 Chapter 787 Super Scam

"What advice?" Although Nicholson has only had limited dealings with Musk, he has seen too many **** in his life, and he can see Musk's **** nature at a glance.

 The suggestions put forward by the **** must be wonderful. He said: "Good ideas need to be discussed together by everyone."

 Leonardo also came to join in the fun: "Coming up with ideas together will make your suggestions more exciting."

Musk stretched out his finger and quietly pointed at Tamlula Riley, who was talking to David Fincher in the distance: "My ex-wife wants to return to Hollywood to develop, and I want Martin to help take care of her."

Nicholson looked Musk up and down, making sure he wasn't joking and said there was something wrong with the man's head, right?

Leonardo patted Musk and asked: "Have you got anything to do with being caught by Martin? Or do you owe him a huge favor? Why do you want to do what he wants!"

Martin said: "Shut up, you two. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

 Finally encountered an opportunity to engage Martin, how could Nicholson give up and said to Musk: "Man, you are sending Little Red Riding Hood into the mouth of the big bad wolf."

 Leonardo wanted to speak again.

 Martin patted him on the shoulder: "Do you want to return to 11 seconds for 100 meters?"

The longer this lawsuit drags on, the more harmful it will be to Depp.

 It was almost time, and the people in the lounge left one after another and entered the screening hall.

 Martin chatted with Musk a little more about Depp. Since Depp chose to appeal, his divorce case with Amber Heard has not yet been concluded.

 Even if this was a deal that only included the sponsorship of "Interstellar Rescue", there is nothing wrong with it.

 Leonardo quickly shut his mouth.

 Musk looked at Martin again.

Paired with illustrations and video materials, the film uses narration to quickly and concisely introduce the background of the story.

 David Fincher and Martin took the crew and creative staff to sit in the first row.

  After all, it is difficult to get the opportunity to invest in Tesla just by having money.

 Even spent huge sums of money to buy advertisements in many newspapers.

Depp seems to understand this too. According to Musk, Depp plans to leave the United States, a land of right and wrong, and settle in France after the lawsuit is over and the debt to the tax bureau is paid off.

Seeing that there was no one around, Musk said: "I promise you, an investment of 50 million U.S. dollars, and it will be ready before the end of the year."

 This is also the biggest attraction of the film.

Then, it quickly evolved into a traditional Hollywood-style plot of personal heroism.

 Musk sells his words better than anyone else: “This is a good brother!”

 In order to rescue him, the actor created a real fake crew in Hollywood.

Martin said: "For the sake of our friendship, I will help Tanlula find a suitable role."

 Leonardo thought to himself, I would also like to have a brother like you!

 Tobey Maguire arrived at this time, Leonardo and Nicholson left here.

 Premiere screenings will begin soon.

 “No problem.” Martin promised: “I will help Tanlula find a heavyweight role.”

 From the script to the studio to the crew, it’s all real.

　　All truths serve the purpose of deception. Only when you prepare enough truth in the early stage can you go to a foreign country to make people believe that these are true.

 In fact, Martin also considered a similar plan when he came to Hollywood.

For example, you can use this model to invest a small amount of money in advance to create a real crew, go overseas to fool investors into investing huge sums of money, and then run away with the money.

 For a more low-level method, you can also call people pretending to be Spielberg or James Cameron, saying that you are optimistic about the talent and future of certain actors, and inviting them to join the crew, but you need to pay an upfront fee.

There are countless young actors in Los Angeles who dream of success. They stare at every opportunity with red eyes. Once an opportunity comes up, they will rush forward eagerly.

 When people’s hearts are controlled by greed and they are anxious, this kind of low-level scam has a high chance of success.

"Escape from Tehran" is a standard American-themed movie. Even the Washington authorities, who are blackmailed by Hollywood when everything goes wrong, have a positive image in the film and actively support the rescue.

Therefore, the male protagonist is like every classic Hollywood hero, traveling alone into the unknown world to complete impossible tasks. Even at the most critical moment, he must use his lofty personal values ​​to challenge the existing system rules and become the real savior. By.

