Ace Hollywood
Chapter 197 This is Daniel
???
Wow, that number is really unexpected.
James Sam looked at the report in his hand, and made an unexpected grimace to his partner, David Lind.
Daniel's special screening held at the Oriental Cinema in early December, although there was no hype, the major media gave a lot of space. After all, the names of those big names alone are enough to attract readers. What's more, the media also crowned The news was reported with creepy headlines such as New Member of Super A-, Hollywood's Youngest Power Man, Super Big Man's Coming of Age Ceremony.
So even though Good Machine Pictures didn't spend too much energy on publicity, the popularity of The Pianist in Los Angeles has been increasing steadily.
This gave them a big surprise when they talked about the scale of screenings.
Originally, they thought they would be thankful for having 30 screens. After all, this is the start of on-demand screening. If the response is good, they hope to start the second phase of distribution at the end of December-limited release. At that time, if there are 3,400 One screen is good enough. The third stage, of course, is the best situation. The Pianist has won several Oscars and will be fully released at the end of March. With the help of Oscar's reputation, it can be opened within the range of about 800 yuan. After all, the main market of The Pianist is still in Europe. Outside of North America, its box office has already exceeded 60 million. For investment , not really making money, but plus North American expectations. It's not a lot of money, but at least it won't be a project that loses money and makes money.
However, James and David were hit by a surprise at the beginning. All the major theater chains have more or less given the screens in the early 10s, and what is even more surprising is that some independent theaters are also quite generous.
This brought the entire screening scale to about 55 yuan.
They knew where the problem was because they completely underestimated the gold content of Daniel's brand, the legend of Greek Wedding. As Hollywood practitioners, they certainly knew it very well. That's the kind of thing any independent studio could wish for.
The significant rise in Daniel's status and power has also strengthened the value of his personal brand.
In fact. During the negotiation with the movie theater, they were asked by many people whether the movie was invested by Daniel Investment Department or dd Films. When the answer is no. The interest of the people in the theater has dropped a lot, but even so, James and the others still have a surprising record.
After the data of the first day of screening came back.
Once again, James and David knew that they had not only underestimated Daniel's status in movie theaters and theaters, but also underestimated his appeal to moviegoers.
The single-day box office of The Pianist was 614,332 US dollars, and a single screen contributed more than 11,000 US dollars.
omg!
James felt that only these three words could express his inner feelings.
This is Daniel?
This is Daniel!
After trying to calm down, James looked back at David, David, maybe we should try to find Daniel to make a movie. Work hard.
But, do we really have to spend so much money to hire him? Will it be too risky?
This is the truth, and the films of Good Machine Pictures may not fail to invite big stars. But many big stars don’t necessarily have to pay 10 to 20 million yuan for each film. Hollywood has so many big investment projects every year. One male lead and one female lead, or two male leads and two female leads, can accommodate various levels The number of stars is not many. More stars can only act in some low-cost films, such as Greek Wedding and The Pianist. Their cast and team may not be weak, but the pay does have to be discounted.
But Daniel is not the same now, he is already one of the group with the highest priority in Hollywood, the 20 million members of the club who have never missed a shot, unless he beats himself, then these big productions will be in the queue The team asked him to choose, and after he had chosen, it would be the turn of others. Under such a premise, unless the script of the good machine can impress him, and then add an extra part to the budget to pay his salary, otherwise he wants to cooperate, I'm afraid it will not be possible in the last two years.
Of course, there is another most important factor. Daniel will retire in 2004—and his job schedule in 2003 is almost full.
Even so, I'm afraid there will be no chance of cooperation until 2005, if his pension budget is for one year.
At this point, James can see clearly enough, I think we should see what suitable roles are available, and then contact them as soon as possible to arrange a schedule until the beginning of 2005. You don't even know, this young man is now a reality. Banknote Bank, those powerful companies will not let him rest for too long.
Of course, Daniel also has this data in his hands. In fact, since the fighting friendship in Greek Wedding, his team now needs to get box office data. The phone numbers of ten statistical companies, and -'s phone numbers are also available.
Amazing performance, your halo has grown a lot.
