Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 343 Lei Shi is so angry

November 9.

Paramount Pictures has been preparing for a long time for the new work "Drifthead Vale", finally released today!

The film’s leading actor, John Needup, has recently gained popularity under Paramount’s promotion.

"Oh? How about you asking me "Driftwood"?"

Faced with the interview footage he remembered, John Nedpp immediately smiled and said: "Of course it is very good. The movie "Driftwood" was created by Paramount after two years, and the production cost alone was as high as 60 million US dollars. , The number of people involved before and after is even more than 1,000. Do you think it is not well-made?"

"Also, since August this year, "Broken Head Valley" has successively carried out as many as 32 trial screenings in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and other places. As many as 872 viewers have given A+ ratings. "

The voice fell.

The media reporters all nodded.

Throughout the previous Halloween schedules in North America, the $60 million production cost of "Guillotine Valley" is undoubtedly a high-cost production.

A horror and thriller movie, Paramount dared to invest so much money, it can be seen that it is its ambition!

This year’s Halloween schedule, Wald Pictures’ "Death Is Coming", the production cost is 22 million US dollars;

The production cost of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Haunted Mansion" was US$19 million;

Take a look at the new films released by companies such as Artisan Entertainment, Lions Gate Pictures, Emperor Gate Pictures, and Searchlight Entertainment during the Halloween schedule. No film cost more than US$10 million.

Although the level of production cost is not a standard for reflecting the pros and cons of a film, it can also reflect the degree of sophistication of the film with a high probability.

There is no doubt that Paramount’s new film "Drifthead Vale" is definitely the first movie in this year's Halloween schedule.

"hateful!"

Lionsgate’s boss Gusta said angrily: “I originally pointed out that the Warner and Wald companies could tear their faces and fight a battle, but I didn’t expect it to be just a little trouble and restraint. Let my company’s new work, nothing There is no room for rise."

Now, even worse!

The release of Paramount Pictures' new work "Dropped Head" completely broke the illusion of many small and medium film companies harvesting the box office.

""Guildendron" is released today, and it has more than 30% of the film schedule, plus Wald Pictures and Warner, how many schedules are there for us?"

"Raise the table, stop playing!"

Gusta was angry.

.......

Miramax Pictures.

"Tsk tut~"

Harvey Weinstein looked at the report in his hand and exclaimed: "Yes. First, Wald Pictures and Warner divided the market, occupied the schedule, squeezed a group of small and medium film companies, and now it’s Ramon is here, tut tut, this year's Halloween schedule, it is estimated that many people will cry~"

The voice just fell.

An executive sitting in his office immediately smiled and said, "Just let them die! Anyway, our company does not lose money."

Upon hearing this, Harvey Weinstein also laughed immediately.

This year's Halloween schedule, Harvey had a premonition of the stance of fighting each other, so he decided to start filming the new series of "Screaming Screams" early and suspended and replaced it with a small production horror film that cost only 800,000 US dollars.

The results of it?

Of course it is making money!

The film was released for more than ten days and earned a total of US$4.5 million at the North American box office.

"From the box office alone, we can make a small profit. If we add in the later DVD and video tape distribution, we can make at least more than 3 million US dollars in this year's Halloween schedule." The executive laughed.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Harvey said with regret: "If the top three are not in the schedule this year, our profit will be at least 1.5 million US dollars."

.......

at the same time.

Just as Harvey expected, there are many small and medium film company bosses who are almost crying~

"I will definitely lose money!"

"Me too. For the Halloween schedules of previous years, I was able to earn back the cost or even a small profit in terms of box office alone. But this year? Even if I add peripheral income and TV platform income, I will also lose a fortune. , At least 2 million US dollars."

"Hateful!"

"Now there is no objection to these!"

"All we can do is hope! Looking forward to Paramount's new work "Dropped Head" hitting the street, otherwise our movie will definitely be lost."

The people in charge of many production companies are all resentful, but they dare not speak.

