Chapter 103: The Cowardly Di Mouse, Two Little Things
"Whew...... It's a good thing that those guys at Sony know how to make faces. ”
"Really? How do I think Steven is protecting Roland strongly? ”
"Okay, okay, no matter what, Roland is not the main force of publicity, our movie can be released on time."
"Then ...... Laying the film as previously planned? ”
"Yes, the time remains the same, it's November 15th."
Just when Roland shared the finalization of the character setting of "Jurassic Park" with his family, the office of Broadway Pictures was still brightly lit, as Walt Disney's distribution business headquarters, on their desks was the poster of "Captain Hook" issued by Sony Columbia Pictures.
If you look closely, the Roland Allen on each version of the poster is marked with a red pen by these guys, and nearly 20 versions of the poster are spread out directly like Magic.
According to common sense, as an animation company that wants to develop a live-action film business, Disney has nothing to do with Roland Allen no matter what, but now, as soon as the promotional poster of "Captain Hook" was laid, these guys were like rats seeing cats, vigilantly collecting all the news related to Roland on the market.
Why, no other.
It's purely Roland now, and it's a fire in the special code!
Sony's foreign customer, it's too special and shameless!
And when the two of them are added together, Disney is almost out of food!
If the normal rhythm of publicity is followed, the publicity focus of the movie "Captain Hook" should focus on director Steven Spielberg, starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and heroine Julia Roberts.
With the four of them here, they are not afraid of "Assassination of JFK", "The Addams Family", "Star Trek 6: Future War", "The Ultimate Pioneer", "New Father-in-law" in the same period...... If they can't afford to tie them together, then Sony can find a noodle for these guys and let them hang themselves.
But the problem is that there are so many movie market shares every year!
Market share has always been linked to per capita income and consumption patterns, and the quality of movies can affect the overall market, but the role is extremely small.
Using Roland, the guy who made a cameo, to promote it is also a way that capitalists like Sony came up with, if it weren't for Spielberg to stop him, the parentheses on the poster would not be a cameo, but a special appearance.
Don't doubt the discipline of these capitalists, the fact that the supporting roles are cut into the protagonists, that is everywhere.
Andy in "Chasing the Dragon", and Xing Ye in "Lucky Dragon", they have all been pitted by the same person.
As for whether this kind of bad money behavior will affect the actors?
It's their investor's business! They don't act!
To put it mildly, if it weren't for Spielberg's pressure, Roland might have been pitted by Sony, who wanted to expand the market crazily, but now, even if Sony is not shameless, they still rely on Roland's global exposure to take advantage of the east wind, wanting to earn more box office through Roland's influence among children.
What kind of propaganda slogan is 'looking for Roland', but it really doesn't want to beep face.
And the poster created for Roland alone has no lower limit-
If even the actors of the 'three-second' shot can be mixed with the posters, then there are hundreds of guys who can promote a movie!
Of course, Sony's emphasis on Roland is actually a reflection of his value.
But as they did this, they directly worried about the Disney next door!
Last year, when Disney was on the animated movie "Little Heroes", "Home Alone" came out, and they were beaten to the ground! A small-budget animated movie has not even returned to the book, which shows how ruthless Roland Allen is!
And what about this year?
In the previous summer, in order to avoid "Terminator 2", they Disney directly withdrew "Beauty and the Beast"!
At that time, their opponent seemed to be a combination of James Cameron + Arnold Schwarzenegger + Roland Allen on the surface, but it could really make an impact on them! Isn't it still Roland Allen, who has the same fanbase as Disney?
Although Perelman's presence is also one of the main factors, not wanting to be hit by Roland's movies is a blue nose and swollen face, which is also the key to Disney's change of schedule! But the question is-
Lao Tzu's special code has been postponed and changed for four months, and it turned out to collide with you, a little rabbit cub?
This special code doesn't let people pass!
Disney does know that Spielberg's "Captain Hook" will be released at the end of this year.
But they also know that "Captain Hook" is not a fairy tale movie for children at all.
And under their estimates, as the popularity of "Terminator 2" subsides, Roland, who made a cameo appearance in "Captain Hook", should not be the key to publicity, but now? The ghost knows that he actually rubbed a wave in MJ's MV?
This kind of global hard wide laying is at least tens of millions at a time!
How is it that for Roland, this thing is like no money, and he can do it if he wants?
