Chapter 1535

……

October 1st, it's a Friday.

China is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China. In North America, when Simon got up, according to the time difference, it was already the afternoon on the other side of the ocean.

Simon arrived at the company in the morning. In addition to some things about the Tianlong eight that just ended last night, there is another project, the first week box office of the documentary Everest.

In a box office week from September 24 to September 30, "Mount Everest" made a good start with danilis's publicity and her excellent reputation. A total of 139 screens were opened in North America, with a revenue of $7.78 million in seven days and an average of $56000 in the museum.

Even though Simon believed that the project would be excellent at the beginning, the box office of $7.78 million in the first week still exceeded expectations.

Moreover, according to the feedback of the gaomen film team in charge of the project, the box office trend of the documentary also has a counter attack attitude. With the further spread of word-of-mouth, it is likely to achieve a counter decline in the next week.

Therefore, the gaomen film team made a proposal to open the release of this documentary on the ordinary screen.

Simon also found a problem.

In the same year, in 1999, the commercial operation of IMAX had just started, so there was a lack of content resources. Therefore, a documentary film probably won more than $80 million after a long release accumulation of no less than half a year.

This time, it's different.

The current time has entered October, and by mid November, when the Thanksgiving schedule is opened, a new IMAX blockbuster resources will be released. After all, with the support of danilis entertainment, the IMAX team has broken through the time limit that the early IMAX copy can only have dozens of minutes, and it is no problem to meet the two-hour regular film screening.

In short, before the Thanksgiving file is opened, Mount Everest can still monopolize IMAX for about six weeks.

Then, at least give up some screen resources.

In fact, in order to save the budget, only one of danilis's three summer blockbusters has produced the IMAX version. It is planned to have an ultra long line. After all, the cost of transformation and copy of IMAX is too high. At present, there are not enough screens. All three blockbusters are done, the cost performance is very low, and there may be a loss. However, the trend of "doomsday" is really a little decadent, so on September 24, together with some other films, all the pictures were drawn, and the screen resources were given to Mount Everest. Otherwise, the documentary won't get too many IMAX screens at the beginning.

In any case, there is not enough time. If you want to add up to 80 million as before, there is little chance.

Therefore, in order to maximize benefits, it is undoubtedly the best choice to release the ordinary screen version of this documentary as soon as possible. Otherwise, the full IMAX version of this documentary will have a market volume of up to $50 million this time.

Compared with the cost, the $50 million IMAX box office still makes a lot of money. However, at present, the documentary has such a good reputation that it's really sorry for the popularity of the film if it doesn't take the opportunity to expand the market.

So, of course.

As for the inability to get the best IMAX Experience on ordinary screens, there is no way. After all, there are only 139 IMAX screens in the United States, and only a few people can see the IMAX version.

The gaomen film team started planning in advance, got Simon's consent and implemented it immediately.

It is expected that more than 1500 ordinary screen versions of Mount Everest will be rapidly launched in the United States next week.

In addition, the documentary got off to a good start in the first week. Naturally, there is no need to hesitate to release it overseas. Of course, it will be rolled out as soon as possible.

Except China.

Simon's attitude is to let the bullet fly for a while.

If the box office accumulation in North America is higher, it will form a sufficient driving effect on the audience in China.

After dealing with these daily tasks, Simon rushed to Pixar studio on the second floor of danilis studios.

The remaining two hours in the morning were spent on the strange fate of ice and snow.

Simon has worked out the general story and character setting of this cartoon, including the theme song let it go, which once brainwashed the world. Next, Pixar's team will implement it.

This time we mainly discuss this matter.

In a word, although Pixar's animation film production progress is about one and a half a year, in fact, there are often two or three films being produced at the same time, mainly one animation film. After all, there can't be too many teams. If there are too many, it can't ensure the unity of the animation film style. Therefore, on average, half a year, but in fact, an animation film wants to be completed, If you don't catch up with the work, it's not impossible to be three years short, five years long, or even longer.

Just like Disney's princess with long hair, because of some stumbling, it has been done for more than six years, so the budget has greatly exceeded, reaching 260 million, and the final result is not warm. Of course, this is an exception.

At the end of the morning work, after lunch, there was a production meeting.

During this time, a number of new projects of danilis have been approved one after another. In fact, the "strange fate of ice and snow" just discussed in the morning is one. In the afternoon, the production meeting discussed the "man in black", which has been pressed by Simon for a long time.

Recently, it has signed a trilogy agreement with Will Smith, a new "steel bone" player in this space-time.

It's also in a hurry.

After reading "steel skeleton 2", Simon decided that the next sequel would get a very good result. In addition, there was the previous "Independence Day". In short, the later it was made, if he still wanted to use the original team, the price of Will Smith would only be higher.

Even so, in the agreement signed this time, Will Smith's starting salary reached US $8 million, and there was no share for the time being.

In addition to the popularity brought by "steel bone", Will Smith's film salary is mainly due to "Independence Day". After all, Hollywood has a special evaluation on which role is more popular and popular, even if "Independence Day" is a group play, More inclined, this is not the discord between Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger repeatedly hyped by Miramax in the original time and space. Although they do have tit for tat, the hype trace of Miramax who is good at marketing is also very obvious.

This time, it really bothered rob Marshall, a novice, and privately said he would never cooperate with Madonna again.

Fortunately, the film finally finished smoothly.

As for the discord between the two heroines, since there are successful "cases", this time, danilis is also constantly releasing information to ensure that it can not be fried. At the same time, she uses some behind the scenes gossip as much as possible to build momentum for this song and dance film, which is scheduled for Christmas at the end of the year.

At the end of the day's work, I returned to my home at Cape dume. It was past six o'clock in the afternoon.

