Chapter 77:
After the promotion plan for [Sherlock Holmes] was decided, it was implemented straightaway.
Even without it, many people were talking about it in online forums and almost every reader of Sherlock Holmes novels was curious to see the movie.
But after the promotions started, the discussions increased and the curiosity towards the movie reached the top.
It was not like everyone was looking forward to it. Some critics thought the movie was bound to fail because of the inexperience of the director and lead actor. Though, even those people wanted to see the movie.
If the movie was going to fail, they wanted to know how badly it would fail.
And that was enough for Will.
He knew that after people watched the movie, it would spread by word of mouth. And recently, another one of his movies was spreading by word of mouth.
It was [17 again]. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
In two weeks, it had earned around 70 million and had already recovered the initial cost. By estimate, it will earn around 140-150 million and that was more than enough for MCA who invested in it.
Benjamin had even called him and said that the movie had worked wonders for the agency and they were now thinking of promoting Drake as the lead figure of the agency.
Even June was in the limelight in MCA.
In just a year, she had been part of two movies which had crossed 100 million in the box office. It was not a small feat and now, higher ups in MCA were finally thinking of her.
Benjamin had told him that they would try to get her in some more movies in supporting roles while thinking of a good movie for her to be the lead of.
This was the best news for Will.
Although he had plans to get her into his agency at first, he could only give up on it for now. She wanted to stand on her own so MCA would be the best place for her.
At least unlike a certain agency, he had a good relationship with it.
[17 again] also had an effect on him and after seeing his role in the movie, he had even got offers to act as the lead in some movies.
Will was very well aware that it wasn’t because of his acting. After all, his role wasn’t the most complex one or something. It was that of a bully. Nothing more, nothing less.
Those studios and directors just wanted to use his popularity for the benefit of their movies. After all, he was the man who was taking the biggest gamble in Hollywood.
That line had become a tag with his movie and to promote it, Foxstar had even released another poster with the same tagline under the title.
They were promoting the movie as such, completely confident of the quality.
Like this, many days went by. After finishing the editing with Emilia, the trailer of [Sherlock Holmes] was uploaded and it got 12 million views in just a week.
The people who were sceptical about Robert were hugely impressed and the movie’s tone and Holmes’ quirky nature were discussed a lot.
And as soon as he saw Will on the premier greeting everyone, he went up to him and directly said.
“Don’t expect a good review from me. I have already thought of one and my words won’t be light.”
The newbie director, only two movies old in Hollywood, just smiled and asked in return.
“What if the movie is good?”
“That won’t happen. I don’t expect it to be at least.”
“You should keep an open eye. Maybe you might even like the movie.”
After that, they didn’t talk during the event. Will was aware of Lucas Hunt as he was one of the most infamous critics. He had even seen his review of his first movie and even agreed with it a little.
But [Sherlock Holmes] was different. And the next day, in his review of it, Lucas definitely kept an open eye.
[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: A movie which could be the start of a franchise and maybe, one of the best ones this year.
-Lucas Hunt]
That review was enough for many of his regular followers to wonder if he was paid. But knowing his past, they all assumed that it was really the movie which was good.
Like him, there were more critics too.
[⭐⭐⭐: Watch it, by all means, for a dazzling visual feast, but be warned, this Sherlock is more show than tell.]
[⭐⭐⭐⭐: I was pleasantly surprised. It’s what the world wants and deserves. Robert did a great job, although it didn’t have the exact novel-image Sherlock.]
[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Sherlock Holmes sets the bar for the detective subgenre in a bold, refreshingly auteur-driven manner.]
[⭐⭐⭐⭐: Will Evan’s self-possessed direction digs into the character with gravitas and precision, making for a reinvigorating return to basics]
[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: The century’s biggest gamble – Will Evan’s may have truly defied the odds with this one and cemented his name in the Hollywood]
[⭐⭐⭐: A newbie director, a newbie male lead, and a thrilling two hours of mystery and intrigue.]
