Chapter 363: light behavior



"Hold a premiere, find people like David Fincher and David Lynch to watch the film! Follow Sony\'s classic method of promoting niche films, excluding those audiences who like to watch cool films, It is very simple to let those audiences who like to talk about style and make up their minds come in and cultivate a group of loyal fans for Christopher Nolan!"

   "Why, is there another accident?"

   Flipping through the project report submitted by Evelyn Watson, Roland didn\'t see any problems.

   Throwing it aside, he picked up the reporting form of "Princess Diaries". The precise date on it made him poke his cheek with his tongue.

   "The Princess Diaries project is okay, right?"

   "Start the film on March 27th, and close the film on July 1st. After three months, the filming has been completed?"

   "Now that it\'s done, let\'s set a release time and go through the announcement process!"

   "As a fairy tale series, Cinderella-themed, family-friendly chicken soup movie, just let Disney schedule the film according to their favorite schedule. This year\'s Christmas file is fine, next year\'s summer file is also fine, and next year\'s Christmas file..."

   "Forget it, if it is released in the Christmas file next year, the time will be too long."

   "This year\'s Christmas file, or next year\'s summer file!"

  The rapid-fire words, packed with deep surprise, blasted towards Evelyn Watson.

  Because in Roland\'s view, these two projects don\'t need to worry about at all.

   "Memory Fragments" has already won awards, and the most needed professional recognition in publicity and distribution has already been obtained. In this case, wouldn\'t it be over to go directly to the traditional publicity and distribution of word-of-mouth marketing?

  As for "Princess Diaries", after reaching an agreement with Disney, isn\'t the tool man who can best promote the princess dream coming?

  Since we can entrust professional things to professional people, then...

  Why not sit back and enjoy the benefits?

   As for Spider-Man 3?

  The ten-year period has been set, and it is impossible to change it no matter what.

However, when Roland put down the file and looked at his subordinates with a puzzled expression, Evelyn Watson, who was not knocked down by doubts, said, "Boss, I am indeed preparing these two films according to your request." The announcement of the release of the film."

   "But during the preparation process, we discovered very serious problems."

  ‘Is there really a problem? ’ Roland frowned, "Say it."

"First of all, the first question is related to "Memento." After obtaining Roland\'s permission, Evelyn Watson picked up the desk calendar on the table, pointed to the date on it, and said, "Your "Spider Xia 3" will hold its premiere ceremony on the 10th of this month (November), and it will be officially released on the 16th. Considering that your last movie will bring at least two weeks of media silence to the public, so we started I want to start the promotion of "Memento" next month, and strive to be nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay, but the problem is that there are many Olympic films released next month, and "Memento" has no advantage compared to them .”

"For example, "Chocolate" launched by Miramax, the lineup of Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp directly crushed "Memento"; another example is "Traffic", Christopher Nolan It was Steven Soderbergh who got the voice, not the directing part, let alone Michael Douglas and Catherine Jones in Traffic."

   "And these two movies are only recognizable to the naked eye. In addition, there are many movies that are not comparable to them but can pose a threat to "Memory Fragments". Therefore, we can only postpone it now..."

  Although "Memento" and "Chocolate" and "Traffic" are not the same type of movie, as long as December enters, these movies will compete with each other in terms of publicity.

As the hottest awards season in Hollywood, there are not too many people who want professionals to endorse their works, and when time is limited and there are only so many professionals, grabbing people to watch movies has become a resource. game.

Similarly, these professionals have to use highly recognizable movies to maintain their influence on the public and consolidate their position in the circle. In this way, even if they have deep friendships, they have to give Friends line up.

Just like "Jiang Ziya", "Pioneer", and "My Hometown and Me" were released at the same time, but only the former was the most popular, no matter how well the movie was shot, as long as you write a movie review according to the popularity, then There must be money to be made.

   And if you write a review of an unpopular movie first, and then watch a popular movie, it\'s over...

  Eating shit, you can’t keep up with the hot ones!

Coupled with the limited energy of the public, a large number of reports does not mean that they can get more attention. As a result, the cast is not up to the level of the same period, and the production team has no bright spots in "Memory Fragments". There is one way to go.

