The Best Entertainment Era

Embassy Pictures, the offline distribution department.

The constant ringing of the phone made everyone in the office extremely busy. Since Gibbs arrived at the company at 8:30 in the morning, he has been answering the phone and taking notes without even having time to drink saliva.

The colleagues around him were no better than him, all of them looked serious and busy with the work at hand.

This is the first time that the offline distribution department has been so busy when the movie has just been released.

In the past, the online publishing department and the publicity and marketing department were the busiest at this time, and the offline publishing department was preparing for future offline publishing.

Gibbs took advantage of the restroom to pass by the online distribution department and the publicity and marketing department, and made a special observation. These two departments are also very busy, but they are not as busy as the offline distribution department.

Pirates of the Caribbean seems to overthrow all the previous working models!

When he returned to the office area, Gibbs answered a few more calls. The number of calls gradually decreased until it was close to eleven o'clock in the morning. When he got off work at noon, he picked up his notebook and walked into the department director Terry's room. office.

Director. Gibson handed over the notebook and said, This morning, a total of 31 distributors from my side requested to increase the shipment of Pirates of the Caribbean peripheral products as soon as possible. According to their first-hand data feedback, the peripheral products of the film Sales volume exceeded our expectations by nearly three times.

Terry glanced at the notebook and said, You communicate with the manufacturer and the logistics company as soon as possible.

Gibson said, Okay.

Sales of Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise are booming. Even Terry didn't expect that as of midnight yesterday, the day after the film was officially released, the merchandise sales of merchandise exceeded 6 million US dollars!

Anyone can understand the huge business opportunities contained in this.

Moreover, the profit margin of peripheral products is extremely high, and the profit share of Embassy Pictures can reach a quarter of the sales!

Terry is also a little fortunate. Fortunately, the company has made sufficient preparations in advance. Not only does it stock up, but it also temporarily rents the warehouse of the logistics company. Market dynamics delivery of goods.

With Pirates of the Caribbean earning a box office of 24.8 million US dollars on the first day, and against the background of continuous increase in Saturday's film schedule and attendance rate, time is money for the offline distribution of peripheral products!

According to the situation on Friday,

The sales of peripheral products on the two rest days of the weekend will increase, and the sales of peripheral products in the first weekend should exceed 20 million US dollars.

Looking at it now, the success of the company's first top-level production is a foregone conclusion!

Embassy Pictures and even Relativity Entertainment as a whole will inevitably get involved in more top-level big productions in the future, and the company will inevitably have greater development.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Thomas, the director of the online publishing department, pushed the door open and walked in.

How do you have time to come? Terry asked curiously.

Look how busy you are, Thomas joked.

Terry shrugged: Busier than you anyway.

Thomas couldn't help laughing, and asked: The head office has issued a notice to all the managers, asking us to go to the theater to see Raiders of the Sky for ourselves.

Terry just found this notice inexplicable: Why should you support the box office of Raiders of the Sky? Because we have been cooperating with Warner Bros.?

The films under Relativity Entertainment have been shooting in Warner Studios, and the new Batman project in cooperation with Warner Bros. has entered the official shooting stage.

Probably not. Thomas shook his head: It is said that this is what Ronan meant. It is estimated that Ronan has some thoughts that we don't understand.

Terry's inexplicable disappearance immediately disappeared without a trace: Ronan's vision has always been far-sighted, which is not something we can easily understand.

Like when Ronan started the Pirates of the Caribbean project, most of it was incomprehensible, but it turned out to be everything.

Terry recalled a little, and found that there are many similar examples.

When do you have time? Terry asked.

Thomas thought for a while and said, How about tomorrow night?

Okay! Terry agreed, Let's go together tomorrow night.

Others need to adjust their time to watch Raiders in theaters, but Ronan and Jessica Felton went to a theater in Century City on Saturday night to see this very special movie produced by Warner Bros. hero movie.

After watching the movie, the two went to a restaurant in Century City Shopping Center for supper.

Jessica Felton ordered some food at random, and asked very curiously: This film has a very bad reputation, why did you ask me to watch it together?

Ronan said: Because this film is very special.

Jessica Felton was even more curious: Because Warner Bros. is a partner of Relativity Entertainment? She then denied: It's not like your style.

At this time, the waiter brought the food one after another, and the two chatted while eating.

