Chapter Eighty-Four: False Speculation of Box Office Data

When he just thought that the first-day box office could be used as a hype for publicity, Walter had a plan, since they only released one time in the United States on May 28, similar to the advance of ordinary movies, then why not release the first-day box office data on the third day?

The reason is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to mix up the public view, because on May 28, they will release the 10 o'clock in the evening, so the box office on May 29 the next day should also be counted as the first day of the box office, and wait until May 30, when the news is released, the box office of the first two days will be counted and publicized as the box office of the first day.

In that case, if the movie doesn't crash, and the box office is the same as Walter thought, and the box office of the next day, May 29th, is about the same as the box office of May 28th the day before, then if the box office of this first day is promoted by him, it can be the sum of the previous two days.

As for whether there will be box office fraud after the publicity, Walter will not care about it, and now it is not the United States in the future, the box office calculation is so accurate, and the fraud is easy to be discovered.

And Walter didn't buy the box office, but real data, even if it was North America in the future, wouldn't there be blockbusters, because the production found that the company deliberately falsely hyped the box office data for publicity?

Anyway, the movie will definitely have so many box offices, and the box office on the first day is almost 10 million US dollars, so promote 10 million, after all, it is not to brag about not paying taxes, nor is it to buy box office losses and taxes, it is all for the box office results, so naturally it is fine.

Mike is also an understanding person, and after hearing Walter's explanation, he knew what he meant, which was nothing more than to directly promote the total box office of the first two days of release as the box office on the first day.

If something happens, it's a big deal to directly publicize through public opinion that the movie will be released at 10 p.m. on May 28 in advance, and as for why the advance publicity has always said that it is a public screening, then just find a reason to prevaricate.

For example, Walter proposed, find a career promoted by Disney, saying that the business is not proficient, and if there is a mistake, these things are not the public's attention, they only pay attention to whether the movie they watch is good, whether the box office is high, and whether it is worth watching.

Of course, not to mention Walter's publicity, just that there is a discussion now in Disney's headquarters and in the office of Director Miller.

"Miller, last night's "American Painting" grossed $5.32 million, is that true?"

David took a statistical table in front of him and asked Miller in disbelief, he didn't believe that the rookie deputy director of his department could reach this first-day box office with a production cost of one million dollars.

You must know that David has been in charge of the live-action film production department for so many years, and he has not made a movie with this kind of profit margin, after all, there was a box office of $5.32 million on the first day, and it was only screened for one period, even if it has the bonus of popular hype, but this kind of box office explosion has shown the potential of the movie. What's more, after yesterday, the movie plus Coca-Cola's sponsorship fee can basically be said to have recovered the cost, and the rest is profitable.

"Yes, indeed. Miller nodded, and said as if talking to himself: "It seems that I underestimated this guy, and I don't know what will happen to that "Enter the Dragon"......? David?

Miller said something like chatter, but he didn't get a response, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, after calling twice in a row, seeing that there was still no sound, he quickly looked up, only to see that his confidant David was still in a daze, and then went up and shook him.

"David, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's a little distracted. David came back to his senses at this moment and hurriedly said perfunctorily.

"Really?" Miller muttered, still feeling wrong, and then suddenly remembered the character of his cronies, and quickly asked, "Did you do anything when Walter was filming the movie?"

"Uh...... Ahh ”

David, who knew that his friend didn't like others to disobey him, and did things in private, knew that there were some things that Miller couldn't know, and he had to be vague to get by, otherwise it would be bad for him.

"That's good, Disney still needs fresh blood. Miller bowed his head in agreement, then looked at the statistics in front of him again, and said to David: "You go, remember, Walter is very popular now, with the results of this movie, he must be sought after in the board of directors, don't target him for the time being." Otherwise, it won't do us any good, at least, the live-action film production department is still ours, and no matter how good he is, it won't be difficult for us. ”

"Uh...... Okay, I see. David was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, and then said goodbye and left Miller's office.

Outside the office, after Miller, who was alone, went out the door, he secretly made a "phew" lip shape, and he was venting his complaint to Miller. Wouldn't it be nice if he listened to himself and fought Walter to the death, and didn't let him stay in the live-action film studio, but now that the tiger is so fat that they can't target it? He doesn't believe it, at that time, they fought hard to get Walter to leave, and even if Roy wanted to keep Walter, he might not be able to keep it.

Of course, at this point, David had no choice but to find a way to remedy it. However, his remedy will naturally not be like Miller's wait-and-see, Walter has sent him a war letter, to seize his position as the director, if he endures, will he be arrested, wait for Walter to force the palace himself? can only find a way to suppress Walter again, even if the price is paid, he will not hesitate.

Hey, it's been good, but how did it get like this......

And why didn't Lucas and Walter have a conflict, he originally hoped to use the company's forced order, plus the theft of Walter's name, to stuff a few little girls that Lucas couldn't use at all, causing disputes and contradictions between the two, and when things get bigger, he will take action again, completely messing up Walter's movie.

It's just that I didn't expect that damn guy to find a little girl named Jodie Foster with very good acting skills, isn't God on his side?
