Chapter 552: National rival

Unlike "Dungeon Siege" directed by Uvi Bauer, the publicity and marketing of "Rival of the People" is still based on traditional methods, and almost all the publicity is carried out around Will Smith.
All promotions and advertisements are printed with Will Smith's name or Will Smith's picture.
""The Enemy of the People": Will Smith teaches you three dates to catch true love!"
"Will Smith's first romantic comedy movie is coming soon!"
"You haven't chased the girl you like. Go and watch Will Smith's new film. Will Smith will tell you how to win the love of the girl you like in the shortest time."
Every poster, every advertisement, and every promotional article published by Embassy Pictures is indispensable for Will Smith.
Because, Will Smith in this era represents more than just a person's name.
To say who is the most successful and popular actor in Hollywood, Tywell Smith has absolutely no objection.
Will Smith is now definitely one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, reaching a peak that black actors have never seen in business.
Ronan was interviewed by reporters during the "Nationwide Love Enemy" campaign, and said directly: "I think from beginning to end that there is only one person who can perform this role well, and that is Will Smith!"
In his heart, in the hearts of many fans, Will Smith is now one of Hollywood's brightest stars.
In this era, Will Smith's name is the guarantee of the box office. After the movie starring Will Smith is scheduled, other movies with a scale and intentions will often take the initiative to open Will Smith's schedule.
For example, this weekend before Christmas, North America has only one film with more than 3,000 theaters in North America.
Stimulated by the double insurance of Will Smith and Garonan Anderson, the theaters have opened up to 3650 large-scale cinemas for a romantic comedy movie like "Rivals of the People".
The super sequel film "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which was drawn the previous weekend, has only 3,700 premiere theaters in North America.
At his peak, Will Smith has a magical charm, able to magically turn a bad film into a super-gross film.
Perhaps Ronan, who had seen the experience of Emperor Shi, had a clearer feeling.
The most typical, Will Smith and Charlize Theron once starred in "National Superman Hancock", it is so bad to a certain level, it is successful based on Will Smith's appeal.
Of course, this kind of good thing can't last forever, and the enthusiasm of fans will always disappear.
Regardless of other aspects, Will Smith is a good father and has broken his heart for his son.
Once Will Smith's status and appeal were greatly reduced, and it was inseparable from doing everything possible to support his son.
Presumably, many people still remember that magical "Return to Earth", it is really bad.
After 2010, movie audiences have quietly changed, and the influence and personal appeal of Hollywood stars are also weakening, and the stars who can really fight against the box office are almost extinct.
Will Smith can no longer save a bad movie.
At that time, the actors who once relied on their personal charm to dominate the audience and attracted people to watch "Independence Day" and "Men in Black" on the National Day weekend of the United States, to the point where they may decline without making changes.
What's more, there is a cheating son who hangs behind his anytime, anywhere.
Before Twentieth Century Fox launched "Independence Day 2," the first thing he thought of was not the director Roland Emmerich, but the actor Will Smith. He asked him if he would like to appear in the two parts of "Independence Day" 2. He proposed to pay 50 million US dollars for two films, with a box office share, and bring his son.
I don’t know if it was his son's initiative or Will Smith insisted on doing it. The first two are nothing more. Twentieth Century Fox can agree to it, but Jaden Smith couldn’t stand this 20th Century Fox at all, and finally talked about it. Up.
Also, once Will Smith starred in the DC movie "Suicide Squad", the condition was to let his son star in a DC hero movie, rumored to be "Static Man."
At that time, DC was not easy under the squeeze of Marvel. Warner Bros. was even more afraid of the super poisonous nature of Jaden Smith. He promised Will Smith to let Jaden Smith starring in the heroic movie and there was no news, so Wei Al-Smith withdrew from the "Suicide Squad 2" starring, and Jaden-Smith's heroic dream was so silently shattered.
The strategy of bundling sales between Will Smith and Jaden Smith has allowed filmmakers to stay away from each other, making Will Smith miss many opportunities.
Maybe Will Smith thinks in his heart that as long as Jaden Smith has enough opportunities, he will be able to shine. After all, he is also a monk halfway, isn't he famous in Hollywood?
I'm afraid Will Smith's life regret is not awake that cheating son.
