~： Two hundred and twelve - 1 piece of hymn

"Hollywood Draw(!

"It's been sent to Wayne, boss."

John Gray pushed the door into the CEO's office, pulled out his chair and sat across from the large desk, talking to Jeff Robinoff, who also held statistics.

"Around $5.9 million!" Jeff Robinoff shook his fist excitedly. "This result has exceeded my expectations. In our own survey feedback, the positive rate exceeds 84%, which is enough for a horror film!"

This year, the films produced and distributed by Warner Bros. are rare all fall into the sand during the summer vacation. Jeff Robinoff, who has just taken office, is under great pressure and urgently needs convincing revenue performance.

Now this film is at least guaranteed at the box office, so it seems that Wayne Greenberg's film is the safest.

"Remember to call Wayne to congratulate him tomorrow morning. It's late. Go back and rest." Jeff Robinoff got up and put on his coat, ready to go downstairs with John.

"No problem, I'll call him as soon as I go to work." John nodded, and the two left the office together.

The main reason why the two have survived until now is to wait for the first-hand data, especially Jeff Robinoff. The company's performance declined in the first year of his tenure. Now he only cares about "The Clown's Soul". Box office results.

The company has never been monolithic, and there have been many criticisms against him. But as long as the film's box office is good enough, after this year, his life will be much better.

The best way to break the criticism is always the revenue figures. The two masterpieces that will definitely be released next year are "Detective Plane 2" and "Batman". He has very high expectations for these two films.

There have been rumors about him in the company that he can successfully take over the CEO position, only because he initiated and promoted the two projects "Joker" and "Goose Pond Assassination Order", and changed people and Wayne Greenberg. Maintain close cooperation, it is really not sure who the CEO is.

However, some aspects of this statement are true. After Kevin Tesuhara was determined to leave office, only Jeff Robinoff's performance was the most outstanding, and the projects he promoted successively were all very successful. Of course his promotion will not set the bar.

Looking at the brightly lit Los Angeles outside the car, he remembered the scene when he pushed "Get Out", and then launched two consecutive projects "Joker" and "Assassination in Goose Pond" the following year.

After that, someone concluded: If you want to be the CEO of Warner Bros., you just need to hug Wayne Greenberg tightly. Of course, this sentence is not wrong.

In the past two years, with the revenue of Wayne Films, the total proportion of Warner Bros.' performance has been increasing, and there have been more and more voices in the board of directors urging him to negotiate with him to become a shareholder in the company, so that he can initiate the system of the project by himself. The filmmakers and directors must be tied to the Warner Bros. chariot as soon as possible.

For a media group like Warner Bros., a successful film, through the operation of their complete upstream and downstream channels all over the world, can generate revenue figures that are far from the box office profits that can be compared.

But the first thing to watch for a film is the box office. Only when the box office number is high enough can it make more profits in the subsequent various offline operations.

Just like Wayne's "Joker", don't look at the terrifying global box office, in fact, this part of the profit share does not account for 20% of the total revenue of the film, which is why Warner Bros. attaches great importance to him. reason.

And this is only a short-term gain. The production company that holds the copyright of the film will still create value after 20 or 30 years. This situation is normal.

"Perhaps, we can prepare a celebratory party for him in advance..." Jeff Robinoff muttered softly.

Early on Friday morning, Jimmy walked into CAA with a smile on his face. There were more agents who greeted him warmly along the way, and even some colleagues who were not usually named nodded to him like acquaintances.

After returning to the office, thinking of his suddenly enthusiastic colleague, he chuckled and shook his head. This is not the first time this has happened. Whenever Wayne's film is released, he will always receive more outwardly enthusiastic but jealous eyes.

"Clang, clang."

"Please come in!"

"Hi, Jimmy." Stan, who is also an agent, pushed the door and walked in. He was familiar with Jimmy, and the two walked out of the mail room together.

Stan sat directly opposite Jimmy, handed him a cup of coffee, and said enviously:

"You're going to be busy again. I heard that Wayne's new film is very good at the box office. This must be the beginning of another box office explosion."

This can be considered a happy trouble. As the largest brokerage company in the industry, CAA has a lot of news that Jimmy himself does not know, but others have already gotten the news.

"Thank you, but who can say for sure about the box office?"

After taking the coffee, Jimmy smiled and shrugged. In fact, he really didn't know the box office last night. Anyway, I will definitely rush to the manor to see Wayne in a while, and he must have first-hand statistics from Warner Bros.

