Los Angeles Grand Theater.
Fox pictures, one of the six largest Hollywood companies in the 20th century, will hold a grand premiere for the famous cartoon adapted film "X-Men 1" here today.
Red carpet, media reporter, fans of cartoon fans, grand viewing
These are, of course, standard accessories for the movie premiere.
What's more, in the 20th century, fox pictures has paid a lot of money for the premiere of X-Men. It's absolutely not empty talk that it's a hit.
"Fox is willing to spend money!"
"Who said no? Just the venue fee, the hosting fee, the clothing fee and so on, they spend no less than $1.5 million today. "
"What is that?"
"That is, the production cost of" X-Men "alone is as high as 75 million US dollars, and according to the source, Murdoch personally issued the order, and the publicity budget of" X-Men "is no less than 40 million US dollars."
"There is no doubt that" X-Men "is the biggest investment in Hollywood movies in recent years."
The media reporters on both sides of the red carpet had a heated discussion before the stars, directors, producers and invited guests arrived at the scene.
After all, that's what their job is for.
"Ha ha, I said, guys, did you forget spider man by Wald pictures?"
Suddenly, a reporter's words exploded in the crowd.
Spider man by Wald pictures?
All of a sudden, many media reporters can't help but slap their heads and forget to say it.
The production cost of X-Men is as high as 75 million US dollars, and the publicity budget is no less than 40 million US dollars;
But what about spider man?
The production cost of spider man is as high as 150 million US dollars, nearly 10 million US dollars more than that of the original space-time version, and the publicity budget is more than 60 million US dollars. Well, if necessary, Zucker is going to add publicity funds.
In fact, the media reporters at the scene are excusable for forgetting spider man.
"Wald has a big heart."
A young reporter said: "in May and June, the publicity of spider man, including TV, radio and stage plays, was very large and made a lot of noise. However... Since the beginning of July, they have consciously reduced the proportion of publicity, so that" X-Men "can catch up."
The voice just dropped.
"Fool!"
A middle-aged reporter next to the young reporter sneered: "you are just entering the industry, what do you know?"
"Eh?" The young reporter was stunned.
There was another senior reporter around, joking and saying, "young man, that is to say, you still have the sign of an intern reporter. If you look at everyone, will some people think that Wald pictures is wrong?"
All of a sudden, many reporters around can't help laughing.
Industry tacit understanding!
"X-Men" was released more than half a month earlier than "Spider Man". They must stagger for a certain period of time in terms of publicity. This is the tacit understanding of the industry from large companies.
The film companies behind the films released at different times have a tacit understanding with the industry. Otherwise, it will be a provocation or even a declaration of war.
If the two sides break the tacit understanding of the industry, they will kill the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred.
"Wald pictures is not stupid." X-Men "and" Spider Man "are mangrove films from Marvel comics. X-Men will be released in half a month. It can be said that as long as" X-Men "has achieved great success, it is the best publicity for" spider man! " A female reporter explained with a smile.
"Er... I see. Thank you."
For the explanation of this female reporter, the young and new intern reporter quickly expressed her thanks.
.......
At the same time.
The fans around the red carpet are also very busy at the moment.
"Great
"Mutant comic series, but my love, now it's finally moving to the big screen."
"That's right. First blade came out as a blockbuster, now X-Men, and soon Spiderman will be on. Ooh, ooh... I'm very excited to see those superheroes on the big screen."
In recent years, although Marvel company has been on the wane, you have to admit that the cartoon produced by Marvel company is the childhood of many American citizens. To be able to see their favorite cartoon characters on the big screen one by one is indeed a thing full of memories and yearning for them.
The premiere of "X-Men" was held in Los Angeles on the west coast, but there are still many people from far away States, such as Florida, Virginia and Maine, who have come here specially for a glimpse.
.......
"Welcome to director Spielberg!"
.......
"Welcome to director James Cameron!"
.......
"Welcome Mr. Tom Hanks!"
.......
Celebrities, directors, producers, film company owners and so on from Hollywood have walked the red carpet.
As a new media tycoon and entertainment tycoon in Hollywood, Zhuke is naturally invited.
Kevin Fitch, vice president of Wald pictures;
"Spider Man" director Sam Remy;
The two of them, together with Zhuke, walked onto the red carpet.
"Kevin, X-Men producer Lauren Schuler, you should be familiar with that?" Juke asked with a smile.
"Yes
Kevin Fitch nodded and said, "before I graduated from college, I worked as Ms. Schuler's assistant for more than four years. If you hadn't entrusted headhunting company to take me to Wald pictures, I guess now I would either be in marvel or continue to follow Ms. Schuler."
Lauren Schuler, also known as Lauren Schuler downer, is one of the best female producers in Hollywood.
The future of X-Men series, Wolverine series and death watch series is planned and built by Lauren Schuler.
Even, in the whole 20th century, fox will produce 12 mutant films by 2020, with her figure.
As Marvel's superhero films have not been able to become popular all over the world, Lauren Schuler is definitely one of the biggest promoters.
"She's great!" He sighed.
"It's very powerful. It's one of the most powerful female producers." Said Kevin Fitch.
At this time, one side of the director Sam Remi interjected: "Mr. Wald, did not want to dig her into your company?"
Dig it up?
Zucker shook his head.
Where is not thought about?
In fact, Zucker did, but she resolutely refused, and still many times.
Thank you for your support~
