After returning to California, Rowan has joined the crew of Face/off as the premier was near.
Rowan who started the craze for the movie needed to learn the question and answers that would be asked after the premier by the reporters.
Since this was his first movie that was getting released Rowan was excited. At the same time, those who are required to answer reporters' questions at the premiere ceremony must also undergo corresponding training, and even have answers provided on how to deal with various tricky questions.
Everything is for greater fame and to create a better image, but ultimately, it's all for profit.
Rowan had heard of all this before, but it was not until he actually started working in this industry that he understood a very obvious truth: any actor or star who appeared in public was carefully dressed up.
Rowan's personal conditions were excellent, but even just the matching of clothes took more than an hour.
Dense traffic was rushing on the streets. Thousands of people gathered outside the Hollywood Chinese Theater, and their shouts were intertwined.
One light flashed after another, which were the shutters of cameras. The night sky, which was as bright as the day, was illuminated by densely packed strong lights. The noisy sounds continued to echo as one star after another appeared on the stage.
Lisa looked at Tom Cruise passing by, listened to the sharp cheers around her, and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"He is indeed a superstar. The fans around him are almost going crazy."
"Not only Tom Cruise is here, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Julia Roberts, all these superstars are here, not to mention the others."
Monica's face lit up. The reason they were placed in such a front position was naturally because of Lisa's performance in recent days and her role as the editor-in-chief of Hbc News.
Lisa's eyes fell on a slowly approaching Cadillac. Rowan's tall figure got out of the car. His fierce aura and temperament, as well as the black sunglasses he wore in a unique way, immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly pressed the shutter button towards Rowan who was walking on the red carpet, and dense lights flashed continuously.
The reporters who were able to come here were all well-informed. They quickly recognized Rowan who came down. He was the protagonist of the martial arts short film that was being circulated and played in thousands of households in the past two days, and also the American who who cought two bank robbers few months back.
Although the Rowan has been famous for some time now, but his popularity has disappeared all the reporters understand very well that at least while this exaggerated martial arts craze has not yet dissipated, Rowan will definitely attract a lot of attention.
That's how Hollywood works: if you can attract attention, you can quickly accumulate fame. Even if this fame is hyped, it is much better than being unknown.
Rowan maintained a faint smile throughout. He was actually a little excited After all, his first movie was being released even if he wasn't main lead he was still the third lead so he wanted to know what would happen if his role gets more recognition will he get something else from the dream copy.
But he quickly forgot about it and focused what was important right now.
Just as Rowan was enjoying the spotlight, a loud cheer came from behind, followed by hysterical shouts that quickly emerged.
"Nicolas Cage and John Travolta are here."
"Wow, they're both still SO handsome."
"Hurry up and wave your, maybe we can get a photo together that would be even better."
The chaotic cheers immediately attracted all attention. Rowan smiled at that and quickly walked the red carpet and waited quietly at the other end, watching Nicolas Cage and John Travolta coming over.
"How was it? How does it feel to be the center of attention?"
Terence Chang's gentle voice came, Rowan couldn't help but turn around and smile slightly, then took off his sunglasses and said with some emotion.
"I'd rather work out in the training room for an hour than walk through it again."
Terence Chang couldn't help but laugh, patted the Rowan's shoulder heavily, and then said with some emotion:
"Thanks to your actions, we have saved at least 10 million US dollars in publicity costs, and it has also effectively boosted the box office. How do you think I should reward you?"
"Please I think with Cage and Travolta here all I did was an Icing on top of a cake" Rowan said with humility
With a strange smile on his face, Terence Chang still holding onto Rowan's shoulders said in an expectant tone:
"On the contrary, you did a really good job this time. Do you know how much the pre-sale of the movie Face/Off was? It increased from 500,000 US dollars at the beginning to 3.7 million US dollars now."
Rowan couldn't help but feel moved. He knew very well that the box office of the previous life's "Face/Off" exceeded 100 million US dollars in North America, and the total global box office exceeded 240 million US dollars.
But compared to the production cost of 80 million US dollars and publicity expenses of more than 50 million US dollars, it only barely breaks even.
It is even possible to generate profits through the sale of offline videotapes and DVDs, as well as the selling of broadcasting rights to major
TV stations.
Of course, the proportion of box office revenue in major movie companies has begun to decline year by year, but the topic that the box office can generate is continuous.
Hotter box office will also lead to higher profitability for videotapes, DVDs and various broadcasting rights.
This time it is a planned move, Rowan naturally hopes that "Face Off" can achieve greater success.
Because this change is led by myself, my role and appeal will definitely be improved exponentially, and then I will be more important than other ordinary actors in the archives of major film companies.
At least Jean-Claude Van Damme, who had gained quite good benefits, called back again. The two sides established a certain connection and became friends who could get along well.
Terence Chang pushed the Rowan in front of John Woo, and then whispered mysteriously:
"Old Woo made a bet with me. If our North American box office can exceed the break-even point of 180 million, then both of you will receive a bonus of 1 million US dollars. If not, you will only get 300,000."
"Rowan, good job, do you have time to participate in the national promotion?"
Rowan knew it was impossible for him to say no, so he said in an expectant tone, "I will definitely make time."
"Hahaha, good, good"
John Woo smiled and nodded, then turned around and looked at Nicolas Cage and John Travolta who were walking towards them, and greeted them with a smile.
Terence led Rowan to a reception room, where people were talking to each other. Rowan saw many familiar faces.
Needless to say, all the superstars were present. Rowan also saw Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron, who had always been having bad luck with the media dissing his Titanic.
After a series of social events, Rowan felt that his cheeks were becoming stiff. Maintaining the same smile was indeed a severe test for his facial muscles.
After taking a look around, Terence Chang told Rowan to keep quiet, and he began to carry out his mission: to get to know more Hollywood industry bigwigs!
Rowan decided to wait in the corner for the movie premiere to start. After waiting for sometime people started to walk into Premiere room and Rowan followed them inside.
As soon as he entered the premiere room, he saw Nicolas Cage waving at him. Rowan quickly walked up to him, chuckled and said jokingly:
"The box office of Con Air is a huge hit. The cumulative box office has exceeded 90 million US dollars. I bet that the global box office will exceed 200 million US dollars at least."
"Con Air", which was released on June 6, is also an action movie starring Nicolas Cage. It had a very hot box office in its first week and the subsequent trend was relatively stable.
Nicolas Cage's net worth has been greatly increased through this. Rowan estimates that if this Hollywood star is successful again in "Face/Off", he, who has already entered the 20 million US dollar pay club, may get a top net worth of 20 million US dollars + 10% of the box office revenue!
Maybe even higher!
