I’m in Hollywood Chapter 963: Developing Easter schedule
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The last set of shots was completely without any difficulty. More than ten minutes later, in the cheers and congratulations of everyone on the set, the cave release scene of "Iron Man" came to an end.
Arranged a deputy Director responsible for finishing work, Joss Whedon came to Eric who just unloaded Mark1 armor and asked: "Eric, I will check all the shoots materials of this time tomorrow, you Do you want to come together? "
At the beginning of "Iron Man" shoots, José Whedon was worried that Eric would be too involved in the production of the film.
However, in the past half a month, he has no worries in this respect. Even, Eric's occasional guidance during the shoots process has benefited his rookie Director, who is the first time to make a big production film. Joss Weiden now sincerely hopes to get more advice from Eric .
After the plot in the cave shoots is completed, the set in the studio will soon be demolished to make room for other films.
Therefore, once the shots of this part of the scene need to be supplemented, it will be very troublesome. Naturally, Eric also wants to make sure that it is foolproof. Although tomorrow is Sunday, when I heard the invitation of Joss Weiden, Eric agreed without hesitation Down.
Several core creators of the movie got together again to discuss the shoots arrangement next week, and Eric left the studio.
Notice that until she left the studio this time, she did not see Miranda Kerr. Eric asked the two Carolyn women who were with her: "Have you not returned yet?"
Carolyn shook his head: "No, I called ten minutes ago. Carter said they were planning to go back and should take off now."
Today ’s shoots ended early, and it ’s less than five o’clock, and Eric is not in a hurry. Nodded, he walked to the office of his administrative district and planned to deal with some companies by stitches.
Eric walked into the office, just turned on the computer, Carolyn knocked on the door again, and handed him a folder: "Eric, this is what you ordered on Friday, the film list of the movie released on Easter, Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Fox's related film details and marketing plans are also in it. "
In the face of more and more crowded summer and new year stalls, Eric has been thinking of developing a new popular season since last year. In addition to step by step expanding the summer and spring festival release cycle, he first paid attention Put it on Easter.
In the plan, the ‘RealD’ and ‘4200’ plans to promote 3D and IMAX movies will be implemented by the end of next year.
At that time, there will be no shortage of 3D and IMAX sources in the New Year file. Currently, there are two first episodes of "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings", but only a few 3D and IMAX sources in the New Year file. Obviously it can't be supported to the summer file.
Therefore, Firefly must release at least two 3D and IMAX movies in the six months between the end of the year and the summer, to ensure that 4000 3D screens and 200 IMAX screens will not be embarrassed by the lack of film appointments. Of the six months between the New Year's file and the summer file, the Easter file is undoubtedly the best time to launch new sources.
Easter is the time for United States students to have a spring break, and teenagers happen to be the group most likely to accept the new film projection mode.
Speaking of it, the Easter period has always existed, and Hollywood will launch many movies every year during Easter.
It ’s just that in the past, all Film Studio attitudes towards the Easter period were just taking advantage of the students ’vacations, and earning more or less, if one or two Box Office dark horses could be burst out, it would be even better. Due to the fact that it has not been taken seriously, there has never been any major production movies released during the Easter period.
Once the ‘4200’ plan is implemented, the situation will be different.
Since it is still in the film age, the production cost of each film copy is between 1000 and 2000USD according to the length of time.
Although the production cost of a single copy is not high, but this number is multiplied by two or three thousand, the expenditure becomes very huge.
Only a few thousand copies of the film during the film distribution process cost millions of USD. The dual-mode 3D movie directly doubles this cost, and the cost of expensive IMAX film is equivalent to the average Ten times the film.
The film released in 3D and IMAX mode, just making a copy, the cost may exceed 10 million USD. Under the current circumstances, it is not necessary to produce medium and low-cost movies with a budget within 50 million USD to enter the 4200 theaters in the Eric plan. Therefore, two years later, the first song of "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings" will be filed during Easter 2000 3D and IMAX movies can only be large productions.
In order to ensure that the Easter schedule movie will not be lost, Eric intends to develop the concept of the Easter schedule with great fanfare from this year.
Of course, this process is probably just like cultivating a shopping carnival such as Double Eleven or Black Friday, which is not too complicated. It is nothing more than improving the quality of the movies released during Easter, and increasing publicity and marketing efforts to attract more viewers into the cinema.
In the materials in hand, Metro Goldwyn Mayer intends to launch the main film "Species" during Easter, and the production cost is 35 million USD, which is considered to be a medium-cost production.
Speaking of this, the Heroine of this science fiction horror film was originally supposed to be Natasha · Hunschüch. At the age of 14, Natasha · Hunschüch, who debuted as professional model, was also a member of the Victoria’s Secret army.
Eric heard the girl talk about the audition for this movie last year, but did not intervene. In the end, Heroine of the film fell on Hollywood. Another very beautiful actress Heather Graham was SH SH Graham in The new line last year's "Boogie Nights" also has a very good performance.
When casting the role of "Iron Man", Eric directly assigned the role of "Vanity Fair" female reporter Christine · Everhardt to the Victoria’s Secret legion. Linda · Evangelista, because Eric does not allow the Victoria’s Secret angel and Li Zi to fall in love, gave him a nickname of Jealous-Daddy in private, and it is true.
Since I have created the Victoria’s Secret Corps myself, Eric never minds holding up this group of beautiful babies higher. Of course, this is not without benefits. The higher the Eric holds the Victoria’s Secret army, the greater his influence in the fashion circle.
