??Chapter 102 Cowardly Di Mouse, two small things
?? "Huh... Fortunately, those guys at Sony know how to look good."
?? "Really? Why do I feel that Steven is protecting Roland strongly?"
?? "Okay, okay, no matter what, Roland is not the main force of the announcement, and our movie can be released on time."
?? "Then... lay the film according to the previous plan?"
?? "Yes, the time remains the same, it's still November 15th."
Just when Roland shared with his family the finalized character setting of "Jurassic Park", the office of Bowei Films was still brightly lit. As Walt Disney's distribution business head office, on their desks, Lying there turned out to be the poster of "Captain Hook" printed and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures.
??If you look closely, you can see that Roland Allen on each poster has been marked by these guys with red pens, and nearly 20 posters are laid out directly like Magic: The Gathering.
According to common sense, as an animation company that wants to develop the live-action film business, Disney has nothing to do with Roland Allen no matter what, but now, as soon as the announcement poster of "Captain Hook" is laid, these guys will Like a mouse seeing a cat, it vigilantly collected all the news related to Roland in the market.
??There is no other reason.
?? It's purely Roland's popularity right now!
??Sony, that foreigner, is so shameless!
?? And when the two of them put together, Disney, it's almost too late to eat!
According to the normal announcement rhythm, the focus of the announcement of the movie "Captain Hook" should be focused on director Steven Spielberg, starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and On the body of the heroine Julia Roberts.
With the four of them here, I am not afraid of "Assassination of Kennedy", "The Addams Family", "Star Trek 6: Future Fight", "The Ultimate Vanguard", "The New Father-in-Law"... If you tie them together, you will be able to carry them If they can't afford the box office, then Sony can find some noodles for these guys and let them hang themselves.
?? But the problem is, the annual film market share is only so much!
Market share has always been linked to per capita income and consumption patterns. The quality of movies can affect the market, but the effect is extremely small. In this way, how to earn more while maintaining the market depends on these announcements. The senders showed their talents.
??Using Roland as a cameo to promote is also the way capitalists like Sony came up with. If Spielberg hadn't stopped him, then the brackets on the poster would not be a cameo, but a special appearance.
??Don't doubt the integrity of these capitalists, the supporting roles are cut into the protagonists, it happens everywhere.
?? Hua Tsai in "Chasing the Dragon", and Xingye in "Along the Way", were both tricked by the same person.
?? As for whether this kind of bad money behavior will affect the actors?
?? It doesn't matter to their investors! They don't act!
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Spielberg's pressure, Roland might have been tricked by Sony, who wanted to expand the market crazily, but now, even if Sony is not shameless, they still rely on Roland's global exposure rate, to catch a wave of east wind, hoping to earn more box office through Roland's influence among the children.
??The promotional slogan of "Looking for Roland" is really beeping.
?? And there is no lower limit for the posters made solely for Roland—
??If even the actors in the 'Three Seconds' shot can be included in the poster, there will be hundreds of guys who can promote the movie!
??Of course, the fact that Sony attaches so much importance to Roland is actually a reflection of his value.
?? But as they did this, they directly worried the Disney next door to death!
??Last year, when Disney released the animated film "Little Heroes to the Rescue", "Home Alone" was born, and they were smashed! A small-budget animated film didn't even return the script, which shows how ruthless Roland Allen is!
?? And this year?
??In the previous summer vacation, in order to avoid "Terminator 2", Disney directly withdrew "Beauty and the Beast"!
??Their opponent at the time seemed to be a combination of James Cameron + Arnold Schwarzenegger + Roland Allen, but it could really affect them! Isn't it still the same Roland Allen as the Disney fanbase?
??Although the existence of Perelman is also one of the main factors, it is also the key to Disney's change of schedule to not want to be hit by Roland's movie. But the problem is—
??I’ve postponed and changed the files for four months, and then bumped into you again, you little bastard?
?? This special code is still unbelievable!
??Disney does know that Spielberg's "Captain Hook" will be released by the end of this year.
?? But they also know that "Captain Hook" is not a fairy tale movie for children at all.
?? According to their estimation, as the popularity of "Terminator 2" subsides, Roland, who played a cameo in "Captain Hook", should not be the key to the announcement, but what about now? Who knows, he actually made a fuss in MJ's MV?
??This kind of global hard-broadcast laying at least tens of millions at a time!
??Why, to Roland, this thing seems to be free of money, and he can use it whenever he wants?
When Disney heard the news that Roland's code had been exposed again, Buwei Pictures, which was responsible for the announcement of "Beauty and the Beast", was actually numb. They really didn't want to fight with the guy who earned 10 million box office in three days. Lai, they just want to cheat the box office!
?? And just as they were pondering whether to change the schedule for the second time for "Beauty and the Beast".
??The posters printed by Sony made them breathe a sigh of relief...
??‘It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, the Sony guys didn’t make Roland the main promotion...’
??‘It seems that Steven Spielberg has a very good relationship with our chairman! Leave us a way out...'
