Hollywood starts with animation

The "Fire and Fury", "Fast and Furious" and "Death Race 2" are three movies in a row, all released in September and October, this time period is not the summer and Christmas period when there are a lot of big movies, it is always a good time for small and medium budget movies to shine.

Or there are the works of the big six Hollywood, of course, the films scheduled to be released in September and October, certainly not the first sequence of the big six to push the film.

Who would have thought that a good September/October schedule would have caught up with 9/11?

A large number of movies blood loss, completely beyond the expectations of the major Hollywood studios.

"Kevin, how much has been spent on the initial distribution of these films that will be released by our Wald Pictures?"

Juke asked.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch flinched, whirled around and said, "Hold on, I'll look for the statement."

Any of the company's expenses were on file with the finance and with Kevin Fitch.

In a few moments~

"Boss, found it." Kevin Fitch raised the report data in his hand.

[Fury Attack" movie expense breakdown.]

The Fast and the Furious Movie Expense Breakdown.]

The cost breakdown for the film "Die Hard 2."]

Three files in a row, neatly lined up, just lying peacefully on top of the desk.

"I'll take a look at the files, you guys are busy with yourselves."

Zhuke looked at the files, just a few general glances, and his heart went cold.

The total production cost of the "Fury" movie was $11 million, with an estimated distribution cost of $8 to $12 million.

Today is September 10, five days before the film's release.

Less than one day before the date of 9/11.

As of now, the pre-release publicity cost of the movie "The Fury" before its release is more than $4 million.

"Come on, the $4 million in pre-release publicity costs is going to float away." Zhuke said in his heart.

Have a look at the Fast and Furious and Death Comes 2 movies ......

It's only 20 days from the release.

But the preliminary publicity expenses were really not small.

The movie "Fast and Furious", with a total production cost of $36 million, has already spent $7 million on pre-publicity costs.

The total production cost of the movie "Death Wish 2" is $25 million. As the movie that Walden Pictures is pushing for this year's Halloween season, and as the sequel movie with a large fan base, its distribution cost is even more expensive.

Kevin Feige gave the film's distribution cost, set at $18-20 million!

The entire $8 million has now been spent.

"Four million + seven million + eight million..."

"Adding up the three movies, it's $19 million!"

At this moment, Zhuke's classmates felt a sudden chill in their hearts, and had no choice but to let the money be doomed to float.

The key is that Zhuke can't stop it now!

I don't know if it's possible for Zhuke to grip Kevin Feige by the collar and yell at him, "You idiot, pull the movie out of production, and don't spend any more fucking money on distribution.

That's just a thought.

You can't say that!

All the while, Jukes' face kept changing, wonderfully.

Kevin Fitch saw the situation and was concerned, "Boss, are you not feeling well and do you need to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Jukes stared up at him.

Without saying a word, Jukes left the office.

Suddenly, Kevin Fitch, Gavin O'Connor, and Tudor looked at each other face to face.

Kevin Fitch accosted and smiled, saying, "Maybe Boss is really not feeling well, after all, he was laughing with us before."

Gavin O'Connor and Tudor immediately nodded their heads in a very cooperative manner.

Embarrassment, everyone will run into it.

Zhuke's mood was naturally very unhappy, and it would have been the same for anyone else, after all, it was $19 million!

There was no way to stop it.

As soon as 9/11 broke out, however, the three movies that were to be released had to be withdrawn from theaters.

Even if they have to pay some money to the theater owners, it's worth it.

Stopping losses is sometimes necessary.

In short, Zhuke didn't want his films to become cannon fodder in the event of 9/11!

"It's just a lesson in spending money."

"I lost $19 million, so I'll get it back on the stock market in one piece, but the wool comes off the sheep anyway."

......

WB TV.

At this moment, the main members of the cast of the movie "The Fury", Jason Statham, Jessica Chastain and others, are recording a program on television.

The purpose is naturally to better promote the movie "Attack of the Fury".

"Ms. Hera, when will the show be broadcasted after the recording is completed?"

Jason Statham started asking the host of the show before the show was recorded.

This was Jason Statham's first TV show since he came to Hollywood from England, and he attached great importance to it.

The hostess, Hera, said, "You're on this show mainly to promote the movie, so it's part of a special edition, and after it's recorded this morning, it will be broadcast this evening, well, along with the last recording."

"So soon?!"

Jason Stinson had a little surprise.

"Of course."

Hostess Hera smiled: "We at WB TV and Wald Pictures, also under the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, naturally have a lot of preferential treatment in order to cooperate with the promotion of the movie, otherwise, the earliest time to record a program would be five days before airing."

Upon hearing this, Jason Statham was immediately delighted.

He couldn't wait for the promotion of the movie "The Fire and the Furious" to go as fast as possible, as it was the first movie he had starred in after entering Hollywood.

He was ten thousand percent attached to it!

......

The same evening.

The entertainment channel of the WB TV network broadcast the recording of this morning's episode of "The Fury".

In the middle of the show, Jason Statham smiled and said, "I was a member of the British national diving team many years ago, and my best result was when I represented Great Britain at the 12th World Diving Championships in 1992, finishing 12th."

"Why did you retire from diving?"

"To be honest I'm also extremely sad. You know, I started practicing diving at the age of 14, and then I contributed to the British national diving team for 12 years, and I wouldn't have been able to leave it behind. The main reason I chose to retire was that I was too old to keep going."

......

On the show, Jason Statham faced the host's questions, time and time again to talk freely and answer well.

A villa somewhere in Los Angeles.

Jessica Chastain, the actress who plays the lead role in the "Furious" movie, is now wearing a purple nightgown, half lying in bed.

Jason Statham is a really, really hard-working actor, and I think he will be successful in Hollywood.

"For example, during the shooting of this movie, he was injured several times during the shooting of action scenes, and an ordinary person would have paused the shooting and gone to the hospital to treat his wounds. But he's different. As long as it's not a major injury, he waits until after shooting the scenes before treating his wounds."

"Then why do you need to say that?" Jukes proudly nuzzled his chin.

Guo Da ...... Jason Statham, the world-famous Hollywood 21 hard-boiled actor, is no slouch.

"Zhuke, how much box office success do you think the Anger Attack movie will get this time?"

Jessica Chastain herself said, before Jukes could answer, "In my judgment, the movie didn't do badly."

The words left his mouth.

Zhuke was instantly delighted.

It was still in theaters?

Of course she didn't know that Jukes was already planning to pull the movie from the air and stop the loss in time.

Don't look at the buzz that the WB television network's episode of the entertainment show had generated, but Jukes knew it was all to no avail. Who let tomorrow be the day of 9/11?

Jukes laughs, "Don't get too happy about that."

Jessica Chastain: "......"

Before she could ask another question, Zhuk put out his cigarette and said with the corners of his mouth turned up, "What's all this talk at a good time? Let's fight~"

The second shift is coming up, there are votes to vote.
