Warner Bros.'s office floor came and went. Although he rushed back to Burbank from San Francisco in the early morning, Charles Rowan was full of energy. He took the latest statistics sent to his hands and quickly walked to Jeff Robinoff's office, knocked on the door twice, pushed the door and walked in.

"Jeff..." He walked directly to his desk and said without waiting to sit down, "Midnight box office statistics and audience reputation have spread."

Seeing Jeff Robinoff looking up at him, Charles Rowan quickly said, "The 2,512 theaters in the Midnight show, "Brave the Deadly Island" won $3.28 million, nearly 800,000 more than we expected! The survey company we hired immediately consulted 5,877 viewers, of which A+ score rate was 78%, A+ score rate was 92%, and C+ score was less than one percent!"

Charles Rowan's words were faintly excited. Although he knew that the audience of midnight shows was limited, and most of the audience was action movie lovers, and the ratings had a natural advantage, such a huge reputation as midnight shows, let alone last year's "Batman Returns", even the well-received "Batman" has never been achieved!

"Duke didn't disappoint us!"

Jeff Robinoff slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not without competitors within Warner Bros., and fully supported Duke's new work and also under a lot of pressure. Now, the reputation and box office that exceeded expectations in the midnight show can always explain many problems even if it cannot fully represent the film's performance.

"I think the 2,512 theaters we won in the first week are a bit too conservative." Charles Rowan sat down.

"There's no way, Charles." Jeff Robinoff shook his head. "CAA and Twentieth Century Fox have also invested huge resources in "Night Visit Vampire". There are only so many theaters and screens in North America. With them in it, we can't get about 3,000 theaters like Batman."

Charles Rowan also understands this, and also knows that with Warner Bros., "Night Visit to Vampire" can't even reach the release scale of about 3,000 stores.

Competition in Hollywood is everywhere. From scripts to roles to actors to funds to directors and theaters, they are all battlefields for film companies to fight for extremely projects. If the films of small companies with distribution rights want to be released on a large scale and compete directly with large companies? Just theaters, top distribution companies can kill them.

"Where is "Night Visit to Vampire"?" Jeff Robinoff thought of his competitors.

"The box office is better than we expected." Charles Rowan sat in a chair and continued, "2,689 theaters in the midnight event, with a box office of $3.97 million!"

"But..." His eyes flashed, "According to the situation reported by the investigation company, "Night Visit to Vampire" has purchased a certain number of tickets in major cities but did not enter the venue."

Jeff Robinoff immediately understood the meaning of Charles Rowan's words and nodded, "It must be Tom Cruise's move to support the box office. This is not the first time."

It is common for Hollywood movie stars to spend money on the box office themselves, and Tom Cruise is definitely one of the most famous ones.

"If you calculate this way," Charles Rowan said, "The midnight box office of "The Vampire Night" is indeed higher than "The Island of Deadly", but the gap is definitely not as big as the box office numbers."

“Where is the reputation?”

After hearing Robinoff’s question, Charles Rowan looked through the information in his hand and said, “The current professional reputation of statistics is 8.7 points in "Night Visit Vampire" and only 7.6 points in "Brave the Deadly Island".

"Not to say this." Robinoff shook his finger, "The reputation of the critics does not have much significance for summer films, and the reputation of the audience."

"This is the news revealed by 20th Century Fox," Luo Wen tried to speed up his speech. "The Midnight Tour of the Vampire" received 6,125 audience feedback, with A+ scoring rate of 63%, A+ scoring rate of 79%, and C+ scoring rate of 2.1%.

Next, the two discussed some other things, such as theaters and publicity strategies.

At the same time, the main creators and project leaders of "Night Visit to Vampire" including Tom Cruise and others in the Fox Building in Century City are also paying attention to similar statistics. These survey data have never been confidential, and it is not difficult for major companies to obtain them.

After discussing the subsequent promotional plan, only Tom Cruise, his agent and Fox's senior management were soon left in the conference room.

“We are behind in terms of audience reputation.”

All the people here are senior industry insiders, and few people pay attention to professional reputation. The purpose of this film is not to win awards. "Although it has an advantage in the box office, a big factor is Tom's appeal."

As soon as Pat Kingsley finished speaking, Tom Cruise said directly to Fox CEO, "Townsen, I suggest that in addition to the normal publicity of "Night Visit to Vampire", it is necessary for us to think about "Brave the Deadly Island".

His words have been recognized by most people. While promoting his own videos, he will smear competitors. This is a normal way of competition for major Hollywood companies.

