Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Summer vacation sequel movie melee

The box office war has officially begun, from local advertising to TV media, from expert soft articles to event gifts. All studios have spent a lot of money on publicity to promote the film. Among them, Disney even waved its hand and launched a weird activity where you can buy movie tickets and win tickets to Disneyland.

Warner took a look at it and said, “Hey, Disney, you are not a good person. You actually stole the tower from behind.” They also launched the same activity of buying movie tickets and drawing Universal Park tickets. Be prepared to fight head-on and see who is more attractive.

A number of creative staff, including Johnny Depp, Claire and Keira Knightley, have also launched a massive global publicity campaign. As overseas markets contribute more and more to the box office, Hollywood film studios and stars are traveling abroad more and more frequently.

On the one hand, the rising tide lifts all boats and the frequent doubling of investment amounts makes it increasingly difficult for producers to recover costs in the North American market. Take the investment cost of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” of about 250 million. If you want to be profitable in the North American market, you must get a box office of 750 million. This is an almost impossible task. It must rely on overseas markets and the DVD disc market that will continue to grow in order to achieve profitability.

“Claire, do you have the idea of producing the “Twilight” series with our Disney Pictures!” Disney’s Robert Iger smiled and squeezed over to greet Claire.

“Haha~ Boss Egg, you think too highly of me!” Claire rolled her eyes at the old man in her heart. Good guy, this old boy is so thick-skinned. Seeing the IP series in his hands, he was so greedy that he came over so shamelessly to get a piece of the pie!

“Claire, who dares to look down on you in today’s Hollywood!” Iger waved his hand, “Only by himself, he produced a series of movies with so little cost and effort. It really makes us in the film industry feel ashamed. Ah!”

Although Robert Egger’s words were a bit exaggerated, they were not lies at all. Today, Claire will no longer look at him as just an actor.

From “The Notebook” in which he participated in the investment for the first time, to the production of “This Man is from Earth”, to the huge hit “The Twilight Saga”, and the anticipated sequel “2: new moon”. Claire’s vision and luck in film selection are enough to make veterans who have been in the industry for decades blush. Almost all of them are small productions that achieve big box office results, and the investment profitability is so high that people can envy them.

As a commercial film actor, Claire is undoubtedly extremely successful. There are two major series of IPs: “Spider-Man” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”.

As a producer, Claire is undoubtedly more successful, holding the hen that laid the golden eggs of “Twilight”.

Robert Egger was filled with emotion: “Claire, you have also seen with your own eyes how our “Pirates of the Caribbean” series has struggled to get to where it is today. It is really difficult to run a movie series well!”

” Egg, what you said is indeed…” Claire has indeed witnessed the birth and difficult development of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, as well as the “Spider-Man” series. It is really difficult to continue filming. , it is necessary to coordinate the interests of all parties, pull back the fierce horses in different directions, and seek the greatest common denominator of interests.

“So, I am now very worried about the follow-up production of your “Twilight” series of movies!” Iger’s words seemed to have something to say and a serious meaning. “Now, I don’t know how many giants in Hollywood are watching your treasure flow. Where’s the saliva…”

“This…” Claire was a little confused. Is this old boy threatening her or caring about her? Or half and half?

“Claire, if you want to choose a partner, I believe Disney will be a good choice!” Iger said very seriously in promoting his company, “Besides, during the release process of the first film, our cooperation was also very good. Pleasant!”

“Okay! Thank you, Mr. Egg! I will consider it seriously when I go back!” Claire replied.

“Yeah! That’s good!” Egg returned to his good-natured smile, and walked over to the others with a smile on his face.

…

“Claire, why have you been chatting with President Iger for so long! It was not convenient for me to go have a drink with you just now!” Keira Knightley seemed to have had a few drinks and was a little tipsy as she spoke.

“Well, it’s nothing!” Claire couldn’t say more, “Come on, let’s go have a drink!” ”

Okay~ Let’s go, I’ll take you there, Claire!” Kayla didn’t think too much, grabbed Claire, and walked towards the door. Squeeze over where there are more.

While the creators of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” are working hard to promote around the world, the entire Hollywood is also looking forward to the first-week box office results of several summer movies. Who can aspire to the championship!

As box office data from various places are gradually collected, the numbers that everyone cares about will also be unveiled.

“Dear colleagues! Let us celebrate together! The North American box office of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” in its first week has reached 180 million US dollars! It surpassed “The Lord of the Rings” and “Superman” in the same period and grabbed the weekly box office championship. The throne!!!”

Because of the impressive box office results, everyone gathered together again to hold a celebration banquet. Just listening to Robert Egger’s voice on the stage was very excited and his face was red.

“The sequel to “Lord of the Rings” also received more than 100 million US dollars, which was more than 60 million less than our “Man’s Chest”; “Superman 2″ did not even exceed 100 million US dollars, and our box office was a little more than twice theirs. Maybe in normal times, getting 80 or 90 million is a very good result, but in this competition, it is not worth mentioning! Our movie once again broke through the North American box office!” “”Superman

” The reputation of the movie “2” seems to have collapsed this time! Many people complained that it was a continuation of the movie. It did not continue the story line of last year’s “Superman 1″, but started from scratch. It was very ambitious, but it was not done well, and the plot collapsed. ..”

“Haha, Claire, just this one battle has reduced the pressure on your “Spider-Man” series! So far, “Spider-Man 1” and “Spider-Man 2” have exceeded their tasks, and preparations for “Spider-Man 3″ How’s it going? When are you going to start filming?” Someone made a joke about Claire.

“The script of Spider-Man 3 has been sorted out, and preparations for the movie are starting!” Claire smiled without saying a word. God knows how much effort he put into preventing Spider-Man 3 from falling apart. Otherwise, he will be the one everyone is making fun of.

…

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” broke the box office record set by the “Star Wars” series, raising its performance to a height of 180 million. This number is impressive.
