There are many things to be happy about at a stage, such as having achieved outstanding results in doing things. The specific example is that even after entering the summer vacation, "My Grand Greek Wedding" is still retained at the North American box office.

At this time, the number of theaters has dropped to about 1,000, but the weekly box office can still be around 7 million. It seems that there is still a lot of momentum. Vladimir's expected North American box office of 150 million is very likely, but he himself seems to be more optimistic.

"If we can maintain this momentum, wait for the summer vacation to pass, or there are no more big productions that are popular with audiences to release, we might be able to expect 200 million." He said so.

I don’t know if it was stimulated by the box office of the movie. Although Sean has not given a clear answer, the expectations are still much higher. You know, the box office he predicted was 50 million. However, his ability is indeed good. Since Sean made a promise, the production company has moved to Burbank and the distribution department has also been set up. Vladimir was the one who worked in the Bowei distribution department after all.

However, it will take time to complete the running-in and form effective operation. Vladimir is only alone after all, so for the time being, just wait for "My Grand Greek Wedding" to be released and the DVD will be released. This is also a place to make money.

Basically, Sean has made a decision, and whether it is Garen, Sanders, Neil, or Frederick, they all agree to grow the production company if they have the opportunity.

"Any company needs to go through this stage if it wants to develop." Garen said, "Since you are not deliberately concerned about control, then just maintain a certain right to speak."

"Vladimir's advice is also good. Set up a subsidiary to make movies according to your wishes and then take the copyright into your hands. Even if they dare to go out, they will think carefully about gains and losses." This is what Sanders said.

"As long as you want, I can get you an investment of at least 10 million," Neil said, "Of course, I personally think that if you can make some movies with good box office, you can get more investment."

But Frederick's mood is much more complicated, although he only says: Just don't delay your main work.

From a personal perspective, Sean is still the most well-known customer in his hands, so he hopes that he will continue to move towards big stars. But from the company's perspective, if Sean's production company uses the production of "My Grand Greek Wedding" several times from beginning to end, it would be better.

In fact, he was thinking too much, and Sean was very clear about what he wanted to do. Just like the words he often said, as long as he made a decision, he had to go on unwaveringly. Actors were his main business, and this could not be changed.

As for production companies, of course, we must also focus on it. If you become a producer here, you will have a greater say. Which famous big stars and big directors have not served as producers in some movies? As for control, it depends on the situation. In a society where the investment environment in the United States is already perfect, if a company wants to develop, it is impossible not to deal with those venture capital investors, nor can it be a small share of equity.

In short, just be careful and don’t let them squeeze themselves out of the company. Sean believes that even if you can’t remember the low-cost and high-box movies like "My Grand Greek Wedding", you will definitely encounter them in the future.

In addition to making achievements in careers, it is also also happy that people who are hostile to you who don’t like you are unlucky.

After the Cannes Film Festival closed, by the end of May, Disney spent 140 million yuan to claim that "Pearl Harbor" was finally released in more than 3,000 theaters across the United States, and then earned a box office of 59 million in the first week. This data looks good, but compared with the cost, it makes people shake their heads. You should know that "The Return of the Mummy" released at the beginning of the month only costs 98 million yuan, but it has a box office of nearly 70 million in the first three days!

It was undoubtedly a very bad start, and to make matters worse, the critics were almost full of criticism.

"The lengthy rhythm of the movie makes people impatient, and the slow plot makes people drowsy. Two-thirds of the stories before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor can be cut off," a film critic wrote.

These are all good reviews, and more people scolded it: "This is a meaningless movie. Pearl Harbor is one of the most important events in World War II and one of the most painful injuries our country has suffered. Countless people died for it, but the movie is basically centered around the love triangle of the three protagonists. This movie should not be named "Pearl Harbor", it should be called "Rave, the father of Danny's child."

Yes, the slow plot of the movie is just a trivial matter. With Michael Bell here, no matter how slow the plot is, it will not be much slower. And everyone who has watched it admits that the perspective of the bomb's spiral fall is very outstanding, so tampering with history is an important reason for the strong criticism of this movie.

"I'm very angry because there are so many people who died in Pearl Harbor. I saw many people's bodies being transported away, many wounded soldiers bleed on stretchers, and some people jumped into the burning sea of ​​oil in despair. But this film only tells the story of two people, as if no one else exists!" This is what a survivor said in an interview with a reporter.