When Disney heard the news that Roland's code was exposed again, Bowei Pictures, which was responsible for the promotion and distribution of "Beauty and the Beast", was actually numb, they really didn't want to fight with the guy who harvested 10 million box office in three days, they just wanted to cheat the box office!
And just when they were wondering whether to change the schedule for "Beauty and the Beast" for the second time.
The poster printed by Sony made them breathe a sigh of relief......
'It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Sony's bunch didn't make Roland the main propaganda ......
'It seems that Steven Spielberg has a very good relationship with our chairman!' Leaves us with a way to live......'
'If you change the schedule, this movie really can't be done!' Hurry up and spread this movie! ’
Yes, with the explosion of the two movies, Roland's global personal cumulative box office has reached 700 million ("Terminator 2" is too slow), in this case, Disney, which eats by harvesting the children's six money bags, doesn't want to bump into him at all!
Or, in other words, none of the current Eight National Congress wants to put their movies in the same schedule as him!
The meaning of the eight major existences is to make money, and children's money is often the best to cheat!
Once a child tells his parents that he wants to go to see Roland's movie, the guy who is the same as him will sell a fart ticket!
After all, everyone's time is limited! Energy is also limited! The screen cake is even more limited!
…………
Of course, what Disney feared because of himself, Roland didn't know.
Even if he knew, it wouldn't be the same.
Even if it is the age of the Internet, Roland will not open a trumpet and post a comment because of this matter.
Like Sister Shi who put the engagement ring directly in front of the camera?
Isn't this trying to deliberately blind the eyes of the people who eat melons?
Compared with those major film companies that regard Roland as a box office leader and think that the movie "Captain Hook" has the potential to kill all audiences, Roland feels that even if Sony rubs its popularity, the box office is quite worrisome.
In a previous life, how did this adult version of Peter Pan sell into the top five in the world?
Isn't it the popularity of the main creative team?
Although the whole movie is under the banner of fairy tales, it is not child-friendly at all.
Because they have no life experience, they can't understand it at all.
And the former children who already have life experience, many of them are being dragged down by life!
Want to let them go into the theater and relive the good things?
That can only rely on the personal charm of the main creative team!
What's more-
Some of the shots were taken by him.
Even if Spielberg thinks it can be used, Roland still doesn't have much confidence in his craft.
Before he saw the finished film, the devil knew what he had done.
…………
When Bowei Pictures was crazy about printing posters, trying to release "Beauty and the Beast" before "Captain Hook", and defrauding children of money in their pockets, Roland, who had just finalized the "Jurassic Park" project, was 'invited' by Fox again.
After he finished reading the script of "Home Alone 2" written by John Hughes and collectively approved by the Fox Green Light Committee.
He was amazed by the process of industrializing Hollywood's scripts.
Sure enough, the ability to make a sequel and cheat money is their strength!
How to play the same stalk into a different feeling is the real skill of these screenwriters.
To put it bluntly, they are just catching a sheep and killing it, and when the sheep is bald, then put it to cool down and wait for the restart!
Although Roland did not like this kind of work without new ideas, he would not refuse money with high prices.
What kind of literary film with a wider depth is being pursued?
When the commercial film you make can be liked by everyone, it will be a literary film that can be included in the palace!
"I think it's okay, when will you shoot?"
"This book is given to me, and in the next time, I will only prepare this movie."
"Don't worry, I still have the work ethic."
"Although I have a few notebooks in my hand, if I mess around, Steven will definitely knock me on the head."
The market law of movies is actually that those who win business win the world.
Oscar-winning actor?
Without commercial appeal, you can't get into the front line.
Only those who can slap the table and ask for dividends from the management are predators at the top of the food chain, and even they dare not guarantee that they can bring the box office of every movie.
No matter who it is, they can only say that they work hard to make every movie.
Nicolas Cage has indeed changed from an actor to the king of bad movies, but he is still playing every one of his books.
Regardless of whether the movie is bad or not, he is worthy of every penny he takes.
Teeth should be extracted, and rotten stinky cockroaches should be swallowed raw.
And Johnny Depp is the same, the producer wants him to change his gold teeth?
Just change it.
When talking about salary, they can be the biggest, but when they are filming, they can shoot how they want.
Roland, who understands all this, naturally knows what to do, "Home Alone 2" may be a big commercial film?
So what!
Since you have taken it, let's shoot it well!
As for eleven plays a year?
He really couldn't do that.
