Chapter 773 is a desperate summer vacation
When John was discussing "The Lord of the Rings" with Devin Morgan in the restaurant, the major Hollywood studios were also discussing the film, and as the news of "The Lord of the Rings" breaking the box office record at midnight came out, "The Lord of the Rings" became a hot topic in North America today, especially the major Hollywood studios, "The Lord of the Rings" exploded, which will have some impact on their films.
"The Lord of the Rings" seems to be locked in the top spot of this year's box office charts! I didn't expect such a difficult film to be adapted by him, and the demon director is the demon director!" In the office of the president of Warner Pictures, the president of Warner Pictures held the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, looked at the box office figure of 14.23 million US dollars on it, and shook his head with a wry smile.
John's adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", everyone thought that John was too young and inflated, but it turned out that John was not inflated, that was strength.
"Yes! The demon guide is back with "The Lord of the Rings", and he will definitely wash the box office, but fortunately, we temporarily moved "The Perfect Storm" to June 15th, a month before "The Lord of the Rings", otherwise this time the loss would be big!"
The vice president in charge of distribution on the side secretly rejoiced in his heart that no one had ever won the list with John except Spielberg, and he would not be naïve to think that a German third-tier director could compete with the world's super A directors.
And "The Lord of the Rings" has long been a household name as the "Journey to the West" in the West, and "The Perfect Storm" has neither fans nor sequel films.
"Yes, at the premiere, the demon guide said that he was planning the Marvel world during this time, and it seems that he wants to put those Marvel heroes on the big screen! I didn't expect him to be interested in superheroes!" Warner president was a little worried about his DC.
Since DC Comics was acquired by Warner, its Batman and Superman have been put on the silver screen, and John is now going to adapt Marvel's heroes, which will definitely have an impact on DC.
However, the president of Warner didn't know, he was purely blindly worried, John had long regarded Warner as his own thing, but he hadn't put it in his pocket yet!
Universal, Warner, DreamWorks, Lucas, Sony, none of these companies want to run, these companies have been regarded by John as meat in the mouth, and it is up to John to take it at his will.
At the same time, while Warners' president and vice president are worried about their DC heroes, the president of 20th Century Fox and the vice president in charge of distribution are rejoicing.
"Knowing that the demon director is going to be on "The Lord of the Rings" this summer, we fortunately moved "Desert Island Afterlife" to the Christmas block, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!" "The president of 20th Century Fox looked at the box office figures in the newspaper, and was glad that he changed "The Rest of the Desert Island" to be released on Christmas at that time, otherwise he would definitely be hit hard by "The Lord of the Rings".
"Yes, the demon director has not released a work for two years, and as soon as he came out, he directly broke the box office record at midnight, but it's a pity that it's not our director!" The vice president felt sour, he couldn't figure out why such a powerful director John deigned to be in a second-tier film company like New Line, a director of John's level, a first-line company is the place to live.
Universal has Spielberg, Lucasfilm has Lucas, and 20th Century Fox has Cameron, but Cameron's production is too low, after filming "Titanic", now he has gone diving, if Cameron's production is as high as John's, 20th Century Fox will definitely make a lot of profits.
And just when the president and vice president of 20th Century Fox lamented that John was not his own, Paramount Pictures was gloomy, Paramount's movie "Man 100%" and "The Lord of the Rings" were on point, this was done by John on purpose, he deliberately put the release time of "The Lord of the Rings" a week after the release of "100% of Men", and used "The Lord of the Rings" to defeat "100% of Men", anyway, he has already offended Paramount, so it is better to continue to offend than to pull hatred everywhere. Anyway, Paramount Pictures can't do anything about him.
"What do you all say we should do now?"
The president of Paramount looked at a group of main pipes in charge of the distribution.
A group of supervisors heard the president's words, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, John has not produced a work for two years, fans have long been hungry and thirsty, and now he is back with a well-known movie, the momentum is strong, and it is difficult to stop it.
"President, let's increase the publicity of "100% Men" and increase exposure! Then stir up the gossip of Mel Gibson and Helen Hunter to increase the topic!"
One of the supervisors cautiously gave advice.
However, the president of Paramount was not impressed by his suggestion.
"Increasing publicity means making the best investment, the cost has to increase, and what we need to do now is to make the film "100% Man" under the impact of "The Lord of the Rings"! ”
The president of Paramount is certainly not going to pay for the best distribution of "100% of Men", which is too risky.
"Call Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt and ask them to do some publicity for the film, and call the theaters to try to keep our screen count and screening cycle!"
The president of Paramount quickly came up with two ways to spend less money and work, firing Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt can certainly bring the topic and increase the exposure of the film, and the number of screens and the screening cycle, which are directly linked to the box office.
The summer vacation with John was desperate, "Saving Private Ryan", "Forrest Gump", "The Matrix", "Independence Day...... , John has proved his strength with one work after another, there are only a few directors in the world who can compete with him, John has only lost once in ten years, Spielberg has won him once with "Jurassic Park", but he also won Spielberg once with "The Matrix", so the two are tied, but John is the person who has won the most annual box office charts, four times, no one has surpassed him, as for the Oscar statuette John has already gotten it, and on the global box office list, the first place is John's " Forrest Gump", the billions of dollars at the box office pressed everyone to raise their heads, so the nickname of the enchantress guide was not arbitrarily sealed, and Spielberg was recognized as the person who started the summer vacation file, and John has been recognized as: the king of the summer vacation file, this is recognized by everyone, not John's self-styled.
And everyone knows that John hasn't appeared for two years, and now he is returning with "The Lord of the Rings", he will definitely be bloodied at the box office, plus Spielberg, Cameron, Lucas and other bigwigs have no works this year, no one is destined to stop John from becoming the top of the annual box office charts.
However, for John, it doesn't matter whether he is a champion or not, the most important thing now is to finish the rest of "The Lord of the Rings" quickly, because there is still a wedding waiting for him in New York, so the rest of the plot is not very bad, and the filming can be completed in three months, and it will be just time to return to New York to get married.
