Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 39
Hard Candy coming out July 19?
"This is not good news, what is the theater party going to do?!" Victor was quite angry.
Zu Ke also narrowed his eyes.
Every year in North America, from the first weekend of May to mid-August, it is the summer season in North America, and it is also a season where blockbusters gather. Many big Hollywood companies can reap huge box office in the summer season.
Of course, this also means that the fighting is extremely tragic!
If this is the case for large companies, it will inevitably lead to small and medium-sized film companies, whose films cannot get enough screens to be screened, and can only be reduced to cannon fodder.
July is the summer season in North America!
Films that cost tens of millions of dollars produced by small and medium-sized film companies will not dare to release them in the summer, for fear of being crushed.
Movies costing tens of millions of dollars are afraid. How can a movie "Hard Candy" that costs less than $1 million dare to compete with blockbusters produced by big companies?
Aren't you afraid of being crushed into cannon fodder?
Obviously, Wald Pictures is not that hard-headed!
"Boss, the theater party is trying to mess with us!"
Victor took out the North American movie schedule for July and watched the high-volume movies above, and his heart couldn't help but burst into anger.
"The Evaporation Order", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "A Different Miracle", "Independence Day", "The Killing Hour", "The Big Wave" and other films, which one is not released by the six major Hollywood productions?
What the hell!
Zucker watched the films released at the end of June and July, and all Nima was hooked!
"Ge Laozi, this is to kill Laozi!"
"These movies are all fucking in the top 40 North American box office charts this year, and no movie has a North American box office less than $50 million!"
Kidney pain.
As far as his own "Hard Candy", which is less than 1 million US dollars in size, can you use these blockbusters?
Hit the stone with the egg, hit the stone with the egg!
"Martha, please contact a few theaters to see if we can arrange our "Hard Candy" to be released in early or mid-August." Zucker said immediately.
"Okay, boss."
Sister Martha immediately called the theater party, but the result was not ideal.
"Boss, several theaters have said that the schedule for August is full and cannot be adjusted. If... if you insist on delaying the release, it will only be in September." Sister Martha's face was also ugly.
"The shit's going to be released in September! The students are all going to school in September, and the movie is for ghosts to watch!" Zu Ke couldn't help but get angry from the bottom of his heart.
Victor looked at Martha and said solemnly: "It will be released on July 19. How many films can they give to Hard Candy?"
There is no hope of adjusting the schedule right now, so I can only make efforts on the screen.
"300 screens in the first weekend. And they also said, this is because our previous movie "Lola Run" made $100 million overseas, otherwise it would be difficult to get 100 screens." Martha The elder sister gritted her teeth.
300 screens?
Enough for what?
The theater party simply regards Hard Candy and Wald Pictures as cannon fodder!
Yes, "Fruit Hard Candy" is a low-cost movie, and it is a niche movie type. It won't get too high box office, but the quality of the movie is good. If you arrange a good schedule, there will always be a box office of 6 million to 10 million US dollars. Yes.
As for now?
It was scheduled to be released in the summer block where the blockbusters gathered, and it was possible to win 3 million US dollars, thank God!
"Boss, do we want to postpone the release of Hard Candy to March/April next year?" Victor suggested.
The schedule in March/April is relatively loose. According to Victor's arrangement, it can indeed make "Fruit Hard Candy" a good box office.
But Zucker didn't want to wait!
"You don't have to wait for next year, just arrange the release on July 19." Zucker gritted his teeth.
"But......"
Victor wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zucker.
In March/April next year, there will be a film called "Savage City", which has a box office of nearly 60 million US dollars in North America, which is enough to smash a number of niche themes.
Although the current summer season is full of blockbusters, "Fruit Hard Candy", a niche movie with a completely different taste, may not fail to get a good box office as long as it is well promoted. It's just very difficult, almost desperate.
In fact, there is another reason Zucker did not say.
The director of this "Hard Candy" is Zach Snyder!
Future Hollywood super director!
Zucker has seen Zach's finished film, and I have to say that it is even better than the original time and space's "Hard Candy". Delaying the release of the film will inevitably lead to a series of unexpected situations. And choosing to face the difficulties will surely make Zach Snyder more grateful to Wald Pictures and deepen the connection between the two, which will be of great benefit to the future.
......
July 4th.
Wald Pictures.
Director Zach Snyder sat on the sofa with an ugly face, his whole body shaking with anger.
"Zach, I'm so sorry. We at Wald Pictures are too weak to give you a good schedule and screen count. After all, Hard Candy is your first official film, I I didn't expect it to be screwed up because of us at Wald Pictures. Well, I'll tell you again, Zucker Wald, sorry~"
Under Zhu Ke's emotional and emotional expression, the expression that seemed to be hit made Zuck feel more guilty.
have a look!
Take a good look!
benefactor!
Great man!
"I, Zach, are just a director, and Mr. Wald is the boss of the film company. The movie "Hard Candy" didn't get a good schedule. He was the one who lost the most, but now he is so comforting and consoling me, this little boy. Director, I..."
Zach felt more and more guilty in his heart: "Maybe I should go back and continue shooting the song MV."
Thinking of this, Zach got up immediately and said solemnly: "Mr. Wald, the movie didn't get a good schedule, it's not your responsibility, it's my responsibility. If...if my directing skills are thicker , will be able to impress more theater parties, so you don't have to say sorry to me, I should apologize to you~!"
After a pause, he continued: "Maybe I'm not suitable to be a director, I don't have the talent for directing, I may keep shooting MVs in the future, I'll just..."
"fart!"
Zucker yelled at him: "Zach! Mr. Zach Snyder, remember, you are a genius, a rare movie genius!"
"Isn't it just a movie. If you lose it, you will lose it. I will value you as a person. As long as you are willing to make it and I still have money, then you can keep making it. If one movie is not good, just make two films, and then it will not work. , let’s take one hundred and eighty films.”
"No money? The big deal is to mortgage the company, I don't believe we can't succeed!"
When the voice fell, Zach was moved.
Look, this motherfucker is the gift of knowing!
At this moment, Zach Snyder, who was so excited, almost knelt down and gave his allegiance, willing to drink, smoke, and burn his head for the old Zhu family.
"Oh, Nima, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have such good acting skills." Zu Ke praised himself in his heart.
The second update of "" is delivered. The Minister once again said thank you to the book friends, thank you for your support, and I will continue to work hard~!
