[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

Claire and Dawn worked very well together, and the editing and post-processing were very fast.Because she has to release the film in a hurry, otherwise she will not be able to apply for this year's Oscar if she misses the time.

Because Oscar has a lot of requirements, in addition to stipulating that the requirements for applying for a film are that the length of the feature film is longer than 40 minutes, shot with a specific film, shown in some specific commercial theaters in Los Angeles, and advertising and marketing during this release In addition to the development in line with industry practice, there are also many requirements for the screening time.

Claire has already missed the last best showing, so she has to wait until the next best showing.That is December of this year, around Christmas.This release time is before the Oscar nominations are announced, and it can maintain the freshness of the public. Generally speaking, it is the best release time.

Although the time was a bit tight, Claire didn't rush the schedule indiscriminately, she would rather lack time for publicity.She still spends a lot of effort in post-processing, trying to make every frame exquisite and not redundant.

Claire is still preparing "Millionaire", but Marvel's "Iron Man" has been prepared early and will be released soon.They dare not delay the progress, and the huge arrears just make them suffocate and uncomfortable.

They were eager to get Iron Man into the market and find out.

Claire has been running there a lot these days, because she herself invested in the movie, and she can't watch the movie hit the street, so she is doing her best to make the movie better.Claire gave a lot of suggestions to the crew of "Iron Man", all of which were flaws in the film that she could see could be improved.

Bob is very grateful to her, because Claire is helping them completely for free, and he wants to put her name on the producer.

Claire has an indifferent attitude towards this, and also allows Bob to promote this behavior.

The promotion of "The film producer is Claire Dorries" is as effective as any famous director.

"Iron Man" became popular before it was broadcast.

Before that, not many people paid attention to this Iron Man hero.The most famous character in Marvel comics, Spider-Man, has been declining in popularity among young people in recent years, and can only survive on the old audience, not to mention the [-]-line superhero Iron Man.

Superhero movies are not very popular in the first place, and DC, which is considered to be a good filmer of Batman, didn't dare to watch it a few years ago.

So, Iron Man's original situation is not good at all.

But because of Bob's publicity, Iron Man is being talked about more and more.

--------------

"This is the manga movie produced by the director Claire. It should feel good. Why don't you go and see it?"

"Iron Man? I don't know if there is a manga movie called "Ghost in the Shell" that looks good? Okay, let's go and see it."

"Superhero, the poster is pretty good."

Such conversations took place outside dozens of movie theaters in Los Angeles.

The result is that most viewers who watch the film are fascinated by the glib, handsome playboy.

"My God, how can Robert Downey Jr. be so handsome?"

"Iron Man is too cool, it's super cool after watching it, and the viewing experience is great!"

With the news of the success of the theaters, Marvel has enough funds, so they increased the number of theaters where Iron Man was released, and finally it was released in many overseas countries.

"Iron Man" cost about 3.9 million.But it finally won a national box office of 1.8 million and an overseas box office of 5.7 million, for a total of [-] million US dollars in the global box office.

Claire earned 30.00 million from it at a rate of 1.71%, leaving about 1.2 million after paying various taxes.

Investing in Iron Man made her four times her capital.

After having this money, Claire asked Ian to pay off all the loans she had taken on, and after the repayment, there were still 7000 to [-] million US dollars left.

Claire put 3000 million in the company's infrastructure upgrade and recruiting talents, and she didn't move the rest of the money because she planned to invest in the future.

She tasted the sweetness from it, because it was so profitable, which allowed her to pay off the debt at once, and it could also bring a wave of upgrades to Phoenix.

As a director, you may only be able to make one film a year, but the investment is different.As a result, Claire paid more and more attention to Hollywood's current form and film plans.In the past, she loved to stay at home watching movies and reading books, and went to the crew to practice skills. The rest of the time she didn't step forward, and she didn't pay much attention to other things.

Because after these few actual experiences, she truly felt and understood why such a big director as Spielberg Cameron would eventually turn into a producer and the role of the chairman of the company, and then she chose to complete a project like them. The transformation from wage earners to investors has brought more pressure.

She sighed very much: "Now I am someone who is supported by someone from a company. How can I do without making money."

Claire's act of using Iron Man to take over a billion dollars also made herself and Phoenix famous.Many people with ideas have already invested money or scripts in Phoenix, hoping to reach a cooperation with her.

Ian, who has several roles, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Claire already has enough money to hire the finance and CEO talent elite.

Phoenix gradually got on the right track and had a rough prototype.

Claire also worked with Industrial Light and Magic to complete the film of "Slumdog Millionaire" while taking care of both ends.

The film's rating and reporting went smoothly.

As a film with almost no bloody exposure and an optimistic core, "Slums" was unsurprisingly given the G grade by the American Motion Picture Association, that is, the public grade, and anyone can watch it.

There are many G-level high-grossing works such as "Toy Story". Since it can be watched by all age groups, the average box office is much higher than other non-all-age-rated films.

The rating of "Ghost in the Shell" is not for all age groups, but it is currently ranked first and highest in the world movie box office list.Even Clare, who is most confident in it, had to say "lucky".It is really because the films of all ages have gone a long way than others. It can be seen from the fact that only three of the top ten films in the global box office are not of all ages, and the remaining seven are of all ages.

So Claire got this rating without any surprises, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now she is not the one who needs to take the initiative to find theaters and sell her movies to them.Not in the past, she used to make movies for big companies like Paramount, and Paramount has its own theaters, so Claire didn't have to worry about the release.She didn't have to worry about it, except that "Frida" was difficult to release because of Weinstein.

It's the same now, with her current position, many theaters are vying for "Millionaire", and she negotiated with many theaters without much effort, so she easily completed the early preparations.

She didn't know much about publicity, so she gave it full power to her newly recruited public relations talent, and put the publicity department in charge of it.

After warming up for a few months, she set her sights on the Lunar New Year stalls.

Lily, the director of the Propaganda Department, was a little worried: "As far as I know this year, there are many movies with big directors and well-known actors. For example, Martin Scorsese's "Infernal Affairs", such as Leonardo DiCapri O's "Blood Diamond", Kate Winslet's "Motherhood", Meryl Streep's "The Devil Wears Prada"... How about we change the time and not be affected by these films preparing for the Olympic bid, Proceeds will not be distributed.”

Claire shook her head: "Actually, this movie is going to bid for the Olympic Games just like them."

Lily suddenly said: "That's no wonder. Originally, I proposed this because I wanted to get more benefits. It's not for the benefits but for the Oscars, so I don't worry about it."

Lily smiled: "I'm more worried about them at the box office." She is ambitious.

Claire was noncommittal, but no one could predict the result. She smiled: "If the plan does not change, you will be busy for a while in the second half of the year. Oscar PR is a very labor-intensive task."

She responded repeatedly, her public relations ability is very strong, she has an Oscar record in her hands, and she also has experience in other three European awards.

Lily also has experience in Oscar PR, which is why she was hired by Claire with a high salary.

And she saw that "Millionaire" had great potential, so she was full of energy.

After three months of warm-up, "Millionaire" was released before Christmas amidst the expectations and discussions of many people.

The Lunar New Year stalls in North America this time - after Halloween and before Christmas, there are large crowds.

The competition for blockbuster movies is unprecedentedly fierce, and netizens called it "sleeping in the cinema in December".
