On the second day of the preview, the number of theaters in the first week of "Sin City" released in North America was truly determined. The film will be released on the last weekend of April. The number of theaters released by Murphy has never been seen before, setting a new personal record. Miramax gave the latest announcement of 2,850!
Although it is incomparable to the number of theaters with a total of 4,000+ in the future, Murphy knows very well that in 2003, this can be classified as a super-large-scale release.
Miramax uses almost all available resources in the North American market.
Caa is also working hard. The company's film department actively contacted the media to push promotional materials related to "Sin City", and constantly took advantage of the opportunity to hype its four actors, Robert Downey Jr., James Franko, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill. Of course, Murphy is indispensable.
Pictures and related news of the five people frequently appear on paper media and Internet platforms. The intensive publicity bombing also quickly spread the popularity of their small group.
"I have contacted Vanity Fair, and they do intend to do an exclusive interview!"
In a reception room on the top floor of the Death Star Building, Bill Roses looked at the five Murphy sitting lazily on the single sofa, "However, I think the interview will be arranged for the best effect after the film is released."
Grace, an agent in charge of public relations and media promotion, also spoke, "I discussed it with Bill. The film's preview reputation is very good. If the market reputation and box office on the first weekend can be outstanding after it is officially released, we will take this opportunity to launch an exclusive interview, which will maximize the effect the film brings to you."
Murphy nodded, "I have no objection. You are experts, and you will do this."
At the end of yesterday's preview, he mentioned Jennifer Mona's exclusive interview with Bill Roses. Bill Roses immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He communicated with the company's senior management that night, contacted Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", and finalized the interview as quickly as possible.
"I have a question," Seth Logan asked puzzledly, "This is Murphy's interview. What do you want us to do?"
"Because this is more than Murphy's interview, Grace and I made a plan," Bill Rosess took a few documents and stood up and distributed them to Murphy's five. "In the promotion of "Horror Planet", the team used was very effective in promoting it. The public likes to see celebrities... or the deep brotherhood between you..."
Hearing this, Murphy couldn't help laughing, and Robert Downey Jr., James Franko, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill also laughed.
"Of course," said Bill Roses, "you have a good relationship. If that's the case, why not continue to show it to the public?"
This is not a false propaganda that will be exposed. As long as you know them a little, you will know that this is a small group that is united and mutually helpful.
Murphy exchanged glances with the other four people, nodded and said, "Of course."
No matter what the point is, this is a good or bad thing.
"The plan that Grace and I made," Bill Roses pointed to the information in their hands. "You still appear in the team this time, but the focus this time is no longer Donnie and Jim, but Murphy."
Robert Downey Jr. said without hesitation after reading the information, "No problem."
They are not opposed to such propaganda methods.
Later, Grace explained a few things to note and asked the five people to be as high-profile as possible recently.
"It's now in the promotional period of the film. Every time you appear in the news media, you may bring more attention to your works." This female agent is very good at news and public relations. "If you have a girlfriend, take your girlfriend to popular places to go shopping. If you don't have a girlfriend, it's best to have some scandals. I will communicate with the media taking photos and paparazzi."
After finishing the matter, Jonah Hill stood up first, stretched, and said deliberately, "Why should I go out for a walk with Seth?"
"That's not news," James Franko sarcastically, "it's a scandal!"
Seth Logan gave Jonah Hill a pair of eyes, "If you want to make a fool of yourself, please don't drag me on."
"You are so unfaithful!" Jonah Hill glared at him, and Seth Rogan shrugged, with an expression of how you can do to me. "I won't tell you anymore. I'll ask someone to go on Rodel Avenue now, and you guys continue."
Murphy waved his hand casually, "Let's go."
As he said that, he also stood up, "It's almost noon, I have a lunch date. See you at the premiere."
"Hey, put on us!" Robert Downey Jr. suddenly said, James Franco touched his stomach, "I didn't even eat breakfast, so it's hard to take you without treating me?"
"You can go to the restaurant below to have a meal," Murphy raised his briefcase, "and wrote it on Jonah's account."
"You are so generous!" Jonah Hill gave him a middle finger, "Did you have made an appointment with that lady of Israel?"
