Chapter 338: Lei Shidong gritted his teeth with anger
November 9.
Paramount Pictures’ new work "Dropped Head", which has been in preparation for a long time, is finally released today!
The film’s leading actor, John Needup, has recently gained popularity under Paramount’s publicity and his fame has increased rapidly.
"Oh? How about you asking me "Driftwood Valley"?"
Faced with the interview footage he remembered, John Nedpp immediately smiled and said, “Of course it’s very good. The movie "Driftwood" was made by Paramount after two years, and the production cost alone was more than US$60 million. , The number of people involved before and after is even more than 1,000. You said, is it not well-made?"
"Also, since August this year, "Dropped Head" has been screened in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and other places successively as many as 32 times, and as many as 872 viewers have given A+ ratings. "
The voice fell.
All the media reporters present nodded their heads.
Throughout the previous Halloween schedules in North America, the $60 million production cost of "Guillotine Valley" is undoubtedly a high-cost production.
A horror/thriller movie, Paramount dares to invest so much money, it can be seen that it is its ambition!
This year’s Halloween schedule, Wald Pictures’ "Death is Coming", the production cost is 22 million US dollars;
Warner Bros. Pictures’ "Haunted House", the production cost was 19 million US dollars;
Look again at the new films released by companies such as Artisan Entertainment, Lions Gate Pictures, Emperor Gate Pictures, and Searchlight Entertainment during the Halloween schedule. No film cost more than 10 million US dollars.
Although the cost of production is not a standard to reflect the quality of the film, it can also reflect the quality of the film with a high probability.
There is no doubt that Paramount’s new film "Dropped Head" is definitely the first strong film of this year's Halloween schedule.
"Damn it!"
Lionsgate’s boss Gusta said angrily: “Originally, I pointed out that Warner and Wald could tear their faces and fight a battle. I didn’t expect it to be just a little trouble and restraint. Let my company’s new work, nothing. There is no room for rise."
Now, it's worse!
Paramount Pictures’ new film "Dropped Head" was released, which completely broke the illusion of many small and medium film companies harvesting the box office.
""Dropped Head" is released today, and it has more than 30% of the film schedule, plus Wald Pictures and Warner, how many lines are there for us?"
"Turn the table up, stop playing!"
Gusta was angry.
...
Miramax Films.
"啧啧啧~"
Harvey Weinstein looked at the report in his hand and exclaimed: "Yes. First, Wald Pictures and Warner divided the market, occupied the schedule, squeezed a group of small and medium-sized film companies, and now it’s Ramon strikes, tusk tusk, this year's Halloween schedule, it is estimated that many people will cry~"
The voice just fell.
An executive sitting in his office immediately smiled and said, "Just let them die! Anyway, our company doesn't lose money."
Upon hearing this, Harvey Weinstein also laughed immediately.
This year’s Halloween schedule, Harvey had a premonition of the stance of fighting each other, so he decided to stop filming the new "Scream" series early and replaced it with a small production horror film that cost only 800,000 US dollars.
The results of it?
Of course it is making money!
The film was released for more than ten days, and it earned a total of US$4.5 million at the North American box office.
"From the box office alone, we can make a small profit. If we add in the later DVD and video tape distribution, we can make at least more than 3 million US dollars in this year's Halloween schedule." The executive laughed.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Harvey said with regret: "If the top three do not join the schedule this year, our profit will be at least 1.5 million US dollars."
...
at the same time.
As Harvey expected, there are many small and medium film company bosses who are almost crying~
"I will definitely lose money!"
"Me too. For the Halloween schedules of previous years, I was able to earn back the cost or even a small profit in terms of box office alone. But this year? Even if I add peripheral revenue and TV platform revenue, I will also lose a fortune, eh. , At least 2 million U.S. dollars."
"Hateful!"
"There is no objection to these now!"
"All we can do is hope! Looking forward to Paramount's new work "Dropped Head" hit the street, otherwise our movie will definitely lose money."
The people in charge of the production companies are all resentful, but they dare not speak.
