"Didn't I mention the arrangements for Memory Fragments before?"

"Have a premiere and look for David Fincher and David Lynch to watch the film! Follow Sony's classic path of pushing niche films, exclude those who like to watch cool movies, let those who like to talk about style and brain supplement enter the venue, and cultivate a group of loyal fans for Christopher Nolan, this thing is very simple! ”

"What, could it be that something happened again?"

Flipping through Evelyn Watson's project report, Roland didn't see anything wrong.

Throwing it aside, he picked up the report sheet of "The Princess Diaries", the precise date on which made him poke his cheek with his tongue.

"The Princess Diaries is no problem, right?"

"It will start on March 27, seal the film on July 1, and three months later, and the film will be completed?"

"Now that it's done, let's set the release time, and then go through the publicity process!"

"As a fairy tale series, Cinderella theme, and a family-friendly chicken soup movie, just let Disney schedule the films according to their favorite schedule, this year's Christmas file can also be used, next year's summer file can also be used, and next year's Christmas file can be ......"

"Forget it, if it is released in next year's Christmas file, it will drag on too long."

"It's still this year's Christmas file, or next year's summer file!"

The barrage of words, wrapped in a thick sense of surprise, blasted towards Evelyn Watson.

Because in Roland's view, these two projects don't have to worry about themselves at all.

"Memory Fragments" has already won awards, and the most needed professional recognition in publicity and distribution has been owned.

As for "The Princess Diaries", after reaching an agreement with Disney, isn't the tool man who can best promote the princess's dream the most?

Since you can leave professional things to professional people, then ......

Why not sit back and enjoy it?

As for Spider-Man 3?

The ten-year period has been set, and it is impossible to change anything.

However, when Roland put down the file and looked at his subordinates with a puzzled expression, Evelyn Watson, who was not knocked down by questioning, spoke, "Boss, I did prepare for the release of these two movies according to your request. ”

"But in the process of preparation, we found very serious problems."

'Is there really a problem?' Roland frowned, "You say." ”

"First of all, the first question has to do with Memory Fragments." After getting Roland's permission, Evelyn Watson picked up the desk calendar on the table, pointed to the date on it, and said: "Your "Spider-Man 3" will have its premiere on the 10th of this month (November), and it will be officially released on the 16th, considering that your last movie can bring at least two weeks of media silence to the public, so we originally wanted to start the promotion of "Memory Fragments" next month, and strive to impact the Oscar Best Screenplay nomination, but the problem is that there will be a lot of Olympic movies released next month, "Memory Fragments" Compared to them, there is no advantage. ”

For example, Miramax's "Chocolate Love", Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp's lineup directly crushed "Memory Fragments"; Another example is "Traffic", Christopher Noland has to rely on Steven Soderbergh to speak, and the directing link can't be compared, not to mention that "Traffic" is still played by Michael Douglas and Catherine Jones. ”

"And these two movies are only visible to the naked eye, and in addition, there are many movies that can't compare to them, but can pose a threat to "Memory Fragments", so we can only postpone ...... now"

Although "Memory Fragments" and "Chocolate" and "Traffic" are not the same type of films, as soon as they enter December, these films are competing with each other in terms of promotion.

As the hottest awards season in Hollywood, there are not too many people who want professionals to endorse their works, and when time is limited and there are so many professionals, grabbing people to watch movies has become a game of resources.

In the same way, these professionals also have to maintain their influence on the public and consolidate their position in the circle through recognizable films, so that even if they have deep friendships, they have to line up their friends according to the importance of their jobs.

Just like the three movies "Jiang Ziya", "Pioneer", and "My Hometown and Me" were released at the same time, but only the former was the most popular, no matter how well the movie was made, as long as you follow the popularity and write a review, you will definitely make money.

And if you write a review of an unpopular movie first, and then go to see a popular movie, it's over......

Eat, you can't catch up with the heat!

Coupled with the limited energy of the people, a large number of reports does not mean that they can get higher attention, so the cast cannot reach the level of the same period, and the production team has no bright spots in "Memory Fragments", so there is only one way to go.

