42 million in the opening weekend, 78 million in the opening week, and 200 million at the North American box office, what level is this?

Cry wolf!!!

Although compared with the situation of breaking 100 million on the same day, breaking 100 million in more than 100 hours, and breaking 100 million in pre-sales in the future, the result of 78 million in seven days is not enough to see, but ...... This was the film market more than 20 years ago!

The number of theaters and screens alone cannot be compared!

In this era when 30 million can win the championship in three days on the first weekend, and there are still 10 million movies on the annual box office list, "HA2" has refreshed everyone's cognition! It also broke through the lower limit of countless people!

"The Bodyguard", which was released at the same time, made the investor Warner jump straight to his feet!

It's not that the box office is too outrageous!

It's that the fans are too fanatical!

In the case that sixty percent of film critics in the market are criticizing and angry, "HA2" directly refreshed the box office record in the first week?

Doesn't that mean one thing?

The film critics who were once served by the film company and regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the practitioners who could decide the fate of a movie with a flick of their fingers did not work at all for Roland Allen!

What does this mean?

This means that his basic disc is far more terrifying than the 10 million shown in "Terminator 2"!

"No, I personally think that this is actually the influence of "Terminator 2"; Or rather, this is "Home Alone", "Terminator 2", and next year's "Jurassic Park", as well as the healthy romance that broke out before, the superposition of all things. ”

When those film critics were pressed to the ground by Roland's fans, the film companies that were supposed to make arrangements for the Olympics were all silenced, and from top to bottom, as long as they could have anything to do with the promotion of the film, they were all dragged to the meeting.

The most fierce controversy is the five, one is Fox, which is directly related to "HA2", the second is Universal, which controls the "Jurassic" project, the third is Warner, who scolds and scolds "I obviously gave you the cover of "People", but you treat me like this, the fourth is Disney, which still wants to take advantage of the delay, and the fifth, Sony who wants to gain a foothold the most......

As for Paramount?

Although it is possible to fade the skirt at any time, people are now holding back the big move of "Forrest Gump"!

Among the five, there is no project at the moment, in fact, it is Sony, and they are also the most serious one among all the discussion groups, regardless of whether it is Sony Pictures as an 'empty shell' or Columbia Samsung Pictures as a real 'film', anyway, those guys who have the right to decide on the project are all gathered together.

And the analysis report was made by the helmsmen of Columbia-Samsung Pictures, Peter Guber and Jean Peters.

"According to our analysis, the box office explosion of "HA2" has nothing to do with the movie itself, and more than 90% of the credit can be attributed to marketing - they first released the relationship, and then used Chuan Jianguo's father and daughter to say that Roland was going to film seriously, so we temporarily rejected her news, we always thought that this was Steven's excuse they thought of, but unexpectedly, it actually hinted to fans in advance that Roland is a person who is very attentive to movies."

"If it were normal, it would just be the establishment of the actor's image, but later, Chris and Robin's statements on the show emphasized this point again, so that there was a situation where both peers and 'braggart kings' felt that Roland was making movies with his heart, so no matter how the critics sprayed, people who believe in Roland will not believe them."

"Because the historical achievements of "HA" and "T2" are that people are willing to believe in Roland's capital."

And in this case, Steven and his "Jurassic" are also strong evidence, if Roland has a problem, will Steven use him twice in a row? Obviously impossible, which is the key to the untenable reviews of film critics. ”

"Of course, there is another key, that is, the film critics sprayed too much, "HA2" may not reach eight points, but there are still seven points, and the worst will not be lower than the passing line, but in the mouth of the film critics, this is a zero-score movie, plus the public psychology is clear, this movie is for children, families, and people, and they don't have much depth of expectations for the movie itself, so the harder the critics scold, the more disgusted they are, and they will feel that it is precisely because of the existence of these film critics, The things that really entertain the public will be so ......"

"Because no one wants to offend them, the award is too high......"

For the producers, making a movie is actually solving equations, regardless of whether it is the Big Six or the Big Eight, their green light committee is full of math masters, and the scripts reviewed by them are not completely blockbusters, but they are certainly much better than shooting by chance, but the problem is that the real hits rarely come from them.

There is no blank market in Hollywood, behind every excellent movie, there are several movies that are as good as it, or even better than it, but why does the market choose the current top brand? And not better movies? Although many people attribute this situation to luck, the question is, why does this luck linger in one person?

They prefer to believe that they can't grasp the connotation, which is also the reason why every time there is a hit, they will analyze it, but - after they listen to this kind of paper analysis a lot, they will also find a problem -

Why is all success related to them?

"Then I want to know, since you can analyze the success of HA2, can you replicate it?"

When Peter Cooper and Jean Peters trumpeted Fox's successful marketing and put all the credit on the outside world, the Japanese, who were sitting on the sidelines and listened with their heads down, slowly raised their heads.

"As far as I know, since the birth of Hollywood, there are only three guys who can make fans so crazy."

