Hollywood Starts with Animation

???? Universal Pictures.

???? In the evening of the same day, a group of executives of Universal Pictures gathered again, everyone's face was full of sadness, and of course, the expression of anger.

???? "Damn!"

"The Chainsaw" is just a film directed by a newcomer, and the production cost can exceed one million dollars, but now? Judging from the data given by the theaters around the world, its premiere day There's a good chance it'll be over $4 million at the box office that day."

????"asshole!"

???? "The person responsible for the specific execution below is simply a bastard!"

???? "Yes, we have repeatedly emphasized more than once that we must not despise and ignore Wald Pictures, and we must put great pressure on it, but the people who are responsible for the specific implementation under it have not taken it to heart. "

???? One after another Universal Pictures executives cursed angrily.

???? They were shocked!

???? The box office on the first day exceeds 4 million US dollars. This is definitely an insignificant box office result in the Christmas period, summer period, and Thanksgiving period. After all, during these periods, the daily box office is often several million, Tens of millions, that's a common occurrence.

????But!

???? Don't forget, now is the April schedule.

???? is the worst off-season period of the year!

???? As of now, in the entire April period of this year, the film that has achieved the highest daily box office is "A Beautiful Mind" produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, but it is only worth more than 3.2 million US dollars, which is still Bonus from Oscar.

???? The daily box office in the April schedule is 4 million US dollars, which is definitely a ceiling achievement.

???? So, the executives of Universal Pictures were shocked.

???? Of course, they were more angry.

???? "We have repeatedly emphasized more than once that we must not despise and ignore the works of Wald Pictures, and put great pressure on them, but the people who are responsible for the specific execution below...

Chapter 682 Champions at the start (page 1/5),. , they completely ignored our orders. "???? This executive said again. ???? "..."???? At this moment, the other executives did not say much, and did not dare to say too much. ????Why????? In 2001, the French Vivendi Group acquired and joined Universal Pictures. Considering the reason why the entertainment industry places great importance on experience, the Vivendi Group did not make a big deal about Universal Pictures. The executives carried out large-scale personnel transfers, and only dealt with some executives.???? But is this really the case????? As the old saying goes: one emperor and one courtier.???? Since Vivendi Group is successful If you bought Universal Pictures, you will naturally arrange your own people to enter Universal Pictures, including the specific person in charge of many departments. ???? Now the bad influence is coming out! I've always been used to speaking out, I'll say it! "???? This executive said sharply: "At present, more than half of the specific heads of many departments in the company are from the head office Vivendi Group. I don't deny the ability of these people, but their experience in the entertainment industry is superficial, and they have very little industry experience. How can we win this battle under this kind of performance. "???? The production cost of the movie "The Chainsaw" is worth over a million dollars; ???? The director is a newcomer; ???? The cast members are all unknown newcomers; All types of movies look to Hollywood,

Can be said to be everywhere. Therefore, even if the executives of Universal Pictures paid great attention, those who were suddenly transferred from Vivendi Group to Universal Pictures did not pay much attention to them.

???? "cough cough"

???? Vice President Theo promptly diverted the topic: "Stop talking about this, what we want now is a solution, not accountability here."

???? Everyone nodded.

???? Of course, many executives expressed dissatisfaction.

???? But for this sake, they...

Chapter 682 The Champion at the Start (Page 2/5),. No more words can be said, otherwise, it will inevitably cause turmoil within Universal Pictures. Those who are responsible for the specific implementation, their positions are not as good as them, but they are people from the head office, do you dare to try hard?

???? "We have to make it clear that once the box office of "The Saw" takes off, it will inevitably have an extremely bad impact on our new work "The Scorpion King" that will be released a week later."

???? Vice President Theo said solemnly.

????

???? Touchstone Pictures.

????"Amazing!"

???? "I have attached great importance to "Chainsaw", but now it seems that I have not attached enough importance to it."

???? "I just came out of the movie theater, yes, I just went to see the movie Chainsaw."

???? "This movie is pretty good, it's a very bloody and brutal movie, it will inevitably make some audiences feel sick, however, if a horror movie makes the audience feel that way, it means it has been Half the battle. A morbid, mad murderer, all kinds of grotesque and horrific ways to kill, a meaningful central message..."

???? "At the same time, the film breaks the bottleneck of more and more routine and commercialization of horror films over the years. With its exquisite conception and unbridled bloody violence, it stimulates the audience's senses again and again. I have a feeling , which brings back the atmosphere of the golden age of B-horror movies in the 1970s."

???? Touchstone Pictures CEO Olmedo repeatedly praised and kept talking.

???? Words, full of praise.

???? In comparison:

???? Universal Pictures is shouting abuse, and he is repeatedly praised, the two form a sharp contrast.

???? "Sir, is it appropriate for you to praise our opponent like this?" the secretary said.

????"Hahaha!"

???? Hearing this, Touchstone Pictures CEO Olmedo laughed and said: "Tracy, if you even give your opponent at least...

Chapter 682 The Champion at the Start (Page 3/5),. I don't even have the right face, so my pattern is so big. Remember one sentence, you must clearly recognize the strength of your opponent, and never let anger occupy your high ground. "

???? Miss Secretary Tracy thoughtful.

???? First of all, it is necessary to clarify the fact that once "Chainsaw" takes off at the box office, it is bound to have an impact on "Scorpion King" released by Universal Pictures a week later, and it will also affect the upcoming Touchstone Pictures' new film "Scorpion King". The Sign of the Sky has an impact.

???? "From my heart, of course I don't want to see Chainsaw hit the box office."

???? Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, pay attention to get cash and points!

???? "But now, this fact has already happened!"

???? "I personally like this movie very much, but we are opponents, so the top priority is to stop it, suppress it, disgusting it in terms of public opinion..."

???? Touchstone Pictures CEO Olmedo, he has been a very qualified professional manager from beginning to end.

????

????really.

???? In the next time, Universal Pictures and Touchstone Pictures have used their strengths to make many media ignore the movie "Chainsaw".

???? hype it up, belittle it...

????impossible!

???? After all, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group behind Wald Pictures is a media giant itself, and it has the ability to reverse public opinion!

???? Therefore, the means adopted by Universal Pictures and Touchstone is to reduce the exposure rate of the "Chainsaw" movie and increase the exposure rate of their own film company's new works.

???? However...the impact of all this is very small.

???? Because even though they say that they attach great importance to "The Saw", they still despise this small-budget film directed by a newcomer director and the production cost is worth over a million dollars.

???? A few days later, the opening weekend of Saw...

Chapter 682 The Champion at the Start (Page 4/5),. The three-day box office results were released. ???? - $22.5 million! ???? That's right! ???? "Chainsaw" earned more than $22.5 million at the box office in the United States in three days on its first weekend, directly topping the North American box office this weekend. ???? "" the first more sent.
