On Saturday morning, the pictures published in gossip newspapers such as American Rumor were even more exaggerated, with Kardashian looking like a fan girl about to eat Martin.
Caption: "Kim Kardashian's favorite person."
There are other gossip papers: "Hollywood star Martin Davis, Kim Kardashian's secret crush!"
By creating a popular figure himself and then trying to gain popularity himself, Martin can be considered to have created a new type.
Bruce, an unqualified person, even suggested that Kardashian and Martin enter the same hotel one after another that night.
Fortunately, Martin's quality was a little higher than Lao Bu's and he didn't agree.
In this day and age, no matter how good your work is, it must be coordinated with publicity to bring enough fame.
Even the so-called art schools like Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep will try their best to create news when their works are released.
The crew also released news that during the filming of the film, Martin and the director subdued the giant kangaroo.
For movie promotion and marketing, just blow it as hard as you can.
As soon as the report came out, the North Hollywood apartment was immediately targeted by paparazzi, and the door was directly guarded.
The cost of the wild paparazzi business is very low. Many practitioners do not have any industry certificates. They only need a camera and a broken motorcycle to enter the industry. Los Angeles is full of celebrities. If they take valuable photos, they can sell them to gossip newspapers and magazines in exchange for income.
Antonio usually wanted to sit at the door and bask in the sun. Before the chair could be moved out, the camera shutter sounded, and two small tape recorders were thrust in front of his face.
"Are you the landlord here? Who did Martin Davis spend the night with last night?"
Antonio subconsciously wanted to talk about a bastard named Bruce, but thinking that Old Bruce was always staring at him with ill intentions, he shouted loudly: "You guys should leave quickly, don't get in the way here, this is private property!"
The female dog Jodi sneaks into the apartment building.
Antonio patted his coat: "Whoever dares to break into my house, I will let her know what the gun of friendship is."
Jody stopped quickly when he heard the gun.
The colleagues around me couldn't find anything to ask, so they dispersed and waited patiently.
But Jody came to Antonio and whispered: "Let's talk about a business deal?"
Antonio asked: "What business?"
Jody took out a roll of dollars and said, "You let me in, and I'll take some photos of Martin's place."
Antonio lowered his head and saw that there was a lot of money in the roll, but it was only in denominations of $10.
This point is not in the eyes of millionaires at all: "Warn you, I will call the police."
Jody refused to give up and took out two more volumes: "These are all yours, as long as you help me install surveillance cameras at the door of Martin Davis."
Antonio calculated the rent loss and other risks after the news broke, and said directly: "$50,000, whatever you want."
Jodi was stunned for a while. She had to have $50,000 to do such hard work?
But she didn't give up. She raised her hand and unbuttoned two shirt buttons, revealing a large area of skin: "I'll stay with you for one night."
Antonio originally just looked down on the money, but when he heard what she said, he immediately became alert: "What do you want to do? Conspiracy for my property?"
Jody discovered that the fat man's thinking was completely different from hers.
Antonio suddenly heard a familiar voice above him.
"Landlord, you're not going to talk to the paparazzi about how to sell me, are you?" Martin stood on the roof of the apartment building, looking at Fatty and Jodi, and reminded loudly: "Your house is full of actors. Once your reputation becomes bad, Who will rent your house? Where will you collect your $50,000 monthly rent? The property tax will make you bankrupt!"
Three more tenants showed their heads with beers in their hands.
Antonio warned Jody: "See? If you dare to go in, they will beat you out."
Jody left the place, but stared at the tenants coming in and out.
Naturally, there will be tenants who will be interviewed and reveal relevant information about Martin, but Martin has spent most of the past few months on the set and part of the time at Louise's place, and has not had much interaction with other tenants.
On the roof of the apartment building, Bruce put away the binoculars and said to Martin: "I saw five paparazzi, and the boldest one is the woman."
Martin picked up the binoculars and took a general look: "Wild paparazzi and ordinary gossip newspapers cannot afford the price that makes Antonio's heart beat. When I originally chose this apartment, Antonio has certain assets and a good reputation, which is one of the reasons."
"It's not that the paparazzi and gossip media can't afford it, it's that you're not worth that much." Bruce revealed the cruel truth.
Martin was helpless: "Why did I find a stinky piece of shit like you as my manager?"
Bruce said to himself: "Antonio is not tempted by these small amounts of money, but other tenants may not be tempted."
Martin was already prepared: "Of course we have to sell the most valuable ones ourselves!"
Bruce was not surprised by this, because Martin had done it not once or twice.
Martin waved to the round table on the rooftop, and Emily and Jessica, who were drinking beer under the umbrella, immediately ran over.
"Continue to get good reviews on the website?" Emily was very positive: "We will go back right away."
Martin waved his hand: "You have helped me a lot in the past two days."
Jessica said first: "You bought us a beer."
Martin is a generous person: "I'll give you some reward."
