Hollywood legendary director

On March 25, during the day, the commercial street near Santa Monica Square.

The streets are full of traffic and people are weaving, and the first-line brand shops on both sides are dazzling, very rich in money.

As the most prosperous pedestrian street in Los Angeles, here is a shopping paradise for women.

At this moment, the third floor of a commercial building.

Mel Gibson was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, with a newspaper spread out on the table, the headline of which was particularly striking.

""Micro Love" has reached the top box office champion of the week, and director Lehmann's new work is like a rainbow."

It makes people feel dazzling.

Boom boom boom.

The door was knocked, and when Mel Gibson turned around, his assistant broke in breathlessly.

"Boss, just called from the 20th Century Fox, saying that next week, our movies will be reduced in theaters and schedules."

"Well, I got it."

"Do you want to put a little pressure?" the assistant suggested.

"There are more than a dozen movies in the U.S. that are going to be released in a month. Is it possible to stop others from showing it? We have been fishing for more than half a month, so we must give others a chance."

Mel Gibson looked as usual, with a faint smile on his lips, "Remember to notify Fox and remind them to promote funding."

Said so, but in my heart I can't wait to get rid of other movies.

Where can I make money?

After all these years, I have finally released a hit. I just thought about making a big profit. Whoever thought that Lehman would come up with a love-themed movie, and in a blink of an eye, most of the market’s scourge was gone.

At the end of last year, "Chain Saw" was only released, and the profits were soft.Now in the March off-season, another one suddenly appeared.

So fast, hurry to reincarnate.

Mel Gibson was melancholy and aggrieved.

Looking at the good situation, "The Passion of the Christ" rushed all the way to the 200 million box office mark. It was suddenly ambushed and pulled down halfway, and now it has to shrink the theater.

You must know that "The Passion of the Christ" was produced by 20th Century Fox, but his Aiken studio did not invest money in it. It was another more serious collaborative shooting. The entire film was invested 25 million US dollars.To put it bluntly, when a group of people agreed to shoot such a subject, they were so guilty that they didn't dare to make a big deal at all.

After all, if the audience does not buy it, it will not lose too much, at least keep the word of mouth, and use it to redeem the prize-just like "Brave Heart".

In short, the market is not good, the awards come together.

However, Mel Jebson is a discerning director.

Perhaps it was the release evaluation of "Brave Heart" that woke him up, and he realized some tricks in filming.

So the religious film that was originally thinking about going to the Oscars and exploring in depth has become a bloody cult film covered in a gimmick.

Then, when the movie was released, there were two things he didn't expect.

1. The audience scolded very harshly, even if they were shooting Jesus, they would scold them;

Second, the more fierce the scolding, the greater the controversy, and the results are actually good, which is considered to be a bad fight.

Moreover, Mel Gibson is not a director who takes these into account too much, so he scolds him. At least, some people in the industry have rated him fairly well. Many film critics regard money and the face of dealings with him in the past. If you can blow it, you won't say that public opinion has collapsed.

Just as he was sitting in the company, watching the data rise and excited, "Micro Love" was released.

Originally, he hadn't put this movie or didn't think there is any overlap between the theme of love and his work. The audiences are different, so it's not enough to make money for each.

It's a pity that too many viewers are disappointed by this schedule, and the reality is that the face is fast.

It took only 4 days to directly lock the weekly box office champion, or take it from the "Passion of the Christ".

Then, I knew that my films had been squeezed directly into more than 1,600 theaters, and the production volume was less than 20%.

It's even more congested now.

Without the theater line and the number of films, where will the market box office come from?

There is no box office, then...and make a fart of money.

Moreover, are the audiences all brain-dead?

The evaluation of "Micro Love" on the Internet is actually very good. Can such a theme and such a movie have an 8.0 score on IMDB?

There are also rotten tomatoes and freshness. Why did "The Passion of the Christ" become rotten?

Mel Gibson began to wonder if "Micro Love" hired the navy like him to score points?Or better than him?

What is "love is the trace of life"; what is "watching a movie to make people cry"; what is "not enchanting or pretentious".

There are so many positive comments of this kind, and it is said that they are not brushed?

He really feels so.After all, this matter is not a secret in the industry. In the beginning, no film was made.

It's a pity that he didn't want to think about it. Even if he did it, why there are so many people who scold him, and the score has not risen.

Mel Gibson has never watched "Micro Love", but it does not mean that he cannot have such thoughts.After all, are colleagues an enemy?

If you don't let me make money, who will give me a good face.

Making movies is a gambling-style business of making money with your fingers.

Whoever rises up will eat the largest portion.

Many ordinary movie fans who don't pay much attention to shooting information are not like this.

When I read the newspaper or go online, I learned that a certain movie is currently showing and the box office is very high. The first reaction is definitely willing to see it.

Such blind obedience to the market is also a direction for the adjustment of theater chains.

Mel Gibson lightly picked up the newspaper on the table, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.

Blocking people's money.

He picked up the phone, his voice was flat, "Come to the office."

Hanging up, he looked at the assistant again, "Go and find some public relations companies."

"Hot?" Mel Gibson chuckled, "Isn't it going to come out with some hype."

I think that when "Brave Heart" was released, the box office was almost meaningless, and it wasn't that it was also to make a splash with Sophie Marceau.

Although the investment of more than 70 million yuan, the North American box office is only 130 million yuan, and the global total is 210 million US dollars, which is a lot of loss, but the subsequent redemption is also covering some.

What he wants to do now is to repeat the previous operation.

After all, Monica Bellucci relies on "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and the influence is not small.

A little bit of digging is promising.

As for being rejected, it's impossible.

The scandal is only, the audience is happy to eat melons, and the parties involved have nothing to lose. The big deal, I am looking for a special newspaper to explain it seriously.

Such methods are almost rotten by Hollywood, but they still work well.Well, the entertainment circles all over the world are so good.

Sure enough, Monica Bellucci didn't say anything at all, and directly agreed.

After all, hype will also have a bearing on the popularity of actresses, and there is no need to pay, why not?
