Chapter 1044 (1/2)

After lunch, in the afternoon, there will be a conference on the production and publicity of the two films in new world film.

It's Friday, October 18.

Danielis Entertainment's Halloween schedule will open next week, that is, October 26, when the new world movie series Annabel, the latest movie series of the universe produced by new world pictures, will be officially released.

As another extension of the evocative film universe series, Annabel's story prototype took place in 1970. It also comes from the material provided by the supernatural investigator Warren and his wife. It tells the story of a puppet doll possessed by an evil spirit.

The production cost of the film is still $15 million, far more than the original version of 6.5 million in 2014, regardless of inflation.

Annabel, which was once the derivative of Warner's ”evocation” series, started production only after the success of ”evocation” in 2013. At that time, there was no concept of evocation movie universe, so it did not hold too much expectation. Not only the production budget was poor, but also the directors and protagonists of the film were all new. As a result, the film was a great success, with a production cost of 6.5 million US dollars and a total global box office of more than 200 million US dollars. After that, Warner began to seriously construct the universe of evocative films.

This time, of course, is different.

New evocation movie universe, the first two series, ”evocation” and ”the morgue haunted event” have achieved success, the new version of ”Annabel”, dannilis entertainment attaches great importance to it from the beginning, so it directly locks in the production budget of 15 million US dollars, no matter whether the director or the actor has a considerable foundation.

For example, the most important heroine, this time, is Madeleine Stowe.

Although the actress, who made her debut in the 1980s, has always been lukewarm, her appearance and acting skills have been affirmed. She has cooperated with Kevin Costner, Jack Nicholson and Daniel Day Lewis. It can be said that what she lacks is only an opportunity.

Annabel, which is basically supported by women, is such an opportunity for Madeleine Stowe.

Although horror movies often can't improve the cast's position, as long as the project achieves the success of the first two series of the evocative movie universe, the actress, who has always been oriented to the vase, will be able to get rid of the shadow brought by the celebrities and gain more attention and resources from Hollywood.

Because of this attribute, the original ”Annabel” heroine also experienced a good fight.

The film was finished two months ago. At the same time, publicity was launched. The afternoon meeting only discussed the last week's release sprint and some subsequent publicity arrangements after the film was released.

The other is American school.

This youth comedy has completed its casting during this period. Compared with the initial budget of 15 million US dollars for the evocation movie universe, the budget for the first production of American pie is only 10 million US dollars. However, because it is a project of danielis entertainment, it still attracts many young actors or actors pretending to be teenagers to fight for it.

Inspired by American school, Simon also realized that he could start a new upsurge of youth movies in the next few years.

In fact, the last upsurge of youth movies was Simon's debut in the 1980s, when he gave a series of ”death is coming”, ”Butterfly Effect” and ”scream”. Now, ten years later, these series have been basically silent. Coupled with the rapid rise of a series of super blockbuster movies in recent years, youth movies have fallen into a low ebb.

Now, ”American School” just can be used as a new beginning.

In order to promote this plan, Simon specially arranged Denise entertainment to sign a long-term film contract with the selected actors this time. Three films start, and most of them are packaged five contracts, basically buying out a group of newcomers or stars pretending to be newcomers in the next ten years.

Next, the same team, horror films, sex comedies, spoof films and so on, can try. As long as a certain potential brand effect is formed, the market will definitely favor the same group of people.

In short, it's the rotten boy Gang mode of one hero and three gangs.

And, although bound, it's also good for the actors themselves.

After all, the biggest disadvantage of the past youth film actors is that the performance cycle is short and the elimination rate is high. After a few films, they are often forgotten by the audience. Danielis entertainment creates a fixed team of youth films, which can control the cost and maintain the continuity of the series. For the actors, it can also continue their career as far as possible.

In addition, ”American Pie”, as the beginning of another upsurge of youth movies in danielis Entertainment's new world film industry, has directly determined the hot schedule of next summer vacation, and at the same time, it once again conforms to the idea that danielis Entertainment's three brands start side by side. If the new edition of ”American Pie” can achieve the same success as it used to be, the achievements of new world pictures in the summer vacation next year will be as good as that of this year.

Throughout the afternoon, the meeting on Annabel lasted for an hour, and the rest of the time was reserved for American Pie and related youth film projects.What Simon is most interested in is the pile of fresh meat signed by Denise entertainment during this period.

Because of Simon's involvement, many names are familiar.

Of course, it was the actresses who attracted Simon's interest.

For example, Sarah Michelle galea, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jordan Brewster, who had a short shelf life but was quite amazing when she was young, as well as Richie Witherspoon, Anna Farrell, Jennifer Esposito, noza Elizabeth, Kelly Russell and even Charlize Theron, who accidentally jumped into the list.

These actresses, one ”American Pie” is sure to run out, but the next plan, everyone can get a good chance.

Besides, if it wasn't for this time, Simon would like to hold a special party to bring the girls together for entertainment.

At the end of the meeting, Simon didn't forget to talk about the hangover.

This is the idea that came into being in New York some time ago. In order to promote a group of casinos that are already under the control of westero system, Simon plans to arrange the scene of the original version of ”hangover” in Atlantic City on the east coast, and shoot this R-class comedy that has triggered a phenomenal viewing boom in advance.

However, compared with ”American Pie” or ”Annabel” to be painted next week, because even next year's list is full, this project can only be pushed forward to the next year.

This just gives the project enough creative time.

In addition, this project can also be used to support the rotten boy Gang to compete with several comedy stars at this stage.

After a week's work, Simon set out again the next day for the east coast.

The four major fashion weeks have officially ended, so Simon needs to follow up in person when it comes to the final rehearsal stage of the first stage and the last stage of the Vimy show.

And then there are women and children.

It's troublesome to say.

After some thoughts last month, unconsciously, the Westeros have three more children in the process of pregnancy.

Grace has one in her stomach.

Maria has one in her stomach.

And finally, Irene Lauder.

The first two are OK, and the last Landai girl is the trouble. The main thing is that Simon didn't have a very clear plan at the beginning. He just told the housekeeper who was in charge of some things casually. It was a bit, um, the element of adventure. He didn't expect to be shot in one shot.
