Universal Pictures' regular early morning meeting ended with a very weird atmosphere. Their top work "Jurassic Park 2" in this summer's summer season was close to $45 million at the box office on its first day. It has been considered a huge success, but the box office on the first day was close to 45 million US dollars, but it ranked second in the single-day box office list on Friday, which made many executives and shareholder representatives feel bitter.
After the meeting, the executives of various departments left the conference room with their heads lowered, but before everyone left, they would involuntarily and covertly glance at the CEO sitting at the end of the conference table. En Meyer, will you be unlucky with this decision.
It stands to reason that as long as "Jurassic Park 2" can make a lot of money for Universal Pictures, Ron Mayer's position will never be shaken, but what the board of directors and parent company Conscart thinks, then That's another story.
"Boss, some of the shareholder representatives in the board of directors have made arrangements for you, both secretly and implicitly, for "Jurassic Park 2" to be released at this time. They expressed their distrust."
After the executives in the conference room were all gone, as Ron Mayer's confidant, Chris Dandley, the executive of the distribution department, looked at the other party with a trace of worry in his eyes and whispered: "Many. People are waiting for Jurassic Park 2's box office results, but if it's still being crushed by Batman: The Dark Knight..."
Ron Mayer is of course aware of the gossip of the shareholder representatives on the board of directors. Those people will never remember what you have contributed to the company and how much money you have earned. In the eyes of capitalists, they only care about your decision and whether it will affect their income.
With the first-day box office release of Jurassic Park 2, the board was not more concerned with the outstanding box office performance, but had a different voice among shareholders. They think such an excellent film should not be released in this schedule at all. If "Jurassic Park 2" can avoid "Batman: The Dark Knight", it will obviously get more benefits.
Ron Mayer pondered for a while, then looked up at the closed conference room door, then looked at Chris Dandley, and asked in a low voice, "Can you do something about public opinion?"
"It's difficult."
Chris Dandley thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly. "The core members of the "Batman: The Dark Knight" crew have almost no major problems that can detonate public opinion. After investigation, I found that unless you are holding on to Charlie Sheen, who plays the double-faced man, it is meaningless to do so now. Big, it will only highlight the character of his prodigal son."
In this circle, if you want to investigate, basically no one's **** is clean, even those big stars shining in the spotlight, careful investigation can still find a lot of bad things. The current popularity of "Knight", and then hyping up those innocuous things, obviously doesn't make much sense.
Therefore, it is usually the most common method for two films to compete, smearing each other's main players, and making ordinary fans feel disgusted. Now it is difficult to use it with Wayne and others.
"Chris."
After thinking about it for a while, Ron Mayer's eyes froze suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice, "I can't remember the exact time, if it's correct, it should be 1993. When Joker came out, I remember there was a crisis that almost killed the movie..."
As his voice became lower and lower, Chris Dandley's upper body became more and more straight in the chair, and his eyes became more and more round and round with the words of his old boss. The bigger, if you look carefully, you can find the emotion in his eyes revealing panic.
He turned his head mechanically, stuck out his tongue and licked his suddenly dry lips, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "Cinema shooting...?!"
Without waiting for Ron Mayer to give a positive answer, Chris Dandley immediately shook his head violently. Now he is a little afraid to look into his old boss's eyes, for fear that what he sees is crazy.
"No, no, no!" As he shook his head, he said, "Boss, maybe you should go back to eat lunch with your family, and then walk the dog with the children. You are too busy these days!"
What a joke, Chris Dandley is very clear that similar things have happened in Hollywood before, and there are still many tragedies related to movie marketing, and there is still no answer. Not only before, he believes that it will continue to happen in the future. Wear Hollywood's gorgeous coat, and the darkness inside is enough to scare ordinary people.
But this time their competitors are Warner Bros., one of the six giants, and Wayne Greenberg, the new best director of the Oscars and a famous Hollywood billionaire. Just think about it.
"Okay." Ron Mayer let out a long sigh, shook his head with a wry smile, he knew he was a little stunned, even if they had other ideas on their side, Steven Spielberg and the producer Katherine Kennedy, also not necessarily willing to cooperate.
