Ace Hollywood

?

Others who didn't speak would inevitably applaud Matthew's speech in their hearts.

Someone is charging ahead and has done all the hard things that are hard to say and do. You just need to follow behind without pressure, which is certainly worthy of gratitude.

After waiting for a while, Daniel saw that no one spoke, so he prepared to speak. He had some expectations, but he was very surprised by the appearance of Matthew Fox. It has been a while since he was so rudely taught a lesson, especially since the release of "Bourne Bourne" for more than a month .

It seems that the release of "Greek Wedding" is more difficult than imagined.

Rita patted Daniel on the back of the hand and motioned for her to speak first. Tom Hanks was not present and was destined to be a supporting role. Both Daniel and David were sitting here, and the theater managers also took it for granted that the leading role was DD. Industry. But Rita is not a vegetarian. Tom is certainly the soul, but Rita is the one who contributes the most in daily operations and public relations.

Now that Daniel is being targeted, it is of course the best to come forward to ease it. On the one hand, you can also tell the theater managers present that "Greek Wedding" is not an exclusive movie of dd, but a cooperation project with He. They should, and need to give Tom Hanks, one of the biggest brands in Hollywood, a little face.

After all, Lao Tang's influence has surpassed Hollywood, and there is no way to control the hospital line in the field of studios, which does not mean that there is no other way. No industry is independent. For example, if the media industry magnifies some small accidents that occur in theaters, it will be hyped up. Another example is the government department verifying some measures of the theater chain, and even non-governmental organizations can block the door of the movie theater when the controversial film is on the air - a theater of Tom's level wants to fiddle with the theater chain. It's not impossible.

On the other hand, if the "young and vigorous" Daniel can't bear it, the impact will be too bad, and it will be many times harder to recover.

"Well, can I say a few words?"

Just as Rita was about to speak, a rather young man sitting in the corner asked.

Daniel thought for a moment. He just met everyone when he welcomed everyone, and the staff also introduced him.

"Are you Mr. Exxon Cooper, the manager of Oriental Cinema?"

Exxon was clearly pleasantly surprised that Daniel was able to call out his name and where he worked.

Oriental Cinema is just a small independent theater chain in the Los Angeles area. With three cinemas and seventeen screens, it is not surprising among the cinema managers who arrived today. But one thing, Oriental Cinema was started by Cooper's grandfather. It has a long history and has only recently passed to Exxon, in other words, he is his own boss.

"Yes, you can call me Exxon."

"Hello Exxon. Do you want to?"

"Just watched 'My Big Greek Wedding' and I thought it was very funny and refreshing. Greece, weddings, comedy, and then Daniel and Tom Hanks, whatever. It's all about A movie worthy of investment, Oriental Cinema hopes to fully cooperate with dd and the release of this movie, if you can support the promotion and materials. I am happy to spend 8 to 10 yuan from all three cinemas, which is We have half of our screens to show the film."

If everyone didn't know the old Cooper, Brent and Matthew, and others, would have suspected that this was the nurse that Daniel found.

Exxon Cooper was a rising star in the cinema chain, and his father was a hospital professor. Unwilling to engage in these things, the old Cooper passed the theater line directly to his grandson this year. After Exxon took over, the biggest handwriting was "Bourne Bourne". He was the first theater manager who dared to put "Spider-Man" and "Clone Crisis" aside and give most of the screen to "The Bourne Bourne", and he obviously got paid for himself - whatever Whether it is a single hall or a single screen, the rate of return is higher than other cinemas that stick to the two masterpieces.

"This kid obviously eats the marrow and knows the flavor, and wants to put the treasure on Daniel again. This time, he will not have the previous success again." Matthew and the people around him said.

Daniel admired the determination of this young man who was not a few years older than himself.

"Of course, Exxon, you won't be disappointed. David, Oriental Cinema, that's our focus."

David, who has been silent all the time, nodded and motioned to the dd staff next to him to record it.

Ackerson sat down again with satisfaction.

The timing of his capture was very good. The scale of dd was not large, and there were not many direct support resources for the theater. It was not difficult to choose to stand with Daniel at the critical moment when the big theater went crazy and get the best return. As Matthew thought, he did taste the sweetness from Daniel, and unlike big managers like Brent and Matthew, he was just the person in charge of a small theater. He observed and patrolled the lobby every day. Knowing how popular Daniel is in front of young people, at least the first day, as long as the publicity is in place, he will not worry too much about no one coming, and he will not lose money because of the name of Daniel. As for the second day, it can be based on reservation and feedback. Sure.

