Hollywood legendary director

On Saturday, May 24, the weather was still sunny.

With the old man rising up early as usual, he climbed up to his job, and the city of angels, which was silent for a short time, returned to its former noisy.

On the streets, there is a flow of people and traffic.

The cinema also ushered in a new batch of little sheep.

Although "Bad Guy" was released two days ago, for another part of the audience, only the rest day is the beginning of their viewing.

And as the sun rises above the sky, the box office statistics of the previous day have also come to an end. The market achievements of all the films being released have also passed to the corresponding film companies, which has also made more people think about it.

Hollywood, in the Paramount Pictures Building.

Shirley Lansing had just entered her independent office. Before she could sit down, Cliff Thompson, the head of the marketing department, knocked on the door and walked in.

This middle-aged, somewhat blessed white man with a big belly holds a document in his hand, smiles on his face, walks with wind, and has a good mood that can't be concealed.

"What's the matter?" Shirley Lansing asked.

"President, good news." He smiled, his eyes narrowed into a small slit, which made people suspect that he was closing his eyes to talk to people.

"Go ahead, Cliff."

She turned and sat on the office chair and motioned for the other person to sit down too.

The fat white man didn't refuse. After sitting on the sofa, he opened the papers in his hand and reported on his work. "The box office results of "Bad Guy" have come out yesterday."

"Has it met expectations?" Shirley Lansing asked.

Paramount Pictures made the expected results in the preliminary market prospect survey and the 26.32 million U.S. dollars obtained on the day of the premiere-breaking 100 million in the first week. This is also an ideal goal that can be achieved by the top-selling movies in North America.

In order to achieve this result, the next daily box office market must maintain the level of the first day. As for the decline, all talks will cease.

"It's not just about meeting expectations." Cliff Thompnoson raised the file in Yang's hand, feeling a little excited. "Just yesterday, we got another $31.25 million at the box office. President, our goal may be even greater. It’s almost finished, and the next day’s increase will be more than 25%. This means that if the crowd’s enthusiasm for watching movies can be maintained, we will be able to break 100 million in four days at most."

"What?" Shirley Lansing was a little surprised, even faintly unable to believe it.

If it can be said that on the first day of the screening, it can be said that it is based on the fan base of the actors to get a higher score, then it can rise on the second day, which definitely means that ordinary passerby fans are also strongly supporting.(Star movies such as "Mission Impossible" are a typical fan market economy, and their results in the first three days are often better than their market results in the next week or two combined, and they often have the highest box office on the first day.)

"Bring me the documents," she said, standing up.

Cliff Thompnorson respectfully handed over the document, and Shirley Lansing took it and looked at it carefully for a long time, only to confirm that the yesterday's market performance of "Bad Guy" was indeed true.

"With this momentum, we may have to increase our propaganda efforts and try our best to get more potential audiences into the cinema." Cliff Thompnoson did not forget his own job because of joy, and softly suggested.

This is also the unanimous view of the senior management of their marketing department.

Shirley Lansing calmed down upon hearing Cliff Thompson's proposal.After all, she took the position of CEO of Paramount after all the hard work. Even if the annual earnings report data was bleak in the past two years, and she was at the bottom of the top six consecutively, many major shareholders behind it were dissatisfied, but she Personal vision and ability are beyond doubt.

"Brave Heart", "Forrest Gump", "Titanic", "Trumen's World", "Saving Private Ryan"...These films are all filmed and released under her management. , And got good results.

It can be said that she will not be the most mainstream operating method on the market now-to develop a series of movies, because under her direction, the only "Mission Impossible" that can be handed out is still Tom Cruise leading it, but by looking People, she has always been very accurate.

She has always believed that Lyman-Rates would be Paramount’s best partner, and even more so, letting go of the domestic market and allowing Europa Pictures to get a share of the market will only maintain the close cooperative relationship between the two parties. But this kind of rapid success still gave her a sense of surprise, as if she had discovered a piece of gold, and beside her, there was a gold mine hidden.

Moreover, the current situation is that the box office of "Bad Guy" is still up the next day. According to this calculation, if you are more optimistic, it will exceed 100 million in four days. Then, how much can the box office reach in the first week?1.5 billion?Or 200 million?

The corners of Shirley Lansing's mouth rose slowly, and an imperceptible smile appeared.Can choose to cooperate with Lyman-Rates before he became famous (when "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood").This move is really right, and he can always give people a very profitable market return.

"Cliff, you immediately contact Noriman Kuwait, President of Viacom Group Media Department, and ask him to help his 39 local TV stations to push the trailer for "Bad Guy" all day long, and, Contact those variety shows and arrange a schedule for a concentrated promotion in the next week." (Viacom Group is the third largest media company in the United States. Paramount Pictures can be regarded as its subsidiary, but independent Too big, anyway, the relationship between the two parties is still very close, and the channel resources will basically be used by Paramount.)

"I'll do it right away."

After Cliff Thompson left the office, Shirley Lansing thought for a while, then asked for a call from the secretary desk and dialed Lehman's contact number.

"Hi Lyman, are you still in Los Angeles?"

"Well, at the hotel." In the high-end suites of the Waldorf Astoria in Los Angeles near Beverly Hills, Lehman answered the phone with some doubts. It is rare for the president of Paramount to call him in person. Any questions?"

"Congratulations to the big movie sales, recently..."

Shirley Lansing talked about Paramount's decision to increase propaganda on the phone, and hoped that Lehman and other creative staff would cooperate with the propaganda, and then said that he would hold a celebration reception, which was equivalent to a celebration party for him.

The former Lehman naturally agreed, as for the latter, he still expressed the meaning of not worrying and delaying it.

After hanging up the phone, Lehman began to write a sub-shot script for the new script project.

Love movies? It's a brand-new genre subject. Naturally, we must be fully prepared.
