Chapter 963： Developing Easter schedule

The last set of shots did not have any difficulty at all. After more than ten minutes, in the cheering and celebration of some people in the filming place, the iron trap of "Iron Man" was declared over.

Arranging an assistant director to finish the work, Jos Weiden came to Eric, who had just unloaded the mark1 armor, and asked: "Eric, I will check all the footage of this time tomorrow. Are you coming together?"

At the beginning of "Iron Man" shooting, Jos Verden also worried that Eric would intervene in the production of the film too much.

However, in the past two months, he has completely avoided any scruples in this regard. Even Eric's occasional guidance during the filming process has made him the first rookie director to make a big production film. Jos Weiden is now hoping to get from Eric here. Get more advice.

After the plot in the cave is completed, the scenes in the studio will be quickly dismantled to make room for other films.

Therefore, the shots of this part of the scene will be very troublesome if you need to make up the shots. Eric naturally wants to ensure that he is foolproof. Although it is Sunday, he will not hesitate to hear Jos Weiden’s invitation. Promise down.

Several core masters of the film gathered together to discuss the shooting arrangements for next week, and Eric left the studio.

I noticed that I didn’t see Miranda Kerr until I left the studio. Eric asked Caroline and her two women: "Isn't you still back?"

Caroline shook her head. "No, I called over ten minutes ago. Carter said that they are planning to go back. Now it should take off."

Today's filming ended relatively early. Now it is less than five o'clock. Eric is not in a hurry. When he nods, he walks to the office of his own administrative district and plans to handle some companies.

Eric walked into the office and just turned on the computer. Caroline quickly knocked on the door and handed him a folder: "Eric, this is what you told on Friday, the movie in the Easter season. The film details of the film, Firefly, MGM and Fox are also included in the film."

In the face of the increasingly crowded summer and new year files, Eric has been thinking about developing a new hot stage since last year. In addition to stepping up the summer and spring festival release steps, he first puts his attention. On Easter.

In the plan, the ‘reald’ and ‘4200’ plans to promote 3d and ima films will be implemented by the end of next year.

At that time, the 3D and ima film sources of the New Year's file are naturally lacking. At present, there are two parts of the first part of "Geo-gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings", but only a few 3d and ima sources of the New Year's file. Obviously it is impossible to support the summer file.

Therefore, fireflies must release at least two 3d and ima format movies between the end of the year and the summer, to ensure that 4000 3d screens and 200 ima screens will not be in a dilemma due to lack of film. In the six months between the New Year and the summer, the Easter schedule is undoubtedly the best time to launch a new source.

Easter is the time for American students to take spring breaks, and teenagers are just the group that is the easiest to accept a new film screening model.

In fact, the Easter season has always existed, and Hollywood has launched many films every year during Easter.

However, in the past, all film companies’ attitude towards the Easter schedule was just a student’s holiday, earning more or less. If one or two box office dark horses could be fired, it would be better. Since it has not been taken too seriously, the Easter schedule has not been released in any major film.

Once the ‘4200’ plan is implemented, the situation is different.

Since it is still in the film era, the cost of making a copy of each film is between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on the length of time.

Although the cost of making a single copy is not high, the figure is multiplied by two thousand or three thousand, and the expenditure becomes very large.

In the movie distribution process, only a few thousand copies of the film cost millions of dollars. The dual-mode 3D movie is equivalent to directly doubling this cost. The cost of expensive ima film is equivalent to ten of ordinary film. Times.

Films released in 3d and ima mode are just copies, and the cost can exceed 10 million dollars. Under the current circumstances, the production of low-cost movies with a budget of less than $50 million is completely unnecessary to enter the 4,200 theaters in the Eric project. Therefore, two years later, during the Easter 2000, they will be connected to Gravity. And the 3d and ima movies of the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" can only be a big production.

In order to ensure that the Easter season film will not be lost, Eric intends to cultivate the concept of Easter schedule from the beginning of this year.

Of course, this process is probably just as complicated as the shopping carnival of the Double Eleven or Black Friday. Nothing more to improve the quality of the film released during Easter, and increase the marketing efforts to attract more viewers into the cinema.

In the information on the hands, MGM intends to focus on the film during the Easter season, the production cost is 35 million US dollars, which is considered a medium cost production.

To put it bluntly, the heroine of this sci-fi horror film was supposed to be Natasha Hensquech, and Natasha Huntsque, who started her model as a 14-year-old, is also a member of the Vimi Army.

Eric heard the gimmick talk about the film's audition last year, but did not intervene. Finally, the film's female protagonist was in Hollywood. Another very beautiful actress, Heather Graham, was in the body of Sarah Graham. The new line’s "No Night" last year also had a very good performance.

When "Iron Man" was selected, Eric directly assigned the role of "Vanity Fair" female journalist Christine Everhart to the Vimy Legion. Linda Ivangolin Stad, because Eric did not allow the secrets of the secret angels and the little plums to fall in love, privately gave him a nickname of jealous-daddy, which is still true.

Since he personally created the Wei Mi Legion, Eric never minds holding his own beautiful baby a little higher. Of course, it is not unhelpful to do so. Eric will hold the Vimi Army higher and his influence in the fashion circle will be greater.

