MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 721 Europe's No. 1 Sweetheart

Chapter 721 Europe’s No. 1 Sweetheart

This period is not only the awards season in Hollywood, but also the awards season in the North American music industry.

While the Grammy Awards ceremony was going on, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, who were sitting next to each other, suddenly had an argument, and the two subsequently changed seats with Selena Gomez and Blake Lively.

Just after the awards ceremony, Katy Perry posted on Twitter, DISS Taylor Swift: "Be careful of mean girls in sheep's clothing!"

Taylor later hit back on Twitter: "I thought you were trustworthy, and you insisted on destroying everything! The trust in the past was destroyed, and you had to attack me?"

The two started arguing that night, and their respective fans followed suit, creating an uproar on forums and social media.

The gossip entertainment media immediately abandoned the Grammy winners and focused their coverage entirely on the two female singers.

The melon-eating masses don’t care who gets more gramophones and a heavier portion.

Watching other people win awards is not as fun as watching female celebrities fight.

Gossip media have speculated why the two turned against each other. "American Rumor" also believed that Martin was the direct reason for their breakup based on a recent tweet by the two.

"As early as three years ago, there were rumors of an affair between Martin and Taylor Swift. A few days ago, Katy Perry came to Los Angeles and was seen entering the Disney studio. Soon she and Martin and Taylor - A photo of Swift appeared on social media. A source revealed that Katy Perry was too close to Martin at Disney Studios, which caused Taylor Swift to be extremely dissatisfied..."

 The premiere is not a big one, but the media, fans and interviews are all available.

Martin said: "It doesn't affect me much. When is your next round?"

Taylor said: "I am planning to move. I estimate that I will leave Nashville this year and move to New York, which is the center of pop music."

This ambitious female singer’s goal is not to become a country queen, but to become the next Madonna.

“Good luck to you, Taylor.” Martin looked out the car window and approached the theater, preparing to end the call: “I will go to Nashville again when I have time.”

This is the premiere of "Napoleon's Beauty" starring Alexandrovich, the mayor of the future global village.

 The car passed by the road in front of the theater, turned to another road, and stopped by the back door.

 He showed great affinity.

 Martin smiled: "New York is also good."

Bruce drove to the Nokia Theater.

 These two stole quite a bit of the Grammys spotlight.

 The car slowed down and Martin glanced at the red carpet in front of the theater.

ˆ TMZ emphasizes making news without news, rather than making up nonsense.

“I’m waiting for you in New York.” Taylor hung up the phone.

Before Taylor left Los Angeles, she called Martin specifically: "I'm sorry, the media dragged you into this. Isn't it difficult to explain to your girlfriend?"

Taylor over there said: "Didn't you remind me that we can't fight too often and have to fight in different ways? When we were waiting for the release of our new song in the next round, she ridiculed me in the new song, and I dissed her in the new single, so that we both Can attract attention.”

 Taylor Swift and Katy Perry maintained a high-intensity social media war for three days, which temporarily subsided on the eve of Valentine's Day.

Compared to TMZ, the largest gossip media in the United States, which tells facts and presents evidence, these traditional gossip tabloids are too unprofessional.

Perhaps Napoleon's name is somewhat attractive, and Disney also invested a certain amount in publicity. The film was also featured in "Lone Survivor", and with his strong recommendation on Twitter and other social media, many fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet.

 Martin had a vague impression that Taylor, who left the village in his previous life, had changed his style and seemed to have settled in New York for a long time.

When Alexandrovich and Olina walked on the red carpet, they frequently talked with fans and took photos.

 Martin got out of the car and went directly into the theater.

 As we arrived at the waiting room, Alexandrovich came in after just finishing an interview with the media.

When he saw Martin, he felt closer than when he saw his biological father. His face was excited, his eyes were red, and all his true emotions burst out: "At this time last year, I couldn't even dream that a movie starring him would be released in the United States!"

 Martin shook hands with him: "Congratulations on your dream coming true!"

Alexandrovich added: "Martin, I saw the best side of America from you, but I don't know how to repay it. I swear to God, even if it costs my life, I will give "Servant of the People" An outstanding drama."

Olina came from the other side: "We have already contacted the Ukrainian side. The promotion period of "Napoleon" is over and we will go to Ukraine immediately for preparation and filming."

 Martin nodded: "I'm waiting for your good news."

"Napoleon Beauty" is a small production with a production budget of only US$5 million. Neither Davis Studio nor the distributor Disney Pictures will invest too many resources in the premiere, and the premiere will be There are no special guests. The most famous actor is Svetlana, who is confirmed to play Madam Viper in "The Wolverine 2".

 The film itself has nothing to say. In order to cater to the English-speaking market, the background of the story was changed to the love-hate relationship between a British cross-dressing tycoon and French sweetheart Napoleon.