??‘If the filming period is changed again, this movie will really be impossible to make! Hurry up and spread this movie out! '
Yes, with the explosion of the two films, Roland's global personal box office has reached 700 million ("Terminator 2" is too slow), in this case, relying on the children's six money Disney, who eats in a bag, doesn't want to run into him at all!
?? Or, in other words, none of the current Eighth National Congress wants to put his own movie in the same schedule as him!
??The meaning of the existence of the eight majors is to make money, and children's money is often the best scam!
??Once a child tells his parents that he wants to see Roland's movie, the guy who is at the same age as him will sell tickets for a fart!
??After all, everyone's time is limited! Energy is also limited! Screen cakes are even more limited!
??...
??Of course, Roland didn't know what Disney was afraid of because of himself.
??Even if he knew, it wouldn't be a big deal.
??Even in the Internet age, Roland would not open a small account and post a comment because of this matter.
??Put the engagement ring directly in front of the camera like Sister Shitou?
?? Isn’t this trying to deliberately blind the eyes of the people who eat melons?
Compared with those major film companies who regard Roland as the box office leader and feel that the movie "Captain Hook" has the potential to kill all audiences, Roland thinks that even if Sony is taking advantage of its own popularity, the box office is still quite high. Worrying.
??In the previous life, how did this adult version of Peter Pan become the top five in the world?
?? Isn’t it the realization of the popularity of the main creative team?
??Although the whole movie is under the banner of fairy tales, it is not friendly to children at all.
??Because they have no life experience, they can't understand it at all.
??As for the former children who already have life experience, many of them are being dragged down by life!
??Want to let them walk into the theater to relive the beauty?
??That can only rely on the personal charm of the main creative team!
not to mention-
?? Some of the shots were taken by him.
??Even if Spielberg thinks it can be used, Roland still doesn't really have much confidence in his craft.
?? Before seeing the finished film, the ghost knows what he will look like.
??...
When Bowei Films printed crazy posters and wanted to release "Beauty and the Beast" before "Captain Hook" and defraud children of money, Roland, who had just finalized the project of "Jurassic Park", Was 'invited' by Fox.
?? After he finished reading the script of "Home Alone 2" written by John Hughes and approved by the Fox Green Light Committee.
??He is amazed at the industrialization process of Hollywood scripts.
?? Sure enough, the ability to make sequels to cheat money is their strong point!
??How to play the same stalk into a different feeling is the real skill of these screenwriters.
?? To put it bluntly, they are just catching a sheep and stroking it desperately. When the sheep is bald, they will put it to cool down and wait for it to restart!
??Although Roland doesn't like this kind of uninspired work, he will not refuse money high-mindedly.
?? What more in-depth literary and artistic films are you pursuing?
??When the commercial film you make can be liked by everyone, it will be a literary film that can be included in the palace!
?? "I think it's okay, when will we shoot?"
?? "This book is given to me, and in the next time, I will only prepare this movie."
?? "Don't worry, I still have professional ethics."
?? "Although I have a few notebooks in my hand, if I mess around, Steven will definitely knock my head."
??The law of the film market is actually that those who win business win the world.
?? Oscar winner?
?? Without commercial appeal, you will not be able to enter the front line.
??Only those who can slap the table and ask for dividends from the management are the predators at the top of the food chain, and even they can't guarantee that they can bring in the box office of every movie.
?? No matter who it is, I can only say that I work hard to make every movie well.
??Nicolas Cage has indeed changed from the best actor to the king of bad movies, but he is still acting well in every script he plays.
??Whether the movie **** or not, he deserves every penny he gets.
?? Pull out teeth when they need to be pulled out, and eat rotten cockroaches when they should be eaten raw.
?? And Johnny Depp is the same, the producer wants him to change gold teeth?
??Just change it.
??They can be the biggest when it comes to salary, but when it comes to filming, they can shoot whatever they want.
?? Knowing all this, Roland naturally knew what he should do. "Home Alone 2" might be a large-scale commercial?
so what!
??Now that you have accepted it, let’s take a good shot!
?? As for eleven plays a year?
??He really can't do it.
And when Roland stuffed the closed script into his bag, the Fox producer who got an affirmative answer beamed with joy, ""Captain Hook" will premiere in Los Angeles on December 8th, so our movie will be in On the tenth."
?? "Don't worry, your main creative team will take a special plane to go there, regardless of the travel time."
??Compared to Disney who didn't want to collide with Roland, Fox is actually a fine individual.
??Roland has box office influence and background, so he is the uncle.
??As long as he can take good photos, let alone changing the start-up time to match his activities, even if he uses a special plane to pick him up, it’s fine!
??As long as you can make money, then everyone is brothers!
?? And if you can't make money...
?? At least they don't worry about this kind of thing now.
?? Seven hundred million for the two movies!
??Roland may become the youngest Mr. Billionaire in the world!
??Compared to the lukewarm box office of those extras, how could he, who has always been the protagonist, collapse so easily?
?? As for transformation?
?? Of the top ten works on the global box office list every year, at least four of them are projects of their Jewish gang!
??With this kind of good product rate, if he doesn’t take off, who else can fly?
??...
