American fame and fortune

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

During the Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry suddenly got into an argument while sitting next to each other, 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: "Beware 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 fans followed suit, causing a stir 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 heavier portions.

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..."

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

TMZ's emphasis is on making news without news, rather than making up nonsense.

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's intense social media feud lasted three days, but it has calmed down just before Valentine's Day.

These two stole quite a bit of the Grammys spotlight.

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

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

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 It attracts attention.”

"I wish you good luck, 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."

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

Martin smiled: "New York is also good."

"I'm waiting in New York." Taylor hung up the phone.

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.

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

Bruce drove to the Nokia Theater.

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

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.

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

The premiere was not a big one, but it was well attended by media, fans and interviews.

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

He showed great affinity.

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

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

Arriving in 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 feelings 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 have seen 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 series."

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

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 spoofs 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.

Moreover, the love between the cross-dressing boss 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 number one 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 cast and crew 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 used his personal connections to arrange an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly.

During Martin's time 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 $1.35 million on the first day.

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

“It’s so fun to spoof Napoleon.”

"I have never seen such a lovely Napoleon!"

“Outrageous and hilarious!”

"Napoleon is so cute, stupid, and miserable!"

For this kind of vulgar movie, no one cares about professional film reviews and ratings. It just needs to be 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 film's reputation gradually spread, and it earned some fame during the upcoming Valentine's Day period.

During its three-day opening weekend in North America, the film earned $4.82 million.

On Valentine's Day, the revenue for that day was close to $3 million.

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 crew and crew also left North America and focused on promoting the film in Europe.

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

Alexandrovich, who plays the charming 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 crossdresser, successfully hooked up with Napoleon. What an interesting setting!

Many British people enjoyed watching it.

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.

Not only Martin is paying attention to this film, but also Disney Theater President Alan Horn.

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 was reporting on a comedy movie.

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

"It's a comedy produced by The Martin Company," Allen-Horn said.

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

Allen corrected: "He invested, 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" currently has 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 reserved a hand for 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 was not on this: "I think the movies he plays are better."

Allen sighed and said no more. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Martin's number: "Whenever we have time, let's talk about the live-action movie 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."
