For Film Studio operators, if they cannot maintain a good attitude and do their best to make the worst plans for each movie project, maybe a few movies will come down, they may be crazy. After all, the investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of USD is in a blink of an eye, and such a big implementation is too exciting to stimulate people's nerves.
Whether or not they are optimistic about "Austin Powers", as the Easter period approaches, the last wave of marketing of the three companies is still in full swing.
The movie ’s TV trailer is getting more and more densely broadcast, and various news about the Easter movie package is also emerging, and even some non-Firefly system Easter schedule movies have started to deliberately or unintentionally rub the 'Easter movie package 'Self propaganda on this gimmick.
However, whether it is "Austin Powers2", "The Wedding Singer" or "Species", obviously it is not possible to get film critic happy movies, so before the film was officially released, the three companies did not hold any media trials for the three movies Yinghui.
Unable to see the film in advance, the media naturally began to make guesses based on subjective impressions.
Both "The Wedding Singer" and "Species" are brand new scripts. There is no pre-production base. The media had to focus on "Austin Powers2", which had already released a pre-production and also had the lead in the Easter period.
Although the Austin Powers first part got the Box Office of more than 60 million USD, only North America Box Office brought Fox nearly double the cost compared to the cost, but the reputation of the movie in the media can only be described by a bad word.
In addition to the common Box Office rules of the same type of "Hot Shots" and "Anti-intellect" in the past, most media are not optimistic about the prospects of Box Office in "Austin Powers2". Some media directly stated that Fox has refused to hold a screening , Because film is too bad.
And by analogy, the quality of the other two films is not satisfactory. I have to say that this view has been accepted by a large part of the media.
Compared to this, the only "City of Angels" in the Easter period, which can be called a big production film, held a lively media preview at Los Angeles one week after the Oscar award ceremony, followed by a media evaluation Although it is obvious that some Warner public relations factors are included, the overall word of mouth is quite good. The media that participated in the screening generally gave a score of more than seven points, which is not excellent, but it also reached the standard worth seeing. With the appeal of the Box Office of Nicolas · Cage and Meg · Ryan, Warner Bros. is full of confidence.
So until April 1, due to the spoof attribute of "Austin Powers2", Fox was specially selected on April Fools' Day, and a very small but interesting premiere was held in a theater in Los Angeles The invited guests are basically the media in the three company systems and the more fortunate audience.
The premiere of "City of Angels" is arranged the next day, and the venue also chooses the China Grand Theater where Hollywood movies often hold premieres.
On April 3, the Easter period was officially opened, and "Austin Powers2" was simultaneously drawn on the North America3091 screen. Perhaps due to prudent consideration, Warner Bros. only arranged 2700 early opening screens for "City of Angels".
It's not difficult to understand. In the film age, for a large-scale film, the cost of copying alone is a very expensive expense.
The length of "City of Angels" is nearly two hours. According to the average production cost of about 1500USD per copy and 2700 copies, this expenditure has exceeded 4million USD, enough to make a small-cost movie. The duration of "Austin Powers2" is about ninety minutes. Although the production cost of a single copy is cheaper, it exceeds 3,000 copies, and the overall cost also reaches more than 3 million USD.
Firefly Studios, Eric built the City of Freedom in advance, and the Tony Stark mansion in "Iron Man" can only be redesigned.
The Iron Man mansion in the setting is located on the top of Beverly Hills. Compared with the City of Freedom, the new mansion design is full of angular mechanical atmosphere, which is more in line with the genius engineer status of Tony Stark.
During the shoots process, Larry · Ellison saw the design draft of this brand-new mansion and was very excited to make it a reality. It was compared with Eric at Cliff Peak Manor in Malibu, but he was very good at Cliff Peak Manor. The greedy is too long.
However, after calculating the construction cost of consider as finished, Larry · Ellison has no choice.
Because of the brand new Iron Man mansion, if you want to restore it on the top of Beverly Hills, you need at least 100 million USD.
This money does not seem to be much relative to the 10 billion net worth of Larry · Ellison, but in fact, more than 90% of Larry · Ellison's personal assets are stocks, in order to maintain control of Oracle, Larry · Ellison is certainly unable to easily sell any stock. Most of his remaining assets are real estate such as real estate. Larry · Ellison is actually free to dispose of funds, which is only 10 or 20 million.
Once Larry · Ellison, buying islands for yachts, it was also a few years later, Oracle confirmed the dominance of the database software industry, and the company also generated a large amount of dividend income. The current Oracle is at a difficult time competing with several competitors of the same level for market position. Even if Oracle is profitable, it is all used in the development of the company, and it is impossible to give shareholders any dividends.
Thus, although not talking about it, Larry · Ellison, who naturally likes to live in luxury, was quite envious of Eric during the filming. After completing the part of Hapi Hogan, he only took one. The reason why USD paid too much was a loss. I borrowed a VH-60 helicopter from Eric and flew all the way back to San Francisco with great force. Until now, there is no meaning to return.
Although the mansion in question is located on the top of Beverly Hills, the interior layout is still built in the studio of the studio.
Today is the last day of the week's work, but Bridget · Fonda and Natasha · Hunschüch are on the scene. This is also the scene of the Christine of the pepper and the Vanity Fair reporter in original "Iron Man".
