Chapter 54: Counterattack

As the new week began, the publicity of "Human Eradication Project" increased sharply, and the main creative staff of the crew also appeared in the media, attracting more people's attention.

Several main actors have also been interviewed by different media, and they have gradually begun to accumulate fame inside and outside the circle.

These all help the film maintain a certain amount of heat.

In addition, since Monday, the theater and schedule rates of "Human Eradication Project" have been increasing, which are the basis for generating box office.

Thanks to the increase in screens, the film grossed only 55 percent on its first working day from Sunday, and grossed $1.87 million on Monday.

In the days that followed, with the help of an increased publicity campaign and an increasing number of theaters, "Project Human Eradication" performed steadily at the single-day box office, earning $1.8 million, $1.65 million and $1.52 million, respectively.

The four working days combined for $6.84 million.

The North American box office of "Project Human Eradication" easily crossed the $20 million mark.

"Mommy!"

In a small apartment, Amanda Seyfried ran into the living room with a newspaper and excitedly shouted, "Look! Hurry up!" Ronan mentioned me in an interview. ”

Although she participated in two media announcements this week, she did not receive much attention compared to adult actors.

Mrs. Seyfried put down the cookbook in her hand, looked up and asked, "What did Ronan Anderson say?"

"Ah, of course it's a compliment! I'm so good!" Amanda was a little proud at first, and then imitated the tone of the man, and said according to the newspaper: "Miss Amanda Seyfried is the most spiritual young actor I have ever met, and her performance, her understanding and understanding of the role are amazing. I think this quality of hers is very charming, and it completes her character creation on the set, because she can get into the scene very quickly and give a performance that the director is satisfied with. ”

Mrs. Seyfried nodded, "That's right, not so much cake in vain." ”

Amanda walked over to her mother and sat down, saying, "I'm already doing well, and Ronan is good. ”

"yes, nice young man. Mrs. Seyfried agreed.

Although the filmmakers have not seen much, they have heard a lot of rumors, and this Ronan Anderson is also a picky point during negotiations, and other times he is really a good person who is strict with himself.

Humility, hard work and integrity.

Not to mention the entertainment industry, in society, such young people are extremely rare.

Moreover, this young man is making great success.

"The North American box office has exceeded $20 million. Mrs. Seyfried whispered, "The second weekend has just begun." ”

"Mom. Amanda was limited by age and experience, and did not know enough about the significance of the box office, and asked, "Is $20 million a good box office?"

Mrs. Seyfried shook her head: "My silly daughter, you have to understand one thing. In Hollywood, it has always been a commercial activity for producers and production companies to invest in films, with the ultimate goal of making commercial profits. ”

Amanda understood the words: "Make money?"

"Hollywood is only good if it makes money. Mrs. Seyfried studied in depth during this time: "Only producers who can make money can continue to be successful and bring more opportunities." ”

She looked at Amanda Seyfried, "Do you understand?"

I hope my daughter can grow up early, this is a complicated circle, especially Amanda is so beautiful and cute.

It is not easy to make a lot of money without letting her daughter suffer.

Mrs. Seyfried picked up the cookbook again: "$20 million is just the beginning of 'The Human Eradication Project,' this film has only been released for a week, and even if the horror film has a short screening life, there will be two or three weeks after that, and what is the final box office?"

Amanda opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Mrs. Seyfried reached out and gently stroked her daughter's long blond hair: "Only successful people can continue to be successful, I heard it when I was on the set, Ronan Anderson and James Wong are still working on a new film. ”

"I've heard of it too. Amanda chimed in.

"Don't you have Ronan Anderson's contact information?" Mrs. Seyfried instructed carefully, "contact him and see when he's free, and then go and bring him some cake." ”

Aside from the negotiations, Ronan Anderson made such a good impression on her.

Amanda nodded, "I'll just text and ask." ”

……

When Ronan received Amanda's text message, he was writing the outline of the script, and when he saw the text message that the little girl said that she was coming to deliver the cake, he directly told her that she was not available for the time being.

He finally found a suitable idea, and he didn't want people to disturb him.

"Death Is Coming" couldn't have dragged on for long, James Wong and Glenn Morgan were working on initial paperwork such as script and storyboard, and Ronan wanted to get the project up as quickly as possible.

Having run a "Human Eradication Project", Ronan knows very well that if you really want to shoot the desired effect for the project "Death is Coming", you can't do it with millions of dollars, and a budget of tens of millions of dollars is necessary.

It is good that there are "Arab brothers".

But having dealt with Abu Dhabi, Ronan knows that those people are trenches, but they are not stupid.

Especially for projects like "Death is Coming", it is difficult to impress the people of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority by using profits as bait alone.

He had thought before that the two projects would be bundled and funded, and the other would be a real Arab film.

With the Human Eradication Plan as a basis, it is possible to pull in investment.

If it really doesn't work, he also has a plan, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" to finance the private sector in Abu Dhabi, and another Arab project to finance the Investment Bureau.

There is one project that satisfies the investment bureau, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult for another project to be approved for private financing.

Some of the profits from Abu Dhabi businessmen who invested in the Human Erasure Plan will be properly cashed in before financing new projects......

Unfortunately, the richest in Abu Dhabi is still official.

The amount and difficulty of private financing should not be comparable to that of the Investment Bureau.

But the two movies are packaged and operated, and they can be used appropriately.

With a clear plan, it is more targeted to prepare the script.

Ronan intends to tailor the script for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which is the most popular action movie today, roughly telling the story of a powerful Abu Dhabi agent who encounters a terrorist plot and goes on a killing spree to save the world.

The plot borrows from the setting of part of "Ace Agent", of course, the British gentleman's set is not suitable for Arabs, and the character design must be changed.

Well...... This project is called "Ace Agent".

The hero destroys the conspiracy and thus saves the world.

It's clichΓ©, but it's also the most convincing model for success.

With the supporting characters of "Human Eradication Project" as a foreshadowing, this time the Arab character was directly upgraded to the protagonist.

If the film can be a big hit, can it create an Arab James Bond...... No, it's the Ethan-Hunter series.

Ronan immediately shook his head, he was very sober, and he didn't expect such a movie to be profitable in North America or the world.

After this pit, it is estimated that the cooperation with the Arabs will be temporarily stopped, and there will be problems if you catch a sheep and pull it hard.

After going through the plan in his brain again, Ronan began to write the outline of the script for the important protagonist character, this male protagonist must have a vigorous posture, handsome appearance, and outstanding skills...... Oh, by the way, since you are an Arab, you must have a devout faith.

As for terrorists, writing directly about Jews? absolutely not, that's asking for trouble, or it's better to be white.

The white people in the movie just mess with it, and the mainstream media in the United States will definitely not make a noise about it.

Aren't white people used to spoil in movies?

Just like this "Human Eradication Project", many media and well-known film critics have interpreted various realistic propositions related to American society, but no one said that it is wrong for blacks and Arab supporting characters to kill whites.

Political correctness will have a more and more far-reaching impact in the future, and there will even be a great reckoning with what happened in the past in the future.

There are some things to be aware of.

While Ronan was working in the office of Sand Sea Entertainment to prepare for his next step, "Human Eradication Project" began its second weekend of screening in North American theaters.

On the first day of this weekend, the number of screenings of "Human Eradication Project" skyrocketed to nearly 2,500, second only to "Halloween 7" in terms of the number of theaters and the screening rate.

The film completed its comeback on Friday, beating "Halloween 7" with $3.21 million and winning the first single-day box office title since its release with $3.21 million.

Subsequently, over the course of three days over the weekend, "The Human Eradication Project" also counterattacked "Halloween 7".