"Chris, get in touch with those **** vampires. These two days, especially before the next working day, try to keep the professional reputation of "Jurassic Park 2" strong."
"Okay, boss."
Looking at the back of Ron Mayer's departure, it was not until the door of the conference room was closed again that Chris Dandley leaned back on the chair relaxedly, frowning and sighing.
Continuing to publicize those film critics can only be said to be a routine method after the film is released. Everyone knows that now is not the awards season, but the summer season. The film review recommendation of professional film critics does not actually affect the vast majority of fans. Watching should be chosen, especially the young people who are the main audience for this period.
But doing nothing, passively waiting for the two films to collide with this trend will definitely not work. Now they can only use all the methods they can use. As for the final result, no one can know.
Chris Dandley understands very well why his old boss has some extreme ideas. The final success or failure of this film has a considerable impact on Ron Mayer in the group, even if the final "Jurassic Park 2" The total box office results of "Batman: The Dark Knight" can bring a lot of revenue to the group, and some people will also attack his release schedule. Unless the box office results can suppress "Batman: The Dark Knight", otherwise, This is equivalent to a quagmire, and it is very difficult to get out easily.
The time is now in the middle and late May, and Los Angeles officially entered the hottest season. At the end of the famous Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills, in the master bedroom on the third floor of Greenberg Manor, Cameron Diaz pushed open the bathroom. The door, wrapped in a white bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom with one hand wiping her hair.
The breeze blew in from the large balcony on the third floor, from which you could almost overlook the entire Beverly Park, but obviously Cameron Diaz didn't have the heart to look at this. Wiping his hair, watching a lively action scene.
Angelina Jolie, at this moment, seems to have lost her soul, her round eyes, staring at the ceiling indifferently, her hands are tied together, as if she has been ravaged by inhumane, her voice is clearly already. It was extremely hoarse, but from time to time it made a frowning scream.
A few minutes later, Angelina Jolie was let go of her hands, as if her body had been taken out of her bones, and she fell into Wayne's arms. After a while, the woman slowly recovered. Consciously, Cameron Diaz, who was watching from the side, leaned into the man's ear and whispered to himself: "Damn, you almost sent me to see God, it was so exciting!"
The corners of Wayne's mouth gradually turned up, revealing a chilling smirk, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully to Angelina Jolie in his arms: "I have some more exciting ideas that I have never tried. Do you want to try again?"
Hearing the man's devilish whisper, the woman's body shivered obviously, and the expression on her face immediately changed from wild after indulgence to pitiful. "My dear, I'm really tired. Don't you have to rush to Chicago today to join the crew and participate in the national promotion? Next time, please! My dear."
"B**h!"
With a voice that only he could hear, he whispered a foul language, Cameron Diaz rolled his eyes back and forth, took a few steps forward and came to the two of them and ignored it. Another woman, naked, said to Wayne, "Haney, do you need me to take a bath with you?"
"No."
Turning his head, Wayne looked with regret in his eyes, and looked at a white table on the balcony with a huge white candle standing on it. Judging from the traces that it had not been lit, it was obvious that he had forgotten about it last night. , A sorting box under the table is filled with all kinds of odd-shaped tools, as well as a soft leather whip, which the two women brought by themselves.
Although Naomi Watts is usually very happy to play some taboo games with him, it is impossible to experience more than that, especially if it is even more impossible to use these guys once. The eyes he looked at the table were full of regrets, one night was too short, even two women could not let him experiment again.
The two women obviously noticed his gaze, and after looking at each other, they couldn't help shivering. Cameron Diaz, an enthusiastic and unrestrained girl, saw those plug-type items, and she immediately started to shiver. With goosebumps all over, he turned his head and deliberately didn't bring up the topic.
Picking up the woman in his arms and getting off the bed, Wayne glanced at the time, walked to the bathroom, and shrugged awkwardly. Last night, he invited these two women to come to the manor together by ghosts, obviously playing too much. It was already early ten in the morning, and the scheduled flight was completely delayed.
