America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 243 242. Call for Omei

Los Angeles, Arclight Theatre.

A long red carpet extended from the entrance of the theater. This was the first premiere held by MGM this year. The filming of "A Quiet Place" started last year and took more than half a year.

The investment in the movie was actually not large. It was expected to be 15 million US dollars, but it ended up costing 17 million US dollars. Although it was a bit over budget, it was still within an acceptable range. The money was mainly used for special effects to create the monster. more realistic.

The cost of publicity is not large, MGM only invested US$3.5 million, and the total cost of the film is only about US$20 million.

It can be regarded as a large-scale production in an ordinary independent small company, but it is just a scratch-off game in a few large factories.

For a movie of this scale, there is actually no need to hold a premiere. After all, even "Saw 2" didn't have a premiere.

As a big boss, Eric usually doesn't attend, but one of the protagonists of the movie is Elizabeth Olsen, his sister-in-law and the girl who almost became his goddaughter.

Ashley and Mary begged themselves to attend to support their sister. He flew around the world for more than half a month. The two sluts were also a little horny and were waiting for comfort.

In addition to these loving children, there were also some more important official matters that needed to be handled by him personally, so he flew back to Los Angeles.

The crew of "Inception" is temporarily in charge of Neil. He has already led the team to Chile. Everything will go according to the script and there will be no major problems.

"Elizabeth, come closer to Ashley and Mary. We need a group photo."

On the red carpet, the atmosphere suddenly became heated with the arrival of the Olsen sisters.

With their Golden Globe and Oscar nominations still lingering, the two are now Hollywood's hottest A-list stars.

Later, some young actors came to support one after another. The Olsen sisters relied on their own connections to bring them to the stage.

Paris Hilton, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Biel, Monica Keena, Rachel Roberts, Jeffrey Pierce.

The three sisters all dressed up to attend. Although Elizabeth is only 15 years old, her growth rate is the same as Swift's, and she is already taller than her two sisters.

The flashing lights kept flashing, and everyone came up to take photos.

"Mary, aren't you at odds with Jessica Biel? Why is she here too?" O'Mei asked quietly.

While saying hello to her friends, Mary helped her sister straighten her collar: "Elizabeth, this is Hollywood. As long as you become popular, they will kneel down and lick you."

"It's not that I have a deep grudge against her, it's just a competition for roles. I was at a party some time ago, and she took the initiative to chat with me, and that's how it ended."

"Ryan, my sister Elizabeth."

Ahead, Ashley brought Ryan Gosling to meet Omei.

When she was chatting with Eric, she once talked about the younger generation in Hollywood.

Eric casually mentioned a few names, thinking they had the potential to become a big hit, and Ashley took them all to heart.

Whenever I get a chance, I will make friends with these people.

Parties are held every day in Hollywood. After a few chance encounters, strangers become familiar with each other and relationships are established.

For these new generations who have not yet risen, the Olsen sisters have become someone they need to look up to.

Not only is the company becoming more and more prosperous, but it has also won the Golden Globe Award and has completely transformed successfully. It is my luck to be friends with her.

Ryan Gosling smiled: "Hello Elizabeth, I heard this movie is your debut."

O'Mei shook her head shyly: "It doesn't count. In fact, I made a guest appearance in a TV series, although my role was very small."

"No, no, no, that doesn't count. Don't take TV series as your starting point, but think here, the big screen, is the goal we actors should pursue."

"Just like your sister!" Next to her, Rachel McAdams suddenly appeared and interjected.

Looking at this young and beautiful beauty who suddenly appeared, Aomei couldn't help but trembled in her heart: "What a beautiful girl."

Ryan Gosling pointed at the other party: "Do you need me to introduce you?"

"Haha. But it seems like you just met each other."

"At least one minute ahead of you."

"Elizabeth, this is Rachel McAdams, a girl from Canada. She is not only beautiful but also has good acting skills. She is a very good actress."

"Ryan, you seem to know Rachel very well. Are you good friends?" Ashley looked at the two of them curiously.

