[Comprehensive] Tom Sue can be summoned by doing enough cannon fodder 99 times

The dark horse of this season's box office, "The Twilight Saga", was finally officially released in late February, ending his frenzied sweep.

However, when people turn their attention to the final box office of this movie, the North American box office is 3000 million, and the global box office is 9000 million.

Perhaps this figure is not as good as that of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter", which can earn at least 5000 million at the local box office.But the most important thing about movies is the rate of return. For example, the former has a large investment of hundreds of millions, and the main actors are all expensive and bound for dividends. However, "Twilight" is an intermediate production with an investment of only [-] million. Excluding the part of the dividend that Alex talked about, all the actors' salaries are too cheap, even after deducting a lot of publicity expenses, and Summit Entertainment has released words early, "Twilight" It is going to be made into a four-part series, which will guarantee their continuous financial resources in the next few years. In short, the money earned by this film for Summit Entertainment is enough to make them change from the days of tightening their belts to the one that dares to covet the seven major movies now. The company, even gave birth to the courage to try to become a super player like them.

And it is not only the film company that has benefited, the actors of this film, even the supporting roles, have gained a lot of popularity by taking advantage of this shareholder wind, and this popularity has brought them new opportunities, as if they are still continuing their work. Jackson, the host of the Disney Children's Channel, once joked on the show: "In the past, maybe only children could call me by my name, but now older children will scream excitedly when they see me." , saying 'I know you, you're from the Cullens, you're Edward's brother—'"

And Jackson, who is only a supporting role, made jokes with jokes, which helped him get a prominent position in the reports of many news websites, not to mention Alex Pollin and Ellie Hawk as the protagonists.However, Ellie Hawke, who plays Bella, does not have the crazy popularity of Alex, mainly because her role will not be as lovable and popular as Alex, and she is officially released in "Twilight". Afterwards, the paparazzi exposed the fact that Ellie was dating his boyfriend, which would somewhat affect Ellie personally.

However, since Alex and Ellie didn't listen to their PR's hope that they would pretend to be a couple to jointly hype, this matter didn't hurt much after all, and even the summit didn't express anything to Ellie's carelessness, and was rejected. One of the two best couples on screen has made their relationship public first, which of course will have an impact on a movie that mainly sells the love of the two protagonists, but the sequel to the "Twilight Saga" will soon Filming won't start until next year. In such a long period of time, the timeliness of news will always dissipate these negative effects.

And even after the release, people's attention to Alex has not diminished. The reason is that Summit Entertainment soon launched another youth film "Dancing Out of My Life" produced by them. Tom, who has just gained popularity from "Football Stunner", is an inspirational song and dance drama with Alex as a supporting role. This small-cost movie with an investment of only 2000 million finally ushered in 5000 million for the peak. million-dollar box office.

But unfortunately, word of mouth is not good, not only among filmmakers, but also among ordinary audiences. When I walked into the movie theater for Alex, I found that Alex’s common role was just a cameo, but there are still many people who are satisfied just watching Alex’s 10-minute handsome dance scene in the movie, What's more, as the leading actor, Channing Tatum is also very eye-catching, isn't it.

It's just that when people question why Alex took another film of the same type and think that his choice is not so wise, those who are interested can find out that the biggest investor in this youth film is actually Alex Pollin .

In fact, before Alex left for South Boston, Rob revealed that he intends to cooperate with him on a youth film. Of course, according to Alex's current appeal, even if he shoots a piece of shit, someone will go look.It should be said that Rob is indeed a shrewd capitalist who came out of Paramount. In short, in order for the two parties to cooperate smoothly in the future, Alex promised him that he would still play a supporting role, and then select the script and actor for Rob.

How should I put it, because of the power of "Twilight", Rob is still a little skeptical about Alex's confidence, but after Alex proposed that he would transfer the peak to his account, he has been delaying The rest of the dividends were simply invested in this movie, and Rob felt a little bit moved.

From a certain point of view, Alex is tantamount to giving up that part of the dividend. If he picks a bad movie and makes a loss-making deal, and for Fengfeng, he would have given up that part of the dividend. If the money is handed over, it won't fall into their hands anyway, but if the movie Alex picked becomes a big hit again-thinking of this, Rob agreed to Alex's request, but he also has a The premise is that Alex must play, and they will use Alex as the main publicity.

In short, with the efforts of Alex's well-prepared team this time, a result that both parties were satisfied with was finally reached, but when they saw "Dancing Out of My Life", this one was single-handedly selected by Alex. Sure enough, his script was a big hit again, and when it gave them extremely high feedback again, Rob couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

But now everyone in Hollywood has a consensus that Alex's luck is so good that it explodes. Judging from the current trend, not only the movies he starred in can get extremely high box office, but even the movies he chooses The same goes for the movie.

