Hollywood Road

?

Wearing a well-fitting beige professional suit, the feet are four inches high, and the long blond hair is scattered behind the head like silk, walking down the promenade belonging to the production department of the Fox Building, Karafes She didn't hide her feelings, she wanted everyone to see that she was successful and strong, and this department would soon be replaced by a female director!

It was a matter of character as well as a tactic, because Karafes knew very well that Dave Scola, whose office was on the same floor, would definitely be able to see it.

She is putting pressure on the opponent. Only when the pressure is strong enough can Dave Scola make more moves and make more mistakes.

Passing by the door of Dave Scola's office, Karafes walked to the end of the corridor and turned into his office.

"Hello, Miss Firth."

In a room outside the suite office, the female secretary greeted her. She could tell that her boss was in a particularly good mood today. She followed her into the inner office. Karafes sat down behind the desk and picked up the water glass. After taking a sip, as in the past, the temperature is just right.

The female secretary took out a sheet of 4 papers from the folder, put it on the table in front of Karafes, and said, "This is your itinerary for today."

Carafes picked up the itinerary and looked at it. The female secretary continued, "Director Stanton's agent, Bill Rosses, just called and asked us to continue to put pressure on the publicity department to further ignite the topic."

"Well, I see." Carafes nodded, "I will communicate with someone."

The phone rang suddenly, and Karafes glanced at it. It was the company's internal number. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Karafels."

"It's me, Li." It was the person in charge of the market research department who called, "Congratulations, Kara, the first shot in the company has been fired."

"Thank you." Karafis smiled faintly, "Murphy did a good job."

The other side said, "It's because of your cooperation."

The other party seemed to have made this call specifically to say congratulations, and then hung up. This call seemed to be the beginning. In the following time, the phones on Karafes' desk rang one after another. The people in charge of most departments of the company People, almost all called congratulations.

In another office not far from this office, it was deserted. It was also a suite office.

The secretary sitting outside felt as if he was sitting in an ice cellar. In the room of his immediate boss, there was an extreme coldness that seemed to be able to freeze people.

She sits here quietly, and never enters the office without a call. No one wants to be someone else's venting tool.

In the office, Dave Scola didn't have any expression on his face, because he knew very well that he might really face strong competition from a woman.

He originally knew that Karafels was a very strong woman, otherwise he would not be able to get to where he is today, but the other party is just a novice in the film industry, and trying to squeeze him out to become the director of the production department is simply a daydream.

Although Karafes caused some troubles in the Kingdom of Heaven project, those who can cause troubles may not be able to make successful movies, and Deadpool itself is only a second-line comic book hero, not to mention his limited influence. Only $60 million is nothing.

Moreover, he also learned of a situation a few months ago. Because the crew did not have enough budget, Murphy Stanton and Karafis actually made a funny scene at the finale of the film, asking Deadpool to put a gun full of ammunition The scene where the backpack was forgotten in the taxi, in order to avoid the costly shooting of the big scene and the hot scene, just replaced it with some low-end close hand-to-hand combat.

At that time, he almost burst out laughing, and wanted to run up to those two guys and ask them, are you making a movie or playing a game of house?

The results of it? This so-called joke, not only did not affect the reputation of the Deadpool movie among the audience, but it became a meme that was talked about on the Internet.

On the computer screen in front of Dave Scola, there is a striking comment from the audience, "The biggest stalk of the film is actually the final battle with Deadpool leaving the weapons and ammunition in the taxi and forgetting to pick them up, saving the crew the cost of creating a big scene , Murphy Stanton is too witty to be admired!"

"agree!"

"Murphy Stanton is a typical example of doing big things with little money."

There were voices of approval and agreement under this comment. It seemed that all movie fans had been brainwashed by Murphy Stanton and Carafes.

Even such a practice of cutting corners and materials can be used for self-entertainment? Do fans who like Deadpool have problems with their heads? Have they all been hit by pigs? Did you get into the water without an umbrella when it rained?

Dave Scola looked puzzled, what happened to this market? Is this still the North American film market I know?

He closed this page, revealing the official blog of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times below. The most eye-catching thing on the blog is the box office statistics of the first day of this weekend.

