523 Spell of Tightness

The rags were completely out of control, and they were so turbulent that Fisher himself was frightened. It's been a long, long time since he's been so out of shape, but today, he really can't take it anymore.

Chris raised his head with a stunned face, looked at Fisher, whose face was flushed, and didn't know how to react, and was stunned for a while.

"You're the leading actor of a first-class production, the absolute number one! This is a height that many actors can't dream of reaching in their lifetime, you know? Not even that guy! He's just a male number three, number three!" Fisher didn't know why, the name "Lan Li-Hall" was rolling on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say it, just replaced it with "that guy"," Everyone's eyes are on you, a glittering avenue is already in front of you, and you still have an expression of being abandoned by the whole world, so are all those actors who can't even play supporting roles going to commit suicide?"

"Not to mention that the box office hasn't lost yet, even if the box office really smashes the pot, you still have a chance, you know?" Fisher said with red eyes, looking at Chris who didn't have any reaction in front of him, and couldn't help but roar again, "You know?" Chris was taken aback and nodded quickly.

"Even Hayden Christensen, he didn't save as fast. Fisher rushed in front of Chris, and roared step by step, "What's more, respected Prince Thor, you have signed a three-film contract with Marvel, a full three! You still have two more chances! At least! So, cheer up! Don't put on that cuckolded face from your girlfriend." ”

In the midst of that deafening roar, Chris finally came to his senses and nodded his head in affirmation.

"Cheer up! Cheer up, you are still a winner in life, you can still be a winner in life!" Fisher roared hoarsely, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily. It's just that he doesn't know if this is for Chris or for himself.

Chris's emotions were also aroused, and he stood up excitedly, waved his fists, and roared twice. But after roaring, he felt a burst of emptiness, like a balloon that had just been blown up, and as soon as his hands were loosened, he was immediately deflated again, "But, Lan Li......"

Lanli-Hall, Lanli-Hall, Lanli-Hall.

It's almost a curse, just thinking about it in his head, he feels stuffy, these two days, he doesn't even dare to read the news, in the propaganda process, all the news is excluded, but even so, occasionally see TV news, occasionally hear radio programs, occasionally hear passers-by talking, that name is everywhere, people breathless.

With a wave of his hand, Fisher directly cut off Chris's words. Anger rolled in his chest, he didn't want to hear the name now more than Chris, "He's him, you're you." Honestly, do you have his acting skills?" Chris choked directly in his throat with a sentence, "He's destined to roll around in art films, and you're going to be the second Tom Cruise." So, focus on yourself and ignore the others. ”

"Tom Cruise?" Chris's attention shifted involuntarily, and his expression gradually returned to his brilliance.

Fisher nodded in the affirmative, "So, we have to focus on it now, 'Thor' just didn't do that well at the box office for the first time." Do you know what the box office for the premiere of 'Avatar' was?" Chris shook his head, "Seventy-seven million." "How low?" Chris's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

"At the time, everyone thought that James Cameron had suffered Waterloo and that this movie could be the second 'Superman Returns'. On the bright account, Twentieth Century Fox said that the work invested 250 million yuan, but in fact, we all know that the production cost has exceeded 300 million, and the publicity cost has also reached more than 60 million. The premiere was only 77 million, which is equivalent to a death sentence for James. ”

Fisher's relaxed words caught Chris's full attention, and he couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

Fisher stood up straight and said lightly, "Then, the box office drop of 'Avatar' in the second week was only 1.8 percent, and it won 75 million weekend box office again. And then, 'bang', 700 million in North America, 2 billion in the world. So, now you understand, what are we supposed to do next?"

Chris swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart began to accelerate, "How?"

"Working hard to get the word out, trying to be active, trying to cooperate, we need an ultra-low sub-weekly decline. The anger gradually subsided, and Fisher regained his senses, "Not only that, but there is also overseas promotion, and the overseas box office is our main battlefield." As long as the hype is right, we can make a profit not only by recovering costs. The future of 'Thor', the sky is our ceiling, and this is just the beginning. ”

Chris clenched his fists again, cheering himself on. Hope, ignited again. Indeed, he is too short-sighted, "Thor" has only been released for a week, and there is a whole world waiting for him to conquer!

