Hollywood legendary director

"How much is the box office?"

Lehman leaned on the sofa and asked in a daze.

On the other end of the phone, Liam, the new CEO of Blue Butterfly Pictures, gave a detailed report: "More than 3,000 theaters, 7 shows, and a box office of 40.27 million US dollars."

"More than 40 million..."

Lehman murmured.

Nima, Zha Dao is going to soar into the sky.

It broke 40 million on the first day.

Directors who can achieve this result are all the hottest people in Hollywood.

In the past three years, counting from the time Lehman debuted, the number of Hollywood blockbusters that can reach this number has not exceeded the number of hands.

This is a huge watershed. Looking at the past hits, it is almost outdated if it does not break 100 million in three days.And the first day I got 40 million, it was undoubtedly a breakthrough in three days.

Even the temporary weekly box office champion "National Treasure" on the Christmas file has not achieved this achievement.

As a top-notch popular theme, there is another gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer and actor Nicholas Cage. In the same period, when competitors are not good enough, they only took more than 37 million first-day box office.

But the "newcomer" led the way. With the team, investment and early announcements worth more than 100 million yuan, it is not rich in wealth, but also created such good results.

My boy!

How do you feel that Zha Dao is the protagonist template, ten years have passed, a blockbuster?

The previous life has also risen rapidly, and can win the most critical project in the Warner DC Cinematic Universe project.

This is not to open the hang, who open the hang.

"call……"

Lehman was surprised by such statistics.

This is really... It is true that Lehmann never expected the movie to be so popular in the market.

He was confident that the film would succeed, but he also wanted to break the wrist with "National Treasure" and slightly overwhelmed him, but he didn't want to run over it directly.

But on second thoughts, it is not unimaginable that such a good schedule this year, the right time, the right place, and all the people, and the strong support and announcement of Warner Pictures as the back are not unimaginable.

The win-win cooperation has indeed come true.

In other words, if the reputation of the movie does not collapse, the movie will really make a fortune.

Hanging up the phone, excited and can't sleep again.

Back in the bedroom, Eva didn't sleep either. Seeing his face was happy, even her footsteps were much lighter, she couldn't help but smiled: "The film scores are very good."

Lehman nodded, "Yes, the big rock in my heart finally fell. The first day was 40.27 million US dollars."

Hearing that "A New York Tour" broke 40 million on the first day, Eva, who was slightly tired, also came to the spirit.

For actors, participating in the box office sales is a good plus.

In addition, "New York Tour" is not as simple as the average box office is good, it is going to the top ten of the annual list, the meaning is different, the honor is more, and it needs to be written into the history of film.

Hollywood is a highly competitive circle, and there are too many employees in related industries. Compared with acting ability, for actresses, the selection conditions are not related to the business foundation, but to consider face, figure, Market value and other aspects.

To put it simply, the more red the opportunity is, the higher the market value.

For example, Eva's remuneration has doubled dozens of times in the past few years due to the addition of many works resources.

"Then you can relax a little bit now. I haven't even been able to sleep well these past two days, and the dark circles under my eyes are about to come out." Eva smiled.

"I was really worried about the first two days." Lehman breathed a sigh of relief. He sat next to Eva and touched her face and said: "The market wind is very hanging. Suddenly a subject is very popular, and suddenly a subject The audience's interest is no longer. The first week of the film's performance is more related to the number of screens in the theater, the selection of the film, and the tendency of the media to report. Those people are just like the wind. The box office is high, the resources are good, and the box office is low. Saying that it is cut in the middle, it may also refer to how it is arranged, ridiculed by the news and newspapers, or at jokes."

"Then why didn't you be so worried before? Is the investment too large?"

"When you knew me, I made a fortune. The occasional success or failure will not affect me too much, so I have confidence. But you don't know when I first started making a movie, because it was released on the first day. The attendance rate is not even in Chengdu. I was sitting in a movie theater, and I felt uneasy when I went back to sleep. I felt bored over and over again. Now, it is also related to the financial chain.

The word-of-mouth of "New York Trip" also needs funds to promote and proliferate. I cannot lose this battle.Lehman shook his head.

If you lose, not only will Blue Butterfly Pictures be invaded by big bank capitalists like Guzman, but even Firefly Pictures' basic market will be affected.

"There will be several magazine interviews tomorrow, I will follow up." Eva said of her own business.

"Well, there are arrangements on Warner's side, and we will be responsible for cooperating. After this period of tiredness, the publicity will be reduced later."

Eva nodded and said: "In one month, we will be at the end of the year. Only during this time can I enjoy the Christmas bonus."

...

The night was long, and everyone in the circle was shocked by the first day of "New York Tour".

Although the market performance is certainly not bad in terms of word-of-mouth and point-of-view results, but it is too good. Why not surprise everyone?

You must know that the "Batman" series and the "Lord of the Rings" series are both huge investment, high quality, and high topicality in themselves, so they have the first day capacity.

Even the director Lehman of Firefly Pictures has continued to accumulate reputation. Finally, relying on the heroic dramas, story and character creation of several movie kings, can he achieve this kind of achievement.

But what about "New York Tour"?

The second-line movie star brings a combination of several veteran actors and film newcomers, relying on the theme of zombies, can it be the same?

Although it is far from "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings", it is still a bit behind the market performance in terms of momentum, but... it is still unimaginable.

You know, none of these films that broke 40 million on the first day has a local box office of less than 400 million.

Success has become inevitable. This is the mind of many people in the industry.

The operation belonging to Warner began.

They were also a little surprised when they got the results, but more importantly, they cooperated with the propaganda department to continue their hype.

The two sides hit it off, and Blue Butterfly Pictures and Warner invested another 20 million.

As a result, the media people also started to act.

Portal websites, film review forums, print media newspapers, television stations...

Anyway, it is to speculate on the good results of "New York Tour", so that the audience subconsciously feel that the big box office works need to support it.

In the case of mixed media, with Warner’s backing of money and effort, they have tried their best to brag shamelessly.
