Chapter 157: 157

On April 1, three other new films joined the competition for the Easter season.

Except for Tim Burton's "beetle juice", the other two new films do not pose any threat to "when Harry meets Sally".

Simon is very clear about the box office potential of "beetle juice". In the original time and space, it was because of the success of "beetle juice" that Tim Burton got the job of director of "Batman".

However, Warner now obviously doesn't hold too much expectation for "beetle juice". Although it has given the Easter schedule, it only provides 1000 opening screens for the film, which is far lower than the 1700 of "golden academy 5" in the previous two weeks.

So, in Easter week, when Harry meets Sally, the box office of "when Harry meets Sally" dropped only 13% to close at $15.49 million, reaching $37.05 million. Beetle juice, which follows when Harry meets Sally, grossed $13.24 million in the first week, almost double that of golden academy 5.

Immediately, Warner's deep foundation as one of the seven major Hollywood Studios was immediately revealed.

Due to the box office success of the first week, Ron McMillan is also in charge of scream with Wes Craven after finishing "death is coming" with Wes Craven last year.

What Simon wants to talk to Ron Macmillan happens to have something to do with scream.

Seeing Simon come in, Ron McMillan, who is obviously more prosperous than Luotuo two years ago, warmly shakes hands with him and says, "Simon, how are you talking with Disney?"

"It's done," Simon and Macmillan shook hands, turned to their desks, sat down, flipped out a folder, and said, "Ron, we have to have a good talk."

Ron McMillan sat down opposite Simon. Seeing that his face became serious, he felt a little uneasy unconsciously: "what's the problem?"

Simon handed the folder in his hand and said, "about scream, I remember saying at the first production meeting that Cathy, who was killed at the beginning of the production, was crucial to shaping the thriller tone of the whole film. In order to increase the impact on the audience, we need to choose an actress with high popularity. "

Ron McMillan opened the folder and saw a list of actresses in it. A guilty look flashed on his face.

However, under Simon's gaze, he said in a relaxed tone: "Simon, does Amanda wise not meet your requirements? She made her debut ten years ago and has played in many films. "

"It's all small characters. If I didn't see her profile, I wouldn't know who it was," Simon said, shaking his head and looking at Macmillan. In the initial casting process, I picked Phoebe Katz and asked you to contact her. You told me that Phoebe Katz refused, then bypassed all the other options and sent the information about the actress in your hand. But, Ron, what you've overlooked is that I'm not an outsider who wants to invest in a movie or two in Hollywood to earn some fame. Phoebe Katz is a wma artist, it's just a phone call thing. Then Jonathan told me that Phoebe Katz and his agent had never been invited to scream at all

When he was exposed by Simon face to face, Ron McMillan's expression was a little chatty. After hesitation, he said, "Simon, it's just a small role."

Simon frowned and said, "Ron, I don't resent you using your position to have some fun in private, all over Hollywood. But the premise of all this is that you have to be responsible for the project in your hands. The cost of making scream is $10 million. Do you know what that means? No matter in any city, just $1000 is basically enough to find a woman of very good quality. For $10 million, 10000 women can be found. If you lower the standard, you can even find 100000 of them, which you can't sleep for a lifetime. So, no woman is worth risking a $10 million project, and I won't allow anyone else to risk my $10 million project, do you understand? "

Ron McMillan's face changed for a while, and finally whispered, "I'm sorry, Simon."

Simon continued to look at the middle-aged man opposite him for a moment, then slowed down and said, "Ron, I cherish our experience of completing" Lola Run "together, and I hope we can continue to work together. So, let's talk about Phoebe Katz again. As for this woman, you can give her another small role. I don't want any messy things to come out. Remember, this is the only time

Send Ron McMillan away and Simon leans back in a leather chair, tired.

These days, as Denise film's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, all kinds of problems are beginning to pour in.

At the beginning of this month, Simon visited the rain man crew in Palm Springs, eastern California, and found that the whole crew was in a lighthearted state of "letting themselves go". Simon could clearly feel that Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman and other creators had thought that the film would be a mess from the bottom of their bones, so he was shooting it with a completely holiday playing attitude Photo.In order to avoid overspending again under the already loose budget, simonga sent an accountant to stay in the rain man crew all the time. Now he still insists on checking the shooting sample of rain man twice a week, and decides to participate in the post production of the film in person, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents in the film.

For several other films under preparation, many of the invited filmmakers have a mentality of not killing the fat sheep in the front, and the price offered is generally higher than the industry level.

Simon also began to understand why the original time and space of the karock film industry frequently produced films that broke budget records, and even produced the first Hollywood film Terminator 2 with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan. This film company backed by German tax avoidance capital was obviously regarded as a fat sheep.

Simon's words to Amy on the way back from Disney are the result of his emotional accumulation during this period.

Because of the deep indifference in his heart, Simon has no resentment towards those people who regard himself as a big wrongdoer. However, Denise pictures will not easily cooperate with them any more.

With a large number of copyrights such as Tolkien's Middle Earth series, Superman and Batman, speed and passion, Forrest Gump, dancing with the wolf, pretty girl, and many other best-selling movie scripts in his memory, Simon has now accumulated enough chips. If he wants to, he can even make a North American box office champion every year. Therefore, Simmons did not intend to give Hollywood the illusion that she was a fat sheep.

Want to eat big, no problem, first try your teeth hard enough.