Natasha Hensquech didn't get the role of "Different". After Eric released the quota, she saw Natasha Hensquech participate in the audition and gave her the role.

Perhaps with a bit of temperament, because of the prospect of "Ace of Heroes 2" is very optimistic, Elizabeth took this nonsense spoof comedy as the main film of Fox in the Easter period.

Finally, a new romantic comedy called "Wedding Singer", the hero is Adam Sandler.

If you compare the budget, the new line of "singer singer" is the lowest of the three movies, the production cost is only 18 million US dollars, probably only half of the cost of "heterogeneous" production, the same can not be with "Ace Big Spy 2" 30 million US dollars Compared to the cost of production.

However, among the three films, Eric’s favorite is actually “Wedding Singer”.

Because he just remembers this movie, in the original time and space, the heroine of this movie is Drew. Although it is not clear about the specific box office of "Wedding Singer", Eric knows that this film has almost the same meaning to Adam **** as Kim Kerry's famous work "Dumb and Agua."

This time, Shantou is definitely not going to blend this low-cost love comedy. However, the heroine who replaces Shantou is Aniston, which is naturally the result of Eric's intervention. After reconciling with Aniston last year, Eric happened to see the new line picking the heroine for this romantic comedy, let the chick try it, "Friends" has entered the recovery phase, and now it is already Aniston. The timing of the development of the film circle.

As for the male lead Adam Sandler, he has been a screenwriter and actor on Saturday Night Live since the early 1990s. As the resident actor of the longest life entertainment show in North America, Adam **** is also a household name in the United States. .

Many people often mix the bad guys led by Adam **** and Ben Stiller. But in fact, Adam **** is not a rotten gang member, but a self-contained family with a very obvious personal style. The rotten gang members focus on the low-pitched comedy with no lower limit, but Adam **** is more inclined to the warmer nonsense love comedy.

Of course, as the star who often dominates Hollywood's low-return rankings in memory, Eric's mentality for Adam **** is similar to that of the original Kim Kerry, or worse than Kim Kerry.

Kim Kerry still has the international box office appeal, but Adam Sandler's comedy, most of the time, is the same as the rotten play drama, the box office appeal is limited to North America.

Therefore, probably working with Adam **** on several movies, Eric will not plan to cooperate with each other once the other party's pay and project production budget exceeds the firefighter's acceptance. After all, fireflies are not lacking in projects. At the same time, the risk of comedy movies is actually very large. Once it becomes a big production, the probability of loss becomes very high. This is also Adam Sandler's frequent low-return rate list. The reason for the championship.

Even if the box office is good, but the profit is estimated to fall in the hands of Adam Sandler, the film company often just earn a hard money.

Three films, "Different", "Ace Big Spy 2" and "Wedding Singer", although not yet meeting Eric's expectations, are enough to support this Easter schedule.

Eric hopes to be able to plug in a big production movie, but on the one hand, after several years of eruption, the big production projects in the hands of the fireflies are in the development stage, which is considered to be a trough, and it is the earliest to want to do so. Can only wait until next year. On the other hand, whether it is MGM or Fox, although they have several large-scale productions that can be arranged in the Easter season, they have the projects of the two companies, even the summer and New Year files. They are still full of dissatisfaction, and Eric will not be able to ask the two to give up the popular schedule to expand the cannon fodder of the map.

After reading the information in the handle, Eric picked up the phone and called a few people to talk to Elizabeth, until Caroline knocked on the door again, telling Eric that the helicopter had returned, and Eric was ready to get off work. Come back home.

Leaving the office building, Eric came all the way to the helipad, but saw a group of seven or eight girls, Yan Yan, gathered around Miranda Kerr, and they have not left.

These girls are basically the same age as Miranda. Because they are children of the rich people in Beverly High School, they are dressed in casual dresses during the spring tour. Simple shirt jeans, many of them are also ponytailed, showing youthful and invincible vitality.

I noticed that Eric appeared, and seven or eight girls immediately screamed in surprise, and they came together.

"Wow, it really is Eric."

"I thought Miranda was cheating on us."

"Eric, can you sign us a name?"

"..."

Hey, hey.

Eric was a bit big.

He never disliked being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, but the least favorite girl was too noisy.

It seems that Eric’s disappointment is felt, and the girls are quieting down, but they are still boldly surrounded by Eric. They also ask if Eric can invite them to the Pointe Manor to see the shell villa.

Eric is dealing with it, but Miranda has already taken another girl and walked over.

Eric was dissatisfied with this Nizi's self-proclaimed opinion. Seeing the appearance of the girl with Miranda, the expression suddenly became very surprised.

The girl's size is not too high. Compared with Miranda, which has grown to one meter seven, she has just surpassed Miranda's shoulder. A long blond hair, the face is not amazing, but it looks very green, with a small skull on the right cheek.

I noticed that Eric looked at himself. There was some tension in the girl's eyes, but he quickly took the initiative to come over and introduced himself: "Mr. Williams, hello, I am a student of Miranda, my name is Scarlett. Li, Scarlett Johansson."

Eric didn't expect to meet the former black widow here, but it didn't feel too strange. Scarlett Johansson had already debuted a few years ago. Eric has seen this in several films. The figure of the girl is just not too careless.
