Chapter 815: Crew Life
Linton's move ...... It's not very surprising, anyway, according to the box office on the first day, the cat and mouse game project will definitely not fail, the pot is gone, and in the eyes of the boss Eisner, maybe it is still a credit, the controlling Disney emperor has always been very ruthless to thorny executives, directors, and actors.
And he is different, a twenty-one-year-old black singer cuts Ridley Scott's movie? It's also wrong to cut it well, original sin.
According to Bowei Pictures' predictions, the box office of Cat and Mouse Game in the first week of Beimi will probably fall in the range of 15 to 18 million, ranking third in the Thanksgiving schedule, second only to Toy Story and 007 GoldenEye, magically suppressing the sequel to the detective plane head that was released for three weeks.
Yeremov calculated according to the proportion of the box office on the first day, the cat and mouse game can actually get better results, 20 million, but unfortunately, even Disney, the theater resources can not support the two blockbusters that opened on the same day, and its distributor Bowei Pictures is even more Toy Story, which is a family movie, cartoon, or toy peripheral and even Disneyland, and the commercial potential is not comparable to the biographical feature film of the cat and mouse game.
Therefore, the most films scheduled in the same period are Warner's detective airplane sequel, with 2,700 theaters and 1,000 superimposed murders.
The new cinemas of the cat-and-mouse game were basically snatched from the other six major film companies by Bo Wei and the cinema chain, and Columbia Pictures' money train was the most 'victimized', with the original plan of 2,500 theaters in the first week being compressed to 2,000, and the box office is expected to be nearly halved from 18 million, leaving only 10 million.
The second bitter master is MGM's dwarf, because the black comedy is the most serious collision with the cat-and-mouse game theme in the same schedule, and it has been more than a month since its release, and the whole crew has begun to lie flat, it doesn't matter.
The Italian gang's gambling city has not been affected, because Martin Scorsese's kind of gangster film is the only one, and the audience who wants to watch it will naturally buy tickets to watch it, and those who are not interested will not be able to compete for it, and it is not convenient for director Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro to carry out unconventional publicity actions. The whole crew of them jointly expressed their support for Ridley Scott, suggesting that the cat-and-mouse game was ruined by Linton's big scissors, which is a routine operation and not too much.
Their problem is that the people of the United States really don't like to watch this kind of theme, 1,600 theaters have scheduled films, and the box office in the first week is about 12 million, which is not satisfactory to the distributor Universal in any case.
In addition, only the heroine Sharon Stone's mouth tore a few words from Amy and Xue Linfen, which was secretly remembered by Song Ya, but she didn't have the energy to retaliate for the time being, because the money train crew and Columbia Pictures were going crazy, the production cost of 70 million did not count the publicity and copy costs, and the box office in the first week was only 10 million.
"Aren't you going to advertise it to the crew next week? Europe is not going either? Scatter your heart. ”
Song Ya asked Xue Linfen on the phone.
The revenge of the money train crew is very fierce, in addition to repeatedly mentioning Song Ya, an investor, to combat the desire of white fans to buy tickets to watch, they also put their main targets on actresses such as Ashley Judd, Amy Adams and Xue Linfen, no way, Leto became famous not long ago, the media did not have much black material in their hands, the second male and the third male and even the fourth male are middle-aged actors with a good reputation, and Ridley Scott's file is not always good, it will have the opposite effect and arouse the curiosity of the audience, so he can only go to the actress three ways.
They asked the media to dig up the black material of all the actresses of the cat-and-mouse game, Amy Adams and Xue Linfen and their past, Ashley Judd and the actress who topped Charlis and Harvey Weinstein, and they also noticed Amy Ake, who only had one line in the movie, saying that she made a deal with the cat-and-mouse game crew to help slander Jennifer Lopez to change roles, and so on.
Pushing people into the water is also self-help, the cat and mouse game robbed their schedule, in addition to trying to regain the schedule, they also attacked the police and gangster films with themes such as superimposed murder and other crashes, such as Harvey Weinstein's 72-hour life and death line that will be launched next week is also unlucky, that movie obviously has little to do with the police and bandit theme, but who told you Harvey to take this kind of title and invest in cat and mouse games?
"If I don't go, I'd better stay home with Robb Jr., and continue to study the script by the way, oh yes, several studios invited me to audition today, and I'm asking Tim to help pick it out."
