The last set of shots was not difficult at all, and more than ten minutes later, amid the cheers and celebrations of everyone on the set, the cave captivity scene of "Iron Man" came to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With an assistant director in charge of the finishing touches, Joss Whedon approached Eric, who had just removed his mark1 armor, and asked, "Eric, I'm going to check all the footage from this time tomorrow, do you want to come along?"

When filming for "Iron Man" first began, Joss Whedon was worried that Eric would interfere too much in the production of the film.

However, in the past half a month, he has completely lost any scruples in this regard. Even the occasional pointer from Eric during the filming process benefited him as a rookie director for the first time in a big-budget film, and Joss Whedon now sincerely hopes to get more advice from Eric.

Once the scene in the cave is filmed, the set in the studio will soon be removed to make room for other films.

Therefore, it would be very troublesome to reshoot this part of the scene once it was necessary to reshoot, and Eric naturally wanted to make sure that nothing was lost, although tomorrow was Sunday, and Eric did not hesitate to agree when he heard Joss Whedon's invitation.

The film's core creators got together again to discuss next week's shooting schedule, and Eric left the studio.

Noticing that he didn't see Miranda Kerr until he left the studio, Eric asked the two Caroline girls who were following him, "Haven't you come back yet?"

Caroline shook her head, "No, I called ten minutes ago, and Carter said they were planning to rush back and should take off now." ”

Today's shooting ended relatively early, it was not yet five o'clock, and Eric was not in a hurry, nodding, and walked to the office of his administrative district, intending to deal with some companies in a timely manner.

Eric walked into the office and just turned on the computer, Caroline quickly knocked on the door and handed him a folder: "Eric, this is what you ordered on Friday, the list of movies to be released on the Easter schedule, and the details of the films and marketing plans of Firefly, MGM and Fox are also included." ”

In the face of increasingly crowded summer and New Year's schedules, Eric has started the idea of developing new popular schedules since last year, in addition to gradually expanding the release cycle of summer and Spring Festival stalls, he first focused on Easter.

The 'Reald' and '4200' plans to promote 3D and IMAX films will be implemented by the end of next year.

At that time, there will be no shortage of 3D and IMAX film sources for the New Year's file, and there are currently two parts of "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings" that have been confirmed, but only a few 3D and IMAX film sources for the New Year's file will obviously not be able to support the summer file.

As a result, Firefly had to release at least two more 3D and IMAX films in the six months between the end of the year and the summer to ensure that the 4,000 3D screens and the 200 IMAX screens would not be bogged down by a lack of film contracts. In the six months between the New Year and the summer season, the Easter schedule is undoubtedly the best time to launch new film sources.

Easter is the time for American students to break for spring, and teenagers happen to be the most receptive to the new film screening model.

Speaking of which, the Easter schedule has always existed, and Hollywood releases quite a few films during Easter every year.

It's just that in the past, the attitude of all film companies towards the Easter schedule was only to take advantage of the student holidays to make more or less money, and it would be better if one or two box office dark horses could be released. Since it has not been taken too seriously, there have been no big-budget movies released during the Easter schedule.

Once the '4200' plan is implemented, the situation will be different.

Since we are still in the age of film, the cost of making a film copy varies from $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the length of time.

The cost of making a single copy is not high, but multiplying this number by two or three thousand makes the cost very large.

Distributing a film with just a few thousand copies of film costs millions of dollars, and a 3D film in dual-camera mode doubles the cost, and the expensive IMAX film film costs ten times as much as a regular film.

Films released in 3D and IMAX modes can cost more than $10 million just to make copies. In the current situation, it is not necessary for a low- to medium-budget film with a budget of less than $50 million to enter the 4,200 theaters in Eric's plan, so the 3D and IMAX films that will take over the first installments of "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings" during Easter 2000 two years later will only be big productions.

In order to ensure that the Easter schedule film does not fail by then, Eric intends to cultivate the concept of the Easter schedule with great fanfare from this year onwards.

Of course, this process is probably not too complicated, just like the later cultivation of shopping carnivals such as Singles' Day or Black Friday. It is nothing more than improving the quality of the films released during Easter and increasing promotional and marketing efforts to attract more audiences to cinemas.

In terms of information in hand, MGM's film that MGM intends to focus on during Easter is "Xenomorph", which is a medium-budget production with a production cost of $35 million.

Speaking of which, the heroine of this sci-fi horror film was originally supposed to be Natasha Hensquich, who debuted as a model at the age of 14, and Natasha Hensquiech, who also became a member of the Victoria's Secret Army.

Eric heard the girl talk about the audition for this movie last year, but he didn't interfere, and in the end, the heroine of the film was in the corner of another very beautiful actress in Hollywood, Heather Graham, who also had a very good performance in the new line's "Unruly Night" last year.

When "Iron Man" was cast, Eric directly assigned the role of "Vanity Fair" female reporter Kristen Everhart to the Victoria's Secret Army. Linda Ivan Golinsta was secretly nicknamed Jealous-Daddy because of Eric's ban on not allowing Victoria's Secret Angel to fall in love with Little Plum, which is still true.

Since he has created the Victoria's Secret Army himself, Eric never minds holding his group of beautiful babies higher. Of course, this is not without its benefits, and the higher Eric holds up the Victoria's Secret legion, the more influential he will be in the fashion industry.

