494 Desperate

Although Tracey was still in a very ‘excited’ state at this time, her emotions had calmed down, and she began to try to calmly think about countermeasures.

In fact, as Martin said, the best way is to start with yourself. As long as you can continue to launch excellent works, then the sphere of power in Hollywood will continue to expand, and then seek opportunities, as long as Hugo slack off once, it is Tracy* It's time for ***.

In Hollywood, this is the case, personal attacks, news hype, rumors... all these methods are inferior to the work itself, Warren Beatty (y)'s romanticism becomes'sex', Sean Penn's violent tendency, Wu Di Allen’s unruly and unruly, Marlon Brando’s hot temper, Vivien-Lee’s madness... These shortcomings are all tolerated because of their talents blooming in their respective works, and people ignore them. Whether a "person" is pleasing or not, pay more attention to the light they shine in the work.

Therefore, what depends on one's Hollywood future and status are always works, and always has been. If you fail this time, you can make a comeback next time; if you succeed this time, it doesn't mean you can copy again next time.

But Tracey didn’t want to wait. She didn’t even want to wait for a moment. She had already missed the opportunity to hit Hugo three times before and after "Scenting the Fragrance to Meet the "Female", "Yihai Xiongfeng", and "Sleepless in Seattle". All three works were leaked to Hugo through her fingers, and Hugo was successful. Now, she won't give Hugo any more chances! So, now is this moment, the time to bet!

So, where should the confrontation between the two works start? In fact, it's very simple. The quality of the work itself is the first step, then the film review, then the box office, and finally the crew rumors. This is the general direction.

They have missed the first step, and now they have missed the second step, leaving them less and less space. First of all, "Farewell You Qingtian" and "Schindler's List" are both excellent works. There is no doubt that the quality of the works themselves are very high. This has also been recognized by film critics. Then, the next confrontation must not be To find a breakthrough from the work itself, it can only be the box office and crew.

How attractive the "Schindler's List" is at the box office is unknown, but there is not much room left for Tracy and the others to gamble. Steven Spielberg plus Hugo Lan Coupled with the reputation of Kester, it is difficult for them to make pessimistic predictions on the box office prospects.

At present, the first batch of comments did not predict the box office, but the attitude of the insiders has obviously gradually become clear. The box office of "Schindler's List" should be a positive trend.

"What do you think the box office of this movie will be?" Tracy pointed to the blurry "Los Angeles Times" on the desktop. You can still see the "Schindler's List" vaguely. Poster picture.

Brad sat next to the sofa and didn't speak. He is an actor. He has no experience or knowledge about box office predictions. It is naturally difficult for him to make judgments. In fact, box office forecasts are very professional. Only professionals can make speculations after a series of data calculations. However, brokers and producers who have been in the circle for many years will also have a certain ability to speculate.

Martin thought about it a little bit, "Before, the "Entertainment Weekly" predicted 20,000. Looking at the current evaluation, it may be possible to mention another 3,000." Although "Schindler's list" is currently praised by the sky, it is because it is one. This is a very serious and heavy film, and the main audience will be Jewish. This is a factor that restricts the film’s single-library box office performance during the screening period. Therefore, Martin's prediction has been very bold.

Tracy thought about it carefully. The single-library box office of $23,000 is not excellent, but considering factors such as politics, military affairs, racial discrimination, and the weakness of Jews in the United States, this data is already very rare, and it is more in line with her heart. Thought, "How many theaters are Global Spotlight Cinemas? Twenty-five? I remember this number."

"That's right." Martin nodded in affirmation, then lowered his head to calculate with paper money on the coffee table. "Then the box office at the premiere weekend should be around 575,000 US dollars."

"Our box office last week was...1.7 million, right?" Tracey recalled carefully, "Farewell to You Tian" last week and got a weekend box office of $1.7 million in 200 theaters. , This data is really bleak, the prospects are not good, "What is the scale of our expansion this week?"

"Five hundred and twenty." Martin knew that Tracy must be able to make a big fuss at the box office, although the expansion of "Farewell You Qingtian" is more than 500, and "Schindler's List" Just screening at 25 theaters, this is not a scale screening at all. "Farewell You Qingtian" box office is more than "Schindler's list" is a matter of course, but Tracy is definitely hope To be able to get more beautiful results at the box office of a single library, and to depress the morale of "Schindler's List", but... "What are you going to do?"

