278. Chapter 278 Continue

"Good news?" Sean looked at Frederick with a smile and said nothing after asking. After a few minutes of this, the agent who had always been there suddenly became a little restless.

Judging from the way he looked before, it was obvious that he wanted to speak out immediately, but at the same time he hoped that Sean would ask first so that he could show off. However, Sean never opened his mouth, and as a result, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Okay, just tell me what the good news is." Sean laughed and didn't make him embarrassed for too long.

Frederick breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said with excitement: "Your score will be increased, Sean, because 20th Century Fox has decided to arrange for the release of "Sniper Phone Booth" at the end of July!"

It took several minutes for Sean to react, and he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Scheduling the release of "Sniper Phone Booth" at the end of July? Summer vacation time? Is Fox crazy?!"

"When I was first thought about by Richard Lathan's words, I thought I was crazy, but the truth is exactly the opposite. After discussion, Fox and the others... agreed!" the agent said proudly, although he immediately added

One sentence: "Of course, David Zucker and Joe Schumacher also helped lobby."

Sean frowned and said nothing. Obviously, he still didn't believe that 20th Century Fox would drop such a movie. It has no big investment and no big-name actors. It is at best a very creative movie. It is placed on the summer vacation and those

Competition for big productions. In fact, last year it was postponed due to the 911 incident and to make way for "24". Until Frederick came today, he had not heard any specific news about the release of "Sniper Phone Booth".

There is news that Fox plans to schedule it in early October, and there is also news that they plan to arrange the film to participate in the Toronto Film Festival in September, but there is no accurate information. Now Frederic has come to say that Fox has nailed "Sniper Phone Booth"

It will be released at the end of next month, and it is still scheduled for the summer vacation. Naturally, Sean's first reaction was not to believe it.

"Of course it's because of you!" Frederick was even more proud. "In the history of Hollywood movies, no one has ever had five movies with leading roles or important supporting roles released in five months like you."

"Really?" Sean wanted to retort, but was immediately interrupted.

"Don't think too much," the agent waved his hand, "I don't deny that actors have released three or four movies a year in the past, but the key point is continuity, understand? Continuity!"

"I know, I know," Sean said impatiently, "There have been movies released every month for five consecutive months."

"Yes, that's it!" Frederick clapped his hands in approval, "So, what if we add another month?"

Sean stopped talking, and he began to understand how he convinced Fox that Sean Don would release his sixth movie for the sixth consecutive month, and it was also a one-man show, and at the same time, it was similar to "24", a 90-minute movie.

The movie shows a 90-minute story. In addition, there does not seem to be much conflict in schedules. No matter "Ratman 2" or "Men in Black 2", they are not the same type of movies as "Sniper Phone Booth", and they are both in the middle of the month.

Screened.

"The only new movies released at the end of the month are New Line's Austin Powers 3 and Disney's Country Bears. They are still not the same type of movies, so they will not pose a threat to each other." Frederick continued,

"Therefore, when movies like "Rat 2" have been released for two or three weeks, they are released together with "Austin Powers 3". Even if they are not comparable to big-budget movies, the box office will definitely not be much worse.

"

"Is this your inference?" Sean asked, rubbing his chin.

"That's true, but Fox's analysis is also the same. In addition, you have created a topic. The public will definitely want to know how your sixth consecutive movie - and also the only protagonist - is going to be." The agent said enthusiastically.

Said, "Furthermore, the North American box office of "The Fast and the Furious" has exceeded 100 million, and the results of "Perfect Thief" and "White Night" are also good. How could Fox not want to take a gamble?"

Well, this is true. People are always full of curiosity. As long as it can arouse them, they will definitely pay for it and go to the theater. Sean originally didn't plan to talk about five movies in five months in front of the public. He said it too much.

How easy it is to be attacked. Some guys like and are very good at finding fault with guys. Anyway, it is a fact that he released a movie every month for five months that either received good reviews or did well at the box office. No matter who

No matter how you attack, you cannot deny this fact. In this case, it is better to let it ferment automatically among the public.

However, Frederick's current lobbying also made him a little excited. So far, "Fast and Furious" has been released for three weeks, and the total box office in North America has reached 110 million, and is infinitely close to 120 million. To say that there is no such blog at all

Push, that's impossible.

