"How do you read the newspaper and make a good noise? What's so interesting? " Asked Lima, who had just come down the stairs.
"What's so interesting about newspapers?"
Zhuke shook his head: "but the battle between the Lord of the rings and hide the truth, the battle between new line and Warner, that's the most interesting thing."
Lima rummaged through the newspaper, still confused.
"You see, there are 11 newspapers in front of me, including time entertainment, AOL new weekly, TC entertainment, observer and so on. In the entertainment section, more than 9 mentioned the movie" hiding the truth from the world and crossing the sea "and reported it separately. In contrast, the Lord of the rings of new line pictures, in terms of media publicity, That would be miserable... "
Lima said in dismay: "I remember new line pictures is not a subsidiary of Warner?"
Smell speech, Zhu Ke laughs a way: "this is the difference of close son and stepson, you say, interesting?"
Nowadays, few things can make Zhuke raise his spirits, but the struggle between Warner and the new line can actually make Zhuke interested.
What's more, vold pictures, under the name of Zhuke, has signed an agreement with new line pictures and Goldman Sachs Group to jointly produce the Narnia legend film series.
Of course, Zucker was very happy to see Warner's death.
Disney, Columbia, 20th century fox, paramount
Hollywood film company, there is a count of one, eager to play new line and Warner dog brain!
"Juke, are you interested in the Lord of the rings movie?"
Asked Lima.
"Of course!"
Zhuke said without hesitation: "I'm quite optimistic about the future of Lord of the rings. Similarly, I'm also very optimistic about the film and television copyrights such as song of ice and fire and spy film. But the copyright of Lord of the rings belongs to a new line. The film and television adaptation right of song of ice and fire belongs to HBO of Warner, and the copyright of spy film belongs to Universal Pictures... I didn't get any of them."
At the same time, Zhuke also spread out his hands and made a look of regret.
Ding Ding Ding~
Just at this moment, the phone rings.
Caller: Kevin Fitch.
"Whatever you say, Kevin called at this time. It's estimated that he got the current box office situation of" hide the truth "and" Lord of the rings. "
Zucker said to Lima.
After that, Zhuke gets on the phone.
Sure enough... Jack's right.
As of noon on December 19, the movie "hide the sky and cross the sea" closed for us $4.3 million again in half a day today, down 3% from the first half of yesterday, continuing its strong box office performance.
The movie "the Lord of the rings" is a little bit of a joke
In half a day, more than 3300 cinemas reported only $3.7 million at the box office, with less than 30% attendance.
In contrast, Xinxian film is in a weak position.
"Zhuke, I remember that Tolkien's novel the Lord of the rings is not very famous. Shouldn't it attract a large number of fans of the original? How can the attendance be so low? "
Many doubts have arisen in Lima.
"The Lord of the rings is very famous, and there are a lot of fans in the original book. But because of this, many fans in the original book dare not read it," he said
As early as the end of 1999, when new line film announced the project of "Lord of the rings", it was opposed by a large number of fans of the original, and even small-scale demonstrations.
Moreover, even Tolkien's son and grandson, the original author of the Lord of the rings, had a dispute with the new line film industry because of copyright profits and dividends, and they also openly opposed it.
The most important thing is that the movie is not suck!
"If Warner were to publicize the film, the box office would not be so big or so dismal. Who would let new line film make its own distribution?"
Zhuke said lightly.
Under all kinds of negative factors, "the Lord of the rings" film has a bad start!
......
Warner Bros.
"The publicity department did a good job!"
"As of noon, even though Warner's" hide the sky and cross the sea "has been on for 12 days, it can still hold down the Lord of the rings, which has to be said to be well done!"
CEO Barry Meyer is very excited when he sees the box office data.
New line pictures is a subsidiary of Warner. How about it?
The stepson is not obedient
As a stepmother, can't it be rectified?!
Assistant also said with a smile: "in fact, we have been lenient, otherwise the opening box office of" Lord of the rings "will be even worse."
"Well!"
Barry Meyer agreed with the location leader: "the new line film industry is a subsidiary of Warner. If it changes to other film companies, we will use the media power to attack the Lord of the rings. Now we don't attack it. At most, we will reduce its exposure greatly."
Soon.
The box office performance of the two films, Lord of the rings and hide the truth, has reached Steve Ross, chairman of Time Warner.
"While I was fighting with AOL, Shea was a bit dishonest. It's good to teach a lesson."
Steve Ross said in a flat voice.
He is very satisfied with what Barry Meyer has done.
.......
Which of Hollywood's major film companies is not well-informed?
The box office data of the two films, they think, they will be able to direct, but it's just a waste of time.
The movie "hiding the truth from the world" grossed $4.3 million this morning;
"The Lord of the rings" grossed $3.7 million this morning;
"Shea's still a loser!"
Looking at the report in hand, Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate, sighed: "I've said for a long time that the cakes thrown out by the six biggest Hollywood companies are not so delicious. Do you see them now? He wants to get out of Warner's control. Judging from the box office results this time, it's hard ~ "
DreamWorks Spielberg: "beyond measure! I DreamWorks have given up surpassing the big six of Hollywood. Can its new line film industry win this time? You're kidding
Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, searchlight, Timon pictures
When these film companies saw the data results, they were all very disappointed.
Even Kevin Fitch said, "boss, you overestimated the Lord of the rings movie this time!"
But
They all underestimated the hard power of the Lord of the rings!
With the spread of the word-of-mouth of the Lord of the rings, the original work turned from black to pink, and they bought tickets one after another. By about 8 pm, the box office of the film has already completed the anti surpassing of the film!
As soon as the news came out, everyone was dumbfounded!