So, before Alex's good luck disappears, and before other film companies are constantly poaching, they are always ready to successfully tie Alex to their battleship with more attractive conditions , Rob had to stop his small actions, and became more and more friendly with Alex. Although the latter was a little irritated by Rob's small thoughts, there was no way. This is Hollywood, and there are only eternal interests, no Enemies forever, that was the first lesson Hollywood taught Alex.

"Now Disney still hasn't given up—" Irving was talking to Alex on the phone about Disney's plan to invite him to join the new musical they are planning. After all, after seeing the box office hit of "Dancing Out of My Life" , They are the big boys of the youth musical. Disney couldn't sit still, seized a ready-made opportunity, and threw an olive branch to Alex, "They said that you can choose the director and other actors, and even allow you Bring money into the group, as long as you are willing to play one of their leading men..."

Alex walked through the theater with his phone in his hand, and many passers-by greeted him with a smile, and Alex who was talking on the phone also smiled back: "But you know I don't want to, I want to It wasn’t for Rob, who was cunning and cunning, he had set us up a long time ago, and I wouldn’t think of using this to counter him—”

Speaking of this, Owen still finds it inconceivable: "How can you choose "Dancing Out of My Life" from it, and choose Channing Tatum from those actors who auditioned—?"

Of course, Alex only answered what he could answer: "Because he also worked as a model, and I also worked as a model, I like models!" After finishing speaking, he noticed the strange eyes of the people around him, Alex Kex couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Owen laughed speechlessly: "Well boy, there will always be a day when you tell me the truth-in short, I know what you mean, and I will reject Disney's proposal this time, but keep it. Priority to work with them next time."

"Thanks—" After hanging up the phone, Alex obediently sat in front of Katie and asked Katie to touch up his makeup.

"Honey, how was the first day of filming?" Katie laughed.

Alex shrugged: "Not bad—"

In fact, when Alex received a call from Martin Scorsese himself for the first time, his first reaction was, who tailored a fraud trap for him?And after finally confirming that the person on the other end of the conversation was indeed Martin himself, Alex also honestly told Martin his feelings, and unexpectedly, Martin let out a burst of hearty and hearty words on the other end of the phone laugh.

Although when mentioning Martin Scorsese, people usually think of Western films and Coppola family-style gangster images. In his masterpieces such as "Goodfellas", "Mean Streets", and "Gangs of New York", people You can see countless violent expressions, brain bursting, and mad dog fighting, but different from the stimulating expressions in his movies, Martin personally gives people the impression that he has a pair of iconic thick eyebrows, which are funny and humorous. A friendly little old man.

Martin, who is also known as the Big Four of New Hollywood with Coppola, Lucas, and Sperberg, his status in Hollywood is self-evident, let alone the American-style expression in his movies, which has become a A kind of milestone mark, so Alex felt that Martin should not have called him.

"At the very least... I should find a way to get an interview opportunity, then try my best to express myself, and then ask Leo about your preferences, in short, I must let you see my sincerity... "

For Alex's exaggerated expression, Martin laughed again, and even Leonardo, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but frowned at Alex.

"It's nothing, child, you have expressed your sincerity to me now." Martin said with a smile.

Compared with Leonardo, who can be said to have become his familiar face, Martin's decision to choose Alex is not so difficult. This has a certain coincidence. He rarely watches TV, but Alec The episode of "The Tonight Show" on which Stella was on had his own broadcast channel, and Martin, who was sitting in the car, just heard this.

He heard Alex quietly telling the story of his friend Cliff. Martin closed his eyes and dozed in the back seat. It was a gloomy day outside the window. previous story.Martin thought of his childhood. He had asthma as a child, and he was not allowed to do anything that might aggravate his condition, so he could only stay indoors most of the time. He was not a person like Cliff. Bring him the show, but he can watch those black and white movies by himself.

But on this rainy day, Martin still remembered Alex's name. Later, he went to see him playing Kyle. He had thought about how to shape Alex in his hands, but imagined He can't help but think badly about Alex. There's nothing he can do about it. Alex's temperament is too pure and clean. He's like a carefree young man full of enthusiasm and ideals. Noble, but Martin still doesn't think Alex is suitable for his movie, and there is no role for him.

It's just that when Martin accidentally saw a clip in "Twilight", the scene where Edward showed his vampire nature and became manic and gloomy, and even made people tremble, there was a voice in Martin's heart at that time, it was him, it was him Suitable for the role of Colin in "The Departed".

A gangster in a neighborhood, an undercover undercover who entered the police station.He disguised himself as an elite, but under the teaching of his underworld adoptive father, he always carried the sinister side of those gangsters, but he used his strong perseverance to restrain himself and wear such a mask lived for decades.

