Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
At the end of May, "Ghost" was officially filmed in shoots of New York Manhattan, and Eric returned to Los Angeles with the crew to start post-production.
At the same time, with the North America large and elementary schools beginning to take vacations, the summer vacation in 1990 officially arrived.
On May 25th, Universal Pictures's "Back to the Future Part III" and Disney produced Bowei International's "Firebird Attack" were released in more than 2,000 theaters.
The production of the movie "Back to the Future Part III" is quite hasty. After all, "Back to the Future Part II" was only released at the end of last year. As for the reason, it is almost the same as last year when Columbia restarted the "Ghostbusters" series after five years.
Universal ’s parent company MCA and Japan Matsushita Consortium ’s acquisition negotiations have entered the final stage. In order to sell MCA at a good price, Universal Pictures needs better performance support.
Because of time constraints, although this "Back to the Future Part III" was produced by Spielberg as the producer and Robert Zemeckis Director, but after the film was released, it was criticized by the majority of film critic. Even if there is a large part of the series of **** fans, the first three days of the weekend still only take To Box Office of 19million USD.
However, if compared with another movie released in the same period, the results of "Back to the Future Part III" can only be described with bright eyes.
That is Disney's's "Firebird Attack", this is a story about the pilots of the US Apache Apache Force. Compared with the disputes caused by the quality of the "Back to the Future Part III" film, it was released after some hot publicity. The subsequent "Firebird Attack" immediately became a dumb bullet, without much splash.
This movie is very similar to Tom Cruise's famous work of getting 350 million USD Box Office in global, so it was occasionally mentioned by film critic on newspaper, and it only came to the sentence of "bad imitation of" Top Gun "".
The same is the opening of 2000 painting theaters. "Firebird Attack" only got the poor 6 million USD Box Office. This Box Office result made the theater Manager who signed a two to three week contract with Disney complain.
After three weeks, this film that invests in 30 million USD will face the fate of the lower grade, including the distribution cost.
This movie will bring Disney at least a loss of 30 million USD.
The first shot of Disney in summer turned into a dumb bullet. Eric should have been very pleased.
Because of the protagonist of this movie, Eric is not happy anymore.
Because the actor of this movie costing 3000USD is the actor of Nicolas Cage, Eric this version of "Ghost".
On the morning of May 29, when the main creators of Eric and "Ghost" had just walked out of the Los Angeles airport, they were blocked by a large group of paparazzi and asked Eric's views on "Firebird Attack".
Eric got up early in the morning and drove back to Los Angeles. He did n’t know anything about Firebird Attack.
How could there be any opinion, plus the enclosed paparazzi problem is full of speech traps, Eric is even more unlikely to respond in a hurry, and can only rush away in silence under the protection of the bodyguard.
But his silence is obviously not a good solution. On the next day, tabloid newspaper appeared the news that Williams was asked about the cold face of "Firebird Attack". The article talked about Nicolas Cage from Eric. Soon, the goal will be transferred to "Ghost" which is in the later stage.
It happened that there was an example where the hasty production of "Back to the Future Part III" caused Box Office to be unsatisfactory. Many media began to question the quality of "Ghost".
When things went up and down, Eric had already left Los Angeles and flew to San Francisco.
After all.
This kind of thing can only be dealt with by the Firefly and Disney's propaganda departments. Eric only needs the agent to make some statements.
I believe that Disney has just experienced a failure of Box Office, and will certainly not be taken lightly in "Ghost".
Although Los Angeles to San Francisco are not too far away.
It only takes more than an hour to fly, but because I have been busy, Eric has not been here for more than a year. I came here last time to buy Pixar.
Over the past year, Pixar's affairs Eric have been handed over to John Lasseter. The two of them communicated by phone most of the time. Even if they need to discuss things in person, they are John Lasseter to Los Angeles.
Because Eric did not hesitate to inject funds, Pixar is no longer the shabby animation studio that shrank in the small building of Richmond City in San Francisco Bay more than a year ago.
At this time Pixar Headquarters has moved to a small town called Emeryville near Berkeley.
The number of employees has also increased to more than 300, and there are more than 100 engineers who provide technical support for 3D animation production.
Compared with the scale of the Pixar when it was just acquired, the current team can't describe it with luxury.
"John.
Compared to Jobs, my Boss is like an angel, right? "Hugging with John Lasseter who greeted him out of the Pixar office building, Eric said the first sentence.
"Of course, Eric, let's go in.
"John Lasseter knew that Eric was joking with himself, and after shaking hands with Alan and Joanna behind Eric, John Lasseter said:" Of course, Eric, let's go in.
"Eric followed John Lasseter into the office building, pretending to be unhappy and said:" However, "Toy Story" I originally promised to invest in 30 million only, but now, the money you have spent is close to 30 million, but I even The shadow of the cartoon was not seen.
"John Lasseter even knows that Eric is not blaming him, but it is still a little calm, previous life's" Toy Story "first part was completed under extremely difficult circumstances, so the cost is only 30 million USD, and many details are quite rough. /
After receiving sufficient financial support from Eric, John Lasseter as an artist's perfectionism tends to cause trouble, and budget overruns have almost become a sure thing.
Therefore, the animation has only been completed by two thirds, but the cost is close to 30 million USD. Fortunately, John Lasseter is not spoilt like Cameron. After all, he does not have 100% confidence in 3D animation. To minimize the impact and losses that may be caused by failure in the future, John Lasseter consumes funds to be very restrained.
And previous life, because of the success of "Toy Story" first part, the cost of second part soared directly to 100 million USD, and the cost of the third part was as high as 200 million, which shows that in the pursuit of perfection, the John Lasseter as Director is the same as James Cameron. Humanoid, he is just not as crazy as Cameron.
