Hollywood legendary director

After entering the new millennium, the speed of development of the film industry is changing with each passing day.

Even the sale of movie tickets has special channels for collection.

So generally speaking, the box office statistics on the first day of the show will be available in the afternoon of the next day, or even earlier.

After all, the current theater network data calculations are all using a networked system. If you sell a ticket, you can record one, which is extremely convenient and fast.

......

In the living room of a hotel, Lehman hung up the phone and went around twice in the living room. This suppressed the confusion in his heart, and the joy on his face was gradually replaced by calm.

Because the first-day screening results of 21 theaters have come out, George went to the headquarters of Paramount Pictures in the morning to inquire, and just returned a call to inform him.

Paramount Pictures obtained data that it received more than 25,000 box offices on the first day.

The 21 theaters are all open all night. "Three Stupies in Bollywood" only occupies one of the theaters. The average number of seats is 500. Yesterday, there were 3 shows, and the first round of the movie The ticket price is $6, and the box office is more than 25,000, which means that the average attendance of "Three Fools in Bollywood" in these theaters has reached about 20%.

This result is not bad, no wonder George still congratulated him on the phone.

Lehman quickly told Ryan and Thomas about the results of the box office statistics. Ryan smiled and said: "I want to wait until the expansion begins. We definitely make a profit this time."

"Ha, yes." Thomas also laughed.

Just as Paramount Pictures was considering whether to increase the pace of expansion next week, the box office results of the second day of "Three Fools in Bollywood" surprised everyone again. 21 hospitals The average attendance rate for online screenings is still rising, rising to 32%.At the box office the next day, it also received more than 76,000 US dollars.

The cumulative box office in the first two days has exceeded 100,000 US dollars, and according to this trend, Paramount Pictures’ expansion plan will be implemented without exception. This is also an inevitable law of the market, and no one wants to make a living with the low-hanging profit.

As long as the reputation of the film is guaranteed, the next weekend will be the time period for screenings, and the box office is likely to continue to increase. In this way, the box office of the first week will never be less than $10,000.

Then, it’s time for "Three Fools to Raise Bollywood" to greatly increase the screening scale...

However, it still depends on the reputation of the film. The investment in publicity and distribution like this is limited. It is still an artistic project. Word of mouth is very important.

Since there are only 21 theaters showing screenings, Paramount Pictures also found a survey and consulting company to conduct statistics on the theater. The audience's word of mouth cannot be truly reflected in the media and newspapers, and it is also in accordance with film critics. Evaluation is sometimes separated by a huge gap of one hundred and eight thousand miles.

In North America, there are companies that specialize in market scoring and box office forecasting, but Paramount Pictures can’t count on such large companies to focus on small-scale projects.

Like similar movies, North America will be shown a lot every week, and most of them are three-day theater trips. Who cares about them?

Moreover, it does not cost much to ask a survey and consulting company to do the field survey work. Paramount Pictures is completely willing to do so and can provide the most effective data analysis for the screening plan.

Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The entrance of a cinema.

A movie fan recalled the plot of the movie he had just watched, and called his good friend Amway, "This movie is really great...Yes, it's the "Three Fools in Bollywood". ..... It's shocking... You'll know after reading it yourself... That's it, hang up."

Putting down the phone, he gently rubbed his eyebrows, seemingly immersed, "It's a shame to miss such a good movie. I want to tell more people."

With some thoughts and praise, he left the theater.

In an independent theater in Venice, Los Angeles, a white girl was stopped as soon as she walked out of the theater. Hearing this person ask her about "Three Fools in Bollywood", she said aggressively: "I think the director is too bad , Rancher, such an excellent person, didn't get any good results, and the story behind him didn't say! There is also the episode of the suicide of the senior, can't he be saved! Just like Raja did."

People passed by one after another, and they were all talking about the movie.

"What are the directors and screenwriters called?"

"Lyman Last and Ryan Garcia," the person on the side reminded.

"Yes, these two guys."

"The film is really good." Someone agreed.

"I seem to have the impression of the director's name. Did he make the previous "Buried Alive"? I will go back and look through the list of creative teams at the back of the video to find out."

Another person replied: "It's him, I said in the newspaper yesterday."