The background of the story happened in Boston in the south, so in order to restore the story as much as possible, they also moved the crew to Boston. At this moment, the location of their filming is an abandoned building that is about to be demolished, and not far away is the local It is a slum, so the atmosphere here is still very strong, the kind of atmosphere that is not very safe and always feels like someone is fighting on the street.

In the morning, we mainly shoot some shots of long shots and group performances. In the afternoon, we actually start shooting the first scene of Alex and Leonardo, just like their test scene in the building that day. Martin hopes that both of them will keep This kind of shocking confrontation made the last scene in the movie reveal their identities to each other, but the anger and resentment, and even faintly aware of the sad scene controlled by fate, became more emotionally explosive. .

Leonardo was sitting on the fence made of stone bricks on the roof, wearing a light blue shirt, Alex in a formal suit walked over, he looked at Leonardo, it seemed that at this moment he was the one who put all the real The hypocritical senior police officer who has hidden all his thoughts and lived under a mask for so many years: "Do you remember what you told me that day?"

Leonardo, who played the role of a gangster, entered the police academy as a real undercover agent to change his bad life. He took down the cigarette from his mouth and leaned over to spit the smoke ring on Alex's face. He hooked The corner of the mouth: "sure—"

And Martin, who was adjusting the camera not far away, looked at this scene, and there was a surge in his heart. He couldn't help but said to his old buddy, Paul, who was also his queen screenwriter for many years: "Let's start!" , I seem to be impatient—”

Allen came out of the room scratching his head and saw his cousin Anna in the living room watching his recorded episode of "The Ellen Show" featuring Alex and the rest of the "Twilight" cast, At this moment, Allen asked Alex enthusiastically: "I saw that big house, especially Edward's room, which is full of books, and you, like Edward, prefer to use these paper products Hold it in your hand?"

"Actually, Edward and I have completely opposite personalities..."

As if she couldn't get used to Alex's hesitation, Ellie couldn't help but said: "That's right, he doesn't like reading books very much, he only competes with me for the TV downstairs, and only watches that one show. Don't rush to be happy, it's not your show, Ellen, it's "Billiver's Wife"..."

The audience was very cooperative and made an uproar. Alex could only pretend to be stupid, trying to let Ellie bring this topic to the past. Everyone knows that "Billiver's Wife" is a film about a wealthy woman living in that rich area. The reality show of the ladies' daily life, Ellie continued: "Especially when those ladies want to argue about whose makeup looks better today, Alex can't help but try to join them outside the TV..."

"Hey, you'll make me feel a little weird if you say that!" Alex put his hands on his hips at the moment, making that kind of expression that dramaqueen always has, which is very difficult to deal with at first sight.It's just that he does this, but it doesn't make people feel bad or disgusting, it just makes him more cute.

Allen fell on the sofa for a while before straightening up with a smile: "Okay, okay, it seems that I have to learn a little bit, so that Alex can fall in love with my show..."

Seeing that his cousin's laughter completely overshadowed the sound of the TV, Allen said a little irritably, "Hey, what are you doing here? The key my mother gave you? Shouldn't you be at school?"

"I only have an internship left this semester, Alan—" Anna said quickly without even looking behind her, "So I don't plan to stay in Los Angeles anymore, I want to come back here—"

"Okay then, I hope you don't come here to chase stars." However, Alan didn't seem to have any qualifications to talk about his cousin. After he finished washing and took a few slices of toast, he sat directly in front of the computer. He was used to Browsing through the latest movie information, naturally, the set photos of "The Departed" starring Leonardo and Alex attracted his attention.

At the beginning, it was only Alex or Leonardo standing aside listening to Martin's play, which was very in line with the usual photos of the scene, but it was the last one.

With the gray sky and dilapidated buildings in Boston as the background, Leonardo was wearing a baggy and even old-fashioned jacket, which was opened to reveal his shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned inside. He sat bent over On the guardrail, his hair, which was dyed dirty blond, was a little disheveled by the wind. He held his cigarette in one hand, but he couldn't help but lean towards the person beside him.

Compared with Leonardo's slovenly appearance, Alex is wearing a clean and tidy formal suit. His light blue shirt seems to be the only bright color in this picture. His two straight long legs are wrapped in his suit In his pants, his back was straight. Facing Leonardo's provocative gesture of approaching him, Alex's face was so deep that no one could guess what he was thinking. He pursed his lips with that forbearing expression , like the resurrection of an extinct volcano.

These two people stood together, clearly separated, as if they were in two completely different worlds, yet they reached a wonderful harmony in this gray and cold dusk that made people feel depressed at this moment.In short, no matter who sees this live photo, they can't help sighing, it's really emotional, that kind of decadence blows over the face, and it's suffocating beauty.

Slam the page shut.

"No, you can't come up with the idea that they are actually a good match—" Allen shook his head, "I have to read some pornographic stories about Alex and the captain."
