Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 717 Market Saturation (seeking subscription, tickets)

Alan Eckhart, born in California on March 12, 1968, American film and television actor, works "Men's Cheapest", "Never Compromise", "I Love You Hopelessly"...

Nolan flipped through his resume and saw a man with a pretty good face coming in.

With a long face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose, I feel that I can play a positive angle when I look at it.

In the showbiz, looks and temperament complement each other.

If you look awkward-like the different-looking pirate actors in "Pirates of the Caribbean", apart from being a harlequin, there is almost no way out.

So, let's not talk about other things, the image alone meets the role standards at least.

After all, the role of the prosecutor can't let one... right, strange-looking people come in.

In the audition room, Lehman was also curious about Nolan's choice.

At first glance, Lyman realized that this person was the original actor in Harvey's role.

Nolan seemed to be more satisfied with him when he thought it would change.

At least, none of the people who auditioned before had asked them so carefully.

Views on the role, understanding of Bruce Wayne, and have anything to say about the reconstruction of the Gotham order in "The Mystery of the Shadows"-in the first part, Rachel and Wayne are on the car criminals... ....

Now that Alan Eckhart can squeeze into the fourth round of auditions, he naturally has a good understanding of the project, and his answer is quite organized.

Plus, he deliberately imitated the role of a prosecutor.The sense of substitution is quite good, it looks more like a role template.

Soon, Nolan asked him to go out and wait for news.

When someone left, he asked, "What do you think?"

"Aren't you already interested in belonging."

Nolan picked up his resume and put it aside.

In the afternoon, Allen's agent arrived after being notified.

Although this white man, who is also around 30 years old, tried his best to remain calm, some small actions revealed his psychological urgency and joy.

You know, Alan Eckhart is just a second- and third-best male star who has appeared in several movies. His work is not well-known, his public image is almost non-existent, and he has few chances to appear.

Even if it wasn't for a supporting role in a well-known masterpiece like "The Dark Knight," he was willing to negotiate.

For actors, there is not much power and space to choose before they have achieved something.

After a few polite sounds, Allen's agent took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Rust, we have studied Batman very seriously, and Allen himself is very willing to participate in the "Dark Knight"..." ——We promised, how much is the pay?

Lehman easily read the core of the words from it, and he replied: "Let’s talk about the schedule first. There are about 4 months of preparation and shooting time in the middle, and the role of prosecutor Harvey is relatively heavy, at least in The crew stays for two to two and a half months, so...how about $3 million?"

"In this case, we have no problem."

Before quoting, Johnson had inquired about Alan Eckhart's past star price, and then reported it to Lehman.

This stuff really doesn't have much qualifications, and playing a protagonist is less than $3 million in salary. Now playing a male ration is already an excellent salary in the industry.

Of course, this is also because the role of Harvey is one of the turning points in advancing the plot, and selection needs to be cautious.

"So, now talk about our requirements," Lehman continued: "Keep exercising and stay in shape. If you can, think about the speech and tone of high-level civil servants. There are several public statements in the play. At the time, the momentum must be sufficient, except for that, there is basically nothing to do. Be more familiar with the characters."

......

In the first week, "300" easily gained 81.46 million US dollars with the attitude of Yiqi Juechen, and the following week began to decline due to the consumption of potential audiences.

On Monday, November 18, 12.23 million;

On Tuesday, November 19, 10.87 million;

On Wednesday, November 20, 8.23 ​​million;

......

However, even if the box office has fallen, compared to other old and new movies of the same period, it is not so good.

From November 18th to November 24th, this week’s North American cinema market’s market share, "300" alone shared 26% of the cake, and more than 20 other films shared the remaining%. 74.

Therefore, when the box office data of the new week is released, many people are already mentally prepared.

"300" accumulated 18.23 million in the weekend, and 48.96 million in 7 days once again secured the weekly box office champion.

And the subsequent ranking has changed a lot.

Due to the lack of new films with box office competitiveness in the market, the penguin cartoon "Happy Feet" produced by Warner Bros. Pictures won 41.53 million in the first weekend and ranked second, and the latest 007 series "Casino Royale" continued to follow it. Later, it won 40.83 million box office.

According to the follow-up market forecast data released by the North American box office statistics agency, "Happy Feet" should be able to break 80 million US dollars in the next weekend's box office revenue, and "Casino Royale" is 75 million US dollars.

Although "Casino Royale" ranked third in the North American box office chart and has not even competed for an animated film, its distributor, the Columbia company of Sony Pictures Group, said (the two businesses are officially parallel), the film is in overseas markets The box office has always been higher than that of North America.

In terms of current audience reputation alone, it is expected that it will soon exceed the box office revenue record of the 007 film created by "Die Another Day" in 2002-"Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan has a global box office revenue of 4.32 so far One hundred million U.S. dollars.

As for why Colombia is so confident in relying on overseas markets, apart from the fact that the original 007 series is relatively highly accepted in overseas countries, it is also because the joining of this version of the new 007 has not been boycotted by fan groups——

As the actor of the sixth-generation 007, Daniel Craig withstood tremendous pressure and doubts from the outside world.I remember when it was announced that he would play the new 007, Bond fans all over the world and the media questioned him, some even mocked him, saying that he is not handsome enough, he is too short, and he has yellow hair... But when the film was released, Craig's performance shut up everyone who questioned him.

In addition, the Bond girl played by Eva is also different from the previous Bond girl as a vase. Instead, she conquered the audience with her calm mind and means.Therefore, Colombia really has confidence in the film, even if the domestic market has not competed.

Then, the sci-fi thriller "Cross-Time Effect" starring the famous black movie star Denzel Washington earned 27.82 million US dollars at the weekend box office, ranking fourth on the list.

Among the newly released films, the religious film "Nativity of Christ", which depicts the love story of Jesus' parents, is also more eye-catching, and ranked fifth with a weekend box office revenue of 10.36 million US dollars.The comedy "Shiny Christmas" ranked sixth with 8.7 million US dollars.

Since there are still a few weeks before Christmas during the Thanksgiving holiday, and considering that most American families are currently busy shopping before Christmas, Hollywood filmmakers have not launched any box office competitive masterpieces this week.

However, the total box office revenue of the 12 top-selling films in the North American film market this weekend was approximately US$1126.0 million, an increase of approximately 8% of the market share over the same period last year.

This proves that the action of increasing the canvas and building multiple theaters in the theater is correct.

The Hollywood movie market has continued to develop in recent years and has not yet reached its saturation value.

Aside from other things, a non-prime time schedule can have such a momentum, doesn't it mean that the production business is booming, and high-quality film sources are increasingly recognized by the audience.

You know, just the top few on the box office list, every film has a market potential of over 100 million in North America and 300 million globally.

This kind of achievement was placed 3 or 4 years ago, and all were high-selling works that were only available during the summer and Christmas.

A seemingly simple comparison concept is enough to excite most investors who are interested in making money in the film and television business industry.

In other words, when the audience base is far below the threshold, you can feed many high-grossing works and really release the market. What will be the result?

After all, the box office of over 100 million in the past was a goal that too many filmmakers pursued but was difficult to achieve, but now it has become a small threshold for a slightly up-to-the-grade movie to be able to sell halfway.

All people in the industry believe that the box office record of the movie market will only get higher and higher in the future, and the cumulative box office will be faster and faster. At least, the market is improving every year...
