Chapter 1508

When the general direction is finalized, it is inevitable that Miss Li is still chasing for some specific ideas. After all, according to her royal highness, Simon is the best screenwriter in Hollywood, who won the Oscar prize.

Simon is about to forget it.

Finally, it shows that there are still no faded tooth marks on the wrist. "Handy" gives two famous ideas in memory. One is my savage girlfriend and the other is my wife is a big man.

These are two well-known projects that successfully broke through the door of South Korea at the beginning of the century.

Actually, there's another one.

In the early days of the Internet, it was spread on a streaming media software platform that everyone owed a member in the memory of a generation. Because of its similar culture, this Korean restricted youth film is far more famous in Asia than its imitation of American school.

However, Simon didn't say it because it was definitely not suitable to be made into a "tourism promotional film".

In fact, the two "mine..." are not suitable.

What is more appropriate is "Roman holiday", but "Roman holiday" is not so easy to copy. The "girlfriend" and "big man" barely make a living. After all, after the new century, frankly, romantic films are declining rapidly.

Because somehow, everyone no longer believes in love.

The world seems to be the same.

Therefore, Hollywood no longer has "beautiful woman" and "sleepless in Seattle", South Korea has gradually lost "my savage girlfriend" and "blue love of life and death". More and more "Alice in the dying country" in Japan is no longer "Tokyo love story". China... Can fall in love with all kinds of subjects, but mainly because love is cheap, After all, it's much easier for the male and female protagonists to fight a mouth fight than trying to figure out the plot and burn money to make special effects. Just like an unscrupulous author who has written more than 6 million words in an entertainment article, he actually likes the story of men and women bickering most. It's a chapter.

As for love, what is it?

Since I thought of it, I sent Miss Li away after breakfast. After Simon left, he wrote down the idea of "color is empty" on the plane and transferred it to showbox entertainment in charge of Cheng Taixi.

The general idea is to imitate the American school. As for what it can be like, whether the box office and influence can be as good as ever depends on luck.

In short, the ongoing summer vacation in North America has once again proved the impermanence of the film industry, which needs luck.

The first is Star Wars Prequel: the phantom threat, which can't be bypassed in this summer.

With the release of Godzilla and other blockbusters in succession, the trend of the first song of the prequel into June is even worse than expected. The accelerating rate of box office shrinkage in a single week makes it difficult for the local box office of this super blockbuster that has been integrated into American culture to break even the initially expected $400 million, let alone the previous $470 million.

After the initial enthusiasm, more and more fans began to accuse George Lucas of screwing up everyone's expectations, which put Lucas under great pressure. He quietly adjusted the production progress of the next two sequels and planned to make up some. After all, there is absolutely no shortage of money for Lucas now, but as the founder of star wars, the Hollywood film superstar doesn't want his most glorious achievement to end in a dismal ending.

In addition, the failure of the first song of the prequel made the merger of the three companies impossible, and recently passed the antitrust review of the Federal Ministry of justice.

This is much smoother than danilis's previous expansion.

After all, the political resources and lobbying forces in Washington are far from comparable to danilis, even if the major peers in Hollywood want to block them.

Moreover, those who have the ability to intervene, such as Time Warner, which has been incorporated into the Ge system, will be released after private communication because of the friendship between the two sides. There are Disney and paramount, which do not belong to local capital. Even if they open their mouth, Washington must turn to its own people.

Therefore, when Simon returned to North America, the three film companies have entered the formal merger process.

And movies.

After the first song of prequel, it is naturally Godzilla.

Because it is also a cooperative project, Simon was not too optimistic about this monster blockbuster at first, so he put it in the front of this summer file, and the investment resources are also limited, competing with the first song of prequel.

The outcome is predictable.

It is probably because the special effects blockbusters in this era are far from making the audience aesthetic tired. In addition, the quality of the film itself and the global popularity of the name "Godzilla". In short, after the box office in the first week was higher than that in the first song of Star Wars prequel, Simon left North America. During the period from June 18 to June 24, the film fell by a considerable 43%, The revenue continued to reach US $63.79 million, and the cumulative box office reached US $175.71 million.

Simon returned to North America, in short, almost one-sided criticism.

Even if danilis's media and public relations team works hard, the comprehensive media score of "doomsday" is only 4.3. It can be imagined that if there is no behind the scenes easing, the word-of-mouth score will only be lower.

The word of mouth is not satisfactory. In fact, at the internal trial stage of "the Apocalypse", danilis's senior management basically made a judgment.

So is Simon.

After all, they are all old birds who make movies. It's impossible not to have this vision.

However, it was so bad that everyone was generally the first to criticize, which was still somewhat unexpected.

Answer that sentence again and look at luck.

Anyway, it's obviously not very lucky this time.

Of course, at the box office level, just as the Hollywood Reporter predicted, it will be "very impressive". After all, all kinds of works that exploded on the time line were scolded while holding high box office.

It should be the same this time.

After all, the selling point of doomsday is actually special effects.

As for the story, it's OK.

Then again, of course, the project had a fairly smooth script at the beginning, rather than the story told by the Los Angeles Times. The problem is that the film is probably like cooking. Even with the freshest ingredients and the most perfect ingredients, no one knows what a dish looks like before it is finally completed.

Too many variables.

Then, after a series of successive successes, it is inevitable that students of explosion Bei will start to drift, just as they once did, which is also human nature.

As a result of floating, the quality of the film naturally plummeted.

This is also consistent with the past.

In short, this film, which is also the best solo day in the popular summer season, has a total of $180 million in production and $50 million in publicity. It is also the highest expenditure among the three blockbusters. As a result, it may become the most disappointing one in the market performance of the three blockbusters.