There are several other small theaters who have figured out this truth, and they all feel a little regretful for not being able to stand up and express their position at the first time. But it's not too late at this time, they are not close to the Oriental Cinema, and they can completely divide Daniel's fans.

So, a few more people stood up and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Putting it all together, there are already nearly 10 cinemas with fifty screens.

However, the three major theater chains and the aggressive Carmike have not given their plans yet, and other theater chains are watching them.

"Daniel and I specially invited everyone to come here today, and I would like to thank you all for taking the time." Rita said with a gentle smile, and several people in charge sat up straight, even Matthew Fox was no exception. Rita has dealt with them more than once. Many of the low-cost films invested are also released on a small scale in Los Angeles. They can recover some of the cost at the theater box office, and then sell them from DVD to big companies to make profits. This is a small studio's business strategy, so it is inevitable to deal with these theatrical leaders.

Therefore, everyone has different attitudes towards Rita. Of course, this does not mean that everyone will let go.

"I have cooperated with you many times, and Tom's reputation, I think everyone knows that the movie has just been let go. It is indeed a good movie of high quality. I believe that with Daniel's current appeal, I will invest with Tom. It is still very attractive for a small-scale release. At least, it is worth giving "Greek Wedding" a chance to let it accept the audience's choice, instead of denying it from the beginning, what do you think?"

Several people looked at each other, and Brent spoke on their behalf.

"Rita, I wouldn't say no to regal, but it's hard to say to give it hundreds of screens in the first place, it's unlikely. So what are your expectations? How many screens do you hope to get in LA? You and Daniel invited everyone here on purpose, not to get regal to come up with three or five theaters and a dozen or so screens to show it."

Brent seemed to satirize the first-ever Axel Cooper, but it wasn't that there were only three theaters in the Oriental Cinema with a dozen or so screens.

As Brent said, ddhe specially organized this advance screening, and Daniel and Rita were on the spot, naturally it was impossible for everyone to treat "Greek Wedding" with the standard of screening. In that case, as long as the Just send a copy and make another phone call. With two great gods, Daniel and Tom Hanks, behind the scenes, the theater chain will definitely be willing to invest in it. But now, ddhe has set a goal of winning more than 450 screens in the Los Angeles area, which is equivalent to a quarter of the number of screens in the entire Los Angeles area. In such a competitive Los Angeles, a seemingly For niche films, it is somewhat whimsical to want to get 25% of the films.

Noticing that Rita turned to look at him, Daniel understood that it was his turn to appear.

This is a novel experience.

The same is true for Brent, Matthew and the others. After Rita spoke, they thought that this time the negotiation was really handled by Rita. But after Rita went to see Daniel, and then Daniel stood up, they realized that they were wrong again, and this time Daniel really wanted to extend his tentacles into the distribution field.

"My friends~www.readwn.com~ As you said, me and dd Pictures, and of course Tom, Rita, and I hope you can support "Greek Wedding" more, why? In the past two or three months Inside, the movie market should have "Spider-Man", "Star Wars: The Crisis of the Clones", and "Bourne Bourne", 400 million, 300 million, 200 million, these blockbusters have almost exhausted the potential of the Los Angeles area's summer vacation We can try to analyze, the main audience of "Spider-Man" was comic book fans at the beginning, these people are generally young men and their girlfriends, friends, and later spread to other groups. But It's hard for a superhero movie to reach conservative middle-aged people, housewives, and people who are mild-mannered and not interested in action and explosions anyway. What about "Clone Crisis"? Star Wars fans bear the brunt and can't wait Isn't it? Besides them, can George Lucas attract people his age? Can he attract hardworking ladies? No. And "Bourne", which is my starring film, I think Universal Pictures should have clearly stated who the target audience of the film is when it is released, people who are interested in espionage, secret agents, gunfights and reasoning - generally young and middle-aged men, in addition to mine Fans. So, at this point, I think you should be able to understand what I mean.

Yes, next, it's My Big Greek Wedding. To be continued)
