Feeling?I think... Not bad, I'm an Al movie fan, I think the part he danced in tango and the part he scolded in the end was amazing!
On the TV, a young man wearing a baseball cap said excitedly in front of the camera.
Thank you, thank you for your answer.
After getting the answer, the reporter made a gesture to the photographer, and the camera then turned from a guy who wanted to show his face on the screen to another young black man walking out of the cinema, with his girlfriend next to him.
Hello, can I know your names?The reporter asked first.
Well…My name is Woody Andrews, and this is my girlfriend Mia Harrison.The black young man seemed a little shy, but her girlfriend was very lively greeting the reporter: Hello.
Did you just watch the movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women"?
The reporter continued to ask, and immediately asked after receiving a positive answer: Can you tell me, do you think of this movie?Why did you take your girlfriend to watch this movie?
Great movies, especially when Al dances to Tango, are really attractive.
The black girl named Mia answered first, and the black young man thought about it carefully: A very exciting movie, especially Al's last speech in the auditorium, resonated with me. At that time, I and the people around me were applauding involuntarily.When I was in high school, I had experienced similar things, but fortunately I made the same choice as Charlie.And the reason I watched this movie with Mia was because I was able to meet her at the beginning, which was related to that matter.
It sounds really good, thank you for your answer.
The reporter said that, giving them a thumbs up, then put the microphone to his mouth and looked at the camera: OK, George, now I have good news and bad news to report to you. The good news is that 80% of the audiences who participated in the answers think that "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" is very good; and the bad news is that after investigating for so long, I am exhausted and want to rest, so let Billy turn the camera back to the studio.
Thank you, Todd, thank you for your on-site investigation.
With the host's voice, the TV screen returned to the studio, and the host who was broadcasting the news smiled. Obviously everyone liked this movie from the bottom of their hearts. Adrian, as the director and producer, believed that he should be very proud. After all, for a long time, this movie that was refrigerated by him was not favored by people, and he must have spent a lot of effort on it.OK, today's show ends here, we'll see you next time.
With a light bang, the TV screen turned black. Claude put the remote control in his hand on the coffee table and looked at Adrian sitting on the other side with a smile: Are you very proud now, Wizards director?
Of course, why not?
Adrian shrugged and said for granted, however, this is not the most proud time. When Howard Manor is released next month, I will surprise more people.
Still so confident.
Claude said with a smile, getting up and pouring himself a glass of whiskey, then turning to Adrian: You have surprised many people now, are you going to have a glass?
No, not for now.Adrian shook his head when he looked through the documents on the coffee table again.
Okay, let’s have a drink and just treat it as a celebration.Claude poured another cup without saying a word and put it in front of him.
celebrate?Adrian raised his head in surprise.
It's Ah, celebrate your first movie in North America for over 100 million yuan.Claude raised his cup with a smile.
Adrian raised his eyebrows, and then the cup laughed: That's right.
Although the box office of "Pulp Novel" has always been lukewarm but it has been quite long-lasting, and it has always maintained a box office of two or three million every week. It even became a little popular during the Halloween holiday, returning to the top ten of the North American box office rankings that week with a box office of 2.6 million.
So after 22 weeks of release, the movie finally won more than $100 million in North America!
Because of long-term screenings, the share ratio of theaters at this time is much higher, but compared to the investment of about 10 million yuan in the entire movie, there is no loss.
Besides, when the film is now facing the downstream and the peak season is approaching, "Pulp Novel" still maintains a box office of one or two million per week on weekends, which has to be said to be a miracle.
The box office, reputation, and honor are all considered a bumper harvest. The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival is not something you can get casually. I still understand it after you won it for two months.
Claude's tone was filled with emotion.
That's just a sweet spot.
Adrian seemed dissatisfied. For Americans, Oscars are the most important thing. For Palme d'Or... unless they really don't get anything at the Oscars and are eager to restore their decline in popularity, the directors and actors will consider European film festivals, but if they want to go further, they will have to go back to Hollywood.
