Chapter 592: Trust

"So, you just killed that serial killer so simply!?"

Charlize looked at Charlotte strangely.

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Hey, Sally, what do you mean by that look on your face as a serial killer?"

"That's what it was!"

Charlize was unconvinced,

"Although it was a criminal who was killed, even the few times you experimented with Death Note before, you did kill several people with spells, right? What is not a serial killer!?"

"That's okay!?"

Charlotte was dumbfounded.

Then, he deliberately pretended to have a vicious expression,

"Are you afraid of me, then?"

"Scared!? a little!"

Charlize said this, but her small action of biting her lips revealed the thoughts in her heart,

"I felt like I was married to Frank Fast the Punisher! ”

- Frank Fast the Punisher, one of the superheroes of Marvel Comics.

Unlike other traditional superheroes who can try not to kill as much as possible, the Punisher is a dark superhero.

He will simply and neatly take out criminals with brutal and bloody means.

- From this point of view, Charlize has some truth in saying that Charlotte is like a punisher.

- Of course, this also exposes the fact that Charlize is not afraid of Charlotte because of this.

In this regard, Charlotte has to admit that her wife really has a big heart.

- Although, it is very likely that this was tempered after seeing countless ghosts and evil gods with him.

"So, as the wife of the punisher, should she fulfill her duty as a wife?"

Since the other party was not afraid, Charlotte naturally took the opportunity to make a joke.

Especially, since Ovilia was born, because Charlize wants to recover her body, the two have not done it, which really makes Charlotte a little unbearable.

But Charlize frowned,

"The recovery time is about the same, but I feel like there are some areas in it that may not have fully grown yet......"

"That's it!"

Charlotte was a little disappointed, but then he remembered that there seemed to be something else he could use.

So, he muttered a few words in Charlize's ear, and the latter seemed to be a little moved......

At this time, it was already the third day after the American premiere of "Sherlock Holmes".

And in addition to the United States, Canada and Mexico also premiered yesterday.

Instead, Sherlock Holmes is in England, where for some reason the premiere may not be until the second week.

Charlotte wasn't in a hurry.

In other words, Warner, who is in charge of the distribution, is more anxious than him.

- Because "Sherlock Holmes" did really well at the box office in the United States.

It broke 50 million on the first day and 48 million on the next day.

- Before Sunday, the box office of this movie in the first week has already reached the achievement of breaking 100 million.

Even the sequels to some hit movies, such as Star Wars Prequel 1, which was released last year, are not so exaggerated.

- Charlotte's film is completely inconsistent with the law that the box office performance of original Hollywood movies is lower than that of sequel movies in the first week, and the box office results are simply terrifying.

Of course, for Charlotte, this is not an unusual.

Among the movies he filmed, except for "Detective Hell" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which are two adaptations, the others are all original films.

And the premiere results of these films have also become better and better with Charlotte's continued success.

Especially after "Detective Hell", the premiere box office of Charlotte's films has left the premiere box office range of original films, and is completely on par with the sequels of popular movies.

On the one hand, it is because of Charlotte's continuous success that Hollywood filmmakers and even the audience have a sense of trust that "Charlotte's production must be a high-quality product".

- This sense of trust makes many viewers willing to walk into the cinema just because of Charlotte's name without knowing the specific plot of the movie.

- There are both die-hard Charlotte fans and a lot of relatively sane viewers.

Everyone thinks of Charlotte's work, unlike other movies, and always wants to wait for others to try it in the theater first, and then decide whether to watch it according to the other party's recommendation.

"If you are interested in the work of director Charlotte Booth, you don't need to wait for other people's opinions, just buy a ticket to see it, and you will not be disappointed!"

In the audience survey of "Sherlock Holmes", there are a large number of similar claims.

And audiences who hold this point of view, as long as the film made by Charlotte is the subject of their interest, they will naturally walk into the cinema in the first few days of the movie's release.

- It was they who gradually pushed the box office of Charlotte's movie in the first week to a rather unnatural level.

And the more audiences who hold this view, the more daring the distribution company of Charlotte Films will be to invest large sums of money in promoting the film before it is released.

- This kind of treatment of large-scale publicity in advance used to mostly belong to the sequels of some popular movies.

This is another reason why the box office of Charlotte's films is becoming more and more perverted in the first week.

After all, shrewd businessmen don't see rabbits and eagles.

For original films, in the absence of box office data support, even the seven major Hollywood companies dare not bet heavily on publicity.

They usually prepare two sets of plans -

If the box office data of the first and second day of the movie is average or even poor, the investment in publicity and distribution will be gradually reduced or even directly cut off in order to quickly stop losses;

On the contrary, if the data is good, they will quickly invest the funds and manpower that have been prepared long ago, and hype up the popularity of the movie as soon as possible to obtain more profits.

- Although according to the habit of sharing between Hollywood studios and North American theaters, as the showtime increases, the box office revenue will be more and more distributed to the theaters.

In other words, waiting until the film is released for large-scale publicity is not good for both the production and distribution companies in terms of revenue.

But given the safety of the invested capital, the distributor of the film will still do the same.

- Unless it's a sequel to a hit or an adaptation that is highly topical or originally had a lot of fans.

These works have their own aura of being able to draw the audience into the cinema.

In this case, the distributor will dare to invest in large-scale publicity before the release of the film.

That's one reason why Hollywood generally believes that sequel movies are more likely to be successful and have higher box office firsts.

And now, through the 100% box office success rate of eight of her works in the past seven years, Charlotte has made her work's credibility reach a status on par with the sequels of popular movies, and distributors naturally dare to invest money in his publicity.

Take "Sherlock Holmes" as an example -

Because of its trust in Charlotte, Warner directly won more than 4,000 open screens, and has been promoting the film since the Oscars ended......

- In this case, the box office explosion of "Sherlock Holmes" is logical.
