Chapter 243 242. Cheer for Olsen

at the Arclight Theatre in Los Angeles.

A long red carpet extended from the theater entrance. This was the first premiere held by MGM this year, for "A Quiet Place," which began filming last year and took more than half a year to complete.

The investment in the film was actually not that large. It was expected to be 15 million US dollars, but it finally cost 17 million US dollars. Although there was a slight overspending, it was still within an acceptable range. The money was mainly used for special effects to make the monsters more realistic.

The publicity costs were not high either, with MGM investing only $3.5 million, and the total cost of the film being only about $20 million.

It would be considered a big production for an average small independent company, but it would be just a scratch-off for some big companies.

For a movie of this scale, there is actually no need to hold a premiere. After all, even "Saw 2" did not have a premiere.

As the big boss, Eric usually wouldn't attend, but one of the main characters in the movie is Elizabeth Olsen, his sister-in-law, the girl who almost became his goddaughter.

Ashley and Mary begged him to be present to support his sister. He had been flying around the world for more than half a month. The two sluts were a little thirsty and were waiting for comfort.

In addition to these romantic matters, there were some important official matters that he needed to handle personally, so he flew back to Los Angeles.

Neil is temporarily in charge of the "Inception" crew. He has led the team to Chile. Everything is going according to the script and there will be no major problems.

"Elizabeth, come closer with Ashley and Mary. We need a picture."

On the red carpet, the atmosphere suddenly became lively with the arrival of the Olsen sisters.

The influence of their Golden Globe and Oscar nominations is still there, and the two are now hot A-list stars in Hollywood.

Afterwards, more and more young actors came to show their support, all of whom were brought in by the Olsen sisters through their own connections.

Paris Hilton, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Biel, Monica Keena, Rachel Roberts, and Jeffrey Pierce. The three sisters all attended in their best attire. Although Elizabeth is only 15 years old, her growth rate is similar to Taylor Swift's, and she is already taller than her two older sisters.

The flash lights kept flashing and everyone came up to take photos.

"Mary, don't you have a problem with Jessica Biel? Why is she here?" Olsen asked quietly.

Mary said hello to her friends while helping her sister straighten her collar: "Elizabeth, this is Hollywood. As long as you become famous, they will kneel down and lick you."

"I don't have a deep hatred with her, we are just competing for roles. I attended a party a while ago and she took the initiative to chat with me, and that's it."

"Ryan, my sister Elizabeth."

In front, Ashley brought Ryan Gosling to meet Olsen.

When she and Eric were chatting, they talked about the younger generation in Hollywood.

Eric mentioned a few names that he thought had the potential to become popular, and Ashley kept them in mind.

Whenever I get the chance, I will make friends with these people.

Parties are held every day in Hollywood. After a few encounters, strangers become familiar with each other and relationships are established.

For the new generation that has not yet risen, the Olsen sisters have become the ones they need to look up to.

Not only did her company become more and more prosperous, she also won the Golden Globe for Best Actress and completely transformed herself successfully. I am lucky to have made friends with her.

Ryan Gosling smiled and said, "Hello Elizabeth, I heard this movie is your debut."

Ao Mei shyly shook her head: "Not really, actually I have made a cameo appearance in a TV series, although the part was very small."

"No, no, no, that doesn't count. Don't consider TV dramas as your starting point. Instead, this is where the big screen should be the goal that we actors should pursue."

"Just like your sister!" Rachel McAdams suddenly popped in and said something nearby.

Looking at this beautiful young woman who suddenly appeared, Ao Mei couldn't help but tremble in her heart: "What a beautiful girl."

Ryan Gosling pointed at the other person and said, "Do you need me to introduce you?"

"Hehe. But it looks like you two just met."

"At least one minute earlier than you."

"Elizabeth, this is Rachel McAdams, a girl from Canada. She is not only beautiful but also a great actress. She is also a great actress."

"Ryan, you seem to know Rachel very well. Are you good friends?" Ashley looked at the two of them curiously.

Rachel McAdams grinned and said, "Because I just finished working on a movie with this guy, a youth movie about love."