Similarly, "White Night" and "Perfect Thief", which were already showing signs of fatigue, have also seen some small improvements because of this. The former has accumulated 67 million in box office, and it seems possible to exceed 70 million, while worldwide

Maybe it can exceed 100 million. Although the number of theaters currently showing the latter has dropped below 100, it already has more than 78 million. If it is extended for a period of time, if it exceeds 80 million, the global box office will exceed 100 million, and it is possible to take the opportunity to protect capital.

.

In this case, coupled with the above analysis, 20th Century Fox may indeed take a gamble. After all, this is a work with a strong personal style. There are many things to make a fuss about in terms of publicity, and the investment is not

Gao. And once Fox is behind him, Sean will be able to boldly talk about these things to promote himself. At that time, even if someone wants to find fault, someone will come forward to smooth things over without him taking action.

"Hey, Galen, Sandy, come here." After thinking for a moment, Sean called up the two guys who had been splashing in the swimming pool.

"I think it's worth trying. Anyway, "YouRaiseMeUp" has stayed in the top ten of Billboard's top 100 for 33 weeks and broke another record. It may break the record of the entire list in the future, so as long as

If the conditions are right, there will be no problem if you show yourself more," Sanders said.

Galen was more direct: "Come on, Sean, you have already made a decision in your heart, haven't you?"

"Okay, let's do it." Sean laughed, and then looked at Frederic, "Are you satisfied, Fred? If I deny it, will Richard come over to lobby me next?

?”

"We didn't consider that at all," the agent said without changing his face. "We just accidentally exchanged opinions when talking about this, but Richard said that if Fox is dealt with, you will definitely agree."

Sean laughed again.

Now that the decision has been made, it is time to take action as soon as possible before the promotion of "Fast and Furious" is completely over. Although Universal did not arrange many promotional activities at the beginning, after all, the investment in this movie was only about 40 million.

A premiere was enough. However, after the movie became a hit, they immediately changed their mind and arranged as many promotional activities as possible. Movies that can bring profits have special privileges.

Although it has been released for three weeks now and not much publicity has been done, there are still tails that can be caught. For example, two days later, Sean told reporters at a charity racing event that he will return to the theater next month.

There is a movie starring him coming out.

"Sean does always amaze people, and after five months in a row of starring in or supporting a supporting role in a movie every month, he continues to do so at today's charity race event.

He, who has always kept silent about this, finally admitted that at the end of next month, another movie starring him will be released, and I hope he will not keep it the same as last year." A few hours later, relevant reports appeared on the Internet, and then

It triggered a series of messages.

"Props to Sean for keeping this going for a year, I love 'Fast and Furious' and want to see better work from him."

"Idiot, even if he was filming every month last year, it would be impossible to maintain this momentum for a year, and his movies are not all commercial films like "Fast and Furious". You want to shoot every month in the next

Watch the art films starring him?"

"Sean's art films are also good. I think his performance in "Dead Man's Dance" was wonderful."

“But you’ll feel tired if you watch too many of the same things, right?”

“What’s his next movie going to be?”

In any case, releasing five movies in five consecutive months - oh, now it is six movies in six consecutive months - is indeed an unprecedented act nowadays, and it is no wonder that some people are so enthusiastic about it.

Soon, the general media also reprinted such news, so it spread even faster, surprising more people.

Of course, some people question whether the reporter heard it wrong, or whether Sean said it wrong. Just like the message above, even if he filmed every month last year, releasing six movies in six consecutive months is a bit exaggerated, but it is very

Sean Kuai admitted it again on the radio while promoting "bewhatyouwannabe".

"Yes, singing is just a hobby. I just like to do it and want to do it. I am still an actor to a greater extent. You know, I have had a movie released every month for five consecutive months, and this kind of

The situation will continue until next month, because at the end of next month I have another movie with a starring role to be released." In a radio interview with the host, when asked about the old question of whether he is a singer or an actor, Sean responded like this.

road.

As soon as this sentence comes out, it is basically certain that he will indeed have a movie released next month.

Not only that, Sean immediately added: "Of course, there will be no more after this, otherwise, even if I shoot every day, I won't have enough works to fill 12 months, right?