Shealynfen was embarrassed by the overwhelming attacks, her early short-term relationship with another black superstar, Prince Priss, was turned over, and the tabloids said that she had abandoned herself after being dumped by Johnny Depp, that she was 'getting more and more tasteful', that she loved stamp collecting, that she had children with a singer and a rich man and lived in a multi-million mansion, that she had a long-term meal ticket, and so on.
It's natural that she is willing to accompany her son, "Okay, let's have more eyes before taking on the film, and let Tim discuss it with me before signing the contract." Song Ya felt that her mind was quite peaceful and she was relieved.
Tarragee watched him put down the microphone and reported, "Wesley Streep approached Patsy Sutton through his old Broadway connections, wanting the Inner City Broadcasting Company to raise his hand and stop hyping up his domestic violence." Sutton and his son didn't agree, after all, you will officially become the chairman of the inner city radio company early next month, and this time it was Wesley and the Italians who crossed the line first. ”
"Hmm."
It's still that problem, the black media elite doesn't want to see their own people fighting each other, like this with MJ, and the same with Wesley and himself, although Wesley's previous image was very positive, he was born in a professional class, he has been polished on Broadway for many years, and he has entered Hollywood step by step, and his acting experience is very solid, but he and outsiders do it first, and Sutton and his son will definitely not give him a good face, "He is now like a fly without a head, and he has begged Spike Lee, and Spike Lee's idiot just called me to suggest that I stop." ”
"Do you want to sell Spike Lee's face? Charlie is filming on his crew of Call Girl No. 6, and Hallie is also going to make a cameo role. ”
"And Bowell Pictures doesn't take the money train into account now, and Mr. Linton also said that it's almost fine, and not giving the other party any picture is the best way to retaliate," Taragi said. ”
"No, never, that won't hack him so much that he can't get along in Hollywood."
This time, he grabbed Wesley and beat him, and he had a chance among the people who were currently involved in the incident at David Geffen's house, "Maintain the intensity of the attack, let the paparazzi reported by Louise continue to dig deeper, the domestic violence scandal alone will not achieve the goal, and the black community has a high tolerance for beating women." At the very least, I will wait until after the release of the money train, but I want to see how much that movie will lose in the end! Song Ya gritted her teeth.
"Will Charlis be ......?"
"It's okay, Spike Lee can't save face when he helps to intercede, and he won't be angry with a little actor."
In New York, Spike Lee is sitting in front of a monitor in a daze.
"The director, Madonna's people said she would be there in half an hour...... "The assistant came to report.
"Oh." He looked at his watch blankly and continued to be in a daze.
"Three hours ago, I said that there was still half an hour to ......," the young assistant director next to him complained, "If we had known this, we would have filmed the other actors' scenes first, which made the whole crew wait for an afternoon, and the filming plan had to be postponed for another day." ”
"Don't complain, that's what that pop diva is." Spike Lee stopped him, "Tell someone to take the temperature of the tub again." ”
Although she has won the Golden Raspberry Award many times, Madonna has many requirements when she participates in the movie, so harsh that there are even regulations on how many degrees of bathwater there are, which is one of the biggest headaches for the filmmaker, but there is no way, who called himself a suspense criminal, and it is useless to get nominated for the Venice Golden Lion Award, and now he can't make a big investment, so he can only rely on all the connections he has accumulated before and the temptation of the award film to make a movie in which a superstar voluntarily makes a free cameo in order to turn over.
"Are you going to go to the theater announcement event of the money train that night? It's a bit too late. The assistant asked.
"No, apologize to Wesley for me."
Spike Lee doesn't want to be in the same frame with Wesley now, and that ruthless guy at APLUS is digging up his black material, so don't blow up and drag yourself down.
"Anyway, after filming Madonna's scene today, the other plans will definitely not be completed, so why don't you give other actors a holiday?" The assistant director asked.
"Okay." Spike Lee was stunned again.
"Today's shooting plan has been cancelled, and I'll come back on time tomorrow to report." The assistant director shouted a few times in the actor's rest area at the back.
"Why? I'm going to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow for an audition! That's important to me! ”
Charis, who was napping on the shoulder of her fat follower, immediately became anxious, tomorrow was the last round of auditions for a miracle that could not be stopped, and she planned to fly straight over after filming in the afternoon.
