American fame and fortune

In the North Hollywood apartment, Martin came back after finishing the styling. After entering the door, he dug out Coke from the box, smeared it with olive oil, and placed it on the window sill facing the premiere theater.

Taking off the disposable gloves, Martin took out his mobile phone and called Robert.

Over there in Atlanta, Robert said, "Understood, I'll do it now."

Martin went downstairs, got into the Mercedes-Benz car parked at the door of the apartment, and said to Bruce, "Go to the hotel to pick up Annie."

Bruce drove and asked, "Does it really work?"

"Succeeded several times." What Martin was looking for was also a kind of psychological comfort.

It is similar to the behavior of worshiping the God of Wealth in the previous life.

Arriving at the Hilton Hotel, as soon as Martin got out of the car, Laura walked out with Annie who was dressed up.

Martin hurried over to open the door, leaning on the roof of the car to let Annie come to the door.

Annie saw her boyfriend's meticulous attention to these trivial matters, and smiled sweetly at Martin.

Waiting for Martin to get in the car, the Mercedes-Benz starts.

Laura followed in another car.

Anne asked concerned: "How much is Warner Bros. expected to box office in the first weekend?"

Martin looked very stressed: "25 million dollars!"

Annie clasped Martin's hand and encouraged, "I believe you can do it."

Martin nodded: "It depends on the first week's box office."

Today's movie screenings are fundamentally different from those before 2000. The marketing strategy is to attract moviegoers to theaters as early as possible. The North American box office of most commercial movies accounts for more than half in the first two weekends.

The premiere of "The Mountain Has Eyes" was held at the El Capitan Theater. Rachel brought the core members of the fan club over early in the morning and received the official lights from Jessica and Emily. cheering tools such as cards, posters and banners.

Those who supported Anne Hathaway, Jessica and Rachel took the initiative to contact and sent materials such as light boards.

Before the red carpet, apart from some horror movie fans who joined in the fun, the fans were mainly divided into three groups.

In addition to Martin and Annie, there is also a huge group of supporters of Wes Craven.

Starting with "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in 1983, Wes Craven's horror films have become well-known gold-lettered signs throughout North America for more than two decades.

Therefore, this film includes the trailers that have been released, and on some posters, the most striking font is printed at the beginning: Wes Craven's works.

Regardless of the director Alexander Ajia or the actor Martin, they have no opinion on this and support it with both hands.

When the cool old man Craven walked on the red carpet first, there was a tsunami of cheers at the entrance of the theater.

Angelina Jolie came over to cheer.

When Mene stepped onto the red carpet, a large group of people called him to sign. When Uncle Mene passed by, he found that most of his supporters were over forty years old.

The people who walked on the red carpet after that almost caught the attention of media reporters and movie fans.

Paris Hilton has reappeared in public after a short hiatus.

After going through prison and Kim Kardashian's betrayal, Paris seems to have mastered the traffic code. She didn't stop much on the red carpet. She quickly caught up with Mene in front and insisted on taking a group photo with Mene.

Everyone in Mene was numb: "What are you going to do?"

Paris whispered, "Take a photo with me, and come back to me for the check."

Mene immediately changed his face: "No problem, how do you want me to cooperate?"

The two stopped at the media area, and the media reporters almost rioted.

Paris is no longer as manic as before, let Mene hug her waist and smile at the camera together.

At this time, more violent shouts sounded from the front of the red carpet.

A black car stopped in front of the carpet, and Martin took Annie off the car, and the two walked onto the red carpet arm in arm.

Unlike the premiere at Wax Museum, this time Martin is the absolute protagonist.

On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of movie fans held his posters and a light board with his name written on them, calling his name constantly.

Martin dragged Anne over, signing autographs for fans along the way, and even meeting fans' requests for group photos.

Bruce has been following behind, his eyes constantly scanning the fans, looking for any possible danger.

With Anne's blessing, the fans are so enthusiastic, it is not a good idea for Martin to get away rashly.

He and Bruce had already discussed it.

Bruce said something to the neckline Mike, and four security personnel came over immediately, asking Martin to return to the red carpet for safety reasons.

Martin still enthusiastically signed autographs for fans until he was forced to leave by the security guards.

Two security guards even tried to grab Martin's arms.

"Martin really cares about us!"

Witnessing all this, the fans burst into tears, and a female fan took the lead in shouting: "Martin, you go back, don't delay the business."

Many movie fans echoed in various ways.

The movie stars who support them have achieved this level, what else can they say, and what are they dissatisfied with?

Jessica, who was among the crowd, suddenly shouted: "I want to buy five tickets to support Martin! I want to support Martin!"

Other fans agreed.