Although Roland's endorsement can indeed make "Memory Fragments" have the power to fight, Roland will not come forward.

First, he had to sell his movie "Spider-Man 3".

Second, his relationship with Christopher Nolan is not enough to support him to come forward.

In the past, George Lucas and those people helped Roland shout movies because Roland was a student of Steven Spielberg.

Now James Cameron is attending the premiere of the Olson sisters' new film, and that's because they are Roland's sisters.

Only by being close to each other can there be help, and other interests are connected, and they can never be relied on.

Because of this, after listening to Evelyn Watson's explanation, Roland made a decision, saying, "Then postpone." ”

"After next year's Oscars, before the summer season, is there a problem?"

"Nope." Evelyn Watson shook her head, marking the time period 'March 25 to May 1' on the Memory Fragments file, then picked up the calendar again and said, "The same is true for The Princess Diaries. ”

"Since we signed a partnership with Disney, they've wanted to get enough distribution projects from us to get a 'Princess Diaries' already in production next month, according to Dick Cook's plan."

"But the problem is that there are too many blockbusters next month."

"Moreover, the large pile-up is all caused by you."

""Breaking Bad", which was originally scheduled to be released yesterday, that is, on November 3, was moved by Sony to December 1."

""The Grinch of Christmas", which was originally scheduled to be released on November 17, was also moved to December 1 by the world."

""Undead" and "102 Dalmatians", which were originally scheduled to be released on November 22, were rescheduled to December 6 by their producer, Disney."

"Not only that, but "Eavesdropping on a Woman's Heart," directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Mel Gibson, will be released on December 15, and on the same day, there will be a Disney animated film "Transforming into a King."

"In addition to that, "Desert Island Survivors," directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, will be released on December 22, and on that day there is also a "Agent Belle" starring Sandra Bullock and Michael Cain.

"In order to avoid you, all the blockbusters originally scheduled to be released in November have been moved to December, and if "The Princess Diaries" is released in this case, there is a 99.9% probability that Anne Hathaway, who has no popular support, will hit the streets."

"So ......"

"We have a headache."

'Tsk! ’

When Evelyn Watson smiled bitterly at Roland with a sad face, Roland, who was sitting behind her desk and listening, was also confused.

At this moment, he just wanted to say, 'You fell before I could exert myself?' ’

Previously, when Roland's film was released, these Hollywood studios would avoid it, but they wouldn't be as crazy as they are now.

There is no such thing as directly giving away an entire month's schedule!

However, if you think about it, Roland can understand.

The gimmick of the final chapter of the series alone is enough to bluff people, and if you add a real withdrawal from the circle, then ......

Even if other companies are in the movie, they can only become cannon fodder!

Merchants make movies for money.

Even in Hollywood, box office revenue accounts for only 20 percent of total movie revenue, but that doesn't mean people are willing to give up.

Even if the current December belongs to the fairy fight, it is much better than squeezing into November and being pressed and rubbed on the floor by Roland!

And in this situation, if you force "The Princess Diaries", it will only pounce and there will be no ashes left.

Because the current Anne Hathaway can't afford the box office.

"Then next summer." Roland, who understood the current situation, said indifferently.

In his opinion, being able to bend and stretch is the embodiment of heroes.

However, before he could finish speaking, Evelyn Watson shook her head again.

"If it's next summer, it's even more problematic."

According to Kevin Feige's report, the upcoming "X-Men" can be released next summer; According to Peter Jackson's report, "The Lord of the Rings 1" will be able to complete all the post-production in April next year, and the summer file will also be available. ”

"If that's all there is to it, then forget it."

"But ......"

"Your sister's movie, next summer, can actually be released."

"You told me before that I should get the copyright of "Mean Girls" and shoot it for Ashley and Mary, and judging from the results of the current discussion, this film can enter the filming process in early December and be completed in early February next year."

"With three months to make, it can also be released in August, so that the movies we can show next summer are "X-Men", "The Lord of the Rings 1", "The Princess Diaries", "Mean Girls", and "Black Hawk Down" after the summer."

