If you follow your previous living habits and thinking logic, when facing this problem, Duke must be modest and cautious, and must praise his competitors for a few words, and then appropriately belittle himself and "Breaking into the Deadly Island", otherwise it will inevitably attract criticism.

However, he has lived in this country for more than 20 years. Not to mention that his thinking is completely Westernized, he has also assimilated a lot. Appropriate humility is not impossible, but being too humble will only be regarded as weak and lack of confidence. Moreover, this is a fiercely competitive Hollywood, and others have stepped on it. If he is still modest and cautious, he will only be regarded as a corrupt person who is bullied in the future.

"I watched "Night Visit to Vampire", but I didn't finish it."

In the morning, Duke once went to the cinema and briefly learned about his competitors. "Maybe it's not the type I like. The biggest feeling the video gives me is that the pace is slow and the content is dull..."

There were bursts of laughter and then applause. Most of the people who could sit here were action movie fans, and to a certain extent, they also understood Duke's production style.

Duke shrugged again and interacted with the audience in the audience with a silent expression.

"It seems that I don't think so," Duke continued. "I also saw some situations in the theater where "Night Visit to Vampire" were shown. Many viewers were bored and lost their minds. Many people even left early because they felt dull and bored."

This is not a silly mouth. According to data from the survey company, compared with a fast-paced popcorn film like "Brave the Deadly Island", the exit rate of "Night Visit to the Vampire" is indeed a bit higher.

"Also, there are problems with the actors." Duke had no intention of stopping at all. "The vampire played by Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are cold and handsome enough, but their acting skills..."

He shook his head directly, "To be honest, I think Kelsten Dunst is far better than the two of them in the performance!"

"Do you think there is something wrong with Tom Cruise's performance in the film?"

Host Leno immediately caught the focus of Duke's remarks, which was a big news that increased the ratings. "Can you talk about it in detail?"

"Actually, this is a very obvious problem." Duke spread his hands, and said without even thinking about it. "Starting from Top Gun and even earlier, Tom Cruise has left an extremely deep impression on films such as "Thunder", "Born on July 4th", and "Ambition of the Earth", but have you really remembered the characters?"

After thinking about it, Leno shook his head directly, and more people were shaking their heads in the audience under the stage.

"The reason is simple. In these movies, Tom Cruise turns all the characters he plays into Tom Cruise!"

After hearing Duke's words, a clear sigh rang out from the stage. It was obvious that his words were recognized by many people.

These are things that were once recognized. Tom Cruise and the one in the big ship undoubtedly played the role as their own typical examples. The difference is that in order to make a breakthrough, the latter dared to make himself a uncle, while the former has been playing cool and handsome for decades, and he has almost no improvement in acting.

Smearing is also a subject that requires technical content. Duke naturally won’t speak nonsense, so as not to be embarrassed in the end. Whether it is his evaluation of "Night Visit to Vampire" or his views on Tom Cruise’s acting skills, they are all based on objective facts.

When he returned to the lounge, Duke suddenly realized that he had forgotten to say a few words to Shawn Connery, but it was no big deal. Whether he was slandering or not, the old man's image was extremely bad. A few days ago, I heard Nancy mention that Connery's divorce case was undergoing legal proceedings, and even his son and wife might sue him for domestic violence!

Walking out of the NBC studio, Duke specifically called Nancy Josephson to his car.

"Nancy..."

After starting the car and driving on the road, Duke said, "It is said that Tom Cruise believes in Scientology?"

"That's right." Nancy Josephson nodded, "He should have been introduced to Scientology by his ex-wife."

"I heard that this sect has a bad reputation?" Duke turned the steering wheel and turned to Seventh Street.

Nancy is a smart guy and immediately understands it, "Duke, what do you mean?"

"I believe many tabloids are happy to report it."

Hearing Duke's casual voice, Nancy was slightly dissatisfied, "This should be a job done by public relations, not an agent!"

"Hey, my dear." Duke tilted his head towards the passenger seat, "Don't forget that my investment has your share of income, suppressing the competitiveness of "Night Visit Vampire" and driving the box office numbers of "Brave the Deadly Island" as much as possible will be good for us."

Anyone who has a relationship is not as convincing as these. Before she arrived at the Duke Studio in North Hollywood, Nancy had already taken out her cell phone and started making phone calls, contacting Warner Bros.'s public relations and publicity department, and also mobilizing her own media relationship with ICM.

