Beverly Hills, a well-known wealthy and celebrity settlement in North America, is located in Cruise Manor on the South Hillside, occupying half a small hill alone. This is the residence of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise who is moving towards a super king. It is also the focus of paparazzi and media attention. His every move of his and his beautiful wife can easily attract the attention of the public in the United States. ≥

The early morning sun had just climbed into the sky. Tom Cruise left the gym, took a towel and wiped off the sweat from his head. Hearing Nicole Kidman's greeting, he first took all the newspapers of today from the newspaper stand, and then slowly walked into the restaurant.

"Dear, your breakfast."

Just now sitting at the dining table, Nicole Kidman brought coffee and porcelain plates and placed them in front of him.

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Instead of enjoying breakfast immediately, Tom Cruise opened the newspaper. Nicole Kidman, who was sitting opposite him, frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but finally endured it.

When he turned to the entertainment page, Tom Cruise only glanced at it for a few times, and the corners of his mouth curled up, looking in a good mood.

"Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a large number of characters and a grand scene, the story is old-fashioned and the plot is unsatisfactory. This is the kind of movie we've watched and will soon forget. It's a typical American fool-in-law entertainment movie!"

It is obvious that the promotional campaign of Caa and Twentieth Century Fox for "Battle of the Deadly Island" has begun.

"Cool action is cool, the design feels too strong; the plot is cliché, and the logic is too poor..."

Even though he knew that most of these were the result of his own public relations, Tom Cruise still opened the entertainment version of the newspaper and enjoyed browsing it. It seemed that with these, "Brave the Deadly Island" would become a super bad movie that was despised by the audience.

However, in the following newspapers, Tom Cruise saw a lot of negative comments about "A Night Visit to Vampire".

"The film is flashy and long-lasting, and the acting skills of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are far from enough for the vampire they play!"

"A numb movie, a hodgepodge that is unknown..."

Seeing this, Tom Cruise understood that Warner Bros.'s publicity department was not idle either. While promoting its videos, like them, he still attacked his competitors without hesitation.

The phone in the living room suddenly rang, and Nicole Kidman hurriedly ran out, and after more than ten seconds he walked back with a cordless phone.

"Pate's phone." She handed it over.

After taking the cordless phone call, Tom Cruise's face gradually became gloomy when he heard the numbers reported by his agent.

"Tom..." Seeing Cruise put down the phone, Nicole Kidman asked tentatively, "How much did our video get in the first day of the box office?"

“$13.89 million!”

This number sounds quite good. If it can be maintained in the next two days, maybe the first week of the film will be $40 million, and winning the weekend box office championship is definitely not a problem.

"Where is "Battle of the Deadly Island?" Nicole Kidman asked again.

“$10.13 million!”

Hearing the number that Tom Cruise said, Nicole Kidman immediately understood the reason for his change in face. Her famous husband contributed a full $3 million to the box office of "Night Visit to the Vampire" yesterday!

In other words, if no one else was doing it, the real first-day box office of "Vampire Night" was $10.89 million! It was only more than $700,000 higher than "Brave the Deadly Island", while the latter only had 2,512 theaters in the first week, while the former had as high as 2,689!

Nicole Kidman knew that from directors to actors, the other party was basically a relatively poor group of people in the circle. I believe that the box office of "Brave the Deadly Island" was not much watery on the first day, and the box office appeal of these people was really limited. Even if they were combined, they were not as good as Cruise on the opposite side. Could it be that the effect of the Super Bowl midfield advertisement was so terrifying?

But she didn't know that Tom Cruise's face changed because of the other two numbers!

As the scale of screenings expands, more and more people watch the film. The survey and consulting company hired by 20th Century Fox has collected more real audience feedback. The audience reputation of "Night Visit Vampire" quickly dropped from a score of more than 79% of midnight scenes to 68.5%. The score of the audience a score of more than 100% of the competitor "Brave the Deadly Island" has only dropped by three percentage points, and is still as high as 89%!

Although the first day of watching "The Battle of the Deadly Island" must be an action movie fan or a tendency, isn't "Night Visit to Vampire" also a lot of book fans and his own fans?

Even as arrogant as Tom Cruise, he understands the simplest truth in the industry. Multiplying the reputation of commercial films, media ratings and professional film critics in the summer season by twice, it is not as good as the market acceptance of the film that can be reflected by the audience's reputation. The first two are just promotional means, while the latter represents market response!