"Is it released yet?" Olsen asked hurriedly.

"No, I heard it's scheduled for June, but that's the company's business, New Line invested in it."

Rachel said, grabbing Olsen's hand in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, little girl. Our movie is called The Notebook. From the name, it seems that there is no possibility of conflict with A Quiet Place. The target audiences are different groups of people."

"Besides, I'm worried about bumping into an MGM movie. Everyone knows that MGM movies rarely lose money."

"And you will definitely be popular. Besides rarely losing money, MGM is also known to be very good at promoting new talents."

Wow. Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and everyone's attention was drawn over there.

"It looks like an important person is coming."

Before Rachel McAdams finished her words, Eric, dressed in a casual suit, got out of the Lincoln sedan and quickly stepped onto the red carpet.

When they saw him appear, many people secretly sighed that the trip was not in vain.

The media hope to get some useful information out of him, and the actors hope to show their faces in front of this big boss.

"Eric, aren't you filming abroad? Why did you come to the premiere?" a reporter asked.

"This is a movie I invested in. Is there any problem with me participating?"

"No, I mean how is the filming of Inception going? Can you give us some information? Everyone is looking forward to it."

Eric waved his hand and said, "Today's main character is A Quiet Place. I don't want to answer any questions that are not related to it. Please focus on the movie, okay?"

He ignored the paparazzi's questions and quickly caught up with his girls, giving Ashley and Mary a polite kiss on the face. The real sex battle could wait until after the premiere.

"Sorry, Elizabeth, the plane encountered turbulence, but at least we weren't too late."

"What! Air flow! It sounds dangerous!" Ao Mei covered her mouth.

"Nothing, I've encountered this many times before. As long as it's not a typhoon, I can always get through it safely. I changed my clothes and rushed over."

"I should have known I shouldn't have invited you to attend. If something unexpected happens, I will become the sinner of the Olsen family."

Ashley and Mary's hearts skipped a beat when they heard their sister's words. They felt something was wrong.

"Hello, boss, do you remember me?" Rachel McAdams smiled and extended her hand to greet him.

Eric shook her hand. "Of course Rachel, how is filming Mean Girls going? I haven't been listening to reports lately."

A big boss like Eric actually remembered her name. Rachel nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Everything went well. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Wait, are you talking about Mean Girls? Is that the script you showed me and Mary?" Ashley suddenly remembered something.

Eric hummed, "You were the first choice, but you two didn't want to act, so Rachel's audition was successful."

"What! Is that so! Ashley, Mary, I think I should treat you to a big meal." Rachel widened her eyes in surprise.

"That's better. Didn't you just say that MGM is best at promoting newcomers? Rachel, you're going to be famous this time."

Hahahaha After chatting for a while, Eric put his arm around Olsen's shoulders and posed for the paparazzi to take pictures. The two of them stood together, looking a bit like a couple.

"Eric, as Elizabeth Olsen's debut film, do you have any words for her?" asked a reporter from the Los Angeles Post.

Olsen looked up at Eric slightly, her eyes revealing anticipation.

Eric also looked at her and said loudly: "Elizabeth Olsen, she will be a rising star in Hollywood!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The paparazzi immediately wrote down this sentence. Great, they have a topic for tomorrow.

Ao Mei just felt sweet in her heart: "Thank you Eric."

"With our relationship, do we really need to say thank you? Just enjoy tonight."

"Um."

Looking at Eric's departing back, Ryan Gosling said jealously: "You seem to be too enthusiastic."

"What? Are you jealous?" Rachel McAdams glanced at the other person.

The man laughed strangely a few times and said nothing.

They fell in love during the filming of "The Notebook". Although there are countless handsome men in the entertainment industry, few of them can arouse Ryan Gosling's high vigilance. He is still confident in his charm and family background.

However, Eric Cooper is obviously an exception. The other party's level is too high. Even if he just stands there, there is no telling how many female stars want to pounce on him. If he takes the initiative, it will be even more devastating.

