American Fortune Life
Chapter 1915: Is It A Little Floating? Give me a slap!
“GOOD! One word, cool! ”
In the Universal Studios studio, with an exaggerated picture appearing on the screen, Andy couldn't hold a smile on his face, clapping his hands and praising him. Although it was not the first time he had seen the B-rated comedy of Hangover, he was still smiled at.
It's a very two-time movie. If the first night of the story is the passive second due to drunkenness, the next day's search for the groom and memory proactively leans towards the second with a sober consciousness.
In order to be able to find and bring back friends before the wedding, everyone is constantly challenging the limits of their “two”, such as taking the initiative to receive a police shock, negotiating with Tyson to transport a tiger back to the villa, and making deals with the Hei Gang, Mr. Chow from Huang Bo flashing out, imitating "Rainman" cheats in the casino, and tuo dancer Charlize Cylon as a couple to cover his escape. The men who were confined to life and had difficulty breathing finally tore the cage apart in the name of their brothers.
Even now, Andy is intoxicated and difficult to pull out of the movie. Bridge segments are constantly rotating in his mind and even buzzing around his ear. The most common story is joy. The first is that the movie itself is actually funny, unintentional, and without sickness and groaning, but its performance is also surprising. What a great satisfaction!
“Smile from beginning to end, not exaggerated at all, no gaps pleasant! ”
Andy looked at the management of the global film industry with the same smile on his face and the producers and directors of the Hangover show group, without complaining about their compliments.
“Mainly the owner of your story, great script.” Director Todd Phillips didn't miss the moment to slap his ass.
“Oh, thank you, but I see improvisation takes up a lot of weight and space in the film, and director, you give the actors a space to play during the shoot to achieve this good result. Very well done!” Andy was delighted with each other's butts, he reached out and patted the director's shoulder, greatly praised him. Others also looked at him with a smile. There was no discomfort with the boss's old pie.
To be honest, the most unexpected achievement of the film was the amazing performance of celebrity star Huang Bo, for which director Todd was not stingy. He praised Huang Bo as a celebrity comedian who, even though he had some linguistic problems, was still able to form a scene with the crew.
And for Charlize's guest dancers, feeding babies to NAI infants is also a highlight, although some of Charlize's restrictive footage doesn't appear in the film, but it's very appealing.
“I'm confident that Hangover will become the biggest black horse of the summer season, and no one will refuse to let them laugh for 100 minutes! ”
In the conference room at Universal Film Headquarters, Andy said with a satisfied smile that the atmosphere of the meeting was very relaxed and harmonious, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces. Since the Universal Film Industry reorganization, it has been unprecedented, several movies in a row have been sold, absolutely the brightest movie company in Hollywood this year.
After Andy's decision to slap the board, the meeting continued downwards, and all the operations during that time, as well as the current situation in Hollywood, were reported to him by his men at 1510.
2009 was a great year for Hollywood, and the American film industry thrived unprecedented, even though the recession had not yet fully subsided. In the face of such a thriving market, filmmakers naturally couldn't pause, and Andy had the urge to look at the plans for several major productions and a dozen films that suddenly appeared in the report.
The people here really don't have any deaths, and they don't want to think about what the Universal Film Industry calls a good year, who is it based on? If it hadn't been for the merger of peak entertainment, how would Universal Film have been brilliant? The peak entertainment program, but he Andy Smith used the quality resources of his memory to build up, and this hasn't taken off yet, and these guys are about to float...
Besides, this good year doesn't mean Hollywood is going to win, and I'm afraid the reality isn't optimistic because Wall Street dropped its capital.
From the beginning of 2009, MG Chase, which was supposed to start jointly underwriting $700 million in debt for DreamWorks, suspended the debt undertaking on the grounds of market instability, which was good enough for founder Spielberg to raise $500 million from Ahsan to break up DreamWorks smoothly and Paramount. However, the latter has recently set aside a $450 million deal with Deutsche Bank, which could finance 30 films, including the sequel to Transformers scheduled for release this summer.
MGM has also encountered some difficulties, and since mid-2008 MGM has been trying to reach a $500 million deal to finance a number of films, including Part 23 of the 007 series and the next Ironclad Willon. MGM has been negotiating this business with the Royal Bank of Scotland for months. But the banking industry was shaken by the collapse of many banks, some of which had publicly renounced Hollywood and stopped investing in the film industry.
Of course, Hollywood's split with Wall Street is not new. Nobody knows when Wall Street is going back, and the message from Hollywood is: Big producers only have big box offices.
However, the risk of issuance increases with the cost of production. High-budget movies can only be profitable if there are more shows and DVD sales revenues globally. And even with good reviews and no sensation, it's a failure for Hollywood. Hollywood calls these big movies "events.” In the distribution mechanism of the global film industry, the main criterion for selecting an "event” film is not the domestic outlook, but the potential of the film in the global market, not only in the box office, but also in derivatives.
“It's not just about doing business anymore," Andy said with some seriousness, "we're all going to face economic uncertainty. This is a good year, but in the future, it's going to get harder for Hollywood, and Hollywood is actually in a deep depression where nobody's been before. ”
Andy waved and asked the staff to distribute a survey data report to each of the executives in the conference room, waiting for a copy and starting to look over, saying, “This big data shows that nearly 66 per cent of American consumers changed their entertainment spending habits during the fourth quarter of 2008 after the financial crisis, and consumers are abandoning their exhibitors and refusing to buy DVDs to embrace big screen TVs and the Internet.
The problem is that the situation isn't suddenly getting harder, it's that Hollywood, immersed in spinning capital marketing, just doesn't notice, after all, audience tastes and habits only deserve more attention in times of depression.
So over the next period, our company's consistent marketing route will also need to change, refocus on small production, study the audience taste during the depression, Hangover will be an experiment, and overseas marketing seems more important than ever, Tian Dynasty Market, we need to invest more energy to open up the Tian Dynasty Market, and look at that Transformers box office in Tian Dynasty in the American mainland pocket! ”
“And save it.” Andy informs all executives present in a courteous but resolute tone, "for quite a while, see how we usually spend money, see what we get from doing this. ”
Looking at the helplessness and bitter smile on people's faces, Andy also knew that province alone could not save much, and that open source was more important than throttle most of the time. Good thing Hollywood isn't losing Wall Street for the first time, and capital may come back to life at the next financial recovery. But, according to the think tank, Hollywood will not have hope of climbing out of the Great Depression swamp until at least 2010.