More importantly, according to the feedback from the survey company, "Night Visit to Vampire" showed an early exit of varying degrees during the screening!

Yesterday morning, Tom Cruise went to watch "Brave the Deadly Island". The single-round artistic expression, "Night Visit to Vampire" completely made this film, but art has never been a decisive factor in market returns during the summer and even in all periods of films!

For a moment, he even had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Tom Cruise's new work is completely defeated..."

"Superstars can't stand the impact of new directors..."

Don't think about it, Tom Cruise knew that the media would sarcastically at that time. He has gone too smoothly over the years, and countless people would like to be unlucky. He is a good joke and can step on it a few times.

Thinking of this, he picked up the cordless phone and dialed the agent's number, "Pate, I have something to discuss with you, OK! See you in half an hour!"

"Tom..."

The voice of reminders came from the phone. Pat Kingsley obviously knew that Tom Cruise was actually not the kind of star that can make people feel at ease. If it weren't for her efforts to build it with Caa and public relations over the years, he would have had such a healthy image as he is now. Just a matter of arrogant personality and belief, he would have caused countless troubles.

"The Night Visit to the Vampire" has just been released. There must be reporters and paparazzi squatting around your residence. Don't talk nonsense!" No one around you knows these stars than your agent.

"I get it." Tom Cruise hung up impatiently and stood up to Nicole Kidman and said, "I'll go out."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No!"

He strode towards the garage, and a blue supercar rushed out quickly and headed straight for the manor gate.

When going out and turning, the speed of the car inevitably decreased. A large number of reporters and paparazzi carried the cameras, and the cameras and recorders flocked to both sides of the sports car. Even if Cruise kept honking the whistle, he could not increase the speed. He kept loudly asking questions outside the windows.

"Tom, the first day of box office and reputation of "Night Visit to Vampire" has been released. Can you tell me what you think?"

"Did Mr. Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kelsten Dunst actually kiss during the filming? I heard that the Child Protection Association had intervened in the investigation?"

When Tom Cruise heard this question, he thought of Warner Bros. It must be their fault for this kind of thing.

In an instant, his already gloomy mood became much worse.

"Mr. Cruise! Someone revealed that you went to see "The Island of Death" yesterday. Can you comment on this movie?"

Suddenly, a bigger voice sounded, and even through the window glass, Tom Cruise could hear it clearly. "Also, according to the data released by Warner Bros. in the media this morning, the audience's reputation of "The Break to the Deadly Island" has been better than "The Night Visit to the Vampire". Warner believes that "The Break to the Deadly Island" will definitely come from behind and win this week's box office championship. If the weekly box office championship is lost, will this have an impact on your next movie choice?"

Subconsciously, Tom Cruise stepped on the brakes, and Ben stopped completely like a snail-speed sports car. You should know that there are still two days left this week, and the subsequent box office development is still unknown. In the eyes of that reporter, it seems that his movie has failed!

The audience reputation of "Brave the Deadly Island"? Tom Cruise sneered a few times in his heart, thinking that he should do something, after all, he is a superstar with super appeal!

There is no public relations, no agent, no deep-minded Nicole Kidman, and no one can stop Tom Cruise. If Duke stood here, he would have guessed that this guy who was wrapped up by Pat Kingsley and Caa was actually abrupt and arrogant person, would definitely speak out!

The window of the sports car slowly lowered, and all the reporters were stunned, and then countless camera lenses and recorders were aimed at the faces in the window.

"Is "Battle of the Deadly Island" great? I don't think so, it's a movie full of mistakes everywhere!"

He shrugged his shoulders in a cool manner, Tom Cruise suppressed his unhappiness and showed his signature smile. He didn't even need a reporter to ask, and he jumped out one sentence after another when it came to "Brave the Deadly Island".

"You all know that I have worked with the military and have also filmed military-themed films like Top Gun. As long as you watch them with a serious eye, you can find that "Brave the Deadly Island" is full of mistakes. These mistakes are very low-level and seriously affect the logic and the realistic nature of the film. It even makes people wonder whether director Duke Rosenberg wants to shoot a realist film or a pure fantasy film!"

Hearing Tom Cruise's usual confident words, the reporters and paparazzi were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They could see that no one in the sports car could remind Cruise that some heavy information would be dug out today!

"Tom! Tom!"
Chapter completed!