"George who created Star Wars, Steven who created Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Roland who built HA."

"Now as long as George releases the news that he is going to make a movie of "SW" again, all film companies, including us, will give a budget of at least 100 million, and Steven is the same, Paramount is willing to cut all existing projects and replace "Indiana Jones" - since you want to analyze the success of "HA2", can't you see that Roland is not the only one behind the box office explosion? And the guy who is with him can keep replicating what you call success......"

As soon as these words came out, Peter Coober and Jean Peterston, who were still speaking excitedly, turned black.

It's not that they can't find George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, it's that they don't want to mention the Jewish gang at all!

In the year Sony bought Columbia Pictures, Sony founder Akio Morita emphasized that this was not a cultural invasion, they would use local talent to manage the local business, and Peter Guber and Jean Peters, who had made blockbuster movies for Warner, were chosen by them, but the problem was that these two would only flatter themselves and were laymen in the business.

You must know that when Spielberg was filming "The Color Purple", he deliberately communicated with Warner in advance, if these two dared to enter the studio half a step while he was filming, then the project could be aborted!

In the case that guys like Spielberg have to be guarded strictly, you can know how good the De buff on their bodies is, and when they know that behind the "HA" series, there is a shadow of the Jewish gang, these two guys will not talk to Nobuyuki Idei about each other anyway!

That's right, the guy listening in the Sony conference room is Nobuyuki Idei, who will become the president of Sony in the future, and the reason why he came here when the founder Akio Morita emphasized autonomy is naturally not for the "HA" series, but for Roland Allen, who has a surprising fixed disk behind him, and Spielberg, who has long proposed the way of copyright trading.

Since the day of the fight, Roland drew a cake to the other party that could not be cheapened, and the transaction has begun to be negotiated.

Sony was not surprised by Spielberg's idea of exchanging game rights for shares in global distribution companies, because this would mean a deep binding!

After three consecutive years of losses, Sony has been trying to find a way to make the film company profitable, and now, since the other party is willing to get involved in the film project, if they refuse, wouldn't it be the opportunity to make money outside?

But in the process of negotiation, they encountered a little problem!

Uh, well, fingertip universe......

Sony is willing to sell shares in the global distribution company to Spielberg, but they also hope that they can get the investment rights to Spielberg's next five films, and not only that, but they also want to tie Roland in the blatant misappropriation of filming funds and apprentices in "Captain Hook" and "Jurassic Park"!

According to the results of the meeting of Sony's headquarters, the operating capacity of global distribution companies is maintained through blockbuster movies, and instead of investing in those bad movies, film companies should invest money in Spielberg and Roland Allen's movies, investing in them, than investing in other projects, insurance is too much......

The above are all spoken, and the tone of cooperation is naturally set.

But the problem is, just as they were researching how much Spielberg's global distribution company shares should be sold, and how much to price the game rights of "Jurassic Park", and then asking for how much investment in Spielberg and Roland's films, and how much cash they want......ed, "HA2" exploded out of time!

It's embarrassing!

Originally, according to their ideas, Roland's box office influence was made into 40% to half of Spielberg's, and then converted into the same amount of cash, but now - 78 million in the first week of the painting, this special code is already Spielberg's level! In this case, they talk about it at half the price, and when people see it, they will definitely blow them out!

The sky-high asking price, it is true to sit on the ground and pay back, but as soon as you open your mouth, you will get a four-fold discount, which is more excessive than your mother's super double of buying vegetables, right?

Talents have tempers! And with their kind of talent, there are only three in the whole of America!

In this case, it's too hard, isn't that clearly telling the other party that I'm here to insult you?

Sony actually regrets it.

Because the internal process is too cumbersome, otherwise, they could have finished the cooperation before the release of "HA2"!

didn't seize the opportunity, so it can only be like this, in this way, promote Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, regarded as one of Sony's troika, Norio Ohga, he pushed his own person Nobuyuki Idei over, in his opinion, as long as Nobuyuki Idei gets the home game consoles that Sony needs and the film projects that have been losing money for many years, then it will be good to push him to the top position.

But it's a pity that Izumi has only listened to it for a long time, and Nobuyuki Idei hasn't heard any constructive opinions.

And at the same time that Peter Coober and Jean Peters were black-faced, he also understood that these two guys-

In fact, it's a-stirring stick.

And the current Sony Pictures Entertainment is a mess of!

"I don't want to listen to HA2's analysis and tell me what kind of price we need to offer if we want to sign a long-term contract with Roland Allen, and ...... Five movies as an example......"

Nobuyuki Idei knocked on the table, as a temporary airborne guy, he just wanted to complete the industrial tasks above.

The style of doing things without talking about the project and only talking about the quantity directly made the guys present stunned.

It is true that this kind of volume contract is very popular in Hollywood, but most of the time, it is opened by the film and television giants to the production companies below! How much money I give you a year, how many movies you have to produce, as for what you make, I don't care, but I need to sign a minimum return with you, if you can't achieve it, you pay for it yourself!