Ronan took a bite of the crispy potato cake and said, Jesse, don't you think that every failed film is a painful lesson?

Jessica Felton nodded lightly: You're right, this film is not only problematic with the plot and character setting, but also poor editing and lack of lens logic...

Probably because of talking while eating, she shook her wrist, and the vegetable salad on the fork fell off.

Fortunately, Jessica Felton was already prepared and tied a napkin on her chest.

Ronan glanced at the stain on the white napkin and said, You've got an old problem.

Jessica Felton picked up a paper towel, gently wiped off the stain, and said in a shaking Taileno, It's too big to be troublesome.

Ronan didn't seem to see the trembling mountain, and said: So, the stains left by eating are always on the chest of women, but on the belly of men.

Jessica Felton couldn't help laughing: That makes sense. She joked a few words with Ronan, and then brought back the off-track topic: You must watch this Raiders of Heaven Is there a purpose?

Ronan did not answer directly, but instead said: Most of the film and television copyrights of the Avengers in Marvel Comics are now in the hands of Shahai Entertainment.

The Avengers? Although Jessica Felton is a technical nerd, she also knows what the Avengers are, and when she thinks of the Raiders of the Sky she just watched, she suddenly realizes: You don't want to Shooting an Avengers movie, right?

The two parties have been partners for many years, and Ronan also trusts Jessica Felton very much, saying: It is true.

Jessica Felton gets it: So, you want to see why Raiders of the Fallen failed so you don't make the same mistake in the future.

Ronan nodded: Yes. He continued: I told all the executives of Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures to watch this movie.

Jessica Felton thought for a while and said, It's not easy for such a movie to succeed.

Ronan agreed: It can be said that there are many difficulties in bringing together a large number of heroes with different abilities in the same movie. If it is not handled properly, it will be another Raiders of the Sky.

Jessica Felton is no longer just an editor. She has served as a post-producer in several films in a row, which also broadened her vision, saying: This requires a detailed and huge plan.

She looked at Ronan: You asked me to watch Raiders of the Sky, wouldn't I be a part of your plan?

Facing a smart, independent and capable woman like Jessica Felton, Ronan didn't need to go around in circles, and said directly: Jessie, among my partners, no one is more proficient and good at editing than you. Among the superheroes that Shahai Entertainment holds the copyright to, there are many female superheroes, and there will be female superhero movies in the future, and I also need a female producer with outstanding ability and understanding of real feminism.

So you chose me? Jessica Felton said without any embarrassment, Ronan, you made the right choice.

Ronan said: Go back and think about the issue of Raiders from Heaven.

Jessica Felton nodded: I understand.

Raiders of Heaven also gathers a lot of famous heroes and monsters, which can be called a movie with a large collection of monsters.

The explorer Alan Kottman in Solomon's Treasure, Tom Sawyer in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Dr. Hyde in Dr. Avatar, The female vampire Mina in Dracula's Kiss, the invisible man in The Invisible Man, Dorian Gray in The Portrait of Dorian Gray...

Responding to the call of Queen Victoria of Great Britain, these people formed a Union of Special Gentlemen to fight against the ghosts of madmen who tried to overthrow the world.

After Jessica Felton went home to check the relevant information, she only had one feeling, isn't this the Avengers or Justice League in the Victorian era? Hollywood had the idea of ​​forming a team to fight monsters so early on.

In a way, Raiders of the Sky is a great idea.

But anyone who has actually worked in Hollywood knows that a good idea and a good script are a hundred thousand miles away from a good movie.

This film can be said to be a typical one. It turned an extremely ingenious and amazing idea into an extremely vulgar bad film.

In contrast, Gore Verbinski, the director of Pirates of the Caribbean, is just the opposite. The old and declining pirate theme has been reborn under his hands.

After thinking about it carefully, Jessica Felton also discovered a major reason for the failure of Raiders of the Sky.

Although the heroes and monsters in the film are not unknown, or even famous characters in classic literary works, they are all unfamiliar characters to the big screen and movie audiences.

Can the audience quickly accept a group of unfamiliar characters who haven't clearly told their past on the screen in the same film? Must be confused!

Jessica Felton specially sent a reminder email to Ronan, reminding him that the Avengers plan must be carried out step by step, rather than in a hurry.
