Chapter 39: Cheating schedule
"Fruit Hard Candy" will be released on July 19?
"This is not good news, what are the theaters doing?!" Victor was quite angry.
Zuke also squinted his eyes.
Every year in North America, from the first weekend of May to mid-August, it is a summer holiday in North America, and it is also a time for blockbuster films. Many major Hollywood companies are able to reap huge box office during the summer holiday.
Of course, this also means that the fight is extremely tragic!
If large companies are still like this, it will inevitably lead to small and medium-sized film companies whose films cannot get enough screens and can only be reduced to cannon fodder.
July, isn’t it the North American summer vacation?
Ten-million-dollar films produced by small and medium-sized film companies do not dare to be released in the summer for fear of being crushed.
I'm afraid of movies that cost tens of millions of dollars. For a movie with a volume of less than 1 million US dollars, how dare you compete with the blockbuster produced by big companies?
Aren’t you afraid of being crushed into cannon fodder?
Obviously, Wald Pictures is not so irony!
"Boss, the theater party is trying to mess with us!"
Victor took out the North American movie schedule for July and looked at the high-volume movies above, and his heart was raging.
"The Evaporating Secret Order", "The Oddity of the Clock Tower", "Different Miracles", "Independence Day", "Moment of Killing", "The Big Wave" and other films, which one is not released by the six major Hollywood producers?
Fuck!
Zhuke watched the movies released at the end of June and July, Quan Nima is so hard!
"Ge Lao Tzu's, this is for Lao Tzu to die!"
"These **** films are among the top 40 films in this year's North American box office rankings. No film has a North American box office of less than $50 million!"
Kidney hurts.
Just your own "Fruit Candies" worth less than 1 million US dollars, what do you take to get these blockbuster movies?
Hit the stone with the pebbles, hit the stone with the pebbles!
"Martha, you can contact several theaters to see if we can schedule our "Fruit Hard Candy" to be released in early August or mid-August." Zhu Ke said immediately.
"Okay, boss."
Sister Martha immediately called to contact the theater, but the results were not satisfactory.
"Boss, several theaters have said that the schedule is full in August and cannot be adjusted. If... if it is forced to be postponed, it can only be in September." Sister Martha's face was also ugly.
"Shit will be released in September! Students are all going to school in September, and the movie is for ghosts!" Zhu Ke couldn't help but feel angry from his heart.
Victor looked at Martha and said solemnly, "It will be released on July 19, how many rows can they give "Fruit Hard Candies"?"
There is no hope of adjusting the schedule right now, and I can only work **** the screen.
"300 screens in the first weekend. And they also said that this is because of our previous film "Run Lola" which won 100 million US dollars overseas, otherwise it would be difficult to get 100 screens." Martha The eldest sister gritted her teeth.
Search for 300 screens?
What is enough?
The theater line just used "Fruit Hard Candies" and Wald Pictures as cannon fodder!
Yes, the movie "Fruit Candies" has a small cost and is a niche movie type. It won't get too high a box office, but the quality of the movie is good. If you arrange a good schedule, there will always be a box office of 6-10 million US dollars. Right.
As for now?
was scheduled to be screened in a summer archive with a large number of films, and could win 3 million US dollars, thank goodness!
"Boss, should we postpone "Fruit Hard Candy" until March/April next year?" Victor suggested.
The schedule for March/April is relatively loose. According to Victor’s arrangement, "Fruit Hard Candy" can indeed get a good box office, but Zhuke does not want to wait!
"Don't wait for next year, let's schedule it to be released on July 19." Zhu Ke gritted his teeth.
"But..."
Victor wanted to say something, but Zhuke interrupted him.
In March/April next year, there will be a "Savage City" movie, which has a North American box office of nearly $60 million, which is enough to slap a lot of niche themes.
Although there are a lot of big movies in the summer season, "Fruit Hard Candies", a niche movie with very different tastes, may not be able to get a good box office as long as it is well publicized. It's just that it's very difficult, almost desperate.
Actually, there is another reason Zhu Ke did not say anything.
The director of "Fruit Hard Candies", but Zach Schneider!
Future Hollywood super director!
Zhuke has seen Zach's finished film, and I have to say that it is even better than the original space-time "Fruit Hard Candies". The postponement of the movie will inevitably lead to a series of unexpected situations. Choosing to face the difficulties is bound to make Zach Schneider more grateful to Wald Pictures, and deepen the connection between the two, which will be of great benefit to the future.
...
July 4th.
Wald Pictures.
Director Zach Schneider sat on the sofa with an ugly expression, shaking his whole body with anger.
"Zach, I’m sorry. We, Wald Pictures, are too weak to give you a good schedule and number of screens. After all, "Fruit Candies" is your first official movie. Unexpectedly, it was screwed up because of our Wald Pictures. Well, I'm Zucker Wald telling you again, I'm sorry~"
Zhuke's voice and affection seemed to be hit with the same expression, which made Zach feel guilty.
look!
Have a good look!
Benefactor!
A good man!
"I Zach is just a director, and Mr. Wald is the boss of the film company. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com film "Fruit Candies" did not get a good schedule. He is the one who loses the most, but now he is actually So comforting and consoling me as a little director, I..."
Zac felt more guilty in his heart: "Maybe I should go back and continue shooting the song MV."
Thinking of this, Zach got up immediately and solemnly said: "Mr. Wald, it is not your responsibility, but my responsibility, that the film did not get a good schedule. If...if my director skills are more solid , You will definitely be able to impress more theaters, so you don’t have to say sorry to me, I should apologize to you~!"
paused, and continued: "Maybe I am not suitable for being a director. I have no talent for directing. I may continue to shoot MVs in the future. I will just..."
"Fart!"
Zhuke yelled at him: "Zach! Mr. Zach Schneider, remember, you are a genius, a rare movie genius!"
"Isn't it just a movie? If you lose it, you will lose it. Lao Tzu will value you. As long as you are willing to make it, and Lao Tzu still has money, then you will keep making it. If one movie is not good, then make two, no more. , Just shoot one hundred and eighty."
"No money? The big deal is to mortgage the company, I don't believe we can't succeed!"
The voice fell, and Zac shook with emotion.
Look, this **** is the kindness of knowledge!
At this moment, Zach Schneider was so excited that he almost knelt down and was willing to drink, smoke, and burn his head for the old Zhu family for life.
"Oh, Nima, I don't think I have this good acting skill." Zhu Ke praised himself in his heart.
The second update of "" was sent, the minister once again said thank you to the book friends, thank you all for your support, I will continue to cheer~!
