Chapter 1437 Growth Troubles
Later, people often wondered why Hollywood film companies like to shoot sequel movies? Why are sequels one after another when those comic adapted superhero movies are disappointing at the box office? Why did the film companies continue to launch new works after superhero movies fell completely?
The reason is here:
Whether Warner Bros., Disney, including Universal Pictures and Sony Columbia, the real money-making part has never been the box office of the movie, but the movie surroundings and theme parks. Movies are just a promotional link that connects a huge industry to the market.
The same is true before us. "Magic Cinderella" performed far lower than expected, but Disney still promoted it with full force and started the second round of publicity without stopping.
This is why Anson's surprise visit was made.
However, Anson still underestimated Disney's determination and had a lot of work arrangements throughout the day.
Obviously, the drunkard's intention is not just to promote "magic Cinderella". Even if the box office of this work is completely defeated or even loses, Disney's live princess movie plan will continue to be implemented, so they must spend money to continue promoting it without any room for negotiation.
Anson spread his hands, "It is a good thing to have publicity, at least you can be seen and heard."
Anne let out a sigh of relief, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness hidden in her smile.
Before Annie could speak, the suite door was pushed open again. The man just now returned and looked at Anson's side face, regardless of whether the conversation was interrupted or not. "Sorry, I just forgot to say that Anne is very happy to talk about her next work. On August 11th, just in August, the movie is about to be launched on the big screen."
"Of course, there is the next work we are discussing, and she is very happy to share some information with you."
Anson raised his eyebrows gently -
As expected, the "Magic Cinderella" promotion is just an introduction, and the real gimmick is behind.
Anson, "Oh, this is a good thing. Our readers are very happy to get the news first."
The man closed the door and left again without waiting for Anson to finish his words.
It's like this...leaving...
From beginning to end, the man never looked at Anson's eyes, so that Anson's "Superman Glasses" still plays the role of a mask perfectly.
Anson looked at Annie, smiling.
Annie only felt a headache and laughed silently, "What he just said was 'Princess Diary 2'."
Anson suddenly realized, "Oh, the movie is ready to be released!"
Annie let out a long sigh, "Yes, we all hope we won't hit 'Spider-Man 2'."
Anson smiled directly, "Don't worry, our target market is different. So, there is another one? It seems that your itinerary is full."
Annie pursed her smile slightly, like a butterfly wing, almost disappeared into the sun, "I hope it's not that fast."
Anson keenly captured the sighs and bitterness in Annie's words, "What happened?"
Annie waved her hand subconsciously, "No, nothing, it's just some of my own random thoughts."
Anson did not continue to ask, but pulled her body a little back, raised her hands to make a surrender gesture, "Speak, I'm not a paparazzi."
The anxious and clear attitude made Annie smile again, her mind relaxed a little, and she looked at Anson quietly, and her thoughts were surging in her mind.
A impulse, the words were spoken naturally.
"I don't know, I just feel..."
Annie was slightly stunned, the thoughts in her mind echoed, but she heard her voice muttering softly.
"I seem to be trapped."
"The great success brought by the 'Princess Diary' is far beyond my imagination. Hollywood is like a book full of mystery, opening up in front of me." "It's not just the box office, but the influence outside it is omnipresent. Do you believe that some people really think I am the princess of a certain country."
"Princess Mia." "I don't even know how to respond. I finally understand why people always make movies an art of dreaming. It's too real." "But here is the problem." "Now in Hollywood, my image is a princess, a Barbie doll in a princess dress. Because the audience thinks that all producers, directors and even other actors have fixed me to the image of the princess." Anne let out a sigh of relief, and pulled her skirt boredly, with a little bitterness in the curve of the corner of her mouth.
"So, the role I can get now is just the princess and princesses."
"'Magic Cinderella' is the princess, and 'Princess Diary 2' is the princess. What I am currently discussing is still the princess role, not even the vase role, not the student or the girl, just the Barbie doll pretending to be the princess."
"I know, I know, such words seem arrogant and ungrateful. In Hollywood, there are countless actors who are buried, ignored and ignored. They don't even have the chance to be seen, but I'm picky here."
"But..."
The words came to an abrupt end.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Annie sat in a daze, showing a big smile at Anson.
However, the bitterness and sorrow hidden in the smile quietly emerged.
Ansen shook his head, "I don't think this is arrogance, it's a normal consideration."
"When we are trapped in an image, it means the focus of our actor's career. Special actors cannot have a real career."
"You are the same, and I am the same."
"Once upon a time, we thought that we only needed to seize one opportunity to go to the big screen, and all dreams would come true, just like Disney fairy tales, the prince and the princess live happily together, and this is the end."
"But after we were truly done, we realized that this is just the first step, life is long, the future is far away, and things are far from being realized."
"Otherwise, Macaulay Culkin would not be trapped in Kevin's body, who is 'the little kid', forever, and he still hasn't been able to get rid of it."
"Some people would say that at least he succeeded once, which is a dream that half a Hollywood actor could not achieve; but the problem is that he succeeded once, and then he had to face a long and difficult failure, which made people unable to think whether life would be better if he had not experienced that success."
"Life...just like a box of chocolate, you will never know what the next one tastes."
Obviously, Anson was teasing that the last sentence was a legendary classic line of "Forrest Gump".
Annie understood it immediately, "Ha!'Run, Forrest Gump, run!"
She also teased, but her smile did not stay at the corner of her mouth for too long before she drooped again, falling into deep thought, but there was only endless nothingness in her mind.
Anne sighed softly.
"So, is this growth? We all have to face the complexity and difficulties of life, and are trapped in the same place after going around, but never find the answer."
"If life can be simple, and if we can not grow up, that would be great."
Annie raised her eyes and looked at Anson, revealing a little helplessness and fragility, but inadvertently noticed the faint sadness and bitterness in Anson's smile.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
