Chapter 137 Eric's Ambition
Matthew Lunt squinted his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth and looked at the screen.
The fourth line after "Fruit Hard Candy", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Kill Bill" is the specific data of "The Out of Control".
"The Out of Control Jury" - 20th Century Fox; Box office of $4,034,904; 2,815 single-stage theaters have been released and the box office of $1,433; the cost is $60 million (1).
Each number was like a sharp blade, and as his eyes swept over and poked into his eyes hard.
The investment was 60 million, and the box office on the first day was only 4 million, and it was a Friday, not a normal working day.
However, this is only 4 million, and the box office is similar to this one if there is no accident on Saturday and Sunday.
By working day next week, he could imagine the bleak box office scene. In the end, if the box office in North America is about to exceed 40 million, it will require a long-term screening.
Not to mention the 20th Century Fox originally expected North America to receive an 80 million box office, but the reality is that cruel.
At this moment, the BoxOfficeMojo forum was also inflated because of the box office release yesterday.
"Fruit Hard Candy" was almost impossible to win the single-day box office championship in the eyes of most people, not to mention that the single-day box office actually reached 15.65 million.
15.65 million, even nearly 4 million higher than the first two days after the release of "Hard Fruit Candy".
"It's almost a miracle, God. It's even higher than the two days before the premiere? In fact, "Hard Fruit Candy" is just good, who can tell me why?"
“I like it anyway. I don’t care about other people.
There should be a guy like me. No one thinks that Jennifer Lawrence, the actor who plays Haley, is very beautiful? He must be a beauty when he grows up."
"I don't agree with my appearance, but it's not ugly, but her acting skills are just like God gave her. She is so big, and it's just the first film."
"This is the credit of Justin Chen. Scarlett's acting skills in "Buried Live" are excellent, and Joe Hamm's acting skills are also very good in this film. Especially when he was castrated, I was completely brought in."
"Is anyone speculating on the final box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" in North America? It has a total of 45.53 million from its premiere to now."
"According to today's box office and reputation, I think it's not a big problem to get $20 million on Saturday and Sunday, at least 80 million, and it's very likely to exceed 100 million in the long term."
"100 million, only $1 million spent, will those big productions hide in the corner and cry?"
"Justin Miracle Director, I think this term is awesome, as if "Super Burger King" is going to break the documentary record."
"Yes, 20.89 million should be able to break the record tomorrow!"
"Miracle director Justin, I'm looking forward to "The Little Beauty of Sunshine". Although it's not a thriller."
"So too, I hope Justin cherishes his name and brings us more good movies than bad movies."
...
Roger and Alice looked at the forum, "Fruit Hard Candy" accounted for almost half of the posts. As veterans of Chen Tian's movie fans, they felt extremely happy.
"It's really incredible 15.65 million. Justin, you created another miracle. I think more than 5 million is a victory." Eric Lomis made a phone call, and his words were extremely excited.
"Fruit Hard Candy" completely exceeded his expectations, which made him more confident.
Although "Fruit Hard Candy" has been released for 8 days in terms of time, it is almost negligible from Monday to Thursday, and in fact it is equivalent to 4 and a half days of release.
In just such a short time, it achieved a box office of nearly 45.53 million, which was 10 million higher than the total box office of "Limited Time Chase", which was released for 15 days.
In comparison, the cost of "Limited Time Chase" is as high as 60 million, while "Fruit Hard Candy" is only 1 million.
"To be honest, I was surprised." Chen Tian didn't expect to get such a high box office.
According to his original tone, "Fruit Hard Candy" is just a ticket for men and leaves, and they will be scolded very badly.
In fact, things were very similar to his imagination, but two cases unexpectedly appeared, and these two cases directly pushed "Fruit Hard Candy" to the Central Committee of the Storm.
At the same time, he also gave "Hard Fruit Candy" an excellent promotional opportunity. Chen Tian had to sigh that fate was so strange.
If it weren't for the two cases that happened to be exposed, perhaps the box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" would be about 60 million in the end.
However, it has now reached 45.53 million, and it is almost a sure fact that it has exceeded 60 million at the end of this week.
In this way, for two months of long-term broadcast, "Fruit Hard Candy" is likely to sprint towards 100 million yuan a little bit.
"God is fair, Fruit Hard Candy is a good movie, Justin, I have an idea, but it's not yet mature."
“Immature thoughts?”
"Yes, immature thoughts, now the senior management has decided to reshoot the 007 series, and if there are no unexpected situations, it is likely to be a success.
Now our production department is ready to draft a plan, but it will take until this time next year to determine some specific things, including the director."
