Hollywood legendary director

"Jack, is there enough publicity?"

"Oh, really, you just need to be back next week."

"No. Okay, so be it, wait until you come back."

"..."

Jack Gyllenhaal hung up and rubbed his cheeks, trying to make himself more awake.

Half a month ago.

Director Roland Emmerich's attitude towards him is mostly polite.

He can participate in "The Day After Day", in addition to the help of the agent, his own conditions, and the relationship and favor of his parents.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. His dad is also a director and knows Emmerich. Although the relationship is not close, it is always a plus.

When it's his turn to shoot, he actually doesn't pay much attention to him.

However, with the popularity of "Micro Love", he, as one of the leading actors, has been affected a lot. Even the senior management of the brokerage company called to discuss and discuss his future schedule and endorsements.

Yes, there are many brands that want him to endorse, spring new styles of cars, clothes and even household items.

He suddenly became popular and became another darling of Hollywood.

In just a few days, various film invitations continued, and most of them were protagonists or very important male roles.

It was hard for him to imagine this before.

Director Roland Emmerich even gave him a few more days of pretending to participate in the road show promotion, and his attitude was much better.

These are things that have suddenly changed in the past few weeks, giving him an unreal feeling.

Even walking is a bit fluttering.

In contrast, the others seemed a little calmer.

"Today we are going to Mahami (Florida) and then St. Petersburg. The schedule is a bit tight, how about it, everyone, did you have a rest last night?"

In the business car, Lehman said the roadshow location he was going to.

"Not bad." This is Heath Ledger.

"Some sleepy, I want to rest in the car for a while." This is Eva Green.

"I'm fine." Jack Gyllenhaal was a little stiff.

Sophie Marceau did not come because of her inconvenience and Europa Pictures also needed her to cooperate with the promotion in France.

The driver drove, and Johnson habitually reported to work.

"This week's film schedule has been set, 2900 theaters."

"Has it started to decrease?"

"Ok."

This number did not exceed Lehman's expectations.

Generally, the first half of the screening of movies is the most important, and it can basically determine the final box office.

Now the daily box office performance of "Micro Love" is also beginning to decline, and the April schedule is approaching, and there are many new films to be released, so you have to give up your position.

This is also the final sprint stage. In the future, the number of theaters will only be reduced faster, and the prospect of how much you can get in the end is actually somewhat clear.

According to the analysis of yesterday's market data, "Micro Love" won 18.65 million box office, and the attendance rate has dropped more and more obviously. Not only Lehman's movies, but several other movies in the same period also inevitably encountered the same problem.

The market is not enough, and the number of films is definitely going down.

Even some poorly-performing films have already been painted.

"It should be the limit that North America can have 300 million." Johnson thought for a while and said.

Lyman nodded, almost as he guessed.

In the car, other people were indifferent when they heard this number. On the contrary, Jack Gyllenhaal in the back seat looked at a few people and felt a little emotional.

The investment is 15 million yuan and the box office is 300 million yuan.Can you make a lot of money?

I think the reason why he took over the drama at the beginning was mainly the persuasion of the agent. Of course, the script and the role are good, which is also impressive.

Therefore, he played a "Brokeback Mountain" in a bewildered manner, and cooperated with Heath Ledger once, and then cooperated again with "Micro Love".

Looking back now, he had forgotten how Lehmann liked him, how could he choose him?What did the two of us say when we first met?

More importantly, as the second generation of a circle, he has been mixing for so many years, and it is not that there are no big movies.But the problem is that no North American box office can touch the 300 million threshold.

In other words, Hollywood can exceed the local box office of 200 million U.S. dollars a year, not many, they are all series of movies, or the investment is very large.

This is the first time he has a return on investment like "Micro Love".

"What about overseas?" Lyman asked.

"Not very optimistic, after all, it is the off-season of the market, and it would be nice to have 200 million." Johnson replied.

"Yes, after all, overseas regions are not local, and many propaganda methods are not available, not to mention that other regions will produce good movies, but also take into account the share of movies, the upper limit is naturally lowered. Furthermore, love themes The film itself is not well accepted in non-English cultural circles, otherwise..."

Lehman regretted.

He is telling the truth, the big hits overseas are generally special effects blockbusters, which is based on the market.

Few movies with themes such as comedy and love are more popular in overseas markets than in the local market; while themes such as action, thriller, and suspense rarely have such concerns. This is also related to some cultural factors.

After arriving in Mahami, the group participated in several activities, and then ran to St. Petersburg non-stop.

Just as they were preparing to end the road show, although the box office of the movie "Micro Love" has been falling, the total box office total is still steadfastly moving towards the 300 million mark.

On Monday, April 7, 10.21 million.

On Tuesday, the traditional fare discount day, 11.42 million.

On Wednesday, 9.64 million, fell below 10 million for the first time, and the theaters further shrank, leaving only 1646.

On Thursday, 8.82 million.

On Sunday, the report received 7.2 million.

"Micro Love" has a total of 57.65 million US dollars a week, ranking third in the weekly box office list (April 7-13). The champion was taken over by Paramount's "Spicy Girl" with a box office of 86.52 million US dollars.

Ranked second is "FireWire Rescue" released by Twentieth Century Fox, with a box office of 75.64 million US dollars.

So far, the total box office of "Wei Ai" in North America has accumulated to 28.62 million US dollars.

As expected, the arrival of competitors will inevitably compress the market of "Micro Love". Several newly released movies have entered the battlefield and have become their world.In addition, "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson has also been greatly affected, and because it has been shown for a longer period of time, the decline has continued. This week, it was completely released from the North American market. The total box office in the United States was 308.82 million— -Even if the plans of the investors behind have been reached, their publicity investment is inevitable.

It is also weird to move forward amidst the controversy but make money.

But this is the film industry, everything is possible, isn't it.

After gaining so many box offices, "Micro Love" has basically come to an end, and it is estimated that it is the limit to break 300 million.

However, it has already gained a lot.