Isn't the Colorful Bubble one step closer to bursting?
Kusa just arrived in Burbank today to handle the initial and final investment with Disney. Although the two parties have reached an agreement, these procedures need to be completed without disturbing the media, and it will take some time. Basically, this time Kusa came over and was able to deal with the matter.
Kusa was obviously a little surprised by Daniel's pessimism.
Shouldn't you feel complacent at this time, and then the whole world is in the palm of your hand?
You know better than me, there is no one who will not fail, I am not God, at most I played a counterfeit, oh, yes, I don't know how they are doing, I have ten points of share, anyway. Ten to twenty million.
If only there was a way to describe Koussa's mood. It was probably a situation where a woman pretending to be innocent, took off her pants in a hurry, and said so shy at the same time.
Daniel is like that.
He said no. The tongue is honest.
I just said that I have no confidence in the box office miracle, it is a bubble, but then I turned around and took it for granted that Fake God can have a box office of more than 200 million. According to the share, Daniel's 10 points will be divided into 10 to 20 million, then Universal will be divided into 100 to 200 million, and the total box office will naturally be 200 to 300 million.
Kusa, who was not in the mood and Daniel was polite, had no choice but to turn his attention back to this report.
This thing is estimated to stimulate a lot of people.
Who cares?
certainly. There are many people who care, but Daniel himself is not included.
For example, Saya of the new line. Peter Jackson, Disney executives, and Marvel's Kevin Feige—the more he read this news, the more heartbroken he felt. The plan to cooperate with Daniel Investment Department on The Punisher has been jointly rejected by Marvel and Lions Gate. In other words, now everything is back to where it started.
It's not worse, but no good is worse, isn't it?
Have their plans changed?
This is to say that the machine film industry has performed so well in screenings, and it seems that there is no need to wait for an Oscar with uncertain results.
I've been in touch with them and there's no change, it's business as usual.
A steady choice, oh. Scarlett has finished filming, right?
Kusa hesitated for a moment, but still decided to leave it to Daniel to deal with, Well, yes, she's over, let me apologize for her. But, I have something else—
She said it herself? Oh, you say it.
I was on the phone with James Sam, the owner of The Good Machine. They seemed interested in having you in a movie they were making.
What movie?
It should not be decided yet, and it must have been stimulated by this data. But I checked their latest book, maybe you can read it when you return to Los Angeles.
Daniel rubbed his temples, You will have more work after Christmas.
It's never been easy.
After coughing slightly, Daniel decided to return to the original topic, So, they want to register first?
In fact, James and David don’t have a lot of books, and their company’s trump card is the big Oscar nominee, Chinese-American director An Lee, who has just become famous all over the world with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. An Lee has just launched a film in Hollywood. When it is time, it is a good machine operation.
So after the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon hit, An Li also promised to make a movie for them.
It's just that the subject matter of this film is not particularly attractive.
Therefore, when they talked with Kusa on the phone, although they had this book in their minds, they still didn't say it. And Kusa investigated this notebook, and hesitated to say it directly.
It was an independent studio trying to get out of the back door, and Daniel already had a lot of connections like that, so he wasn't particularly interested. Instead, he discussed Christmas arrangements with Kusa in a good mood.
Collins is coming to America, and we're going skiing in Aspen, do you and Jones have any other plans?
We haven't talked about that yet, maybe it's a good idea to hit the rich guys.
Aspen is a vacation spot for the rich in the United States. It is completely different from the busyness and anxiety of other big cities in the United States. It is like a different space where the flow of time is twice as slow.
This is what Collins suggested.
Perhaps call Fred and Andy and ask the others.
So, the stingy Grandet is planning a big year-end treat? Invite the poor employees to go to a high-end place for a week?
If I say that I'm actually going to... aa, will you do something irrational?
Without a doubt, I will.
Just like a movie theater in full swing, blockbusters are sweating profusely. The whole of America is looking forward to a wonderful Christmas at this time, because it means holidays, reunions and chic, no need to wear formal clothes, and you can sleep in pajamas all day long. It's very late, and you can watch as many episodes as you like. (to be continued)
