Chapter 520 Completely Different Word of Mouth and Box Office

Since the birth of Hollywood, I don’t know how many beautiful female stars have hated Oscars. Beautiful blond hair, sexy figure and delicate face have almost become the biggest obstacle to winning awards.

But the world will never lack smart women. Playing ugly is undoubtedly the best way for female movie stars to break through their inherent image, and there are not a few people who rely on this method to become Oscar queens.

Of course, compared to the award-winning actresses, there are countless actresses who pretend to be ugly. Playing ugly is just a means to break the inherent image. If there is no detailed portrayal and grasp of the role, winning the award is still nonsense.

Being ugly is just a means.

Ryan sat sideways on the edge of the bed, holding a plate full of breakfast in his hand, next to a thick stack of newspapers, This is just to conform to the image of the character, not to win the sympathy of the judges.

Charlize, who was resting on his lap, showed beautiful curves, and was as lazy as a golden cat. She opened her mouth and said vaguely while enjoying the breakfast served by Ryan, I know, Playing other people is just what an actor does.

After finishing speaking, he wiped the oil stains on Ryan's home clothes, Honey, I want to hear the comments of those people, can you read it to me?

Happy to help, Your Highness the Princess. Ryan gently pinched her face, put down the plate, and picked up the newspaper next to her.

An actress who is famous in Hollywood for her vase image, after she just launched a beautiful elf princess who is popular all over the world, she suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which is still very successful no matter how you look at it , One can only imagine the repercussions caused by the media and critics.

In order to more realistically shape the complex character and emotional world of the female murderer Irene Wuornos, the famous beauty star Charlize Theron sacrificed her beauty. She gained 30 pounds at the same time. Through makeup Changed her appearance. Gone was the gleaming blond starlet, replaced by a vulgar streetwoman with yellow teeth, freckles, and a muscular body like a professional boxer.

Ryan opened the Los Angeles Times first. The headline of the entertainment section was the news about Devil Head. Leaving aside the reviews of the film, he read directly the part about Charlize. Miss Theron's performance is spot on, she's brilliant every second, what a brave and powerful performance it was.

Oh, it sounds really good. Charlize smiled brightly. His face was buried in Ryan's belly.

Although there were endless praises from the media in the past, they basically focused on her beautiful appearance.

New York Times.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Ryan immediately changed it, In addition to fully expressing the rude appearance that Irene Wuornos showed the world in court, Theron also injected a soft side into the character , like a beast that has been fighting for years, occasionally stopping for a moment to lick its wounds. She just rightly shows the pain and damage those Wunos have endured. It also makes the whole film show rich layers. She is excellent The performance of the film injects enough vitality into this mediocre film.

Keep going!

Rolling over, Charlize climbed into Ryan's lap. Acting like a little girl begging for candy, Honey, please continue?

Of course. Ryan nodded, then picked up the New York Post, which had a somewhat sensational commentary, If those notoriously picky and dull Oscar judges could come out and take a good look at The Devil , they will know who to vote for the best actress of the year.

And... wow, this is even more exaggerated.

Before Charlize could respond, Ryan picked up another newspaper, Miss Theron's performance in The Devil is the most outstanding performance in the history of world film and television. If this role does not win the best Oscar Actress award, then this award should be cancelled.

The shooter you were looking for? Charlize looked up and looked over.

Definitely not. Ryan spread his hands and said, This is Roger Albert's film review. He also gave two thumbs up. It's not for the film, but for you.

This is really...

Charlize simply sat up, Am I really that good?

Better than you think. Ryan kissed her eyes lightly. Honey, that's not a compliment.

Film critics can also be publicized, but at this stage Roger Ebert wants money, money, and fame. If he wants to influence him, he must spend a lot of resources. Instead of using these resources on one person, Might as well do a larger public relations.

So, Ryan didn't put anyone in touch with the famous film critic.

However, this relatively impartial film critic obviously appreciates Charlize's performance, and his film reviews have a lot of influence on many judges who can only vote with their feet.

This can be regarded as a windfall.

Honey, trust me.

From the moment the film was released, a powerful public relations machine was activated, and Ryan also believed in the power of this role, You will sweep the entire awards season and conquer the jury of all awards.