Rachel McAdams grinned widely: "Because this guy and I just finished a movie together, a youth movie with a love theme."

"Is it released?" Aomei asked hurriedly.

"No, I heard it's scheduled to be released in June, but that's the company's business. It's invested by New Line."

As she spoke, Rachel grabbed Omei's little hand in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, little girl, our movie is called "The Notebook". Judging from the name, there is no possibility of conflict with "A Quiet Place". The audience is a different group of people. ”

"What's more, I'm worried about hitting MGM's movies. Who doesn't know now that MGM's movies almost never lose money."

"And you will definitely become popular. In addition to rarely losing money, MGM is also recognized as being very good at promoting newcomers."

Wow.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"It looks like someone big is coming."

Before Rachel McAdams finished speaking, Eric, dressed in a casual suit, got out of the Lincoln sedan and walked quickly onto the red carpet.

Seeing him appear, many people immediately sighed to themselves that this trip was not in vain.

The media hopes to extract some useful information from him, and the actors hope to show their face in front of the big boss.

"Eric, aren't you filming abroad? Why did you come to the premiere?" a reporter asked.

"This is a movie I invested in. Is there any problem with coming to participate?"

"No, I mean how is the filming progress of "Inception"? Can you reveal some news? Everyone is looking forward to it."

Eric waved his hand: "Today's protagonist is "A Quiet Place". I don't want to answer any questions that are irrelevant to it. Please focus on the movie, okay?"

With that said, he ignored the paparazzi's questioning, quickly caught up with his girls, and gave Ashley and Mary a polite kiss on their faces. The real gunfight could wait until after the premiere.

"Sorry Elizabeth, the plane encountered turbulence, but it was not too late after all."

"What! Air flow! It sounds dangerous!" Omei covered her mouth.

"It's nothing. I've encountered it many times. As long as it's not a typhoon, I can always get through it safely. I just changed my clothes and rushed over."

"I shouldn't have invited you to attend if I had known better. If something happened, I would have become the sinner of the Olsen family."

Hearing their sister's words, Ashley and Mary's hearts skipped a beat, feeling something was wrong.

"Hello boss, do you still have an impression of me?" Rachel McAdams smiled and stretched out her hand to say hello.

Eric shook hands with her: "Of course Rachel, did the filming of "Mean Girls" go well? I haven't heard any reports recently."

A big boss like Eric actually remembered his name. Rachel nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Everything went well. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Wait, are you talking about "Mean Girls"? Is it the script you showed me and Mary?" Ashley suddenly remembered something.

Eric hummed: "You were the first choice, but you two didn't want to act, so Rachel's audition was successful."

"What! It's like this! Ashley, Mary, it seems I should treat you to a big meal." Rachel's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's best. Didn't you just say that MGM is the best at promoting newcomers? Rachel, you are going to be popular this time."

Ha ha ha ha

After chatting for a while, Eric put his arm around Omei's shoulders and took photos for the paparazzi. The two stood together, looking a bit like a couple.

"Eric, as Elizabeth Olsen's debut work, do you have anything to say to her?" a reporter from the Los Angeles Post asked.

O'Mei raised her head slightly and looked at Eric, her eyes filled with expectation.

Eric also looked at her and said loudly: "Elizabeth Olsen, she will be a rising star in Hollywood!"

The paparazzi immediately wrote down this sentence, good, we have a topic for tomorrow.

O'Mei felt sweet in her heart: "Thank you Eric."

"With our relationship, do we still need to say thank you? Enjoy tonight."

"Um."

Looking at Eric's leaving figure, Ryan Gosling said with some jealousy: "You seem to be too enthusiastic."

"What? Are you jealous?" Rachel McAdams glanced at the other party.

Hehehe laughed a few times, but the man said nothing.

They fell in love after filming "The Notebook". Although there are countless handsome men in the entertainment industry, few of them can arouse Ryan Gosling's high vigilance. He is still confident in his own charm and family background.

However, Eric Cooper is obviously excepted. The opponent's level is too high. Even if he is standing there, he doesn't know how many female stars want to pounce on him. Taking the initiative to take action is even more devastating.

