Become a dramatist from today

"Sir, I'm just the theater manager. I don't know what was arranged above. Mr. Grayson can ask the people at Universal Pictures directly for the specific reasons." The theater manager said, "Please tell me the address..."

Before he finished speaking, Sean's anger ignited from his brain to his whole body, his limbs were also controlled by anger, and his phone fell to the ground.

After all, I couldn't hold it any longer.

The defense was not completely broken, because the direction where the phone was smashed was the sofa. If he could contact Universal Pictures, it wouldn't be so bad. Besides, Sean probably knew why he ended up at the ArcL.ight Cinema (Hollywood store) in New York. Universal Pictures must want to give up on "Waterworld".

As the most popular theater in the Hollywood area, ArcL.ight wants to sell it for road shows. If the movie is popular, it is a win-win situation. But if the movie is not popular, the producer needs to pay a certain amount of "something".

The box office of "Waterworld" and "Green Lantern" has plummeted for three consecutive days, causing the two films to go from 25% to 25% of the film schedule. Today (December 30), after five days of release, only About 13% of the scheduled films were downloaded.

This is how theaters work. If the performance is poor, the show will be withdrawn, and if the performance is good, the show will be added. Therefore, there are many celebrity fans in the country who engage in promiscuous activities and buy one or two tickets for each show to occupy seats, making it impossible for cinemas to withdraw from the show.

These are all leftovers from Hollywood. Otherwise, why do you think Internet ticket purchases in the United States can only be purchased 48 hours in advance?

To sum up, even if your movie is from a giant and the attendance rate is not high, it will still be sold to you, and the theater chain will make money.

Universal Pictures doesn’t want to spend any more money on promotions, no matter how hard Sean works, the failure of a movie cannot be achieved by one person’s post-production promotion.

Wait, if Sean commits suicide and uses his legacy as a gimmick, that seems to be the beginning.

On the sixth day of its release, the box office revenue of "Waterworld" was only 18.35 million, and on the seventh day it was less than 15 million.

Universal Pictures' painstaking work has a global box office of US$140 million in its first week, which is almost the same as the box office predicted by the data department.

The data analysis department is like this. Good predictions are not accurate, but bad news is always accurate.

Where there is a dragon, there must be a phoenix. "Green Lantern" was even worse in its first week, with only 129 million US dollars. It basically cannot be sold overseas except in Hollywood.

"Swordsman 4" created the best record in the series, with a global box office of 451 million in its first week, aiming for the billion-dollar mark.

"John Wick" started with only about 11%. Due to the declining box office, American theaters arranged more and more screens, and the film schedule rate fluctuated at 24% during the week of release.

Qin Xing's large-scale publicity on Twitter and YouTube has also been effective. Coupled with China's help, the results have gradually improved.

While the North American box office on the first day was only over 20 million U.S. dollars, it actually earned 201 million U.S. dollars (430 million yuan in China) in the first week worldwide.

That's right, the box office of Quick Kill is only half of that of "Swordsman 4".

Yes, the stability of the speed kill decline is not as good as that of the swordsman.

It must be admitted that in the subsequent trend, the quick kill is definitely not as good as the swordsman.

but! Jisha, including Xuanfa, has a total investment of only 30 million US dollars.

Compared with Swordsman, which has a total investment of more than 200 million, "John Wick" made a lot of money.

Really making money.

"Mr. Qin, when does John Wick 2 start?"

"We can start filming two or three movies together."

"The original crew, we have to get the original crew back."

Adam called Qin Xing. Compared with the previous Buddhism, he was now very excited and high-spirited. He had returned to Los Angeles the day before yesterday for the half-month trip he had originally planned. He couldn't wait at all.

He can shoot any subject in Hollywood, which also means that he has not produced any masterpieces on any subject. The Fast series is completely feasible!

Tan Xing comforted Adam. He was not dazzled by the good results and objectively analyzed the reasons for the success of Ji Kill: 20% John Li Hao created by Huang Baiyou + 40% He Liuye's action scene design + 10% Adam's execution ability not to mix in private goods at will. +10% for the efforts of other crew members.

The remaining 20% ​​is "the world is accustomed to eating big fish and big meat from Hollywood special effects blockbusters, and occasionally wants to eat a bowl of green vegetables such as action movies."

Taking Qin Xing himself as an example, if there is an action movie with a plot, soundtrack, actors and actresses that are above par, and the fights and surprises, if he is not busy, he will buy a ticket to watch it.

"The Dark Knight suddenly has an investment quota of US$30 million. Is Daydream Pictures interested?" Qin Xing called Huang Baiyou.

Talk about it.

Huang Baiyou wanted to invest earlier, but he really didn't have any share. Tan Xing got the 30 million by kicking someone out of the game.

"Oh? Thirty million U.S. dollars. If you're interested, I'll hold a meeting at the company." Huang Baiyou also probably understood Qin Xing's intention.

The Dark Knight project may not be profitable, but Qin Xing's investment amount is indeed thanks to Huang Baiyou's charisma in Killing.

When you cooperate with Tan Xing, it will be difficult for you to take advantage of him, but at the same time, Tan Xing will not make you suffer a big loss.

Pretty good too.

Two days later, Daydream Pictures confirmed that it would enter the game and invest in the movie "The Dark Knight."

In other words, Daydream Pictures has enough liquidity that it would be difficult for most film and television companies to withdraw US$30 million.

And for such a big matter, it only took three days to hold a meeting and discuss it, which was already a special matter.

There is drama to reward hard work! How could a movie with a popularity of 150,000 people lose money?

Huang Baiyou just left the company and rushed to the gathering place.

The gathering place is the small auditorium of the Beijing Opera Vocational College.

Yu Mo, Xiao Huahua, Dong Gong, Wen Yubing and others have gathered in the hall.

Peanut plays Cheng Dieyi as a child.

Wen Yubing plays Cheng Dieyi in his teenage years.

There are two child stars. The former is 9 years old and is currently in the third grade. He has very beautiful eyes, a round head and round eyes. He is very popular with advertisers and has been endorsed by many children's clothing and children's products.

Xiaohuahua’s masterpiece is undoubtedly the “Cherish Children’s Clothing Light Advertisement”.

The latter had just passed the high school entrance examination at the age of fifteen. He was born into a Liyuan family. His previous four generations had been Peking opera actors. Although he had not appeared in many famous dramas, he had been exposed to it since childhood. Wen Yubing had already appeared on the stage at the age of ten.

"Brother Wen, how do you pronounce your name? I don't know the second character." Xiao Huahua asked.

It’s a joke, not to mention that the nine-year-old little peanut doesn’t recognize it, nor does the adult next to him. The only difference is that the adult knows how to Baidu by himself.

"The pronunciation of kou is the same as kou." Wen Qibing said, "Qi means onion. My mother and father both like to eat onions. I am the child of their love, so I have to choose a memorable name."

"It's not nice to be called Wen Congbing. My father looked through the dictionary for a long time before he found another name for onions in ancient times." Wen Yubing said.

"Oh." Little Peanut nodded.

What Wen Yubing just said is very familiar, which proves that he has said it countless times since he was a child. Dong Gong always feels that the name of this child's parents is too random. An unrecognizable name can easily cause certain obstacles to the child's communication.

Speaking of difficulties, it is even more difficult for black actors to star in "Green Lantern" at the moment...