"From May to August, it's only four months in total, and we have four movies to launch."

"This level of density is bound to affect their results, so I wanted to move "The Lord of the Rings 1" to next year's Christmas slot, but the problem is that next year's Christmas slot, and Steven Spielberg's "Harry Potter" ......"

At this point, Evelyn Watson herself burst out laughing.

After a moment, she showed a look of madness, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Boss, we have too many movies!" ”

"Other film companies are competing with their opponents for schedules, and we are internal struggle resources!"

'Shhh ’

Evelyn Watson's words made Roland contribute to global warming.

Because the current situation is not within the scope of his prediction at all.

There are so many works invested by the company that they can't even schedule that year?

This......

He didn't feel like he had anything to do!

Roland, who felt strange, took the project report handed by Evelyn Watson, and after he dug deep into the frozen memories and tried to recall the bits and pieces of his previous life, he found that it may be because he is used to small goals such as monopoly market and long-arm jurisdiction, so he is not sensitive to this kind of project of tens of millions and hundreds of millions at all!

It doesn't matter to him whether the movie can make money or not, because even if the film project makes money, it can't outrun any other assets in his hands, so he just does what he wants, and he doesn't think about miscellaneous things at all.

Take "X-Men" as an example, Roland vaguely remembers that in his previous life, Fox launched it in the millennium, and now, he was influenced by Roland to the summer of 01.

In this way, the summer file of the millennium will have one less masterpiece, and the summer file of the year 01 will have a little more competition.

Another example is "Mean Girls", although Lindsay Han Luo and Olsen sisters are both born in '86, "Mean Girls", a movie about fifteen-year-old high school students, was not made at all when Lindsay Han Luo was fifteen years old.

It is the unspoken rule of Hollywood to let women in their twenties play teenage high school students, and only guys like Roland who want to praise their own people will really pick their age, so that the current Olsen sisters will make movies in a few years, because if they don't do this, they have no drama to make.

It is precisely because Roland feels that it doesn't matter to pick and choose, so there will be a situation where his own movies are squeezing the schedule, and if "X-Men" and "Mean Girls" are cut, and "The Princess Diaries", "The Lord of the Rings 1", and "Harry Potter" share a summer file and a Christmas file, there will be a lot of room for operation in terms of release time.

And now......

'Hold the grass! Blunder! What a mistake! Roland muttered inwardly.

But even then, he did not show panic.

Because of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in hand, whoever comes is a dead word!

But just when Roland felt that there was a speaker next to him that could play 'how invincible is, how lonely' on a loop, Evelyn Watson's next words made Roland's face collapse.

"If internal competition is the current status quo of our company, then external pressure is the root cause of my inability to schedule films."

"Because next year's summer file, there will be a bunch of blockbuster movies released."

"First up is DreamWorks Animation's Shrek, a film overseen by Jeffrey Katzenberg himself that is sure to be a big hit."

"The second is the sequel to The Mummy, The Mummy, which has the good support of its predecessor, and I can't find a reason for their failure."

"Then there's "Pearl Harbor," and although I don't quite believe they can surpass "Titanic", the box office will certainly not be low."

"Then there's Jurassic Park 3, as a big-hit series you've personally participated in, even if Steven Spielberg doesn't care about it, it can still get an exaggerated box office."

"There's also 'Battle of the Planet of the Apes,' a sci-fi blockbuster directed by Tim Burton that can also attract a cult fan."

"And in the end, I personally pay a lot of attention to "Rush Hour 2", but it depends on the release situation, as a sequel to the fire series, how much box office Jackie Chan can get, I think the boss knows better than me."

When one title after another popped up, Roland's face was as long as a shoehorn......

Because all the guys in this, all the special mothers are ruthless characters!

If Roland remembers correctly, the guy here, the worst one got 300 million at the box office!

While it can't be compared to the carnage of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, it would be more than enough to join forces to bury an X-Men, and if you put other movies in the melee in this case, it would ......

Everyone, losers!

