Ace Hollywood

Chapter 390 Great Success and New Plan

Sissy fans, are you getting complacent too soon, don't forget that Revenge of the Sith's opening day is Thursday, not the traditional Friday - a lot of people have to work the next day, so there's no Go to the movies on the first night. - Han.

135 million in three days, and 159 million in four days of Sith, it is not certain who will win? - Star Wars Tom.

Dirty pirate ship, to be proud, you must at least surpass the box office of the Star Wars series first, right? Listen, The Phantom Menace, 470 million in North America, 1.027 billion worldwide. Oh, yes, this is 7 years Previous works. - I love you Liam.

The captain fans were triumphant, and sure enough, Star Wars fans soon ushered in a counterattack.

According to the current North American box office rankings, there are two Star Wars in the top ten. In 1999, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace had a box office of 470 million, second only to James Cameron's masterpiece Titanic. , Dachuan won 658 million, which is indeed a terrifying figure. In addition, the first Star Wars Star Wars in 1977 followed closely, ranking third, with a box office of 460 million.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it should be among the top three. If Cameron is not too against the sky, this series is obviously enough to dominate the box office market, and it is also enough to show how appealing and powerful the Star Wars series really is. Fan base.

However, the captain fans seem to know the truth that the enemy is strong and we are weak. On the one hand, they bluffed and stated that Pirate 2 has not yet been released, and any record may be broken. On the other hand, some Star Wars fans directly attacked actors.

Daniel, who likes to put on a show, plays a sissy, and wants to compare himself with Star Wars. It makes people laugh and disgusting.

Most of the captain's fans are Daniel fans, but Daniel's fans are not just captain fans.

Lord of the Rings fans, spy shadow fans, and all kinds of other popular works, as well as the personal fans of pure Daniel - it can be said that the momentum is huge. Of course, the fans of a series of movies may be huge, but when it comes to combat effectiveness. Most of the time, they are not comparable to popular superstars. If they are ordinary superstars, Star Wars fans may still be able to suppress them through numbers—it's a pity that they are facing Daniel Sandler this time.

The history of Daniel's fortune is almost in sync with the rapid development of the Internet public opinion field - every step of his success is closely related to the Internet, no matter it is the first time he is known. The first person to taste the taste of red, the first time to invest in the production of a 400 million-level phenomenal box office blockbuster, the first time to become a billionaire-all of these are closely related to the Internet.

In most of the Internet selections he participated in, Daniel will always be number one!

Some experts even exaggeratedly called Daniel the totem of the American Internet in the 21st century. It can be seen what kind of influence he has on the Internet-he has maintained an excellent personal image for many years, which is also closely related to this huge support force.

Therefore, after some of Daniel's fans joined the debate, the controversy died down sooner than expected.

Star Wars fans are timid, Captain fans know fun, Daniel's fans are unwilling to be used as gunmen, and at the same time, they don't want their idols to be attacked-so the three-way strike is also expected.

...

Look, I have a lot of opponents.

After listening to Sally's report on the recent trend on the Internet,

Daniel shook his head. sighed.

There's nothing wrong with that, the naysayers, the supporters, it's all part of the influence, and those naysayers are also contributors to the box office of 'Captain', and they want to know how bad you are - or they're going to be attacking your trend lost the right to speak.”

Sounds like I'd be great enough to sacrifice my image to help Disney make money.

Sally curled her lips, Pirates 2 is currently trending, and the North American box office alone may get back the investment—the rest of the global box office. As well as various other profit window periods, it is possible to expect a complete net profit-a net profit of over 100 million yuan. In this way, Daniel still blamed Disney for his little contribution, which really made Sally don't know what to say.

She came to report to Daniel about the release of Magic Mike. A week later than Pirate 2, Magic Mike was released on July 11, with 2,904 screens opened, which can be said to be the least of several works - in the rest of the blockbusters, it is possible to get This number is already the result of the hard work of MGM's distribution staff.

fortunately. The score of 32.29 million in the first weekend did not disappoint the film schedule. Of course, it is impossible to want a big surprise, but this score can be regarded as among the best among the musicals, which helped Magic Mike maintain the scale of the film schedule , but Racing Car, which is basically at the end, is likely to bite back dozens of dollars to reap the final box office.