"You're busy."
The assistant director sneered, this beautiful white girl with a similar Monroe temperament doesn't give herself a chance to dive at all, and the director refuses to reveal the background, so it should be stuffed in by the APLUS relationship, which is not difficult to guess, because she has appeared in APLUS's I Gotta Feeling MV and cat and mouse game movies, and the hot dance clips with APLUS are very sultry and brilliant, and the drunk girl with only one line in the cat and mouse game can enjoy a frontal close-up, which says a lot of things.
"Please." Charise stood up and leaned over to the assistant director, pattingly stroking the other man's shoulder.
will play this trick, and if you don't give the dive everything, it's equal to zero, you know? The assistant director was slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend the person behind the girl, "I definitely can't shoot it today, at most, change your role to tomorrow morning, the earliest one." ”
"That's not enough time......"
Charlis continued to sell pathetic, the agent said that the unstoppable miracle of the final round of auditions would take a whole day, she had already booked her ticket, and she had to leave tonight.
"You...... Hum. The assistant director is not used to it, "Since you don't have time, then I'll change your scene to Gretchen tomorrow, how about it?" ”
Charis's face changed, Gretchen Moore was her biggest opponent in the crew, the same tall, blonde hair, the same marginal model, the same gorgeous face, I heard that the role of girl No. 12 she played was supposed to be Gretchen, and the director transferred it to herself in order to sell APLUS. So as soon as she joined the group, the girl sneered at her face and made a bad mistake behind her back, and the two had several conflicts before, the most serious one was almost a fight in front of the dressing table......
So far since the movie was made, she still hasn't figured out what story the director wants to tell, Gretchen was squeezed into the role of Girl No. 42 with much fewer scenes than herself, but except for the heroine's No. 6 girl, the homogenization of other call girls is very serious, and it is definitely not difficult to change people temporarily.
I'm not one of those big names who come to make cameos......
She was so anxious that she cried on the spot, Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks was very concerned about his directorial debut, and the requirements for auditions were high and trivial, she must act well in the scenes being filmed in New York, and she couldn't let go of the audition in Los Angeles, which was the second female of Tom Hanks' debut!
In addition, Mr. Yeremov had already said hello to pre-practice fight scenes for the female vampire character in the Blade Warrior project, so she also signed up for a karate class......
From being nameless to suddenly having opportunities everywhere, she has to survive the most critical period of her career no matter what, so she has been busy on the east and west coasts, and the biggest feature of this broken crew is that there are many women, and most of the call women who play scantily dressed are the most of them.
All kinds of unexpected accidents came together, the mental pressure was getting bigger and bigger, the physiology had been disordered for a long time, and she felt that her whole person was on the verge of collapse, "woo woo woo ......"
"It's starting to ...... again"
As soon as she cried, the other girls in the lounge began to say strange things, but it was good that Gretchen was not there, otherwise they would have quarreled again.
The assistant director will not be soft-hearted for this kind of little trick, otherwise so many girls in the crew would have turned the sky upside down, and he would turn around and leave.
"Call Linda." The fat attendant quietly handed over the phone.
"I don't want to beg him for this!" Charlise thought of the night she got drunk more than a month ago, and ...... "Gross!" to the other two girls. She recalled the absurd scene and immediately began to revert to her stomach, covering her mouth and running to the bathroom.
"There's a lot of drama." There was the ridicule of the other girls behind him.
"That ......"
The fat follower followed up loyally, "Call your agent?" ”
"Okay, no, it's not this, call my co-agent, Ms. Pensley Kingsley."
The main agent always thought that he was following the path of Mr. Yeremov, and he didn't know anything about himself and APLUS, and if he didn't ask APLUS for help, his kind of Hollywood agent shouldn't be able to handle Spike Lee, but Pykinsley knew, and she had enough to do as one of CAA's top agents.
"That old woman is hard to reach." The fat henchman pouted.
"Let's fight, I'm only one step away from getting the second female in Tom Hanks' project, shouldn't she help? After all, she can also get a commission from me. Charise said.
The call was successfully answered by Kingsley, and about half an hour later, the assistant director's attitude softened, saying that he could change the role and help her get out of the day tomorrow.
"Isn't that the end of it?"
She was in a much better mood in an instant, sneered at the girls who were destined to not be popular, and left the set with her head held high proudly.