"Hey, forget it man, you're so lucky to have a director client like that." There was no jealousy in Stan's eyes, which was the main reason the two of them had a good relationship.

Throwing the newspaper he brought on the desk, Stan stood up with a smile and said, "I have something else, I just came to congratulate you, and another big bonus will be recorded. If Wayne's new film needs a small amount Actor, remember to contact me."

After speaking, he turned around, waved his hand, and left the office.

Originally, Jimmy's biggest ideal was to have his own office on the second floor of CAA, which represented his status among brokers.

But things are different now. With the continuous success of his clients, his status in the circle is getting higher and higher, and there is gradually a voice in the company that makes him a partner.

According to Jimmy's own knowledge, as long as Wayne's new film can be successful as always, his hopes of becoming a partner will also greatly increase. This is the best time to change from a wage earner to a boss.

However, as far as the box office is concerned, he has great confidence in his clients, which is the confidence he has accumulated from his uninterrupted success.

He picked up the Los Angeles Times that Stan brought, and looked at the latest reports in the entertainment section.

""The Clown's Soul" is undoubtedly a very good horror film, but it is different from traditional horror films, whether it is the fullness of the plot, or the arrangement of the horror elements in it, the problems about growth shown in the film are all Arguably a milestone in the horror genre, Wayne Greenberg managed to define..."

Jimmy took his eyes back from the media touts and turned to the film critics column.

"The fear of invading the marrow!

Before watching the movie, you will not imagine how scary the movie is. In fact, in the movie, in addition to the weird and evil clown, the things that every child fears are often embodied.

Whether it's the crooked woman that Stanley faced, the headless man that Ben was afraid of, the rotten-faced zombie Eddie saw, the massive amount of blood that drowned Beverly, or the younger brother George that Brother Bill never forgets, you'll see everyone Finally found that these are the most painful and darkest secrets hidden in everyone's heart, and those fears will eventually become your fears!

Freud believed that human nature itself is mixed with desire and controlled by it, and childhood is the most critical time period for shaping nature. In this movie, children spend their childhood in a nightmare of fear and mature ignorantly. This is a movie that belongs to children, but it also belongs to the teenage memories of every movie fan.

In addition to the large-scale horror and treacherous scenes, there are many beautiful interludes in the film. This is probably what Wayne Greenberg wants to do. It must be admitted that this "Joker's Soul" will definitely be a horror film. milestone!

----Kenneth Turan"

Seeing this Jimmy grinned and dropped the newspaper, picked up the car keys and walked out of the office, before driving to the client's house, he bought more newspapers from the newsstand at the door of the company.

"A horror film with such a positive atmosphere, traditional horror films are trying to make you more afraid, but "The Clown" is telling you how to face fear. Under the ingenious design of Wayne Greenberg, Show the children's inner fears step by step, and then help them overcome their fears step by step, the core of the story...----"The Hollywood Reporter""

Although today is the first day of the film's release, major media and film critics can't wait to sing praises. From news reports to related entertainment comments, it is basically a one-sided show of propaganda.

Whether it's because of Warner Bros.'s announcement, or for some other reason, Jimmy feels that his client's excessive work will at least not be too bad at the box office.

With a cheerful whistle, he drove the car all the way to Beverly Hills until he parked in the manor, not forgetting to take all the newspapers and magazines he had just bought into the living room.

"Shh."

Before he could say hello, the assistant pointed to Wayne who was answering the phone. Jimmy eased his steps, put the things he brought on the coffee table, and sat opposite his client.

"...Of course, no problem! Today's box office statistics are in, you can fax me directly, okay."

Wayne put down the phone in his hand raised his hand and squeezed his temples. Since the beginning of the morning, there have been several calls of congratulations in advance. This is his first film that has opened for advance screening. , but there are obviously many people staring at him.

"Jimmy." Skilled in lighting a cigarette, Wayne took a long breath and said, "When you go back to Burbank, help me go to Warner Bros. and make an appointment with Thomas from the distribution department, um, just This Monday."

"Okay, no problem." The agent nodded, then pointed to a pile of newspapers and magazines, and said happily, "Want to see it? Almost all the major media praised the film."

"Forget it, Jimmy, the weekend box office is what I care most about." Wayne shook his head. He didn't have to participate in the promotion this time, and he found it uncomfortable to wait for news at home.
