Chapter 1047: A Joke with the World (3)

Cheng Xiaoyu is still doing viral marketing for "Midnight Bell: Ghost Shadow Record" through his "whispers", and on February 23, his "pseudo-documentary" will be broadcast in more than 200 art theaters and some theaters of AMC, the latter is naturally the welfare that Xu Qinning helped him win.

As soon as the Valentine's Day schedule passed, "The Grim Reaper Came" finally dropped from the first place in the weekly rankings to the second place, and the first place was the newly released "Little Things in the Big City" starring Ben Connelly and Jennifer Johnson.

As for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", it has fallen to seventh place, because of the bad reputation of "IMDB" and "Rotten Tomatoes", the film is obviously lacking in stamina, and now Sony can only hope that the overseas market can make the film a little more money.

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" is not a problem to keep the capital, but the income is not high, which is also called "Sony" is a little disappointed in Peter Copra, originally they had high hopes for this movie, and specially invited Douglas and Catherine, gave Peter Copra the cast he was looking forward to, and also gave him enough budget, but the result was regrettable, I didn't expect that even a small-budget "Death is Coming" could not be frontal.

The direct consequence of this is that the A-grade film "Jedi Knight 4", which was originally scheduled to be directed by him, has to change its director, and at this moment, Peter Koppura is sitting in the office of Tommy Stringer, the president of Sony Pictures, and has to face this fact that he can't accept.

Tommy Stringer sat in the boss's chair and said, "Peter, you have to understand the company, we haven't had a good time lately. We've been going downhill since the end of last year, and in the second half of last year, we released a total of 4 movies, and you know, Future Men 3 didn't do very well at the box office, and now our market share in North America has dropped to 3.8%. And the latest bad news is that the movie "007" series that we have relied on for all these years may also be leaving us...... MGM, which owns the franchise to the 007 franchise, is ready to kick us off and throw us into the arms of Universal..... So Jedi Knight 4 is not to be missed for us. ”

Peter Koppura smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Tommy, this Justin Bieber is so weird, I didn't expect this..... And I think that as long as the publicity is increased, the overseas box office will definitely have a good income, that Chinese kid is just lucky, and the promotion of 'Universal' is a bit powerful this time....."

Tommy Stringer shook his head and interrupted Peter Kopla's defense and said: "Peter, it's useless to say anything now, it's not my decision alone, you have to forgive me, you have a good rest for a while, go to Hawaii for a vacation, relax, we have a suitable movie and will notify you as soon as possible." ”

Peter Copra knew that the general trend had gone, so he could only stand up helplessly, he deeply knew the reality of Hollywood, everyone in this industry is eyeing each other, this is a place with a very low margin for error, one or two mistakes, it is almost impossible to make a comeback.

This unsatisfactory box office means that it will be difficult for him to shoot Hollywood A-level films in the future, and his salary will plummet, so he can only return to the production of small-budget films, unless he gets a box office miracle like Cheng Xiaoyu, whom he hates, otherwise it will be difficult for him to return to the position of a first-line director.

As for the failure of Cheng Xiaoyu this time, Peter Kopla has nothing to regret, all directors are competing with each other, although the global market is large enough, but it can only accommodate so many first-line directors, except for a few top directors who can sit back and relax, others are in danger of being replaced by rising stars at any time.

Peter Kopla walked out of the door of Sony Pictures with a depressed face, he turned his head to look at the small building in "Xichu", and secretly vowed in his heart that one day he would trample Cheng Xiaoyu under his feet.

He doesn't think that this day will be far away, because Peter Koppura has already known through the media that Cheng Xiaoyu's $400 million investment will be shot with dual lenses, and there will be three versions, film, IMax and 3D, which makes him feel that Cheng Xiaoyu will not be beautiful for long, and sooner or later it will become a Hollywood joke, and then it will be time for him to humiliate this Chinese boy.

There are definitely not a few people who have such ideas, and "Hollywood Observer" has opened a column for Cheng Xiaoyu's "$400 million movie", and every weekend, this column will report how much Cheng Xiaoyu's "$400 million" has been used and where it is used.

It was also reported that "Xichu Film" had signed a contract with the Monterrey County Government to purchase 120 hectares of seaside land to build an exclusive studio, which alone cost 20 million US dollars, not including taxes.

also analyzed that according to Cheng Xiaoyu's spending speed and his ambition to shoot three versions, the budget of 400 million may not be enough at all, and maybe this time next year, Cheng Xiaoyu will have to sell his mansion so that the movie can continue to shoot.

The words were full of ridicule.

"Los Angeles Times" also reported in detail the process of Cheng Xiaoyu's dispute with a group of big directors, and finally said: Cheng Xiaoyu will definitely pay the price for his radicalization, although he said that he wants to open the door to 3D and IMAX for his predecessors, but we all know that this door is not so easy to open. Let's wait and see what kind of answer this amazing boy from Huaxia can hand over in the end.

In the midst of doubts, Konstantin announced an additional investment of $200 million for Cheng Xiaoyu's film, which caused an uproar in Hollywood as soon as this report came out, and even tabloids thought that this was a conspiracy of red capital to subvert the United States.

However, none of this can interfere with Cheng Xiaoyu's methodical preparations for the filming of "Titanic", after holding a grand party in his mansion, most of the masters he wanted to invite chose to join Cheng Xiaoyu's team under the mediation of Xu Qinning.

Originally, the filming period of "Titanic" was as long as five years, mainly because the preparation work in the early stage took too much time, and in order to want a real "Titanic", the study of this ship was too long.

In fact, it was only 2 years from Cameron's preparation to the release of the film.

There is no problem with Cheng Xiaoyu here, he doesn't need to study too much at all, as long as he takes "Titanic" and uses it, so the cycle can be greatly shortened, and it is expected to be released at the end of next year.

At this time, Cheng Xiaoyu was in the North Atlantic, about 400 miles away from Newfoundland, Canada, and he contacted the Russian Academy of Sciences through Konstantin, picked up two deep-sea submarines with self-moving capabilities, and personally went to the resting place of the Titanic 2.5 miles below sea level to explore.

At the same time, his pseudo-documentary "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow" was also officially released in North America and China.
