Chapter 111: High-profile response

Of course, the contemporaneous production that Tang Feng mentioned is not a complete integration of the pre-production and post-production of the film.

He just wanted to better grasp the shooting of the film, as well as save some time in printing and editing, and to some extent to achieve the same period.

But it was this incomplete contemporaneous period that benefited him and the actors a lot.

As professional actors, it is definitely a happy thing for them to be able to ponder repeatedly in a movie and constantly temper their acting skills.

This kind of shooting method not only promotes the actors, but also the cinematographers and other staff on the set.

As a director, Tang Feng has made a good movie, but he has not yet formed his own style.

In fact, until now, Tang Feng has not considered this problem.

It's too early for him to talk about style, and he doesn't want to let the so-called style constrain him.

There are a lot of movies to be made, and they are also very varied, so he wants to try more films and accumulate enough experience before thinking about this problem.

The filming of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is in full swing, and the box office of the eighth week of "Killer Tragedy" has also been counted.

This week, the box office of "Dances with Wolves" climbed again, achieving more than 40 million box office in a wave of praise.

Although the box office of "Killer Tragedy" has just exceeded 10 million, it is a result achieved when it is released on the screen, which is only one-sixth of the former.

"Die Hard 2", which is still being released, although there are still more than 1,000 screens playing, only achieved more than 9 million box office this week.

Such a disparity has been strongly condemned by many people, and they have set off another wave of protests after the box office data was released.

But what no one expected was that this time Warner was no longer silent, and on November 8, a press conference was held.

At the meeting, Aris, the first CEO of Time Warner, delivered a speech, "First of all, on behalf of myself, I would like to express my regret and sympathy for the experience of "Killer Tragedy". ”

"We've heard a lot of talk about this over this time."

"Some people say that it was us and the theater chain that reached an agreement in private to monopolize the whole of Hollywood in a despicable and shameless way."

"Here, I would like to say that this statement is completely wrong, not only is it illogical, but it also has no basis to prove it, and it is completely nonsense!"

"I don't want to make too many excuses about this."

"I just want to make it clear that before the release of "Killer Tragedy", we signed an agreement with the theater chain, and the release date and number of theaters have been determined."

"And "Killer Tragedy" landed in the three major theaters, or it was drawn from the theaters we booked, so after the release of "Dances with Wolves", it is reasonable to complete the number of theaters according to the agreement."

"What's more, in the tentative agreement signed between the theater chain and Miramax, the distributor of "Killer Tragedy", it is also written that theater adjustments will be made at any time, and even the screening will be suspended."

"So, the fact is not that we at Warner have conducted so-called off-market transactions with the three major cinema chains, all of this is just the result of business operations."

Aris's words immediately caused a lot of discussion, but when the reporters saw the contract offered by Warner and the theater chain, they immediately fell silent.

Looking at the speechless reporters, Aris was very proud in his heart, "It's still the boss's idea, it's just a fake contract, so I coaxed these fools." ”

"Now, it's time to watch my performance."

"Damn Sean, you caused us so much trouble that I lost face in front of Rose and got beaten up!"

"This time, I'm going to get you out of Hollywood completely!"

Aris showed reporters two contracts, one is the distribution contract signed by Miramax and the three major theater chains, and the other is the contract between Time Warner and the three major theater chains.

The distribution contract of "Killer Tragedy" is naturally real, and there is no way to fake this.

But the contract for "Dances with Wolves" was a contract privately concocted by Ross at the behest of Ross.

It can be said that this contract, whether it is from the content of it or from the date of signing, confirms what Aris just said.

Even if some people think of some possibility of fraud, there is no way to refute it.

Because this contract, in addition to the signatures of both parties, it is also stamped with the seal of the law firm, which is completely a real contract with legal effect!

Except for a few people who cheated, no one knew the doorway.

It was this fake contract that couldn't be real anymore that suddenly allowed Warner and the three major theaters to regain their disadvantage, and also successfully blocked the mouths of those who were dissatisfied with them.

Rose came up with the idea after Aris was beaten that day.

He's done this many times, and this is the first time he's used it in a movie.

In order to achieve maximum secrecy, he sent Aris to contact the three major theater chains, and finally concocted the contract.

And in fact, it's not as they say.

"Killer Tragedy" was forced offline, but it was just a victim of Warner, 20 Fox, and the exchange of interests of the three major theater chains.

Warner wants to make a big start with "Dances with Wolves", and 20 Fox also wants to make more money with "Die Hard 2".

Then the unlucky one is only "The Killer's Tragedy".

It is precisely because many people have seen through this truth that it has caused widespread dissatisfaction and has turned into one-sided condemnation and controversy.

Well, now, as soon as Aris's contract came out, it immediately covered up the truth of the matter.

put the blame on Tang Feng and those irrational audiences, and they became good people who acted according to the law.

Originally, he wanted to say something unpleasant again, but considering the terrible boss, he had to stop there and do what Rose told him.

"Guys, this matter has caused us a lot of trouble, but we are not prepared to pursue anything."

"I myself also like Sean's movies very much, and I can say that "Killer Tragedy" is really a rare good movie."

"And that's what independent filmmakers are doing."

"I'm also thinking about whether I can let those excellent independent films get more opportunities to be screened?"

"After all, a lot of us have become well-known directors, actors, producers and other professionals by making independent films."

"It's fair to say that over the years, independent filmmakers have sent a lot of talent to Hollywood."

"They are just like us, we are all making indelible contributions to the great film industry!"

"So, I think we shouldn't be enemies, but we should join hands and make more and better movies together!"

Regardless of whether he was hypocritical or fake, his words moved many people, and the reporters present were all reporters from the entertainment industry, so they would naturally be inspired by his words.

After a round of applause, Aris continued: "Last weekend, perhaps out of anger and grievance, the young and vigorous little Sean challenged us. ”

"Well, then, I'll announce now, we at Warner accept your challenge!"

"In the Christmas file, we will release a very good movie, "Edward Scissorhands"!"

"This film was co-produced and distributed by Time Warner and 20 Fox."

"Let's use this movie to fight in the ring with his "Little Sunshine Beauty"!"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the important thing is that this is a historic, Hollywood film industry and independent filmmakers!"

"yes, I see it as an exchange, not a ring match."

After a pause, Aris said, "In order to be fairer, we will participate in the release of "Little Sunshine Beauty" this time, and I will contact Sean personally in the near future." ”

"I hope that this grand occasion will not only feast the eyes of the audience, but also promote exchanges in the film industry."

"After all, the development of films and the prosperity of the market are not just a matter of Hollywood, but the common cause of all filmmakers, including independent filmmakers!"

"In addition, I would like to reveal to you a piece of news, the famous old drama bone Alan Akin, not only had a wonderful performance in "Edward Scissorhands", but also participated in Sean's "Little Sunshine Beauty"!"

"So, which of these two movies will make Allen in the limelight, let's wait and see!"