It’s really amazing that you have participated in all three major European film festivals once, and your opinion on them is like this.Claude said jokingly.
Originally, it was a paradise for small-budget movies. In the name of ‘art’, they never care about the viewers - most viewers’ opinions.If you cannot balance it, it will be a matter of time before you decline!
Speaking of this, Adrian frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Okay, let’s not talk about this. As long as "Howard Manor" is released smoothly and meets expectations, my goal this year will be more than half of it.He waved his hand immediately.
Oscars?Claude raised his eyebrows.
That's right, Oscar.Adrian smiled and made a gesture, I told you.
I have to sigh again, Ed.
Claude sips the whiskey in his hand, and there are more ideas in your head than the previous 20 years combined. As far as I know, the screenwriters of film companies have written scripts based on your ideas in the past few months, and it seems that they are not the ones you told me at the beginning.
They are actually there, but they are only emerging now.Adrian pointed to his head. I used to just put my energy elsewhere.
OK, that's it.Claude has not been obsessed with this topic. Let’s talk about the film company first. Frankly speaking, I think there are a few more movies currently investing and will invest in.
Is this your opinion, or?Adrian watched him make a gesture.
Claude was slightly stunned, then laughed: Why, Laver said the same thing to you?Oh, of course, he is a great CEO and it's not surprising that he'll have the same opinion as me.Although I don't know much about making movies, I understand the market and the risks, think about it, Ed, if...
OK, Crow.
Adrian immediately reached out to stop him from speaking. After making a few gestures and considering them, he sighed: I know, I will definitely not convince you on this, but I want to ask, how many investments or movies I have made without making any profits?
No.Claude just thought about it for a moment and gave the answer.
Adrian didn't say anything anymore, just spread his hands and looked at him.
Can you guarantee that the same will happen in the future?Claude raised his eyebrows and asked again, for example, the movie "Schindler's List".
This is not certain, and I told you that "Schindler's List" can bring us more than just monetary benefits.Adrian retorted immediately.
But what you just mentioned is economic interests.Claude smiled, shook his finger.
Adrian looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but finally spread his hands: It can't be 100%, but it can be 80%.In this regard, I believe my vision is much more accurate than you, because what you need is to take the overall situation.Moreover, we all know that without the support of a huge library of excellent quality films, it is difficult for film companies to scale up.
That's right, one of the reasons why the seven major companies firmly sit in the throne of Hollywood's giants is that they have a huge library of films, which is also the reason why Adrian wanted to take all the outstanding movies from the 1990s.
Besides, have you complained about too much liquidity before?You might as well invest in the movie.He continued.
OK OK OK You are always right.Claude gave up arguing with him.
Adrian smiled and let go of the topic and turned to another one: Speaking of too much liquidity, how about we acquire another film company?Acquisition of a film company that is a little bigger than Bothworth Pictures.Let me think, Miramax Pictures?Or a new line film company?
I want to ask, why do you suddenly want to acquire a new film company?Claude asked.
Because of the release.
Adrian raised his hands. If two film companies were in hand, many low-cost movies could be handed over to another distribution after this production, just like a big company, and it would also be helpful in establishing our own distribution channels.
Well, that's a good reason, but Ed, if you acquire another film company, will your main energy be on Bothworth Pictures or the newly acquired film company?
Claude reminded.
Adrian was stunned for a moment, frowned and didn't say anything again. After pausing for a few seconds, Claude spoke again: By the way, and that's also the two film companies you mentioned are currently negotiating with Disney and TBS respectively. According to the information, it is very likely that they will be acquired separately.
You mean... Adrian's eyes lit up.
According to my previous contacts, ABC has negotiated with many companies, and the one who is most interested in them is Dinis, so I prefer to acquire TBS.Claude explained a little.
It sounds like this is not bad.Adrian, who understood what he meant, nodded, but vaguely felt that something was inconsistent with the memory, but it was difficult to remember for a moment.
On the TV, a young man wearing a baseball cap said excitedly in front of the camera.
