Chapter 979

Mia koshner arrived at danelis studios in Malibu half an hour ahead of the 10 a.m. production meeting of "soul shifting girl".

With "Little Women" nominated for Best Actress Oscar, and now has "guillotine" such a blockbuster, Mia koshner has become one of Hollywood's fastest-growing new stars, and until now, the girl is only 21 years old.

Many 21-year-old actresses may still be in Hollywood, waiting for a chance to run the Dragon suit.

Mia koshner, who was born as a child star, can realize the value of her career.

She took Shirley, the maid of the Uygur family who had been equipped for her, to the office building No. 3 of the administrative district. No one else had arrived yet. The reception staff was even surprised that the biggest actress in "soul shifting girl" could arrive ahead of time, but MIA couldn't tell some of her own caution.

They are waiting in a rest room for a while. Shirley, the waitress, makes a phone call and goes out. After a while, she shakes her head in Mia's expectant eyes and says, "it's said over there that Mr. westrow is attending a meeting and only replies will help us mention it."

Mia's eyes suddenly showed a disappointed expression, a little resentment.

I came to danielis studios in advance, of course, because I wanted to meet him, but I couldn't.

In any case, Mia will not reveal to others that she and he have not had sex up to now. Therefore, we all take it for granted that she is one of his many lovers. In fact, it is not worthy of the name.

Entering this circle, Mia grew up and was beautiful. Along the way, Mia also encountered a lot of entanglement. After meeting him, all these covets disappeared. It was a miracle that she could live like a princess in Hollywood. Therefore, deep in her heart, Mia was more attached to the man who could count the number of times she had met with one hand than her father It's a very good feeling.

A sense of security.

Men have no time to see themselves, Mia lost for a while, waiting for Shirley to bring him a cup of coffee, also handed over a copy of today's latest "Hollywood Reporter" magazine, finally picked up some spirit.

This reminds me that today is Friday.

From July 4 to July 11, an eight day Independence Day holiday box office week ended yesterday.

Today's Hollywood Reporter lists the past eight days as a separate box office week, mainly because last week's three major new films were released one day earlier on Thursday, July 4, rather than Friday. Therefore, the data of this week overlaps with the previous box office week.

In any case, the key is the box office.

In the face of the sniping of the three new films "Birdcage", "brave island" and "mirage", in the past eight days, "Brokeback Valley" still won the first place in the box office of a single week, earning $46.73 million in eight days. If you subtract the $9.22 million on July 4, the next week's seven-day revenue was $37.51 million, a year-on-year decrease of only 27%.

Within two weeks of its release, Tim Burton's well-known fantasy horror movie quickly grossed $88.9 million.

This momentum has far exceeded the original air "guillotine" local total box office just over 100 million related data.

The second place is still occupied by 007 ghost party instead of last week's new films.

In the fourth week, the box office revenue of "007 ghost party" was $35.62 million in the previous eight days, minus $8.19 million on July 4, and $27.43 million in the past seven days. It was also due to the sharp increase in the number of viewers during the Independence Day holiday, with a box office decline of only 29%.

Nearly a month after the opening of the film, the cumulative box office of "007 ghost party" officially broke through the $200 million mark, reaching $211.42 million.

Last week's July 4 was the last heavyweight film opening week of the summer program in 1996. No matter "Birdcage" or "brave island" or "mirage", it was highly valued by the corresponding producers. Then, because the Atlanta Olympic Games is coming, there will be no other heavyweight films in this summer program.

In fact, it also means that no matter "guillotine" or "007's ghost party" or other films before, they can resist the impact of last three new films, and then they can harvest the box office relatively calmly

therefore, according to the box office volume of "007's ghost party" which can still maintain $27.42 million in seven days last week, plus the success of the local box office It is basically a matter of time before the US $200 million mark is broken and the estimated US $300 million is reached.

Even guillotine's domestic $150 million forecast has proved conservative because of the box office performance that exceeded expectations next week.

