Chapter 401

Mark needs to give eon a blow. Now mm is not MGM in the past. 007 is not their only cash cow or lifeblood. MGM will not be as respectful and obedient to them as before.

As the publisher of 007 series, they have the confidence to say no. as for the change of angle, it's Mark's face. He still uses it in Hollywood?

Mark called David Lee and said, "guys, come out for a drink?"

I can feel David Lee's depression over the phone: "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

This is his true sense of picking the beam alone, and the result was a great blow to him.

Mark said, "come and have a drink! EVA will come too!" and hung up the phone.

The place where they meet is a private club with membership system. The secrecy is quite good. They can rest assured to play here.

Both green and David Lee are not in high spirits. In particular, green has the huge attack of the kingdom of heaven and the bad start of 007 Casino Royale. The name of box office poison will be put on her at any time.

Actor is a job with high income and decent scenery. It can be said that there is a threshold or no threshold. If you can't drive the box office, no matter how beautiful your life is and how good your acting skills are, there won't be a film company. Green's snake and scorpion beauty face has collapsed and become a bitter gourd face.

Mark said: "you don't have to worry about the box office. According to the latest statistics, Casino Royale broke 100 million in its overseas first week."

As the first round of screening, Warner Bros. animated film "Happy Feet" made a box office success of US $42.32 million, surpassing the new 007 series film "Casino Royale" with a revenue of US $40.6 million, becoming the champion of the box office list of beimi last week. The domestic media of beimi understood this as the failure of new James Bond.

However, according to the statistics of MM company, Casino Royale recorded another US $3.85 million in the United States on Monday, while happy feet earned 3.1 million on the same day. The box office of the two is quite close. According to the analysis of Ma sko, the mainland publicity manager of MM company, happy feet is facing the family market and has a high box office at the weekend, which is very understandable; Casino Royale is a restricted PG-13 (children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by their parents), which has a lot less theoretical audience: "007 has fewer screens in the first round than happy feet. Our statistics show that 007 has the highest output per screen last week."

In addition, Casino Royale's revenue has exceeded 100 million in all 32 markets, accounting for 43.9% of the total box office in these markets. MM's internal analysis believes that 007's new film will win two-thirds of the total global box office revenue in the next few weeks. Four years ago, "die another day" set a 007 film box office record with a cumulative global box office revenue of 270 million US dollars. Now it is 77% higher than Casino Royale in the same period, which is likely to create a new record. In order to achieve this goal, Columbia Samsung has decided to launch Casino Royale in other major European film markets this weekend, such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.

Although Casino Royale had a poor box office in the first week and did not win the championship successfully, this 007 film is not a box office explosion film, but depends on beer. It can make profits through long-term screening. They estimate that its final house is between 150 million and 170 million, and about 300 million overseas. This data is consistent with the original version. As a restart film, It is qualified. Mark won't share these core data with eon, but he might as well share them with green and David Lee.

Hearing the data analyzed by mark, green and David Lee relaxed. With such achievements, they can relax.

Mark said to David Lee, "I know Brockley is unhappy with you, but you don't have to take it seriously. Unless 007 doesn't shoot, it's impossible to change the corner. I want you to play until you vomit."

David Lee smiled happily. He touched the glass with mark and said, "I'll play until you don't want to shoot!"

Green lost no time in saying, "what about me?"

The iron bond, the flowing Bond girl, her role as a bond girl is one-off. Mark said, "are you afraid there's no play to shoot? I'll pay attention to it for you."

Green's appearance and temperament, a natural evil villain, is quite against playing a good man, but mark doesn't want her to play uterus, crack and Sin City 2

The rise of Spartan 2 empire is a role dominated by Golub, because mark doesn't want this beautiful body to be appreciated by other men anymore. This beautiful and dangerous beauty is his flesh.

Green smiled and said, "don't forget me!"

Mark said, "of course!"

As mark expected, Casino Royale's box office in the next week exceeded that of happy feet by 3 million and won the championship of the week. The box office of both sides was flat, while overseas sang all the way. It won 110 million in the next week and 200 million in the overseas box office market, far exceeding that of happy feet. 007's global appeal is still strong.

