hollywood draw

Just as Wayne and his friends were stepping up post-production, a big event quietly happened at the Hollywood film industry base.

Since entering 1993, news has been circulating in the circle that Paramount, the only large-scale film production and distribution company stationed in Hollywood, has also launched a huge money offensive by Viacom.

This remaining traditional production company and distribution company is basically infinitely close to Viacom's embrace. From then on, Hollywood will have no independent large-scale production and distribution company, and officially enters the era of fierce competition among media giants!

No one knows when Viacom started the offensive, but the recent news that even the few people hiding in the Warner Bros. late-stage studios clearly know that the production and distribution giant is about to enter turmoil.

The acquisition case was always accompanied by panic among the original company, which caused several major productions, including Forrest Gump, which Paramount was producing, to experience turmoil that should not have.

Sony Columbia is also deeply touched by this. Since the film and television production giant was acquired by Sony, it has been in pain. The mysterious operations of the company's local executives hired by the company have also caused Akio Morita to suffer enough.

At this moment, Renney Harlem, the producer and director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a project invested by Colombia, is discussing the release of the film with Paul Turner, the director of the distribution department.

The filming of this film was completed earlier and should have been able to catch up with the Christmas season in 1992, but it was put into the summer season in 1993 after a series of considerations from the company's executives.

This film, starring Sylvester Stallone, will be the first project that Columbia Pictures started in the summer season. However, there was a surprise when the schedule was selected. Wayne Greenberg, who has been successful in box office in the past two years, has also been scheduled for the new project in mid-May.

In this way, the two films will inevitably collide together, and fierce competition will inevitably begin!

"That idiot Evans, he was forced to resign by the Japanese halfway through the plan. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about this damn thing!" Evans, whom Paul Turner mentioned, was another director of the issuance department. Some time ago, he was forced to resign by Japanese CEO due to economic problems.

"Our films are never afraid of head-on competition, Paul!" Renny Harlem doesn't care about these small tricks. It's good if they succeed, but there's no loss if they fail. In Hollywood in this era, Sylvester Stallone is the biggest box office guarantee.

"What do you think of our video? Does "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have no strength to compete with "The Joker"?"

Facing the extremely confident director and producer, Paul Turner sighed lightly. The other party's pride made him look down on a young man, but the more information he learned, the less he was willing to compete head-on with that young man.

The plan Evans originally thought of was very good, but unfortunately, he was interrupted once, and then gave up the subsequent actions because of his resignation.

"Renie, if you really want to hear my answer, I will tell you that if you really know that director, you will never want to meet that "dark madman"!" As an executive of a distribution department of a giant company, his voice was full of incredible.

Despite seeing the other person's face, Paul continued, "Renie, you should really know your opponent. From my years of experience, the Greenberg child was born to save stylized movies.

As another stylized film of his stylized film, we can find from the first two successful works that with his progress, this is definitely a work that combines all the previous success factors and is a great success in his current ability. Do you think there is any possibility of failure?

Don’t forget, Renny, this "The Legend of the Sun" is not an action movie. Sylvester Stallone left the traditional action movie he is good at. No one could predict the result!"

As soon as Paul Turner finished speaking, Rennie was so angry that she wanted to get up and leave. He came here to discuss with the other party how to overwhelm the other party in publicity, rather than listening to him praise the competitor!

"Clang!" "Clang"!

He stretched out his hand and knocked the table twice, and Renny Harlem's face instantly became very ugly. "Our films are not without advantages, and Stallone's appeal is definitely not comparable to that little actor named Cage. Moreover, the film made by that child was an R-level film, which caused the film to suffer a lot in the audience!"

His words are not completely unreasonable. What type of film is suitable for summer season? At least those large-scale bloody and dark films are definitely not suitable for their own inspirational films.

There has never been a secret in Hollywood. Warner Bros. once asked Wayne to modify the film's scale and lower the film's rating to PG13, but was rejected by that director at the beginning of the film's preparation.

Most companies that received the news felt that Warner Bros. was too indulging in this young director because of his success.

Just like the reasons given by Renney Harlem, these reasons temporarily dispel Paul Turner's concerns. "Okay, maybe you're right..."

"Paul, we'd better discuss the promotional plan. It's certain that we'll collide with that child's new film, unless you're willing to change the schedule!"

"It is impossible to change the schedule!" There is no room for negotiation on this matter, and Paul Turner cannot set a precedent.

No matter how intense the outside world discussed Paramount's change of ownership, these did not affect Wayne, who was in the later studio. The third fine cut of the film finally came to an end today, and the general effect of the film has begun to appear.

Several people had a faint feeling of fatigue on their faces, and even John, who was usually extremely neat, had his beard covered with his cheeks. Now that the film was officially completed, what was missing was a simple soundtrack and a little special effects.

There was no excitement of shouting or embracing each other intimately when the cooperation was completed. The four men looked at each other and gently raised their hands to applaud each other. The complicated and difficult work of the two months was finally completed in their hands, bit by bit.

"Check it out last, let's go back early today to rest, and we will add a soundtrack to the film as soon as possible tomorrow." Wayne's voice was full of laziness, and the high-intensity and careful work finally passed, which made him breathe a lot of relief.

The post-production work of this film is entirely due to Wayne gritting his teeth and increasing the speed. In another week, the Super Bowl will be the one. Missing this super promotion channel may make me regret it to death.

A thirty-second trailer for "The Joker" has been edited. As long as you give it priority to add background music and dubbing, you can immediately send it to this "American Spring Festival Gala" through Warner Bros.

The influence of this stage is unparalleled. As the most popular sports event in North America, it attracts three times more TV viewers every year than MLB (American Professional Baseball) and NBA Finals.

There is also a legendary statistics about the Super Bowl, with about 120 million voters participating in the US presidential election, while about 130 million people participating in the Super Bowl in North America each year.

Of course, this is not a statistics made by authoritative media or investigative agencies, but even so conservatively estimates that there are tens of millions of people. North American people have always regarded the Super Bowl as a national carnival day, and it is even called the informal American National Day.

At that time, "The Joker" will be the first movie trailer to log in to the Super Bowl midfield advertising show. The film will appear on TV screens in more than 180 countries and regions through more than 200 media outlets around the world.

Wayne doesn't remember when Hollywood began to promote new films in the Super Bowl. However, now, this kind of publicity method, which has huge investment but better results, was once ignored by Hollywood.

As the first video to eat crabs, "The Joker" will definitely have the best publicity effect.

"To be honest, Wayne, I'm still a little worried!" John is different from Zach Schneider. He is not a comic fan at heart, so he is still full of worries after seeing the film.

"The effects we have seen so far, although there is less soundtrack and some special effects, this should be no different from the final film. Judging from the feeling after watching this, this is a very good story, but all I have brought to me is depression and cruelty. If the film is so alternative..."

Although the producer didn't finish his words, the few people in the room understood what he meant. After watching this video, it was like hollowing out people instead of filling them up like most videos.
