Chapter 164： change schedule

"The premiere of The Princess Diaries, in addition to the movie itself, and the scandal that excited the media, there is also a point to watch. The costumes of Gu Luobei and Anne Hathaway have caused controversy in the fashion industry. Small attention. After getting the name "Catherine Bell" from Anne Hathaway, fashion reporters got confirmation from Gu Luobei. Unexpectedly, Gu Luobei got attention at the Sundance Film Festival The two sets of clothes are also from the hands of this new designer named Catherine Bell, and the fashion industry is in a burst of sāo.

This is also the first time Catherine Bell has entered the attention of fashion journalists.

In addition, there are more and more comments about "just a dream". Gu Luobei stood in the director's position and used a digital camera to show everyone a story full of sadness, exquisite layout, songs and The picture fits perfectly, and even the use of the camera is taken into account, not to mention the amazing composition and color application. The praise this camera has won is beyond imagination, even Gu Luobei himself did not think of it. The development trend will be like this.

Since Oprah's talk show, Gu Luobei has become the darling of the media and a new aristocrat in the music industry. When everyone's attention is focused on Gu Luobei's upcoming album, they hope that Gu Luobei will be in music. When he made a further breakthrough, Gu Luobei also received a notice that "Death Illusion" was about to be officially released.

The so-called public screening, that is, public screening. Unlike premieres and limited screenings, public screenings are naturally a large number of screenings within a region.

"Death Illusion" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Although it signed a distribution agreement with 20th Century Fox, it is clear that 20th Century Fox did not have the imagination of the film. They wanted to limit the screening. That is, the movie is shown in a certain number of movie theaters.

With the most basic mathematical formulas, such a result can be easily obtained. The more theaters that show, the greater the spread, and the more likely the box office will go up. The limited screening is doomed to lag behind the starting point.

In business, although 20th Century Fox hopes to tap excellent films, the essence of film companies is to make money. Relying on their judgment, "Death Illusion" is destined to be difficult to make a difference at the box office, so the decision to limit the screening was made.

But Richard Kelly was reluctant. He still hoped that his works could be more widely circulated. So, Richard Kelly took the film and started traveling around the world. From Germany to Sweden, to film festivals around the world in Spain, Richard Kelly has left his mark.

The movie "Death Illusion" can indeed be said to be a classic among cult movies and is well received all over the world. Only then did 20th Century Fox give enough attention and decide to officially release the movie.

The announcement was made by Richard Kelly calling Teddy Bell just after the premiere of "The Princess Diaries."

When Gu Luobei heard that "Death Illusion" was scheduled to be released on Friday, September 14, his face froze.

In fact, the change in Gu Luobei's face was not obvious, but Teddy Bell knew him better. He caught Gu Luobei's expression and directly asked his curiosity, "The movie is finally going to be officially released. , why do you look like you're in a bad mood?" In the past two days, the rumors flying all over the sky didn't look at Gu Luobei's bad mood, but the news that the movie was going to be released, his face turned bad.

Gu Luobei couldn't answer this question. He can't tell Teddy Bell: Because I know there will be a terrorist attack on September 11th that will shock the world, and then the entire American entertainment industry will go into depression. The movie was released on September 14th. Throw in water.

The September 11 terrorist attack, such a terrible event, is an event that the whole world mourns regardless of the national standpoint. When the incident in the previous life happened, Gu Luobei was stunned for a long time when he heard the news shortly after he went to college, and regarded life as a must. This was Gu Luobei's only thought about those terrorists. At that time, although the United States was separated by a huge Pacific Ocean, and what New York and Washington looked like could only be seen through the TV screen, but the heart was uncontrollably suppressed.

If you can create a **** to stop this, Gu Luobei will definitely stop it, not because of any heroic complex, this is just a normal thought as a person.

But this matter is not something that Gu Luobei can create a **** to prevent. In the face of this kind of catastrophe, Gu Luobei is not a superman. He has no way to stop terror, terror, and elements like the undead Xiaoqiang, nor can he convince him. The U.S. Department of Defense has taken protective measures in advance, and there is no way to convince the staff in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon not to go to work that day. At this time, Gu Luobei always feels that people are insignificant and life is fragile.

The only thing Gu Luobei can do is to let his relatives and friends not be directly hurt by this incident. A person's power is so meager.

