Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Exploiting Hollywood 1980 ()"!

Vic Morrow was not a good father, at least in the eyes of his second daughter, Jennifer Jason Lee.

At the age of three, Jennifer's mother Barbara and Morrow divorced. Although Jennifer was sentenced to her father, Morrow was addicted to alcohol and could not take care of the child at all. In the end, she lived with her mother, Barbara.

In the days to come, Jennifer rarely saw this father in her life, and she was more resentful of her father Morrow.

Originally, the heroine chance of "Yanwa Biography" was hers. But his legal guardian father, Vic Morrow, refused to sign, giving up the opportunity to the famous Brooke Shields in vain.

Jennifer angrily changed her guardian to her mother through the court, and then changed her surname from Morrow to Leigh.

And now Vic Morrow has actually asked Jennifer Jason Leigh to offer to delete the special scene in the movie "Fast-Paced Richmond High School".

"You're very talented, Jenny, you don't know how proud I am to see you on the show 'The Best Little Girl in the World', the anorexic you play, very real."

Vic Morrow went to a tavern next to his daughter's single apartment, met his daughter, and was very excited about his daughter's acting skills.

"You lost less than 100 pounds to play her, and your mother called and cried, but I'm very happy that my daughter is an excellent actress, and you can have a place in Hollywood without all those nudity scenes..."

"But you can't be famous playing that." Jennifer interrupted Morrow coldly. He has played several roles in TV stations that require great acting skills, but who knows himself?

"Don't talk like that, Jennifer. I know I haven't given you enough attention in the past, but I've quit drinking, I'm taking anger management classes, and I can get Spielberg's movie project to star in, and I'll give it to you later. Found great movie characters. Trust me..."

"Dream it!" Jennifer Jason Lee refused to continue listening to Morrow's words, and turned away. Now that she's an adult, she can make decisions about her acting career.

Morrow got up and chased, but was hit by the waiter who came to check and almost fell to the ground. After holding the wall to stabilize her figure, she saw that Jennifer had left the pub and stopped a taxi to leave.

"Fxck!" Morrow yelled, grabbing the glass from the table and throwing it on the ground.

"Crack!" The waiter was at a loss.

"Sir...please calm down."

"Give me a double serving of Jack Daniels, no, a bottle, no ice."

Meanwhile, Ronald got a call to go to Universal to chat with producer Lin Sen about the release.

"Universal can't possibly give too many marketing resources to a small production with a production cost of 3.1 million. If you have ideas like implanted advertising, you might as well say it together."

"How can I have so many good ideas?" Ronald laughed. "How many theaters do you expect to go to?"

"It depends on the effect of the final film. Generally speaking, after the end of the summer vacation in July every year, there is a period of less competition. Your film will be released at that time, and it is very hopeful that you will win more theaters to open. Painting, after that, it depends on your box office performance.”

"I see." Ronald nodded in understanding. After the summer break, before the start of school in September, and during the holidays of the high school student group, this is actually not a big problem for youth films like "fast-paced".

This kind of movie with a relatively single target audience, as long as accurate marketing is done to the target audience, the box office will not be too bad.

The painting opened at the end of July this year, and "Endless Love" starring Bo Ji Xiaosi performed well at the box office, and has already earned 30 million box office.

Director Zeffirelli told himself that PolyGram completely miscalculated the target audience of the film. The target audience for young couples only accounted for 10% of the final audience, and more than 80% of the audience were junior high school girls.

Even when all the marketing materials were misplaced, it was all thanks to the word-of-mouth communication of movie audiences. Teenage girls have the habit of chatting often, and a movie that suits their tastes appeared, and the effect of word of mouth was very good.

Ronald also has confidence in his own film. There are not many movies about teenagers growing up in today's movie market.

Although major studios have seen this trend of moviegoing crowds, whether it's the story of Disney's "Texas" rural Oklahoma or Paramount's musical "Grease 2", the story is A long way from the main moviegoing crowd.

What teenage high school students want to see is the stories that happen around them, the same urban teens in grades 10-12, how they deal with the various troubles in their lives.

"It seems that you are already very confident. I will wait for you to come back and edit after the New Year's holiday." Lin Sen shook hands with him, wishing Ronald a smooth vacation home.

"By the way, I received a message from a company executive this morning, asking if you can cancel Jennifer Jason Lee's nude scene." Lin Sen said casually at the end.

