Andy is very depressed and helpless in the face of a burst of Charlize's outburst. He should go to appease shalizi as soon as possible. However, today's global film conference is very important. He can't miss it.
Think of their beautiful things, but more and more aggressive Sally son, Andy can't help smashing a few mouth Chun.
"No, I can't make her too busy. I have to make her busy. Otherwise, her bad temper will grow."
In the conference room of Universal Pictures' headquarters, there are already full seats, including all subsidiaries, the directors of the studio are all present, and even the CEO of Marvel pictures is also present at the meeting.
"Boss --"
when Andy enters the meeting room, everyone stands up and greets him. Andy smiles, reaches down and signals, "sit down, you're welcome."
Although the big boss said so politely, as a subordinate employee, he was really an idiot. He stood in the same place one by one, waiting for Andy to come to the main position with a smile on his face, looked around for a week, nodded slightly, sat down and said again with a smile: "let's go and sit down."
"Hula --"
people just sit down together. As Andy Smith has more and more wealth and resources, his power brings more and more powerful momentum.
Fame, power, money and status are very powerful to modify the aura, because these things can affect people's psychology and produce enough sense of oppression. When people face these things, their psychology will become weak unconsciously, and they are more likely to be infected by each other.
In addition, Andy himself is mature and steady, his eyes are confident and resolute, his head is slightly raised, his chest is stretched out, and his every move gives a sense of security.
"Since January, Marley and me, the classic car, Benjamin Button and bedtime story, the 2008 Christmas blockbusters, have not slowed down this year. Instead, they have collected word-of-mouth bonuses, such as the classic car, which is not the top level of Clint Eastwood, but has become his number one cash machine. In January alone, there were more than 100 million dollars Income.
By the time these films began to weaken, new films such as the love film "you don't understand his heart", which is a collection of half a dozen first-class and half stars, would be on top in time and perform extraordinarily. The North American market is now in its first $1 billion January.
February is about the same. There are basically no mistakes in the top sellers. The Oscar hit "poor millionaire" is becoming more and more popular after winning the prize.
Of course, not everyone in the spring gear has eaten the cake. The DC comic adaptation film "the catcher" is called "not winning the show" and it's not easy to get over the billion yuan mark. And Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway's "the bride's war", no matter the reputation or the quality, are even more disappointing.
In general, in the two months of 2009, the spring sales were the highest in history, and the total box office rose sharply, reaching US $1.8 billion, 15% higher than the same period in 2008. "
At the beginning of the meeting, the marketing director of Universal Pictures reported the specific situation of the North American film market in January and February 2009.
"The crazy 2009 is full of such fanaticism at the beginning of the year. It seems that breaking 10 billion yuan this year is not a joke."
Andy was surprised to hear that in January alone, the total box office in North America was over $1 billion. We need to know that in the past, the schedule of North America's spring film was not so crazy. Thinking of the big films prepared by each summer film this year, let alone the films of other companies, universal now has several major productions, such as Superman for all, thrill 4 and twilight city It's not to mention change 2, Harry Potter for a year, and avatar, a 3D blockbuster, that's going to grab the summer archives.
Andy knows that it will be really easy to break the box office of 10 billion in North America. Now it seems that a comprehensive adjustment is needed.
"It seems that North American audiences upset by the financial crisis are willing to spend more time watching movies. I believe that this year, all kinds of films will be popular, and even there will be a situation of" many winners and few losers ".
With the popularity of spring films, I think we can completely advance the schedule of "speed 4" to April, avoid the summer film war, and only leave "Superman" to compete with other companies' blockbusters. As for other films, we can focus on the box office in May and autumn. What do you think? "
Hearing the big boss's decision, all present began to talk in a low voice. In fact, to be honest, for Universal Pictures, this year is definitely the highlight of Andy Smith's acquisition and merger of peak entertainment.
To put it mildly, for those films without peak entertainment, the box office of global film will definitely create a very humiliating record this year, because they have no big production to take part in this "feast".
However, now that Pinnacle entertainment has become a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, Pinnacle entertainment uses a series of large-scale productions to gain a foothold in Hollywood, which are all taken over and released by universal. At one time, Pinnacle entertainment has become a skillful woman with rich ingredients. Not to mention the following blockbusters, but a love film "you don't understand his heart", which is a collection of half a dozen first-class half stars, has been released It's easy to reach the top of the box office of the week. The Distribution Department of globegroup really put the same effort to publicize and separate the stars. Especially Scarlett Johnson, who just got the best supporting actress, and the Publicity Department of globegroup, like her aunt, has exceeded the specifications of first-line stars in the whole process of publicity.Well, who made this Hollywood sexy you and her big boss have a bad relationship? They can't guarantee whether this aunt is the big boss's lover or not......
However, when Scarlett raised the golden man, the Distribution Department of global pictures knew that their work had not been done in vain. She was really an aunt. Well, in addition to the South African Diamond who had given birth to the Hollywood princess, which is well known in the Hollywood industry, there is now another modern version of Monroe.
"This summer, whether it's" change 2 "or" Harry Potter "by the young wizards who have entered adolescence, will be our main rivals, as well as the truck driver who has been silent for 12 years and returned with super production. I believe you should also receive more or less news. Just three or two years ago, even in the eyes of most people in the film industry, 3D movies were still unrealistic fantasy. However, people who have seen the movie "Avatar" produced by Cameron are all amazed by the news from multiple feedback. This movie once and for all answers many questions about 3D!
A 3D movie ticket costs about $12 or $13. You can imagine that once the 3D movie is popular, all the box office records in the past will become weak. If the box office records are over 100 million in the first three days of the weekend, it will become a reality!
In this coming 3D storm, we should be prepared in advance and never miss this 3D feast! "
Andy knows that the movie "Avatar" is so powerful that he can't help but open the 3D era of the movie, which is also the biggest factor that ushered in the first ten billion dollar year in the North American market.
