World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"There are blockbusters released every few days..."

"Seeing that the only one who is happy now may be [The Lone Ranger]."

"The famous Pirate Captain, Depp's other films besides Pirates don't seem to do well at the box office..."

Qin Dong squinted his eyes and pondered.

"[Superman: Man of Steel] North American box office is a bit high, so I have to avoid it."

"[World War Z] also had a box office of 200 million in North America and 500 million worldwide."

"The key is that Sandra Bullock's [Dragon Girl] also did well at the box office..."

"Not to mention that there is actually an animated film among them, Disney's [Monsters University]. This animated film has a better box office than [Bad Girls]."

“[Black Palace Down] is not worth mentioning, but it’s a pity that there are so many movies that did well at the box office in June.”

"May, June, these two months are not allowed, you have to avoid them."

In deep thought, Qin Dong naturally took out his cigar...

"clang..."

Taylor, who was sitting next to Qin Dong, naturally took out his wife's lighter and lit a cigar for his man.

Taylor was already very familiar with Qin Dong's habits.

Any woman who is in love will naturally pay attention to her lover's habits and preferences.

"call..."

Qin Dong took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke.

Qin Dong's unfocused eyes could be seen through the smoke.

"[The Lone Ranger] was released in early July. This movie is a hit."

"Johnny Depp, after leaving the pirate movies, the movies he starred in were basically blockbusters."

"Although I don't remember the specific box office of this movie, it is definitely a hit."

...

"[Red Flame Battlefield 2], this movie seems to be a hit."

"Bruce Willis is already old. Although the first film [Red Flame Battlefield] did well at the box office, the sequel cannot."

...

"[Wolverine 2]...the second part of Uncle Wolf's personal series of movies."

"The global box office seems to be barely around 400 million, and North America is only 100 million..."

"It's a pity that it's not that good. Actually, you don't need to worry about this."

...

"[Underworld Police Station]...starring the widowed sister's ex-husband."

"The famous cuckold. Unfortunately, this guy can only turn around after starring in [Deadpool]. He basically didn't shine in other movies."

"The box office of this hellish movie must be the best among Street Boys."

.......

"It seems that in late July, the movies are not doing well..."

Thinking of this, Qin Dong came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief now that he had a preliminary plan.

Keep browsing the files to see what the movies look like in August.

In fact, August is the end of summer vacation, which is actually not a good time period.

The summer vacation in the United States is quite different from that in China.

The domestic summer vacation does not start until after June, while in the United States it starts in May.

This is why the summer holidays in North America all start in May, and the movies released in May are all super blockbusters.

This year is [Iron Man 3]. In the past few years, super blockbusters such as [Avengers], [Harry Potter Part 7], and [Pirates of the Caribbean] were mostly released in May.

"August 2: [300: Rise of an Empire]."

"Starring: Sullivan Stapleton, Rodrigo Santoro, Eva Green..."

"Only Eva Green is familiar with it, but the other actors are not."

Qin Dong looked at the list of starring actors in this movie and found that most of them were unfamiliar.

The only one I am familiar with is Eva Green, the most famous new generation actress in France after Sophie Marceau, the "Rose of France".

"Eva Green, I like this woman's appearance, but it's a pity that this movie [300] is not worth mentioning."

It’s not that Qin Dong looks down on this movie [300: Rise of an Empire], but this movie itself is an imitation of Zack Snyder’s [300].

Back then, "300" was able to achieve excellent box office results because of the right time, place and people. If it had been released on a different date, the box office probably wouldn't have been as good.

Back when Zach made his debut, he relied on the colorful graphics and the fact that the actors in "300" had all developed muscles. In addition, in the movie, they all wore a pair of shorts and their upper bodies were naked. This series of factors made him successful.

This movie has a global box office of over 400 million.

The oil paintings are attractive at first glance, but they become unsatisfactory the more they are used.

"August 7: [Percy Jackson and the Sea of ​​Monsters]."

"Most of the leading actors are strangers, and the only one I am familiar with is a woman. It seems that only women can keep me in mind."

When Qin Dong saw this, he complained slightly about himself.

In this fantasy movie, among the starring list, the only name that Qin Dong is familiar with is the famous Hollywood "Super Busty" Alexandra Daddario.

Others are not worth mentioning.

"This movie was originally part of a series, but it was a pity that it was released after just one movie."

"August 9: [Elysium Space]."

"An action science fiction movie starring Matt Damon."

Seeing this name, Qin Dong remembered the conflict with Matt and his best friend Ben.

Harvey single-handedly supported these two people. After Harvey had a conflict with Qin Dong, these two people even helped Harvey diss Qin Dong in front of the media.

However, these two people are the kind of people with high emotional intelligence, and they are not perfect at doing things.

After only showing up once, he disappeared and never showed up again. No matter how hostile Qin Dong and Harvey were in the future, the two brothers would always be cowed.