"Come on, I don't have any feelings for Eric Cooper, and he wouldn't be interested in me." Rachel McAdams waved her hand.

"How do you know? You're so beautiful."

"I guess it's because I don't have a twin who looks alike."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, be careful the paparazzi may hear you!" Ryan Gosling hurriedly stopped his girlfriend.

Although some people privately speculate that the Olsen sisters are two women serving one man, speculation is speculation only, and when spreading dirty rumors, you have to be careful about the person you are with, so be careful not to be banned!

Everyone walked into the theater, and Eric chatted with important members of the crew.

The actor who plays the role of the father is John Corbett, a versatile artist who has performed on the big screen, small screen and the music industry, and has achieved good results in all three areas.

His most well-known role in movies was in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" from two years ago, which is an example of a small-scale success with a big win.

The film cost $5 million and earned nearly $370 million in box office worldwide, ranking among the top ten box office films of the year. John Corbett was the leading actor.

The role of the mother is played by Mexican actress Laura Harring, who is best known for the famous suspense masterpiece "Mulholland Drive".

Although she is already 39 years old, Laura Harring's beauty has not diminished, but has become more charming.

It's just that her luck was not very good and she never became famous. Instead, she was best known for her marriage to the descendant of Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of the First German Empire. Therefore, she was called Countess for several years.

I have no impression of the little boy Eric who played the younger brother. I guess he is a newcomer.

As the lights in the theater dimmed, the MGM logo appeared, the big golden lion roared a few times, and the movie officially began.

Eric made appropriate changes to the plot to make it seem more plausible.

First of all, the male lead was changed to a scientist assistant with some basic skills, and some unpleasant plots were given to the son to ensure that the sister played by Olsen would be popular with the audience.

The background is explained clearly in the first few minutes. Alien monsters invade the earth, and countries are either destroyed or retreat to study ways to deal with the monsters.

The monster has no eyes but has very sharp hearing and relies on hearing to catch prey, so the survivors cannot make any sound on a daily basis.

After the family went to the store and searched for supplies, the younger brother gave a toy plane to the third child in the family, but no one noticed that the third child secretly took the batteries.

As a result, the plane made a noise, attracting the monster, which killed the third brother with one blow.

Whoosh! Many people in the cinema screamed as they saw the huge ghost figure flash by and the child being suddenly blown away.

Generally speaking, characters like children are given special treatment in movies and their death scenes don’t appear directly, but that doesn’t mean they can’t die.

The claim that Hollywood prohibits the death of children and pets is complete and utter nonsense.

The reason why it appears so rarely is purely for rating purposes.

Even if death occurs, as long as there is no flying blood or broken limbs, and as long as the screen switches fast enough, the impact will not be significant.

"A Quiet Place" was rated PG13, not even up to the R rating standard.

The sister played by Olsen is deaf-mute and did not notice that her brother started the toy plane, and did not stop him in time, so she felt very guilty.

What follows is the family's daily battle of wits and courage with monsters, mending family rifts, and preparing for the upcoming new life.

Dad is responsible and brave, mom is extremely determined, and Olsen is a qualified assistant to dad. The responsibility for the messy plot that caused the conflict is put on the younger brother. Someone has to take the blame, right?

The depressing atmosphere and the close contact with the monsters made the audience in the cinema feel their hearts in their throats. Until the father sacrificed himself to save his family, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

As Ao Mei noticed the monster's weakness of being afraid of high-frequency vibrations, her mother finally killed a monster with one shot, and the feeling of fear and frustration was released in an instant.

In the end, facing the monster that attacks again, the family is no longer afraid. They want to avenge their family, and the movie ends abruptly.

The theater lights came back on, the main creators came on stage to express their gratitude, and many audience members stood up and applauded spontaneously.

Pah pah pah pah Seeing this scene, Eric knew that the movie was a success. High-concept horror movies gave the audience a sense of freshness and made them feel the long-lost creativity, which was the most attractive.

Now we have to wait and see whether A Quiet Place can surpass Saw at the box office.

After all, in the original time and space, it exceeded too much.
