Chapter 883： sweet

After entering February, the dominance of Museum 2 will decline faster and faster as time goes on, but overall the final box office placement will not be much worse, because the work will be released for three weeks and will be recorded overseas. 142 million, and the global box office is 268 million. It should be no problem to break through the 400 million mark, but the profit margin is not as high as expected.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

If Liam was to evaluate it, it was a sequel that clearly should have taken the popularity of the first one to the 500 million mark, and it wilted before it got up. starter

February 17, Tuesday morning.

Joseph, who was dealing with some administrative chores in the office, received a call, frowned, and reported a message to Lehmann about the delay in the production cycle of the museum series.

Wasn't it because the screening of the second film was not ideal? Liam suggested that it be refrigerated for a few years to slightly enhance the audience's freshness.

It was only when Lyman nodded in agreement that he realized that the execution was not so smooth.

After all, vested interests certainly don't want any out-of-control surprises for the series.

"The filming team, including director Jay Roger, starring Ben Stiller, and caa, expressed their dissatisfaction euphemistically. Lionsgate also felt that we thought too much, but respected our decision... Maybe, the second Is it just the plot that has yet to be sculpted?" Joseph asked a question after talking about the reactions of all parties.

"Although many media film critics and audiences say that the plot and parody of the second film are not as eye-catching as the first, is the gap between the two really big? I don't think the script is a problem, at least not that the sequel failed to meet expectations. the biggest sticking point.”

"They all feel that 400 million is already very good, and it's good to keep the status quo."

"Cut, it's just an appearance. Liam's analysis is right, this drama is that the audience market is experiencing aesthetic fatigue, and repeated themes and repeated backgrounds do not have too much conflict, or the pattern escalates, which will make people feel tired. Produces an unremarkable sense. Was the second part really bad? Not really, and…”

Lehman shook his head and said: "Some people, they just value the money this drama has brought him, and if they don't make it, they will lose a lot of income. Some people hope to use this drama to enhance their status and popularity.. ...but they are all thinking about themselves, so why don't they see that Firefly has encountered difficulties? If the third film is still released every two years, how can it be strong under this situation? It is nothing but a wedding dress for nothing."

As the publisher, Lionsgate has low risk and a stable profit; the main creative is a larger part of the shooting, and the salary can be negotiated in advance, and the money is put into the pocket while shooting. The impact is not great. Only Firefly, as an investor, has endured the most pressure. Now that the market is not right, what is the benefit of setting up a project?

Is it right to make a profit, and deserve to be unlucky if you lose?

Even if it is a bet, choose to bet decisively when the chances of winning are greater.

Lehman looked at Joseph and said frankly: "I know that doing this, especially when the first two parts of the series are profitable, will be criticized for not starting, but this is Hollywood, and any dissatisfaction must be suppressed. You just Replying to them like this, the museum has no possibility of setting up a project in 1989, let them make plans early, and there is no need to help coordinate the schedule...

Alright, let's not talk about this. There's a cocktail party tonight, and you're going to be there too. "

Joseph hesitated, but turned around and left.

Ryman knew that Joseph might want to say that the delay time is too long, and the influence on the market of the works will also decrease, but at this hurdle, he would rather make nothing than ruin the series.

In the original time and space, 20th Century Fox also felt a little bad. It took five years to launch Museum 3, but it also completely ruined the future of the series.

In Lehman's impression, Fox at that time was quite chaotic. Even if the main creators took a collective salary cut and felt that it was a success, it could not save any 127 million production budget and increased publicity. As a result, the worst score in the series was 320 million. , was 90 million worse than the first one, and lost money.

If you really want to calm the market, you have to learn from Warner, at least 8 years of freezing period, use time to warm up the good memories and play the emotional card.

......

The reception that Lehman and Joseph are going to is a party aimed at friendly exchanges. Strictly speaking, this is true. What seems a little special is that the grand commander will bring his wife to attend.

Hollywood is inseparable from politics. In fact, they have been sending out some forms that are deliberately beautified and cannot be written out. It's just that the Firefly in charge of Lyman doesn't like to go in that direction. He just wants to While reaping fame and fortune, he also perfected his film and television layout.

People live forever, with such an opportunity, he has to leave something behind. He hopes that in the history of film a hundred years later, when people evaluate him, positive comments with a little admiration are enough, but this does not mean that he will Deliberate alienation is not normal.

If anyone can enter here, they will find that the most influential people in the circle are basically there.

There are not too many people, only about 100 people. Even if you count the female companions, the output value is only 30 billion to 40 billion every year. It only counts at the box office In fact, it is not a problem for this number to double by 5 times. , offline and copyright can continue to attract money, and even say that there are only so many people in the upper circle of the world's film and television industry, and they divide up more than half of Hollywood's profits.

The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and the former competitors turned into friends one after another. Lehmann sat in the middle and slightly forward, watching all this thoughtfully.

After being invited, his wealth, career, background, and hard power were not enough to make him move closer to the leader, even though he had seen the face of that person too many times in his previous life.

In fact, this is also for the sake of himself. After he issued a series of economic boosting policies, filled in the large and small holes left by the previous term, and arranged positions for the supporters behind him, he immediately took action.

Hollywood doesn't seem to have such an exaggerated power, but in terms of entertainment, public opinion, and consciousness guidance, it cannot be ignored. The commander definitely doesn't want too many people who oppose him or who don't understand him. That's very bad.

Just look at the overt and covert ridicule in some of the war-themed works after the previous one stepped down. I really want to be disgusted. There should be no problem with the top ten government propaganda agencies in Hollywood.

Although the back of the one has developed into a consortium, involving oil, military industry, and banks, the three most capable of dealing with the country and expanding rapidly, do not need to think to know that "father and son are presidents" have brought them and the people behind them. Nothing can stop everyone's mouth.

When those well-known people are clamoring for "freedom and sweetness", they certainly won't say this.