Murphy waved his hand, ignored these guys, turned around and walked out of the reception room, took the elevator to the first floor, left the Death Star Building and drove into the car, walked around Century City, confirmed that there was no tail behind, and then drove towards Rodel Avenue in Beverly Hills. He and Gal Gadot had made an appointment to meet here early this morning.
As a famous commercial street, Rodel Avenue is not spacious. Murphy did not drive in, and found the parking lot to park his car. Walking into the street, he saw Gal Gadot's tall figure from a coconut tree from a distance.
Gale Gadot was wearing a sun hat, and there were wide-edged sunglasses under the sun hat. The brim and sunglasses covered most of the face. If it weren't for the long legs wrapped in jeans under a short tight T-shirt, Murphy wouldn't have recognized it immediately.
When he walked to the three-way intersection, Murphy happened to stand opposite Gal Gadot. Gal Gadot also saw him, raised his arm to wave to him, and the smile on his face was brighter than the sunlight above his head.
Murphy waved to her, and when the green light was green, he strode over.
"Are you anxious?"
Walking under the coconut tree, Murphy hid in the shade where Gal Gadot stood, "I can't push things out in the morning."
"It's not long since I've come," Gal Gadot smiled and shook his head, "Work is important."
"Let's go," Murphy pulled Gal Gadot and left, "I'll take you around."
Gal Gadot struggled lightly, and saw that Murphy had no intention of letting go, he followed him.
The two walked slowly along the street, just like all young men and women, when they encountered shops or products they were interested in, they would turn in and take a look. Murphy wanted to give Gal Gadot gifts several times, but she strongly refused.
"I just want to come to the street," Gal Gadot said to Murphy very seriously. "I don't want to shop."
However, at Murphy's insistence, she still accepted two not very expensive souvenirs.
Murphy was also very clear that with the current relationship between the two, giving too expensive things will only have the opposite effect. The two have been together for a while, and he knew that Gal Gadot's family background was not bad at all.
Most of the time, the two of them walked along the street, and Gal Gadot was obviously more interested in the decoration style of the shop here than the products inside.
This avenue contains all the most expensive shops in Southern California, and each shop has its own unique architectural style.
Of course, the famous saying here is: "Don't ask the price for buying things, if you ask, you can't afford it."
All famous jewelry and clothing are found here. Each store is decorated in a magnificent manner. Not only is it more impressive than other shopping areas, but each building is extremely attentive in the design inside and outside the city, reflecting the perfect combination of art and commerce.
There are many famous stores on both sides of the street, but unfortunately Murphy is not a follower of fashion, so many brands are too unfamiliar with him.
"Are you tired?"
Walking outside an ice cream shop, Murphy saw many sun umbrellas erected on the side of the road, and there were tables and chairs under the sun umbrellas for passers-by to rest. He pulled Gal Gadot over and said, "You sit for a while, I'll go buy cold drinks."
"I want water." Gal Gadot reminded.
Murphy nodded, went to the cold drink shop to ask for two bottles of mineral water, and came back and sat opposite Gal Gadot.
"I'm not very familiar with this place," Murphy handed over a bottle of water, "I haven't been here much before."
"It can be seen," Gal Gadot unscrewed the cap and took a sip. "Has anyone analyzed that men have a natural repulsion for shopping."
She said bluntly, "I learned from Uncle Niwo that he said you are a very hard-working person, and such a person is definitely not interested in shopping."
"It's not that I'm not interested," Murphy gently turned the water bottle in his hand. "My friends are all men now. You can't pull men out shopping together, right? That's too weird."
Gal Gadot suddenly pointed to a table twenty feet away, underneath the sun umbrella were two men, and their behavior was very close.
She leaned closer, covered her mouth, and lowered her voice and said, "Don't discriminate against comrades."
Murphy raised his eyebrows and approached Gal Gadot, "Don't frame it!"
The two faces were less than a foot away, and the breaths they exhaled were audible to each other. Gal Gadot could see some faint scars on Murphy's face that were not easily noticed. Murphy vaguely saw his shadow from her bright eyes, just as he felt, he was walking into the girl's heart step by step.
The two pairs of bright eyes finally met. After only a second of entanglement, Gal Gadot looked away.
Murphy turned his head slightly, and just saw the two red lips when he suddenly realized that less than thirty feet behind Gal Gadot, a man with a beard raised his camera toward him.