"Yes! I'm going to repeat it three times."

"As long as the movie is good, I will watch it five times."

Few people noticed Jessica who was the first to shout, and similar emotions spread rapidly among the crowd, shouting one after another.

Among them, many people say that, if the economy allows, time may not.

But Emily took a DV camera, took all the pictures, and posted them on the Internet, which can always arouse people's emotions when watching movies.

Good movies naturally have good box office?

In many cases, a good movie is not as good as a commercial operation.

As Martin walked across the red carpet and entered the media area, Jessica, Emily and Rachel waved their hands and left quickly.

The two entered the theater through the side door, came to the reserved office on the second floor, opened the laptop they brought, and immediately uploaded the photos and some videos taken on the spot to the Internet, especially the declassified website.

Unlike Warner Bros. and crew publicists, they are completely centered on Martin.

Martin and Annie, who had been interviewed in the media area, came to the foyer of the theater and waited to be admitted later.

There are many guests here.

Sophia and Vincent also came. The former's burly figure attracted people's attention frequently.

She came over, looked at Anne slightly, and asked Martin, "Is this your new girlfriend?"

"Anne Hathaway." Martin introduced Sophia: "My friend in Atlanta, Sophia."

Sophia smiled and shook hands with Annie.

Annie only felt that this woman's hands were as hard as rocks.

Worried about Sophia talking nonsense, Martin pointed behind him and sold the old cloth without hesitation: "Bruce is over there."

Sophia was not interested in anything else, and walked quickly towards Bruce.

Martin believes that Bruce will not fall.

Annie came over and said in a low voice, "Why doesn't she feel like a good person."

Of course Martin wouldn't be telling the truth: "She's a fitness freak. She's lost the fat. She looks a little scary, but she's actually a nice person."

Scott can definitely attest to that.

"Hi, Martin." Wu Maoting came over to say hello.

His daughter Wu Dan was like an ordinary little girl, staring at Martin adoringly: "You are radiant today."

But Martin turned to Anne skillfully: "Did you hear that? Miss Wu is praising you."

Anne has fully recognized Martin and is very cooperative, and she took the initiative to shake hands with U Thant.

Wu Maoting said: "I visited Pacific Pictures, visited Warner Brothers, and chatted with several executives of Warner Brothers. The situation is better than what I said. Thank you for giving me such an investment opportunity."

Martin was not polite at all: "Mr. Wu, may I ask for a proper thank you?"

Wu Maoting thought that these Westerners really don't know how to be modest, but he said with a smile on his face: "Just say it, as long as I can do it."

Martin said, "Can you sell me a batch of emeralds at a fair price?"

It turned out to be such a small matter! Wu Maoting's good impression of Martin came back again: "I'll ask someone to bring you a list later, you just choose."

After the two left, Annie asked in a low voice, "Emerald? I seem to have heard of it."

Martin said simply: "A fine jewel of the Orient."

"Jewelry?" Annie's thoughts immediately came to life. Is the jewelry finally coming?

Jewelry is here, are luxury cars and mansions far behind?

Wes Craven came over at this time and took Martin to meet several media people, mainly people in the film critic field, including Kenneth Turan, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, and chief film critic for The Hollywood Reporter. Todd McCarthy for Variety and Courtney Howard for Variety.

These people are all members of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

Martin greeted them quite politely, and chatted enthusiastically for a while.

Celebrities need adulation from the media and critics.

As they were leaving, Martin asked Craven, "Shall I get them a little present?"

Craven shook his head: "No, the crew has already made preparations." He reminded Martin: "If you want to win awards in the future, you should first look for critics in Los Angeles and New York. Nearly 70% of the academy's members live in these two places. "

Martin tentatively asked, "They?"

Craven understood Martin's meaning: "Most of the time they emphasize fairness. But everything around Hollywood is business."

At this time, Martin saw Mene and found that Mene was being led by Paris Hilton to socialize everywhere.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he took a chance to ask.

Menet said with a bitter face: "Boss Martin, she has given too much!"

Martin knew that he was under a lot of financial pressure recently, so he encouraged him: "Come on, try to earn more."

Make money, not shabby.

In the El Capitan Theater, a large number of spectators entered the arena one after another.

Ted entered with nine other lucky spectators, seated exactly in the middle row.

The theater, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, is full of audience except for the first few rows.

Although it is not the peak season such as summer and holiday stalls, Geshan Youyan still attracts a large number of people.

Then guests and people from the media circle entered the venue.

Amid applause, Wes Craven and Alexander Ajia led the crew into the theater.

Martin is the only one who can really be called a star among the cast members.

After a brief media interview, "The Mountain Has Eyes" officially began its premiere.