However, Qin Dong holds a grudge and made things difficult for Da Ben's younger brother, who was on Nicole Kidman's crew. This crew was formed based on the script Qin Dong wrote for Nicole, so Qin Dong has the right to speak.

Qin Dong went to visit Ben Nicole and found out that one of the actors was Ben's biological brother, and he got angry about it.

It was only Nicole's persuasion, coupled with the fact that his brother said that his brother was his brother, and Nicole's guarantee, that Qin Dong let this person go.

"August 9th...it looks like I have to give you something nice to look at."

Qin Dong is definitely not big-hearted, and he definitely holds a grudge.

Even if these two people only dissed Qin Dong once in front of the media, just this one time would make Qin Dong remember him till now.

Qin Dong is usually very busy and has no interaction with Matt Damon and Da Ben at all.

Now that I have seized the opportunity, of course I have to cause some trouble for these two people.

"August 16th: [Kick-Ass 2]."

"This movie is a mess, and it's at the end of the summer vacation. The summer vacation will end before it's released. Only movies that are sure to be trash will choose this schedule."

As for the subsequent movies, Qin Dong was actually too lazy to watch more.

The summer vacation here in North America starts in May. Movies released in late August basically do poorly at the box office.

"July, August..."

"When...when...when..."

After closing the document, Qin Dong squinted his eyes and thought, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.

Ordinarily, there are no movies with good box office performance in July, which would be suitable for the release of Qin Dong's new movie, but after seeing "Elysium" in early August, a movie starring Matt Damon, Qin Dong wanted to block this movie.

Even if this movie is not blocked, it will still hit the streets, but Qin Dong wants this movie to hit the streets even more, to the point where he will hit the movie to death.

When Qin Dong was offended, he didn't even come over to apologize. Do you think it would fade away with time?

Qin Dong said that he holds grudges very much.

"Giving up July, which is a better time, to release it in August, this seems to be detrimental to the box office of my movie..."

After thinking about all the benefits, Qin moved his fingers.

Take out your mobile phone from your body:

"Hello, Caesar."

"I will report immediately that the company has completed the post-production of the movie and can release it."

"...Okay, I understand, that's it, I will inform you later."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dong recalled what Caesar, the general manager of his subsidiary Blackwater Longqi Company, had just reported.

Although Blackwater Dragon Flag Company has produced several later films, except for two, the others are all disc movies that can only be released on offline discs.

Only "Divergent" starring Elizabeth Olsen and the horror film "The Conjuring" directed by James Wan can be shown in cinemas.

Of course, [The Hunger Games 2] is also possible, but [The Hunger Games 1] was only released in March. If the second part is to be released, according to normal rules, it would have to be a year later at the earliest.

Qin Dong had no intention of breaking this kind of rule, and just followed the rules.

"[Divergent] or [The Conjuring], which one should I choose to release in August?"

Qin Dong was confused for a moment.

"Divergent" was written and adapted by him, starring Elizabeth Olsen, who was appointed by Qin Dong himself.

James Wan, the director of "The Conjuring", is a genius in horror films. It can also be said that James Wan is a super director among horror films.

This person was coerced by Harvey, and even [The Conjuring] was forced to be taken away by Harvey. It was Qin Dong who rescued James Wen, and got the copyright back, belonging to Blackwater Longqi Company.

Qin Dong values ​​​​James Wan very much. This director makes horror films, which are low-cost, big box office, and absolutely profitable directors.

"Martin, Barry, what day of the week is July 3rd?"

After Qin Dong thought about it comprehensively and determined the release dates of several of his movies, he found something was wrong and raised his head and asked:

"Why are there many blockbusters released on June 28, but there is also a blockbuster movie called Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger released on July 3."

"It seems that the difference between the two is only 5 days, not even a week."

No wonder Qin Dong was confused, usually movies released in North America are usually released on Friday.

Usually, the box office for the first week of a movie's release is usually calculated over three days, which are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The second week's box office is the complete week's box office.

"Oh, Qin, you noticed."

This time it was Warner President Barry Meyer who answered Qin Dong. The old man took a sip of red wine before continuing:

"June 28th is Friday and July 3rd is Wednesday."

"When I saw the information at the time, I was also very surprised. I didn't expect that Johnny, a superstar, would choose to release this super blockbuster on Wednesday."

"It seems that the producer, Walt Disney, is a little unsure about the box office performance of [The Lone Ranger]."

Looking at Barry's expression, Qin Dong understood.

This was specifically told to him that "The Lone Ranger" is actually a Disney movie.

"hehe..."

Qin Dong smiled, then raised his eyebrows. Although his face was smiling, his words were:

"Disney movies, I like them."

"So Barry, and Martin, what do you think of my new movie..."

"Will it be released on July 3 or July 5?"

July 3rd, Wednesday, July 5th, Friday. Usually blockbusters are released on Fridays.

Only those low-budget films will choose to avoid Friday, the fixed release date for blockbusters.