"why?"

"If you feel the need, then ignore them. Universal is an established studio with a lot of outdated seniors at the top of the company."

Ronald nodded, and there were a lot of "high-level people" giving a look at the movie, which is a common problem with the big studios. Unlike a small company like New World, you can rely on Roger Coleman to decide.

"Rhythm of Richmond High School" has a limited marketing budget and relies mainly on word-of-mouth communication from its audience. In this case, the importance of these shots has risen, and I felt that I could not cut them out.

In order for a movie to be talked about, in addition to its wonderful content, it must also have a selling point that can be clearly stated in one sentence, so that the audience can recommend it to friends.

The reason why "Endless Love" was able to get a good box office under the condition of estimating the wrong target audience is because it is convenient to spread. Any middle school girl can say to her classmates and friends, "Do you know how much the heroine Jed's boyfriend loves her?"

If the other party is interested, you can list a series of infatuation behaviors of the hero David, sneak into Jade's bedroom, set fire to her house, run out of the mental hospital to find Jade who has moved, and so on.

Ronald noticed this while watching the preview. I also want to add some elements that are convenient for dissemination in my own movies.

The Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Phoebe Cates play, is what he needs to craft and spread easily.

"Why would the higher-ups take care of an actress?" Ronald still didn't quite understand and asked the producer Lin Sen.

"Because Jennifer's father is Vic Morrow, he used to be a popular TV star. In the circle, a male star of the right age always has some extra power." Lin Sen explained that Ronald didn't understand. a bit.

"It's him?" Ronald recalled the man who broke into the scene on the day he signed for the filming, "but, you also said it, Mr. Linson. He was a 'once' TV star, why is an outdated male star also Can you interfere with filming?"

"It's a bit too demeaning to say that Morrow is too old. Male stars always have a great influence, not even limited to the film circle." Lin Sen smiled, "You know the recent big events in Hollywood, Natalie Wood Death case?"

"I know." After Ronald finished filming, his family made up a lot of entertainment news during the filming.

At the end of November when he was busy shooting, the famous Hollywood actress fell into the water on her yacht and died.

"What does this have to do with the influence of male stars?"

"Go and find out for yourself, it's spread all over the circle." Lin Sen was reluctant to discuss more details with Ronald, "The male stars who were once popular all have social influence far surpassing that of female stars.

Male stars have a long career. As long as they are popular, the audience will remember you. Maybe there is a movie that will make them popular, Morrow is only 52 years old, and has nearly a decade of career. So someone will give him some face to pass a word. "

Ronald didn't know why. After returning to the hotel, he browsed the entertainment newspapers from last month, and finally got to know some of the issues mentioned in the reports.

It turns out that Natalie Wood, the actress she dated at the Golden Globes dinner, had a bad relationship with her husband, Robert Wagner, who cheated on another actress while filming the TV series.

When Wood boarded the ship, in order to make her husband Wagner jealous, he also deliberately took actor Christopher Walken, who was rumored to be making a movie together, on the ship.

When Natalie Wood fell into the water, someone on a nearby boat had heard the voice of a woman calling for help. But with such a big suspicion, the district attorney easily gave up the prosecution.

Ronald felt that Lin Sen's suggestion was a bit exaggerated. The district attorney has great power, and one person can decide whether to prosecute the suspect. Murderer?

Ronald thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called his agent, Nisita, who was well-informed and might know something.

"It is said that Natalie Wood's funeral wore a mink coat with a raised collar to hide a visible scar on her face."

"Ah? Is there really a problem?" Ronald was a little surprised. Does this happen to America?

"Oh, at that time you were filming a movie, and the TV station had a lot of interviews, and the district attorney said it was caused by hitting the side of the ship when it fell into the sea."

"That's also possible, isn't it? District Attorneys don't always talk nonsense?"

"But Natalie Wood is afraid of water by nature, she doesn't even swim." Nisita told Ronald a little bit of rumors in the circle, "Her sister Lana, in the circle, talked about her sister's fear of water. But It's no use."

Ronald, who put down the phone, sighed with emotion. A big national star died so easily. It seems that male stars do have some influence.

However, I still insist on keeping the scenes of Jennifer and Phoebe in the editing. Vic Morrow is not a popular movie star. What can I do for Jennifer to sign and agree to shoot?

He couldn't beat himself even an alcoholic.