Wald Pictures and Warner Bros., they can't afford it.
Paramount Pictures, they can't afford it even more.
You know, as one of the six largest Paramount, its parent company is Viacom Group. Among the subsidiaries of Viacom Group, there is a company called Blockbuster.
Blockbuster company!
It is currently the largest chain of DVD and video tape rental services and purchase services in North America. It has more than 4,000 stores in the United States and has a market value of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars.
Hollywood's many film companies, but they all point to the ability to make money in the DVD and video tape market.
Who dares to provoke Paramount Pictures? !
But... this time someone dared to provoke!
Warner and Wald Pictures, in order to protect the income of their respective films during the Halloween schedule, have targeted Paramount’s new work "Dropped Head".
Internet forums.
The naval forces of Wald Pictures are frequently dispatched!
"During the trial screening of "Dropped Head", as many as 800 people gave A+ ratings. Who said that? It's John Needup. Tell you, he is a liar!"
"I've seen the movie, it's extremely ugly!"
"Is my head beheaded? Broken egg!"
"I don't deny that the $60 million "Dale of the Dead" is a big production movie, but looking at Paramount's recent years, how many are outstanding?"
"Good movie, think about it too much~"
As many as tens of thousands of slander posts and hundreds of thousands of comments have instantly turned the producer of "Dropped Head" into the circle!
"Damn Zhuke Wald!"
Ms. Shirley Lansing, president of Paramount Pictures, yelled in spite of her image: "How could he discredit our movie like this? The cyber warrior is awesome~"
Jordan, the director of the publishing department, couldn't help complaining: "I reminded you last year that you had set up a cyber navy team, but you refused."
Upon hearing this, Shirley Lansing's face became stiff.
Jordan is shaking the pot!
Wald Pictures is stirring the wind and the rain on the Internet, and Warner is not idle.
Professionals with the title of "Famous Hollywood Film Critics" wrote film reviews in the media.
"For the movie "Drophead Valley", I can give a maximum of 5 points, no more! Of course the full score is 100 points."
This is the headline of the entertainment edition of Time Warner's "Time" in today's journal.
As the "Time Magazine" which has great influence in the United States and even the whole world, it represents "authority" and "credibility".
Although it also broadcasts a lot of fake news, there are so many people who can't stand to believe it! There are so many people buying it!
Many audiences who were originally interested in the movie "Drop Head" were unconsciously affected.
"Really ugly?"
With a preconceived idea, even if "Driftwood Valley" is excellent, the passing of a large number of potential audiences will inevitably greatly affect the box office.
No, the response from the theaters is the fastest!
30% of the output volume ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ reduce it a bit.
Even if the theaters are not as strong as they are after the 21st century, they will still consider their own interests. Regulating film arrangement is an inevitable choice.
So the two films "Reaper is Coming" and "Haunted Mansion" became the beneficiaries, and the number of films increased quietly.
Paramount Pictures’ boss and always energetic old man Lei Shidong gritted his teeth with anger.
"I know that Zhuke is always shameless, but I didn't expect to be so shameless."
"The front foot is cooperating with us to produce "Tomb Raider", and I had a good chat with me, and the back foot confronted my company's new work, slandered it and sold it very decisively.
"I totally overestimated the downline of this bastard!"
Lei Shidong was furious.
Lei Shidong's daughter, Sally, was also dumbfounded.
Of course, the actor who was most surprised was John Needup, the hero of the "Dale of the Dead" movie.
"啧啧啧~"
Depp said speechlessly: "We were drinking together and celebrating Halloween together a few days ago, but now? People scold me on the Internet, it's not merciless!"
Good friend Keanu Reeves laughed and cursed: "What kind of person is Zhuke Wald, you only know today?"
As Keanu who has a good relationship with Zhu Ke, there was a time when the movie schedule was the same, Zhu Ke's company did not spray him less!
The actions of Warner and Wald Pictures actually did not have a great influence on Paramount. After all, Paramount is not muddled, but...it's disgusting!
The third update of "" will be sent, and the third update will continue tomorrow.