  Although Roland\'s endorsement can indeed give "Memento" a fighting power, Roland will not come forward.

   First, he had to sell his movie "Spider-Man 3."

  Secondly, his relationship with Christopher Nolan is not enough to support him to come forward.

  In the past, George Lucas and others helped Roland sell movies because Roland was a student of Steven Spielberg.

  Now James Cameron who is present at the premiere of the new film of the Olsen sisters is because they are Roland\'s sisters.

  You can only help because of your relatives, and you will never be able to rely on other interests.

   Because of this, after listening to Evelyn Watson\'s explanation, Roland made a decision and said, "Then postpone it."

   "After the Oscars next year, before the summer vacation, is there any problem?"

"No." Evelyn Watson shook her head, and marked the time interval \'March 25 to May 1\' on the file of "Memory Fragments". Then, she picked up the calendar again, Said: "The problem of "Princess Diaries" is also the same."

   "Since we signed a cooperation agreement with Disney, they hope to get enough agency distribution projects from us. According to Dick Cook\'s plan, the completed "Princess Diaries" can be released next month."

   "But the problem is, next month\'s blockbuster, there are too many."

   "Moreover, the accumulation of large pieces is all caused by you."

   ""Charlie\'s Angels", which was originally scheduled to be released yesterday, that is, on November 3rd, was moved by Sony to December 1st."

   "The Grinch, which was originally scheduled to be released on November 17, was also moved by Universal to December 1."

   ""Undead" and "102 Dalmatians", which were originally scheduled to be released on November 22, were rescheduled by their producer Disney to December 6."

"Not only that, "Eavesdropping on Women\'s Hearts" directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Mel Gibson will be released on December 15th, and on that day, there will also be a Disney animated film "The Transformation King" .”

"In addition, "Cast Away" directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks will be released on December 22, and on that day there will be a movie starring Sandra Bullock. Spy Belle with Michael Caine."

"In order to avoid you, all blockbuster movies originally scheduled to be released in November have been moved to December. If "Princess Diaries" is released under such circumstances, 99% of Anne Hathaway, who has no popular support, will The probability is 9.9% that it will hit the street."

"so…"

   "We have a headache."

  \'Tsk! \'

  When Evelyn Watson smiled bitterly at Roland with a sad face, Roland, who was sitting behind the desk and listening, was also beeping in bewilderment.

  At this moment, all he wanted to say was, \'You guys fell down before I tried my best? \'

  Before, when Roland\'s movie was released, although these Hollywood studios would avoid it, they would not be as crazy as they are now.

   There is no such thing as giving up a whole month\'s schedule directly!

  However, thinking about it carefully, Roland can understand it.

  Just the gimmick of the final chapter of the series is already enough to bluff people. If you add a real retreat, then...

  Even if the other family is in the movie, they can only be reduced to cannon fodder!

  Businessmen make movies for money.

   Even in Hollywood, box office revenue only accounts for 20% of the total movie revenue, but this does not mean that everyone is willing to give up.

  Even if the current December belongs to the fighting of gods, it is much better than squeezing into November and being rubbed on the floor by Roland!

   And in this situation, if you force "Princess Diaries", there will be no dust left.

  Because the current Anne Hathaway still can\'t afford the box office.

   "Then next summer." Roland said indifferently after knowing the current situation.

  In his view, being able to bend and stretch is the embodiment of a hero.

  However, before he finished speaking, Evelyn Watson shook her head again.

   "If it\'s next summer, the problem will be even bigger."

"According to Kevin Fitch\'s report, the upcoming "X-Men" can be released in summer next year; and according to Peter Jackson\'s report, "The Lord of the Rings 1" will be able to complete all the post-production in April next year, summer file , can also go up."

   "If it\'s just these things, then forget it."

"but…"

   "Your sister\'s movie will actually be released next summer."

"You told me to take the copyright of "Mean Girls" and shoot it for Ashley and Mary, and judging from the results of the current negotiations, the film will start shooting in early December, and it will be released in early February next year. I can finish the filming."

"Three months of production time, and it can be released in August, so the movies we can have next summer are "X-Men", "Lord of the Rings", "The Princess Diaries", "Mean Girls", and Black Hawk Down after the summer break."

