Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Lulana Korshunova

Today wasn't just Abel's first Hollywood movie premiere.

This was also the first time he watched a Hollywood movie premiere.

Because this is the first time the female lead on stage is her own wife.

Furthermore, there are also Michael Eisner and Robert Iger nearby, who can occasionally chat in low voices.

He watched with interest. The premiere ended quickly, then the movie started.

Annie also returned to his side and Robert Iger also returned to his seat with a smile.

"call"

Annie exhaled and whispered in his ear:

"I'm very stressed right now."

Gary Marshall, the director, has long felt the pressure.

Annie, the female lead, is just a little late at this point.

Before Annie went on stage, she didn't have many emotions. After going on stage, Annie looked at the top-notch lineup below, which looked like an Oscar party.

It also made Anne think of the anxiety that was plaguing Garry Marshall.

That's what it says.

In case "The Princess Diaries" succeeds at the box office.

Then how important it will be here today and how important it will be in the press and media tomorrow.

After two days, the movie box office will come out.

If the box office is not satisfactory, then all her limelight now and tomorrow will be turned into ridicule!

The presence of these big names today will also put her and "Princess Diaries" on the pillar of shame!

So much so that now Annie regrets letting Abel come with her.

She whispered her concerns to Abel in a low voice.

Abel actually doesn't know how much box office "Princess Diaries" has won in parallel time and space.

He only remembers this movie, which made Anne Hathaway known to many Americans in a very short period of time. Start your short path to glory.

After becoming popular, it became black, the black color was captured by Americans on the Internet.

The rest of Abel really didn't know.

He can only gently comfort:

"It's okay, believe in yourself. Successful people will be slandered. »

Everything has happened, everything has come to this point.

Anne's reason also told her that there was no point in worrying further at that moment.

Just look at tomorrow's first day box office results and the next box office results.

If the box office is that bad he will actually be nailed to a pillar of shame…

My old lady just left the circle!

Anne Hathaway thought intensely in her heart.

But then she thought of the "Spider-Man" crew. She took on the role of MJ Gwen, a combination of MJ and Gwen.

It would be a shame for this role if he left the circle.

If you growl in annoyance, wait until you're done playing Spider-Man before leaving the circle!

Anne Hathaway is lost in thought.

At that time, the movie "The Princess Diaries" was released.

To be honest, Abel hasn't seen this movie yet. Before reincarnating, he watched some clips from this movie and some stills of Anne in this movie.

Beauty is true.

After his resurrection, he rarely watched movies.

He watched them play in front of him.

The experience of being in a movie theater with a bunch of people and watching a movie together has a bit of an aftertaste. He started looking serious.

The overall tone of the movie "The Princess Diaries" is very relaxed.

Director Garry Marshall himself is a master of filming modern urban light comedies.

"Pretty Woman", the film that made Julia Roberts famous in the United States, and "Runaway Bride", the film that completely established her status as a foul-mouthed beauty, are two light urban comedies the most successful at the box office.

All by Garry Marshall. This "The Princess Diaries" is another collaboration between Garry Marshall and Disney.

It's just that new investor AB Smith Entertainment is already halfway there.

Next, Anne Hathaway has a higher status in the film crew thanks to Abel.

Everything else feels like parallel time and space.

Therefore, the quality of the movie created is similar to a movie with parallel time and space. The theme of "Princess" comes at least as far back as the story of Cinderella and the Ugly Duckling.

Gary Marshall and Disney changed the setting of this story to an old fairy tale.

The film's female protagonist is a 15-year-old city girl, and the film's target audience from the beginning was also aimed at audiences of this age.

It is the age of dreams. Most college students dream of marrying the modern version of the horse king, just like the idol singer. Maybe some of them have the courage to play princesses, but such dreams are limited to short periods when they indulge in amorous works of art.

"Princess Tale" turns an impossible dream into a double reality.

In the parlance of the film, this means winning the "super genetic lottery."

Unlike others, Abel paid attention to the film's content, mainly Annie's costumes.

He thought about going home later and asking Annie to take back her princess outfit, school outfit, etc. inside.

Abel has already played Elf Princess from The Lord of the Rings.

He thought it would be pretty good to play the princess of Genovia Kingdom in "Princess Diaries" again today.

The 115-minute movie runs out quickly.

When the list of behind-the-scenes production staff came out, the audience applauded as usual. "I'll wait for you outside." Abel stood up and spoke to Annie.

Abel learns that Annie will go on stage and that she and the other team members will be interviewed by the media.

And Abel himself no longer wants to stay here.

He was about to leave and went out first.

Of course Annie also knew that, she nodded and smiled. Abel stood up and Robert Iger stood up too.

Michael Eisner did not get up.

As chairman of Disney, he wanted to come and say a few words.

Abel is also Robert Iger's boss.

Robert Iger seems to get along very well with his boss. Eisner, chairman of Disney, also followed Abel.

Being photographed by the media, it is expected that the outside world will misunderstand Abel and start attacking Disney.

Abel and Robert Iger left the Huaxia Theater through another small door.

