Chapter 299: Hole Cards
The marshal was actually a little tempted by Portman's proposal, he was used to seeing a large cultural invasion of the moldy country in the original plane, and this plane had the opportunity to counterattack, so why not do it.
But he's a lord who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, and he doesn't believe that Portman is so simple as making demands on himself.
Sure enough, Portman smiled: "Naturally, we will not let the British director rush up alone, we have united many people in the film industry to work together." ”
Ying Shuai smiled noncommittally, what does this have to do with him.
Portman seemed to see his thoughts and said, "I heard that the British director is interested in DreamWorks, and we can help with this and make a match." ”
Yingshuai smiled and said secretly, it is easy to deal with smart people, and you don't have to bother yourself.
You are happy and I am happy, so Yingshuai also said: "Okay, deal!"
。。。。。。。。。。。
In fact, the movie is most afraid of a bad start, once the premiere is hyped, unless the quality of the film is really not good, it is generally overwhelming.
So this killer is not too cold, and won the North American weekly box office championship for three consecutive weeks, and the fourth week began to fall off a cliff.
Ying Shuai knows that the box office potential of the film is almost exhausted, but in fact, it is a big surprise that the film can reach this point. The film is indeed a classic, otherwise it would not have been in the top three of the rating list for a long time in the original time and space, but classics mean that you need to keep savoring, to put it bluntly, it is not enough popcorn, such a film is actually suitable for facing the computer at home, slowly self-indulgence, not slow taste.
Therefore, the North American box office of the original time and space killer can exceed 100 million, although the version of this world has added imaginative special effects to increase the watchability, but in the end, this film is still more literary, coupled with a depressing tragic ending, it has to be said that it is a miracle that the box office can break through 600 million moldy gold.
It can only be said that the influence of the Jewish consortium in Hollywood should not be underestimated, and the real topic of Natalie's search for relatives is indeed very hype, so such a miracle will happen, but Yingshuai knows that such a miracle is indispensable, so after the fifth week, he let the film go down normally, and there is no need to brush the box office record on a literary film.
Bite!
"Defeat the Legendary Director quest and complete 3/5 of the mission, rewarding 100 XP points and increasing the Charm of the Rewarded Director by 20%. ”
What the hell is the director's charisma value? The first time the handsome received a reward other than the real thing, he was also a little blind.
"Hosts, you should feel lucky, there is no reward of this attribute nature. "The phylogenetic bacteria are starting to get better.
"Does that actually do anything, like make me more handsome?" Hero began to develop his own reward function.
"Actually, it's of no practical use, and it doesn't make any real changes to the host. The system said.
"That's an egg!" Hero muttered and quit the system.
Yingshuai was not surprised by the completion of this task, in fact, David Fincher's film was suppressed at the beginning, who made him a short-sighted boss.
This kind of big production, if he is willing to invest money in publicity, with his appeal, there is still hope to rise, but Martin thinks that he has invested so much in the early stage, and the hope of recovering the cost of publicity and distribution is really minimal, so he chooses to reduce the cost of publicity and distribution, and hopes for David Fincher's appeal to create a box office miracle.
The results have proved that reality does not believe in miracles, of course, Yingshuai stands at the height of insight into the two worlds, Martin's idea is not necessarily wrong, the original time and space Benjamin Button's strange affairs, the production of 150 million plus more than 100 million publicity costs, the global box office is 320 million, and the loss went to grandma's house, and this kind of literary and artistic film, the peripheral income of the film can actually be ignored.
So Martin's measures to reduce publicity in this world are a lot lower than the loss of the original time and space, Benjamin's cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 100 million, and the global box office is expected to exceed 200 million, although it is 100 million less than the original time and space box office, but the publicity and distribution are also saved by 100 million, and the maximum that the 100 million box office producer can get is only more than 40 million.
Well, the world's media doesn't think so.
"Oily guys get out of the movie industry!"
"Laymen guide insiders, David Fincher's new film suffered Waterloo. ”
Needless to say, the spearhead of the film's failure is pointed at the boss Martin, and David Fincher also raised some dissatisfaction in an interview, such as according to his assumption, a little more budget can shoot more satisfactory results, so that the film may be more than so box office.
Ying Shuai read this report, but he was a little disdainful of his statement, the director of the film failure is the first person responsible, there is no doubt about it, he must have apologized to the audience for the first time, and then considered others.
He has also seen Benjamin's film, which is much worse than the visual effects of the original time and space, and there is no way, the filming time is advanced, and the CG special effects are immature, and it is really not a matter of money to achieve the effect of the original time and space.
However, pointing the finger at Martin is actually a more desirable situation for the British coach, and he will not cry out for him, at most he will only talk to you about his views in private.
Bang!
Martin slammed his glass on the screen, which was playing a clip of David Fincher's interview.
"You white-eyed wolf, I invested a lot of money to make a blockbuster movie for you, and now the film is made like this, do you blame me?"
He turned off the TV angrily, although the film suffered heavy losses, but it is not completely without hope of recovering the cost, the development of this kind of literary film is difficult, but the income of follow-up videotapes and online on-demand will not be less at all, but it takes a long time, but what he lacks most now is time.
The negotiations between Viacom and Paramount entered a stalemate, and Martin didn't expect Salam to see the failure of David Fincher's new film, so he actually overturned the original offer and directly lowered the offer by 20%, so angry that he didn't want to talk about it, but the other party didn't care.
Thinking of Salam's expression, Martin was even more angry, but he couldn't make the box office soar, and the failure of a big production with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment would cause the company's stock price to fluctuate greatly no matter which company it rested on.
"Hmph, Salam hopes you don't regret it!" Martin said viciously.
"Ruth, have you arrived?" Thinking of this, Martin picked up the phone on the table and dialed the secretary.
"Boss, the people have arrived, and I was about to go to invite you. The secretary heard the smell of gunpowder in the boss's voice, and didn't dare to whisper.
"Very well, invite him to the reception room, remember to take my best cigar and tequila, and I'm going to celebrate the success of the partnership with him. Martin said.
"Yes! but... Ruth hesitated.
"But what! get ready!" Martin was a little upset, and this Ruth dared to ramble with himself because she knew how to order cheese.
Ruth heard that the boss was angry, and hurriedly agreed, but secretly scolded the fat pig for being ruthless.
Martin hung up the phone and smiled meaningfully, which was his biggest hole card.