Thinking back carefully, the "Death Illusion" in the last life encountered the September 11 incident, and then postponed its release. Gu Luobei remembered correctly, "Death Illusion. At that time, the screening was limited to no more than 60 venues, so in the end the film was a complete failure at the box office. However, in the DVD rental market, "Death Illusion" radiated new vitality. , won the love of countless professional filmmakers, and finally not only recovered the cost, but also became one of the top 100 most recommended independent films in the first decade of the 21st century.

Gu Luobei had no way to prevent the September 11 incident, but he could change the fate of "Death Illusion". Of course, when Richard Kelly chose Gu Luobei to be the hero of "Death Illusion", the film's Fate has actually been changed.

In the face of Teddy Bell's question, Gu Luobei didn't speak immediately. He was trying to convince Richard Kelly to advance the movie's schedule. As an actor, speaking in front of 20th Century Fox is of no weight, and he can only rely on the director Richard Kelly.

After a while, Gu Luobei didn't come up with a solution. After all, the movie schedule is not arbitrarily arranged by the film company, it is based on the release time of each movie, including pre-promotion,

After comprehensive consideration of group positioning and other aspects, the decision was made. If the events of September 11th aside, Gu Luobei would not have any objection to this release time.

"I don't think this release time is suitable. I hope it will be released earlier." It must be released in advance. The original "Death Illusion" was to postpone the release. Gu Luobei can't remember the specific time. It was a limited release, and because of the entertainment industry's depression, the box office was also in tatters. "But I don't know how to convince Richard." Although Gu Luobei didn't say the reason for this idea, Teddy Bell didn't care, he just said with a smile, "Then tell Richard, say you I think it's more appropriate to release the movie in advance." Teddy Bell is definitely not a simple-minded person, on the contrary, his intelligence is definitely not inferior to Gu Luobei, but he is not used to being as sharp as Gu Luobei.

Teddy-Bell said this naturally because of his own considerations. Gu Luobei looked up at Teddy-Bell and continued to speak with his eyes.

"In my opinion" Death Illusion, the film itself is a niche, even at the Sundance Film Festival, the audience who can't read it is a blockbuster. ,, Teddy Bell does not have as many ideas as Gu Luobei, but sees it more thoroughly. The authorities are mí, and the bystanders are clear. Although it is not completely applicable at this time, this is the truth. "Although 20th Century Fox must have planned the schedule, even if the schedule is changed, it is not important to them. After all. , If it weren't for Richard's insistence, it is estimated that the movie is now limited to show at most, so there is no problem with the schedule.... If the show is limited, as long as the movie theater time is suitable, it can be played by gods. The so-called schedule is really not that important.

Gu Luobei couldn't help but patted his head, it seemed that he was used to complicating things. Besides, taking a step back, even if "Death Illusion" is really released ahead of schedule according to what Luo Bei thought, it may not have any effect on the change of the box office. Maybe it will be released according to the original time, but the effect will be better. Jia is also not sure.

After realizing this, Gu Luobei knew that it was his own gain and loss that weighed heavily. The movie "Death Illusion" was originally chosen not just because the script was good, but now I have more ideas about the box office and release time, which is indeed a self-contradictory thing. Gu Luobei let out a long breath and quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Let's do it like this." The smile on Gu Luobei's face appeared again. He tried his best to make things happen in people, and things will happen in the sky As for when the movie will be released, and the results after that, he can't control it.

From another point of view, it has replaced Jake Gyllenhaal in "Death Illusion" and now this film can once again be recognized by cult movie lovers. on behalf of all audiences.

Gu Luobei immediately called Richard Kelly back and recited his thoughts. As for the reason, Gu Luobei just said, "My intuition tells me that it won't be a good time." As for whether Richard Kelly listened to it and whether he would go to talk to 20th Century Fox, Gu Luobei would throw it away. to the back of the head.

No, at noon the next day, Richard Kelly called and said that 20th Century Fox agreed to change the schedule and move the film's release date to Thursday, August 16th. On the same day, 198 theaters will show "Death Illusion". This number is naturally very cold and miserable compared to the big movie played in 34,000 theaters, and it is not even a fraction. superior. However, compared to the less than 60 companies Gu Luobei remembered, there has been a lot of progress. History is already changing "Is the prospect of death hallucinations going to change? After three weeks, you can create a **** and have the answer."
