Chapter 551: The summer file is here
As May approaches, the atmosphere in Hollywood is starting to get tense. For no other reason, the annual summer file battle is coming!
Although there are still Valentine's Day schedules, Christmas schedules, Halloween schedules, etc., the summer season is still the most tragic place. In the first two schedules, some heartwarming films are usually screened for the whole family or couples.
And the Halloween stall ...... Ever since Leila dug out this schedule with "Blair the Witch" and "SA", no one has been able to beat the horror films produced by Immortal Bird in this schedule. It is not an exaggeration to say that this schedule is exclusive to immortal birds.
Other film production companies are not unpopular, but no matter what horror movies they do, they have not been able to overturn the immortal. Just with the annual sequel to "Saw Horror" or "Here Comes the Grim Reaper", they let them occupy this slot to death.
This year's summer season has attracted the attention of countless media and the public as early as possible, and the genius director's seventh work "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will collide head-on with Joseph's "Catwoman" on the last weekend of the end of June, like a comet hitting the earth.
If it's just that the two movies met during the release period, it wouldn't be anything, but there was still some implication between them. For example, Joseph defected from Leila's company and held a press conference to criticize them in public for making bad movies. Another example is that Leila was ordered to take over the bad movie that was sprayed as "coaxing children", and deliberately put the release date on the same day as "Catwoman".
It seems like it's been a long time since there has been such a violent collision. The major film companies that have always competed will deliberately avoid the blockbusters of other companies, in order not to let the box office be diverted too seriously. Who will have trouble with money these days? Similar types of special effects blockbusters are put together, and the result can only be a lose-lose situation.
It stands to reason that no one will have a hard time with the box office, but who would have thought that there would be such a big lady as Leila, who is not bad at money and can't bear to be angry?
Who's to say that she did something wrong? After all, it was the director Joseph who made the first move. Terminate the contract, and hold a special press conference to scold people. Scold it, scold it, and even other people's movies have to be smeared. If you don't hit someone in the face, don't blame others for getting angry and fighting back if you do something annoying.
But Joseph didn't think he was going to lose either. He has the most adequate funds and does not need to carefully calculate the budget of the movie at all, and he also has the most loyal audience, those fans of Catwoman's comics and ordinary people who are interested in Catwoman. The most important thing is that there are the sexiest women in the movie, and whenever Harry Berry is on the big screen, there will be a group of men who will go crazy for her.
And what's on the other side? a bunch of kids, and a bunch of old-fashioned British actors, and just a book. Even if there are some fans, but there are more children, how much can they make the box office rise?
Joseph had seen the script and knew that such a thin plot would not attract many audiences even if it was filmed. So when he was bribed and heard the promise to make him a movie with a bigger budget, he was cheerfully betrayed.
Even when he learned later that Leila had taken over the director's position in person, it didn't make him panic. In his opinion, it was the only option that no one else was willing to take over, and there was no choice. No matter how powerful she is, how much better can she be than herself? Joseph believes that this movie will break her undefeated golden body, end her good luck, and make her understand the cruelty of Hollywood!
So on the first Sunday of May, he released the trailer for Catwoman.
Which one he filmed or the director of the original version in his previous life was better, Leila didn't know. But one thing she knows for sure is that Joseph at least did a great job of the trailer. In just over a minute, Harry Berry has changed from an old-fashioned woman with no temperament to a sexy little wild cat, and the black leather suit that almost makes people wonder if it will burst her breasts is even more attention-grabbing.
Flaming red lips, brilliant fighting action, and a beautiful body full of fantasy, comic fans who watched the trailer chanted that this is the Catwoman they want to see.
"Why are the trailers for Catwoman coming out, but there is no movement in Harry Potter on Lyra's side?"
Many fans ran to Leila's FB to ask. They can't wait to know who will win this box office war, whether it is Leila or Joseph, who betrayed Leila and is still very arrogant.
The fans' demands of Laila will definitely do it, and the reason why there is no trailer is that she will not say that she is too busy to forget.
In fact, I really forgot, after filming "Harry Potter", I went to the crew of "Chicago", and after filming "Chicago", I began to work on the preparation of "Iron Man". At the same time, I am also responsible for the coordination of editing, post-production, special effects, and many other aspects, so it is not surprising that I will forget about the trailer.
And the people below her thought that she was a last-ditch solution, and felt that the lack of a trailer might be some kind of hunger marketing strategy of her, so they didn't remind her, so as not to expose their stupid mind that couldn't see the boss's foresight. As a result, she was chased by fans and asked her to come and make a trailer.
Trailers are really simple to say, but difficult to say, but quite difficult. Because in just a few minutes, not only must you show the wonderful movie to attract the audience, but you can't spoil it too much, lest you know everything and lose the mood to watch it.
Someone once said that if you watch the trailer, every movie is wonderful, and it is a moving blockbuster. That's because if you compress an hour or two of a movie into a few minutes, you're sure to pick up some of the best clips. However, when you actually watch it, you will find that what is on the trailer is what the movie is all about. Sometimes the seemingly wonderful content is not at all out of place with other shots in the movie, and sometimes it is even the best part of the movie, and everything else is filled with some boring material for dozens of minutes.
Let's take Catwoman as an example, because the script is produced by DC, and Layla guesses that it should not be much different from the original content in her previous life. Judging from the clips in the trailer, the special effects seem to be done well, and the costumes of the characters are not too gaudy, which is indeed like the quality of a blockbuster. Otherwise, comic fans would not have celebrated and shouted that they would go to the cinema to contribute to the box office.
The other party focuses on the word "sexy", and Lyra's trailer is cut to novelty, putting some of Harry Potter's situations in the school, such as a moving staircase, a huge cafeteria, a flying broomstick, and the magic of the magic teachers into the trailer.
