As if premeditated, overnight, many reports praising Martin Davis, the leading actor in the Wax Museum, appeared in many gossip media.
The film's first-week box office exceeded expectations, so Martin naturally wanted to be the absolute leading actor.
And he fought for justice.
In the living room of the villa, Louise stood in front of the bar, poured a glass of wine and asked, "How much did it cost?"
Martin roughly said: "Those gossip newspapers did not cost much, and they were not on the front page. The most important Hollywood report was the resource Thomas applied for from the company."
Louise pushed him a glass of whiskey: "The leading actor who is number one in the box office, WMA will give him a push, it's normal."
Martin clinked glasses with her: "Celebrate me."
Louise chuckled: "Celebrating your becoming a little star."
Martin drank his glass of wine: "From a producer's perspective, am I worth a million dollars now?"
Louise would not mislead Martin, and said directly: "It's not worth it. The reason is simple. You are not the leading protagonist in the wax museum. If A Eye in the Mountain can get such a box office, your salary must be one million US dollars."
Martin knew that the risks were proportional to the rewards.
The protagonist bears the serious consequences of failure and naturally enjoys the greatest dividends of success.
Louise poured another glass of wine: "Tonight's wine tastes particularly good."
Martin said: "Because this movie platter will help you make money." He said shamelessly: "To be honest, I envy Mene. Once Paris agrees, his life will be worry-free. Rich woman, support me. I really don’t want to fight anymore.”
Louise took out a box and pushed it to Martin: "Take a look."
Martin was surprised: "Do you still need to sign an agreement? I don't think it's necessary. What's mine is yours..."
Louise said: "Shut up and take a look first."
Martin opened the black box. Inside was a mobile phone. The battery on the back cover was as thick as a brick.
He had seen similar things before. The former copycat phone was said to have a one-month standby time.
"Sent to me?" Martin wondered.
Facts have proved that Louise is also good at playing: "There is no problem in making calls on this mobile phone for half the night."
Martin understood immediately: "You need to call Kelly."
Louise stretched out her long fingers and raised Martin's chin frivolously: "The film you starred in won the box office championship. You must call your former boss who supported you and let her enjoy this joy together, are you right? "
Martin was convinced: "Let's go upstairs and call Kelly."
A few minutes later, Kelly Gray, who was far away in Atlanta, cursed 10,000 times in her mind and turned on her phone to play music.
…………
The next morning, Martin called Bruce and drove Mene straight to the prison where Paris Hilton was imprisoned.
Today is the big day for Paris to be released from prison.
Of course, the crew would not miss this delicious big cake and communicated with Mene in advance.
"Boss, do you think I'm okay?" Menei asked, holding flowers in his hand.
Martin looked at him carefully, then helped Mene straighten his tie, and said: "Very handsome, an absolute killer of middle-aged and elderly women."
Bruce said: "We're almost there. There are so many people and cars that we can't get through."
In the empty field in front of the prison, countless media reporters and paparazzi gathered, as well as several TV stations, who simply drove over with their broadcast trucks.
Mene asked: "Will she not leave here?"
"She will definitely come here. Susan has communicated with her in advance." Martin said: "Believe me, she will not give up this opportunity to make herself more famous."
Susan had already communicated with Paris's agent, and Paris had been convinced, knowing that she had only one way to bottom out and rebound.
Bruce pressed the car horn, but the person in front refused to give way.
Martin patted Mene: "Lower the window glass and expose your head, and those bastards will automatically give way."
Mene opened the car window, showed his head and shouted: "Guys, don't delay my proposal, okay?"
Many reporters and paparazzi turned their heads and looked over. Seeing Uncle Mene's fiery face, they gave way very consciously and helped to shout to the people in front of them to get out of the way and not block Uncle Mene's way.
Bruce drove smoothly to the door and turned around: "Man, come on."
Martin took out a box and handed it to Mene: "In case she agrees, don't forget to wear a ring."
Mene opened the box and found a big pigeon egg: "Boss, this..."
Martin said: "Don't worry, it's fake. Paris doesn't want it. You keep it for the next one."
Mene scratched his head: "If she really agrees to wear a fake diamond ring, it won't be good."
"It's okay." Martin came up with a bad idea: "She has to agree and let her pay for it, and you can buy a real one."
Mene agreed: "That makes sense."
Martin glanced at his watch: "The time is almost up, let's go."
On the next occasion, he and Lao Bu won't steal Mene's limelight.
Mene got out of the car, straightened his suit, straightened his tie, picked up a bouquet of roses, and strode towards the prison door.
At this moment, the focus of dozens of cameras and camera lenses was all on Mene!
Mene stood more than ten meters away from the prison door, waiting for his goddess to come out.
This picture will steal many headlines from the gossip media tomorrow.