 In short, it is all kinds of vulgar pranks on Napoleon.

Although the theater for the premiere was not full, the audience laughed continuously during the screening.

This kind of film is essentially the same as "The Hangover". As long as it can make the audience laugh, the market response of the film will not be too bad.

And the love between the cross-dressing tycoon and his sweetheart Napoleon is also very suitable for the atmosphere of Valentine's Day.

 In the past movies around the world, there has probably never been such a cute and cute Napoleon as the leader of the global village.

 Europe's No. 1 sweetheart.

At the end of the premiere screening, there was constant laughter and warm applause. Martin high-fived Marius, Olina, the village chief and Svetlana next to each other and said: "This is a very good comedy."

  The crew and creative staff were very encouraged.

  Martin was naturally talking about scenes, because he couldn't get the laughs of the film at all.

Just like when he watched "The Hangover", he never found it funny, only found it inexplicable.

After the premiere, Martin also used his personal connections to arrange an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly.

At the time when Martin was in Atlanta, the production cost of US$5 million was definitely a super-large production.

  For Disney Pictures, this is just an inconspicuous work.

 When it opened in North America, "Napoleon" was screened in only 950 theaters, and it only took in US$1.35 million on the first day.

But on the Internet, fans who like **** and **** gave the film good reviews.

 “It’s so fun to do a Napoleon spoof.”

 “I have never seen such a lovely Napoleon!”

 “Outrageous and funny!”

 “Napoleon is so cute, stupid, and miserable!”

No one cares about professional film reviews and ratings for this kind of vulgar movie, as long as it is funny and even outrageous.

On the second day of its release in North America, the box office of "Napoleon Beauty" increased significantly, with a single-day revenue of 2.16 million US dollars.

 The reputation of the film has gradually spread, and it has earned some fame during the upcoming Valentine's Day period.

  In its three-day opening weekend in North America, the film took in US$4.82 million.

On the following Valentine’s Day, the revenue for that day was close to 3 million US dollars.

  After the film's second weekend of screening in North America, the North American box office accumulated a total of 12.25 million US dollars.

The main creative team also left North America and focused on Europe for promotion.

Then, not surprisingly, he was scolded by the French media.

 Alexandrovich, who plays the sweetheart Napoleon, was even scolded by the French media.

 But the film received a good response in the UK.

A British lieutenant, dressed as a cross-dressing boss, successfully hooked up with Napoleon. What an interesting setting!

 Many British people find it interesting.

This also makes it easy for the film to recover its production costs and publicity expenses through box office sharing.

 Martin asked the village chief to take the first step to success, and then the second step was to sell.

It is not only Martin who is paying attention to this film, but also Alan Horn, the president of Disney Theaters.

In the Brentwood mansion, Cody Horn looked at the newspaper in his father's hand curiously, and after he put it down, he took it over.

The newspaper is a report on a comedy movie.

 Cody was curious: “When did you pay attention to this kind of movie?”

Allan-Horn said: "It's a comedy produced by The Martin Company."

"Martin? Did he participate in the show?" Cody became even more curious: "Didn't he downgrade himself and lose his status by appearing in a comedy?"

Allen corrected: "He invested in it, and several people from Ukraine or Russia made it. The film was very successful. The production cost plus publicity and distribution expenses were only 10 million US dollars. It is estimated that the global box office will be 35 million to 40 million US dollars." ”

 Cody didn’t understand what his father meant.

In fact, Allen has always wanted his daughter to develop into film management. Even though Cody is more like playing in the film industry, he still teaches him carefully: "Some time ago, Martin proposed a project to me. He was very optimistic about it but he would not star in it. I was a little worried, but now it seems that the worry is unnecessary.”

He pointed to the newspaper: "There are two films that Martin is optimistic about investing in. The North American box office of "Lone Survivor" is now 146 million US dollars, and the other is a comedy that spoofs Napoleon."

Cody didn’t listen to his father’s words at all and just muttered: “Aren’t all Martin’s films quite successful commercially?”

 Allen is worried about a situation like Warner Pictures, and now it seems that Martin has a hand in Warner Pictures.

He said: "The projects that Martin is optimistic about and the projects that Martin stars in are two different concepts."

Cody’s mind is not on this: “I think the movies he plays are better.”

 Allen sighed and said nothing further. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Martin's number: "Whenever we have time, let's talk about the live-action film project you mentioned."

 That afternoon, Martin, who was preparing for the Oscars, accompanied Elizabeth to choose a dress and then went to Disney Studios to chat with Alan Horn about the next step of cooperation.

 The two parties have basically finalized their intention to jointly invest in the production of a live-action fairy tale movie - "Beauty and the Beast".