Emily said before Jessica: "No, really, I can help you with something..."
"Listen to me." Martin raised his hand to interrupt her: "I haven't actually lived in the apartment for a long time. What can attract the attention of paparazzi and gossip magazines?"
Emily was still thinking, but Jessica had already reacted: "I often bring one or two women back, which makes the whole building so noisy that I can't sleep well at night."
Martin waved his hand: "Go downstairs and sell this news to the paparazzi. No matter how much you sell, it will be yours."
He asked in passing: "You know what to say?"
Jessica nodded: "I know, you are very powerful, and few women are no match for you..."
"Very good." Martin urged: "Hurry up and don't let anyone take your business away."
Jessica pulled Emily downstairs, as if preparing to go shopping, and soon attracted the Jodi.
"Martin, he is our neighbor." Jessica is younger than Emily, but has a more active mind: "Occasionally he will chat with us."
Jodi asked: "Can you tell me more specifically? What did he talk about and what outrageous things did he do?"
Jessica stared at the paparazzi: "It's not impossible to say..."
Jody understood, took out two 10 dollar bills and handed them over: "These are yours."
Emily subconsciously wanted to answer, but Jessica quietly pulled her back: "Very exciting news, related to women. We are his neighbors, so we know about it."
Jodi took out two more pictures. Seeing that the girl, who was so fair and reflective, was still not satisfied, he simply gave the remaining pictures in the roll: "The news about Martin Davis is worth this."
In her eyes, the news about Martin Davis is only worth US$100 at most. This is because of the overwhelming response to the opening of "Horror House of Wax Museum" and the added popularity of Kim Kardashian last night.
Jessica collected the money: "Martin often brings a few women back. I don't know the specifics, but no matter how many he brings, Martin can make them sing all night. The sound insulation of the apartment is not very good, and noisy people cannot sleep. The landlord Several times I almost shot down Martin’s door with a gun.”
Jodi became interested immediately: "Are any of those women famous? For example, the Kardashians? Eliza Cuthbert?"
Jessica shook her head: "Not sure, I don't know him."
There was no valuable news later, and Jodi gave up on Jessica and Emily.
Looking back at the two people's backs, she suddenly thought of an idea and picked up the camera to take a photo of their North Hollywood apartment as their back view.
Compared with many of his colleagues in the future, Jody had a little more professionalism, and was at least prepared to look at pictures and write articles.
She quickly sketched out the news frame in her mind: the young actor who won the Saturn Award for Best Newcomer began to indulge himself, bringing women back for carnivals every night, and sometimes even roped in two beautiful neighbors to join in. Because he was too capable, the noise caused a lot of noise around him. The tenant was dissatisfied and the landlord shot him...
Jodi mainly works in the area of online entertainment news and knows the importance of headlines.
After the frame was outlined, the title automatically appeared: Shocking, the most handsome man in Hollywood is actually him!
Jessica and Emily drove around for a while and soon returned to the apartment building.
Emily said: "We each have half the money?"
Jessica said as she went upstairs: "We'll talk about it later."
She was young but had a good idea. She went up to the roof of the apartment building and placed 10 US dollars on the table in front of Martin.
Of course Martin won't want it: "I said, this is your reward, take it."
Jessica picked it up, pointed out five to Emily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Martin, whatever you want to eat for lunch, I'll treat you."
Martin didn't refuse, and pointed down: "There are too many paparazzi, so Lao Bu and I won't go out. It's still early. Just wait until 11 o'clock to buy some fried chicken burgers or something like that."
A hit movie can always bring out a series of news and create new stars.
On the first day of its opening in North America, the Wax Museum took in a box office of US$7.23 million, beating out the two films of the same period, American Soldier and Dance, to win the day's box office championship.
On the following two days, Saturday and Sunday, it still topped the North American box office chart.
Three days after the opening weekend, including advance box office, the Wax Museum took in US$20.13 million in the first weekend, which was higher than the US$15 million box office expectations of Warner Bros. and the North American Theater Alliance.
As a traditional North American murder horror film, it has a mediocre reputation. The IMDB audience score is only 6.3. The Cinema Score, which best reflects the market response, gave the film a B on-site audience score, which is not bad.
Cinema Score officially predicts that the film's North American box office will be around US$50 million.
The overseas box office of similar American horror films is often not much different from the North American box office, which means that the global box office of the Wax Museum is expected to hit US$100 million.
The disclosed production cost of the film is an exaggerated US$40 million, with most of the funds coming from various platters.
Martin would not be stupid enough to inquire about the real investment, but the director Zomi mentioned it vaguely after drinking. He estimated that the total production, promotion and distribution of the Wax Museum would not cost more than 40 million US dollars.
Martin was not surprised to see Louise playing platter next to her. The 7,000 yuan straw hat must have been leftover from playing here.
The incident that caused a lot of speculation about Leonardo DiCaprio in his previous life would not be an exception in Hollywood.