   "From May to August, there are only four months in total, but we have four movies to release."

"This level of density is bound to have an impact on their performance, so I want to move "Lord of the Rings 1" to next year\'s Christmas file, but the problem is, next year\'s Christmas file, and Steven Spielberg\'s Harry Potter…”

   Speaking of this, Evelyn Watson laughed to herself.

   A moment later, she showed an expression about to go crazy again, and shrugged: "Boss, we have too many movies!"

   "Other film companies are competing with their opponents for schedules, but we are fighting for resources internally!"

  \'Hiss! \'

  Evelyn Watson\'s words made Roland make another contribution to global warming.

  Because the current situation is simply not within his prediction range.

  There are so many works invested by the company that they can’t even make the schedule for the year?

this…

  He felt that he didn\'t vote for anything!

Feeling strange, Roland took the project report from Evelyn Watson. After he dug into his long-frozen memory and tried hard to recall the bits and pieces of his previous life, he realized that it might be because he was used to monopolizing Market, long-arm jurisdiction and other small goals, so it is not sensitive to such tens of millions of projects!

Whether the film can make money is not important to him, because even if the film project is profitable, it will not be able to run away from any other assets in his hands, so he just does what he wants without thinking about it at all. Miscellaneous nonsense.

  Taking "X-Men" as an example, Roland vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Fox launched it in the millennium, but now, he was influenced by Roland to the summer of 2001.

   In this way, there will be one less masterpiece in the millennium summer file, and a bit more competition in the summer file of 2001.

Another example is "Mean Girls". Although Lindsay Han Luo and the Olsen sisters were both born in 1986, "Mean Girls", a movie about fifteen-year-old high school students, is not based on Lindsay Han It was taken when Luo was fifteen years old.

It is an unspoken rule of Hollywood to let a woman in her twenties play a teenage high school student, and only a guy like Roland who wants to praise his own people will really pick their age. In this way, the current Orr The Mori sisters will only make movies a few years later, because if they don\'t do this, they will have nothing to do.

It is precisely because Roland thinks it doesn\'t matter to pick and choose, that\'s why his own movies squeeze the schedule. If "X-Men" and "Mean Girls" are cut out, "Princess Diaries", "Lord of the Rings 1", " "Harry Potter" shares a summer file and a Christmas file, so there will be a lot of room for manipulation in terms of release time.

   And now...

  \'Hold the grass! unwise! Mistake! ’ Roland muttered in his heart.

   But even so, he showed no panic.

  Because there are "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in hand, whoever comes there is a dead word!

   But just when Roland felt that there was only one speaker next to him that could play "how invincible, how lonely" on a loop, Evelyn Watson\'s next words made Roland\'s face collapse.

   "If internal competition is the current status quo of our company, then external pressure is the root cause of my inability to arrange films."

   "Because next summer, there will be a bunch of blockbuster movies released."

   “First up is DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek, which Jeffrey Katzenberg himself oversaw, is sure to be a hit.”

   "The second is the sequel of "The Mummy", "The Mummy Returns", which has a good support from the previous work, and I can\'t find a reason for their failure."

   "Then came "Pearl Harbor". Although I don\'t really believe they can surpass "Titanic", the box office will definitely not be lower."

   “Then there’s Jurassic Park 3, which, as a blockbuster series you’ve personally participated in, even if Steven Spielberg doesn’t care about it, it can still reap exaggerated box office.”

   "There is also "Planet of the Apes", a sci-fi blockbuster directed by Tim Burton that can also attract a group of cult fans."

   "In the end, I am also very concerned about "Rush Hour 2", but the specifics depend on the release of "Rush Hour 2". As a sequel to the hit series, I think you know better than me how much box office Jackie Chan can get."

  When one film title after another appeared, Roland\'s face was as long as a shoehorn...

  Because all the guys and all the girls here are ruthless characters!

   If Roland remembers correctly, the guys here, the worst ones all took 300 million at the box office!

Although it cannot be compared with the massacre of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", it is more than enough to jointly bury an "X-Men", and if in this case, put other movies into the melee, That…

  Everyone is a loser!

   "Are you kidding? Is next year\'s summer schedule so scary?" Roland couldn\'t recall the exact schedule of all the movies.

