grand premiere.
The film preview is not new in Hollywood. At that time, Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" started from Dianying, and then became famous. The audition is an important part of the audience research. The commercial films produced by the six major companies generally begin to interact intimately with the audience from the stage of the script. Related to the movie's box office results.
It takes money and time. Guo Xu and others will certainly not be able to do it. The audition will not only increase the box office, but may also be completely messed up, because there will be professional film critics to watch movies and write film reviews.
Film critics in the United States are a very strange industry, and most of them make their living by spraying people and finding fault. How can a critic say good things in a movie where a basketball star is the main character? A group of people were ready to pick him up and spray him hard.
As long as it is not a literary film, film critics will basically not say anything good. Of course, there are well-regarded commercial films but there are too few. There are only a few in a year, and public relations fees may be sent.
Many people think that Hollywood is very bullish and must produce fine products. In fact, Hollywood also produces a lot of bad movies every year, the good part is a very small part, but that part is released in the world, well known to fans.
Film critics despise small-cost comedies and commercial films. Even if reality and the box office hit their faces again and again, they never thought of changing their tone. If they are not Wenqing, they will spray. If the actors are not hard-working, they will not frown and think about life, and weep silently, it means they have no acting skills.
There is no depth, the plot is vulgar, and film critics say these things repeatedly, trying to appear to have a high level of compulsion. If the box office of a commercial movie is too high, it is really difficult to find faults, they still have a way.
There are no black people, no Asian people, no women, no old people in your film, the politics is not correct enough, the crew's is too crooked! They will try their best to bring the rhythm to the end of the movie, and others will be comfortable if they have no money to make.
To put it bluntly, American film critics are composed of a group of sour entertainment circles on the street and pretending perpetrators who like to find meaning in life. This group of people who have been staring at other people's all day long as long as they participate in the reviews, the reputation of commercial films and comedy films will definitely drop.
If Robert does not hold a screening meeting, the critics will not be able to see it first, and there will be no chance for rhythm.
Guo Xu invited celebrity friends to join the show. The movie was very popular, and fans of these stars will also be attracted to watch the movie. As long as the audience feels good, the word of mouth will go up at once.
In the midst of concern, the premiere of "The Pure Love of Dancers" kicked off.
ABC Radio reporter Audrey Jones is also here, and it's interesting to talk about Guo Xu's entertainment news occasionally on NBA shows.
After arriving, Audrey was taken aback, not because there were too few people, but because there were too many people. It was not what she imagined a 10 million investment small-cost movie should have.
At the beginning, the stars walked the red carpet and became an alternative landscape. They are much taller than fans and are giants. Not only the Suns, O'Neal, the "Big Shark", also ran up to make up for the excitement. The Lakers just did not play in these two days.
When Hollywood stars arrived, many fans screamed.
"Look at it, Keanu Reeves is here."
"Keanu and Jason are really like brothers, they are older."
"Is that Frank in" Very Human Trafficker "?"
"Is this the Kung Fu movie premiere today? JetLi is also coming ..."
Jet Li is a basketball fan. He met Guo Xu in 2001 and was invited to bring his wife to the show.
Guo Xu and Megan played together. Fans on the side of the court held his NBA posters. The most was the poster where he leapped Piller to dunk. That dunk made him more popular.
Walking on the red carpet, Guo Xu was not nervous at all. After going through two NBA championship parades, he has been used to all major scenes. Compared with the number of fans during the championship celebration, the number of premieres was much smaller.
Megan wrapped his arm in one hand, and the two smiled at the fans on both sides.
They are all very fashionable and have specialized stylists. Guo Xu was wearing a black casual suit, handsome and straight, and Megan was a golden dress with no shoulders, and it was very charming.
Both of them have capitals. Meghan put on high-heeled shoes and stood with Guo Xu today, a little bit like a golden boy.
After they walked the red carpet, they arrived at the media area. Several people stood in front of countless photojournalists together, posing with meticulously practiced poses for reporters to take pictures. They will be on the news tomorrow.
Then they went to the media area to be interviewed by reporters.
The reporter asked: "Jason, what kind of box office results do you think this movie will ultimately achieve?"
"I guess the box office in the first week will definitely exceed 20 million US dollars, I believe my fans." Guo Xu did not evade this problem and said confidently.
Another reporter asked: "If the movie box office exceeds 20 million, it is likely to become the box office champion this week. In the future, do you think you have the opportunity to participate in the Academy Awards?"
"If Oscar invited me, I would definitely go."
The reporter asked: "The film critic Amond White said he was not optimistic about the film you starred in, and you think that as a non-professional actor, it is difficult to pass the acting skills. What do you think?
"That ..." Guo Xu paused and asked the reporters on the spot: "Who can tell me, how should professional actors answer this question at this time?"
There was a burst of laughter from everyone, and this was Guo Xu's answer.
New York film critic Amond White is quite famous in the circle ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has always been known for his sharp words and unique views (that is, the bar), so he offended many filmmakers and actors.
In Guo Xu's previous life, this person had done several famous things. For example, in 2010, he criticized the movie "Black Swan" as inferior to a MV work, which triggered a scolding battle between him and the director.
He also vehemently denied "Twelve Years of Slave" and believed that the film should not receive the Best Director Award. There were reports that he questioned director Steve McQueen in public at the banquet. As soon as the matter was disclosed by the media, it caused an uproar, and the outside world accused Amond of not being so inaccurate.
Guo Xu doesn't know this neuropathy now, and smiles: "I can't answer this question, I can't answer, the movie is good, I have no acting skills, everyone knows it after watching it in the theater, let the" who "see it for yourself . "
Guo Xu showed his attitude, even those who can't remember his name are black, what special feelings can he have? He was not interested in hitting that person's face, because he had no time to interact with every cat or dog who hated himself. He was very busy.
After the main actors were interviewed, they stood in a row with other crew members of the crew and took a group photo together. Then the movie was about to start.
