Steven's new movie, Kidnapped, suddenly became a huge news item before it was released.
The pre-sales for Kidnapped had already reached 52 million US dollars, breaking the pre-sales record.
In just one day, this news swept the headlines of all the major entertainment companies.
The new movie, Kidnapped, was based on a real case.
The people involved in this case were the director of the movie, Steven, and one of the investors, Rasfa.
At that time, this incident had already swept across America, and even the world.
After all, Steven's fame and influence were too great.
Furthermore, Kidnapping had always used that real case as a selling point for publicity.
They claimed that Kidnapped would reveal more inside information that the police didn't expose at that time.
As one of the people involved, Steven naturally had the absolute right to speak.
Using the news of breaking the pre-sales record, the producer and distributor of Kidnapped once again hyped up that case.
On the day of the premiere, the pre-sales had already reached 80 million US dollars.
This made all the other movies released at the same time feel like crying wolf.
That was because Steven's new movie would be released, which meant that their box office would be stolen.
Even movies aimed at different audiences were greatly affected.
For example, the horror movie Death Foreseen that was released last week. It was completely different from Steven's new movie, and the audience was also completely different.
However, Death Foreseen, which had a box office of 4.5 million US dollars the day before, had already dropped by 70% to 1.35 million US dollars the day before.
The drop was shocking. It was like jumping off a building.
Originally, among the six major companies, there were two mid-to-low budget movies that were used to attack "Kidnapped".
But within a day, there was no news of these two movies.
It was said that the distributors of the two movies planned to change their release dates at the last minute to avoid Kidnapped.
Because they were also scared by Kidnapped's momentum.
Before the premiere tonight, Kidnapped's pre-sales might very well exceed 100 million US dollars.
…
Although Portia was in the crew now, she couldn't help but be bombarded with information about Kidnapped.
Because in the production crew, they were all discussing "Kidnapped".
Be it the actors or the crew, they were all discussing it.
Portia couldn't help but fantasize about when she could also participate in Steven's movie.
Of course, Portia also knew that it was almost impossible.
Even if she was one of the main characters in James' movie.
But there was still a huge gap between James and Steven.
Steven used a shocking pre-sales result to defend his dignity as the world's top director.
Portia scrolled through the entertainment news on her phone.
Almost all of them were news about "Kidnapping" or the actual incident at that time.
"Portia, it's your turn. Put your phone away." Just then, a crew member came over to inform her.
"How unprofessional. I really don't understand what Mr. James is thinking," Aulisa said jealously.
Of course, only Portia could hear her voice.
She had not left the set today because she still had scenes to shoot.
Although Aulisa had fewer scenes than Portia, her filming time was a day longer than Portia's.
As long as Aulisa's scenes were more scattered, there were more people who acted with her.
The filming method of the film crew was to gather the parts of a scene to film together.
It was possible that the opening and ending scenes were actually filmed on the first day.
After shooting two scenes, Portia let out a sigh of relief.
As a newcomer, it was very difficult for him to take on an important role.
There were more than 20 NGs in her two scenes.
But because she was personally selected by James to join the cast,
So no one made things difficult for her.
Only Aulisa kept looking at Portia with jealousy.
Just then, Portia received a call.
Portia picked up the phone and saw that it was from Gaia.
"Hey, Portia, are you free tonight?"
"Tonight … I'm afraid I don't have time."
Because Portia had a night scene with the same scene that was also going to be filmed today.
So Portia could not leave the set at all.
"What's up?"
"The crew I was in wants me to attend the premiere. I want to find a female companion." Gaia remembered that Portia was interested in Hollywood, so she planned to take Portia to the red carpet.
"Female companion? You're a female yourself. "Portia was speechless.
"It'll be more troublesome if I find a male companion." With Gaia's temperament, it would be really embarrassing to walk the red carpet with a pretty boy.
There were many men in the gym who wanted to walk the red carpet with Gaia.
But Gaia was not interested in any of them.
"I don't have time. I have a very important job tonight and can't leave," Portia said.
"If you don't have time, then forget it." Gaia did not need Portia. Her assistant, Ola, could also be her female companion.
Portia hung up the phone after saying her blessings.
Then, she went back to filming.
Portia was busy until eight o 'clock at night.
When she got home, it was already nine o 'clock at night.
This was the first time Portia felt the fatigue of filming.
She was only a side character and was already under so much pressure.
If it were the real main characters, they would have to film ten times more than her.
How much pressure would they have to face?
Portia turned on the TV again and switched to the entertainment news.
The entertainment news was broadcasting the premiere of Kidnapped.
Portia became more and more envious. When could she be like those stars?
That night, many young people like Portia, who dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star, fell asleep with their hearts full of fantasies.
The next day, Portia woke up early in the morning and was once again flooded by the news of Kidnapped.
It was all about Kidnapped breaking the box office record again, reaching eighty-one million dollars.
Breaking the box office record was different from pre-sales. The eighty-one million dollars of pre-sales doubled the original record.
She could imagine how this movie would wreak havoc on the big screens all over the world in the next three to four weeks.
"I'll watch this movie sometime."
Portia muttered to herself, but then she suddenly thought of Gaia.
"Right, the movie that Gaia participated in was released yesterday too. I should go support Gaia's movie."
Portia then realized that she did not know what movie Gaia was participating in.
Could it be that Gaia was embarrassed to tell her? That's right. She participated in a movie that failed completely. It was indeed embarrassing to tell her. It was better not to trouble her.