I had dinner, because it was Friday night, as usual.

Of course, I don't plan to go to St. Lucas this weekend. After all, the theme weekend can't be too frequent and consume too much energy.

This is a reception at Shirley Lansing's house.

After the merger, the scale of the three companies is more than three times larger than that of the original MGM, and the pressure is doubled. The Hollywood woman who is often mentioned by the media side by side with Amy Pascal has to think about it.

Similar entertainment, in Hollywood, the higher the position, the more necessary it is for people. After all, they need to keep abreast of all aspects of Hollywood. If they just sit in the office, they certainly can't.

Of course, people like Simon have jumped out of the three worlds and do whatever they want.

Simon still didn't steal the limelight from the owner's family, and he probably understood that he came here tonight as a mascot to reconfirm who is behind the new 20th Century Fox company, but at the same time, Simon certainly won't compete with Shirley Lansing for control of fox. Although, the actual control is indeed in his hands, so, specifically, it is management.

For familiar fields, although Simon often micro manages, his energy is limited after all.

Therefore, after a general greeting, Simon found a quiet corner to chat with people as usual.

I'm surrounded by two English Roses tonight, Kate Beckinsale and Rachel Weizi. I haven't seen you for a long time. Rachel Weizi was recently discussing the Mummy 3 project with the new 20th Century Fox company, so she received an invitation to this party tonight. As a good friend, Kate accompanied her.

In a word, the two girls have returned all kinds of benefits given by the Westeros family, such as luxury houses and attendants, which can be regarded as freedom. However, due to their busy career, of course, there are some factors that have not been completely washed away, and they are still single for the time being.

Simon appears here, and the two women can't turn a blind eye. Even if they understand that sitting next to someone tonight, a label that hasn't been washed off may condense again, but they didn't refuse.

After all, this man's status is too high for women to resist.

Or, I don't want to resist.

Just chatted with the girls around him. Simon mainly talked with other guests, such as Jonathan Friedman, the head of wma who sat with him in the corner of the lawn, or Harrison Ford, who is actively lobbying to promote "Raiders 4" recently.

The topic inevitably comes to the past September.

Danilis's two new DHO dramas, the underworld family and the house of cards, and even the eight dragons, are not only in the film and television industry, but also increasingly become a wide range of social topics recently.

The surrounding people are basically hard to hide their envy and heartfelt compliments.

Danilis entertainment is too strong at the moment.

In fact, Simon happened to have discussed this problem with Amy at lunch.

The strength of danilis entertainment and the strength of its film, television, games, music and other businesses are, of course, integrated in essence. In other words, it is integrated with the whole Westeros system.

Let's say that a small "Tianlong eight", why can it get such brilliant results in a DHO TV station that has just been broadcasting for one year?

The key is that danilis entertainment, or the whole Westeros system, has too many resources to promote the TV series to the public. Therefore, even if the publicity budget of the project is only $100000, it is actually more than that, but only the publicity team and danilis There is no need to spend money to greet igrit and even other media platforms that are not affiliated with Westeros but have a good relationship. A large number of media manuscripts about Tianlong Babu are pouring in.

Not only that, because danilis entertainment is strong enough in Hollywood, it has unconsciously become the attention of more media that have nothing to do with the Westeros system or even make friends with each other.

Therefore, when daenerys entertainment itself has operated a round of publicity and public opinion on Tianlong Babu, other multimedia are aware of this news hot spot and will follow up spontaneously without lobbying and reminding here.

There are also emerging Internet platforms that have to be mentioned in addition.

With the control of Westeros system over the Internet, it is even easier to quietly set some parameters if you want to stir up a TV play. The same other platforms have nothing to do with Westeros, but if you want to get higher traffic support, you naturally need to focus on topics that can please Westeros.

For example, a Chinese martial arts drama that hit DHO late night theater unexpectedly.

If the articles about Tianlong Babu on other websites or forums have won the key promotion of igrit portal, the smarter relevant websites will naturally follow up in order to strive for traffic.

As a result, the publicity budget of $100000 has been really released, and has reached the publicity effect of $1 million or even $10 million.

Such an effect, let alone other small TV stations, is it possible to put it on the side of HBO, DHO's biggest competitor?

No,

Because even if "Tianlong Babu" is a little popular on HBO, it's not uncommon. After all, you are still the largest toll cable station at present.

Secondly, it happens that HBO and DHO are competing against each other. You are popular. Can you board the igrit portal and become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet platform?

Unless the phenomenon level goes beyond the prime time ratings, people bite dogs, of course, it is impossible.

Then, many film and television websites or forums will take the initiative to help you promote it?

Maybe.

As long as a play is good enough, there must be running water.

However, if you want to accumulate water into an abyss and become a tsunami, you must still need external forces. If this external force is not only positive work, but also resistance, that point of tap water will certainly be killed soon.

In short, the current state of daenerys entertainment is probably similar to the two giants of Disney and Netflix in North American film and television circles 20 years later.

Twenty years later, if you pay attention to Hollywood entertainment information, it is not difficult to find that all kinds of eye-catching headlines are often that Naifei's new play has started shooting again, and an assembly line blockbuster has created a 24-hour best result. Disney's increasingly tasteless Marvel blockbuster has suddenly broken through the box office record of a month, Barbara.

It seems that these two companies are the only ones left in Hollywood.

As for other giants, except for some popular large projects, they are basically silent.

On the one hand, the two leaders are large enough to attract attention, so that any of their projects can receive more attention from the global media.

On the other hand, the two companies are strong enough and have enough capital and resources to make their own projects occupy the layout.

The end result is that the stronger the stronger.