All this, in the final analysis, is because the box office of the three highly anticipated new films on July 4 is not satisfactory.

After the top two on the list, Disney's brave Island finally took the third place.

However, compared with the box office success of Michael Bay's version, this time, only Sean Connery was retained, and the other two creators, Michael Bay and Nicholas Cage, did not appear. They even lost the control of legendary Hollywood producer Jerry brookheimer. The comprehensive media score of the film after last week's opening was only meagre 6.1 points for a strong pass.As for Sean Connery's many colored eggs related to 007, which were deliberately buried in the film by the producers, they were also criticized by the film critics, with the suspicion of being popular.

After all, the real 007 ghost party is on.

As a result, the blockbuster bomb action blockbuster, which cost US $70 million to build, started on July 4, with only US $26.59 million in the first eight days of the week.

Of course, this achievement is not a failure, but it is also far lower than Disney's initial box office expectation of more than $40 million in the first week. After all, it is a blessing of the Independence Day holiday. In the first eight days of the week, Disney didn't even get $30 million, which is not a success in any case.

Moreover, if there is no competition between "guillotine" and "007 ghost party", depending on the long-term revenue in the future, "brave island" may be able to impact the 100 million yuan box office club. Now, the possibility is really slim, and the local box office is more likely to be between 70 million and 80 million US dollars.

With $30 million in publicity expenses, the budget scale of "brave island" and "guillotine" is just the same, both of which are $100 million. However, compared with the two-week cumulative box office of "guillotine" which reached 88.9 million US dollars, "brave island" will undoubtedly be a lot bleak.

The fourth place on the list was won by MGM's same-sex comedy bird cage.

In the first eight days of the week, the opening box office of bird cage was $23.91 million.

Compared with the production cost of $31 million and the box office of more than $20 million in the first week, this medium budget comedy is sure to be a success. However, compared with the original time and space in the ninth annual box office, the cumulative outstanding results of more than 100 million, in the face of a series of blockbuster squeeze, "Birdcage" this time is expected to 60 million U.S. dollars at the local box office, suddenly appears unsatisfactory.

After all, the capacity of the film market is limited. In the summer of 1996, the competition was not so fierce.

Last week's last new film, mirage, took fifth place on the list.

However, although Sony's $47 million comic adapted film took the fifth place, it was left behind in the box office after eight days of drawing. It didn't even enter the $10 million range. In the first week, it only made a pitiful $9.43 million at the box office, and once again became a box office dud of Sony Pictures.

After the success of DC movie universe, in recent years, many studios have tried to make movies with random changes, but they have all failed.

Sony just failed again.

After three new films last week and the latest week starting today, there is only one Eddie Murphy's "Professor fat" in the North American market.

In a word, "Professor fat man" used to be produced by universal pictures, and it also entered the top ten of the annual box office list. Even though the cost is a little high, it is still a big sale.

Because of his own production plan, Simon did not take over the film at the beginning, but personally handed it over to Fox pictures.

Despite the rapid rise of blockbuster movies in recent years, relying on the halo of the former "detective Beverly" series, Eddie Murphy is still a leading actor in Hollywood for a long time. As a result, the production budget of "fat professor" is as high as 54 million US dollars, which can be regarded as a blockbuster of fox's summer program.

It was released on July 12 for the sake of avoiding competition.

The initial budget of the film was $4000, which exceeded the budget by $14 million. It is said that Murdoch has a lot of complaints about this. After all, it is very obvious that with the budget of $54 million and the publicity of $20 million, unless there is a small miracle at the box office, even if the domestic market is only over $100 million, it is not easy for the film to recover its cost through cinema distribution.

After all, Eddie Murphy is black, and the box office appeal overseas is very unstable.

As a matter of fact, Simon did not transfer the project to MGM which is closer to him, but fox.

However, since it has been able to enter the top ten box office of the year, even if the times change and the same main creative lineup, the box office performance of this film should not be too bad, and it will not be too difficult for fox to make a small profit.