And it is not for nothing that people sign alone, but the most famous ......

Well, the circle is so big, you can't go around those few.

To be honest, with Roland's appeal, it must be no problem to sign someone, but-

Pieter-Coober and Jean-Peters looked at each other, and both saw the worry in the other's eyes.

Because Spielberg once told them to get out of the way in public, and they lost face, in this case......

Who wants Roland to be signed by Sony!

But they didn't know that cooperating with them was Sony's meaning, so they ......

"We can figure out the price, but—"

"Well, let's put it this way, the box office in the first week reflects the appeal of the star - this data can only tell us that as long as we can let the public know that Roland has such a movie, no matter what genre and how high the threshold is, there will be a stable group of audiences who will go to the theater to cheer it."

"But we also know that the box office appeal is like a credit card, it has a limit, "HA2" seems to be luxurious, but in fact it is illegal cash-out, it is overdrawing people's hearts to Roland's credit, although it still brings joy to people, but compared with "HA" and "T2", the gap is still very large, this time people will be provoked by film critics to resist, what about next time? When the next movie is released, will they still run to watch it for no reason? ”

"So ......"

"Hang on......" Just when Peter Guber wanted to demean Roland in order to stop Nobuyuki Idei from continuing to sign the other party, Nobuyuki Idei suddenly raised his hand and asked in an incredulous tone, "Peter, before you say the conclusion, I want to understand, what is Roland's next movie?" ”

"Jurassic!" Peter Guber blurted out without hesitation.

"Do you think Jurassic will fail?" Nobuyuki Idei squinted at each other.

Fuck！

Peter Guber, who wanted to push Roland away, was choked up and speechless.

Oh, yes! HA2 is indeed overdrawing Roland's credit limit, but so what?

Even if the current people are watching the movie with a vengeance, even if people will think that I will help you once, everyone will be even.

But so what?

His next movie is Jurassic!

Not a single person in the circle felt that this movie would fail!

It's not just because the original work of "Jurassic" doesn't know how many issues it has slaughtered in a row, but also because there is a guarantee over there!

You know, Roland Allen's basic and Spielberg's basic are not the same!

The former eats from families of the same age and young ladies, and the latter eats more men!

And when these two people come together, what does that mean?

Their basic plate is equivalent to killing!

Even if the credit limit is used up this time, in the case of killing, who dares to predict that the movie will hit the street?

People have capricious capital, so why doesn't it change?

And it is generally believed in the industry that "Jurassic" is going to break the record, but when it is more broken and less broken, you two wastes, are you saying to Lao Tzu that Roland's box office appeal has been discounted?

Wow......

How did you get here?

With a clear look of questioning, Peter Coober and Jean Peters could not continue to speak.

After muttering for a long time, they simply didn't mention it, "HA2 and Jurassic are 10 million, but Steven replaced 10 million with 8% of Jurassic, of course, this is based on the price code of "HA" and "T2", if you want to add the current "HA2", 20 million is the base, and there is a ......"

"Basically, it's about six percent, and we can't do his share."

Nobuyuki Idei understands what they mean, and the bigger the background, the worse the pit.

Why don't many directors and actors want to share, don't they just understand that they can't get it?

But what about Roland?

You can trap him this time, and from now on, you won't look for them to film.

As for the direct promotion to the 20 million club?

To tell the truth, his current results, with a 10 million guaranteed minimum of 18 points at home, each family is willing to give!

"That is to say, according to the cost of 50 million and the box office of 300 million, now he can make a net profit of about 30 million to 40 million for a movie?" Nobuyuki Idei knocked on the table, "Then how much profit can we basically make?" ”

"It's about the same as him, and those who call this price basically hold half of each other."

Fifty percent?

Nobuyuki Idei nodded, indicating understanding.

Negotiations, they will do it, and as for the valuation, then naturally who will come.

And after understanding Roland's current approximate price, he said: "I heard that he wants to shoot Spider-Man?" ”

"Hmm."

"Go contact Carolco and see if they sell."

"Huh? Buy Spider-Man? ”

"Let's ask for a price first."

"Okay......"

The appearance of Peter Guber and Jean Peters disgusted Nobuyuki Idei.

If he was the president, he would have fired these two guys who just took money and didn't work!

Your immediate boss has an idea, and you ask so much about what to do?

Isn't it okay to do so?

Besides, he just wants more chips when he gets the copyright.

As for the core?

Naturally, tie people up to Sony first!

"While asking Spider-Man, ask Steven and Roland about their project plans."

"I want to know what movie they're going to make next......"

However, just when Nobuyuki Idei wanted to make a quick decision and finalize the cooperation, Peter Guber and Jean Peters' answers made him jump three feet high on the spot, "Steven and Roland, it seems that there is no new film plan......"

"Nani?"