"I'll contact the media," said Martin Bob.

"Well..." Townsend Rossman nodded, "I will call Emperor Entertainment Group and AMG Chain Group in person to reduce the number of theaters in "Brave the Deadly Island" next week as much as possible!"

The competition in the film is not about showing off the obvious sword and gun, but directly rushing to the front. Many of the work is actually behind the scenes.

Warner knew this, Twentieth Century Fox knew this, and Duke knew this.

Duke didn't have much surprises or much worries to get the midnight box office and audience reputation from Robin Grand. Neither "The Vampire Night" nor "The Island of Deadly", it would be a bad movie that was so bad that it was too bad. If the former could maintain its former level, it would definitely be his strong enemy.

"If you want to succeed, you cannot be afraid of competition!"

Standing in front of the dressing mirror and tidying up his clothes, Duke said to Shania Tangen, who seemed a little awkward to walk behind him, "Any successful director is rushing out of the competition and siege. If you want to stand at the top of any industry, you cannot avoid your opponent!"

"Then why don't you wait to compete with Jurassic Park next month?"

The person who said this was definitely not Shania Donn. He only heard the monotonous nasal sound. Duke also knew that this was Sofia Coppola sitting on the sofa.

"Because there is no problem here." Duke pointed to his head first, then turned around and glared at Sophia, "Are you happy to hit me?"

“Very fun.”

Sophia shrugged, her black eyes inadvertently floated past Shania Donne, and raised her voice slightly reminded, "It's almost time, we should hurry back to Burbank. Don't forget, you will go to NBC's studio with Nikola and the others to rehearse tomorrow's live show tomorrow."

"It's going to be done soon." Duke waved his hand to the other side.

"I'm leaving, too."

Shania Don came behind him, tiptoed and stretched out her head, kissed Duke's ear gently, and then deliberately blew into the ear hole, whispering, "I will remember you, my dear, if I can meet you again next time, I will return all the slaps you hit on my butt to you!"

Duke turned his head and pinched her chin, "Hope we have another chance."

This kind of thing is hard to say. Although the film and music circles have a lot of intersections, Shania Donn settled in Nashville, a country music holy land. If she became famous, the subsequent announcements and tours across the United States and even the world would drain all her time and energy.

Speaking of which, the original ** has become the current two-night stand, and Duke doesn't know if he will have such opportunities to communicate with his body in the future.

Shania Donn went to find his agent and was about to return to Nashville. Duke and Sophia left the Femont Hotel and drove directly to the highway leading to Burbank.

“Didn’t you say that the first week of the film was always so nervous that it was hard to fall asleep?”

After leaving the city, the road conditions were much smoother, and Sophia also chatted with Duke, "I didn't expect that I still have the energy to pick up girls."

"Sophia, didn't you say it?" Duke could hear the little sarcasm in his words, but he had long been used to her tone. "This is the best way to relieve stress and anxiety and forget troubles, right?"

"Skewer!" Sofia Coppola curled her lips.

Shrugged, Duke didn't say anything more. Although things were not exactly what he said, he was immersed in Shania Don't's wild and sexy body last night, plus several refreshing pre-bedroom communication exercises. In fact, his sleep quality was excellent, and it was definitely one of the most fragrant nights he slept since "Brave the Deadly Island" started.

Or maybe it was when I slap Shania's sexy and charming buttocks, all the stress and anxiety were vented?

For some reason, this thought suddenly jumped into Duke's mind. He quickly shook his head and did not continue thinking about it. He didn't want to develop in the direction of sadism...

The two of them drove in turn. When they arrived in Burbank, it was almost dusk and they found a place to eat something. Duke and the others rushed to NBC TV's studio in Burbank.

Tomorrow night's program is live broadcast. Although rehearsal is not complicated, it is essential to at least walk around the field. NBC's interview program is also an important part of the promotional plan formulated by Warner Bros. When Duke walked to the lounge, Nicholas Cage, Ed Harris, Christopher Lee and their agents were already sitting here, familiarizing themselves with the process of the program.

Of course, Duke's agent Nancy Josephson was also waiting in the lounge.

Just like all interview programs, most of the links and issues will be communicated with the guest's agent or public relations in advance. As early as before the release of "Brave the Deadly Island", except for a few routine retention issues, the agents of several people coordinated the program with Warner Bros.'s public relations.

He was busy until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and the work of walking on the field came to an end. Duke told Nancy to give him the first day's box office feedback to him tomorrow, and then went back to his apartment in North Hollywood.
