In the United States, Hollywood, Disney's boss Michael Ace stood there with confidence, and said very excitedly: "This is our most attentive Disney one, God, I thought that this movie would always use the name "Tennessee", but I didn't expect to change the name, this is really regrettable." ”

Michael Bay, as a director, naturally has the obligation to explain at this time, and he immediately said: "Sir, if this movie uses a name like Tennessee, then in terms of a thing, we will follow the pace of the Titanic, in this way, it is not good for our movie itself, we are a war movie, at most a war romance film, but the focus is still war."

However, Titanic is different, it is a romance movie, although it means to buy some oil disaster movies, but it is actually a romance movie. Therefore, in such a situation, we are not comparable.

Let's borrow their name to promote the leaflet, that's no problem, but if we say that in such a situation, we must always follow the footsteps of the Titanic to promote, then in such a thing, we are a complete failure.

Maybe we will have a high box office in the first week, but if we continue to use the name Tennessee, we will always give everyone the impression of the second part of the Titanic. If you see that the movie is not like that, the audience will quickly lose the second week.

So, in one such case. We always have to think about that. ”

Esna nodded when she heard this, and accepted the same explanation: "Well, actually. I also saw this, so I agreed to change the name, Pearl Harbor, which is a thing that I don't want to mention in the United States, so if I say that I want to use this name. Would that have had an impact on the whole movie? Have you ever thought about it? ”

If this matter is to say that Ye Ming is standing here, then in such a situation, he must tell Esna. This thing is simply certain, Pearl Harbor only has a box office income of 190 million in the United States, you know, the production cost of Pearl Harbor is 140 million.

The cost of making such a thing. That's the box office. It's simply chilling, even if Pearl Harbor's world box office is only 250 million at the box office. The Titanic costs 200 million, and the box office in the United States is 600 million, so it can recover the cost and make money in the United States alone.

What's more, the global box office of the Titanic is 1.8 billion US dollars, which is too rubbish compared to Pearl Harbor.

And one of the key points is that the subject matter is not good enough, actually. In 1970, the United States and Japan co-produced a film about Pearl Harbor. With an investment of 25 million, the US box office is only 14.5 million, and the global box office is not more than 30 million, which can be said to be a fiasco.

Therefore, it can be seen that there are a few Americans who like to watch Pearl Harbor, a movie in which Americans are beaten up, and it is conceivable.

But Director Michael Bay doesn't know this, he has spent a lot of effort to settle such a thing, so it is impossible to show cowardice in front of the boss.

Therefore, Michael Bay directly assured: "President, don't worry, we have conducted market research on this matter in advance, and found that the entire market is still very much looking forward to our movie." I think everyone will go into the cinema to watch that tragic air battle. This is also a big selling point for us, and I believe that the box office will definitely surprise us. ”

At this time, if it is said that directors have little confidence in their own films, then don't expect others to have confidence in this movie at this time.

Therefore, at this time, Michael Bay naturally said that he was very confident, even if he said that he had no bottom in his heart, but in such a situation, he had to persevere.

Therefore, in front of Esna, he showed unprecedented confidence.

Esna also nodded with great satisfaction and said: "In this case, it will be the best, I will promote this movie to Disney's 120,000 employees, and I hope everyone can support this movie, and when the time comes, we can see how the market is." ”

Michael Bay thought for a moment and said: "Actually, we don't have any worries about the American market in such a thing, and I believe that the first week will definitely bring us a huge surprise."

But if it is said that in foreign countries, especially in China, how much income our film will earn when this is the case, it is difficult to say.

On such a thing, no matter what you say, Huaxia is very repulsive to foreign movies, and Titanic is an exception. ”

President Esna said with a smile: "Since this matter is said that the Titanic is an exception, then I believe that our Pearl Harbor will also become an exception to this China, this is absolutely no problem, I will use some relationships to do this, after all, we Disney invested, therefore, at such a time, we will naturally vigorously help this movie." ”

Michael Bay naturally said that he would believe in this promise very much, anyway, the money was paid by Disney, so if the publicity is not good, then Disney has no money to make, and he gave up four million box office dividends, in fact, so that this movie can come out a day earlier. In fact, many actors in the movie lowered their salaries to star in this movie.

There is only one goal, and that is to say how to complete Pearl Harbor more quickly in such a situation.

Now, it's time to be able to share our joy. In this matter, it can be said that the crew is very attentive to this movie.

