Chapter 235 Quentin
"Director Quentin, I heard that this movie was your 30th birthday gift to Uma Thurman. What do you think of your relationship?"
I just drove from home to prepare to go to Miramax headquarters, but as soon as I left the door, I was surrounded by several paparazzi or media reporters waiting aside.
These people always like to chase hot topics. Whenever a new film is released, it will happen similarly. Quentin Tarantino seems a little strange.
"Are you close to her?" someone asked again.
"What do you think of those bloody scenes in the movie? Someone said that you always have some very perverted shots in your mind. Is it true?"
"Who? Who said it?" Quentin Tarantino, who is not very kind in nature, glared at the reporter who asked questions, and continued: "That's called the beauty of the movie, do you understand? It's not called blood. By the way, who stipulates that the content of the fight cannot be expressed directly? Also, Uma Thurman and I are good friends, and my relationship has always been good on weekdays, but I never said that I used this movie as her birthday gift."
"But those were revealed by the staff of your crew, and he also said that during the preparation period, because Uma Thurman was pregnant, the filming time was specially delayed. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Fxxk, which bitch raised the rumor?"
As soon as the swear words came out, the reporters next to them became even more excited. One of the reporters asked loudly: "Director Quentin, then it's really true that this is true. You really have a different relationship with Uma Thurman? From "Pulp Novel" to "Kill Bill", she has always been the heroine in your movie because you are more than just friends, right? I heard that you had a relationship with her..."
"If you don't have this, if you dare to write randomly, I will sue you." Quentin was a little angry.
It’s not that privacy has been revealed, but that these tabloid paparazzi have the best ability to make up stories, and he is afraid that something will happen again.
"But the problem is that someone has seen you two stay in the same hotel intimately. Also, the time when she was pregnant was just when your new work was just being prepared. Is it a coincidence?"
The reporter seized the opportunity to chase and fight, and threw all kinds of speculations without specific sources at Quentin, just as if he was not worthy of money. It was almost said that he had an improper relationship with Uma Thurman.
Quentin was extremely angry and did not tolerate it. He pushed open the car door and "reasoned" with the reporters on the street.
While cursing, his agent arrived and pulled him into the car. These words should not appear in the mouth of a public figure.
When he returned to the car, Quentin also reacted from his anger, knowing that doing so would only fall into other people's thoughts, but fortunately shut up and pretended that he didn't hear it.
The agent honked the horn and started the car, and finally escaped from the siege of a group of people.
"Qentin, those people are not afraid of big things, or they just want to make big things on purpose." The agent held the steering wheel and reminded: "You should not respond to this kind of problem of gaining news traffic without any limit."
After staying in Hollywood for so many years, Quentin Tarantino, who calmed down, still understood these truths. He knew that the reporters were not kind and obviously wanted to bring him into the ditch. This language trap was really good at saying if he accidentally said it.
Quentin thought about this, but he couldn't help but curse: Damn, a bunch of damn bastards.
His eyes looked through the car window glass and looked towards the home behind him.
As I saw it getting farther and farther away, I couldn't even see the shadow, so I slowly calmed down my mood.
After a long time, he remembered something and asked, "Ian, have the box office feedback received on "Kill Bill"? What are the responses?"
"It's not bad. The box office revenue on the first day was 3.12620 million US dollars. After the film ended, many viewers also recognized the quality of the movie very much." Agent Ian said, through the rearview mirror, it was obvious that Quentin's face was filled with joy.
"It's OK, but this doesn't mean anything. We need to continue to observe."
As an insider, Quentin Tarantino is very clear that a large number of his movies are viewed by his own directing signature, so if most of the fans in the early stage were fans, both the box office data and the reputation of the movie were not so real.
If you really want to compare, you will have to wait a week later. What are the opinions of those passers-by?
However, despite saying that, he was actually quite satisfied with the achievement of such results.
"Is there any news?" he asked again.
"Millamax decided to invest $2 million again for publicity, and the critics also said hello. I believe that with the advance momentum of this movie, you can hype the reputation even more. However, in the next few days, you need to take the crew's main creators to participate in more publicity activities and cooperate with Miramax to build momentum."
"I know this. Is there any more?"
"And......" Ian said slightly objectively: "There is a new work "Saw" that is also being released, and the quality is also good. According to the information I have found out, their market performance is even higher than that of us. The box office is 3.767,500 US dollars."
Quentin didn't say anything, but there was a movie that was even better than his works, which was not unacceptable.
Is this the competition? There is a loss and there is a win.
The reason why he was silent was thinking about who was the monster. Director Wan Ziren's name had never heard of it, as if it suddenly appeared.
The car continued to drive, and Miramax, the destination of Quentin's trip, went to meet Harvey Weinstein and attended the evening cocktail party held by the company.
However, when passing by a cinema, I saw a line in the ticket hall from a distance.
Quentin could no longer hold back his curiosity and was ready to see what the movie called "Saw" was.
Anyway, it was still early, and after he told his agent Ian, the two of them planned to buy tickets together.
As soon as he entered the theater lobby, the team had not yet disbanded, Quentin was a little curious: "All these are the ones who watch "Saw"?"
"I don't know, but the next screening is indeed this movie."
The two of them lined up for a while and successfully bought tickets and went to the cinema to sit down. While the screening had not started, they looked around and looked around. They found that the attendance rate was quite high, and some discussions from the audience could be heard from time to time.
"Man, is this movie that good? I was going to watch "Kill Bill"."
"Don't worry, when did I cheat you? I watched the premiere last night. Now it's the second time. Believe me, don't scream in fear then."
"Huh, can I scream?"
