Legendary Hollywood Director
Chapter 717: The macho army is dispatched
Mel Gibson is troubled by the aggressiveness of the Jewish forces, but he is far from alone.
Bobby Weisman is also annoying now, but he is annoying that his own movies are far less popular than "Three Hundred Spartans".
Of course, there will not be only "Sparta" in the works scheduled for November 10.
In fact, because Christmas is so hard to squeeze in, many independent studios are focusing on mid-November when Christmas can be reached.
Smart people are obviously more than just Lehmann.
Bobby Weissman's CraveFilms and HarshTimes' "Extraordinary Times" is also scheduled for that day.
In addition, in the same period, there are also the horror film "Return to the Soul" and the drama "A Beautiful Year"...
Among these films, "Extraordinary Times" has Christian Bale as a publicity topic. After this film was completed, the popularity of "Deadly Magic" was only ranked in November. In fact, it was completed a few months earlier. There is no set file, in order to rub the heat.
"Back to the Soul" is a small cost and makes up the number; "A Year of Beauty" has a combination of great directors Ridley-Scott and Russell-Claw, and there is no lack of screening momentum... However, these two In recent years, Ridley has been unlucky, and his appeal has dropped a lot.
In this way, Sparta is still the most threatening.
Of course, this is just Bobby Weissman's more personal thoughts.
He is still very confident in his own film, and it would be better if there is no "Sparta" involved.
However, the schedule dispute, the closer to a good schedule, the harder it is to avoid.
But what annoyed Bobby the most was Fox's inaction.
Eager Pictures had no distribution capabilities and commissioned Fox for distribution.
But what did they do?
There are 872 curtains, and the location of the theater line is not good, so it is clear that they do not want to contribute.
Asking them for a theory, what he got was a perfunctory attitude and the arrangement was no problem, but unfortunately he couldn't turn his face.
After all, for Fox, this is just a normal distribution business, but for the still weak eager film industry, "Extraordinary Times" is a project they attach great importance to.
What is the situation is stronger than people.
Bobby Weisman is in a hurry here, but Fox doesn't care. Anyway, they only take a cut of this movie, so the risk is very small, and even the smaller the risk, the easier it may be for them to share the profit.
Most of the distribution companies are so reckless, they talk about the theater chain, and the theater chain resources are not arranged by them...
Everything was blocked, the contract was signed, and I couldn't go back.
As a result, Bobby Weisman could only see that "Sparta" became more and more popular day by day, whether it was the popularity or the media and newspapers, it was a one-sided crush.
People are the headlines of the entertainment page, and "Extraordinary Times" can only be squeezed to the tofu section at the end, and a little mention of it, such treatment really makes him angry.
Perhaps, he also understood in his heart that if Christian Bale was not invited to play at a high price, there might not even be such a promotional page.
In the end, there are too few resources that the eager film industry can strive for.
Just look at other people's faces, can you recognize it without pinching your nose?
But if you continue to watch it like this, if you haven't released word of mouth, it will be forgotten by the audience. What will you do with the money you put in?
After thinking about it, Bobby Weissman was not reconciled. He felt that he had the power to fight. As long as he gave it publicity, he would be a dark horse.
Called the boss of Ally Screaming Pictures and said they would discuss it.
He has made up his mind to compete with several films, even if Fox does not do anything, they will come out.
Put the chips on the gambling table and let the market see, the movie is not just about who is more popular.
After a while, allies came.
The production cost of "Extraordinary Times" is 20 million, of which Bell, the star, will take 15% of the box office share in North America - the basic salary is low, and naturally it must be made up from other aspects.
In fact, co-production is also often played by independent producers, and the funds are not sufficient, and it is the best choice to maintain operations and reduce risks.
Bobby Weisman sat opposite each other, did not speak immediately, but considered his words while thinking.
The idea for the movie came from David Eyre's fleeting, crazy idea: What would it feel like to kill your best friend? He started thinking about the crisis of male relationships along the way, and made it happen. All in all, the story is not out of the ordinary.
