hollywood entertainment mogul

In its second week of release, "Immoral Deal" grossed a box office of 34.53 million US dollars, ranking first at the box office for two consecutive weeks. Currently, the cumulative box office is 84.78 million US dollars. It is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars.

When the movie was a hit, the producer, LV Pictures, was also at the forefront of public opinion, with some people criticizing it and others criticizing it.

Those who brag are touting LV Pictures' strong ability to attract money. From "Basic Instinct" to "Mexican" to "Immoral Deal", every year there is a movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America.

With a box office of over 100 million, it can be ranked in the top ten in the annual box office rankings, and it has been on the list for three consecutive years. This is something that even the seven major film studios may not be able to achieve.

The success of LV Pictures makes people in the industry envious, and many people seek cooperation with LV Pictures to learn from its successful experience.

In order to promote the film and expand their network, Duca and Monica were invited to attend more than ten Hollywood producer cocktail parties to exchange experiences and insights with their peers.

Most of the time it was Monica who did the communication and he did the inscrutability.

Because of his performance in the promotion of "Mexican" and the rumors that these three billion-dollar film projects are all decided by him, even if he says nothing, he will be regarded as a master who is familiar with film business operations.

During the exchange, someone fabricated an internal research material on the ‘LV Film Investment Success Study’ based on what he and Monica said.

The information has more than 30 pages and more than 60,000 words. It is said that this information has been sold for 2,000 US dollars per copy.

Duca asked his secretary to buy a copy. After reading it, his eyes were opened and he learned a lot from it.

Compared with those who praise LV Pictures, there are more people who dislike LV Pictures or more powerful people.

Those who criticize him mainly focus on two points. First, they criticize the way the movie is promoted, saying that LV Pictures and Columbia like to make big news and occupy public media resources.

The second point of attack is the content of the movie. After the release of "Immoral Deal", it caused widespread controversy throughout society.

Some people are discussing who is better, male or female, who is more suitable for the heroine, and who is more attractive, Brad Pitt or Robert Redford?

Some people are discussing whether one million can buy love? Who is the bad guy and the victim in the love business? To this end, the TV station also produced several programs to ask the guests about their views on the 'love business'.

In addition, the film has been strongly criticized by female boxing organizations. They believe that using money to buy love, or even women, is objectifying women and is discriminatory against women.

Whether it is criticism or praise, "Immoral Deal" is completely popular. The box office exceeded 100 million on the 20th day of its release, and the box office in North America reached 137 million in the five weeks after its release.

This movie became the first movie in 1993 to have a box office of over 100 million, and was also the most popular movie in the first half of the year.

According to the original contract signed with Colombia, LV Pictures owns 55% of the North American box office share of "Immoral Deal", 20% of overseas distribution, and 15% of DVD video distribution.

LV Pictures' first-phase revenue reached 75 million, and subsequent overseas and video revenue sharing will not be much less than this figure.

With an investment of 28 million yuan, revenue of around 130 million yuan, and a profit of five times, the success of LV Pictures is enviable.

The publisher, Columbia Pictures, will earn at least 40 to 50 million from this cooperation, and is also a winner.

The box office was a hit, and LV Pictures held a big party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, inviting many acquaintances in the industry to attend. This time the guests invited were of a higher quality.

For example, Mario Caesar, vice chairman of Sony Group and chief producer of Carlock Films, David Geffen, Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, the Weinstein brothers, etc., there are several who are worth over 100 million, and the rest are

Almost all of them are big and small celebrities.

"Duka, your parties are getting bigger and bigger now. I feel like if I don't work hard, I won't be qualified to attend your party next time."

Nicolas Cage was wearing a suit, shaking his wine glass and smiling.

"That's an exaggeration. You are always welcome in my party."

Duca smiled.

"Haha, I remember this. I will become a homeless man in the future, and you can't kick me out."

Nicolas Cage laughed.

Duca shook his head. Cage was a second-generation rich man with several billionaires in his family. Even if his investment failed and went bankrupt in the future, and his family was ruined, he would at least be a millionaire.

"How many movies are there this year?"

"Part three, what, you have a script?"

Nicolas Cage asked.

"Not yet, but there will be in the future."

Duca smiled.

"Okay, call me anytime if you have a script. I promise to shoot your script at the front. But you also have to make sure it's a good script. I haven't been a leading actor with a box office of over 100 million yuan yet. That one is Brad Pitt.

The newcomers are so lucky.”

Nicolas Cage looked at Brad Pitt in the crowd and sighed.

"Don't be envious. In a few years, your movie box office may exceed 100 million. After all, inflation is quite serious now, and the box office will also expand."

Du joked.

"Hey, you really don't know how to comfort people."

Cage curled his lips.

After chatting for a while, after Cage left, Brad Pitt saw the opportunity and ran over to talk. In his words, he praised him, thanked him for his cultivation, and looked like he wanted to hug his lap.

Direct enough!

Duca smiled, Brad Pitt was indeed lucky this time.

It has only been three years since he debuted, and he has played supporting roles in three movies, but this time he is able to work with popular A-list actor Demi Moore and veteran actor Robert Redford.

Two old men and a newcomer, this kind of lineup is like LV Pictures deliberately created this drama to praise him. Some third-rate tabloids also suspected that Pitt was a pretty boy, but at this time, Pitt's face was indeed quite pale.

After sending away Pete, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore walked over side by side. Both of them are members of the poker game and A-list celebrities.

Bruce Willis plays the third male lead in "Pulp Fiction", and Demi Moore is the heroine of "Abstract". Both of them have collaborated with him.

"Duka, congratulations, you once again proved to everyone that your movie will never disappoint."

Bald Bruce Willis laughed.

"Haha, it can also be said that Demi once again proved to everyone that her acting skills will never disappoint."

Duka hugged the other person's shoulders and smiled.

"Thank you, Duka. Remember to come to me next time you have a script like this."

Demi Moore chuckled.

"No problem, you guarantee the box office."

The year before last, Demi Moore published a pregnancy photo on the cover of Vanity Fair, which caused huge controversy. This time, she played a very controversial role in an equally controversial movie. She has been criticized a lot recently.

But that doesn't matter. This movie has good box office and reputation. It is Demi Moore's movie with the best box office reputation except "The Last Day Out".

After this movie, her salary will at least double to more than 12 million, which is almost the same as Julia Roberts.

It's a pity that her vision is not good. After divorcing Bruce Willis, her movie roles became worse and worse. She also started a sister-sister relationship with Ashton Coetzee, who was 16 years younger, and her popularity also dropped from the top.

Go to the ground floor.

Duca looked at the bald Bruce Willis with some surprise. He didn't expect this guy to have a wife.

"Duka, when are you going to play cards next time? Schwarzenegger said he wanted to get to know you."

Bruce Willis asked. He and Schwarzenegger are neighbors and have a good relationship.

"Okay, I'll call you in advance next time I go."

"Haha, that's it."

After chatting for a few words, the couple backed away again.

"Honey, do you want to take a rest?"

Monica came over and took his arm.

"It doesn't matter, don't forget that your boyfriend is an athlete."

Duca smiled.

"Yes, I haven't forgotten it, but last time someone said I only practiced finger exercises."

Monica joked.

Duka laughed and was about to speak when Yunori Ohga, vice chairman of Sony Entertainment, walked over and wanted to talk to him about something.
