Ace Hollywood

Chapter 17: 1 successful hype (below)

The heat came faster than everyone thought.

This is directly reflected in the amount of discussion on the IMDB "Campus Blues" page.

There are many voices calling for the "thief" and "liar" of Daniel to be dealt with and to find the real "Billy Bob", and there are also young girls who surrender to Daniel's good looks.

In fact, their power even surpassed the previous wave.

The one who was brushed high on the top was a girl's nympho, "Daniel is so handsome, does anyone have any other photos of him? Why are there only so many pictures."

That's what Kusa put on when he built the page.

Both Brian and Michael specifically called Daniel.

This is an unexpected joy. The popularity of "Campus Blues" has climbed up like this. Coupled with serious publicity, it has suddenly entered the top 100 of IMDB's films in one fell swoop.

Daniel even entered the top 250 ranks one day, of course, only hangs for one day at the end.

But it's true, a lot of people know him, Daniel Sandler.

For him, this is a milestone anniversary.

Of course, the film crew kept silent, and no one responded to Daniel's incident.

Until the premiere was held at the Beverly Hilton.

"You've been in the limelight recently." Although James smiled, he was somewhat appetizing.

In comparison, Paul is much more sincere.

Daniel, Paul, and Ellie Larter sat in the first row of the movie, whispering about their development.

Hearing that Daniel had been offered the role in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Paul punched him excitedly.

"This is a good opportunity."

"It's just a character with no role."

"Who would have thought that Billy Bob would be the first to catch fire?" Ellie also patted him. The last time the two met on the set of "Death Is Coming" was somewhat embarrassing, but now it's a lot more natural, "The protagonist doesn't Huo, are there still few movies with popular supporting roles?"

The chatter around them slowly stopped, and the three of them hurriedly sat down.

The movie is about to start.

Billy picked up the Timberwolves players one by one in a pickup truck, guzzling Coke, chewing biscuits, rude and annoying.

Daniel felt that many people were looking at him, as if to measure whether Billy on the screen was the same person as him.

But most people still focus on movies.

Energetic rugby boys flaunt their enthusiasm on pickups.

This is a very pleasing shot.

Jonathan was humiliated... heavy training, games, Billy passed out, and then there was the confrontation between him and Coach Bud.

Daniel's heart lifted.

An unintelligible "tsk" sound came from behind.

The film flows smoothly into the new town hero Jonathan, and then the growing pains of the young hero, which culminates in the lounge where Bud's attempt to ignore all conflict is the best of the film, but he ultimately fails .

The Timberwolves, Lance and Jonathan lead the team together, and they finally put their trust in Billy Bob.

With only a few minutes left in the movie, Billy is of course the last key man, pulling back and eventually overtaking.

At this point in the movie, this group of young people finally achieved a double victory both individually and as a team.

The lights in the projection room came back on, and Brian and Michael took Jon Voight and five young actors to the stage, thanking everyone for their applause, mostly courtesy, of course.

No one expected this to be a movie that would send critics' hormones soaring.

But it is indeed a qualified inspirational film.

The reporters and filmmakers basically settled on the idea of ​​how to write manuscripts and comments when they go back.

The crew then gave a brief interview.

Of course, Daniel was asked about the recent rumors.

"Of course, I'm Billy Bob." Daniel just replied briefly, and the others didn't say anything. It was impossible for the reporters to delay interviews for this gossip, so they had to expose it, but many people Make a note in your heart.

It was almost early morning when he got home from Hilton. Brian took the members for a drink. Of course, Daniel, who was under age, could only drink juice.

The United States is only allowed to drink alcoholic beverages at the age of 21.

The report will come out the next day, but more important film critic comments will be released one after another in the next few weeks. In addition to these film critics who came to the scene, there are also some well-known film critics from all over the country. Homes will get a digital copy, and their reviews will be slower, so they can stay hot until the movie hits theaters.

Cusa broke into Daniel's rental house the next morning.

"Daniel is vague about the question." - Los Angeles Times.

"Elon?"

"No, it was the newspaper invited on the day of the premiere."

This is the first large-scale media to report on the Billy Swap incident. Although it is still small compared to the leader of the New York Times, it is much higher than the previous unknown tabloids.

I don't know if this news has touched the editor's sensitive point. There is actually a big page. The pictures of Daniel before and after weight loss are very clear. They even hired facial recognition experts to identify whether the facial features belong to the same person. These experts obviously still have real materials. They all believe that the two are the same person, but the Los Angeles Times still left a trace of aftertaste at the end, "but the main creative team Daniel's silence and Daniel's own ambiguity still have to be confused."

Cusa and Daniel celebrated his bad news with big media pomp.

In addition to the reports on this news, Daniel actually has other comments, and they are all quite positive, but more or less will include a sentence, "If it is indeed 'Billy'".

