Chapter 525: The honey self-confidence of the crew of "Pearl Harbor"
May 24.
11 am.
There is only one day left before the film "Pearl Harbor" is officially released in North America. No, to be precise, there are less than a dozen hours left.
The actor Ben Affleck, who played the leading role in the film, dragged his exhausted body back home and took a leisurely rest.
"Ben, in accordance with the instructions of the Disney Group, you must participate in the recording of a talk show on ABC TV at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The purpose is to further promote the movie "Pearl Harbor". Therefore, you don't have a lot of rest time today. "The male agent said.
"Okay, I know!"
Ben Affleck said impatiently at this moment: "God! I have not slept more than 5 hours a day after more than a dozen days. I am either doing a TV talk show, accepting interviews with reporters, or following. The crew of "Pearl Harbor" ran publicity..."
"Take today as an example..."
"I got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and flew back to Los Angeles from San Francisco. I just got off the plane and didn’t eat breakfast. I accepted interviews from three media and two outdoor publicity activities in Los Angeles. It’s non-stop. It’s rare to have the rest time now, in the afternoon...and ABC TV interviews?!"
Ben Affleck kept complaining and was overwhelmed with bitterness.
Hearing this, the agent said with earnest heart: "Ben, you are now in a critical period of ascendancy. You have to work a hundred times more than others. Don't forget, how much did you pay for the movie "Pearl Harbor"?"
Ben Affleck: "......"
At this moment, the future star in "DC: Justice League" Batman Bruce Wayne, he is silent.
For the movie "Pearl Harbor", he really paid a lot.
In the early stage of filming, he received a lot of pilot training, which lasted for a full month, and he lost 7 kilograms.
The most important thing is that in order to win the role of the hero in "Pearl Harbor", he took the initiative to give up the high pay!
According to Ben Affleck’s current market quotation, his pay for the leading actor is roughly 10,000 U.S. dollars.
But, what about the leading actor in "Pearl Harbor"?
His remuneration is only a meager 2 million US dollars, and there is no box office share!
Actress Kate Beckinsale, the heroine of the film "Pearl Harbor", also has her own remuneration, only 1.5 million U.S. dollars, which is far lower than her real offer.
Hehe~
Disney's stingy and stingy are also famous in Hollywood!
"Well, Dan, you leave first, I need to rest for a while." Affleck waved his hand to let his agent leave.
He feels too tired.
Agent Dan nodded: "Well, you should pay more attention to rest. I will pick you up at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
Dingdong~dingdong~dingdong~
At this moment, the doorbell of the Affleck Villa door rang.
"Uh...who? It's Matt!!!"
Affleck, who was originally listless and even a little upset, saw the incoming person clearly through the monitoring screen.
——Matt Damon!
A well-known thing in Hollywood, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are a pair of good friends who have a very strong relationship.
"Matt is here, I'll go to meet him."
Now Affleck is still a little bit exhausted, and his whole person is full of excitement.
The agent Dan has left;
Good friend Matt Damon came in.
......
"Ben, we are good friends and good brothers, so I am here to remind you that when you promote "Pearl Harbor", try to mention Wald Pictures' film "District Nine" as little as possible, even if the host With media reporters, deliberately creating conflicts, you can't directly slander and belittle the movie "District Nine", OK?" Matt Damon warned.
"Why?"
Affleck frowned.
To raise oneself, to tout one's own movies, and to belittle other movies released during the same period, this is a consistent propaganda routine of Hollywood movies.
Matt Damon said solemnly: "Man, don't forget, the boss of Wald Pictures is Mr. Zhuke Wald."
Zuke?
Hearing this name, Affleck blurted out: "How about that?!"
Matt Damon shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have known and contacted Mr. Zucker Wald a long time ago. Don't look at him always smiling and looking harmless, but he is a very vengeful man. Guy. You can say what's wrong with the movie "District Nine", but it must not be made out of nothing, otherwise, according to what I know about him, he will definitely take measures afterwards.
Take revenge! ! !
Affleck frowned and said, "Is he so bad?"
"Yes, even more grudges than I said." Matt Damon solemnly said.
Thinking~
However, less than ten seconds passed, Affleck's brows stretched completely, and he laughed and said, "Man, it's not as serious as you said."
Matt Damon said heavily, "Ben, don’t take this seriously, I won’t lie to you."
"I know, I know."
Affleck waved his hand perfunctorily, and said in a relaxed tone: "Well, regardless of him, anyway, tomorrow, I will star in the movie "Pearl Harbor" that will crush "District Nine" severely. Just like a director. What Michael Bay said: How much can a science fiction film with a production cost of only $30 million do?"
confident!
very confident!
Affleck, who participated in the filming of the movie "Pearl Harbor", believes very much in his ability to star in the movie.
The goal of director Michael Bay was never Wald Pictures’ new film "District Nine", but "Titanic", which broke the box office record of film history.
Affleck smiled at Matt Damon and said, "Man, look okay. Once the movie "Pearl Harbor" is released, my status will rise to a higher level. Popularity around the world is definitely not an empty talk. You can go ahead."
Honey confident?
Matt Damon was not so optimistic, and smiled bitterly: "I hope so."
......
3 pm.
Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, the actress who played the lead, jointly attended a talk show on ABC TV under the Disney Group, focusing on the promotion of the movie "Pearl Harbor."
As expected...
The host of the show asked many sensitive topics in order to create topics ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
Although Ben Affleck is full of honey and self-confidence, he has listened to the warnings of his brother Matt Damon more or less, and there is not much mention of Wald Pictures' film " ninth District".
However... Kate Beckinsale, who plays the heroine, has a much sharper rhetoric.
"You asked me Wald Pictures' new film "District Nine"?"
"Sorry, how ugly can a film cost only 30 million US dollars? Oh, at least I think it can't be compared with "Pearl Harbor" at all."
"Wold Pictures are strong?"
"The movie "The Ninth District" is the beginning of their fall from the altar and become mortal!"
Is your mouth unobstructed?
Brainless?
Hehe~ Kate Beckinsale doesn't care at all, she is convinced that after the movie "Pearl Harbor" is released, he will be completely popular around the world.
As for offending Zhuke?
She really doesn't care at all. It is better than anything to please Disney Group, the sponsor.
Well, that's so confident!
During the recording of the show, Kate Beckinsale glanced at Affleck contemptuously, and smiled secretly: "What a cowardly man, he doesn't even dare to say mere criticisms, nothing!"
The first update of "" is sent.
