Chatty Hollywood

In the North American film market in June and July of 1994, there were too many movies that were either classics or box office explosions.

"Speed", which was released on June 10, is a typical action movie with handsome men and beautiful women. At this time, Keanu Reeves, who seemed a little green, was at the peak of his appearance, and Sandra Bullock was also young and in full bloom. Although the acting skills of these two can only be described as "make do" for a long time afterwards, who cares?

The looks of these two alone are enough to lick the screen for a group of boys and girls who control the face, not to mention the hot scenes that stimulate everyone's adrenaline;

And on June 15th, it was released almost at the same time as "Fatal Turn". It is another divine film of later generations - "The Lion King". This can be said to be the last swan song of Disney's 2D animation department, although it is destined to be a tragedy. , but far-reaching. What's more, Disney's usual family carnival routine alone is doomed to harvest the box office of all age groups, and it is 100% not easy to mess with;

When "Fatal Turn" was released, the two main opponents they encountered were them. But that's not the worst part...

Waiting until the American Independence Day on July 4th, there is another super movie that people may not notice at this time, but everyone will know about it when it is mentioned in later generations-"Forrest Gump", this "Back to Home" To the Future" series directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks, the American-themed film, not only has a burst of word-of-mouth, but also a very long-term box office bomb - in fact, it is the North American box office in 1994 in history champion.

You thought it was over?

No wonder!

Less than two weeks after "Forrest Gump" was released, James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger's "True Lies" is coming, and this is the real terminator. Although this film has a relatively low input-output ratio among the films made by Cameron, it is also relative to Cameron himself. To others, it's an out-and-out Jaws.

Especially as a film made with a lot of investment and special effects, it is very capable of grabbing the screens of theaters. When it is released, even if "Fatal Turn" is not killed by a stick, the number of screens that will be screened will definitely shrink significantly.

——This is the schedule for the release of "Fatal Turn". It can be said that there is a wolf in front, a tiger in the back, and a lion next to it.

"How did you and Mr. Producer choose such a schedule!?"

After listening to Charlotte's introduction, Charlize didn't know what to say. Although she doesn't know how fierce "Forrest Gump" is yet to be released at this time, the strength of "Speed" and "The Lion King" that are currently being screened is already clear--as for "The Real lie"? Don't forget the T-800 poster in Charlize's house. Any movie starring the future governor will naturally get a box office bonus of more than 20% in the eyes of the blonde girl.

"Catching up with such a schedule, our box office will definitely be greatly affected?"

"Not necessarily."

Although such a schedule is set more to catch the heat of Allen's case, it does not mean that Charlotte has not considered the opponent's problem. In fact, from the future, he is more aware of the strength of his opponents than others.

"Although the ability of these films to attract money is very strong, it does not mean that there is no way out for us. In fact, considering the type of film, "Fatal Turn" can completely coexist with them. After all, "Life and Death" Velocity and True Lies are action movies, while The Lion King and Forrest Gump are family-friendly, which doesn’t have a serious audience overlap with horror movies.”

"Really?"

A look of disbelief was evident on Charlize's face.

"certainly."

Charlotte showed great confidence. After all, in his memory, whether it is the United States or China,

Every year during the period when blockbusters gather, there will always be one or two small-budget genre films that break through the encirclement. This is enough to prove that even in the face of the encirclement and suppression of commercial blockbusters, as long as the quality of the film is excellent, and then focus on the market segment, it can still be a small hit.

"The opponent I am more worried about now is not these four movies, but the "Wolf" that will be released tomorrow?"

""Wolf"!?"

As a fan of Arnold and Sylvester, in the recent or upcoming movies, Charlize actually only cares about "True Lies" except for her own "Fatal Turns". She didn't even notice the movie "Wolf", so Charlotte had no choice but to introduce it to her:

""Wolf" is a thriller with a fantasy component, which basically overlaps with the audience of our movie. And the leading actors of this movie are Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer."

"The clown and catwoman are the hero and heroine!?"

Hearing the last sentence, Charlize immediately became interested, but Charlotte couldn't help but want to let out a sigh.

——I guessed that she would react like this!

Although "The Shining" is Jack Nicholson's masterpiece, in fact, in the old version of "Batman", the clown he played is also very classic-in other words, no matter the new version or the old version of "Batman", the The villains played well, there is only a difference between good and better, and the old and new generations of clowns are among the best. It is the actual protagonist of the movie, Batman Master Bruce Wayne, who is often not brilliant, or even has zero sense of existence.

——In other words, "Batman" is actually a series supported by villains! ?

Charlotte suddenly felt that she had discovered a very cruel reality, especially for the Batmen of all ages.

As for Michelle Pfeiffer, this sexy girl has also played the villain in the Batman series, of course, as well as the heroine - she is the cat in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" in 1992 female. Although this movie has received mixed reviews from the public because of Tim Burton's obsession with the dark gothic style, Michelle's sexy and dangerous Catwoman has become a classic in film history. Afterwards, whether it was Halle Berry's Black Pearl version or Anne Hathaway's completely reconstructed version, they all seemed insignificant in front of Michelle's version.

Well, thinking about it now, even Charlotte herself is somewhat interested in this "Wolf" where the clown and Catwoman are CPs. Unfortunately, he hadn't seen this movie before traveling, so it was difficult to judge whether it would pose a threat to "Fatal Turn".

"However, although I am very interested in such a CP combination, I always feel that the combination of the clown and catwoman is very wrong!"

Charlotte was talking to herself, and finally made this "Wolf" the main opponent of "Fatal Twist".
