Chapter 137: Eric's Ambition [Subscription Requested]
Matthew. Ronte squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth at the screen.
The fourth line after "Hard Candy", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Kill Bill" is the specific data of "Runaway Jury".
"Runaway Jury" – 20th Century Fox; box office $4,034,904; 2,815 theaters were released, with a single-theater box office of $1,433; Cost $60 million (1).
Each number was like a sharp blade, poking into his eyes as his gaze swept over.
60 million investment, the box office on the first day was only 4 million, and it was a day like Friday, not a normal working day.
However, this is only 4 million, and there are no surprises at the box office on Saturdays and Sundays, which is similar to this.
On next week's working day, he can fully imagine the bleak situation at the box office, and if the North American box office wants to exceed 40 million, it will need to be screened for a long time.
Not to mention that for "Runaway Jury", 20th Century Fox originally expected that North America could get 80 million at the box office, but the reality is so cruel.
At this moment, the BoxOfficeMojo forum also exploded because of yesterday's box office.
"Fruit Hard Candy" can win the single-day box office championship, which is almost impossible in the eyes of most people, not to mention that the single-day box office has reached 15.65 million.
15.65 million, nearly 4 million higher than the first two days of the release of "Hard Fruit Candy".
"It's almost a miracle, God, that it's even higher than two days before the premiere? In fact, "Hard Fruit Candy" is just good. Can anyone tell me why? ”
"I love it anyway. I don't care about anyone else.
There should be guys like me. No one thinks that Hayley's actor Jennifer. Is Lawrence pretty? She must be a beauty when she grows up. ”
"I don't agree with her looks, but it's not ugly, but her acting skills are like God gave her, she's that big, and it's only the first film."
"It's Justin. Chen's credit, Scarlett's acting skills in "Buried Alive" are superb, and this film Joe. Hamm's acting skills are also very good, especially when he is castrated. I was completely brought in. ”
"Is there any speculation about the end up at the North American box office for Hard Fruit Candy? From the premiere to the present, a total of 45.53 million. ”
"According to today's box office and word of mouth, I don't think it's a big problem to get $20 million on Saturday and Sunday, at least 80 million, and it is very likely to exceed 100 million in the long run."
"100 million, only $1 million spent, will those big productions hide in the corner and cry?"
"Justin, director of miracle, I think it's a great word, as if 'Super Burger King' is going to break the documentary record."
"Yes, 20.89 million. Tomorrow we should be able to break the record! ”
"Justin, director of miracles, I'm looking forward to 'Little Miss Sunshine'. Not a thriller though. ”
"Me too, I hope Justin cherishes his name and brings us more good movies instead of bad movies."
……
Roger and Alice looked at the forum, "Hard Fruit Candy" occupied almost half of the posts, and as the veterans of Chen Tianying's fan group, they felt extremely happy.
"It's incredible 15.65 million, Justin, you've created another miracle, more than 5 million I think it's a victory." Eric. Lomis made a phone call, excited between words.
"Hard Fruit Candy" completely exceeded his expectations, which made him more confident.
Although "Fruit Hard Candy" was released for 8 days in terms of time, it is almost negligible from Monday to Thursday, which is actually equivalent to 4 and a half days of release.
In just such a short period of time, it got a box office score of nearly 45.53 million, which is 10 million higher than the total box office of "Limited Time Pursuit", which was released for 15 days.
In comparison, "Time Hunt" costs as much as 60 million, while "Hard Candy" only costs 1 million.
"Honestly, I was surprised." Chen Tian didn't expect to be able to get such a high box office.
According to his original tone, "Fruit Hard Candy" is just a vote for men and leaves, and they will be scolded very badly.
In fact, things were very similar to what he imagined, but two cases unexpectedly appeared, and these two cases directly pushed "Hard Candy" into the center of the storm.
At the same time, it also gave "Fruit Hard Candy" an excellent publicity opportunity, and Chen Tian had to sigh that fate was so strange.
If it weren't for the two cases that happened to be exposed, perhaps the box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" would end up to be about 60 million.
However, it has now reached 45.53 million, and it is almost ironclad that it will end this week to cross 60 million.
In this way, after a long-term broadcast for two months, "Fruit Hard Candy" is likely to sprint to 100 million yuan little by little.
"God is fair, Hard Fruit Candy is a good movie, Justin, I have an idea, but it's not mature at the moment."
"Immature thoughts?"
"Yes, an immature idea, now the top management has decided to reshoot the 007 series, and if there are no unforeseen circumstances, then it is likely to happen.
