Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

But he knew that if he wanted to mess around in Hollywood, he must not offend Steve Kevin.

The salary is secondary, as long as you become a superstar, all kinds of advertising endorsements can not earn this money back, there is no need to be entangled in the salary, and miss the opportunity in vain.

Kevin nodded and said:

"Tomorrow, you go to Sunrise Film Company to sign a contract, the movie will start shooting next year, you go to practice the movements of the racing driver, be professional enough, and practice a lot in acting."

"Good."

Johnson agreed.

After negotiating with Johnson, Kevin left here and went straight home.

At present, Kevin has won the movie rights of three masterpieces of Pokémon, Transformers, and Special Forces.

Among them, the Pokémon must be Kevin himself, and he is not at ease with others, but this movie Kevin is ready to make in two years.

The current special effects technology, if you want to create good effects, the cost is too high, and you can reduce the cost in two years.

Transformers he is ready to hand over to Mitt to shoot, Mitt and Michael Bay's style is also more similar, plus Kevin's mention, I believe he can restore the essence of Transformers well.

As for the special forces, Kevin is ready to place it and wait for the Russo brothers to shoot later.

Of course, superhero movies can't stop, but three movies in a row, the heat brought by it has not dissipated, and you can't bomb too much at once.

Kevin is ready to go cold and continue to refine his world view through comics and TV series before continuing to shoot.

Kevin himself, on the other hand, is ready to make a Fast and Furious film first.

This kind of original series can be described as making one less, and Kevin of course has to grab this big IP early.

At the same time, for the sake of the good movie, he gave up the actor Vin Diesel and selected the newcomer Johnson, which can greatly reduce the contradictions of the crew.

But there are more things this year, Harry Potter is about to be released in the Christmas file, Kevin has no time to start work for the time being, and can only be postponed to next year.

Tom Cruise's home.

Tom Cruise's face was full of trouble.

As a superstar, his connections are naturally impossible to underestimate.

The news that Warner Bros. can get, he can also get, which naturally contains various data of Green Lantern.

The first day of more than 40 million US dollars, this result is naturally not bad.

But he also knows exactly what this poor reputation and attendance mean.

With the help of the Mission Impossible series, he spread his fame all over the world and became a superstar.

That doesn't mean he'll always be a superstar.

As long as the film loses money several times in a row, he will immediately be regarded as box office poison by major film companies.

Such a reality in Hollywood is very clear.

But he still has a way back, just by virtue of Nicole Kidman's relationship with Steve Kevin, he only asked to go to the door, and Steve Kevin would definitely help him.

Anyway, he and Nicole Kidman are playing their own game, and it is also a very good opportunity to use Nicole Kidman in exchange for the protagonist of a new movie by Steve Kevin.

Of course, this is all a last resort, and if the subsequent decline in the box office of the film is not large, this trick naturally does not need to be used.

On this night, Warner Bros., Tom Cruise, and Kevin all had their own thoughts.

Happy or sad, or very worried about Green Lantern.

-------------------------------------

the next day.

On top of countless media in the United States, there have been many bad comments about Green Lantern.

In the case of not many bad reviews, film companies will generally PR, but once it is really bad, it leads to too many bad reviews.

Even studios can't help it.

It's really not PR.

There are no less than thousands of large and small news media in the United States, and they really want public relations one by one, not to mention manpower and material resources, this amount alone, without tens of millions of dollars, really can't be beaten.

Inside Warner Bros.

All the executives looked at the newspaper in front of them and fell silent one by one.

[Green Lantern, a cliché superhero movie, I really doubt that Warner understands movies, how can they always make such bad movies that insult the eyes of the public. ]

[Tom Cruise, still only pretends to be cool, and other than that, nothing. [

One and a half billion dollars, I don't know where the production money goes, incompetent directors, paralyzed actors, and waste producers, that's everything Green Lantern is all about. 】

····

The overwhelming invective is concentrated on the movie.

From the director to the actors, producers, and producers, there is no one who is not scolded.

The reason is very simple, Green Lantern, as a national big IP, its filming, failed to let the audience feel the surprise itself is a sin.

Just like the mainland's Journey to the West remake, no matter what the effect of the remake is, there will always be only a part of being scolded.

In the conference room, it was a dull morning, and then the person who delivered the box office data came.

Robinoff couldn't wait to take the data, and then saw the box office data.

"President, how much box office was there yesterday?"

“···"

Executives asked.

Robinov had an ugly expression and slowly said the data for the next day.

"Thirty-two million."

The room fell silent.

More than 30% of the decline, which means that the theater side will immediately force the reduction of the schedule, even Warner Bros. face does not work.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of large companies, as long as the decline is not exaggerated, how to arrange the film will be stable for a week.

But once this happens, no matter how big the face, it affects the theater side to make money, and there is still no face left.

After calming his mood, Robinoff said:

"Everyone, next, all the publicity of Green Lantern stops, and we must recover the loss to the greatest extent."

"The theater side tries to negotiate as much as possible, if you can go offline a day later, you will go offline a day later, and try to make up for some losses."

"Also, in terms of public opinion, we must control it and not let the gun be pointed at our company."

"It's best for everyone to blame Tom Cruise for his acting skills."

“···"

The executives nodded.

As long as the Green Lantern defeat is carried by Tom Cruise, the responsibilities of these executives and Robinoff, the president, can be greatly reduced.

They just have to declare that they chose the wrong actor.

The unanimous statement is that everyone believes too much in Tom Cruise's acting skills, but I didn't expect that in Green Lantern, his acting skills were undoubtedly exposed.

It's everyone who mistook him.

Although this is bound to be devastating to Tom Cruise, what does this have to do with them?

Such a big investment failure, Tom Cruise is certainly impossible not to back the pot.
