Hollywood legendary director

"Attention to all departments, turn on after 10 minutes."

Kevin took the megaphone and shouted. Every time he called the person in charge of a unit, he received an affirmative answer before he called and entered the game.

"Act 22, first mirror, action—"

The lens is focused, the scene is quiet, and it is convenient to receive the sound. Of course, if the radio is not good, it can be matched in the later stage, but it is also easy.

Today is the 8th day of the group shooting. The US team's line has come to the assembly time, so Lehman is personally responsible.

In a basement.

A veteran who has been lying alone on the hard ice for 70 years, after being rescued, stood at a loss on a strange street and sighed that he had missed an important date. The hero turned and became a fitness trainer. I have to say that there is enough contrast.

The sandbag fluttering from side to side was finally beaten by the man, but he just panted heavily and silently replaced it with a new sandbag.

"Can't sleep?"

Samuel Jackson appeared with a familiar blindfold.

"I slept for 70 years, sir. I think I have enough sleep." Evans continued to beat the sandbag.Not to mention, during this preparation time, Evans maintained a good body shape, wearing white short sleeves, and a strong sense of strength, but literary and opera was his weakness.

Compared with Jackson's ease, Lehman watched the match between the two, and it was obvious that the American team that should have performed-the temperament that was not adapted to the times was not reflected.

However, Lehman did not have very high requirements for "Reunion". He didn't pursue the most natural performance, and he just passed it. The actor Evans was originally a god-wisher, and he had a comic face. I am willing to work hard to maintain my figure, and I have met the needs of the role. The audience is not here for acting, are they?

Immediately after a shot was taken, Lehmann signaled the scene and handed over the props.

A piece of information about the Cube of the Universe.

"Is this the secret weapon of Hydra?" Evans recognized it at a glance. He had this when he was fighting Red Skull on the plane.

"This was found in the ocean when Howard Stark searched and rescued you, and after our research, this Rubik's Cube is likely to become the key to discovering eternal energy."

"Who took it away?" Evans asked simply.

"Rocky, an outsider. If you are willing to join us, you have to make up lessons for you." Jackson sighed a little: "The world is changing so fast that it has exceeded people's imagination."

"Over."

Another shot is taken.

...

In a blink of an eye, two days passed, a new Monday.

And last weekend, the action thriller "Scary Agent" starring Angelina Jolie scored 20.4 million in one fell swoop, rushing to the second place on the weekly list, and in the audience group, the proportion of female audiences was as high as 55%. This year's summer file is the first film to receive a female bonus.

This kind of situation is even rarer in the field of action. As a comparison, the proportion of female audiences in the "Kill Bill" series of the same female star is still less than 40%.

However, it is also a new film. The family comedy "Sisters Ramona" produced by Fox is not so lucky. The start of less than 9 million US dollars in the first week reveals the temperament of cannon fodder. Fortunately, this film is not invested. High, even if the box office can’t get the money back, you will not lose money even if you run it well.

Set.

Lehman, who was eating and resting at noon, also got an email containing box office data from Liam.

After the 60.4 million in the first week, the market for Inception was only down by less than 30% in the next week. The following weekend, it recorded 42.33 million again, and the total box office in North America was 148 million.

With such a firm trend, I saw mixed feelings and sorrows for all the theaters. In any case, this summer is not too flat, and there is a lively taste.

With two consecutive weeks of winning the North American Box Office Weekly Championship, movie fans rushed into IMDB frantically, scoring 9.3 points, ranking second only to "Shawshank's Redemption" and "The Godfather."

In addition, compared to the North American market, "Inception" is not subject to too many regional restrictions overseas, and is at the forefront of the box office lists in various countries.

Perhaps it is because of high-quality, logically rigorous science fiction films that everyone loves to watch. According to the feedback from overseas ticket warehouses in the UK, Spain, Australia, etc., which are simultaneously screened, the film has already won 124 million. This is still not shown in the mainland. In the case of postponement, the global market accounted for 272 million in 10 days. As an original project, this achievement is remarkable.

Even for the sequels of some well-known series, 272 million in 10 days is quite good.

Relying on steady results, the popularity of the crew's creators has increased greatly, and they have frequently entered Yahoo's hot search list. A related report can attract a lot of clicks, enough to see the audience's enthusiasm.

After all, looking back on the 7 months that have passed since 10 years, apart from an "Avatar", an "Alice in Wonderland", an animation of "How to Train Your Dragon", etc., the number of projects that detonated the Shadow City was missing compared to previous years. A lot.

Independent production projects like Sony, Warner, Fox, and Universal did not make any big moves in the first half of the year. It can be said that they are supported by Paramount and Mann Media so that they will not be too bleak, but even so, compared with the box office of previous years, It has fallen for several months of this year, and the theater’s life is not comfortable, especially under the premise of increasing the renewal and replacement of projection equipment, operating expenses will increase, and income will inevitably be affected. Now we will encounter production The factories are not strong, and they are also unable to tell.

Very simple endless loop.

Audiences do not buy tickets-sales of beverages and retail fast food have decreased-theater revenues have plummeted;

Without the iamx theater-the audience will not come-the lack of passenger flow, forcing the theater to increase investment-the heavier the financial burden, the ugly debt ratio-investors retreat.

You know, except for "Inception" to maintain its lead in the second weekend, old movies like "Toy Story 3" are still at the forefront of the list. The reason why they are not moving is the lack of competition.

It can be said that the overall Top 12 market this week is only 135 million, which is still a summer bonus, which is about 22% lower than last year. Compared with this year, the trend is also deserted.

Theatrical businessmen have experienced the continuous heat in 2008 and 2009, and have relied on "Avatar" for 10 years. When they dreamed that this year's performance would be better, they were thrown cold water by reality.

The film industry is like this, full of unknowns. Even if the total Hollywood market just broke the record last year, it can cool down this year.

However, this kind of incident is an opportunity for Firefly. The overall cold market does not affect the hotness of their production business.

The general environment's oppression of individuals is still fading. It is even said that because the life is not easy, the publicity resources of major studios can be poured into Firefly, such as Sony, and now concentrate on running the "Inception" project.

In addition, "The Witcher Apprentice" has fallen to 5th, with a total of only 28.7 million...