Chen Tian suddenly reacted: "Eric, your immature idea is not to let me direct 007?"
"Justin, as a friend, I support you, but..."
Chen Tian interrupted Eric Lomis, he was not a fool: "I need more qualifications, right? For example, the agreement with Fox?"
"Yes, but that video will be launched until next year. At this time next year, we may need to report to the director. The copyright of 007 is very complicated.
Now we have copyright, but the production is still EON Pictures, and MGM is mainly responsible for the distribution.
But I want you to be the director of OO7, and you should know that it is not easy.”
Chen Tian didn't know what Eric Lomis wanted him to become the director of 007, but for Chen Tian, it was definitely a rare thing to be able to direct a big production like 007.
No director doesn't want his directorial career to become a super-mass director.
But it is not easy to get the opportunity to direct a big Hollywood commercial film. At least Chen Tian has not considered it much at the moment.
For him, although "The Queen of Prada" and the new "Assassin League" are also considered commercial films, the attention is far from comparable to series such as 007 and superheroes.
"Eric, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"If possible, shoot "Assassin League" in advance, or shoot an action movie before that. Of course, it would be better if "The Little Sunshine Beauty" and "The Queen of Prada" could be sold well, and I would be more confident."
Chen Tian’s impression is that the filming of "Casino Royale" was after MGM was acquired by Sony. It was launched in 2005 and was released in 2006.
In the end, the global box office was nearly 600 million US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing film in the 007 series.
Although the hero was announced to be Daniel Craig, countless 007 fans were dissatisfied, the quality and reputation of the final film proved everything.
Of course, Chen Tian couldn't forget that the sexy beauty Eva Green in 007 remembered Eva Green's screen debut "Dream of Paris", and this film seems to be released next year.
"Eric. I don't know how to recommend you. Honestly, I don't want to be so tired in the year. My original plan was to start shooting a new movie in January.
But now, your words have touched me, and maybe I will try to complete an action movie."
"Is it still a small cost?" Eric Lomis said with a smile.
"I don't know about this, Eric. You should know that it takes a feeling to make movies and shoe scripts."
"Of course, I know this, so I hope you can feel it as soon as possible."
For Eric Lomis, successfully pulling Chen Tian to cooperate with MGM is the most successful thing he has since come to power.
With the success of "Super Burger King" and "Hard Fruit Candy", he is full of expectations for "The Little Sunshine Beauty" and wants more.
And 007 is the real highlight of MGM, although the production rights do not belong to MGM.
But MGM owns the copyright. He naturally hopes to get the heavyweight work of 007.
He and Chen Tian have a good relationship and have an inexplicable confidence in Chen Tian. Chen Tian can defeat others and become the director of 007.
Then he can consolidate his position at MGM and even take him one step closer.
Of course, his stable position and further development need to rely on the 007 sales, but all this is based on successful directing.
So he hopes that Chen Tian will complete the filming of the film as soon as possible, so that he can better recommend Chen Tian.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tian rubbed his head.
The page of the newspaper on the table is exactly the entertainment page, and the headlines are the photos of him and Jessica Alba being taken secretly.
When he woke up in the morning, Grandma Wang scolded him bluntly, and after explaining, Grandma Wang bypassed him.
When Ada, the small family, saw Chen Tian making a call, he jumped directly to the sofa.
Now it is more cute than when Chen Tian first met. Chen Tian touched Eda's head, and his rest plan was disrupted because Eric Lomis' phone number was.
But in order to be able to direct 007, Chen Tian decided to make a move.
So Chen Tian is preparing to advance "This Man from Earth" which was originally filmed in January next year to November, and the shooting date of "The Queen of Prada" will also be advanced accordingly.
Then use as much time as possible to comprehensively study action movies.
This will not only make you more confident in filming "Assassin League", but also give you more confidence in the competition for directors of "Casino Royale".
PS: My hand got inflamed today. It was actually okay to wake up in the morning, but it kept flowing. Xiao Ai didn't dare to write. He was not only recovering from the wound on his body. Although it was awkward to walk because his right knee was broken in the center, he felt that it should be fine. Who knew that it was raining in Xuzhou when he went out for dinner in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, all the wounds that were not easily scabbed were broken. It would be fine if the water came out of the wound. The water from the wound told me that it looked healed and it was still inflamed.
Then when the rain was getting lighter, I went to the hospital for treatment. I came back to the evening and knocked my fingers on it. I have only written this chapter now. Please understand it.
What I am most sorry about is the book friends on Legend, who have not been updated for two consecutive days.
Chapter completed!