"Wow, then he's pretty good, I like both movies he made."

"I don't like "Buried Alive", but I think this one is very good."

"Really talented..."

A roaring sound faded away with the sound of footsteps, and then disappeared.

After watching the movie and having dinner outside, Bella returned home, sat down with a glass of water and rested, and came to the computer.

Since the Sundance Film Festival, she has paid attention to the director named "Lyman Rast".

So, when the movie was shown on the theater line, she went to the theater and contributed a movie ticket, which is a kind of meager support of her own.

The scene in the exhibition hall where everyone stood and applauded to pay their respects in the past is still fresh in my memory.

It's easy to get applause, but how many directors can really satisfy the audience?

After booting up and connecting to the Internet, Bella skillfully opened IMDB, and after a simple search, she found the director Lehman's section.

As early as after the release of "Buried Alive", the other party had his own IMDB number, but at that time his exclusive section was deserted, except for a few sentences introducing the director's personal information and the name of the film "Buried Alive" and IMDB Apart from the link, there is nothing else at all.

However, this time Bella found a difference. Not only did the list of works under his name include "Three Fools in Bollywood", there were also several people who left messages in the discussion group.

"Is there anyone? Wow, it's so deserted. I didn't expect that I was the first to leave a message. Who is the director of Lyman Last? Why is there not even a personal picture on IMDB? Is it so perfunctory? But this director's I like the work very much. After watching the movie in the morning, I still have some inexplicable emotions I want to vent. Well, also, the IMDB official, or is there any kind person willing to add a photo of him?"

This is a message left at around 1:00 pm yesterday. At 15:20, someone left footprints.

"Fuck! xxxxxx"

A series of swear words roared and spewed out, and words in many places were blocked by the website, but it is not a good thing to think about it.

This one seemed to be very angry, and kept complaining, "Where is the rubbish director named Lyman Last? Why did he make a movie like this? Do you know that my girlfriend is here? After watching it, I cried for a long time, and I am still in a bad mood now. I am really angry. He messed up my carefully planned dating activities."

Many people left messages behind them, as if they had committed public anger.

"If it's not today, will there be tomorrow? Do you have only one day to live? Huh? Your mouth is so stinky, sooner or later the scorer."

The man replied, "You're a bitch, how do you talk, what about me, what does it matter to you?"

Another person left a message: "Listening to this, it seems that you haven't watched this movie. Only your girlfriend watched it."

The person replied, "What's wrong? I have something to deal with in the morning, and she went to the theater alone. It was supposed to be a good afternoon to play together, but finally waited until a holiday, but was delayed like this. I blamed Lehman. -Luster’s director, my girlfriend is not willing to go out for anything now, saying that she is not in the mood. My God, when she talked to me on the phone tomorrow morning, she was still happy and agreed to my request."

The person who left the message before was directly speechless, "Uh, how can I say it, I suggest you also watch this movie, maybe you can find the reason for your girlfriend's bad mood, maybe you can solve it."

The man replied, "Man, thanks, I'm going to see what was made in that movie, and I will tell you the situation when I come back."

"How's it going?"

"Where are the people, haven't they come back?"

Further down, someone left a message similar to that, everyone wants to know the follow-up situation of this person.

After flipping through the news around 7 pm, this talent updated his message, "This movie is really good. I have never watched this type of movie before. The first time I saw it, I was touched. I am a little bit I understand my girlfriend's feelings. She is sensitive in her heart. She wants to understand this story better than me. After reading it, I also wondered why there are so many constraints in this world. She is as good as Rancher, but she still breaks free. No more..."

Seeing this, Bella stopped scrolling down.

Although many people left comments, in general, they still lacked attention.

She pulled up the webpage, and the head portrait next to Lyman Last's name was still blank. What does this director look like?She knew it, a very ordinary person, his appearance was far from handsome, but it was not ugly, and the most important thing was his talent, so eye-catching.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a picture of this guy, nor can she help the confusion of these fans who want to know what they look like.

That's how the reputation is too small, even the IMDB official will not notice.

Then, she clicked on the link of "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" under Lyman Rast, the page flipped, and a scoring page appeared in front of her...
