Chapter 276: Breaking Two Records

Dressed in a well-fitting beige professional suit, with four inches of sky-high pedals, long blond hair draped like silk behind her head, and walking through the corridor of the Fox Building, which belongs to the production department, Kara Firth made no secret of her feelings, just to let everyone see that she is successful, she is very strong, and it will not be long before this department will change a female director!

It's both a matter of character and a strategy, as Carla Firth is well aware that Dave Scola, whose office is on the same floor, will surely see this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She's just putting pressure on the other side, and only when the pressure is high enough will Dave Scola be able to make more moves and make more mistakes.

Passing the door of Dave Scola's office, Carla Firth walked all the way to the end of the corridor and turned into her office.

"Hello, Miss Faith."

In the room outside the suite's office, the female secretary greeted her, she could see that her boss was in a very good mood today, she followed into the office inside, Carla Firth went to the desk and sat down, took a sip of the water glass, as before, the temperature was just right.

The female secretary pulled out an A4 piece of paper from the folder, placed it on the table in front of Kara Fez, and said, "This is your itinerary for today." ”

Carla Firth picked up the schedule and looked at it, and the female secretary continued, "Director Stanton's agent, Bill Rothes, just called and asked us to continue to put pressure on the publicity department to further hype up the topic with DC. ”

"yes, I see." Carla Firth nodded, "I'll communicate with the people at CAA." ”

The phone rang suddenly, and Kara Firth glanced at it, which was the company's internal number, picked up the microphone, and said, "Hello, this is Kara Fez." ”

"It's me, Lee." The person in charge of the market research department called, "Congratulations, Kara, the first shot fired when you came to the company." ”

"Thank you." Carla Firth smiled faintly, "It's Murphy who did it well. ”

He said, "It's your good cooperation." ”

The other party seemed to have deliberately called this phone to say congratulations, and then hung up, the call seemed to be the beginning, and in the following time, the phone ringing on Carla Fez's desk rang one after another, and the heads of most departments of the company almost all called to congratulate them.

In another office not far from this office, it was deserted, the same suite office, but the secretary sitting outside felt like he was sitting in an ice cellar, and in the room of the boss, there was an extreme cold, which seemed to freeze people.

She sat quietly, never going into the office without a call, no one wanted to be someone else's vent.

Inside the office, Dave Scola didn't have any expression on his face, because he knew very well that he was probably going to face a strong competition from a woman.

He originally knew that Carla Firth was a very strong woman, otherwise he would not have been able to get to where he is today, but the other party is just a novice in the film industry, and it is a pipe dream to squeeze him out of him to become the director of the production department.

Although Carla Firth has caused some trouble on the "Heavenly Dynasty" project, those who can make trouble may not be able to make a successful movie, and Deadpool himself is only a second-tier comic book hero, not to mention his limited influence, and the total investment of the film is only 60 million US dollars, which is really nothing.

And he also learned about a situation a few months ago, because the crew was not budgeted enough, Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth actually made a funny scene in the finale of the film to make Deadpool forget his backpack full of ammunition in the taxi, so as not to shoot a huge and expensive big scene, just replace it with some unpopular hand-to-hand combat.

He almost burst out laughing, and wanted to run up to those two guys and ask them, are you making a movie, or are you playing a family game?

The result? This so-called joke not only did not affect the reputation of the "Deadpool" movie among the audience, but became a meme on the Internet.

On the computer screen in front of Dave Scola, there was a striking audience comment, "The biggest stalk of the film is actually that Deadpool left his weapons and ammunition in the taxi in the final battle and forgot to take it, which saved the crew the cost of creating a big scene, Murphy Stanton is too witty to be admired!" ”

"Agreed!"

"Murphy Stanton is the epitome of doing big things with little money."

There was a chorus of apprehension and echo below this comment, and it seemed that all fans had been brainwashed by Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth.

Even such a way of cutting corners can be used to entertain yourself? Do fans who like "Deadpool" have a problem with their heads? Have they all been hit by pigs? Didn't get into the water without an umbrella when it rained?

Dave Scola looked puzzled, what is wrong with this market? Is this still not the North American film market I know?

