Screenwriter Mystery

Chapter 374: sequel loses

In the next few days, as word of mouth brewed, "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows" continued to decline.

In the second week, the box office result was only over 10 million, which made many theaters who were originally watching directly give up the screening of the film.

And the result of this approach is that the unsatisfactory box office of "The Witch 2" once again showed a significant downward trend, directly cutting the box office by nearly half.

Cinema owners would rather make less money, but never do business at a loss.

Obviously, it has become a consensus in the market that the box office of "The Witcher 2" is bad. Under such circumstances, they are naturally unwilling to continue to invest in this film.

Next, the ending of The Witcher 2 is predictable.

As Hollywood's loss-making sequel, a change is inevitable within Universal, the filmmaker.

After all, in terms of production cost, "The Witch 2" continues the style of the previous work and is not high, but if you add the early copyright purchase costs and subsequent publicity, then "The Witch 2" can at least be called a medium. The investment in the film, the loss of such an investment.

No matter who you put it on, it's enough to hurt for a while.

...

Of course, "Blair Witch: Book of Shadows" failed at the box office, and that's something Universal only needs to consider.

For Zhao Yuan, after the copyright of the film is sold, it has little to do with him.

The vast majority of the media and film critics have also targeted screenwriters and directors.

Even the occasional mention of his name or two is just a denunciation of his failure as a producer.

To be honest, the longer you stay in Hollywood, the more irrelevant these kinds of remarks are to Zhao Yuan.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.

A lively party is going on.

"Come, come, who is it this time?"

In Beverly Hills, the reporters who received the news gathered together, watched the luxury car driving into the villa, and quickly picked up the camera in their hand to take a picture.

Click, click!

Accompanied by a rapid shutter sound, the luxury car drove all the way into Beverly Hills.

If possible, these reporters guarding outside naturally hope to follow the owner of the luxury car into the villa and take more useful photos.

However, looking at the eyes of the patrolling security guards around the villa, looking at their complete equipment and strong muscles, several thin reporters had to swallow, gave up this unrealistic idea, and turned instead. Watch the results of this shot.

"Look who is?"

"It's a little fuzzy..."

"Damn the driver, he's blocking my camera."

"Haha, I caught it. It's Tom Cruise. I didn't expect him to come to Ellen Zhao's party."

Hearing that some reporters had taken key photos, several reporters who had failed to return could not help but pouted and looked a little unwilling.

"Speaking of it, it's just a simple party, why do so many Hollywood superstars go to Beverly Hills, does Alan Zhao really have such a great charm?"

Having said that, the reporter who spoke up had a hint of jealousy in his tone that he didn't even notice.

After all, the current situation is simply unbalanced to the extreme.

Some people can live in Beverly Hills with big bucks and enjoy party food and beauties, but they can only shrink under Beverly Hills and fight to the death to take a picture of the party guests.

Of course, if there is no change in future elections.

Perhaps, a certain president will use his own answer to give the reporter an answer.

"Because this is life."

Of course, at the moment, although there is no "wise saying" of the great president to wake up these reporters.

However, there are still sober reporters who said: "If you have Alan Zhao's box office appeal, Hollywood will also flock to you. At present, he is the most profitable director in Hollywood. It is said that Warners has already released words and intends to invite the other party. To form the Justice League universe that belongs to Warners."

The news that Warner Bros. invited Zhao Yuan to take over the "Green Lantern" movie, although he did not get an accurate reply from him.

However, this does not prevent Warner from using this to build momentum for the new movie.

After all, this is just an intention. In Hollywood, this method of pre-inviting hype has a long history.

Even if Zhao Yuan rejected the invitation in the end, Warner would not lose anything.

Of course, from the perspective of Warner, they are actually quite willing to facilitate this cooperation.

Nolan has made it clear that "Batman 3" will be the final work of the series, and after losing Nolan's call, facing the menacing Marvel, Warner is eager to have a new player Come build your own superhero movie at Warners.

At the box office, Zhao Yuan has already proved his ability.

At the same time, he has also dabbled in the superhero theme.

The combination of the two undoubtedly makes it one of the most desirable candidates in the Warner Justice League universe.

What a pity, compared to the enthusiastic offensive that Warner has always shown, Zhao Yuan, the invited party, has always shown a cold attitude.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in the Justice League project in Warner's hands.

If Zhao Yuan knew what Warner was thinking, he would definitely tell them.

He's not completely out of ideas for the Justice League, but it's a shame that there's a huge problem in the project to form the Justice League Cinematic Universe that's holding back the movie itself.

That's Warner himself.

Don't look at Warner's eagerness for talent when inviting him now, but once the filming begins, Warner's interference in the film itself will immediately become apparent.

For Zhao Yuan, he shoots movies in Hollywood in order to enjoy life.

It is not to make myself unhappy, so instead of participating in Warner's film projects, it is better to continue shooting simple and easy-to-make money 'pseudo-documentary' films to come to freedom.

In addition ~www.readwn.com~ the most important point is.

He really wasn't interested in the movie "Green Lantern".

...

"Congratulations, Zhao."

Beverly Hills, at the party.

Ron Mayer congratulated Zhao Yuan, the owner of the party, holding a wine glass.

"thanks."

With a light touch of the wine glass, Ron Mayer turned his head to look at the spacious yard of Zhao Yuan's new home and the lively pool party not far away. Even as the vice president of Universal, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

Beverly Hills is a symbol of wealth in Hollywood.

Although he is the vice president of Universal, this does not mean that he has enough wealth to live here.

After all, the price of tens of millions is not easily available even for Hollywood executives.