For example, the California Morning Post, "As far as the actors' performances are concerned, if I must say, apart from the 'relatively brilliant' performance of Oscar winner Jon Voight, who plays Billy Bob, there is only one **** was an eye-opener, and in a couple of scenes against Jon, Daniel barely missed the mark. Of course, if he really was 'Billy'."

"We need to grasp the level of publicity and release the photos in time." Several influential newspapers have mentioned this news more or less.

As the critics' comments came out slowly, Daniel's performance was also praised many times.

In addition to the further spread of the rumors of dropped packages, Daniel surpassed Paul on IMDB, ranking 61st, only a little lower than James who was 54th.

Just when the filmmakers thought that the popularity would be maintained until the official release, two accidents made "Campus Blues", which will be released in just a few days, enjoy the treatment of a popular movie.

Roger Ebert published a review of "School Blues" in his column, giving it three and a half stars.

What is this concept? "The Godfather 2" only got him three stars.

Although Roger's star rating is always unreliable, his vast influence in the film critic world is still shocking, and the health of the pivotal film critic has been affected by many since his show partner Heath fell ill. Concerned and worried, in fact, he has indeed greatly reduced the itinerary to go out to watch movies, and basically only attended the preview in Chicago.

"School Blues" received his attention as a surprise, and the review said "this film contributes a light-hearted but meaningful enough movie for summer teenagers, you can't let children have to watch David Finn Qi Lai learn what truth."

Roger barely mentioned the actors, and the comments were very brief.

But neither the filmmakers nor the mainstream New York newspapers let it go, and they seemed to regard the film as a potential work that might be forgotten.

When it was about to be released, "School Blues" unexpectedly received a push from the influential New York media.

Fox could hardly keep his mouth shut. According to their estimates, this could add almost millions to 10 million at the box office.

Besides Roger's surprise, another one happened to Daniel.

He finally posted the fitness photos he recorded on the Internet.

The journey of how an obese youth turned into a **** and attractive super handsome guy is clearly and irrefutably shown in front of everyone.

In the last photo, sweat soaked the white T-shirt, showing the looming outline of the muscles along the bear abdominal muscles.

The photo quickly went viral.

"Do you want girls' favor? You need to be like this!"

Entertainment, fitness, women, youth, and online media quoted this picture and released countless news.

Daniel almost immediately rose to No. 1 on IMDB's actor chart.

This is the first time he has fully penetrated into the eyes of his peers.

Even "Campus Blues" also entered the top 30 movies.

It seems that overnight, Daniel has become a superstar with a lot of popularity.

In fact, of course not, and Daniel never expects a hype to get him anywhere.

Cussa was busy dealing with Fox, the release of the fitness records was not planned, their original method of calming the incident was to make a group statement and release the photos of Daniel before he gained weight, the gap between the two is not that big. , can be seen to be the same person. The reason why Cusa did this was to seize the initiative, not from the film, but from the maximization of Daniel's own interests.

He did a good job, and the name hanging in the first place can attest to that.

As for Fox, they also benefited, so what's there to complain about.

"Campus Blues", a film that had little influence, turned into a summer hit after various accidents, and it is indeed a movie suitable for home viewing.

"How about, which ones are more interesting?"

In Hollywood, popularity can often be transformed into opportunities. Cusa received the script from scratch, and then turned it several times.

Daniel flipped through the pages. Almost all of them were campus films and musicals. He really didn't remember much.

His research on Hollywood movies is actually quite a lot, but the more comprehensive and profound ones are some realistic themes. There are indeed very few such "idol" movies.

"Forget it, we'll talk about that later." Cusa was very excited, but he was still selling it professionally. "I just got the first-day box office from Elon. Guess how much?"

Hollywood has long had box office accumulating companies that provide paid services to various distribution companies.

Daniel saw Cusa's excited gesture, he couldn't help but gave him a spoonful of cold water. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Cusa, I don't remember we signed a sharing agreement, oh no, I only have ten thousand dollars."

Cusa ignored him at all.

"Nearly 10 million!" Cusa didn't care about his sarcasm at all. He was now completely caught up in the false sense of accomplishment that he manipulated a miracle. Of course, he would soon wake up.

Ten million!

Daniel couldn't believe it either!

10 million on the first day, which means that if word of mouth does not collapse, the film will be expected to earn more than 80 million at the box office in the United States!

Fox really got a big surprise.

Soon Daniel's phone began to be bombarded intensively.

Since the photo trend started, he found that he seemed to have become more important, and someone would call him to exchange any news.

Cusa said everything was fine.

Both Michael and Walker are here to announce the good news, and they have just won the box office on the first day.

"Hey, this is your first movie, and you have enough presence during the promotion period. Its box office is closely related to you. You don't really only care about the share, right?" Kusa leaned against the sofa comfortably. On, "Another success, Daniel, a pleasure to work with."

Daniel reached out and gave him a high five, and smiled.

In the evening, after the news got out, he even received a phone call from Francis - Peter Jackson's wife, an important figure in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" crew, and she relayed Peter's congratulations.
