171 Chapter 171 Digging a hole to smear (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
California, located at 100 Universal City Plaza Avenue between Burbank and Hollywood.
This address is the headquarters office building of Universal Pictures, Hollywood's second oldest film company.
As an established film manufacturer, with the resources and industry channels of the parent company Comcast, they once held the top spot among the six.
At the beginning of the new century, it worked closely with famous directors such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and released global hits such as ”Jaws”, ”ET Alien”, and ”Jurassic Park”. Blockbuster.
In the 21st century, Universal Pictures has become Hollywood's best at developing sequel movies and comedy films.
But at this time, in a simply decorated office, the atmosphere is not quite right.
Ron Meyer, the CEO of Universal Pictures Film Distribution at the time, was smoking a cigarette, looking at the marketing assistant Adam Sunderland opposite, but Adam Sunderland lowered his head and aimed his eyes on the floor. Dare to look up.
The two didn't say a word, Ron Royale was like a cigarette tube and burned again, the cigarettes in his hand kept on, and the room quickly filled with the smell of nicotine and tar.
There was a ”bang”.
Ron Meyer’s hand slammed onto the desk, his five slightly thick fingers spread out, and he pressed a report tightly, and said in a low voice, ”Such results, you let me How to report to the board.”
Adam Sunderland was startled by the sudden burst of momentum, sweat dripped on his forehead, his head slightly lifted, and his mouth opened, but in the end he said nothing.
What does this make him say?
As mentioned earlier, due to the popularity of ”Bad Guy” on the market, their work ”Fake God” has always been in an embarrassing position. It has only been shown for three days, even if it is a working day, the box office A decline is a normal market reflection, but compared with the results of the first day, the decline is too fast, and it is even more misleading.
”We commissioned the company to do a street survey. Those with the most potential moviegoers (16 to 35 years old) prefer to watch ”Bad Guy” together, which also diverts a lot of our movie audiences. If... ..”
”I don't want to listen to this, I just want to ask if there is any way to make our box office go as expected.”
Before Adam Sunderland could finish speaking, Ron Mayer quickly interrupted him.
He also has reason to be angry. The report showed a cliff-like performance ups and downs-it received 13.23 million U.S. dollars. If it continues to develop according to this momentum, ”Fake Celestial” may not be able to recover its investment.
You must know that just asking Kim Carey to join this work, they paid a basic remuneration of 15 million US dollars plus 15% of the box office revenue in North America. It is really a failure. It may be how much Universal will lose. This has not been calculated. Use your own media resources to promote the cost of the movie (the money you receive is discounted, and there are some things that you can't buy with money.)
How to calculate this?
Just think about it, but Ron Meyer felt that his seat under his ass was a bit shaken-a big company like Universal would always benefit more than favors, even if he has been working here for 12 years, not to mention how hard it is. Impression points are not very useful for this.
Besides, it is still a movie starring Kim Carey, or a comedy, which can be lost. What do others think, what does the management think, can the board be happy?