Michael Bay thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to take someone to promote Wuhuaxia, if it means that the stars of our crew can go over." I think it will be very helpful for our box office. ”

Esna thought for a while and said: "Don't be busy with this matter first, the propaganda must keep up, this time we smashed 80 million propaganda." Won't skimp on this matter. But to go to Huaxia, you must first do a good job in the promotion of the movie in the United States, and then if you have free time, then you can really go to Huaxia to give a good publicity. ”

This is actually a blind eye, of course. The domestic box office in the United States is very important, but in such a situation, no matter how it is done. The most important thing is that the box office in the United States is hugged. As for the box office in China, it is a dispensable place. Hollywood basically doesn't pay attention to the box office of Chinese movies.

And in such a situation, promoting the box office in the United States is a very reasonable proposal for Esna. At least in such a social environment. He won't pay attention to the box office in Huaxia. Seem. Esna also didn't want to mention such a thing too much.

Therefore, at such a time, Ace said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry about the best, there is no need for this at all, I have also done some research on the box office of Chinese movies, at least for now, it means that there is no heavyweight movie with Pearl Harbor."

Of course, they also chose a movie, saying that it was against Pearl Harbor. They simply say it's naïve. What can I do in such a situation? It's not like Pearl Harbor has been crushed.

By the way, the movie on the Huaxia side has also been decided, and Ye Ming's [Millionaire in the Slums] will be selected to directly fight Pearl Harbor, you say it's ridiculous. The production cost of this slumdog millionaire is not even a fraction of that of Pearl Harbor, so what is the comparison? ”

Disney is still very well-informed, knowing that in such a thing, Disney must say that it is going to do something. However, they found out that it was indeed Ye Ming's [Slumdog Millionaire].

At this time, Ace said very proudly: "This thing is simply an insult, if it is said that in such a situation, they use a blockbuster to confront us, it is also something we can believe, but Ye Ming's movie, with an urban theme, is nothing new." But he was sent out to play against us. There is no hope of victory at all. ”

Did Huaxia give up the box office during this time, Ace also thought of such a thing. Looking for an urban-themed movie to confront Hollywood blockbusters, this thing is definitely talking about eggs hitting stones. Therefore, Ace is not so pessimistic about the form of a box office in which China looks. And in such a situation, since it is mine, why can't I buy and sell?

Michael Bay was very low-key, but when he heard this, he was immediately relieved.

Therefore, at this moment, Michael Bay thought about it and said: If adults say that they have encountered something similar, then at this time, are you really happy? There is no challenge, an urban film, there is not much market, if it is a martial arts film, it may be a little rival with Pearl Harbor, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

At this time, Li Eucalyptus's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon gave Westerners a very good understanding of Chinese culture.

On such a thing, when Westerners think of good Chinese movies, they always think of Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, and of course, they also think of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe this movie is too influential.

Michael Bay thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there is nothing to change the date we set in Huaxia." We want to let the Chinese people know that our Hollywood blockbusters are powerful, and it would be better if it was a movie that could crush the Chinese. ”

Michael Bay is also quite ambitious, otherwise, he would not work so hard to do everything that the director should and should not do.

Therefore, the ambition of this guy is to conquer the fans all over the world with a new one. This is almost an impossible task. Therefore, in such a situation, he himself suddenly showed such a powerful and domineering expression, which is really exciting. In such a matter, in fact, some things will form a new understanding no matter how they are said.

A new understanding of Michael Bay's ambitions, if it takes root, has a considerable impact.

Esna is also very confident, and he even said that if the artificial ticket is lower than that of the Titanic, then such a roar will really change this point or Esna's confidence.

In fact, in such a situation, even the boss of Disney is relatively unhappy in the face of bursts of media singing.

But in the end, Esna, of course, said he had learned to compromise. This is very important, but as the president, as the boss, in the face of the media, in the face of the crew, Esna still has some disbelief that in such a situation, Pearl Harbor will fail, at least he will not admit it, he must insist, even if the director has no confidence in his film, but, in such a place, it is necessary to change some troubles.

Ye Ming was actually waiting for him in Huaxia at this time, not only did Disney make considerable arrangements for the release of his own movies, but Huaxia, Brilliant Film and Television, did not have his own movies, so Ye Ming was also very attentive.

Not only is it said that at such a time, the branches of Brilliant Network all over the world have vigorously supported this movie, therefore, in such a situation, what really occupies the main position is to talk about income, how to affect their own status.

Making money is the last word, and this, no matter what it is, is naturally very important. Ye Ming also deliberately held a few meetings, mainly to avoid repeated promotion of the film and repeated use of the company's resources in such a situation.

Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming is quite sure of the few people who trust his company, and this will be recommended to the company, which is a little bit of a leader's welfare. (To be continued......)