So a reporter wrote: "This should not be a war movie, this should be a romantic love movie."

Therefore, "Pearl Harbor" not only has only 6 ratings on imdb, but also only 25% freshness on rotten tomatoes.

It is said that scars are the medals of men. As the only place to be injured in World War II - although Hawaii was not an American territory at that time - Americans naturally cared about the Pearl Harbor incident. In addition, Michael Bay and the producers were both stupid and wanted to challenge the status of "Titanic", thinking that the disaster and love model would be invincible, but they ended up falling out.

"Although the box office in the first week is close to 60 million, with its current reputation, the decline in the next week will definitely be around 50%. "Vladimir once predicted this.

This is the case. By the second week, the weekend box office fell to 28 million. Although driven by the box office in one week, "Pearl Harbor" exceeded 100 million in North America, everyone knows that it has weak potential.

"How about it, my original choice was right." Sean seized the opportunity to show off to Frederick.

"Yes, yes, your opinion is always correct." The agent could only roll his eyes and answer weakly.

In fact, although Pearl Harbor's box office was bad and it certainly did not meet the producers and Disney's expectations, it did not mean it would lose money. I learned more from Vladimir, Sean, who is concerned about how big studios operate, can be sure of this.

The United States believes that movies have tampered with history and criticized them greatly, but other countries may not be sure, so the box office in North America is not good, and there is still a large amount of overseas box office. In addition, Shanghai's distribution rights are another income. After all, this is produced by a large studio, and with Hollywood-style account books, Disney will definitely not lose money.

Moreover, large studios have an advantage. They can contact more than 3,000 theaters for movies anytime and anywhere, and can also give up part of their profits to extend the release time of theaters.

However, even if the box office is not losing money, the reputation must be really ruined. As the male protagonist of a big reputation production, I don’t know what Affleck would feel like. If he thought of Sean, who made a movie that was obviously more profitable than Pearl Harbor, what would he think.

However, no matter how happy things are, they are not as happy as something else to make Sean happier.

"Are you sure it's here, Nami?" Sean, who had opened the cabinet and searched for a long time, finally couldn't help but turn his head and asked.

"Of course, I'm very sure," Naomi sighed, put down the things in her hand, wiped her hands and walked over, "I'll tell you very clearly."

As she said that, she stood on tiptoe and hooked her hand, and took out the thing she wanted to take: "Look, isn't this?"

"Who can see you put it at the bottom?" Sean murmured.

"Okay, you'd better go out and read your script, don't mess with me here." Naomi snorted.

"I can cook too, and I have made it more than once." Sean, who walked out, his voice seemed aggrieved, but he answered that the thud made after the kitchen door was closed.

"Okay..." grunted again, Sean sat down on the couch and continued to watch the script on his laptop.

After returning from Cannes together, the two of them had nothing to say, and their relationship returned to the previous situation, with a very tacit understanding, as if Naomi had never had any previous request to end.

Well, thanks Galen. This is the first thing Sean thought of after he came back. From Naomi, he already knew everything Galen did for him. Thank God, they didn't know what was behind. After half a year, the misunderstanding was completely resolved, and he and the two girls flew together.

However, frankly speaking, Sean didn't think too much when he was encouraged by Garen to go to Cannes. The words he advised him were indeed his thoughts. At least he had to witness Naomi's success and make sure she would not be able to do so again.

So what happened later happened naturally. They kissed passionately on the beach, then found a place without anyone or lights, and lingered in the sound of the sea water on the beach under the starry sky. After that, they returned to the room, and they rolled on the bed again and again, asking each other for it again and again. Not only did Naomi take the initiative to blow a hair for Sean for the first time, Sean also picked her backyard flower.

During the whole process, although Naomi was so painful that tears came out, she always grabbed Sean's hand and refused to give up.

So, after the two of them came back, they returned to their previous appearance without saying anything. In fact, they still had a very strong feeling in their hearts.

"It's not bad, I've made a lot of progress." Sean likes this feeling, so even though Naomi learns to cook Chinese food is not that good, he still eats all.

A smile flashed quickly on Naomi's face, and then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how did the script be read."