But before that, I want to conquer you first.

Those watery eyes showed how excited Charlize was. She pulled Ryan over, pinned him down, untied the tie of her home clothes, and buried her head at the bottom.

Although the quality of the film can only be regarded as above-average, especially the portrayal of Irene Wuornos and the homosexual plot, which has attracted a lot of criticism, but Charlize's performance in it has been unanimously praised by the critics, even though Not as exaggerated as Roger Ebert, but I also think that Irene Wuoros is definitely the most outstanding female character on the screen in recent years.

After the film was released, the entire crew, including South African diamonds, changed their previous low-key status and launched a huge publicity campaign with the assistance of relevant teams.

Ryan also mobilized all available resources to build momentum for Charlize.

The interview of the Los Angeles Times, the talk show on the TV station, the party hosted by Ryan, all these can see Charlize's active figure.

After staying by Ryan's side for so long, she is no longer the Charlize Theron she used to be. With her skillful communication skills and gradually honed skills, she has also become a member of the Hollywood superstructure that cannot be ignored.

Most of a film like this depends on the performance of the actor who plays the central character, so I thought I had to show her cruelty and sensitivity through and through.

Later, Charlize appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair, and she said very cleverly in the interview, Irene Wuornos is definitely not innocent, and the film is not defending her, we just want to explore, what is it? Because of this reason, she became a murderous demon, how can we avoid similar tragedies from happening in the future.

These remarks, which were clearly in line with mainstream social views, received unanimous praise from major media afterwards, which added a lot of impression points to her.

Compared with the praise received by Charlize, the box office of The Devil can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The film landed in North America with 500 theaters. In the first week, the results were mediocre, with a box office of more than 3.9 million U.S. dollars. In the second week, the number of theaters increased to more than 650, and the box office also increased. The online party has reduced the scale of the screening in a large range.

However, no matter where the movie's audience is, even with the upsurge of hype and overwhelming word-of-mouth, The Devil can't change the essence of a niche film, and the box office in the third week is still only more than 4 million US dollars.

The production cost of The Devil is not high, only 10 million US dollars, and correspondingly, the publicity and public relations fees are as high as 15 million US dollars.

Bribing elections is almost impossible for the current Oscar, and Ryan will not do that. Given Charlize's current conditions, it will be difficult to reach the top again in the future. Let her have a good time this time.

Ryan's goal is not just the Oscars, he wants Charlize to sweep the awards season for Best Actress!

The Internet has become an indispensable part of life and entertainment in North America. In addition to traditional media, the public relations team will also not let go of this position.

Excellent performance! Miss Theron!

Suffocating performance! This is the best candidate for Best Actress!

Great makeup, amazing acting!

There are countless news like this on the Internet, such things as navy can be seen everywhere, and the most important thing is that the cost is much lower than traditional media.

Of course, there are many spontaneous discussions among netizens.

Irene Wuornos seems to be the true character of Charlize. I am really worried about Ryan. I think everyone should know that he is a playboy now. If Charlize, who also had a tragic experience as a girl, can't bear it one day , will you pull out a revolver?

Since Ryan's self-deception, there have been more and more gossip about him, and the objects are no longer limited to Nicole and others. Those female stars who have friendship have become the protagonists, even Scarlett, who was just sixteen years old. ? Johnson has been pulled into the long list of horrors by the media.

In this way, the firepower of the tabloids was relatively dispersed, at least there was no concentrated attack on Nicole.

Compared with the vigorous publicity of The Devil, Nicole's latest film Moulin Rouge is temporarily low-key. The official release date of this film is after the New Year, and only two screenings were held in two theaters in Los Angeles before Christmas. , to qualify for the Oscars.

However, whether it is The Devil and Moulin Rouge, or other movies, they are destined not to become the protagonists of the Christmas schedule. During the schedule, he became the only protagonist who deserved it.

The premiere of the film was held in London. This time, not only the UK and the US were screened simultaneously, but also English-speaking regions such as Australia and New Zealand were also included.

Ryan temporarily handed over the work to others and flew to London with Nicole and Taylor. ()