"Come on, I don't have any feelings for Eric Cooper, and he won't like me." Rachel McAdams waved her hand.

"How do you know? You are so beautiful."

"I think it's probably because I don't have a similar-looking twin."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, or the paparazzi will hear you!" Ryan Gosling hurriedly stopped his girlfriend.

Although some people secretly speculate that the Olsen sisters are two maids serving one husband, but speculation is just speculation. It depends on the person making pornographic rumors, so be careful of being banned!

Everyone walked into the theater, and Eric chatted with important members of the crew.

Among them, John Corbett plays the role of the father. This guy is a multi-talented artist on the big screen, small screen and music industry, and has achieved good results in all three aspects.

The most well-known role in the movie is "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the year before last. This movie is a successful example of small and big.

The cost of 5 million U.S. dollars earned nearly 370 million U.S. dollars in global box office, ranking among the top ten at the box office that year. John Corbett was the leading actor.

Playing the role of the mother is Mexican actress Lola Harlin, whose best-known work is the famous suspense masterpiece "Mulholland Drive."

Although she is 39 years old, Laura Harlin's beauty has not diminished, but has become more charming.

It's just that she was not very lucky and never became popular. Instead, she is best known for her marriage to a descendant of Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister of the First German Empire, so she was called Countess for several years.

Eric, the little boy who plays the younger brother, was not impressed, he must be a newcomer.

As the theater lights dimmed, the MGM logo appeared, the golden lion roared a few times, and the movie officially began.

Eric made appropriate changes to the plot to make it seem more reasonable.

First of all, the male protagonist was changed to a somewhat basic scientist assistant, and some unpleasant plot points were also given to the son to ensure that the sister played by Omei would be popular with the audience.

The background is clearly explained in the first few minutes. Alien monsters have invaded the earth. Countries are either being destroyed or shrinking to study ways to deal with the monsters.

The monster has no eyes, but its hearing is very keen. It relies on hearing to catch prey, so the survivors cannot make a single sound.

The family came to the store to search for supplies. The younger brother gave a toy airplane to the third child in the family, but no one noticed that the third child secretly took the battery.

So the plane made noise, attracting the monster, and killed the third child with one blow.

Whoosh!

Many people in the cinema screamed when they saw the huge ghost shadow flashing by and the children who were suddenly knocked away.

Generally speaking, characters like children receive special treatment in movies and do not directly show death scenes, but this does not mean that they cannot die.

The idea that Hollywood bans the death of children and pets is sheer nonsense.

The reason why there are so few is purely for ratings.

Even if death occurs, as long as there is no blood flying around, no limbs or arms, and as long as the screen switches quickly enough, the impact will not be significant.

"A Quiet Place" received a PG13 rating, which is not even R-rated.

The sister played by O Mei was deaf-mute and did not notice that her brother started the toy airplane and did not stop him in time, so she blamed herself very much.

What follows is a daily battle of wits and courage between the family and monsters, repairing the family rift, and at the same time preparing for the new life to come.

The father is responsible and brave, the mother is extremely resolute, Omei acts as a qualified assistant to the father, and the brother is responsible for the fucked up plot that caused the conflict. Someone has to take the blame, right?

The depressing atmosphere and the close gaze of monsters made the audience in the cinema put their hearts in their throats. Until the father died in order to save his family, everyone couldn't help but sigh in unison.

As Omei noticed the monster's weakness of being afraid of high-frequency vibrations, her mother finally killed a monster with one shot, and the feeling of fear and suffocation was released in an instant.

Finally, facing the monster that attacks again, the family is no longer afraid, they want to avenge their family, and the movie ends abruptly.

The theater lights came back on, the creators took the stage to express their thanks, and many viewers spontaneously stood up and applauded.

bang bang bang bang

Seeing this scene, Eric knew clearly that the movie was successful. High-concept horror movies gave the audience a sense of freshness and allowed them to feel the long-lost creativity, which is the most attractive.

Let's wait and see if "A Quiet Place" can surpass "Saw" at the box office.

After all, in the original time and space, it exceeded too much.
