Hollywood Drawing

Post-production continued until the end of December, when Los Angeles temperatures dropped to the lowest point of the year, and Get Out was completely done.

Warner Bros. has obtained the latest trailer, and this 15-second commercial was first broadcast in the evening of Time Warner.

Warner Bros. is still in the early stages of publicity, and will need to wait until the film is released before launching a large-scale publicity.

At that time, its TV stations such as HBO, TNT, etc., and its various print media will participate in the relevant publicity work. Of course, all that Warner Bros. has done has only one purpose, and that is profit.

All of these publicity methods have a premise, that is, the media film critics test screening will begin soon.

At this moment, in a small conference room in the Warner Building, several core team members of Wayne, Luke, and John are accompanying Jeff Robinoff, director of film and television production at Warner, and three film selection experts from Warner. Watch this video.

As the projector stopped working, the lights in the conference room came back on.

"The finished film is very good, you guys did a great job." After watching it, Jeff clapped his hands politely, and then looked at the three film selection experts.

After all, this film will go to the market and face the public audience, so the opinions of these film selection experts are very important. Their opinions are likely to affect the implementation of the follow-up publicity plan.

"The film is 104 minutes long, and the control is very good. There is no problem with the coherence of the plot." The film selection expert who spoke first stared at the record in his hand and said only these two sentences. They obviously have a reasonable division of labor.

At this time, the only female film expert, took his words and continued: "The production is well made at a small cost. Director Greenberg obviously knows what the audience wants, and he also knows how to make a commercial film.

The reversal, reversal, and reversal that appear in the slightly clichéd plot, personally, this is the highest level of thriller play I have seen so far. "

After speaking, he turned to the last film expert.

"A combination of suspense, comedy, optimism, anti-sacrifice, and social satire, the expression is exquisite and innovative. The details are echoed in layers, and the grotesque and disturbing atmosphere runs through the whole film. The sprint of the night gardener and the metaphor of the deer Just right.

It can be said that it is an excellent visualization of racial issues in North America, but it is particularly important to pay attention to whether the **** scene at the end of the film will arouse some white people's disgust. "

Jeff has been listening to them all the time. These are senior Warner employees. The conclusions they give, whether they are positive or negative, will always stand on an absolutely objective standpoint.

"Okay, Wayne! I have to say that this is a masterpiece of a thriller." Jeff recalled the film he had just watched and looked at the director sitting opposite.

"Warner has sent invitations to the media, film critics and the North American Cinema Alliance. The test film will be on the 15th. You have to be prepared!"

"No problem, Jeff." Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was basically optimistic about the film. "That's it, I'll go back and prepare first!"

Wayne's original editing concept was to not create confusion for the audience, distract them from the main plot, or feel bored and bored.

The entire main frame of the film is simple and easy to understand, and most of the audience who walk into the theater must not feel confused after watching the film.

As for what the film-watching expert said, some white audiences may be disgusted, and he is not worried about this situation. This is just a movie, not everyone's favorite knife.

Even if the box office sells a lot, some people will not like it. Even the brilliant "Avatar" still has a large number of fans complaining about the weak story? But this does not affect the commercial success of "Avatar".

Walking out of the Warner Building, Wayne and Jimmy got into the car and were about to return to the manor. The film has been completely produced, and his work on this project has basically come to the end. The most important thing left is to participate in the announcement of the film, but the follow-up matters are all dominated by Warner, and he can now let go of most of the burden.

"Wayne, I have to say, this car has more space than a Cadillac." Sitting in the new car that Sergey drove back, Jimmy leaned on the large sofa and was amazed.

"I think so too!" Wayne said, also leaning on the sofa. "It seems that I can handle work on the road in the future!"

This Rolls-Royce Silver Spur is an extended version. If you ignore its slightly old-fashioned shape, the interior space is especially comfortable. And after the car started, the two people sitting inside had almost no bumps at all.

"Your lawyer Ryan called me." Jimmy's eyes revealed a complicated look. "Phelan Goodman's attorneys have filed for an out-of-court settlement, and they seem to have had enough of you biting him bit by bit."

He has been busy with work and has hardly cared about this matter. Now that he heard his agent came ahead of time, he remembered that he was still in a lawsuit.

"What did Ryan do? Make Phelan Goodman bow his head so quickly? I have to play for at least a year and a half in the future." Wayne asked it curiously, and Jimmy followed up on this matter all the time.

