Coolidge, Arizona.

When "Lola Run" was just released, in the face of a lot of praise in the media, most of the crew still just thought that Simon was a slightly more talented young man.

However, with the release of the film's box office data, in recent days, everyone's eyes on Simon have been significantly different, even Catherine.

It grossed $6.97 million in its first week.

Such data, twenty years later, may not even be as good as a fraction of the box office in the first week of a super blockbuster. But in the 1980s, especially when the film had only 207 screens, it was enough to surprise many people's attention.

You must know that in 1986, of the 451 films released in North American theaters, less than 90 films with a total box office of more than 6.97 million US dollars. That is to say, in this era, more than 80% of Hollywood's films every year, the total North American box office is less than "Lola Run" for more than a week.

And, for "Lola Run," the first-week box office is obviously just the beginning.

Judging from the film's current reputation and media popularity, "Lola Run" has been successfully promoted to a standard "event film", which is Hollywood's general term for films that have achieved far more unexpected social responses and box office data.

Before "Lola Run", only "The Exorcist", "Star Wars", "Jaws", "Alien et" and other movies could be called event movies, but "Star Wars" and so on The film is still a commercial film by Hollywood standards.

Although Hollywood also has successful low-cost films such as "Mad Max", the total North American box office of "Mad Max" in that year was only more than 8 million US dollars, which is dazzling, but far less than "Lola Run" is such a miracle that the box office in the first week has exceeded the production cost by 10 times.

Now, "Lola Run" is equivalent to creating a precedent for low-cost and high-box-office films similar to "Blair Witch" and "Ghost Record" in the original time and space.

In addition, what is even more frightening to some people is some media's predictions about the box office prospects of "Lola Run".

$150 million to $200 million.

It is still a box office number that will not look too special after 20 years.

However, in the whole of North America, even if you count "Field Platoon", which was only expected to break 100 million, in fact, there were only five Hollywood films that achieved a box office of 100 million in North America in 1986.

Among them, "Top Gun", which made Tom Cruise a world-class superstar, ended up with only $176 million at the North American box office.

Then, watch "Lola Run" again at this time.

The total North American box office is expected to be 150 million to 200 million US dollars, which means that if the next Hollywood movie released this year is a little less upbeat, the 1987 North American box office champion is likely to be a film with a production cost of only 650,000 US dollars. Solo movie take away.

18 years old.

$650,000.

The first movie in my life.

North American box office champion.

Many people seem to be watching a legend be born.

The hotel where the crew of "Blood Night" stayed.

The time is Saturday, February 21st.

In the simply remodeled screening room, the film's main creators are watching the footage shot just this week.

As a director's assistant with a fixed weekly salary, Simon was not required or qualified to appear on such occasions.

Last week, though, Catherine took him to see the demos in person. It's just that Simon didn't have any say at that time, and was basically just on the sidelines.

This week, it was the producer Edward Feldman who personally spoke at noon, hoping that Simon could participate in this job, and also offered to change his assistant director position to assistant director, just like Catherine in "Lola Run" " as in the same position.

Simon naturally didn't mind helping, but he also understood that Edward Feldman wanted to use his name in the future film release. Although he agreed to watch the sample and participate in the discussion, he did not accept the other party's re-signing of the contract. Suggest.

In the screening room, after a scene of Kalebo kneeling in front of May sucking her blood was played, Catherine pressed pause and subconsciously looked at Simon, who was sitting on the other side of the viewing machine.

"There are still some minor problems with the lighting, but it can be adjusted in the later stage," Simon said, but added: "It's just that I think the emotional changes of the two people in this scene are too frequent, and it is difficult for the audience to appreciate you. What kind of emotion do you want to show?"

After listening to Catherine, she said, "This is a progression and sublimation of the relationship between Kalebo and May."

Simon considered for a moment and said, "Then, it is even more necessary to convey a strong emotion to the audience here. Maybe this can be done to add an intimacy scene."

Catherine listened to the nth "maybe this" after Simon joined the group, and had some inexplicable emotions in her heart, but said: "I'm afraid this will not work, there is no clause in the contract between Adrian and Jenny that involves intimacy."

Katherine said, and looked at producer Edward Feldman.

Edward Feldman also shook his head regretfully, and said, "Simon, the crew's funds are very tight. There must be more money to modify the contract, and the two of them should not agree easily."

Simon smiled and said: "I don't mean the kind that needs to be undressed, just the back, kissing, hugging, feeling the scorching sun in the rising sun, as if about to die for love.

couples who hide themselves in the dark until the last moment. "

Having said that, Simon also picked up the pen and simply drew a sketch on the notebook.

Catherine and Edward Feldman listened carefully and quickly agreed to Simon's plan, deciding to add a scene just now.

After discussing like this until the evening, someone knocked on the door of the projection room, and then Janet appeared at the door.

Simon was a little surprised. Janet didn't mention that she was coming, and quickly got up to meet her. Catherine and Edward Feldman and others also stood up.

Simon and Janet hugged and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to come here?"

Janet blinked and looked at Simon: "Don't you know?"

Simon was also a little confused: "What do I know?"

Janet stared at Simon for a moment, confirming that he really didn't know why, and then changed the subject with a flash of slyness: "I'm not alone, Mr. Peter Sanders of Fox is also here."

Having said that, Jenny gestured behind her, let go of Simon, and went to say hello to Catherine and the others.

Simon was not as surprised by the arrival of Peter Sanders, the vice president of Fox, as Jenny, and the intention of the other party's arrival was easy to guess, so he just stepped forward, smiled and shook hands with the other party.