"Just kidding, huh? Is next year's summer file so scary? "Roland can't recall the exact dates of all the films.

Listening to his inquiry, Evelyn Watson nodded, "At least that's what the intelligence is at the moment. ”

"Shhh......hh

At the same time, the sense of absurdity of being out of one's own control also arises.

The movies in his hands are all special and popular in his previous life, and if the works that exploded in his previous life hit the street without his control, then this kind of mistake, I'm afraid it can laugh to death?

It's never possible for anyone to know about these things, but ......

As long as it appears, it will be a thorn in Roland's heart!

Because this is too special to lose the face of the traverser!

However, just as he was pondering what method to use to avoid being ashamed, Evelyn Watson spoke again, "So, for the sake of safety, I personally want to arrange "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" to be released next Christmas, the former, endorsed by Steven Spielberg, even if it is released around Thanksgiving in November, it can cause a massacre to the entire market, and the latter, released in December Christmas, because "The Lord of the Rings" itself is feelings." ”

"As a result, the only movies released in the summer are "X-Men", "Mean Girls" and "The Princess Diaries".

"'Mean Girls' starred by the Olsen sisters, which can be placed in June, because they are not afraid of the impact of those sci-fi blockbusters, while 'The Princess Diaries' is best placed in August, as a time when sci-fi blockbusters are reluctant to enter, it is relatively less stressed."

"As for X-Men......"

"I personally prefer to put it in early May."

"As the beginning of the summer season, there are not many studios willing to make blockbuster movies at this time, because the students are not completely on vacation, and the release at this time can reduce the confrontation pressure of "X-Men".

"But at the same time, since there really aren't any big names in the whole movie, ......"

"Personally, I hope that the boss can set a good example."

“What？” When Evelyn Watson was analyzing the Tao, Roland was still sighing that he had picked up a treasure.

Employees who can help the boss wipe their butts are good employees!

Only by showing your value first, then you will have a promotion and salary increase!

Young people have to endure a little harder, and only by tempering can they grow!

However, when Evelyn Watson went around in a circle and shifted the topic back to Roland, he listened with relish and felt that something was wrong, because the other party looked at him the way he usually looked at others.

It's not like an X-ray, peeling off the coat of a pretty girl layer by layer, but using excitement and scrutiny to judge how much value the immediate goal can bring to you.

To put it bluntly, that's looking at tool people.

And employees treat the boss as a tool?

It's worth it!

Are you playing with power and usurping the throne?

Just when Roland felt that the BGM around him had to be changed from 'how invincible, how lonely' to 'I gave you freedom too much', Evelyn Watson's face suddenly showed a touch of shyness.

"That's it...... It is...... is to let "Spider-Man 3" crush all the opponents in this year's Christmas file. ”

"Let the people feel that Marvel is a cow beep!"

"Then, when promoting X-Men, start with what Kevin Feige calls the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe.'"

"In this way, when people know that "X-Men" is not a separate series, but the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we will be able to crush all the contemporaneous opponents in terms of publicity!"

'Gotcha! ’

Roland understands it, Evelyn Watson, it turns out that she is possessed by Light Media!

Pulling two films that were unrelated at the time of production into the same universe is not an act of light!

When "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" was released, it brought an easter egg of "Jiang Ziya".

At that time, Yishui's public relations number said-

The light is the light of the nation! Defend against Hollywood invasions!

Light is the soul of the nation! Build your own universe of gods!

Light is the last conscience of domestic animation, if you don't watch "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World", then you are not XX people!

The result?

When "Jiang Ziya" was released, and the polarization of word-of-mouth was extremely obvious, Guangguang said that this is just the Fengshen series, the Fengshen series, the Fengshen series, please don't overinterpret the easter eggs!

Meow Meow Meow ???

It took a year of over-interpretation of the public relations account before you came out to refute the rumors?

Isn't this Rebus possessed, playing the audience like monkeys?

And now, Evelyn Watson wants to tie "X-Men" to "Spider-Man 3"?

Ahh

Is Lao Tzu's popularity rubbed by Kevin Feige's big bald head?
