Hollywood Starts with Animation

"The harsh environment of the market economy is often the moment for the entertainment industry to make a fortune!"

This is a saying circulated in Hollywood.

It is also regarded as truth by countless filmmakers!

In the 1940s, the unprecedented Great Depression broke out in North America, countless practitioners lost their jobs to survive, many families broke up; countless companies went bankrupt, and the market environment was simply terrible.

During that time, countless people called it the "dark time".

However, Hollywood is taking advantage of the rise!

In the 1930s, under the environment of the Great Depression in the United States, countless high-quality films produced by major Hollywood film companies turned out to give spiritual comfort to countless tortured people.

History has proved time and time again that "the bad conditions of the market economy are often the moment for the entertainment industry to make a fortune!"

but

Facing the 9/11 incident this time, the major Hollywood studios were dumbfounded.

Produced and distributed by Paramount, one of the six major Hollywood stars, and joined by many well-known movie stars, the movie "Hard Baseball" was released nationwide on September 14.

Film production cost 45 million US dollars;

The cost of film project announcement is 17 million US dollars;

The number of openings in North America is as high as 2,680 cinemas;

Everything indicates that the movie "Hard Baseball" will be loved by everyone, but people are not as good as the sky!

The film was released on the third day after the outbreak of the September 11 incident. The number of North American cinemas opened was as high as 2,680, and the attendance rate was less than 30%.

Movie blood loss!

As of the beginning of October, the box office of the movie "Hard Baseball" in North America was only $14.5 million.

That's right, the movie "Hard Baseball" with a total investment of up to 62 million US dollars composed of film production Chen Ben + publicity costs, the North American movie box office turned out to be less than 15 million US dollars.

Blood loss!

Well, the kind that doesn't accept rebuttal.

what?

You said that the movie will be shown for a long time, lasting more than 3 months? !

Ha ha!

The film "Hard Baseball" has already been drawn from North American cinemas on October 3, and its cumulative release cycle is less than 20 days!

Paramount, one of the top six in Hollywood, has undoubtedly suffered a blood loss this time.

"Is 9/11 so terrible?"

"Will it definitely have a huge impact on Hollywood's film industry?"

"I do not believe!"

"Paramount's film "Hard Baseball" loses money and does not represent the depression of the entire film industry. I think that as long as the film is good enough, the frustrated audience in the 9/11 incident can be brought back to the cinema again."

——Harvey Weinstein!

That's right, it comes from what Harvey Weinstein, the president of Miramax Films, said during a recent television show.

He also said, "On September 19, the movie "Jie and Bob's Fight" produced and released by Miramax Films will be released in the United States with a shock!"

The total production cost of the film is more than 20 million U.S. dollars, and the publicity fee is also 8 million U.S. dollars. For the Big Six in Hollywood, the movie can only be regarded as a small and medium cost movie.

However, for Miramax Films, it is definitely a key project of the year.

Harvey Weinstein is confident.

History has proved time and time again that "the bad conditions of the market economy are often the moment for the entertainment industry to make a fortune!"

This gave him ample confidence, and he even imagined that "in such a sluggish environment in the industry, my film will surely be a rescuer."

but

The box office on the first day after the movie "Jie and Bob's Fight" was released? 　 made his face sore.

$1.4 million!

That's right? 　The box office on the first day of the movie was only $1.4 million.

Extremely dismal!

In the next time, it was released for more than ten days in a row? 　 The cumulative box office of the movie did not exceed 5 million US dollars.

Miramax Films has suffered a big loss this time!

at the same time.

"Heart of Atlantis" produced by Warner, "Swordsman Ambition" by New Market Pictures bought out and released by New Market Pictures, "Cauchi Romano" by Touchstone Pictures, "Two Players" by Sony Columbia Pictures

There is a movie as a movie

Any movie released from September to October? 　The lineage is lost, and there is no movie that can make a profit at all.

That's right? 　Not a profitable movie!

The major Hollywood studios, looking at the box office blood loss data report? 　 They are dumbfounded.

Major theater companies in North America? 　 Seeing the bleak attendance rate and the empty theaters, they were shocked.

Movie peripheral product retail stores, TV station movie channels, offline DVD and video tape markets, as long as they are involved in the Hollywood entertainment industry, have all been at a loss in the near future.

Warner Bros. Pictures Barry Meyer "The historical experience of the past gave us a slap in the face."

Harvey Weinstein, President of Miramax, "What do you say? What can I say? The movie "Jay and Bob's Fight" produced by my company? 　Since its release? 　The box office has not exceeded 5 million US dollars. You say , What do you want us to say about this damn, desperate, terrible environment?!"

Shirley Lansing, President of Paramount Pictures, "Since the outbreak of the September 11 incident, the films "Hard Baseball" and "Zuland" released by our company have suffered losses. This is enough to prove the negative impact of the September 11 incident on the entire film market. ."

Major Hollywood studios? 　 One is counted as one, and one after another,

No way? 　They all suffer from it!

Wald Films under Zhuke's name, and Kevin Fitch, the president, have also received interviews from many media in recent times.

"Mr. Fitch? 　 According to the news, after the sudden outbreak of the 9/11 incident? 　Many movies that your company plans to release? 　Including the three films "Furious Attacking Heart", "Reaper is Coming 2" and "Fast and Furious"? 　 Announcing the withdrawal one after another files."

The reporter asked, "I would like to ask you, did your company have a premonition of the Great Depression in the film market after the outbreak of 9/11?"

The voice fell.

Kevin Fitch replied, "It is true."

The reporter was immediately shocked and said, "In this way, your company is extremely lucky to exist. After all, the major Hollywood studios have suffered a blood loss recently."

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The same is true for us at Wald Pictures."

Will it not be a loss if the movie is withdrawn?

Nonsense!

Before announcing the withdrawal of the three films "Furious Attacking Heart", "Reaper is Coming 2", and "Fast and Furious", Wald Pictures spent a lot of money on pre-announcement.

The publicity cost exceeded 19 million US dollars.

The film is withdrawn, which means that the $19 million spent in the previous period has been completely wiped out.

The **** lessons of a movie have made many people understand the fact that life in Hollywood during this period of time is not easy.

But there are always people who do not believe in evil!

On the day when Zhu Ke returned to Los Angeles from New York, he received a joint invitation letter from Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures.

The movie "Fighting Storm" was invested and produced by DreamWorks and distributed by Universal Pictures;

The film is directed by Israeli director Rod Larry, starring Robert Redford, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo and others.

It is an action movie with a crime theme.

Among them, the actor played by Robert Redford, he is a high-ranking star in Hollywood, he is the initiator and founder of the Sundance Film Festival, at the same time he played a big role in "Captain America 2" The villain—a head of Hydra, a corner of the former director of SHIELD.

The film will be premiered in Japan ~www.novelmtl.com~ and will be released nationwide on Japan.

Zhu Ke shook the invitation letter in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Tsk-tsk-tsk~I have seen someone who died without knowing it, I have never seen someone who rushes to die."

Chief Assistant Alexander asked, "Boss, are you going?"

"Of course I am going."

Zhu Ke was very happy.

Regarding DreamWorks and Universal Pictures, no matter which one of them is, Zhuke is a little bit off. Of course, everyone is an adult, and the contradiction is nothing more than a conflict of interests.

Student Zhu Ke was very interested in witnessing their unlucky and **** unlucky luck with their own eyes.
