Chapter 715： overflowing male hormones

Lyman didn't know that the strong men in "Sparta" were so attractive to lecherous women, and even if he knew, he might have laughed off it.

After all, what better visual representation of male hormones than hard-working muscle groups?

And while the movie was still in the publicity stage, "Deadly Magic" was drawn one after another.

Nearly two months of show time have already squeezed 99% of the market potential, and the rest is nothing more than a little cheap for theaters in remote areas, and they have to hold on for a while.

Because the longer the screening period is, the more the ratio of the theater chain and the producer will be closer to the theater side, and Jiuyikai (Cinema 9) is very reasonable.

In some areas, the viewing base is too poor, and they can only barely make a profit by relying on the ultra-low share of old movies.

After all, the screening potential of new films is not known to be much higher than that of old films, and most theaters will not put more profitable money without making them.

When entering the next drawing stage, the matters related to the division of accounts also need to be carefully calculated.

For example, the North American box office of "Deadly Magic" has accumulated a total of 32.42 million overseas, with a total of 111.943 million US dollars.

In addition to the 31.8 million in North American theaters, the North American revenue is still 47.72 million; overseas, Fox's distribution takes 16.21 million in theaters, leaving 9.726 million US dollars.

The total revenue of Firefly is deducted from the production expenditure of 40 million, the publicity expenditure of 13 million, the increase of advertising placement by 9 million, the copy loss and other labor costs of 8 million, and the share of Nolan Studio's 14.3 million. If you only count the box office In profit, Firefly lost 8.86 million.

However, this is the data of the general revenue of the film.

Most studios rely on offline returns plus profits, and it is not normal to be able to recover the cost at the box office all the time.

With a three-year cycle, the basic profit range of the "Fatal Magic" project is still around 27 million to 32 million.

The same is true. Before the cost was recovered, Firefly gave out more than 3 million points to the behind-the-scenes shooting team.

The day when the rewards were issued was also the celebration feast of "Deadly Magic".

In the hotel garden.

Lehmann picked up the glass and said a few polite words, "...Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in the celebration banquet of "Deadly Magic"... "Deadly Magic" can have a box office of 111.94 million is the director Nolan and every production crew worked so hard to shoot, and the same goes for the actors and actresses…”

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy.

In addition to the extra invited guests, the smiles on the faces of the crew members who came to the banquet were extremely bright.

If you think about it with your toes, you will know that they not only get affordable salaries, but also have such qualifications and achievements, which are also very beneficial to the development of their careers.

Fame usually seems to have little practical value, but if it does, it will give you more opportunities to choose, and it will be easier to do anything.

......

In the corner, after dealing with some communication, Lehman immediately found the person he should be looking for.

Casting for The Dark Knight has been going on for a while, and it's time for him to decide on the Joker.

As for who the candidates are, of course, there is no need to think too much.

"Ha, what are you doing here?"

"nothing."

Heath Ledger shook his head slightly, and touched Lyman with a glass of wine, "Oh, yes, congratulations on the film that has achieved good results.

He was invited here, but after all these years, the two have become very familiar with each other.

"Have you been in a play recently?"

"no."

Heath Ledger shook his head, looking casual.

"Then you can spare the schedule for the first half of next year. I have a drama here that is suitable for you."

"Can you know what character it is?"

"Batman, Joker."

Heath Ledger was taken aback. To say that the most hot news in the circle recently is the preparation for the sequel to "Batman".

Such a masterpiece shot, I don't know how many people's attention has been attracted. I never imagined that a controversial role similar to the clown would fall on him so easily.

It's going to be fun, though.

Many people commented that he was a "prodigal son", and he did have such a mentality.

Even because of the experience, it was difficult to break free after taking the role.

This is why he always falls in love with someone while acting, and then breaks up quickly after the show.

People like him are not suitable for starting a family, but he is an excellent actor who can play a role.

"To be honest, I haven't read much of the Batman comics."

"Then you should take a look..."

"OK, I will."

After a few simple chats, Heath Ledger suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you have time the day after tomorrow?"

"What, is something wrong?"

"There is a party, and someone asked me to invite you to attend."

"What party?"

"It's more private, Mr. Gibson."

......

After saying this, someone got entangled with Lyman again, and he had to devote himself to socializing.

However, Heath Ledger's invitation still made him a little guessing.

You know, this Australian-born actor is the most successful director in transition.

In the period of actor, he was the only top celebrity who received "20+20" salary in the 1980s and 1990s.

When he became a director, he always achieved results, and his momentum did not fall.

Not to mention, this guy is very geographical and affectionate. Now that Hollywood has a large number of Australian actors, it has nothing to do with him pushing behind his back.

Mel - Gibson even set up a special actor foundation, specifically to support Australian actors to come to Hollywood.

For example, Naomi Watts was driven out by her landlord because she had no chance to act, and he was the one who helped; Heath Ledger also starred in the first big play "Patriot", and then told the director Some good words; even Jodie Foster turned into a director, and he was still there for free, behind-the-scenes coaching...

In Hollywood, where interests prevail, there are absolutely not many such people.

However, this man of righteousness has been in trouble recently.

In fact, he has been boycotted by the mainstream forces in the circle. According to his own words, "My life is over."

The reason for the end has to start with a "Passion of Jesus" directed by him in 2004.

This film, which encountered many obstacles and incomparable controversy from project approval, investment, and distribution, finally achieved great success.

But behind the success, the Jewish people were angered.

As we all know, the Bible is also divided into the New Testament and the Old Testament.

Jews generally believe in the Old Testament, but "The Passion of the Christ" is a Catholic who expresses his own beliefs from a doctrinal standpoint. So, what's wrong?

However, the right or wrong decision, or public opinion, is controlled by the Jewish ethnic group.

Moreover, the generation of Hollywood Jewish faces represented by Spielberg, they have no real pain in the Holocaust and no psychological identification with the Restoration Movement, but the cohesion caused by 'anti-Semitism' is enough to make them share the same hatred, and they also inherited the previous generation. After Hungarian and Polish Jews immigrated to the United States, they quickly assimilated into American culture to create the pragmatic spirit of Hollywood.

Therefore, it is up to everyone whether to shoot or not to have sympathy for Israel, but people who are anti-Semitic should be prepared to be blocked and black materials will fly all over the sky.

This kind of targeting and exclusion will last for two years.

Finally, under long-term pressure, Mel Gibson uttered wild words during a drunk driving, claiming that all unjust wars in the world have Jewish shadows, and provocatively said to the police, "Are you Jewish?"

This happened in September of this year.

But the high-level police officers at the time thought that such a sensitive statement from a drunk person was not worthy of causing a bigger disturbance, so they concealed it artificially.

Then a few days later, the media came out...

Even the "South Park" animation program group, which has always satirized Jews, said that Mel-Gibson went too far. It is conceivable that the "mainstream" remarks are not good for this guy.

Sure enough, a generation of superstars basically relied on leaving the mainstream film circle, which is equivalent to retirement.

After all, there are countless Jews in the management of the five major studios, and Disney's new executive Robert Iger is also in Jewish circles - somewhat ironically, Disney founder Walt Disney was accused of being a platoon after his death. Jews and racists.

Moreover, only a small part of the Disney family's property is still in their hands. By now, even the management rights have been invaded.

That's why when Robert Iger came to power, he kept making big and small movements without causing trouble. Who made the backstage hard...
