Hollywood legendary director

"The competition in the summer season is very fierce. Our "Saw Cry 2" has no advantage at all."

In the office of the president of Firefly Pictures, Benjamin Joseph, the head of the administration department, said with a smile: "So, Paramount meant to let us wait until the end of the summer vacation, at the end of June or mid-July, or even later. "

Lehman looked at some information about the theater and didn't say much.

For the North American market, the importance of the summer vacation is of course needless to say.

In particular, the six major Hollywood players will not miss this war.

The first week of May is "Van Helsing" from Universal.

In the second week of May, "Troy" hits strongly; in the third week of May, DreamWorks’ "Shrek 2", and in the fourth week of May, the masterpiece of Twentieth Century Fox, is also Eva’s "The Day After Day". Will be released...

Just looking at this list, you know how fierce the competition is.

Even though the results of the previous work of "Chain Saw" are already guaranteed, Paramount still dare not take risks.

Compared with funds, among these works, "The Day After Acquired" has the least investment, but the filming cost of "The Day After Acquired" is 130 million, and the book cost of "Troy" with the highest investment is 180 million. .

In the announcement, the Sixth National Congress had to be punched out.

The newspapers are full of news about these new plays.

"Van Helsing" was not highly evaluated by film critics, even setting aside the film critics group, to publicize how hard Hugh Jackman worked for the filming, or to raise the rumors of starring in the film crew.

Don't expect any morality from the production company these days.

After investing so much money, you can't get rid of it.

The poor Uncle Wolf was consumed hard.

Who made "Van Helsing" really bad? Universal's Monster Random Stew series has just begun to fail.

Uncle Wolf was also consumed in a blink of an eye because of the market reputation gained by "X-Men".

Kate Beckinsale is also unfortunate.

Some time ago, the role of "Escape from the Island of Clone", which was painstakingly pursued, was finally given to Scarlett Johansson by "Boom Bay", and they gained a good reputation by relying on the corner of "Lost in Tokyo".

The subsequent "Van Helsing" was released, and there were many bad reviews-the girl was really miserable, and I don't know if the agent's ability to select films is too bad, and she always receives the works of the year.I won't talk about the previous "Pearl Harbor", at least not too much, and finally relied on "Bad Guy" to return to the blood, and then encountered "Van Helsing."

Alas, it is estimated that the career of an actor has to fall into the bottom again.This is Hollywood, only market theory.

As the competitors of this movie, seeing that their peers are not good at it, the behavior of falling into trouble is flying.

The constant enthusiasm for "Van Helsing" has a lot to do.

But even so, some low-cost movies in the same period are still inevitable.

In the first week of the opening of the box office results also got 31.26 million US dollars.

However, the audience evaluation is also very poor.

Starting from the next week, the box office market continued to decline. Even if Uncle Wolf led the crew to promote and appear on the show, it could not save the reputation that was declining.

Warner followed closely with his epic masterpiece "Troy".

I am also happy to see such a scene, and easily take advantage of the global decline to vigorously promote my new film, and continue to beat opponents despite the facts.

Brad Pitt spoke out of the poor performance of "Van Helsing" in a show.

Oh, yes, Pete is the star of "Troy", and his studio is also involved in investment.

Let's disregard Peter's character for the time being, but the "charming man" personality created by others over the years is still successful.There are a lot of fans.

Moreover, he still broke this news during the screening stage of a competitor's movie, thinking with his toes, knowing that it was Warner's instruction.

Movie promotion? Sometimes black opponents just hold themselves, and the effect is the same.Although "Van Helsing" is indeed easy to be hacked.

Not to mention Pete, the publicity is very hard.

The first-line celebrities at this time, to be honest, cooperated with the movie promotion.

In order to create a gimmick, anything can be used to make a fuss about fake marriages, gossip offensives, high-profile sales, injuries in filming, and hard work.

Warner is even more familiar with this.

"Troy" hadn't been released yet, and when filming broke out, several leading actors were all in a coma from heatstroke, and Pete fell off his horse and suffered multiple fractures. He still insisted not to use a substitute.

Is this an exaggeration and will not be evaluated first, but there is no need for a substitute, stick to the real shot, sure to be serious?

If there is such a fight, is it still Pete?

At this point, Pete is not as dedicated as Tom Cruise, but he has to compare with others. Generally speaking, Pete has a good attitude in filming.

On the contrary, it has been criticized for private life.Of course, people are not picky themselves, what can outsiders say?

In contrast, looking at the battle between Warner and Universal, and a bunch of movie companies that are not too big to watch the excitement and fan the flames, Paramount, as a distribution giant with many resources, appears to be unable to succeed.In this time period, there is no big production that can be taken.

Summer vacation, a great market, and no participation is very difficult for a giant like Paramount.

But no way, the production ability is indeed worrying in recent years.

To win DreamWorks, the conditions are good, but they have not let go, and want to fight desperately to see if they can regain momentum.

To put it bluntly, Spielberg still doesn't want his efforts to be acquired by other film companies.

Although Paramount wants to supplement its own production department, DreamWorks will not be included in the film production business as long as the Big Three of DreamWorks does not nodded Spielberg.

Shirley Lansing had no choice but to keep in touch while waiting for the situation inside DreamWorks to deteriorate.

Lehman also agrees with Paramount’s release strategy, and does not intend to use "Chainsaw 2" as cannon fodder in the most intense competition like the summer file.

After discussing it, it was decided to release it at the end of October.

Going for the Halloween schedule.

North American audiences generally have a tradition of watching horror and thrillers on Halloween, which is very suitable for the play of "Chain Saw 2".

Wen Ziren also went to the crew of "New York Tour" after finishing the later stage of "Chain Saw 2" as the assistant director and art director.

This is so boring, I just want to see how Zha Dao makes movies and learn from experience.

After the filming, he indicated that he would no longer be the director of the next sequel.

Also, it is tedious for the director to make sequels all the time, and there is not much room for improvement.

Lehman respected his choice.
