Heads Up Hollywood

"Spider-Man" is rated PG-13, which means that children under the age of 13 should watch it with the guidance of their parents.

Taylor Swift is 11 years old this year, and she is still under the age. If she wants to enter the cinema, she can only discuss it with her parents.

Her father is in New York and is managing Tang En Capital, so she can only pin her hopes on her mother.

Andrea Swift has been asking Natalie's mother, Shirley Hershler, about her daughter's experience in raising her daughter recently. After all, Natalie is so good.

Good acting skills, good looks, and the key is that he can go to Harvard University to study. This is definitely a genius in the entertainment industry.

Andrea didn't expect little Taylor to be so good. Going to the world's number one university would at least teach her daughter to be well-behaved.

Little Taylor's current temper is too wild.

Ordinary families may be fine, but Little Taylor will definitely develop in the entertainment industry in the future. Such a personality...will cause big problems!

The black history of Drew Barrymore reported during this period is really scary.

So Andrea wants to raise her daughter in the direction of a lady, and doesn't plan to take her to see "Spider-Man".

Little Taylor was of course not happy, he was stalking, flattering and acting coquettish, and in the end he had no choice but to use his trump card: "If you don't let me watch "Spider-Man", I'll call Dun En, hehe You are still an employee of Tang En Pictures, don't you want to contribute movie tickets to the boss's movie?"

Andrea was angry and helpless, so she had to take her to the cinema.

The cinema in the morning is usually very empty, and there is no atmosphere for watching movies. The mother and daughter went to the nearest cinema at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Today is Friday, the flow of people is obviously more than usual, and there is already a long queue in front of the ticket window.

"Mom, there's no one there, go to that window to buy!" Little Taylor pointed to the window next to him, and pulled his mother to go there.

Andrea grabbed her, "There are other movies for sale, didn't you see the prompt on the window? There are "Sixty Seconds", "Mission: Impossible 2", "Dinosaurs", "Hardcore Detective", here That's Spider-Man."

Little Taylor's jewel-like eyes gleamed leisurely, "So everyone came to see "Spider-Man", Twain is really amazing!"

Andrea frowned, "Sweetheart, how many times have I told you, be polite. You can't just call her by name, you have to call Mr. Walker, or Uncle Dunn."

Little Taylor pouted, "He's my friend, not my uncle."

Andrea gritted her teeth angrily, "Your father is Tang En's colleague, that's why he is very friendly with you. Do you think you are really friends?"

"It's a friend!" Little Taylor was a little rebellious, raised his head and said unconvinced, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him, he told me himself that we are good friends!"

Andrea was really helpless, she no longer knew how to discipline this brat.

At this time, the staff of the theater noticed that there were children here, and walked over eagerly, and led them to the special ticket window for children on the other side.

Andrea was pleasantly surprised by such a personalized service, and intentionally chatted with the conductor, "It's the weekend, and I'm very busy."

The conductor was busy selling tickets, without raising his head, he said, "It's not just busy on weekends, it's just a blockbuster movie."

Little Taylor raised his feet, supported the ticket counter, and rushed to say: "Yes, it's "Spider-Man"!"

Only then did the conductor raise his head, and found that it was a little girl sculpted in pink and jade. She liked it very much, and said with a friendly smile: "Yes, it is "Spider-Man", but this is a boy's movie, and there are many people in it. It's a fight."

Little Taylor snorted, "I'm not afraid of fighting!"

Andrea tugged her daughter angrily, and said with a smile: "Look at this posture, you have to work overtime, right?"

The conductor sighed, and said helplessly, "No way, it's work. But fortunately, Director Walker only makes one movie a year, so he can handle it."

Andrea was a little surprised, isn't it so exaggerated?

In the whole of Hollywood, Tang En alone can keep the entire theater busy?

But if you think about it, it makes sense. In the entire history of Hollywood, there are only two films with a box office of more than 1 billion US dollars, both directed by Twain.

Seeing her surprised face, the conductor shook his head, "Didn't you see the movie fans who bought the tickets? Nine out of ten were for "Spider-Man". dedicated window."