Mia koshner flipped through the box office data and other movie information on today's Hollywood Reporter, and the time came to 10 o'clock. The cast members of "soul shifting girl" came one after another, and everyone turned to a conference room next door to start today's film making meeting.

Simon gave only $20 million this time, compared with the $40 million production budget that was clearly out of control.

Because of her tendency to be a literary film, even with the Oscar nomination for best actress, "guillotine" has just exploded. Mia, the most valuable actress, only got $2 million this time. In addition, Angelina Jolie, although her performance in the audition stage was amazing, so that director James Mangold knew that the appearance of the actress was contrary to the taste of the boss He still insisted on using the other party, but this time he only gave us $100000.

Apart from the two female owners, because of the high quality of danielis Entertainment's films, the other roles that have joined in succession, even though they have a small reputation in Hollywood, basically only get the basic salary of the trade union.Everyone is just trying to show off. Who wants to make money from this art film that Simon westero is said to pay special attention to is really crazy.

James Mangold himself also has only $1.5 million for directing this time, which is a bit lower than MIA's. However, as a director, screenwriter and producer, James Mangold has also signed additional sharing terms. As long as the film is commercially successful, he can still make good profits later.

This is the first production meeting after the completion of the production team. Everyone introduced themselves to each other and talked about their understanding of the script and roles. Two hours passed quickly in the discussion, and it was already 12 o'clock at noon unconsciously.

After the meeting, the crowd began to disperse.

Mia has just got up, and two other girls have come together. It's not Angelina Jolie who is obviously a little out of group, but two supporting roles in the film, one is Brittany Murphy, and the other is Katie streland.

In the face of MIA, who had not met before, the two women were still a little flattering. Cady streland first said, "mia, do you have any other arrangements for lunch? How about having lunch together?"

She has been in this circle since she was very young. Of course, Mia knows the intention of the two women to approach her. In recent years, more than two of them have tried to do so.

Although she looks quiet, Mia is not that kind of person who likes to resist others. In private, she is very lively. She looks at the two girls quietly and confirms that they are not in line with a man's preference, so she smiles and nods: "well, I'm going to Venice Beach to eat seafood. Let's have a dinner together. Well, it's my treat."

Brittany Murphy, on the other side, saw Mia's promise and said, "how can this work? Of course, it's my treat and Caddy's treat."

With these words, the two women unconsciously gathered around mia, leading the girl to walk out without any trace, and no longer giving others a chance to chat up. Mia, as if unconscious, picked up her white Hermes bag, finally nodded goodbye to others, and walked out of the meeting room with the two women laughing.

Just go out, maid Shirley has been waiting outside, see MIA with two women, just slightly nodded, came forward: "MIA?"

Mia koshner was a little puzzled: "hmm?"

Shirley raised her hand and said to the other two women, "excuse me, can we have a few words alone?"

The other two women also know Shirley's identity. Compared with mia, they have more inexplicable awe. Of course, there is no problem, indicating that they will wait at the elevator entrance.

"It's like this," Shirley said, waiting for the two girls to walk away, and then taking MIA away from the door of the conference room where people kept walking out. "Let's go quickly. Mr. westrow said that he would have lunch with you. It's over there in the studio restaurant."

Originally, Mia, who had no hope today, heard the words, her eyes brightened, and subconsciously nodded her head. She thought of the two girls not far away and said, "I'll talk to them."

Shirley nodded.

Two people go to the elevator together, Mia is very sorry to find a reason for perfunctory, in a hurry with Shirley to leave.

Later, the two women, Brittany Murphy, came downstairs to see MIA. Instead of going to the parking lot, they went to the other direction of the administrative district. They soon understood what they had learned, but they could only envy each other.

This kind of thing, can't ask.

Hollywood doesn't know how many women want to win Simon westero's favor. Unfortunately, even if they want to meet the big man, their chances are slim.
