Chapter 334

Halloween is a traditional festival in western countries.

Carnival, evil, devil, pumpkin, candle

All these have almost become synonymous with the Halloween Carnival. There are even many people in various countries and regions who think that Halloween is a ghost festival.

Halloween = Ghost Festival?

In fact, this is wrong!

All Saints Day is one of the Catholic and orthodox festivals. It is also a traditional festival in western countries. On that day, many Catholics and orthodox believers hold a mass ceremony to celebrate all the saints in heaven.

But!

In modern society, for commercial interests or other purposes, on the night of October 31 (the eve of Halloween), organizing all kinds of activities full of demons and ghosts completely deviates from the sacred meaning of Halloween.

With the changes of the times, the mass of Halloween is almost invisible, and the festival has almost completely evolved into a crazy Carnival Festival, which has also evolved from a religious festival into a global Carnival Festival.

Well, only in the Vatican, San Diego, Scotland, Canada and other parts of the world can we see people carrying out mass activities on Halloween.

Even, the original legal November 1 is Halloween, but also because of the crazy October 31, and it is the most lively moment, so that countless people think that Halloween, it is Halloween!

October 22.

It's more than a week before Halloween, but across North America, many people have begun to prepare for the demonization carnival.

Every shop on the street is almost full of pumpkin lanterns;

The sales of Wizard Hat and magic wand are increasing rapidly, which is the first choice for many children to choose gifts;

In recent years, major enterprises in the United States have launched a series of Halloween activities to attract consumers;

Especially in shopping malls and supermarkets, the Halloween atmosphere is even more enthusiastic;

Of course, the most crazy and obvious places are bars, dance halls, KTV and other night shows. The atmosphere of Halloween is almost dripping out.

.......

meanwhile.

Hollywood's film industry is also ready.

no

To be exact, the Halloween schedule has officially started today.

It's Friday

Today, as many as 12 new films have officially appeared in the United States. For the 1999 Halloween, offer a delicious meal.

Fans, fans and movie audiences from all over the world are paying for tickets to see them.

Harvey Weinstein, President of Miramax, said: "I have confidence in the films produced by our company. I believe it will make a good start and present a carnival gift for all our classmates in the United States and even North America."

Frank Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate pictures, said: "the Halloween season in 1996, which lasted for three weeks, created a box office of $970 million at one stroke; In 1997, the Halloween festival created a box office of US $1.09 billion; In 1998, it made $1.21 billion in three weeks; It's 1999, and I have reason to believe that this year's box office data will reach a higher level. "

Wal Mart, the world's largest supermarket chain, the head of its New York branch, gave a lot of data in an interview.

"During last year's Halloween, Wal Mart's 110 stores in four Eastern States alone sold a total of $2.7 billion in Halloween goods and exclusive food, reaching the entire United States, with an absolute revenue of more than $10 billion."

"This year, the sales figures for Halloween are 3.2% higher than those for the same period last year."

"Therefore, I have reason to believe that this year's data will reach a new high."

Today, representatives of dozens of Hollywood film companies have more or less been interviewed by reporters, expressing their optimism about this year's Halloween schedule, and more of them are using it to promote their own films.

In particular, on October 22, the representatives of the 12 film companies that are going to release films and the people in charge of publicity will spare no effort.

Praising one's own side and belittling others have gradually become routine means of propaganda.

"Eh?"

"What do you say about Lion Gate's new work" the devil of hell "

"I had the honor to watch the film in advance, but you have to ask if it's good? Ha ha, I can only say that it is not qualified to be on the schedule of Halloween. I am not optimistic about its box office development. "

"On the other hand, the new work Berkeley the witch, which is our artists' entertainment schedule, is a work full of sincerity."

The vice president of craftsman entertainment talked with reporters.

...

Pinnacle entertainment.

"Ha ha ha, don't tease me, man!"

When interviewed by the Chicago news, Patrick watsberg, one of the top three entertainment companies, couldn't help sneering: "I don't deny the greatness of Miramax, nor do I deny that Miramax has produced horror and horror movies such as" the funeral of a beautiful woman "and" scream ", which have contributed joy to many people, but... This year their movies, I think that's what it is. It's not above the standard at all

"In a word, Miramax, it can't do this year!"

"This year's Halloween schedule, but also to see our new peak entertainment!"

Hearing the speech, the reporter was speechless.

For the sake of interests and attack opponents, this is too don't force face.

Hollywood is worthy of being a vanity fair and a place for money games. The directors of various film companies are all eloquent people. Slandering, attacking, stepping on and blackmailing others have become a kind of instinct.

The hype is not enough to describe their eloquence.

Black you, how?

You beat me if you have the ability!

Moreover, we all step on each other!

But... Black to black, none of these second - or third tier film companies dare to attack or call on the three companies: Wald pictures, Warner Brothers pictures and Paramount Pictures.

Even the three Wald studios, which make up the vast majority of the Halloween film schedule, none of them dare to challenge.

Big companies are big companies. How dare you call one?

I can't kill you~

Is it true that the three film companies with media background are vegetarians?

......

Wald pictures.

"They are all a bunch of crafty guys!"

"I thought a few people would jump out and attack us, Warner and paramount, but they chose to back off. Tut Tut, tut TUT is really able to make a choice," he exclaimed

Old Bill said with a smile: "these film companies can survive in Hollywood, naturally they have their way of survival."

Hollywood's many small and medium-sized film companies, in order to fight against the three Wald film companies in the high row of films in the Halloween schedule, have taken the initiative to contact the cinema, reducing their own profits, let the profits to the cinema.

To tell you the truth, it made Zucker a little annoyed.

Warner and paramount are also angry.

Therefore, Zhuke and others are waiting for someone to jump out!

You jumped out and attacked me?

Well, I've been waiting for you for a long time.

Do you understand?

You know what? You know what?

However... All the big, medium and small film companies in Hollywood are human beings. None of them are fools or reckless men. This makes Zhuke happily lift the knife, but he can't find an opponent, so he is a little disappointed.

"Invincible, how lonely ~"

But!

The next day, when he thought it was useless and could not make a warning to others, he suddenly found that a film company was challenging him.

Yes, it didn't challenge Warner and paramount, but it pointed the finger at Wald pictures and even Zucker himself.

The second watch is on.