Natasha Henschy didn't get the role of "Species". After Eric released the quota, he saw that Natasha Henschy had participated in the audition and gave this character to her.
Perhaps with a little bit of anger, because the prospect of "Austin Powers2" is very pessimistic, Elizabeth took out this unreasonable spoof comedy as the main movie of Fox in the Easter period.
Finally, the new line of a romantic comedy called "The Wedding Singer", the lead actor is Adam Sandler.
If you compare the budget, the new line of "The Wedding Singer" is the lowest of the three movies, the production cost is only 18 million USD, probably only half of the production cost of "Species", and it can not be compared with "Ace Spy 2" 30 million USD Compared to the production cost.
However, among these three movies, Eric is actually the most optimistic about "The Wedding Singer".
Because he happened to remember this movie, in the original time and space, the Heroine of this movie was Drew. Although the specific Box Office of "The Wedding Singer" is not clear, Eric knows that the meaning of this movie to Adam **** is almost the same as that of Kim Carey's famous work "Dumb and Dumber".
This time, the girl will definitely not mix this low-cost romantic comedy, but the Heroine that replaces the girl is Aniston, which is naturally the result of the intervention of Eric. After reconciling with Aniston last year, Eric just saw that the new line was picking Heroine for this romantic comedy, and then let the chick try it out. 《Friends》 has entered the recovery stage, and it is now the time for Aniston to develop into the movie circle.
As for the lead actor Adam Sandler, he has served as screenwriter and Actor in "Saturday Night Live" since the early 1990s. As the resident of Actor, the longest-lived variety entertainment show of North America, Adam **** has become a household name in United States. .
Many people often confuse rotten gangs led by Adam **** and Ben Stiller. But in fact, Adam **** is not a rotten gang member, but a self-contained family with a very obvious personal style. The rotten gang members focus on the vulgar comedy with no lower limit, but Adam **** is more inclined to the more intimate romantic comedy.
Of course, as the star who often dominates the Hollywood low return ranking list in memory, Eric's attitude towards Adam **** is similar to, or worse than, Kim Carrey.
Kim Carey still has the international Box Office appeal, but most of Adam **** ’s comedy is the same as the rotten gang drama, and the Box Office appeal is limited to the North America homeland.
Therefore, I probably cooperated with Adam **** for several movies. Once the other party's compensation and project production budget exceed the acceptance range of Firefly, Eric does not intend to cooperate with the other party. After all, Firefly is not short of projects, and at the same time, the risk of comedy movies is actually very large. Once it becomes a big production, the chance of loss becomes very high. This is also why Adam **** often tops the list of low returns. The reason for the championship.
Even if Box Office is good, the profit estimates are basically in the hands of stars such as Adam Sandler. Film Studio often only makes hard money.
The three films, "Species", "Ace Spy 2" and "The Wedding Singer", although they have not yet reached the expectations of Eric, they are enough to support this Easter period.
Eric hopes to put in a big production movie, but on the one hand, after several years of outbreaks, the big production projects in the hands of Firefly are all in the development stage, which is entering a trough period. I want to do this at the earliest Can only wait until next year. On the other hand, whether it is Metro Goldwyn Mayer or Fox, although they have several large-scale production films that can be arranged in the Easter period, at the scale of the production of these two companies, they have projects that even have summer and new year files. Dissatisfied, it is impossible for Eric to ask the two to abandon the hot schedule to run as a cannon fodder for expanding the map.
After reading the information in his hand, Eric picked up the phone and called Elizabeth for a few discussions. Until Carolyn knocked on the door again, telling Eric that the helicopter had returned, Eric had to pack up and go home from work.
Leaving the office building, Eric came all the way to the helipad, but saw a group of seven or eight girls enchanting females gathered around Miranda Kerr, but they had not left.
These girls are basically the same age as Miranda. Since they are all children of the wealthy area of Beverly high school, they are dressed casually during the spring tour, simple shirts and jeans, and many are also ponytailed, which looks invincible and energetic .
Noticing the appearance of Eric, seven or eight girls immediately screamed in surprise, and gathered together.
"Wow, it really is Eric."
"I thought Miranda was lying to us."
"Eric, can you sign us?"
"..."
Twitter, twitter.
Eric suddenly has a big head.
He never dislikes being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, but the most disliked ones are too noisy girls.
It seemed that I felt disliked by Eric, and the girls gradually calmed down, but they still boldly surrounded Eric and asked if Eric could invite them to Cliff Peak Manor to see the shell villa.
Eric is coping, but Miranda has already led another girl to come.
Eric was dissatisfied with this Nizi ’s self-proclaimed idea. When she saw the girl with Miranda, her expression suddenly seemed very surprised.
The girl is not too tall. Compared with Miranda who has grown to one and seven meters, she is just over Miranda ’s shoulder. A long blond hair, the face is not amazing, but it looks very green, and there is a small mole on the right cheek.
Noticing that Eric looked at herself, the girl had a little nervousness in her eyes, but she quickly took the initiative and introduced herself: "Mr. Williams, hello, I am a student of Miranda, my name is Scarlett, Scarlett · Johnson. "
Eric did n’t expect to meet the former Black Widow here, but it did n’t feel too weird. Scarlett Johnson has been debuting a few years ago, Eric has seen this girl in several films The figure, just never cared too much.
