The Best Entertainment Era

The news about Paris Hilton, in April, when the film schedule was relatively light, actually occupied a considerable amount of coverage in the national entertainment media, and even many tabloids have begun to dig into Paris Hilton's growth process.

Paris Hilton's personality can't last too long.

But the degree of topic and attention caused by the wealthy daughter is enough for a small production like House of the Dead with a production cost of only 1.2 million US dollars.

The Emperor Entertainment Group's branch in Los Angeles, Miller received Thomas from Embassy Pictures, and the two sides wanted to finalize the opening of House of the Dead.

Our cooperation has always been pleasant, and Emperor Entertainment will continue to support Embassy Pictures.

For distribution companies that can make money for themselves, Miller has always been very friendly: So, this time we selected 400 theaters to support House of the Dead.

Thomas smiled and said, Thank you for the support of Emperor Entertainment. But Mr. Miller, isn't 400 theaters a bit small?

Miller frowned: Isn't that little? He was somewhat dissatisfied, and said, Thomas, you didn't hold any test screenings for House of Death. The production cost was only $1.2 million.

Thomas' expression remained unchanged, and he said, It doesn't really matter whether the film is good or bad. Paris Hilton has attracted the attention of the public and the media. The first film of this super rich daughter will attract a large number of people's attention and drive many people Buy tickets to watch.

Miller rubbed his chin. He had also read the recent media reports, and inside Emperor Entertainment, including several assistants around him, would occasionally talk about Paris Hilton making a movie.

Thomas continued to smile and said: The cost of 1.2 million US dollars is not a problem. The cost of the films of Sand Sea Entertainment and Embassy Pictures has always been low, but the box office is quite good.

Hearing this, Miller nodded lightly. The films of Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures seem to be the best at using small things to make big gains.

Thomas used his trump card: Isn't that the case with The Blair Witch back then? House of the Dead is a movie operated by Ronan himself.

Miller instantly remembered that super bad movie. No one else knew about it. As the direct person in charge of the release of The Blair Witch by Emperor Entertainment, he knew very well that all the operations of The Blair Witch came from that Ronan Anderson hand.

House of the Dead turned out to be a film operated by Ronan Anderson himself?

Miller couldn't help not paying attention to this!

Emperor Entertainment has increased to 500 theaters. Miller has a lot of power in this regard and made a direct decision: 400 of them will guarantee at least two theaters.

Thomas quickly said, Thank you. On behalf of Embassy Pictures, I would like to thank Mr. Miller and Emperor Entertainment for their support.

Miller nodded, and asked again: Are you ready to copy?

Thomas replied: It will definitely be delivered before the release.

After leaving the Los Angeles branch of Emperor Entertainment, Thomas went to AMC and USA successively to finalize the number of theaters for House of the Dead.

Thomas has traveled to almost all North American commercial theater chains, without much effort,

For a super bad movie like House of the Dead that didn't even hold a test screening, 2,200 theaters were finalized to open.

As the direct person in charge of the online distribution of Embassy Pictures in North America, Thomas discovered one thing. It seems that the theaters pay great attention to the films released by Embassy Pictures. He mentioned that this is a film operated by Ronan Anderson himself. The online side happily added opening theaters.

Thomas is very clear that opening theaters is very important for House of the Dead. Before that, he led people to do research based on past cases. The online release life of this House of the Dead is extremely short, and may not exceed six weeks , or even four weeks will be offline.

As a result, the opening weekend box office will become extremely critical.

Potential audiences must be driven into the theater on the first weekend as much as possible.

Otherwise, when the word-of-mouth of the film spreads completely, although some curious audiences will be attracted, the overall performance will definitely experience a diving-style landslide.

Thomas also made an estimate that the box office of House of the Dead in the first week will account for at least half of the total box office.

This is, after all, a gimmick-fueled crappy movie, and unlike The Blair Witch's sustained attention, Paris Hilton's hype will wear off quickly.

When the public loses enough curiosity about Paris Hilton, House of the Dead will return to its original appearance.

But he also knows that this low-cost film can easily make a profit.

Dead House spent very little on production and publicity. The production cost was only 1.2 million US dollars, and the publicity budget was only 500,000 US dollars at the beginning. Later, after Paris Hilton caused a media boom, an additional 1.5 million was added. US dollar budget, also prepared to hold a small premiere.

