Regarding overseas distribution channels, Ryan is not suitable to come forward in person, and right now he needs to return to Los Angeles in person.
The shooting time of “American Pie” was very short, less than two months, which was much faster than the shooting speed of “Rush Hour”.
As early as September, the crew had already finished filming, but it has not been released. Instead, it is promoting a single released by Britney Spears, Baby Encore.
In the first week of its release, the single sold more than 120,000 copies, breaking several records one after another.
For a while, Britney Spears and the single baby had another direct fire.
It is inevitable that some vicious comments and ridicule will follow.
The word-of-mouth of professional music critics can be said to be extremely poor. A movie title song released by a film company is simply a stupid label, and Britney Spears should not release a single prematurely.
However, the sales of the single “Baby Come Again” have continued to rise. In less than four weeks since its release, the sales volume of the single in North America has exceeded 500,000. In the fifth week, it sold 229,000 copies. No. 1 in sales for the next five weeks.
In addition to the United States, some countries in Europe are also very popular, and the sales volume updated every day is shocking.
It can be said that Britney Spears is popular, and it is very popular, and has won the support of countless young people.
Even without the promotion of Orion Pictures, the popularity of “American Pie” skyrocketed, faintly overshadowing Cameron and “Titanic”, and was called the most anticipated film of this year’s holiday season by the media.
On November 14, Orion Films held a large-scale premiere for “American Pie”.
What makes people laugh and cry is that the horizontal channels made by the fan groups on both sides of the red carpet all read Britney Spears.
As for the leading actors in the film, no one paid attention at all.
Many people even think that Britney Spears is the star of the film.
“A spectacular scene.”
Walking through the red carpet and entering the theater, Nancy Utley looked at the crazy fans outside, turned to Ryan, who was calm, and asked, “Did you expect that?”
Britney Spears is on fire, single baby has another hit, and Orion Pictures can make a fortune from Britney Spears while promoting “American Pie.”
“It can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.” Ryan looked not far away, Britney Spears was walking on the red carpet, and the fans and media on both sides could be described as crazy.
Scenes like this, in Hollywood, can only be seen when a few first-line movie stars appear on stage.
The previous life single Baby Encore sold more than 10 million copies in North America, becoming the best-selling single of all time in the United States, and its music video was named the third most influential video in pop music history.
Britney Spears at her peak is enough to represent an era of American pop music.
Ryan chatted with Nancy Utley and soon came to the interview area.
“When will “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” directed by Ryan be released?” one of the reporters asked.
“Probably around March or April next year.” Ryan replied truthfully.
The release time of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” is somewhat tangled. In November, “American Pie” was released, and in December, Cameron’s “Titanic” was released.
In desperation, the release time of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” can only be changed to next year, and the release time of “Rush Hour” will also be set in April next year. Orion Films has a tendency to dominate the spring file.
“I heard that you and Britney have known each other for a long time?” Another reporter asked.
“Correct me, Britney is Scarlett’s friend.” Ryan didn’t want any scandal with Britney Spears.
“It’s Scarlett Johansson?” The eyes of the reporter who asked the question lit up. This was big news.
“I think there should be only one Scarlett Johansson in Hollywood.” Ryan replied very humorously.
“”American Pie” is filled with a lot of unhealthy plots, why did Orion Films make such a film!” A reporter asked again.
“This question, you should ask the film company in the San Fernando Valley.” Ryan said unceremoniously.
Before the reporter continued to ask questions, Ryan turned and left directly. He didn’t want to get entangled in this issue.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ryan heard someone calling him.
“Ryan, this way!” Scarlett Johansson waved at Ryan.
Ryan looked in the direction of the sound and felt a headache. Besides Scarlett Johansson, he also saw Natalie Portman.
“Hi, Natalie, how’s the Star Wars crew doing?” Ryan walked over and greeted Natalie Portman instead of talking to Scarlett Johansson.
In June, “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace” has officially started filming, and George Lucas chose a British studio as the filming location.
“Not bad.” Natalie Portman glanced at Scarlett Johansson and said lightly.
In fact, she has to wear heavy makeup every day and wear a weird outfit for shooting, which is definitely not easy.
Moreover, some of the scenes in the film, and shooting in the desert, the temperature is very unfriendly, she seems to be in the oven every day, feeling uncomfortable.
“Ryan!”
Scarlett Johansson pouted, walked over with some dissatisfaction, and suggested, “How about we go backstage to find Britney?”
“Be quiet for me.” Ryan gave her a warning look, “Britney needs to perform on stage later, you just sit down for me.”
“Natalie, watch her for me, don’t let her make trouble.”
After speaking, Ryan chose to leave directly, regardless of the smell of gunpowder in the air.
“Damn it.” Scarlett Johansson whispered to Ryan’s back
Then, she glanced at Natalie Portman with disdain on her face, “Look at me?”
“I will truthfully tell Ryan what you said, and it is best to let Ryan send you back to New York.” Natalie Portman was expressionless, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She couldn’t wait to see Scarlett Johansson deflated and even go back to New York.
“Portman!” Scarlett Johansson yelled sharply, pointing at Natalie Portman.
The next moment, she suddenly thought of something, became triumphant, and said, “Don’t think I don’t know, you went drinking with someone again last night.”
“Damn it, you’re following me again!” Natalie Portman’s face suddenly became very ugly, and she glared fiercely at Scarlett Johansson.
Obviously, this is not the first time for the two of them.
Scarlett Johansson looked at her without showing any weakness, with a sense of tension.
“Sit down.” At this moment, Helen’s voice came from one side.
“Hmph!” Scarlett-Johnson snorted coldly, and sat down triumphantly.
“Wait and see!” Natalie Portman whispered, and quickly sat down, as if she was afraid that Helen would know what happened last night.
Looking at the two of them, Helen rubbed her temples, feeling a terrible headache.
Both of them are considered public figures. Scarlett Johansson is the most popular child star in Hollywood at the moment. Natalie Portman joins the Star Wars crew, which is also very popular. In case the quarrel is caught by the media one day It looks like it will definitely arouse a lot of public opinion.
Ryan returned to his seat, and it didn’t take long before Britney Spears came on stage and sang Baby One More Time, which aroused enthusiastic responses from the audience.
In contrast, when the main creators of the crew came on stage, they seemed much deserted.
“It seems that Orion Pictures needs to acquire a small record company.” Ryan looked at Britney Spears on the stage and said thoughtfully.
Jon Felthammer nodded~www.mtlnovel.com~ Britney Spears’ achievements are not limited to just the single in front of her, she can completely buy a small record company. “
Britney Spears’ packaging, publicity, distribution, etc. are all professional companies hired by Orion Films, not the channels of Orion Films, and they have spent a lot of money.
In the short term, there’s nothing wrong with doing this.
But from the perspective of long-term interests, and the development trend of Britney Spears, it is more suitable to acquire a record company.
The simple interaction ended, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the video began to play on the screen.
As the video played, the audience below exclaimed from time to time.
Especially the young male audience, looking at the screen in surprise, couldn’t believe their eyes.
This is really not an adult movie!