"Okay! Let's get to work! We've got to get to work!" Chris began to jump on the spot, his whole body rejuvenated, and before he knew it, he left Lan Li behind, "So why did you call me over? Is there anything special?"

"Propaganda, we need to change our strategy. Fisher's train of thought became clear again, "Next, I will ask the reporter to mention the 'borrowed door' again, you deny it, firmly deny it, emphasizing that this is a misunderstanding, as for the specific situation, you said that you will communicate privately with Lan Li, a conversation between men and men." ”

Chris's excited expression paused slightly, and Fisher immediately stepped up his efforts, "Trust me, you'll do well, and then, everything will be fine." Definitely!"

This is Hollywood, this is reality, not a fairy tale. It's not just a work that determines success or failure, the future is still very long, there is still plenty of time, and it is not yet known who will die. Ranley Hall, this war has only just begun. Fisher couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, "Since you want a war, then, I'll give you a war! Let me educate you on what survival of the fittest is!"

As Fisher said, this is Hollywood, where the outcome of the week is important, but every week there are new movies released, and every week there are new topics born. The third week of May is no exception –

When major film companies arrange summer schedules, this week is undoubtedly a minefield that everyone is trying their best to avoid, with "Thor" in front, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in the back, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" in the next week, which is simply in a deep encirclement.

Originally, Warner Bros. planned to arrange "The Hangover 2" in this schedule, hoping that the comedy could lock in different audiences and make a splash of weather, but in the end, he was still lacking in confidence and chose the fifth week of May to face off with "Kung Fu Panda 2" and carve up the market after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".

As a result, only two small-budget works were left as cannon fodder this week, one is the "Exorcist" produced by Columbia, with an investment of 60 million US dollars, which is also a movie based on the comics, the original book is from South Korea, about a world where angels, demons and vampires coexist, looking forward to being able to use the vampire theme that has flourished in the past two years, and reap box office success.

The other is the low-cost comedy "bridesmaids" invested by Universal Pictures, the cost of 32.5 million is a typical Universal style, with the actors of "Saturday Night Live" as the main team, such a type of comedy movie can more or less occupy a place in the summer file every year, but how much potential can be tapped is a gamble.

In this week, how much box office can the two works "The Exorcist" and "Bridesmaids" achieve in order to survive in the cracks? And what kind of decline will "Thor" and "Fast and Thrill/Love 5" hand over? What will be the follow-up box office curve of the two intractable works? Also, among the four works in the competition, who will win the weekend box office championship in the final carnival before the debut of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"? What kind of results will it win? Finally, can the summer boom continue? Will the unexpected outcome of the opening battle have an impact?

These focal points once again grabbed people's attention, and the midsummer craze rose further.

Needless to say, the two players in the opening battle faced off again, which is still one of the focuses, but the situation has quietly changed, because the previous victory and defeat trend is too surprising, and because the victory advantage of "Speed and Excitement 5" is really too great, the confrontation between the two has lost its original meaning, and the spark of-for-tat has gradually dissipated, and now it is more about fighting with themselves.

For Paramount, the North American box office of "Thor" still needs to work harder, although there is little hope of 200 million in North America, but it is still the goal of their efforts; on the other hand, they also need to shift more energy to the pull of the overseas market, and then look forward to the overseas box office can achieve good results and achieve profitability.

For Universal, there is no doubt that 300 million in North America will be the unyielding goal of "Fast & Excitement/Emotion 5", not only that, but the overseas box office is also their strength, the fourth part of the previous series has achieved an excellent result of 200 million US dollars overseas, even higher than North America, this time, they are naturally looking forward to the fifth part to maintain the fine tradition.

Both companies are doing their best. Especially Universal Pictures, without any expectations, "Fast and Exciting / Love 5" has created a miracle, and now they are also looking forward to the "bridesmaids" who have become cannon fodder for abandoned children, to continue such a magical performance and once again achieve the counterattack of the dark horse.

For a while, the North American summer season was very lively, and then, when people saw the North American box office champion in the third week of May, the mood was even higher, cheers, praises, and exclamations were endless-

"Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" completed the championship again with excellent performance, achieving the first triple championship since 2011!