Bruce unbuckled his seat belt and said, "This circle is so fun, much more interesting than being a scavenger."
Martin asked: "Addicted to playing? Don't get lost in Kim."
Bruce laughed: "When the promotion period of this movie is over, it will be over naturally."
Martin mocked again: "What you said does not sound like a civilized person, but like a scumbag."
Bruce said: "No way, I learned it all from you."
The prison door opened at this time, and Paris Hilton came out with her bag on her back.
Countless flash lights lit up, and the media feast began.
Mene held the rose and walked towards Paris. He came two meters in front of her, knelt on the ground with one knee and offered the rose: "Paris, marry me!"
The surrounding reporters and paparazzi joined in the fun and shouted: "Marry him! Marry him..."
The momentum was astonishing.
After all, once Paris agrees, the love story between the poor boy and the princess will be a big book, and the news will definitely explode.
Paris suddenly realized and looked carefully at Mene, the unknown little actor on the set. She curled her lips to the base of her ears, took the rose, and threw it on the ground: "It's a boring trick."
She turned and walked towards her car, where her agent was waiting.
Menei squeezed his eyes hard. Although his acting skills were not as good as his oral skills, they were not wasted at all. Two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, what would happen if he accused Paris of discriminating against black people for not agreeing?
Mene stood up slowly, lowered his head, and walked towards the Volkswagen with tears in his eyes.
There were actually many media reporters whose cameras turned towards him.
Love is unattainable!
Full of sadness!
The farce finally came to an end as Paris got in the car and left.
Mene did not want to be surrounded by dozens of reporters and paparazzi, so he got into the Volkswagen before they came over.
The target effect has been achieved, Martin asked Bruce to start the car and run away quickly.
Mene wiped away her tears and sighed: "My love ended before it even began."
Martin received a call from Susan, chatted for a while, hung up, and said to Mene: "Man, let me tell you some good news. Susan asked me to tell you that the next film she will produce will be Give you a supporting role that is no less important than that of House of Wax Museum."
Mene immediately became energetic: "What kind of show, boss, are you participating?"
Martin shook his head: "The leading actor is Robert Downey Jr., Susan's fiancé. I can't compete, so I won't participate."
Like this, there is no need to try to operate, the probability of success is infinitely close to zero.
Mene immediately threw the failed proposal to the back of his mind and said to Martin: "Boss, my luck has gotten better since I met you."
Martin thought for a while: "My luck is also good, and you also brought me good luck."
Indeed, although the ratings and reputation of Wax Museum have been declining, the film's box office trend has not fallen off a cliff due to the continuous promotion.
As Halloween approaches, a traditionally popular time for horror films, Hollywood horror films begin to be released in droves. The box office champion of Wax Museum only lasted for one week before it was lost to Columbia Pictures' "The Grudge."
However, US$9.58 million is enough to ensure that the wax museum will sit in second place on the box office list the next weekend.
Including box office revenue from Monday to Thursday, the film's North American box office total is 36.14 million US dollars.
It is not a problem to exceed US$50 million at the North American box office.
Global distribution capabilities are one of the strengths of the six major Hollywood companies. Warner Bros. will launch the film into multiple overseas markets such as the United Kingdom, Mexico and Germany this weekend. The Wax Museum's overseas box office revenue soon exceeded 15 million US dollars.
Silver Pictures, the producer, and Warner Bros., the distributor, jointly held a celebration party for the film.
The party also had a brief red carpet ceremony.
This is also a regular promotion.
When Martin stepped onto the red carpet again, he was treated completely differently by reporters.
There were not many movie fans outside the hotel who screamed, and the camera flashes never stopped. Some reporters even took the initiative to stop him and wanted to interview him.
Martin only accepted interviews from his partners and talked freely in front of the cameras of Warner TV.
"The success of the film at the box office is a credit to the entire crew, and every staff member has worked hard for it." He does things in a high-profile manner and lives in a low-key manner: "Personally, I am very lucky. Silver Pictures gave me The opportunity to star, Warner Bros. made the film appear in front of the audience, and Susan and Zomi gave me a lot of help on the set."
Just as he was talking, director Zomi Hill came over.
He opened his arms and hugged Martin tightly, which made people feel close to each other.
When faced with the interview, Zomi did not hesitate to praise: "I am very lucky to be able to work with an outstanding actor like Martin in my first film directed by myself. He is a genius in acting. All I have to do is ask him. He just pulls it off perfectly and I never have to worry about his performance.”
The two have a good relationship and are willing to trade business with each other.
Susan, who came over later, also spoke highly of the work of Martin and Zomi.
The film is a success, and everyone benefits. In front of the media, it is natural that you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.
The third update is here, please vote for me! Uncle Mene proposes, and I ask for a monthly pass. . .