In terms of main creators, Eva Longoria, who became popular because of "Desperate Housewives", can also add a lively and lively color to the solemnity of the film. She played a lawyer who was born in poverty but struggled successfully, played against Bell, and even some. Ambiguous bridges are also very tempting.
In addition, not long ago, the American "Entertainment Weekly" called Christian Bale "one of the most creative people in the entertainment industry", and "Premier" magazine also praised him as "the hottest outstanding actor under the age of 30" one.
No matter from which point of view, there is a basis for competition. This is also the source of his confidence.
"The screening of "Extraordinary Times" still needs to be summed up." - Fox does not give resources and underestimates the film market. The two of us can no longer do our best, and the situation is in jeopardy.
The ally nodded, clearly understanding the situation at this time.
"I'm going to pay for a few newspapers for a week, but the investment is still poor compared to Sparta."
It's a joke, in order to promote "Sparta", Blue Butterfly Pictures will throw in more than 10 million in the early publicity alone.
This is also the reason why Fox is reluctant to contribute - anyway, the film is only distributed on behalf of, there is no need to be too concerned, plus people pour in so much and the momentum is so loud, is it possible that they will also throw money?
Don't do this kind of unpleasant thing.
The allies were more aware of Fox's actions. After listening to Bobby Weissman, they were also dissatisfied with the status quo and replied directly: "How can I cooperate here?"
"Can you contact a few gossip media? Find some professional ones and put black material."
The frontal hard power cannot be compared, so there can only be some ruthless ones.
There are so many actors in "Sparta", not all of them are clean.
To catch some bad things in private, to beat the momentum a little, as long as it doesn't go too far, this is the usual method.
Whether it's true or false, who cares.
"Yes. I'll contact you later."
Knowing a little what the guy's idea was, the ally took it without hesitation.
Co-production, of course, cannot be done alone.
Bobby Weisman nodded, feeling that he was almost done before he said solemnly: "Whether it can make a difference depends on the box office results in the first weekend. If the harvest is good, there must be no reason for Fox to refuse additional screenings."
......
Just when the opponents of the same period were all staring at "Sparta" - there is no way, who makes it seem to be the most awesome on the bright side.
On the evening of November 9, the premiere and screening began.
For this event, Liam specially planned an entrance performance that the actors felt embarrassed and everyone said was good.
On the red carpet, the surrounding audience and the media were surrounded on both sides, a large group of people, and the atmosphere was naturally noisy.
Suddenly, several honored guests passed by, and the troop of macho men who played the Spartans in the play were all naked, wearing scarlet capes and boxer pants, and marched onto the red carpet in such a neat manner.
Really Mai.
One by one is like a rehearsal. It's not like participating in a ceremony. It's marching and fighting. From time to time, I shout a slogan or something. I feel very imposing.
Of course, this is from the perspective of the audience and the media.
Especially compared to the previous very mediocre red carpet show, it looks even more interesting, a clear spring in the turbid current.
In order to cooperate with the propaganda, the machos can be considered to be willing to go out.
It must be quite uncomfortable to be scrutinized by so many eyes~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
But there is no way, work, not to mention that the film scores are good, each of them can enjoy the screening bonus.
So even if I feel awkward in my heart, no matter the expression or posture, it is very generous, and it is still moving forward steadily.
Flashing lights, shouts, and many female audience members are almost spewing out little stars in their eyes - wow, this muscle, tsk tsk tsk... Everyone's figure is so predictable, tsk tsk tsk... Tall and burly, hormonal explosions, ummmmm...
This is like, in the eyes of male audiences, a large group of beautiful ladies and sisters in cool dresses, three-point bikinis, slender and plump line up for the catwalk - if you think about it, you should be able to understand.
In fact, as early as the casting shoot, Liam knew how not to waste this masculine charm that radiates nowhere.
The effect is very good.
In the mood of satisfaction and worthwhile trip, the screening began...
