In fact, after Disney made it clear that "The Lion King" would be screened in a regional way to reduce the impact of racist protests on the film, Roland did not pay attention to the film.

Although they don't mean the slow spread of a state by state, after all, the summer vacation is limited, and the children's consumption time is limited, so they have to seize the children's box office in the area where they have not marched, so as not to waste the influence of the previous poster advertising while avoiding the disaster, and there will be a situation of grabbing both hands and empty-handed, but in the first three days of the weekend, the box office of less than three million, what is there to pay attention to? For Roland, this kind of achievement is simply a 'shame', right?

If it was 30 million in three days and 70 million in the first week, then he would definitely have a sense of pride.

Don't look at the box office of 70 million in seven days compared with the first week of "Jurassic Park", which broke 100 million in the first week, but this is his one-man mono-antibody box office! This kind of data, tie up Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood, they can't do it!

But when Simpson made such a fuss, there was nothing.

Even after the first weekend, with the increase in the number of shows, the average daily box office has risen slightly, going up from 2.5 million to less than 3 million, but even if this data can be maintained until the end of the summer vacation, the total box office is only between 1500 million and 180 million.

Of course, for Disney, after being beaten twice in a row by Roland, they have accumulated a wealth of long-term combat experience, and the release time in Europe is directly scheduled to October, and they are not afraid that their film account sharing period will be extended because of this.

Count on your fingers, according to Disney's way of doing this, he will have to wait until the middle of ninety-five years to get the first money at the earliest, and thank God for being able to settle all the money before ninety-six years, as for the channel?

Roland has already ignored such a thing, and the day he received it, he will think that he has won the lottery!

Compared with "The Lion King", Roland's cameo appearance in "Forrest Gump" is too lucky, and I don't know if it was the news that Paramount took the initiative to release it, or if there were really Simpsons supporters who discovered the content of the movie, they felt that Forrest Gump, who was born with hypochondriasis, ran into college through his own efforts, which was the best tribute and support to Simpson at this time, so after the end of the first week, the box office of "Forrest Gump" grew by nearly four points in the second week......

As for the beginning of the film, Roland and Hanks sit side by side on a park bench, listening to each other's stories with embarrassed expressions, and dealing with the picture of chocolate stuffed with overwhelmed faces?

Seriously, the effect of his cameo is definitely there, but definitely not as strong as those fanatical supporters.

You can't make sense of this kind of thing, right?

This situation made Roland very embarrassed, on the surface, his influence on the Hollywood A+list was not comparable to those in the sports circle, but after thinking about it carefully, Roland was relieved again.

Why?

Because he thinks "Black Panther" is not good-looking, and the news of the start of filming of "Black Panther 2" is even more unfavorable to him, but ......

"Black Panther" not only sold 1.3 billion worldwide, but was also selected for the Oscar for Best Picture.

North America has single-handedly contributed 53% of the share and made a box office of 700 million.

Compared with "Black Panther", these guys who are crazy about supporting "Forrest Gump" are not so magical.

In this way, Roland really realized his wish to not make a movie in 94 years and become a little transparent.

It's not that he wants to put on an invisibility cloak, it's that society and the market help him put on an invisibility cloak.

Of course, Roland is far from the saddest one in the whole wave.

"The Speed of Life and Death", which was released before "The Lion King", was full of public opinion storms brought by Simpson, and there were 14 million in the first weekend, but after three days, the entire Amerika stayed at home to watch the live broadcast.

"True Lies" is even worse, with an investment of 1.5 billion, and 25.8 million in the first weekend, which is at least 30 million up from what Fox thought, there is a certain deviation, and compared with the results of "Forrest Gump", ......

Well, looking at it this way, Roland is still a bit of a useful ang?

At least without his governor and truckers, they couldn't achieve 30 million in three days, and Zemeckis and Hanks with it successfully broke through the 30 million mark!

Of course, this kind of self-entertaining joke is actually what Roland has in mind, because on the surface, in addition to "Speed of Life and Death", "The Lion King", "Forrest Gump", and "Strange Heroes in Disguise", this year's summer movies are estimated to hit the streets across the board.

Jack Nicholson's "Werewolf Life and Death Love", with an investment of 70 million, did not exceed 18 million at the box office in the first weekend.

Joe Schumacher's "The Client", with an investment of 45 million, grossed just over 17 million in its opening weekend.

Harrison Ford's "Burning Pursuit" invested 62 million and grossed just over 20 million in its opening weekend.

In the case that a bunch of bigwigs are likely to hit the streets, no film company can laugh!

Because of this, after seeing that the situation was grim, Castle Stone Pictures learned that Roland wanted to buy their movie, these guys immediately hooked up with Roland, but they were dissatisfied with the price of fifteen million proposed by Roland, thinking that it was too little; Roland is not that kind of fool! He can look at Mike Mohami, Cole Nedham and others with love and no investment! As an iron rooster who will only be generous to his family, you want him to add money for no reason?