  After listening to his inquiry, Evelyn Watson nodded: "At least the current information is like this."

   "Hiss..." Roland felt that he had a toothache.

  At the same time, the absurd feeling of being out of control also arises spontaneously.

  The movies in his hands are all special codes from the previous life, and if the works of the previous life hit the street without his control, then this kind of mistake, I am afraid that it will make people laugh to death?

  Although it is impossible for anyone to know these things forever, but…

  As long as it appears, it will be a thorn in Roland\'s heart!

  Because this is too special to embarrass the traverser!

However, just as he was thinking about what method he should use to avoid embarrassing himself, Evelyn Watson said again, "So, to be on the safe side, I personally want to put the "Harry Potter" And "The Lord of the Rings" is scheduled to be released on the Christmas file next year. The former, endorsed by Steven Spielberg, can kill the entire market even if it is released around Thanksgiving in November, while the latter, placed in The Christmas file will be released in December, because "The Lord of the Rings" is itself a sentiment."

   "That leaves X-Men, Mean Girls and The Princess Diaries on the summer block."

"Mean Girls, starring the Olsen sisters, can be put in June because they are not afraid of the impact of those sci-fi blockbusters, and "Princess Diaries" is best placed in August, as a time when sci-fi blockbusters don\'t want to enter, it is subject to The pressure is relatively small.”

   "As for the X-Men..."

   “My personal preference is to put it in early May.”

   "As the beginning of the summer season, not many film studios are willing to release blockbuster films at this time, because the students are not completely on vacation, and the release at this time can reduce the confrontational pressure of "X-Men."

   "But at the same time, since there\'s really no big names in the whole movie, so..."

   "I personally hope that, boss, you can set a good example."

   "What?" During Evelyn Watson\'s logical analysis, Roland was still feeling that he had found a treasure.

   An employee who can help the boss wipe his **** is a good employee!

   Only by showing your own value first, can you get promotion and salary increase later!

  Young people have to endure more hardships. Only through tempering can they grow!

However, when Evelyn Watson went around and shifted the topic back to Roland, he listened with great interest, and then felt something was wrong, because the other party looked at him, just like he usually looks at other people Same.

   It’s not like peeling off a beautiful girl’s coat layer by layer like X-rays, but to use excitement and scrutiny to judge how much value the target in front of you can bring to you.

   To put it bluntly, it is looking at tool people.

  And the employees regard the boss as a tool?

   This is worth it!

   Are you trying to seek power and usurp the throne yourself?

  Just when Roland felt that the BGM around him had to be changed from "how invincible and lonely" to "I gave you too much freedom", a shyness suddenly appeared on Evelyn Watson\'s face.

   "It\'s just...it\'s just... let "Spider-Man 3" crush all the opponents in this year\'s Christmas file."

   "Let the public feel that Marvel is bullshit!"

   "Then, when promoting X-Men, start with what Kevin Feige calls the \'Marvel Cinematic Universe.\'"

   "In this way, when people know that "X-Men" is not a separate series, but the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we will be able to crush all opponents in the same period in terms of announcement!"

\'have to! \'

   Roland finally understood, Evelyn Watson was possessed by Guangguang Media!

   Pulling two unconnected movies into the same universe, isn\'t that the act of light!

  When "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" was released, it brought an easter egg of "Jiang Ziya".

  Yi Shui’s public relations account at that time indicated—

  Light is the light of the nation! Defend against the Hollywood invasion!

  Light is the soul of the nation! To create your own Conferred God Universe!

   Light is the last conscience of domestic animation. If you don’t watch "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", you are not XX!

The results of it?

   "Jiang Ziya" was released, and the polarization of word-of-mouth was extremely obvious, Guangguang said, this is only the series of Fengshen, the series of Fengshen, the series of Fengshen, please don\'t over-interpret the easter eggs!

Meow meow meow? ? ?

   It took you a year to over-interpret the public relations account before you came out to refute the rumors?

  Then isn’t Rebs possessed, playing the audience like monkeys?

   And now, Evelyn Watson wants "X-Men" to bundle "Spider-Man 3"?

Nonsence!

  Is Lao Tzu’s popularity something that Kevin Fitch’s big bald head can catch?