This year's animated film market is highly competitive. Twelve animated films have been released. Since Pixar's "car story" has been brilliant, no matter how a large group of animals cry out in "outside the fence", "wash away the little mouse", "monster house" and "crazy farm", they can't beat the "face car", but "happy big feet" should be "car story" The biggest competitor, first of all, there are few cartoons with penguins as the protagonist, and they are the only one this year. Since the emperor penguin diary moved countless people, emperor penguins are not only the most popular among Penguin varieties, but also cover old faces such as deformed cows and simple and honest bears.

However, because the competition is too competitive and there are too many choices, happy feet is released in the off-season, and there are strong films such as 007 in the same period. It is difficult to have an impact on auto story, just as Warner's animation company can't threaten Pixar's situation.

Mark's film "Twilight" was shot before the release of Casino Royale and has been transferred to post production. After completing the initial cutting, he handed over the post work to Catherine and prepared "no country for old people".

The actors and actresses entered the publicity tour. They began to publicize all over the country. This is a film released on Valentine's day. It is also a big production. It is a short time to publicize three months in advance.

Mark cut the trailer. The picture is as beautiful as the mountains of fairyland. Vampires are running away quickly. Edward holds Bella to enjoy the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers; The baseball game on the grass and the battle of life and death between Edward and James in the ballet classroom are very beautiful. Every picture has a click through rate of 3 million on the day it is uploaded to Youtube.

After doing this, mark is finished. He will never run around the country with these boys and girls. He will go to the newspaper and TV to promote the film. This is what the stars do. The audience mainly wants to see handsome men and women and see the male and female protagonists. As long as they know that the film is adapted from Mark's novel and made by Mark himself.

Mark is the lucky boy in the eyes of cinema operators. He is the guarantee of the box office. He often launches works to save the market in difficult times. As long as it is made by mark, he can get an ultra-high film arrangement rate. Moreover, as a great director, mark runs to make chick movies. What else to hesitate about? The highest film arrangement rate is right.

As for publicity and promotion, a professional team will be responsible, which is not forced by mark. He does not do as well as any of his supervisors. They either graduate from a professional media college or have several years of work experience. Mark may be able to give some ideas, but when it comes to specific implementation and operation, he is blind. He is an invincible person who is hard-working and powerless, So you are born to be the boss. If you have anything to do, just ask others to do it.

As the chairman of a large company, he can't do everything himself. He's afraid he's tired to death. Therefore, it's never wrong to leave professional things to professional people.

Mark is making every effort to prepare his new work no country for old people, and he has completed the script. He condenses the whole story into a tense and concise script with dramatic structure, focusing on black humor and intertwined human secrets. The protagonist Llewellyn moss appears in the wrong place at the wrong time, Tens of millions of dollars were found from a failed drug trading scene, and then two men with completely opposite relationships followed him: one is the chilling abnormal killer Anton; The other is the abstruse Sheriff Bell in the town

In an interview with the National Enquirer, Mark said: "This film is likely to bring me to a new film field. There are a lot of humorous elements in the original work, although not enough for you to call it a comic novel. Of course, the story itself is very dark, violent and bloody, so this may be the most violent work I have ever made. In this regard, I hope the film can truly Feedback the characteristics of the original novel. "

The reporter asked Mark: "the films you made before were all big selling works with a strong commercial atmosphere. No country for old people belongs to the type of literary works. Are you confident in making master McCarthy's works?"

Mark said: "before getting the right of adaptation, I had the honor to visit master McCarthy. We had an in-depth discussion on this work. The central content of no country for old people contains some of the most provocative topics McCarthy has always been concerned about. Moreover, we had an agreement that if the film was not good, he could withdraw the right of adaptation at any time as long as he thought it was bad."

The reporter said, "this is equivalent to you taking tens of millions of dollars to do experiments. Are you not afraid that it will drift away at any time? If the film is made well and Mr. McCarthy doesn't like it, will you change it?"

Mark said, "so we asked him to review the script first, and he approved us before shooting!"