The largest investment came in copies, 3,000 copies and related distribution costs, totaling $5 million.

With a total investment of 8 million US dollars, Thomas is very confident that he will be able to recover the cost in the first weekend.

As for how much profit he can make, it is difficult for him to estimate.

On April 20, 2001, the premiere of House of the Dead was held at the newly renamed Nokia Theatre.

The premiere cost only 200,000 U.S. dollars. It can only be said that holding the premiere in Hollywood with this amount of funds is limited. Therefore, the scale of the premiere was small, and no heavyweight guests were invited. The focus of the premiere was Paris -Hilton and her sister group, and director Uwe Ball.

Paris Hilton was the entertainment focus of the media and the public during this time.

Uwe Ball is attracting the attention of media reporters by virtue of his strength.

What I am best at is adapting games to movies. I believe that no one in Hollywood can do better than me.

Facing the reporter's interview, although Uwe Ball looked like an illiterate man with a swollen face, he was more confident than Spielberg in what he said: House of the Dead is just my series of game-adapted movies. At the beginning, I still have a lot of plans in the future.”

This special-looking German director grabbed the attention of many media reporters from Paris Hilton by virtue of his strength.

The reporters saw that Uwe Ball was so confident and had no previous directing experience as a comparison, so they thought he was very capable.

Immediately, a reporter asked loudly: Director Ball, what are your plans for the future?

What Uwe Ball is best at is running the train with his mouth full, and he runs very smoothly at this time: Metal Gear by Kojima Studio, Blizzard's Warcraft and StarCraft...

These are big-name games, and many people who don't play video games have heard of them.

Many reporters looked at Uwe Ball with fiery eyes, as if seeing an ambitious and successful director.

Uwe Ball is very good at bluffing people, otherwise he would not have been the king of bad movies, and he could also fool people into investing.

Very good. Standing by the window on the second floor of the Nokia Theater, Ronan said, There is always room for a talent like Uwe Ball.

Tony Koch, who just arrived from Germany, said: I think Paris Hilton is more valuable.

Ronan shook his head: Paris Hilton can only use it this time, and it won't have such a good effect if it is used again. And Uwe Ball...

He didn't continue talking, Wu Baona is a super director who can aspire to a throne!

Tony Koch asked curiously: Ronan, how did you hook up Paris Hilton? You wouldn't have an affair, would you?

Ronan said lightly: You think too much. He changed the subject: Have the tax refund applications for several new projects been approved?

Basically no problem. Tony Koch put away the joke and said seriously: The single investment of these projects is relatively low. I repackage them and operate them in the name of one-time investment of Koch Films, and get tax rebates. Not a problem. But the approval will be next month at the earliest.”

Ronan nodded: There is no rush, take it easy.

Tony Koch said: I do things, you don't worry.

Ronan smiled: Don't be careless.

Sandsea Entertainment will carry out tax refund operations in Germany for all projects with large investments. The tax refund of 10% of the expected income is also a large amount of money.

Many movies may not be able to have a 10% profit when they are shot.

Like traditional industrial products, 10% can be said to be a high-profit industry.

Ronan patted Tony Koch on the shoulder and said, Let's go, let's wait in the theater.

Audiences have already entered the arena one after another, and there are also sparse audiences on the second floor. However, Ronan and Tony Koch are unfamiliar faces to the audience, and no one has noticed them.

Pedro took a poster of Paris Hilton's character, entered the theater, found a seat and sat down, and found that many people were talking about Paris Hilton.

It seems that many people come to see the goddess Bai Fumei.

For some reason, Pedro felt uncomfortable in his heart, feeling like his goddess was being peeped by wretched men.

How great would it be if you could snatch it home and enjoy it alone?

Pedro's thinking was too active, and he suddenly thought of something strange. How great would it be if Paris Hilton could make a San Fernando-type film just for herself?

After the audience entered, journalists and film critics from the media also came in one after another.

Eric was among them.

Under the guidance of the staff, he came to the third row at the front, and the people around him were basically colleagues.

Eric made a special inquiry before coming here. In the past two years, the embassy film industry has released many popular films, and film critics are also happy to comment on the films released by the embassy film industry.

Movies that are popular with audiences get the attention of film critics.
