"Our movie must compress the viewing time, Larry." Song Ya advised Larry. The original film is exactly one hundred minutes, and the rhythm is not too tight. "For a commercial film with ten million investment, the theater Don’t take the risk of letting the audience sit in the theater for more than two hours. Too long will definitely affect the filming.”
"I know I know."
Old Larry took off his glasses, "Although this movie is not an art or mainstream commercial blockbuster, it has many elements, such as singing and dancing, love, inspiration, sports..."
"Don't exercise, don't exercise."
The people at Universal found another point that can be cut off, "APLUS and the second male baseball scene should also be compressed. It is enough to confess the characters of the two."
"There can be more singing and dancing. People like to watch lively singing and dancing. APLUS dances very beautifully~www.mtlnovel.com~ The heroine has very good skills, but the expressiveness is actually not as good as APLUS..." Catherine's husband also saw Amy's dance performance Regarding strength, although she has worked very hard, "the heroine's body can be portrayed in more shots, but it should not affect the classification."
Amy's body is better than that of the original heroine, her chest is no smaller than the original heroine, her waist is thinner, and her clothes are more upscale. The frontal shots of certain dancers after dancing have slight bumps, which is more seductive.
"First is singing and dancing, then love, and finally inspiration, sports? Go to hell." The head of universal distribution complained: "There are too many sports inspirational films these days. There is a baseball angel at the same time in July. We are not here. Compared with it above."
"We are the only one of the song and dance genre, right?" Song Ya asked.
"Yes, but it's not necessarily good news. American audiences of musicals and dance films are vomiting. It is because of a series of box office failures that Hollywood rarely shoots." The head of Universal Distribution explained.
"I understand." Song Ya also knew the truth.
"But you are the first to use street dance elements, so...everything can only be seen by the market's reaction, and no one can grasp the taste of the audience 100%."
In my life, I don’t have any chance to win prizes, so I have no chance to rely on winning prizes to influence the audience’s desire to watch movies. After the publicity is done, I can only wait for the audience’s reputation to grow.
"Well, that's it for today."
The head of universal distribution got up, yawned, and left the viewing room with his men.
"Issuing companies are always so annoying." Someone in the front row complained. It was Stan Brackhitch, old Larry's close friend.
"Haha, no way, they are naturally strong." Catherine's husband also left.
"What? The movie is over?" Mariah Carey just woke up at this time, she asked dazedly.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 536: Watch 2 in a row
Stanbulakhitch is the elder Lalila to help improve the right to speak with the producers and distributors. He is still in the avant-garde and art film circles. He is much more influential in Hollywood and film critic circles than Larry. Song Ya also saw Stanbulakheqi here, temporarily changed his plan, invited them to dinner, and consulted about the movie awards by the way.
"Oscar?" The two old men laughed when they heard Song Ya's unrealistic question. "Do you have this plan?"
"One thing, best original soundtrack and best original song..."
Song Ya answered.
"Maybe, but don't hope too much. The Oscar judges don't like to dance movies like my life, and they don't like singers who come to play tickets."
Stanbulakhitch said: "This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the film. Major European and American film companies have invested their greatest enthusiasm and resources to produce high-quality products. The Oscar competition early next year will be unprecedentedly fierce."
"I understand, but you have heard my BeWhatYouWannaBe song, do you think there is a chance?" Song Ya asked when he asked the best song in the original soundtrack of the movie of my life.
"Too popular."
Stanbulakhitch shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help you APLUS, but I advise you to put your energy on other things, such as the MTV movie awards run by MTV."
It was a small award, and its influence in the film industry was far less than that of VMA in the record industry, although it was all run by one company.
"I didn't have a chance, Redstone bought Paramount..."
At the end of last year, Viacom (MTV is a subsidiary) boss Redstone won one of the top seven Paramount Pictures in the competition with Barry Diller at an incredible price, worth $10 billion. , 10 billion in 1993.
The specific operation process is also unbelievable. After he proposed a purchase price of 8.2 billion yuan, Occidental Petroleum and others behind Paramount knew that there was another entertainment mogul Barry Diller who was also preparing to enter the competition, so they rejected the offer. At the same time it began to induce the two to bid.
Redstone was not in love with the battle, and found out that the situation did not take a second to change the target. He bought the audio-visual chain giant Blockbuster for 8.4 billion yuan. Barry Diller was not in a hurry when he saw the main rivals leave the market, and started peacemaking with peace of mind. Ramon negotiated slowly, trying to drive down the purchase price. Unexpectedly, the old fox Redstone backhanded Blockbuster to the bank, mobilized a full 10 billion of funds, and made a second offer to buy Paramount. This time Paramount lost trust in Barry Diller, and his psychological defense was also there. This price completely collapsed, without any further delay, and the acquisition was successful.
In just a few weeks, Lei Shidong instigated two shocking acquisitions totaling 18.4 billion yuan, shaking Quanmi. His personal fortune of less than 4 billion dollars has skyrocketed afterwards, and his territory and personal power in the entertainment media industry have stepped up again. A new unrivaled peak, fame and fortune. And another tycoon, Barry Diller, not only returned empty-handed, but was also spurned by Wall Street Capital, which provided financial assistance for his purchase of Paramount. His personal wealth has shrunk sharply, and the two years of fighting has come to an end.
Now Redstone’s media, entertainment, audio-visual distribution, and cinema resources will all **** the new Paramount, to show off the strong film A-Gump that happened to run into his family during my life, Song Ya will not be shot. Thank you very much, how dare you expect to win his MTV movie award.
Old Larry is much more nervous than Song Ya. "Forrest Gump is starring Tom Hanks. He was very well received for the sleepless night in Seattle last year. He also won the Oscar for best actor based on the Philadelphia story. That movie Will be our big potential opponent."
"Yes, so I plan to see the Philadelphia story tomorrow."
That sensitive drama about HIV patients' fight for rights has already won 70 million box office and is still in theaters. However, there are only less than 600 theaters left. It is estimated that it will be released soon. I want to watch it quickly.
"I don't want to watch..." Mariah Carey acted like a baby on the side.
"Then what do you want to see?" Song Ya asked her.
"Four weddings and a funeral." She said, "It must be about marriage."
"..."
"Haha, it's not it." Stanbulakheitch laughed, "I won't be spoiled for details, but it's very enjoyable. It's a romantic comedy filmed by the British, starring the popular niche Hugh Grant over there. ."
"Just look at this." Mariah Carey nodded.
"Well, watch both, and watch them together."
"Don't think too much about it. Commercial high school musicals and Forrest Gump's drama audience do not overlap."
Stanbulakhitch pulled the topic back and raised his wine glass. "The summer file is very rare. Even if it is in the middle stage, it is estimated that the box office will not lose to the first in the off-season. I wish your movies are selling well..."