And when Roland stuffed the closed script into his bag, the owner of Fox, who received an affirmative answer, smiled, ""Captain Hook" premiered in Los Angeles on December 8, so our movie is scheduled to start on the 10th. ”
"You can rest assured, your main creative team will take a special plane to go over, and you don't have to worry about the travel time."
Compared with Disney, who doesn't want to collide with Roland, Fox is actually a good person.
Roland has box office influence and background, so he is the uncle.
As long as he can shoot well, let alone cooperate with his activities, he will have a boot time, even if he uses a special plane to pick him up, there is no problem!
As long as you can make money, then everyone is a brother!
And if you can't make money......
At least they won't worry about this kind of thing now.
Seven hundred million in two movies!
Roland may hit the world's youngest billion-dollar gentleman!
Compared with the water box office of those extras, how could he, who has always been the protagonist, collapse easily?
As for transformation?
At least four of the top 10 works in the global box office list every year are the projects of their Jewish gang!
With this kind of yield rate, if he doesn't take off, who else can fly?
…………
After Roland successively disposed of the two projects of "Jurassic Park" and "Home Alone 2", seeing that the time was about the same, he pretended to make a phone call to the truck driver.
However, when he opened his mouth to ask, where was the other party.
This divorced guy very unceremoniously told Roland that he was earning money in New York.
To be honest, Roland really wanted to make up a story for David before, but now-
When there is no village and no store in the past, what can a truck driver do when he goes to New York?
The point is that people also told him very happily that he has been frequenting Perelman's securities company recently.
Well, hearing him say this, Roland also understood where he got the hundreds of millions of dollars this guy spent on building submarines in the future.
Every divorce has to give tens of millions! Even Spielberg can't afford him to lose so much!
And when Cameron hinted at him, everything was easy.
Worried about being hated?
Then let the money go out of Perelman's bank!
After learning about Perelman's attitude that he didn't care about at the moment through the truck driver, Roland gave David their address in New York, and since some things are not easy to say, then leave them to the knowledgeable guys!
"Are you sure to take out a mortgage with a Home Alone 2 pay contract and shares in Berkshire Hathaway?"
Although his tone was full of doubt, David's glance was extremely calm.
"Of course, don't play too big, just enough to spend." Roland nodded affirmatively.
"Ok, I understand......" After receiving an affirmative answer, David put his things away directly, and at the same time, he said: "I can go and help you with these things, but I won't follow ......"
David is a very steady guy.
From his behavior of preferring to make less money and keep his daughter and Roland's various authorizations, we can get a glimpse of one or two.
Roland also understands that even if he and the other party say that the woolly bear will disintegrate, he will not believe it, since this is the case......
Then let him do it alone.
"No problem David, it's okay if you don't do it."
"If I lose, I still have to rely on you to support me."
Roland's mischievous tone made David shake his head, sneered, and said, "Forget it......"
"You're like your dad, you have a lot of ideas."
"He also likes to gamble, but he only won once, and that was after your mother."
"As for you...... I wish you a win this time. ”
"Really? So what if I lose? Roland picked up a fountain pen from the pen holder and turned it directly with his fingers.
"Lost?"
"Then I can only close the company for you and stop the loss in time."
"But the corresponding debts still have to be borne."
"Looking at your 10 million salary, you have to shoot five dramas first, right?"
"I wish you a long time."
"Oh, good, thank you......"
When David said this, Roland was relieved.
Although he understands that there are truck drivers and financiers with big bald heads, and he can't lose when he has returned the history of the world to his teacher, it is still excellent to have David to help him with it.
And he also discovered that rich people are really more successful than ordinary people.
Because they have more opportunities to do it again than ordinary people.
"So, when are you leaving?"
"Arrange the things in the company first, leave on the 5th, and come back on the 10th."
"What? Aren't you just not going to the premiere? ”
"Yes, I don't like the red carpet, it's a good thing for me not to have fun......
"It's decided?"
"Of course!"
Since David answered in such a certainty, Roland would not have pressed it.
With the finalization of the matter of picking up bear hair, all the trivial things on Roland's hands have been cleaned up.
It took 58 days to find the sense of interpretation and write a short biography of the characters.
After he had made all the preparations for the shoot, he also received a call from Mohami.
When the other party told Roland that he had received Cole Nedham, Roland decisively took a day to go to Silicon Valley to meet him, and after handing over the invitation to them, the time quietly came to December 8, when "Captain Hook" was released.