He closed the page to reveal the official blog of the Los Angeles Times' entertainment section below, which was most conspicuous by the box office statistics for the first day of the weekend.

Even if it is suspected that the audience has a problem with their heads and is in the water, it is an indisputable fact that they paid for "Deadpool".

"< Deadpool" topped the North American Friday box office, breaking the single-day box office record on Friday in April and the first-day opening record for films in North America in April!"

On just one day of release, Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth teamed up to break two North American film history records!

It is impossible for the company's top management to turn a blind eye to this, and these will become the competitive capital of Kara Fez!

The following is a specific box office description, Dave Scola didn't want to watch it, but he suppressed the boredom in his heart and forced himself to watch it, only by knowing his competitors well enough can he be invincible.

The R-rated superhero film "Deadpool", directed by Murphy Stanton, a young director with a distinctive personal style and produced by Twentieth Century Fox, finally ushered in a heavyweight masterpiece this weekend, and easily won $7.52 million in Thursday's early screening, and then another $20.08 million in one day on Friday. Comfortably chipped $27.6 million at the box office on its opening day, becoming the new holder of the April Friday box office record and breaking the North American film market's first-day opening record for April......

This number makes Dave Scola feel glaring, because it's only a one-day box office, and it's Friday, and it's usually going to go up on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Times also made a prediction below, and those numbers are no longer dazzling, but heart-wrenching!

"By the end of the weekend, Deadpool is on track to make $75 million, which is well above 20th Century Fox's $30 million to $45 million estimate."

This estimate is almost as close to the box office of the first week of "X-Men 2", you must know that "X-Men 2" is the sequel to the blockbuster series, and "Deadpool" did not have any fan base before!

Dave Scola's biggest hope is that the box office of "Deadpool" will plummet today Saturday, and he will play a joke of opening high and going low.

But the following statistics make it clear to him that this so-called hope is just a delusion, Murphy Stanton has entered Hollywood until now, which film is not the audience reputation and professional reputation at the same time?

"Deadpool" has a strong reputation at the box office, with a Cinemascore of A+ and a whopping 86 percent freshness on Rotten Tomatoes. With the escort of word of mouth, the future box office of the little cheap will continue to rise......"

It will continue to go higher! It will continue to rise......

This line of words is like a knife, through Dave Scola's eyes, deeply engraved into his mind, it doesn't matter what the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is, the important thing is that CinemaScore gives an A+ live audience rating, which almost means that "Deadpool" will not only go high this weekend, but probably full of stamina!

Dave Scola unconsciously churned in his heart, the North American box office of "Deadpool" will definitely not be $150 million! How much would that be? $200 million? Or...... Higher?

Unlike before, at this moment, Dave Scola deeply felt threatened, a film success is nothing, what if Carla Firth succeeds in a row? will inevitably threaten their position.

His gaze on the computer screen ended up on the name Murphy Stanton, and with his help, the chances of Carla Firth continuing to succeed are very high.

Dave Scola closed his eyes, and Murphy Stanton's resume appeared in his mind very clearly, this young director, who is just twenty-four, has not only directed every film that has sold well since he entered Hollywood, but also exchanged for super high returns at a relatively low cost.

Carla Firth has the help of Murphy Stanton......

"It's not without its benefits that 'Deadpool' was a big hit," Dave Scola turned off his computer, "at least it made me see where Kara Firth is strongest, and where the deadliest is located." ”

"Murphy Stanton!" He curled his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, "Murphy Stanton, ah......"

As long as the duo of Carla Firth and Murphy Stanton can be dismantled, the future will certainly be very different.

Dave Scola gradually regained his self-confidence, "A film is just a success, as long as I can continue to be successful, the director position is still mine!" ”

He turned his head slightly to look at the wall on one side of his office, where it was an elaborate poster of Orlando Bloom and Eva Green dressed in the Middle Ages.

Although there is no super production led by him this year, there will be a giant production like "Heavenly Dynasty" next year, which is bound to win back a city.

"In case of accidents," Dave Scola also made a decision, "I'm going to get further involved in the production." (To be continued.) )