Andrea lost her voice: "The theater's daily income is not all from "Spider-Man"?"

"Does that matter?" The conductor looked calm, as if it should be taken for granted, "It's a movie directed by Walker, if I choose, I'll watch his movie too! Our manager arranged 73% of the "Spider-Man" In my opinion, there are fewer films, and they should all be "Spiderman"!"

Little Taylor immediately applauded after hearing this, "Yes, I agree! Let the bad movies go, we only watch Dunn's movies!"

The conductor smiled, "Do you like watching Tang En's movies?"

The meaning is obvious. Twain's movies... are not suitable for children to watch. Except for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", they are all rated PG-13.

Taylor was young, so of course he couldn't understand the deep meaning in these words. He raised his chin and said proudly: "Yes, I like it very much! Especially "Titanic", I have watched it several times!"

""Titanic"?"

The conductor was stunned, staring at Andrea in a daze, not knowing what to say.

In "Titanic", there are many scenes that are not suitable for children.

Andrea also obviously realized something, staring at her daughter, said coldly: "Taylor, when did you watch "Titanic"? Did you secretly watch the DVD?"

Only then did little Taylor realize the slip of the tongue, stuck out his tongue, and felt that something was wrong, and quickly looked at his mother with teary eyes, begging pitifully.

It's over, it's over, it's miserable!

...

In the afternoon, Tang En got the latest word-of-mouth talk from the audience.

After the early screening yesterday, the audience gave "Spider-Man" a favorable rate of 99%!

Of course, the audience who can grab tickets and go in to watch the movie in advance are all Twain's fanatical movie fans and die-hard fans of comics, and they will definitely make some higher-than-average judgments.

When it comes to the release date, word of mouth will definitely decline.

"Our praise rate is still very high, a full 96%. The market trend and audience response are very healthy. As for the Disney movie..."

Isla Fisher shook her head, and the corner of her mouth was sneering, "The audience's word of mouth has dropped to 67%, and they don't need to be crushed by "Spider-Man". The influence of word of mouth alone will kill them sooner or later."

Tang En shook his head and sighed.

Now, the Internet has just emerged, and the number of Internet users is too small. Rating websites like Rotten Tomatoes do not know which workshop they are nesting in. It is impossible to develop without seven or eight years.

In this day and age, it is the traditional film critics' comments that can really influence moviegoers' viewing choices.

As for the audience word-of-mouth Tang En got in his hands, it was a questionnaire filled out by the audience after watching the movie according to the distributor's request. It would not be open to the public, and it was not convincing.

To put it bluntly, it is the word-of-mouth of the audience at this stage, which has limited influence on the film. Distributors have enough means to lure audiences into movie theaters.

Why do film companies become more and more difficult to manage after more than ten years, and go bankrupt one after another? And the surviving film companies will continue to release movie sequels?

The main reason is that in the Internet age, everything has become transparent, and there is no room for bad movies to survive. The past when the producers and distributors wanted to rely on a few big stars and public opinion to lure movie fans to the cinema to cheat money is gone forever.

If everything becomes transparent, Twain is confident that the current "Spider-Man" will definitely have greater influence and gain more box office!

"By the way, there is one more thing." Ella Fisher paused, and said cautiously: "The distributor...Universal Pictures, and the Endeavor agency are currently planning a new marketing plan. I need to tell you."

"what?"

Ira Fisher said: "The momentum of "Spider-Man" is very good now, but according to the normal market trend, the popularity will definitely drop after one month. The distributor plans to arrange for the hero and heroine of the movie to have a relationship. It will be released a month later, and they will take advantage of each other's momentum to re-hype the topic of "Spider-Man."

Tang En said lightly, "Oh", "Since it's a marketing strategy, the issuer is responsible for it. It's not harmful to us, so let them do it."

Isla Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, and only then was it confirmed that Dunn had indeed lost interest in Jessica Alba, otherwise he would not be able to let his female partner fall in love with other men, not even fake ones!

Just like she and Reese are now, during the dating stage, they cannot contact other opposite sexes unless the relationship has been broken.