Magic Mike is also the last work launched by DD and MGM in the summer. As part of the MGM frenzy, it has fulfilled its mission very well.

And, for one thing, Channing Tatum gets a lot more attention than Zac Efron—he quickly became the number one actor on the imdb list too. Because Tatum, who strips and dances in the movie, is indeed too attractive. The box office muscles are even more coveted-Daniel believes that by the time Magic Mike 2 starts, Tatum's worth will have a big leap, and the budget of 7 million will never be possible again.

Yes, compared to High School Musical and Bad Teacher, Magic Mike has a lower budget, so it is normal that its box office is slightly lower.

Daniel didn't pay much attention to Magic Mike. On the one hand, he was indeed too busy, and on the other hand, he also needed to selectively support some works. MGM and DD, at this stage, there are 10 works a year, he can't be busy all the time, from casting to production, from promotion to release, from distribution to box office, if he pays attention to everything, sooner or later To collapse, the bunch of professionals he hired should also be fired.

Nodded, Mike seems to have a slightly lower box office than the original, but it's about the same. With such fierce competition, this result is satisfying.

Paramount notified Mel?

Yes, after all, it's been six months, and Mel has lost patience, and there are quite a few people who come to her door. She doesn't necessarily have to hand it over to Paramount. Sally turned to the next page, and Daniel Take a fancy to a new ip. However, similar to The Da Vinci Code, this well-known novel has many competitors. Even before Melissa had time to start, Mel reached a preliminary agreement with Paramount.

So much so that Daniel has been trepidly waiting for Paramount's results - he didn't even dare to reveal his intentions in advance. If Paramount knows that DD, especially Daniel himself, has high hopes for it, I'm afraid it is very likely to change his mind. Decision - Buying the rights doesn't cost much.

Although Columbia kept silent about the final transaction price of The Da Vinci Code, Daniel learned that it would not exceed 8 million. For Paramount, 8 million is not a number worth hesitating. It is also worth a try.

Contact her immediately, I'll meet her in Phoenix tomorrow, and ask Melissa to come with me.

Are you going in person?

Yes, the result of procrastination is The Da Vinci Code. If I gave Dan Brown 8 million at that time, I believe he would consider transferring it to me directly, even 10 million. It's good to be like this.

If this word is heard by others, it may cause an uproar.

Directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks, Columbia cost 130 million U.S. dollars, the North American box office was 220 million, and the global breakthrough was 700 million—this cast and achievement were dismissed by Daniel.

Daniel's image of modesty may have changed.

Sally would not confront Daniel with these data, she just nodded.

Will it make her expect better conditions and opportunities?

After Paramount refused to film it?

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally must admit that this is a good opportunity.

...

Jason Reitman, sitting across from Daniel, behind the famous family, and like Gore Verbinski, was an excellent commercial director before getting involved in movies.

But so far, he has not had a mainstream work that can be justified.

So obviously, even though he was already sitting in front of Daniel, he was still a little out of shape.

Daniel is facing the young man in front of him—yes, he is much younger than most of the directors Daniel has dealt with—he is only three years older than Daniel. Also, he was a handsome guy, very handsome.

It wouldn't surprise anyone if Daniel was casting for a new production.

Unfortunately, it turned out not to be the case. The purpose of him hiring Jason was to let him direct a teenage theme work. Daniel once again used his unconstrained ability-no one questioned him, but everyone was very curious and curious. Can this director who has been recognized by many independent film awards live up to Daniel's vision?

What do you think of the script?

Uh, Jason said tongue-in-cheek, it's great, I mean—

Hey buddy, come on, I know you're talented, and I've seen your Thank You for Smoking, do you smoke?

Oh no!

Daniel looked at him dumbfounded and burst out laughing, and Jason laughed too, feeling much more relaxed now.

Yeah, I read the script, it's interesting, but you want it to be more interesting in a comedy way, teenage pregnancy, a subject like that, very few people think it's going to be a happy experience, of course, to be able to direct a I am honored by such a work.”

When sending the script, Daniel, of course, briefly explained why he found him-because he had seen Jason's Thank You for Smoking and appreciated his ability to turn bad things into comedy. , inadvertently, people are overwhelmed.

I think Juno would be happy for you to tell her story—if there was one. (To be continued.)

ps: Is it a monthly pass? Yes or no? give me give me. . .
