Hollywood legendary director

As time enters November, the hostess selection of "Prada" is still set.

It is Anne Hathaway, with a salary of 7 million and no revenue sharing.

I don’t know if it’s Caa’s credit or she figured it out. After all, if she blindly participates in niche literary movies and fails to win awards, it will not help her career as an actress.

And just as David Frankel continued to busy preparing the crew, "Water Monster in the Lake" also entered the publicity period.

The movie is scheduled to be released in mid-November, just in time for the warm-up period of the Christmas schedule.

As for why not choose the latter point and directly intervene in the Christmas file to get the most audience base, this year's competition pressure is a little bit heavy, and it is inevitable that both will suffer.

You know, works that will be released after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy include Peter Jackson's remake of "King Kong", Disney's magical "Narnia Magic Kingdom", and Warner's ace sequel Harry Potter 4: Goblet of Fire.

None of these three are weak.

Although Lehman is also very confident in his movies and believes that the box office will not be bad, but if you can not confront it, you can make money after discussing it. There is no way to lose.

Everyone is not an enemy of life or death. Lehman and Peter Jackson have occasional contact. It's really unnecessary.

And to please the audience and fans, getting together will definitely do more harm than good.

Not to mention, Warner is in charge of the release of "Water Monster in the Lake", so I can't compete with "Harry Potter".

Lehman decided on the timing of the screening after thinking about it a long time ago, so he began to arrange the film crew to cooperate with the final wave of publicity, and then waited to enter the theater.

At the same time, on November 4, the animated film "Chicken Story" produced by Disney was released.

This three-year film, costing 60 million US dollars, simply uses an anthropomorphic animal world to create a worrisome little chicken. It will worry about the sky falling because of a little wind and grass, so it reacts too strongly. ......

I have to say that although Disney Animation has passed its peak period, it has been beaten back and forth by DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Animation and Pixar Animation, but the foundation is still there.

The production quality of "Chicken Story" is quite good, and it is very popular with children.

Ever since, on the first Wednesday of the screening, a young work in North America has a total of 40.04 million box office, directly airborne to the top of the weekly box office list.It is a good start for the year-end schedule battle.

While the media praised, they exclaimed that Disney's treasure is not old and that Disney animation can continue to fight for another ten years. As everyone knows, Disney has lost the crown in the field of animation movies because of multiple reasons, not because the enemy is too strong.

Is this the reason? Firstly, it is the production cycle. It takes three to four years to complete an animated film, and the majority of the expenditure during this period is on the salary of the painting talents;

Secondly, it is the progress of the times, abandoning Disney's traditional manual painting, and entering the computer 3D drawing like Blue Sky, DreamWorks, and Pixar;

Three come, is the management deliberately transforming Disney, vigorously supporting the production of live-action movies, deliberately ignoring its own animation industry, and Disney Animation also has a drawback, too many free-range hand-painted employees, it has already reached the point of layoffs At that time, otherwise, unless you return to the creative ability of the 90s and produce another "Lion King", it will still be a burden.

Moreover, even if Disney’s management is willing to change and embrace new technologies, those hand-painted employees will not agree. In the United States, large-scale layoffs will definitely attract union obstruction, and Disney is simply unable to resist the torrent of technological changes.

On November 9, just a week after "Chicken Story" was released, the North American theaters had a fight and there was no live-action movie to live in. The premiere of "Water Monster in the Lake" was held as scheduled.

Previously, in the trial screening of Warner, the theater executives were unanimously optimistic about the film. Taking into account the box office big data of commercial films, the chain theater operators led by Emperor Entertainment Group directly arranged for "Water Monster in the Lake" More than 2,800 open screens, 30% of the films.

This is already a priority level of support, especially as a popular time period, "Water Monster in the Lake" naturally cannot dominate alone.

In the same period, the only ones that may have an impact are the music biography film "Walk with the Song" starring Jacques Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. This film has only more than 1,300 screens, which is better than "Lake Zhong "Water Monster" is weaker to the next level.

In the mansion of Beverly Hills, Lyman put on a formal dress and watched Eva tie him carefully.

"Sure." Eva said with satisfaction.

......

Matthew McConaughey has been participating in various audition events recently with the help of his agent. He even prepared for absurd comedies that were never seen before. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Perhaps it was out of scruples, or people who failed in superstition will bring bad luck. In short, after so many days, he still hasn't received any chance to play, not even a supporting role.

In the same way, Matthew had a clear view of the reality that rallies and stomping on lows are the norm in Hollywood. It is not a personal charm at all. In the past, those who cheat him, in turn, are ridicule and mockery.

After hitting the wall countless times, Matthew gave up the days when he was rejected for continuing to participate in the audition, and patiently waited for the opportunity Lehman said, that is, after the movie was released, relying on the results to restore the decline in his career.

After the movie was finalized, maybe it was him who was looking forward to.

After a career trough, his girlfriend is still divided. Matthew just wants to take advantage of the movie's release to change to a comfortable environment.

......

When Lehmann got out of the car, the open space of the Chinese Grand Theater was already crowded with people, and the air infected by a large number of movie fans became anxious.

They shouted, they were excited, holding the movie poster aloft in their hands, or giving a warm response to every big star who came to join in.

Although Lyman is a director, he can't keep a low profile because of the famous Eva standing next to him.

In fact, he himself has accumulated a lot of diehard fans by relying on his works. Of course, behind the scenes and in front of the stage are still incomparable. You may appreciate Spielberg’s talent or go to the theater to support Cameron, but they Will you follow the director like a star actor?

This is obviously impossible.

Favoring this thing, hiding in the heart, and showing it, are two different things.

Therefore, in the heat wave caused by Lehmann and Eva's appearance together, it is not surprising that you can only hear the name of Eva alone. From her debut to the present, Eva has walked steadily, and nothing Black material, in the eyes of the public, has a feeling of a perfect lover.

Of course, it would be more perfect if there was no man standing next to her.