Now our production department is ready to draft a plan, but it will not be possible until this time next year at the earliest, including the director, to determine some specific things. ”
Chen Tian reacted suddenly: "Erik, your immature idea won't be for me to direct 007?" ”
"Justin, as a friend I support you, but ......"
Chen Tian interrupted Eric. Lomis's words, he is not a fool: "I need more qualifications, do I?" Like that pact with Fox? ”
"Yes, but the start time of that film will not be until next year, and we may need to report to the director this time next year, and the copyright of 007 is very complicated.
Now we have the rights, but the production is still EON Pictures, and MGM is mainly responsible for distribution.
But I want you to become the director of OO7, and you should know that it's not easy. ”
Chen Tian didn't know what to do, Eric. What is the idea behind Lomis's desire to make him the director of 007, but for Chen Tian, being able to direct a big production like 007 is definitely unattainable.
There is no director who doesn't want his directorial career to become a super-blockbuster director.
But it's not easy to get a chance to direct a big-budget commercial film in Hollywood. At least Chen Tian hasn't thought too much about it at the moment.
For him, "The Queen Wears Prada" and the new "League of Assassins" are also commercial films. But the attention is far from being comparable to that of 007 and superhero series.
"Eric. Say, what do you need me to do? ”
"If possible, shoot League of Assassins ahead of schedule, or shoot an action movie before that, and of course it would be great if Little Beauty in the Sun and Queen Wears Prada would be a big hit, then I'm more confident."
Chen Tian remembered that the filming of "Casino Royale" was started in 2005 and released in 2006 after MGM was acquired by Sony.
The end result was nearly $600 million at the global box office. became the highest-grossing film in the 007 series.
Although the actor announced was Daniel. After Craig, countless 007 fans were dissatisfied for a while, but in the end, the quality and reputation of the film proved everything.
Of course, Chen Tian can't forget the sexy beauty Eva in 007. Green, remembering Eva even more. Green's screen debut, "Dreaming of Paris," and it looks like the film will be released next year.
"Eric, I don't know how to get you to recommend, to be honest I don't want to be so tired next year, my original plan was to start shooting a new movie in January.
But now, your words have touched me. Maybe I'll try to finish an action movie. ”
"Is it still a small cost?" Eric. Lomis said with a smile.
"I don't know about this, Eric. You should know that making a movie and a shoe script requires feeling. ”
"Of course, I know this, so I hope you can feel it soon."
For Eric. For Lomis, successfully getting Chen Tian to cooperate with MGM has been the most successful thing since he took office.
With the success of "Super Burger King" and "Hard Fruit Candy", he is full of expectations for "Little Sunshine Beauty" and wants more.
And 007 is the real highlight of MGM, even though the production rights don't belong to MGM.
But MGM owns the copyright, and he naturally wants to get the heavyweight work 007.
He has a good relationship with Chen Tian and has an inexplicable confidence in Chen Tian, Chen Tian can beat others to become a 007 director.
Then he could solidify his position at MGM and even bring him one step closer.
Of course, he needs to rely on the success of 007 to stabilize his position and go further, but all this is based on the success of directing.
Therefore, he hopes that Chen Tian will complete the filming as soon as possible, and then he can better recommend Chen Tian out of Lang.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Tian rubbed his head.
The page of the newspaper on the table was just the entertainment page, and the headlines were him and Jessica. A group photo of Alba being secretly taken.
When he got up in the morning, Grandma Wang reprimanded him very unceremoniously, and only after explaining did Grandma Wang bypass him.
Edda, a small family, saw Chen Tian finish the phone call and jumped directly onto the sofa.
Now it is even cuter than when Chen Tian first met it, Chen Tian touched Edda's head, and his rest plan was drawn because of Eric. Lomis's phone was scrambled.
But in order to be able to direct 007, Chen Tian decided to fight hard.
Therefore, Chen Tian plans to advance the filming of "This Man from Earth", which was originally filmed in January next year, to November, and the filming date of "The Queen Wears Prada" will also be advanced accordingly.
Then use as much time as possible to study action movies holistically.
This will not only make you more confident in filming "League of Assassins", but also have more confidence in the competition for the director of "Casino Royale". (To be continued......)
PS: Today's hand is inflamed, it's actually okay to get up in the morning, but it's been running water, Xiao Ai didn't dare to code words, originally in addition to the hand wound recovery is OK, although because the center of the right knee is broken walking is very awkward, but it feels like it should be no problem, who knows that it rained in Xuzhou in the afternoon.
I didn't bring an umbrella, but unfortunately all the wounds that finally scabbed over were broken, and the pain was even worse, and the water coming out of the key wound told me that it looked good and was actually inflamed.