The two went to a quiet place and Abel said to Robert Iger:

"Robert, what do you think the box office take of this movie is?"

Robert Iger thought for a moment, MGM's CEO quietly replied:

"This is a highly accomplished modern urban fairy tale comedy. Before tonight, I thought it had a box office take of at least $100 million or more."

"But after tonight, I think its box office will be able to surpass at least 200 million US dollars. But the word of mouth may be slightly lower."

Abel naturally understood the meaning of Robert Iger's words.

Robert This refers to the film because of Abel's appearance.

Michael Eisner did it, and made such a big battle.

The support of so many big-name superstars, and the appearance of Abel, the king of traffic.

It will definitely make many potential viewers who are not this movie go to the cinema to watch it out of curiosity. But most people here don't like the things fifteen and sixteen year old girls like to watch.

They may help the box office, but they will certainly reduce word of mouth.

"Not important." Abel said:

"Mainly us. Are Spider-Man's preparations good?"

"Correct." Robert Iger answered gently.

Abel nodded and asked again:

"And after Spider-Man? Even though it hasn't been filmed yet, we should take a look at it later. Because I wanted to create a universe for MGM."

"Universe?" Robert Iger was stunned.

"An IP cinematic universe." Abel said:

"Based on Marvel, it involves a universe in which several superheroes appear together, including Spider-Man."

"Robert, have you read the Marvel's Avengers comic book series?"

"Correct." » Robert Iger said.

"It kind of changes the storyline from the comics and transfers it to the screen." Abel said.

"Of course. We have to take it step by step. We can't move all the Avengers at once."

Robert Iger gradually understood what his boss meant.

"OWNER." Robert Iger said:

"In your opinion, first move Parker and the other superheroes one by one. When the circumstances are favorable, let them get along and film the Avengers comic book movie?

"Yes. It's a complete Marvel superhero universe."

"Understand." Robert Iger wrote it. Later at MGM, he would express his boss's demands.

Abel looked at the time and saw that it was still early. By the way, he also had a few words with Robert Iger.

"According to this plan, shoot Spider-Man first, what about Spider-Man?" Abel said.

Actually, according to the meaning of Marvel and MGM executives.

If Spider-Man succeeds.

The next thing MGM will shoot is, of course, the second part of Spider-Man.

At the same time, if other Marvel heroes will be filmed.

There is a high probability that you will choose Thor and other popular comic heroes. But the last time the boss came to the company, he was optimistic about Tony Stark.

As an individual company, MGM executives were no fools.

They naturally focused on Spider-Man and Iron Man secondarily, superheroes who had not previously ranked highly.

Completely copying Tony's character design from the comics is impossible.

If it's copied, it's probably an R-rated movie. To make Tony appear captivating on screen, the character design and plot needed to be changed.

After thinking, Robert Iger gently reported to his boss the opinion of the Marvel editorial board:

"Behind Spider-Man, we will become Iron Man Tony Stark."

"But in terms of Tony's character design, there might be some changes."

The prototype of the Iron Man character was designed by Don Heck, one of Marvel's editors, to draw the faces of Tony Stark and secretary Pepper Potts.

Stan Lee, the father of Marvel, designed Stark's personality based on Howard Hughes, a famous genius and rich man in American history.

Howard Hughes is one of the most colorful figures of the past American era.

He is an inventor, an adventurer, a billionaire, a playboy and the prototype of Iron Man. Abel also knew this, he only made a suggestion:

"Before the movie shoots, before the release of Spider-Man, Marvel may be allowed to pre-launch the new "Iron Man" comic book. In the comic book, the new character Iron Man is directly used."

This is also the way Marvel Pictures works in parallel time and space.

Parallel to time and space.

Many Marvel fans may find that the first comic book image of Iron Man doesn't particularly resemble that of Robert Downey Jr.

Later, after Iron Man was released, Marvel's new Iron Man comics were entirely by Robert Downey Jr.

Other superhero comics are similar, and these are all comics serving movies.

After all, only comics make a little money, comics that don't make a lot of money naturally have to be used for more profitable movies. Faced with his boss's "suggestion", Robert Iger naturally agreed over and over again.

Don't say what your boss said makes perfect sense, it seems like a good suggestion.

Even if the boss's proposal is unreasonable, in the case of the boss's private enterprise.

As long as it's not too much, Robert Iger and MGM management will listen to Abel.

Waving his hand, Abel told Robert Iger to leave first. Because Edward has arrived.

If there was nothing else to do, Edward would often stay by her side, waiting for her orders.

Being able to take the initiative means there is a situation.

"BOSS. Someone from my hometown sent a message."

"Open?" Abel looked at Edward. "After Miss Lauren dined at Smith Farm, she left Smith Farm and Tarrant County."

"Where did she go?"

Edward said, "She went to Arlington, to see old man Smith."

Abel was silent for a moment then nodded.

Alex and his wife will rotate between three locations a year.

I lived in Houston the longest, followed by Austin, then Arlington for a month or two.

Then Abel commanded: "Continue to observe.