This is the case in this circle. In front of the media and the public, they can stand together and take photos with a smile, as if they are the most loyal friends in the circle. When competing in private, they will pour black water on the other party without mercy. Duke is not the first person to discredit his competitors, nor will he be the last one.

As a result, many tabloids across the United States, especially the gossip newspapers under the Warner Group, began to criticize Tom Cruise's beliefs as if they were problematic, especially interfering with Nicole Kidman's freedom of belief. After the two got married, they forced the latter to give up Catholicism and instead believe in Scientology.

This is a country of freedom of belief. Generally speaking, other people cannot interfere with other people's freedom of belief. The same is true for the media. However, the tabloids are not big newspapers after all, and they have no bottom line at all. While talking about Tom Cruise's belief, they are afraid of being unconvincing, and they also listed some ridiculous things that Scientology did...

Among them, there are even tabloids that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage was not because of love, but based on the planning of Scientology and agency, which was simply a game to fool the public.

It is no exaggeration to say that many tabloids have vaguely portrayed Tom Cruise as a standard evil believer.

As for whether the Scientology Church is causing trouble, these tabloids don’t care. They wish someone would cause trouble every day and attract attention every day.

Duke and Warner are in the dark about the main creative team of "Night Visit to the Vampire" led by Tom Cruise. The other party is also slandering him. What is recommended for actresses close to him to join the crew? Success is not because of personal efforts, but because of family relationships. Apart from sabotage, the movie has no creativity at all, etc.

Compared to the Cruise couple who were said to have a sudden quarrel while shopping, Duke has a very good mentality. After seeing it, Xiaoxiao forgot that he has a strong personality. In that era of information explosion, he has never seen any bottom-line publicity methods?

Of course, according to Duke's speculation, Tom Cruise's tantrum was also related to the single-day box office of "Night Visit to Vampire" on Saturday.

No one can deny that "Night Visit to Vampire" has maintained a professional media score of around 8.7 points, and completely defeated "Breaking into the Deadly Island" and fell straight to a professional rating of 7.3. If the two films were in the awards season to hit the academic awards, the latter would have no possibility of surpassing the former.

Unfortunately, this is the summer season, a period of popcorn movies. CAA and Twentieth Century Fox obviously overestimated the box office appeal that superstars can bring, underestimated the impact of the film type, and also ignored the role of the movie advertisements that appeared in the Super Bowl for the first time!

At the North American box office on Friday, "Night Visit to Vampire" did steadily overwhelm "Brave the Deadly Island", but the role of hardcore fans cannot be ignored. As the premiere day temporarily consumed the enthusiasm of their respective hardcore supporters, the audience's reputation and publicity and promotion played a crucial role.

The audience reputation of "Night Visit to Vampire" has been declining, and the box office figures followed. Saturday's single-day box office fell to $8.2 million, while "Break the Deadly Island" has an extremely obvious upward trend. The word-of-mouth power brought substantial box office figures. The box office in North America surged from $10.13 million to $15.66 million this day!

Most importantly, Duke is convinced that there is no moisture in the box office of "The Blade of the Deadly Island", and it is hard to say how much of "The Night Visit to the Vampire" comes from Tom Cruise's waist bag.

If it weren't for the smear from the competitors, Duke even felt that the second day of the film's box office could have a rush to $20 million, but he knew that this was impossible. The film wanted to crush the world of pure goodness without competition? Please, this is Hollywood!

This box office figure inspired Warner Bros. Although they never clearly informed Duke, Warner's expectation for the first week of the film is $25 million. As long as this number can be reached, according to Warner's promotion, the film's North American box office will eventually exceed 100 million.

"I didn't expect that it took only two days,"

Sitting in his office chair, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Trasuha was a little moved, "The box office of the film reached $25.79 million. Jeff, you insisted on working with Duke Rosenberg and took a very correct move."

Even though he was just smiling, anyone could tell that Jeff Robinoff was in a great mood. He said, "There is still the theater problem. Kevin, CAA and Twentieth Century Fox have been putting pressure on AMG and Emperor Entertainment, and we should do something."

"I'll call their CEO in person!"

If you can achieve a beautiful performance in the final stage of your term, Kevin Trasuha will not only find a better next home for himself, but also get a considerable bonus. "I will notify the group company and let them put pressure on them."