This CIA agent can't fly, has no superb skills, and doesn't know how to explode. He looks like an ordinary person, but such a character can highlight the thrill and weirdness of the rescue.

The picture finally settled on an illustration from the fake movie "Argo" in the film, and "Escape from Tehran" came to an end.

There was warm applause in the theater. Although the ending of the movie was already expected and the successful rescue was a result they had known for a long time, the ups and downs and tension created by David Fincher through movie techniques did not allow people to relax. Opportunity, all in one breath, finally reaches its climax.

 Martin stood up and looked at David Fincher and applauded. Following his lead, the crew and creative staff also looked at David Fincher and applauded.

Producer Graham King exclaimed: "David, you have produced an amazing work!"

 He looked at Martin and added: "You have created another classic character!"

 Martin hugged Graham and David Finch.

 The main creative staff of the crew immediately stepped onto the stage to take the curtain call. The audience burst into warm applause again.

This film is actually divorced from reality in many places, but the film adaptation is an artistic reprocessing.

According to Tony Mendes himself, he entered Tehran under the cover of a fake crew member and producer. During this period, no one suspected at all, he encountered basically no obstacles, and he easily brought people out.

 If you shoot it like this, the audience will definitely not like it.

 After the premiere, David Fincher and Martin waited for a while in Chandler Hall.

Not long after, Alan Horn came over to meet the two people in person and said: "Disney Pictures' audience feedback statistics have been completed, and the average audience rating is A!"

David Fincher breathed a sigh of relief: "At least the film's box office is guaranteed."

Martin said: "Such a mainstream movie, the quality is guaranteed, and the professional rating will not be bad."

Alan Horn said: "I have just communicated with several film critics, and they all said that the film was quite well shot and the quality is far above the standard."

 Martin looked at the time and said, "Go back early, we can all have a good sleep tonight."

Alan Horn couldn't help but laugh: "The film's word-of-mouth ban will be fully lifted tonight, and you will be able to see the good news tomorrow."

Several people left the Los Angeles Music Center one after another.

 Mainstream media generally gave positive reviews.

The Washington Post praised: "David Fincher has brought a solemn and well-crafted political thriller with black humor and realism. The performance of the leading actor Martin Davis is perfect." , he performed this shocking deception flawlessly."

　　Per Martin’s request, the crew sent a copy to the White House early.

At a regular press conference at the White House, Guan Hai also mentioned "Escape from Tehran": "This film tells a real historical event with the least pretense and the greatest impact. It is a great historical footnote and a Best movie I’ve seen this year.”

 The remarks about watching the sea can also become a publicity point for this film.

 While filming the latest commercial for Coca-Cola, Martin accepted a joint interview with media reporters and specifically mentioned this new film.

 On Friday, "Escape from Tehran" was fully released in 3,850 theaters in North America.

  The R-rated rating of the film has restricted the entry of some young audiences into theaters and also affected attendance.

Even so, after Friday, the film still took in US$14.51 million on its first day in North America.

 On Saturday, "Escape from Tehran" ushered in a small explosion. The attendance rate increased compared with Friday, and the single-day revenue was US$17.55 million.

Although the attendance rate of all movies on Sunday night is bound to decline due to Monday's working day, the film's box office was impressive enough during the three-day opening weekend in North America, with a total box office of US$45.21 million.

 The success of both the box office and word-of-mouth gave the crew enough confidence to compete for many awards including Oscars during the awards season.

 This awards season, competition will be particularly fierce.

 Martin specially watched the theater schedule until the New Year and found many familiar films.

 Among them are "Django Unchained" directed by Tarantino Tarantino, "Lincoln" directed by Spielberg, "Les Misérables" directed by Tom Hooper, and "Life of Pi" directed by Ang Lee.

 Martin remembers clearly that Ang Lee won his second Oscar for Best Director for "Life of Pi".

 David Fincher wants to achieve a breakthrough of zero Oscars. It does not seem to be easy.

Of course, Fincher also has his advantages. "Escape from Tehran" is more politically correct, and he is not a young director like his predecessor.

 Multiple Oscar nominations in a row have also accumulated certain qualifications for him.