Unless the solar energy climbs out from the west!

So, in order to let Roland raise "The Shawshank Redemption" to the cost price, Castle Stone Pictures took out its own film library to tempt, their idea is actually very simple, at this time, Roland can stupidly want to buy "The Shawshank Redemption", then show him the film library, isn't it just to let him screen whether there are projects that will definitely lose money?

As long as he chooses it, then package it together and sell it to him at cost price, anyway, they are all movies that are about to be released, and according to the current market reaction, they don't have any bottom in their hearts!

Roland, who already felt that bargaining was very annoying, and wanted to refuse in one bite, so that they could see what it meant to 'love to sell or not, not to sell and get out', after hearing Castle Stone Pictures' proposal to reveal its old bottom and open the door of the cave, he swallowed his words.

The film library is the root of the film company.

MGM has been rotten for so many years, and it can still sell 4.8 billion in 05.

Although this has something to do with the fact that they have a bunch of hotels and resorts under their name, the treasure library is what Sony is looking for.

In this way, Roland asked the guys at Castle Stone Pictures to bring the list of films.

After a closer look, there are other good things in it!

"Clint's Sniper in the Line of Fire? Tom's "The Mighty Wind"? NBC's Seinfeld? ”

"You all have all of these things?" Roland was full of surprises.

"Uh...... We are only responsible for the production of these, and the specific copyright is not in our hands now. ”

"What about When Harry Met Sally? You made it yourself, right? Roland didn't care, and continued to ask.

"Uh...... We don't sell this. The person in charge rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Ten Days of Danger?"

"We're not going to sell this either...... After all, it's been released......"

Okay......

When Roland heard the other party say this, why didn't he understand that these guys were purely thinking of themselves as Kaizi?

But it doesn't matter, what he likes to do the most is to be a Kaizi in the eyes of others!

Since Castle Stone Pictures was only established in eighty-seven years, there are not many things in their film library, except for "The Shawshank Redemption" and those things that can't be sold, Roland actually has only one movie in his eye -

"How does "Love Before Dawn" sell?"

That's right! When Roland saw the opening of the "Love In" trilogy, he wanted to take it!

Although he does not like this platonic love, he respects everyone's choice.

Like "The Seven Deadly Sins", since many people think that the "Love" trilogy is very good, it proves that the ideas expressed by the director can at least be obtained, and in this case, even if the entire series will definitely not make money in the short term, Roland still wants to buy it and throw it into his own film library, which is not a question of profit or not, but a problem of filling the film library in many ways.

can fill the film library with high-quality resources, who would choose bad movies?

Buying "The Shawshank Redemption" is based on this consideration, Roland may not be able to shoot the first film history in the audience's mind in his life, but it doesn't matter, the first film history you like is lying in my warehouse!

Roland's thoughts, Castle Stone Pictures naturally don't know, but they know that a small-budget feature film like "Love In" is less than 2.5 million, no matter how it is distributed, it is definitely a big fight.

If you want to recoup your capital, you have to sell at least a year's disc first.

In this way, things are simpler, they hope that Roland can buy the entire copyright of the film at the cost price of "The Shawshank Redemption" of 25 million, and the copyright transfer fee of the "Love In" trilogy is the cost of 2.5 million and the investment and distribution rights of the series of 500,000, adding up to 28 million.

This price, Roland naturally did not accept, and the reason he gave was very simple, "I gave an investment of 30 million to David Fincher's new project, including Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, these people together can't take 15 million from me, you, "The Shawshank Redemption", one has no box office appeal superstar, and the other is in trouble, why is it so expensive?" ”

"I haven't even seen any of your movies! I just love Stephen King's books! ”

"If you sell like that, then I won't buy it, and who knows when the Simpson case will end? Who knows if the outcome of the Simpson case will have an impact on the release of the film's videotapes? ”

When Roland moved out of the argument that I hadn't even seen the movie, Castle Stone Pictures, who wanted to bargain, was a little dazed.

They thought that Roland had at least watched the movie from Sony, thought the content was good, and wanted to gamble, but they didn't expect that-

Does this master really act according to his preferences?

This is simply a stupid son of the landlord's family!

After remembering that Roland had liked to collect Marvel's tattered copyrights before, they felt that their analysis was even more reasonable.

Born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, buying something at a price of 10 million is the same as buying cabbage in the vegetable market, the biggest difference between him and Nicolas Cage is not that the other party likes to spend time and drink, and Roland is pursuing the meaning of life?

It's all brain-dead!

Looking at it this way, it makes no sense to test the price!

For Roland, they are not necessities, they are just the preferences of the hot head!

If it drags on for two weeks, maybe you won't be too lazy to buy it!

In this kind of situation where I don't buy it doesn't matter, and if you don't sell it, you will hit the street, then the business will be negotiated faster.

In the end, Roland agreed to buy the investment and distribution rights to "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Love Before Dawn" and subsequent series for 22 million, which reduced the loss to 6 million.