?? After Roland finished the two projects of "Jurassic Park" and "Home Alone 2" one after another, seeing that the time was about the same, he pretended to call the truck driver.
??However, when he asked, where was the other party?
?? This divorced guy told Roland very rudely that he was making money in New York.
??To be honest, Roland really wanted to make up stories for David before, but now—
??When there is no way to go to the village or back to the shop, what can the truck driver do when he goes to New York?
??The point is that he was also very happy to be told that he has often visited Perelman's securities company recently.
?? Yes, after hearing what he said, Roland also understood, where did this guy get the several hundred million dollars he spent on building submarines in the future.
?? Tens of millions are required for every divorce! Even Spielberg can't afford to pay him so much!
?? And when Cameron hinted at him, everything was easy to handle.
??Worried about being hated?
?? Then let the funds go from the bank opened by Perelman!
??After learning about Perelman's indifferent attitude through the truck driver, Roland handed over their address in New York to David. Since some things are hard to say, let's leave it to a guy who knows how to handle it!
?? "Are you sure you're going to use the "Home Alone 2" salary contract and Berkshire Hathaway stock as collateral?"
??Although his tone was full of doubts, David's upward glance was extremely calm.
?? "Of course, don't play too much, just spend enough." Roland nodded with certainty.
?? "Ok, I understand..." After receiving an affirmative answer, David put away the things directly. At the same time, he also said: "I can help you deal with these things, but I won't talk to..."
?? David is a very steady guy.
?? From the fact that he would rather make less money, but also keep his daughter and Roland's various authorizations, we can get a glimpse of one or two.
??Roland also understood that even if he told the other party that the bear would disintegrate, he would not believe it, so...
??Then let him do it alone.
?? "No problem David, you don't have to do it."
?? "In case I lose money, I still have to rely on you to support me."
?? Roland's mischievous tone made David shake his head, sneered, and said, "Forget it..."
?? "Like your father, you have a lot of ideas."
?? "He also likes to gamble, but he only won once, and that was when he caught up with your mother."
?? "As for you... I wish you can win this time."
?? "Really? What if I lose?" Roland picked up a pen from the pen holder and twirled it with his fingers.
?? "Losing?"
?? "Then I can only close the company for you and stop the loss in time."
?? "But the corresponding debt still has to be borne."
?? "Looking at your salary of tens of millions, you have to make five movies first, right?"
?? "I wish you a long life."
?? "Oh, well, thanks..."
??David said so, and Roland was relieved.
??Although he understands that there are truck drivers and financiers with big bald heads, and he has returned the history of the world to the teacher, he can't lose money, but-it's still great to have David to help him out.
?? And he also discovered that rich people are really more likely to succeed than ordinary people.
??Because they have more chances to come again than ordinary people.
?? "Then, when are you leaving?"
?? "Arrange the things in the company first, leave on the fifth, and come back on the tenth."
?? "What? Then you are not attending the premiere?"
?? "Yes, I don't like the red carpet, it's a good thing for me not to join in the fun..."
"Decided?"
"certainly!"
??Since David answered so affirmatively, Roland would not force it.
??With the finalization of the matter of stroking the bear's fur, Roland also cleaned up all the trivial things on hand.
?? It took fifty-eight days to find the sense of interpretation and write biographies of the characters.
?? After he finished all the preparations before shooting, he also received a call from Mohamy.
When the other party told Roland that he had received Cole Needham, Roland decisively set aside a day to go to Silicon Valley to meet him, and after handing over the invitation letter to them, the time quietly came to ten. On February 8, when "Captain Hook" was released.
Note: ?Beginning in 1985, before the release of "Aladdin", Disney's development idea was live-action movies, and animation movies were also made, but the box office was not good. "Beauty and the Beast" did not dare to compete with "Terminator 2". I didn’t dare to grab the Christmas slots. Even if it succeeded, I didn’t dare to continue grabbing the slots for the second year’s "Aladdin", which was released before the Christmas season. "Pocahontas" only started to grab the summer slots, and in the past seven years, every time an animated movie was released, they were scared. ?As for the cameo appearance as the protagonist, Andy Hua himself said it himself. There is a video on Youku. The matter of Xingye is purely because Wang Jing wanted to use Xingye at a low price. The money for the guest appearance is different from the money for the starring role. Later, when filming "The King of Thousand Kings", Wang Jing wanted to repeat the old tricks, but the star asked for a price of 8 million in ten days, and Wang Jing didn't want to lose money, so she added scenes crazily. Since then, the two have never cooperated . ? When Cage starred in "Birdman", two teeth were pulled. In "Vampire's Kiss", the stinking dead cockroach is swallowed directly. As for why, this is actually a strange rule of the Humane Society of the United States. They think that eating live cockroaches is inhumane for cockroaches. In fact, "The Shawshank Redemption" also encountered this problem. In that movie, all the scenes of feeding maggots to crows used natural dead maggots, because it is inhumane for maggots to feed live maggots to crows. Behavior. At first I thought it was a made-up joke, but after I read AHA's deeds, I didn't know what a silly beep is.