Natasha Hensquich didn't get the role of "Xenomorph", and after Eric released the spot, he saw Natasha Hensquich participating in the audition, so he gave her the role.

Perhaps with a bit of gambling, because she was very unoptimistic about the prospects of "Ace Cheap Spy 2", Elizabeth took out this nonsensical spoof comedy as Fox's main film in the Easter schedule.

Finally, there is a romantic comedy by New Line, called "The Wedding Singer", and the actor is Adam Sandler.

If you compare the budget, the new line's "Wedding Singer" is the lowest of the three films, with a production cost of only $18 million, which is about half of the production cost of "Xenomorph", and it is also not comparable to the production cost of "Ace Spy 2" of $30 million.

However, among these three movies, Eric is actually most optimistic about "The Wedding Singer".

Because he happens to remember this movie, in the original time and space, the heroine of this movie is Drew. Although he doesn't know the specific box office of "The Wedding Singer", Eric knows that the film means about the same thing to Adam Sandler as Jim Carrey's famous "Dumb and Dumb".

This time the girl will definitely not be involved in this low-budget romantic comedy, but the heroine who replaces the girl is Aniston, which is naturally the result of Eric's intervention. After reconciling with Aniston last year, Eric happened to see that the new line was choosing a heroine for this romantic comedy, so he asked Chick to try it, "Friends" has entered the retraction stage, and now it is time for Aniston to develop into the film industry.

As for the actor Adam Sandler, he has been a writer and actor on "Saturday Night Live" since the early 90s, and as a resident actor on the longest-lived variety entertainment show in North America, Adam Sandler has become a household name in the United States.

A lot of people often mix up Adam Sandler with Ben Stiller's Rotten Boys. But in reality, Adam Sandler is not a member of the Rotten Boys, but a family of his own, with a very obvious personal style. The members of the Rotten Boys focus on vulgar comedies with no lower limit, while Adam Sandler prefers more heartwarming nonsensical romantic comedies.

Of course, as a star who often dominates Hollywood's low-return charts in memory, Eric's mentality towards Adam Sandler is similar to that of Jim Carrey, or worse than Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey still has international box office appeal, but Adam Sandler's comedies, like the Rotten Boys dramas, are limited to North America for the most part.

Therefore, he probably worked with Adam Sandler on a few films, and once the other party's salary and project production budget exceeded the range of Firefly's acceptance, Eric did not plan to work with the other party again. After all, Firefly has no shortage of projects, and at the same time, comedy movies are actually very risky, and once they become big productions, the probability of losing money becomes very high, which is why Adam Sandler often tops the low return charts.

Even if the box office is good, the profits are estimated to go largely to stars like Adam Sandler, and studios often just make hard-earned money.

The three movies, "Xeno", "Ace Spy 2" and "Wedding Singer", although they have not yet met Eric's expectations, are enough to support this Easter schedule.

Eric was hoping to cram a big-budget movie in, but on the one hand, after several years of explosion, the big-budget projects in Firefly's hands are all in the development stage, and they have entered a low period, and if they want to do so, they can only wait until next year at the earliest. On the other hand, whether it is MGM or Fox, although they have a few big-budget films that can be arranged for the Easter schedule, with the production scale of these two companies, the projects they have are not even enough to fill the summer and New Year schedules, and it is impossible for Eric to ask the two companies to give up the popular schedule and run to be cannon fodder for expanding the map.

After reading the information in his hand, Eric picked up the phone again and called Elizabeth and the others to discuss, until Caroline knocked on the door again and told Eric that the helicopter had returned, and Eric packed his things and prepared to go home from work.

Leaving the office building, Eric made his way to the helipad, only to see a group of seven or eight girls gathered around Miranda Kerr, and none of them had left.

These girls are basically about the same age as Miranda, and since they are all children of the wealthy neighborhood of Beverly High School, they are all dressed in casual clothes for spring outings, simple shirts and jeans, and many of them are also tied in ponytails, looking youthful and invincible.

Noticing Eric's appearance, seven or eight girls immediately let out a scream of surprise and came over one after another.

"Wow, it's Eric. ”

"I thought Miranda was lying to us. ”

"Eric, can you sign us?"

“……”

Twitter, Twitter.

Eric's head was a little bigger.

He never disliked being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, but his least favorite was too noisy girls.

As if sensing Eric's dislike, the girls gradually quieted down, but they still boldly gathered around Eric, and asked Eric if they could invite them to the Sharp Corner Manor to see the Shell Villa.

Eric was coping, but Miranda was already holding another girl in her arms.

Eric was dissatisfied with this Nizi's self-inflicted assertions, and when he saw the appearance of the girl who was with Miranda, his expression suddenly looked very surprised.

The girl is not too tall, compared to Miranda, who has grown to 1.7 meters, she is just over Miranda's shoulders. He has long blonde hair, and his face is not stunning, but very green, and there is a small mole on the right cheek.

Noticing Eric looking at her, the girl looked a little nervous in her eyes, but quickly took the initiative to come over and introduce herself: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Miranda's classmate, my name is Scarlett, Scarlett Johansson. ”

Eric didn't expect to meet the former Black Widow here, but he didn't feel too strange, Scarlett Johansson had debuted a few years ago, and Eric had seen this girl in several films, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, Eric has found from various movies over the years that there are too many actors who will be very famous in the future but are still unknown, as long as these people have nothing to do with him, Eric generally does not give each other any special attention. (To be continued.) )