The weekend before Christmas, Embassy Pictures held a huge premiere for "The Enemy of the People", which was placed in the world's largest art venue gathering place-Lincoln Art Center.
On this day, the Lincoln Art Center is full of stars, crowds of movie fans.
Tens of thousands of movie fans have blocked the vicinity of the premiere theater, and almost everyone is a supporter of Will Smith. As a star standing in front of the scene, Will Smith's charm is evident.
In contrast, the heroine Charlize Theron is a bit unknown.
At this moment, if you really want to find a suitable sentence to describe the charm of Will Smith, it is "the enemy of the whole people"!
In the theater hall, Tom Cruise said with emotion: "I really envy Will. The charm of this guy is simply invincible."
Ronan watched the chaos caused by Will Smith walking into the interview area and said, "Will will soon become a new superstar, right?"
Tom Cruise, as one of the few superstars in the circle, undoubtedly has a right to speak, saying: "20 million dollars in salary is a hurdle. If you pass, it means that you have caught the edge of a superstar. Will this Is it the second or third film with a $20 million salary? Including this one, Will has two more films that are very popular. They are definitely recognized superstars in the circle."
Ronan smiled and said: "The second film I collaborated with Will, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" based on real life, will be released this time next year.
"I heard Will mention this film." Tom Cruise said: "You plan to play for the Oscar next year?"
Ronan nodded: "Try it, those old guys have similar attitudes towards you and Will."
Tom Cruise laughed at himself: "No way, who makes us make so much money and has such a big appeal? It's easy to attract people to envy and envy."
Ronan deliberately said, "You really feel good about yourself."
Tom Cruise laughed haha: "This is self-confidence."
Some guests entered the theater one after another, but Ronan and Tom Cruise didn't mean to say hello. The others just cast curious glances and didn't come to bother.
Until the sound of the high heels landing, Tom Cruise turned his head and glanced, and said to Ronan, "I'm going in."
After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for Ronan to reply.
Ronan turned his head to see, Anne Hathaway walked over in a red fishtail evening dress.
"Hi, Ronan." Her mouth pursed into a line and asked deliberately: "Why are you alone?"
Ronan pointed to Tom Cruise: "Tom has something and just left."
Anne Hathaway tilted her head slightly and looked at him: "You know I'm not talking about this."
"I'm a bachelor." Ronan didn't feel a little embarrassed: "Of course I have to be alone."
Anne Hathaway walked over, took his arm, and said with a smile: "Now you are not alone."
Ronan walked to the VIP room with them, and asked as they walked, "Have you picked up a new role recently?"
"No." Anne Hathaway shook her head: "I took the initiative to find my producer, and provided them with youth idol roles like "The Princess Diaries" and "Summer in Jeans" to play some 17 or 18 year olds. Little girl. I'm in my twenties, can't I always play this kind of role? Haven't you told me that the transition must be early.
Ronan nodded: "You have played too many idol movies, which is not good for you."
Anne Hathaway quickly agreed: "I think so too, but it's not easy to find new types of roles, but several independent film studios have asked me to star in art films..."
She looked like she wanted to talk but stopped.
"What's the matter?" Ronan asked very cooperatively.
Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Those art films have very large-scale scenes." She took a special look at Ronan and grasped Ronan's arm, as if thinking about his feelings: Knowing that you don't like it, so I rejected them all~EbookFREE.me~ Ronan suddenly laughed and said deliberately: "Annie, thank you for taking into account my feelings. "
Anne Hathaway lowered her head slightly: "Ronan, I will feel uncomfortable if you are not happy, really!" She leaned into Ronan's ear and whispered, "I just bought an apartment in Manhattan, you still I haven't seen it before. When the premiere is over, can you visit me?"
Ronan certainly wouldn't refuse this invitation: "Well, I haven't felt the atmosphere of a Manhattan apartment yet."
The two walked into the VIP lounge and Ronan greeted some guests, many of whom were previously co-stars or directors, such as James Huang and others who were filming "Death Is Coming 3" in New York.
Half an hour later, the crew of "Rivals of the People" came in one after another. Ronan hugged Will Smith in the past and greeted others.
Then he saw Charlize Theron.
It is hard to imagine that Charlize Theron has returned to a model-like figure.