Wald Pictures and Warner Bros., they can't afford it.

Paramount Pictures, they can't afford it even more.

You know, as one of the six largest Paramount, its parent company is Viacom Group.Among the subsidiaries of Viacom Group, there is a company called Blockbuster.

Blockbuster company!

It is currently the largest chain of DVD and video tape rental services and purchase services in North America. It has more than 4,000 stores in the United States and has a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars.

Many movie companies in Hollywood are all pointing to the ability to make money in the DVD and video tape market.

Who dares to provoke Paramount Pictures?!

But... this time someone dared to provoke!

Warner and Wald Pictures, in order to guarantee the income of their respective films during the Halloween schedule, have targeted Paramount's new work "Dropped Head".

Internet forums.

The naval forces of Wald Pictures are frequently deployed!

"During the trial screening of "Guillotine Valley", as many as 800 people gave A+ ratings. Who said that? It's John Nedup. Tell you, he is a liar!"

"I've seen the movie, it's extremely ugly!"

"Drop your head? Broken egg!"

"I don't deny that the $60 million "Dale of the Dead" is a big production movie, but looking at Paramount's recent years, how many are outstanding?"

"Good movie, think about it too much~"

As many as tens of thousands of slander posts and hundreds of thousands of comments have instantly sent the producer of "Dropped Head" to the dry world!

"Damn Zhuke Wald!"

Ms. Shirley Lansing, the president of Paramount Pictures, yelled in spite of her image: "How could he discredit our movie like this? The network navy is amazing~"

Jordan, the director of the distribution department, couldn't help complaining: "I reminded you last year that you formed the network navy team, but you refused."

Upon hearing this, Shirley Lansing's face instantly froze.

Jordan is shaking the pot!

Wald Pictures is stirring up trouble on the Internet, and Warner is not idle.

Professionals with the title of "Famous Hollywood Film Critics" wrote film reviews in the media.

"For the movie "Dropped Head", I can give a maximum of 5 points, no more! Of course the full score is 100 points.

This is the headline of Time Warner’s entertainment edition in today’s issue.

As the "Time Magazine", which has great influence in the United States and even the world, it represents "authority" and "credibility."

Although it also broadcasts a lot of fake news, there are so many people who can't stand to believe it!There are so many people buying it!

Many viewers who were originally interested in the movie "Drop Head" were unconsciously affected.

"Really ugly?"

With preconceived ideas, even if "Dropdown" is excellent, the passing of a large number of potential audiences will inevitably greatly affect the box office.

No, the reaction of the theater team is the fastest!

30% of the output, reduce it a bit.

Even if the theaters are not as strong as they are after the 21st century, they will still consider a lot of their own interests, and regulating and controlling film arrangement is an inevitable choice.

As a result, the two films "Reaper is Coming" and "Haunted Mansion" became the beneficiaries, and the number of films increased quietly.

Lei Shidong, the boss of Paramount Pictures and the always energetic old man, gritted his teeth with anger.

"I know that Zhuke is always shameless, but I didn't expect to be so shameless."

"The front foot will cooperate with us to produce "Tomb Raider", and I have a very happy conversation, and the back foot will face my company's new work, slander and sell it very decisively."

"I totally overestimated the downline of this bastard!"

Redstone was furious.

Sally, Lei Shidong's daughter, was also stunned.

Of course, the actor who was most surprised was John Needup, the hero of the film "Dropped Head".

"Tsk tut~"

Depp said speechlessly: "We were drinking together and celebrating Halloween together a few days ago, but now? People scold me on the Internet, it's not merciless!"

My friend Keanu Reeves laughed and cursed: "What kind of person is Zhuke Wald, you only know today?"

As Keanu who has a good relationship with Zhu Ke, there was a time when the movie schedule was the same, Zhu Ke's company did not spray him less!

The actions of Warner and Wald Pictures actually did not have a big impact on Paramount. After all, Paramount is not muddled, but...it's disgusting!