Box office is the most uncontrollable part of a film company. What a film company can do is to formulate a distribution strategy and a publicity strategy, and then implement it thoroughly. The rest can only be'handed over' to the market. But like Tracy, who tried to stimulate the box office during the film's release process, apart from publicity and hype, there was not much that the producer could do.

Tracy did not answer immediately, but bit her lower'lip' tightly, until the'lip' flap completely lost its'color' color, and then it was released, as if she had made up her mind. He said, "I want to buy the box office!"

Both Martin and Brad were stunned. To be precise, they were frightened by Tracy's madness, once again.

Every industry has inside story, and inside story is naturally also in every aspect. For example, in the record industry, record companies buy a large number of albums to increase sales for singers; for example, record companies invite a large number of audiences to join the singer’s signing event... These are all very normal. As long as the company has the financial resources, Then with this confidence, it can be done. To put it simply, it means burning money and fetching data.

The same is true for the film industry. In order to make the premiere look more lively, it is not uncommon for extras to be paid to invite extras to come to the scene to cheer and shout; and it’s not uncommon for a film company to pay for movie tickets and use this method to squeeze the box office. Shocking things have happened before. Movie box office was very'spicy', but when you walked into the movie theater and found no audience, this kind of embarrassment shows that the movie company itself is scoring the box office.

However, this kind of box office sales is too expensive, and there are fewer and fewer rich people willing to be taken advantage of. In addition, the industry control is becoming more and more strict, so it has gradually disappeared. Of course, there are still people who scan the box office secretly in a small area to make the box office data of the movie look more ‘colorful’, but the scale of the data is much more convergent than before, and the methods are much more concealed.

Now, in order to be able to let "Farewell You Tian" defeat "Schindler's List", Tracy actually plans to make a box office, which is simply crazy. You know, Tracy is a producer, not a consortium. She has no countless banknotes to spend, and now the film industry has been regulated. The more stringent the box office is, the more stringent it is, things are not that way. Simple.

"Uh..." Even Martin, who had seen countless big scenes, was speechless at this time.

Tracy didn’t notice this strangeness at all. Instead, the plan was quickly completed, “Relax, I’m not so stupid to let the union find out the strangeness. This week, I will spend half a million dollars first, which is enough for them. That's it."

Since "Farewell You Tian" this week was screened in 520 theaters, if the box office of half a million dollars was used, it would be equivalent to raising the box office of a single library by one hundred dollars. This action is not a big one, and it is not a big move for last week. Single-library box office is only 9,000 U.S. dollars, and single-library box office rises by one hundred US dollars is already a very good figure.

Most importantly, the gap of $500,000 for the "Schindler's List" screened in only 25 theaters means that there is a gap of $2,000 to catch up at the box office of a single library.

Seeing the confident Tracey, Martin swallowed the persuasion from his mouth abruptly. He knew that Tracey had lost his mind, and his persuasion would have no effect. On the contrary, it might'irritate' her. So he could only say, "Can you get sponsorship?"

"No, I rely on my savings." Tracey smiled lightly. In order to snipe Hugo, she will do whatever it takes! This made Martin and Brad shudder.

"In addition, haven't the conflicts between Hugo and Joseph been circulating in the circle recently? What is going on?" Tracy obviously does not want to stop here~www.readwn.com~ She also wants to do it from negative news The article, undermining Hugo’s box office appeal, or weakening the success that Hugo can achieve with this movie.

Martin waved his hand emptily, trying to hide his embarrassment in this way, "Uh, Lang, Lang wants to sign Hugo under his banner, you know, the competition within the International Innovation Management Company." This is already public in the industry. It's a secret, now many people are going down the road, trying to grab the artists of the international innovation management company. So Martin knew it all too well.

"Very well, I think we can take advantage of it." Tracy won't let go of any chance, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Brad who hadn't said a word next to her, "Do you have any news?"

Brad didn't have time to react. He just glanced at Martin subconsciously. Martin shook his head slightly and motioned Brad not to speak, but Brad could not help but said, "I heard that Hugo drank in the crew. Lots of wine?"

"Drinking, you mean?" Tracey vaguely saw this detail herself, but she didn't remember, she nodded slightly, "This is an entry point." Tracey's face showed a win-winner smile. , The craziness disappeared on the face, hidden deep in my heart, but those silent eyes revealed more craziness, "Hugo Lancaster, are you ready? ?"
