Once again achieved the first place in the North American box office rankings that day.

On this day, Warner's film "Message in a Bottle" only reported $7.1 million, a drop of more than 51%.

With this alone, AOL's power in the emerging media field has shocked countless people. At the same time, it has also made many people see clearly the infinite possibilities of Internet media in the future.

On February 16, the movie "My Big Greek Wedding" received $12.37 million in North America;

On February 17, it continued to report $10.06 million;

On February 18, it reported a box office of $8.1 million;

......

As of the morning of February 21, the movie "My Big Greek Wedding", which has been released for a week, has accumulated more than 91 million US dollars at the North American box office.

No. 1 in the box office chart for a full 7 days, No. 1 in the box office chart for the first weekend, and No. 1 in the box office chart for a full week. …

"My Grand Greek Wedding" under the body of a variety of honors, became famous in the United States.

Word of mouth and box office go hand in hand!

"California Entertainment News" issued an article: "The Greek customs in the film are very different from the scenes in mainstream American films. The real warm family atmosphere, lighthearted and humorous dialogue and clever interpretation of cultural conflicts are touching. "

The "Los Angeles Entertainment News" issued an article saying: "Use the Greek family values ​​skillfully to make jokes. It integrates romance, humor, culture, and identity into one furnace. It is full of deep meaning, and it is moving while laughing."

The two media newspapers "California Entertainment News" and "Los Angeles Entertainment News" were the first to publish the article.

As Wald Pictures' most loyal partners, their articles can be said to be flattering and praiseworthy.

Although not well received by the mainstream media,

They even despise their unscrupulous and bottom-line behavior, but... many moviegoers and melon eaters also like their dog-licking style.

"They are really shameless~"

"But why do I just like to watch them play?"

This is the impression many readers have on the two media, "California Entertainment News" and "Los Angeles Entertainment News".

As for shameless?

Ha ha!

The presidents of the two media newspapers will definitely smile slightly, and then look at the rising performance reports with delight.

"Shameless is shameless, what is it? Why not make money when you have money? Since the cooperation with Wald Pictures, the performance of our two media and newspapers has continued to rise. As for the slander from the outside world, it is completely their jealousy. "

You say, what should other media do?

Since the audience likes to watch touts, for the sake of performance, they can only trumpet with their conscience while collecting money~

The rising box office, high-rated word of mouth, and continuous media coverage have kept the popularity of "My Big Greek Wedding" at a high level.

......

afternoon.

Zucker meets the two directors of "My Big Greek Wedding".

Zach Snyder, Joel Zwick...

"Hi, Zach. Because of our publicity, you have been criticized by many media under Warner's and ridden with negative news. I don't think it will trouble you." Zucker laughed.

Hearing this, Zach Snyder waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, anyway, I made a show of it."

Zucker nodded.

As communicated before, Zach's mentality is as stable as an old dog.

"Joel, the movie "My Big Greek Wedding" asked you to be the second director. In fact, you were the first director during the operation stage. You sacrificed the honor you deserve. I think I should apologize to you."

Zucker stood up suddenly and looked at Joel Zwick, the little old man with glasses and a black baseball cap in front of him with sincerity.

"Hey, don't, don't... I wouldn't have been able to take on such an excellent film if Mr. Wald hadn't given me a chance."

Director Joel Zwick also hurriedly got up from the sofa and said repeatedly

Joel Zwick is a young director who has been a director of TV series for many years, rarely involving movies. Well, even though he has filmed many TV series, due to various reasons, he is still a director in the middle and lower ranks of Hollywood, and his reputation is not obvious.

However, he is extremely good at romantic comedies.

At the same time, he was born in Greece and has lived in Greece for more than 20 years. He is the most suitable director for the movie "My Big Greek Wedding".

But!

Although the production cost of "My Big Greek Wedding" is only $5 million, it is a small-budget film, but Zucker has high hopes for it. Therefore, it was decided that the first director of the film was served by the famous Zack Snyder. Well, of course Zack is a nominal. In fact, the entire film was completed by Joel Zwick from the start of preparation to the completion of the film.

Joel Zwick is the actual director of My Big Greek Wedding.

Now that the film is a success, the director's honor is enjoyed by Zach.

You say, can Joel Zwick not be careful?

It's all about fame and fortune!

"Director Joel Zwick, please accept my apology, otherwise I will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating tonight. However, I also ask you to rest assured."

Zhu Ke said sternly: "It should be your honor, it will definitely be yours. I have already arranged that from next Wednesday, the media forces under my banner will correct your name, you are the "My Grand Greek Wedding" "A real director!"

"thanks!"

Joel Zwick responded.

At this moment, director Joel Zwick was a little excited.

After all, a director like him, who is in the middle and lower classes of Hollywood, and who has been busy for half his life and still has no name, is like a lot of stars. Now Zucker has given him a chance to become famous. You say, can he not be excited?

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Zucker said: "Director Joel, from the end of this month, "My Grand Greek Wedding" will be released overseas in the UK, France, and Germany. publicity."

Released overseas?

trouble me?

Suddenly, Joel Zwick was even more excited.

Where is the trouble!

This shows that Zucker gave him the chance to be famous, and only a fool would refuse.

Director Zach on the side also nodded with great satisfaction.

I have to say that Zhu Ke is now under the control of the human heart and has evolved to a very high level.

......

8 p.m. that night.

Zucker got a call from AOL chairman Steve Case.

"Mr. Wald, you have to thank me for this. Without our participation from AOL, your company's new film will never easily beat Warner's film." Steve Case on the phone said in.

"Thank you, that's it."

The corner of Zucker's mouth raised slightly: "You called, just to confirm again. Don't worry! I, Zucker Wald's integrity, is well-known."

"I can rest assured that."

It didn't take long for the two to end the call.

Why does AOL support Zucker?

In fact, it's a deal!

AOL supported Zucker and competed with Time Warner in the media field, showing some muscles and letting the world see their power in the media field;

Second, Zucker paid a price for lobbying Steve Case.

And the price is not small!