After the camera was completed again, Joss Whedon shouted 'G00d' very loudly, and then said: "Very good, today's work is here, and this is Miss Henschitch's In the last scene, we thank her for her contribution to this film during this time, thank you. "
As he said, Joss Whedon took the lead in applauding, and all the staff around him also put down their work and applauded. Although everyone at the beginning thought that Natasha · Hunschüch only got this role because of Eric, but during this time, Natasha · Hunschüch's outstanding performance was also obvious to all.
Natasha Henschy was also somewhat lost in excitement, standing in the courtroom and bowing to everyone politely: "Thank you, thank you everyone, and I am very happy to work with all of you."
Everyone be polite, Natasha first walked into the dressing room under the leadership of the staff. She just wore a shirt, the hem completely covered the bottoms, and the two long legs did not know to give to the male on the scene. How many benefits have been received.
Natasha left, and others started to get busy again.
The internal scene of the Tony Stark Mansion is completely over as the scene ends. Next, the crew will start a long and difficult location shoots.
Joss Whedon was relieved at this time, instructing the deputy Director beside him to personally supervise several specially rushed workers, carefully packing the surrounding furniture, and sending it back to Cliff Peak Manor.
Although Joss Whedon really ca n’t see why a simple coffee table can be worth 60,000 USD, before the use, the crew bought insurance for these furniture. After the insurance company sent someone to evaluate, They also fully recognized the value of these furniture.
Being busy, Eric and Jeff · Brigis also walked in from outside. They played today before Bridget · Fonda and Natasha · Hunschüch. After the last scene, they both rushed To remove makeup, I have put on my usual clothes.
Talked to Joss Whedon for a while, next week ’s shoots schedule, Bridget · Fonda and Natasha · Hunschüche walked over and laughed and greeted several people together.
After talking about the business, Jeff · Brigis said goodbye and left, Joss Weiden had other things, and walked away, but the two women stayed. Bridget · Fangda finally found a chance and asked, "Eric, Are you free tomorrow? "
Eric looked at Bridget · Fangda's very formal appearance and nodded: "Is there anything?"
"Tomorrow evening, the Coppola family is going to host a party, Sophia, do you remember her? Sophia just finished her first part Director work, she said that you still encouraged her to try other jobs. So, if you tomorrow If available, she hopes you can take a look at her work. "
Eric smiled and said, "Tomorrow evening, would you go to party or watch a movie?"
I realized that I did n’t say much, Bridget · Fang Dadao said: "If you have time, go to the movies tomorrow afternoon, and stay at Coppola home for party at night."
"Tomorrow I will definitely watch samples of shoots with Jos," Eric shook his head regretfully, and said: "So, I will see if I can pass at night."
“Well, that ’s it,” Bridget · Fangda just helped to convey the invitation, and naturally did not behave too eagerly, stepped forward to hug Eric, and greeted Natasha · Hunschüch, just Leave and leave.
Eric took a look around, and said to Natasha · Henskey: "Let's go out too."
Natasha Henschy nodded and left the studio with Eric.
It was just past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the daytime of Los Angeles began to slowly become longer. The two walked on the corridors of the park, which had been full of orange sun, and soon came to the administrative area with less people.
"The copyright of" Underworld "has been bought, but it will take a few months for the creation of script. If it starts, it is estimated to wait until September," Eric and Natasha said casually, suddenly thinking of something, saying: " In this case, you may miss this year ’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. "
"It doesn't matter," Natasha shook his head and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about this time, can I concentrate on the development of Actor, Eric, do you think it is okay?"
In the past two years, the Victoria’s Secret Corps has accelerated the speed of upgrading. Natasha · Hunschüche is twenty-four years old this year. Compared with Cindy, she is naturally very young, but she also knows that she is not a few supermodels that Victoria’s Secret focuses on training. It is impossible to stay on the Victoria’s Secret stage for a long time.
Not to mention, neither professional model's professional life nor personal income is far from that of movie stars.
Eric nodded and said, "Of course," Iron Man "will be released next year, even if you are half-footed into Hollywood. As long as" Underworld "succeeds, you can almost make it into the second line. Can the Hollywood actress be promoted to the first line? Actually, luck is very needed. But as long as you can hold the second-tier position, you will not be short of future appointments. Oh, speaking, Hollywood's demand for vases is still very strong, not to mention your beautiful vases. "
Natasha smiled. She did n’t have any objection to Eric calling herself a vase. She still knew it. Although Hollywood also has very beautiful first-line actresses, like Nicole · Kidman, but the other party's acting skills can actually get rid of her a few streets.
As long as they can gain a foothold in Hollywood, Natasha is already very satisfied.
"Eric, actually, well, I wish I could have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
Eric pointed to the studio area behind him and said, "Are n’t we recently collaborating?"
"I mean, take part in, um, your movie," Natasha said with a lack of confidence, and then he started to retreat, saying: "Am I too whimsical?"
"Of course not," Eric shook his head and smiled, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite you, this is not perfunctory, the key is to really meet the right role. And, strictly speaking, we The expectation of cooperation in the future is still very big. Everyone knows that I have been making commercial films all the time. This kind of film has not so strict requirements on acting skills. "
Although I know that Eric says so, the opportunities for the two to cooperate in the future are still extremely slim, but Natasha is still very happy, saying: "Then I am waiting for Oh. In addition, Eric, do you have any arrangements tonight?"
"Looking at the movie, I have packed a luxurious screening room," Eric nodded, then looked at Natasha: "So, Miss Henschy, can I have the honor to invite you together?"
Natasha didn't even ask what the meaning of the movie was, and nodded directly: "Of course." (To be continued.)
