498 Chapter 493 (1/2)
After editing ”The Mist”, it took more than a week to dub, subtitle, and insert narration and background music.
Once the film was completed, Lehman asked Liam, the head of Blue Butterfly Pictures, to show it internally.
In the spacious screening hall, most of the people sitting are the backbone of the distribution department, and the remaining small part is the post-production staff of ”The Mist”, and Nicholas Cage also specially came to watch the filming effect.
This is the first time that Blue Butterfly Pictures has officially stepped into a large-scale cinema release, and it is forbidden to be ignored.
With the slight buzz of the projector, the film officially begins in the bright and dark painting pavilion...
Although the production staff in the projection hall looked at the editing material and saw the magic, it was clear what ”The Mist” was talking about, but with the progress of the plot and the appropriate soundtrack and narration sound effects, the feeling was different.
The feature film, which lasted nearly one hour and forty minutes, came to an end, and several publishers clapped unconsciously.
”The movie is excellent, and it is much easier to negotiate with the various theaters. I think, boss, this time the company will definitely expand the theaters channels.” Liam said, appearing confident.
”Then set the number of screens and schedule as soon as possible. After a few days, the publicity can also start to build momentum for the film.”
After Lyman finished his order, he gradually dissipated. After all, there is a lot of work to be done next, and the distribution business of Blue Butterfly Pictures is not mature, so he must cooperate early.
After Liam left with the people, he quickly contacted the senior executives of the major theaters and set up another filming session.
In recent years, there have been many Firefly Pictures projects, which are very profitable and very profitable. The theaters do not doubt Lyman's appeal and are very satisfied with the film itself.
After the initial negotiation, Royal Entertainment and other theaters are willing to provide 2,000 screens to support, about 35% of the film schedule in the first week, and the rest depends on the subsequent results.
If it is good, it will increase, and if it is bad, it will decrease. This is a common practice. In short, it depends on the profit of the film.
In terms of schedule, from the beginning of February to cooperate with the Super Bowl for a week, it is initially scheduled to be screened on February 11.If nothing happens, it's the arrangement.
Although it was half a month earlier than the early March that Lehman expected, the theaters did not want to be too vacant, so Lehman agreed.
Anyway, there are no threatening first-line productions throughout the spring season, and everyone is not afraid of ”The Mist”.
In February, Universal’s medium-production ”Rivals of the People” was released first, followed by Warner’s ”Hell Star”, and ”The Mist” came in third, and the schedule was very reasonable.
Lehman is not worried about the stamina of the two works. ”The Rivals of the People” is a comedy romance movie starring Will Smith. The box office is definitely not bad, but the subsequent series will be reduced. This film has a lot of opening screens and the base of watching movies is reduced It's also fast.
Less than twenty days before the release, the pre-publicity of the film will begin.
It just so happened that the Super Bowl was officially set on February 3.
The spontaneous atmosphere in the streets and alleys also heats up, and even people like Lehman who are immersed in the office and who are not interested in rugby can experience this fanaticism.
Because many people have changed into the New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles logo and uniforms in the past two days, and there are voices talking about the two teams everywhere.
Maybe they are not native Americans, nor can they understand why this kind of event is so influential.
At least, Lehmann had arrived at the moment when the match was broadcast. If he hadn't cast the ”Mist” midfield preview, he would definitely not spend time watching a group of men running around holding the ball.
In the living room, Eva didn't feel much about the Super Bowl, and saw Lyman come down from the study and helped him pour a glass of water.
The scene of this finals was full again, and the voice of cheering seemed very full.
Of course, it's still boring for people who don't like it.
Finally, wait until the end of the second quarter, after the Lamborghini car advertisement, a coquettish blue butterfly quietly danced...
At this moment, many of the audience on the scene are busy going to the bathroom or buying snacks, and carelessly pay attention to advertisements. However, there are at least about 100 million viewers besides the TV. The opening logo of Firefly Pictures flashed on the big screen. In the supermarket under the dense fog, pleading and crying came.
”I don't want to die, please... I'm going in, let me in...” The man was bleeding, begging through the glass door, until he knelt down.
