Chatty Hollywood

"So, is Alexis finally willing to talk to you today?"

"Yes, but she still doesn't want to talk to you."

Charlize said bitterly to Charlotte, who was embarrassed.

Two days have passed since the premiere of "Happy Death Day", and today happens to be Christmas.

As a director, Charlotte is in a moment of relaxation after the movie is released. Charlize was also taking a break for Christmas, so the two got together again at noon.

Only this time, the atmosphere between the two is a bit awkward--

Because of the sense of accomplishment in defeating Cthulhu, Charlotte's self-control ability declined considerably at the time. When he and Charlize were fiercely "celebrating" in the world of painting the wall, they completely forgot that there was another resident tenant in the girl's body. .

Alexis!

He completely forgot to block the opponent this time!

When Charlotte remembered this, not only the premiere of "Happy Death" had ended, and even the second screening had passed.

Not only did he "celebrate" with Charlize in the world of wall painting, he came out again immediately after coming out.

——After all, the wall painting world only consumes mental power, but does not consume physical energy at all.

From this perspective, Charlotte has discovered a very cool gameplay, but--

"This feeling is so strange!!"

Charlize's tone was still bitter, but her face was a little red.

In fact, she felt very exciting the game that day, otherwise she would not acquiesce to Charlotte to tie her up...

However, after the matter, when I think of the existence of Alexis, the girl's feelings are more complicated.

It's obviously a matter of two people, why do you feel like three people are together! ?

Anyway, she felt awkward at the time.

This kind of awkwardness kept her from paying attention to Charlotte for the past two days, just as Alexis has been ignoring her for the past two days.

Fortunately, this morning, in the face of Charlize's Christmas greetings, Alexis finally replied.

As for the content of the response...

Anyway, the result of the discussion between the two girls, one person, one ghost, is that this is all Charlotte's fault!

So, when I came to meet today, Charlize was very interested in asking questions. But what should I say?

I have never encountered such a situation before, even on TV or in books.

Charlotte reacted very quickly. Seeing the opportunity, he immediately began to change the subject:

"The box office performance of "Happy Death Day" in the past two days is very good. Both have exceeded the 10 million mark. If you count today, you should be able to fully recover the cost."

"That's pretty good!"

Charlize exclaimed.

She let Charlotte change the subject half-consciously and half-consciously. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about it, and she felt that she could just give up.

In contrast, the performance of "Happy Death" is indeed more important.

"Because "Happy Death" is PG-13, it has a much wider audience than the R-rated "Fatal Turn"."

Charlotte continued to analyze,

"Such a larger audience group itself will bring more box office, not to mention that our opponents this time are much weaker than they were in "Deadly Turn"."

Although the Christmas time is a very important time in the North American film market, the competition in the Christmas time is much milder than that of the summer holidays, which are often crowded with blockbusters.

This is because many of the movies released around Christmas are aimed at winning the Oscars next year. These films often use long-term screening.

This is to be able to stay on the theater for a while, so that the Oscar judges can watch it at any time-of course, whether the judges will watch it is another matter.

On the other hand, because of the limited box office harvesting capacity of these films, they had to adopt a long-term screening and a protracted battle model.

In this way, over a long period of time, as long as the quality of the film is good, it will still be able to pile up a considerable box office after all.

——Although this also means that the film side must give the movie to the theater. After all, the theater is not a triumphant, and there are not enough benefits. Why should people show these tepid award-winning art films instead of those commercial films that are more profitable at the box office?

In fact, as the release time of a movie becomes longer, the ratio of the theater chain will generally be higher and higher, and the film side will take less and less.

This is why film companies generally like commercial films that can quickly reap the box office.

After all, no matter how much the box office is on the surface, the money that can fall into your own hands is the real money.

And this year’s Christmas file, the main opponents of "Happy Death Day", are all these kind of literary and artistic films that can't be played very much——

"The Days of Burning Love" was released on the same day as "Happy Death Day".

Although the starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are both famous and surnamed characters, the latter also took the statuette for "The Silent Lambs", but this film went in the point-of-view mode and opened the screen. Only 6 yuan, the box office can be imagined.

This can be said to be a typical award-winning film.

In contrast, Winona Reid's "Little Women" is a bit different.

This film adapted from a masterpiece is also a full-fledged literary and artistic film, and it should follow the award-winning model. But because of the high popularity of the starring Winona, he just got more than 1,500 open-drawing screens, which is completely a commercial film.

Of course, having the posture of commercial films does not mean that there will be commercial income. Judging from the current signs, Charlotte believes that the box office of "Little Women" in the first week should not be too high. NS.

Of course, this does not mean that the results of "Little Women" will be poor, after all, literary films...

But in any case, these literary and artistic films of "Little Women" have not been the opponents of "Happy Death" in recent weeks.

As a horror movie, it is actually a campus youth comedy, and it won the PG-13 rating of "Happy Death Day". The Christmas file is a family holiday schedule, which can be said to be its home.

Not to mention the dull literary and artistic films, even the commercial films of the same period, and few of them are its rivals.

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that there is no opponent at all. "Little Tarzan" directed by Stephen Sommers is highly regarded by Charlotte.

After all, not to mention that Stephen Sommers was the director of the later "Mummy" series. Just the name "Little Taishan" is not easy to mess with.

——Tarzan, as the famous king of the jungle on the big screen, has been reproduced countless times. This can also be regarded as a big IP in North America.

The plot of "Little Tarzan" is exactly the same as that of Tarzan, except that it becomes a teenager version. Such a movie can not only match Tarzan's IP, but also get box office bonuses for all ages. Naturally, it cannot be underestimated.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, the power of "Little Tarzan" is still limited.

"Probably because there are too many similar movies~www.readwn.com~ Everyone is interested in it!"

Charlotte guessed.

In general, the Christmas files of "Happy Death" are smooth sailing. Of course, too smooth will bring some unexpected troubles. E.g--

"You are Charlize? Charlize Theron!?"

Seeing the sparkling eyes of the little girl next to him, Charlize suddenly felt something wrong.

PS1: "Almost Fame" is a movie about rock music released in 2000. It seems that there are a lot of beautiful women in it, but unfortunately I am not interested in rock and roll. I haven't watched it, so I don't recommend it. PS2: Winona Reid was indeed very popular at the time. If she hadn't killed herself later, she should be the number one person now. I will write about her in detail later, so I won't go into details here. PS3: Tarzan is a bit similar to King Kong, it's the kind of old version that is very good, and there are constant remakes, but there is no big fire. However, Tarzan is better than King Kong overall, and there are also good ones in the remake. PS4: Speaking of which, Stephen Sommers, the director of "The Mummy", has filmed "Little Tarzan", and the starring Brandon Fisher has also played Tarzan. These two people are also considered to be destined. PS5: Everyone knows that entertainment texts, there must be a process of blowing water after the movie is released, so this chapter... PS6: Some book friends asked whether they can add more to the rewards, I have to say, I want to add , But the hand speed is limited. So I am going to take advantage of the new year to make more points, if I save some, I will add a few more chapters. PS7: Finally, ask for a subscription. After all, one stage of the story is over, and everyone who is raising can take action. Keeping it will feed you to death. Especially the recent subscription, it is likely to determine whether the book will continue to run naked in the next two to three weeks. Please support it. If there are really good pushes, I will definitely add more feedback to everyone during the Chinese New Year.
