Chapter 122 Summer File (Ask for Subscription)

There are a total of five schedules in North America, of which the summer schedule and holiday schedule are the most important (including Thanksgiving and Christmas).

Under normal circumstances, large-scale commercial productions and films with good potential will be released during these two schedules.

Compared with last year's summer file, there are "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", two films that are popular around the world.

This year's summer file is a little deserted.

Of course, this is only relative.

As the first batch of films to be released in the summer, "Die Hard 3" produced by Twentieth Century Fox was not ideal at the box office.

On the contrary, "Batman Forever" produced by Warner Bros. swept the summer as soon as it was released, with a box office of $52.78 million in the first weekend.

Next, "Apollo 13" produced by Universal Pictures and "Pocahonta" produced by Disney are equally extraordinary.

"Apollo XIII" grossed $25.35 million in its opening weekend and "Pocahonta" grossed $29.53 million in its opening weekend.

Two consecutive films have been screened, which completely kicked off the summer file.

However, in the summer file, the two films "Die Hard 3" and "Braveheart" released by Twentieth Century Fox did not meet expectations at the box office.

"Braveheart" is a film co-produced by Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount, with a budget of up to $72 million, the famous Mel Gibson, who is a producer, director, and starring in multiple positions, and the heroine is also the famous Sophie Marceau.

Unfortunately, the box office of the film is not ideal, and the North American dollar is only 75.06 million US dollars, which means that it is almost impossible to recover the cost through North America alone.

Twentieth Century Fox's sad discovery that it seems that the summer file no longer belongs to Twentieth Century Fox.

Compared with the beginning of the previous summer season, "Blair the Witch" was a big hit, with a North American box office of more than 100 million US dollars and a global box office of more than 200 million US dollars, in addition to publicity expenses and printed copies, Twentieth Century Fox only paid $800,000 for the buyout rights.

In addition, Twentieth Century Fox also has blockbuster films such as "True Lies", "Life and Death", and "Chainsaw" released.

However, in such a situation, Ryan's third film, "Invasion of Evil Spirits", began to kick off the promotion.

Twentieth Century Fox has budgeted $2.7 million for this purpose, and in addition to the traditional channels for horror films, a number of feminist organizations have been invited to make a significant donation.

In fact, Twentieth Century Fox had to increase its publicity budget, hoping that Ryan could once again become a box office dark horse to avoid the impact of facing the unsatisfactory box office of several films in the summer file.

Ryan didn't ask much about the promotion of "Evil Spirit Invasion", and focused on filming.

However, Lei-Sancheni frequently delivered news, and even came to Toronto in person to discuss with Ryan the promotion plan for "Evil Invasion".

"Unit 2 moved a little further, moved a little bit. ”

"Lighting artist, dim the background light, and remember to highlight the facial contours of the hero and heroine. ”

"Charlie, your facial expressions aren't in place, look indifferent, don't be so shrewd. ”

"OK, everyone, do it again. ”

"Truman's World" 77th Scene 5 Shots 3 Times, Start. Ryan shouted.

The next moment, Nicolas Cage, who had just been drenched in a very strange rain and was soaking wet, returned home, pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room, Charlize Theron was wearing a very sexy pajamas, put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced at Nicolas Cage, who was covered in water, and asked, "Like a soup chicken, where have you been?"

Nicolas Cage's mind was all about raising money to leave town, saying, "If you raise $8,000......"

"So if we can save a little bit, it's enough for us to travel for a year. ”

"And then, be beaten back to your original form, and continue to go back to your old life!" Charlize Theron said with a hint of mockery, "You are no longer a teenager, and you can't be willful all the time. ”

Nicolas Cage didn't seem to hear the mockery contained in it, walked up to Charlize Theron, crouched down, and defended: "Maybe I was originally a teenager with a young heart. ”

Next, Charlize Theron began to complain, saying, "We need a house and a car, have you thought about this?"

"Besides, we're going to have a baby, and we need money. ”

Nicolas Cage made a somewhat exaggerated gesture and said, "We can have children later and go to see the world first." ”

Charlize Theron stood up, touched Nicolas Cage's face very gently, and said, "You'd better forget that these unrealistic ideas are not true, and I hope you can sober up a little." ”

"Remember to change out of your wet clothes first. With that, Charlize Theron kissed him gently.

Camera No. 3 deliberately gave a special close-up.

"Yes, a great performance. Ryan thinks it's a good shot, so there's no need to keep reshooting," said Sophia, changing the shooting scene to another one. ”

In some details, there are some differences from "Truman's World" in the previous life, and Ryan has changed a lot.

For example, the dialogue between Nicolas Cage and Charlize Theron is more prosaic.

Charlize Theron doesn't flirt too much, it's more like a perfunctory, while Nicolas Cage is more focused, properly Mr. Yes.

Before changing the details, Ryan considered in detail that the union between Truman and his wife was not any love, but a wedding arranged by the program team.

So for Charlize Theron, the current marriage is just a job to earn money, which does not require any emotional investment, and many details of life are perfunctory.

In addition, some small details all imply that there is only a reality show in front of you, not a real town.

At that moment, Sophia began to direct the crew, getting busy, moving equipment, and rearranging the lighting background.

Ryan got up and left the monitor, walked over to Charlize Theron, gave him a gentle hug, and asked, "How's it going, how does it feel!"

"It's okay. Charlize Theron draped a trench coat to hide the looming figure under the silk pajamas.

In fact, the role played by Charlize Theron doesn't require too much acting skills, there are no explosive scenes, and it is somewhat bland.

However, for her, a $35 million project, playing the heroine in it, is still an opportunity to show off.

"Are you going to change your clothes, or are you going to eat first!" Ryan looked down at the time on his watch, estimating that by the time the crew arrived for the next scene, it was already past lunchtime.

"I hate the crew's lunches. Charlize Theron did not hesitate to refuse lunch, choosing to go and change clothes first.

For her, who was born as a model, the various high-calorie foods prepared by the crew are simply a nightmare.

"Charlie, you should eat more. Ryan thinks that Charlize Theron seems to have lost a little weight in the past few days, and the most direct feeling is that the feel is obviously a little worse.

"You can order me an extra vegetable salad. Charlize Theron said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"OK, you go to the trailer to change clothes first, and I'll help you order more food. Ryan waved his hand and turned to walk outside.

The crew chose a restaurant in the town as a dining place for all the crew members, the environment is not bad, and the price is not very expensive.

The only fly in the ointment is that the taste of the food is not very good, almost the same as the taste of a fast food restaurant, and the food type is very simple.

Dozens of dishes similar to those in Chinese restaurants, or even hundreds of dishes, are a luxury here, so not only Charlize Theron has a bad appetite these days, but Ryan's appetite is not very good, and many times he chooses to eat reluctantly.

However, a group of crew members and extras, including Nicolas Cage, Sophia and others, seem to think it's pretty good.