"It's not that Phelan Goodman wants to bow his head. It's that he has to bow his head. Not only did Ryan sue him for defamation, but also some other bad things. I only know Ryan's law firm, contacted a private investigator, and has been investigating him."

When Jimmy said this, he also felt a chill, these lawyers have no bottom line for the dollar. Because they knew Phelan Goodman's net worth, they started desperately trying to kill him one by one.

"Aha, it seems that I promised the lawyer 30% of the compensation, which played a huge role!" The contract he signed with the lawyer contained specific terms. Not only the legal fees are paid, but the final compensation is 30% of the participants.

In North American cases, more than 90% of cases will have a large amount of compensation.

"What conditions did the other party offer?" Wayne asked him curiously.

Jimmy regained his complicated gaze. "$7 million, settled out of court. According to the lawyer's investigation, this money can be said to drain his blood. It seems that Ferran Goodman wants to end the lawsuit as soon as possible, and he knows your purpose is to bite every bite. he."

This farce Jimmy witnessed almost the whole process, and he also contacted him in the follow-up. Wayne never cared and easily made millions.

"Are we going to agree to an out-of-court settlement? Wayne." Jimmy took a bottle of water from the cabinet and took a sip. "Ryan's suggestion is to agree, which is almost all the money the other party can come up with."

Wayne thought for a while, since he had achieved his goal of turning him into a pauper, there was nothing to say. "Tell Ryan that this condition is acceptable, and I will fax him a power of attorney."

Seven million US dollars is already quite a lot. If the other party fights to the end, he will definitely not be able to get so much money. Just because Ferran Goodman knew his purpose, he would only survive by docking his tail.

Time inadvertently advanced slowly to mid-January. On the third floor of Greenberg Manor, Wayne looked into the mirror and put on a dark suit.

Because of personal habit, in the huge wardrobe, almost all dark suits look a little monotonous. He has always been careless about what he wears, just keeping in mind a principle that men can never go wrong in a dark suit no matter what the occasion.

"Dear, how are you?" Halle Berry looked mysterious and **** in a black low-cut tight evening dress.

I have to say that the black pearl at her best age is not as dark as she imagined, her smooth skin close to chocolate color, coupled with a **** tight fishtail skirt, she is extremely gorgeous.

"We're ready, we'll go right away." Wayne turned to look at Halle Berry with a surprised look on his face. "Harry, you are so charming tonight!"

Hearing his compliment, Halle Berry puffed out his chest, walked to Wayne's side and took his arm, and went downstairs together to prepare to set off for today's film preview.

The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly on the road. After closing the isolation door in front of him, Halle Berry was holding a small mirror all the way, constantly observing the makeup on his face.

"How do I look?" When approaching the theater in West Hollywood, where Warner Bros. held a preview, she finally put away the small mirror and scattered makeup, and asked with an uncertain tone.

"It's already perfect~www.wuxiamtl.com~Harry."

"When, when!"

Nina in front knocked on the partition, and after Wayne opened it, a reminder came from the other side. "Here we are, boss."

"Okay, Harry, this isn't the movie premiere, there's no red carpet for you to go, let's get out of the car!" He opened the car door directly, took her with one hand and walked down.

Completely different from what Harry imagined, there was neither a large number of reporters nor a crowd of fans at the entrance of the theater. She could only hold Wayne's arm and follow him quickly into the theater.

This evening, Warner Bros. not only invited media reporters, but also a small number of fans and film critics in the preview meeting for "Get Out" held here. There are also representatives of the most important cinema alliances, including film viewing experts from AMG Cinemas and Emperor Entertainment.

The cinema side has always had only one choice for film selection, and that is whether it can reap the box office. They will never directly give the theater screen just because it is released by a Hollywood giant, which involves their interests.

How many theaters and how many screens can a film produced for commercial purposes be screened, in addition to the ability of the distribution company, it is also necessary to consider whether it can impress the theater party.

If an expert watching the film in theaters at the test screening, thinks that the film is destined to be a street work, and can't find any selling point. No matter how hard Warner Bros. PR efforts were, the film wouldn't get many resources.

"Hello, Director Greenberg!"

As soon as he entered the gate of the theater, someone greeted him in the passage and walked over. At this time, Nina, who was following behind him, explained in a low voice: "This is the senior film selection expert of the AMG theater chain, Downs Bell!"

With Nina's reminder, Wayne extended his hand to him. "Hello Mr Bell!"