Although they still lost, they passed on the biggest risk to Roland, and Roland ......

20 million to buy a film history word of mouth first, 2 million to buy a love series that literary and artistic young people love to watch?

No matter how you look at it, it's a big profit!

After the official signing and completion of the transfer, Roland re-calculated the publicity and distribution arrangements with Sony.

I still have to participate in the Toronto International Film Festival that was scheduled before, and as for the screening, it's a little more Buddhist!

As long as the conditions for the seven-day screening are met, enough judges can see the film and get an Oscar nomination.

It doesn't matter how much the box office is, Roland doesn't care at all, he just waits for the Simpsons case to be over, and then sells the disc aggressively!

After all, after attending George Lucas's fiftieth birthday party, Roland certainly understands how much those guys care about the game, and since Forrest Gump is the highlight moment of Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks, why does Roland still take "The Shawshank Redemption" to join in the fun? Not to mention that this movie didn't win the Oscar in the first place, even if he did, he can now do the act of covering his work and not participating in the competition!

Friends help each other, it's not a big deal.

As for selling discs—

Don't worry about him!

As the developer of the DVD standard war, it couldn't be easier to sell a disc to Roland!

And after taking one day to finalize the acquisition, the previously bought "Eating Men and Women" was also put on the screening schedule.

Of course, this is more of a self-entertainment, it is better to be profitable, and Roland is not a loss if he can't make a profit.

He didn't sign any gambling agreement, he made as much money as he wanted, as long as he was happy, he could toss as much as he wanted!

After finalizing the business that needs to come forward by himself, the rest of the things are naturally left to others to do, and Roland himself is learning from Master Yuan, although the actions that can't be done or dangerous actions can be directly on the stand-in, but the appearance at other times has to be corrected, this is filming "Spider-Man", not filming "Charlie's Angel", that kind of soft action is fake at first glance, after all, it is recognized that it is a series that will pounce worse if you change three men to play, and the reboot is even more scum, Although the correctness of various fields is taken into account, but on the whole, it is the four dissimilarities of a child's play.

"Watch your back, don't bow up."

"You can be slow, but don't do it the same way."

"Look at the plum blossom pile under you first, I don't want you to fall from it."

That's right, in order to make Roland's movements more smooth and coordinated, Master Yuan directly gave him a plum blossom pile, at the beginning of the teaching, for fear that Roland would not understand, Master Yuan also personally went into battle, demonstrated what is called open crotch and crotch, and tried his skills to show his flexibility.

Although Roland has long known these things, and he has always thought that animals, although Mr. Zhang Chengen learns more similarly, Master Yuan, an old man, should be able to design a better posture to teach students in a more relaxed way.

However, after reading Master Yuan's design, he instantly lost confidence in the half-year study.

I'm rubbing, isn't the plum blossom pile gone?

What the hell are you making me crawl on all fours?

The point is that it is easy to hang up the gears!

Different spacing ups and downs are normal!

Especially after Roland went up, he found out that he was the Luo Xiaohei who chased the tail.

As we all know, cats and cattails are two creatures, and Roland, who is on the plum blossom pile, above the neck and below the neck, are two species, the eyes, ears and head tell him that I know how to do it, but the limbs and body tell him, no, you can't ......

Of course, although the practice in reality was much more difficult than expected, Roland did not give up.

There is a certain gap between the performance effect of the stand-in and the real person, the most classic is "Golden Cicada Shell 2: Hades", if there is no Stallone, then the whole movie can be called "Huang Sect Master and His Stand-ins".

It doesn't matter if you use a stand-in! But don't show the face of a stand-in in the movie!

Is this for fear that the audience will not know that you used a stand-in?

Although filming "Spider-Man" can use suits to reduce this bug, according to the truck driver, he will arrange a face-showing fight, and in this case, Roland will not take it lightly.

He knows that Tobey Maguire uses a stand-in for punching the Sandman, and he doesn't reject these things, but if the truck driver wants him to get on, he has to be able to stand in front of the camera at any time.

After all, the entire IP is his own, this is his own project, and he doesn't want to ruin it because of his laziness.

And the practice is not endless, from six to eight in the morning, and then from nine to twelve o'clock, the rest of the time is still freely arranged, compared with those guys who really rely on action movies to eat, Roland's time is really not enough, but to be honest, you let him practice paralyzed like Wu Jin? He admired Wu Jin's tenacity, but this kind of thing couldn't have happened to him......

With 20,000 shares of Berkshire Hathaway, he has a place on the rich list.

Earning money just to paralyze yourself?

Before he started to enjoy life, he lay on the hospital bed and enjoyed his old age, and then watched the cabbage being cut by others?

No way!

When pigs fly!

He can keep learning for what he likes, but he can't play with his life......

He couldn't do it, and the old men wouldn't let him do it.

It's like Spielberg asking how Cheng Long jumped off the building to be filmed.

For the current Roland, if the problem can be solved with technology, then burn money to do it.