Edward nodded in agreement, then the bodyguard captain gave him a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Abel took over. Edward said gently:

"These are Ms. Theron's test results. After many anonymous attempts, we found several agencies. The test results are the same."

Abel immediately got in the car and used the car's reading light to look at the paper in his hand.

This is the test report for DNA identification.

This shows that the child in Charlize Theron's womb who is 8 weeks pregnant and could pass a blood test is actually Abel's. Moreover, under the control of high-tech means.

The child in Charlize Theron's womb also passed a blood test and was determined to be 99.999% a girl.

"call"

Abel breathed a sigh of relief, rolled down the car window, and handed the inspection report to Edward outside.

"Tear it up, I already know the result."

Edward took it, Abel sat quietly in the car, alone for more than ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the car was slightly hit. Then Annie sat down with a smile on her radiant face.

She smiled and said, "It looks amazing!" Everyone said it would do well at the box office.

"Ha~" Abel reached out and hugged her, whispering something in her ear.

Annie's face immediately became hot, she gently pinched Abel without using force.

"That's all you remember!" Annie muttered.

"Let's go." Abel smiled and said: "Go home first."

A little later. Beverly Hills, in the mansion at 812 North Bedford Street.

In the master bedroom, the heir to the "Kingdom of Genovia", that is, Princess Mia's beautiful lamenting voice, rang out.

tomorrow.

When Princess "Mia" of the kingdom "Genovia" woke up, it was already noon.

Annie quickly stood up. She remembered she had to go to the Bay Area in the afternoon.

Work with the team on "Princess Diary" promotional activities!

She didn't care that Abe was no longer at 812 North Bedford Street; after all, she was used to it.

Annie was in a hurry to leave the room and immediately asked her assistant and personal bodyguard Jin Na to prepare lunch for her.

Lunch was soon brought and Anne hastily ate it greedily.

While eating, she felt that today's food had a very special taste. She didn't know some things, like tofu, but it tasted like milk.

There's also ravioli wrapped in slow-cooked beef and lamb.

Abel was not there and there were no strangers.

Anne also didn't pay much attention to the image.

While eating, she said to Jin Na, whom she trusted very much:

"Dear Jinna, which country does today's food come from? It was delicious, full of flavor and so delicious.

Jin Na really noticed Annie.

Seeing this girl, she expressed her feelings for him and Jin Na felt relieved.

The strong, big-necked swallow smiled and said, "This is a special delicacy of the Kaksa Republic."

"Haksha? » Annie said while eating:

"I remember this is your hometown, right? Don't tell me you're cooking this delicious dish for me? Do you still have this ability?"

"ARE NOT." Jin Na smiled and said:

"It was made by my sister Sanluna. Miss Hathaway, have you forgotten? Yesterday he and his wife agreed to let my sister come here to work as a chef. My sister came here in the morning.

"Oh oh oh ~" Annie thought, almost full.

Looking at the time, Anne felt there was still enough time.

She thought of Abel's usual practice of recruiting bodyguards around him. Anne now wanted to imitate him, she smiled and said:

"Jinna, why don't you tell your sister to come meet me. From now on, I will have to rely on her for food. I think we need to meet. By the way, I remember that you said that Yours is mine. I have a daughter, let's meet.

Annie said while thinking about giving gifts to Jin Na's loved ones in the future.

This is what she learned from Abel. Jinna also thought it was necessary.

If cousin can get Annie's favor.

Her sister would then actually be able to live a good life in the United States.

Jin Na immediately nodded and went to invite her sister over.

In addition, she also invited her sister's daughter in the hope of winning Anne's favor. Very quickly, ten minutes later.

Annie first meets Sanruna Korshunova, Jinna's younger sister.

She is a middle-aged and older woman, seemingly sweet and ordinary, who has been devastated by life.

Soon after, Anne met Sanruna Korshunova's daughter again.

A very young girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, named Lulana Korshunova. Annie looked at San Luna, she felt that mother and daughter looked a bit alike.

That is, San Luna may have endured many tortures in her life, her face has faded and aged completely.

Annie looked at Lulana Korshunova and Jinna again.

Anne felt that these two people were completely two kinds of creatures.

A person with a thick back who can hit seven times in one blow is not easy to handle. The other person was a tall, thin girl with beautiful blonde hair and was also very pretty.

She just looked a little undernourished, too white and too thin.

Are these two things really related?

If the hair color and eye color were not identical, Anne would have been suspicious.

Having finished thinking, Annie stretched out her hand and smiled at Lulana Korshunova, who seemed a bit embarrassed. "Hello Lulana, right? From now on I will call you Lulana. You are very beautiful. You can call me Annie."

"Hey~"

While holding Lulana's hand, Annie placed a platinum bracelet on Lulana's hand.

"Beautiful girl, this is a gift for you."

"It comes from the Far East and has two square characters on it. The pronunciation is "pinan", which translates into English as "safe" and "not dangerous".

"I will leave it to you. I hope your whole life will be like these two Eastern characters."

"I will be safe and out of danger all my life, I will live happily!"

There will be another chapter later so don't wait too late
