Chapter 102： Gold Rush Success (2/2)
”Xun ...” Emma-Thomas' face was incredibly surprised and somewhat speechless; Nolan felt his heart pumping and beating fast, he thought for a moment and calmed his mood, no Lulu authentic: ”50 million.”
Emma-Thomas shouted ”Oh my God” she secretly put her fist on the back of her husband's back. It takes skill and coax to pull funds! What you want is 50 million, but you have to say 30 million at the beginning, and then increase it step by step; if some rogue practices, or even after the shooting starts, the middle said ”there is not enough money” to request additional investment. When riding a tiger, it is common to attract other companies to partner, so that the probability of success will be high. Of course, in doing so, the reputation as a producer is also ruined. Unless the movie is sold later, investors will be happy to ignore it.
50000000? Wang Yang quickly thought about the company's finances. ”When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door”, the global box office was fixed at 385 million. After deducting taxes, the company received more than 140 million funds; ”High School Musical 2” The box office in North America finally broke through 100 million and stopped at 101 million. The box office overseas was higher than North America as estimated. It received 120 million and the box office of 221 million US dollars worldwide, which also brought more than 83.51 million after tax to the company's account income.
These do not calculate the peripheral income of the two movies. There are too many types of peripheral income. He can't remember the specific situation at the moment, but the company's box office revenue alone is 223.5 billion. He took out 20 million, 5 million sponsored the Robert-Zemeggis Training Academy, bought 6 million houses, renovated and arranged, of course, the cost of living, paying personal taxes and so on. Anyway, Flame Company now has at least more than 200 million available funds.
Enough to make this ”Mr. Hughes”. Thinking of this, Wang Yang nodded and smiled at Nolan: ”Chris, the flame film investment is 65 million. If it is not enough, it will be added.” Jessica could not help but glance at him, 65 million big production? His own maximum production cost is only 32 million.
Mrs. Nolan froze again, and seeing Wang Yang thinking, they thought he thought 50 million was too much. Now he said 65 million? Emma-Thomas blinked, and there was only one voice in his heart, ”His courage is really well-deserved!” Now even Nolan had this gaffe, and he couldn't control his joy and surprise. Asked: ”Yang, is this true?”
”Of course, the producer is Emma you? And Chris, you have absolute autonomy, what kind of actors to find, how to shoot and how to cut, everything is according to your meaning.” Wang Yang looked at the Nolan couple Surprised, he smiled and said: ”Please, what's wrong? Chris, I know your abilities and talents. Let go and do it! I believe Flame will get a good movie.”
Emma-Thomas looked at her husband happily. Nolan took a few breaths slowly and slowly, and his morale seemed to be back. He looked at Wang Yang, his voice calm but hard and sincere: ”Thank you!”
”Hey, dinner is ready.” Jessica said the right time, Wang Yang dragged her hand to stand up, and smiled at Nolan's wife: ”We will say it again at dinner, but I think we will be The food is fascinating, my girlfriend's craftsmanship is incredible. ”Jessica smiled and quietly said:” Yang is the master chef, his Chinese food is so good, he should be responsible for dinner. ”
Mrs. Nolan stood up smiling and followed them to the dining room. Nolan looked at Wang Yang, who was laughing all the way, and his heart was still a bit weird. Is that all right? Yo. Million investment? His movie? His eyes narrowed slightly, miraculously Yang, this guy who is 10 years younger this year, thank you!
In order to add a promotional effect to ”The Fragment of Memory”, the flame film announced this latest plan for the first time. It will produce a Howard-Hughes biographical film with an investment of more than 60 million. The film is temporarily named ”Mr. Hughes” and is scheduled to be released in 2002.
The movie world, fan fans, and the media are all surprised to open their mouths again. If the director is Wang Yang, no one will be surprised. At most, they will say, ”Oh, it ’s so fast, there is another one from Magic Yang.” ,Who is he? The director of ”Memory Fragment”? None of that movie has been released yet! The flame movie has already rushed to give Nolan 60 million? Is this miraculously crazy intermittently? Or is this purely hype?
After the ”Memory Fragment” is screened, this ”Mr. Hughes” plan will sink into the sea, indefinitely late? Film companies and media outlets are inclined to this, although most fans of fans think so, but if this is really a hype, they will inevitably be fooled, more curious about the upcoming ”Shard of Memory” .
As early as the Flame Film bought ”Memory Fragment” at the Sundance Film Festival for 8 million, the publicity plan has begun. Its publicity budget is only 5 million. This money is mainly used for the Internet except for some posters. Viral marketing on the Internet, ”High IQ films”, ”new types of suspense logic films small” smart people can only understand ”, etc., are all composed of some” watched this film at the Sundance Film Festival ”and” participated The fans of the ”secret screening of the arrangement of the flame movie” are spread everywhere, and of course they are the employees of the flame movie.
”Memory Fragment” also has a variety of puzzle games and logical quizzes on the palace website. The slogan is ”train your thinking skills and meet the challenges of this movie!”
The word challenge is the core of official publicity. Audiences who like to watch suspenseful logic movies all like to use their brains. Everyone thinks that they are very smart. Let them have a lot of interest and have a ”see if you are so powerful” mentality, they will walk into the cinema to challenge ”Memory Fragment.” Then the whole Fengfeng publicity plan was successful.
On October 27th, ”Memory Fragment” was registered in 521 theaters in North America, and a new game was also launched on the official website, listing the serial numbers and contents of each black and white color * plot of ”Memory Fragment” for fans to freely combine Sort, edit out the real stories you think, and communicate with other fans.
The moment to test the effectiveness of the publicity came. On the 27th and 29th, the three-day weekend box office, ”Memory Fragment” received 6.872 million box office, ranking fourth in the weekend box office ranking this weekend, regardless of whether it is the top three, or In the last three places, the number of their theaters is more than 2,000 and more than 3,000.
Although this dark horse achievement is not a miracle ~~, it surprised and regretted many film companies. They all thought that 5 million box office was the limit of ”Memory Fragment”, but now it is close to 7 million in one weekend! What makes people yell ”What a joke” is that the fans of the suspense movie are crazy. They are completely fascinated by this dizzy movie. In order to understand what is going on, they even watch a few games. , And the score of ”Memory Fragment” on imdb actually reached a score!
The film review of ”Luo Xuanfan Times” said ”This is a very complicated and thoughtful movie, no doubt a masterpiece.” Yahoo Entertainment reported on ”Magic Yang Gold Rush Success!” In the independent film that Sundance doesn't care about, in the eyes of the flame company, don't tell me that the idea behind it is not magical. The vision of this magical director is as magical. We have reason to believe that ”Mr. Hughes” is not a show. Hype. ”
Six days after the battle, ”Memory Fragment” received 9.847 million box office, the time has come, November 1, Halloween.
Through this festival, Wang Yang and Jessica held a makeup party at home and invited a large number of friends to come to play, Michael Pitt, Harry George, Zachary, Rachel, and invited Nolan couple, when Wang Yang dressed as a zombie saw Nolan in a suit and trousers and a white shirt, he couldn't help laughing: ”Chris, what are you doing !?” Nolan just smiled slightly and said, : ”Christopher Nolan.”