Even if it is suspected that the audience has problems with their heads and water, it is an indisputable fact that they paid for Deadpool.

"p;p;;Deadpool topped the North American Friday box office, breaking the single-day box office record on Friday in April and the first-day opening record for North American films in April!"

In just one day of its release, Murphy Stanton and Carafes teamed up to break two records in North American film history!

It is impossible for the company's top management to turn a blind eye to this point, and these will become the competitive capital of Karafes!

The following is the specific box office description. Dave Scola didn't want to watch it, but suppressed his boredom and forced himself to watch it. Only by knowing enough about the competition can we be invincible.

"The North American film market, which has been silent for several weeks, finally ushered in a heavyweight masterpiece this weekend. The superhero movie Deadpool directed by Murphy Stanton, a young director with a distinctive personal style, produced and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, will be released in North America this Friday. The market opened on a large scale, and easily won 7.52 million US dollars in the early stage on Thursday, and another 20.08 million US dollars in one day on Friday. According to the current market calculation rules, the early stage is included in the calculation of the box office on the first day. On the day of its premiere, Samurai easily scored 27.6 million US dollars at the box office, becoming the new holder of the box office record on Friday in April, and at the same time broke the record for the first day of opening in the North American film market in April."

This figure makes Dave Scola feel very dazzling, because this is only one day's box office, and it is still Friday, and under normal circumstances it will rise on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Times also made predictions below. Those numbers are no longer dazzling, but heartbreaking!

"This newspaper expects Deadpool to take in $75 million by the end of the weekend, well ahead of 20th Century Fox's $30 million to $45 million estimate."

This kind of estimate is almost catching up with the box office of Men of War 2 in the first week. You must know that Men of War 2 is the sequel to the big-selling series, and Deadpool did not have any fan base before!

Dave Scola's greatest hope is that Deadpool's box office will drop sharply today, and he will perform a joke of driving high and low.

But the statistics below made it clear to him that this so-called hope is nothing more than a delusion. Since Murphy Stanton entered Hollywood, which film has not exploded with audience and professional reputation at the same time?

"While Deadpool's box office is rising, word-of-mouth is also strong. According to the evaluation given by NSR, Rotten Tomatoes also has a freshness rating of 86%. With the protection of word-of-mouth, Xiaojianjian's box office will continue to rise in the future."

It will continue to rise! will continue to rise

This line of words is like a knife, through Dave Scola's eyes, deeply engraved into his mind, it doesn't matter what the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is, what matters is the audience score given by nsr, this It almost means that Deadpool will not only drive high and go high this weekend, but he may also have full stamina!

Dave Scola's heart was churning unconsciously, Deadpool's North American box office will definitely not be 150 million US dollars! How much would that be? $200 million? or higher?

Different from before, at this moment, Dave Scola deeply felt the threat. The success of a film is nothing, what if Karafels succeeds in succession? It will inevitably threaten its own position.

His gaze on the computer screen finally landed on the name Murphy Stanton. With his help, Karafels has a very high possibility of continuing to succeed.

Dave Scola closed his eyes, and Murphy Stanton's resume appeared in his mind very clearly. This young director who was just twenty-four, since he entered Hollywood, not only has every film he directed sold well, but all of them have used Relatively low cost in exchange for super high returns.

Carafes has help from Murphy Stanton

"Deadpool's big sale is not without benefits," Dave Scola turned off the computer, "at least let me see where Calafos is strongest and where it is deadliest."

"Murphy Stanton!" He tapped his fingers on the table, "Murphy Stanton!"

As long as the combination of Calafes and Murphy Stanton can be dismantled, the future situation will definitely be very different.

Dave Scola gradually regained his confidence, "It's just a successful film, as long as I can continue to be successful, the position of director is still mine!"

He turned his head slightly and looked at the wall on one side of the office. It was an elaborate poster showing Orlando Bloom and Eva Green in medieval costumes.

Although there is no super big production led by him released this year, next year there will be a huge production like Kingdom of Heaven, which is bound to win back a victory.

"In order to prevent accidents," Dave Scola also made a decision, "I want to further participate in the production." To be continued. ..
