Golden Dawn entertainment group.
"Boss, this is from Mr. mcnick." Said Alexander.
Zhuke nodded, looked at the information, and immediately understood what old Bill thought.
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon is a foreign film for the United States, and it is also a foreign language film from the East. Naturally, crouching tiger, hidden dragon is in a weak position in the United States. Therefore, if you want to get a high box office, you can only take the Oscar route.
"Old bill is good enough!"
"I've been to 27 film festivals in a row. It's a rhythm without moral integrity at all," he said
In fact, it's not just that old bill is shameless enough. He has always been doing this for Oscar movies, but not as often as the crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon crew.
film:
"Parting ways" (Czechoslovakia);
Everyone is famous (Belgium);
Meet 100% coincidental love (France);
Love is a bitch (Mexico);
........
There are more than ten films competing for the best foreign language film in this year's Oscars. Basically, every film has been participating in various countries and regions all over the world to expand its influence.
"Boss, it seems that our budget for the best foreign language film of the year is definitely the largest." Alexander laughed.
That's right!
Just participating in 27 film festivals at home and abroad, Wald pictures has prepared us $10 million for publicity. In addition to the Oscar competition, Wald pictures is definitely a big deal.
"Parting ways", "everyone becoming famous", "meeting 100% coincidental love"
Who has invested so much in publicity?
No,
None of them!
Without big investment, where is the high return?!
Zhuke suddenly said: "next March's Oscar, in addition to the best foreign language film competition, Ang Lee, they don't want to win more awards?"
You know, in the history of the original time and space, "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" not only won the best foreign language film, but also won the best art direction, the best original score, the best photography, a total of four Oscar Awards, which made it famous at home and abroad.
"Eh?"
Alexander was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "for other awards of public relations, director Ang Lee and producer Jiang Zhiqiang have talked with Mr. mcnick about one point. They will pay an extra prize for public relations."
Zucker nodded.
The Oscars, to put it bluntly, are a commercial event.
You don't spend money on PR, and you want to win prizes?
Ha ha, silly people talk about dreams!
Many directors and production companies spend money on public relations for Oscars, not only because of those awards, but also because of the economic effect brought by the Oscars. It can really attract a lot of movie audiences.
Even there are many film companies in Hollywood, whose survival is based on the public relations Oscar Awards.
........
In the twinkling of an eye, a month passed.
Following the release of spider man in early August, Wald pictures has released two more films, namely fatal bend 3 and human clearance project 2.
As the third film in the series of fatal curve, fatal curve 3 was released in the United States in early October. The word-of-mouth of the sequel film inevitably declined, but... This kind of plasma film can still attract a lot of movie audiences.
"Oh, word of mouth
"I don't care."
"After watching the first and the second, I naturally don't want to miss the third."
A movie audience answered a reporter's question at the gate of the cinema.
Sequel Movie, as long as it's not particularly bad, it's absolutely profitable.
In nearly a month since its release, fatal curve 3 has reaped more than US $51 million worldwide. Compared with us $56 million in fatal curve 1 and US $64 million in fatal curve 2, it has undoubtedly dropped a lot at the box office.
So what?
"You know, the production cost of fatal bend 3 is only $3.5 million, and the publicity fund is no more than $7 million."
This kind of low-cost and high-efficiency horror movie is undoubtedly the favorite of the production company. It's a steady profit!
Many Hollywood film companies are envious.
But!
This year's Halloween schedule, Wald film has not been able to top the first!
"Meet my father-in-law", released on October 6, is a comedy film produced by Universal Pictures. It is unusual for it to be released as a comedy film on Halloween, successfully attracting a large number of movie audiences.
By October 31, in the United States alone, the movie "meet my father-in-law" had made $93 million at the box office.
"Seeing my father-in-law is a comedy that can be shown for a long time. The final box office in North America is more than $140 million, which is quite possible."ã Hollywood film weekly said in an article.
Halloween is a time when horror movies pile up, but it is dominated by a comedy movie, which makes many film companies blush.
Old Bill of Wald pictures also called Universal Pictures shameless.
"Ha ha ~"
But Zhuke was very happy. He said in secret, "it's this movie!"
"Father-in-law" is a typical American nonsense movie. The image of Robert Deniro's father in law is very outstanding. Even in the 2020, whether it was in the oil woodlouse of America or in the B station of the great heaven, there was a very high volume of play.
"If fatal bend 3 can't do meet my father-in-law, then add human clearance 2."
........
Human clearance 2, which was released at the end of October and on Halloween, made $29 million at the box office in three days over the first weekend.
With this achievement, he directly won the top of the box office of the North American film of that week.
But... Word of mouth is declining seriously!
More than two years after the release of human clearance program 1, its comprehensive score on major scoring websites is still 7.3.
Looking at horror movies, 7.3 is definitely a high reputation score.
But what about the reputation of human clearance 2?
Just three days after the show, the score fell below 6, only 5.8. With the passage of time, the final score is estimated to be 5.1 points. Thank God.
Undoubtedly, the overlord of this Halloween schedule is Universal Pictures' meet my father-in-law.
The two films launched by Wald pictures in a row, and they are also popular horror sequels, and they can't do it.
"That's the strength of Hollywood's big six!"
"Even if Universal Pictures has kept a low profile in the past two years, they can still dominate even in the Halloween season."
"Wald still has a long way to go!"
Zhuke's dream has been shattered by the cruel reality, but there are still many benefits. At least Zhuke and the whole golden dawn entertainment group can be more calm and practical.
"Two years!"
Zhuke admonished himself and reminded everyone, "two years! It will take two years for Wald film to settle down and further consolidate its foundation before it can expand again. "
The second watch of the book is delivered, and the author continues to open the code.
