Chatty Hollywood

? In Charlotte’s original time and space, the last straw that overwhelmed MGM was John Wu’s "Windtalkers"——

MGM would invest in this war blockbuster that cost more than 100 million US dollars, and it was originally meant to be a big gamble until death.

But if the movie can make a profit, even if it's not much, there's no problem if MGM can survive for a while or even come back from the dead.

However, in the 21st century, the film aesthetic of John Wu, who has always relied on white pigeons and unlimited bullets to conquer the world, has gradually fallen behind since "A Better Tomorrow", which made "Little Ma" famous all over the world.

This is actually true on both sides of the Pacific.

It's just that in the American film market, this point appeared earlier and more obviously...

In short, in the same time and space as Charlotte's original film, "Windtalkers", which was released in the summer of 2002, also lost money.

MGM's original plan to make a big gamble to survive was a failure, and John Wu was blacklisted by major Hollywood studios.

However, MGM's complete collapse was somewhat beyond the expectations of the other six major Hollywood companies.

——For a large company as big as MGM, everyone originally thought that it would only die slowly.

This sudden death has disrupted the original plans of many companies——

You know, because of its previous annexation of United Artists Pictures, founded by Chaplin and others, MGM was once the largest film and television company in Hollywood. Its film library was extremely large, and a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.

Now that it has collapsed, its exaggerated massive film library and various resource reserves have become a huge cake with unlimited temptation.

From the Big Six in Hollywood to second- and third-tier film and television companies like New Line and Lionsgate, they all want to take a bite.

——In this case, everyone couldn't help but start fighting for it, and other things that they were originally concerned about were relatively relaxed.

Of course, this time period is very short.

—After all, "Windtalkers" was released in early September.

From its poor market response to MGM's admission that the project failed,

It didn't take long for the news to break out within MGM.

Most other film and television companies are also caught off guard and find it difficult to respond in time.

However, as a time traveler, Charlotte knew this.

He had long planned to take advantage of the collapse of MGM and the temporary disorder caused by the chain reaction within Hollywood to fish in troubled waters——

Merging other small companies and forming a North American distribution network is the most critical step.

——Now he succeeded.

However, it is still unclear whether this kind of creation of a distribution network out of thin air and too fast is really feasible.

Therefore, as the first film released by Spectre Studio, the film "Death" will attract the attention of major film companies.

David Heyman, as Warner's producer in charge of the "Harry Potter" series, will come to attend the premiere of this horror film, and he also wants to take the opportunity to observe it——

It would be okay if the release of "Death Comes Back" fails, but if it succeeds, it means that Spectre Studio has suddenly become one of the best among second-tier film and television companies in Hollywood.

——After all, with the ability to release profitable movies, and a perverted director like Charlotte who never misses a beat, DreamWorks, which is regarded as the enemy by the Big Six in Hollywood, is nothing more than that.

Of course, this does not mean that once "Death Comes" is successfully released, the Big Six in Hollywood will treat Spectre Studio as a life-or-death enemy and suppress it.

To a large extent, this also depends on the future business policy of Spectre Studio——

If Charlotte, a super director, is still willing to cooperate with the Big Six in Hollywood in the future, hello, me, hello everyone, the Big Six won’t mind another second-tier film and television company in Hollywood;

But if Specter Studio is as aggressive as DreamWorks and looks like it is ready to replace the Big Six at any time, then the Big Six will not be so easy to talk about.

However, the premise of all this is that the release of "Death is Coming" can be successful...

**********

"So far, it seems that Charlotte Booth has picked another good movie!"

Watching the movie being shown, Philip Biermann muttered in his heart.

——Since Warner Bros., who has worked with Charlotte many times, can shoot David Heyman to see the situation, Disney, which is also cooperating with Specter Studio on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, cannot lag behind.

No, Philip Biermann is here too.

However, due to the box office success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the relationship between Disney and Specter Studios is currently in the honeymoon period, and they don't have any other ideas.

——It can be said that Philip Biermann’s mentality at this time is closer to that of the masses.

What he focuses on are more technical issues——

"This "Death Is Coming" is indeed interesting, but in terms of publicity, it is not high-profile!"

Based on his experience in distributing movies at Disney, Philip Biermann felt that there were some problems with Spectre Studios' distribution method.

"If we can do some publicity in newspapers, TV and other media before the movie is released - such as listing such strange cases of escaping a disaster but eventually dying due to other reasons - then it will definitely make the audience I am in a curious state of mind and pay more attention to this movie..."

Philip Biermann feels that as a small-to-medium-cost horror film, it may not be difficult for "Death" to succeed at the box office, but the current distribution plan of Spectre Studio has not fully tapped its potential.

However--

"Twenty-one million dollars in the first week!?"

A few days later, when he saw the box office report of "Death Comes", Philip Biermann felt that he had made a miscalculation——

If the $21 million is the first-week box office of a major commercial production, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a hit;

However, as far as Philip knows, the production cost of the movie "Death Is Coming" should only be a little over 10 million US dollars.

Even if Specter Studios invests more in promoting the release, it is estimated that the total cost will hardly exceed 30 million.

what does that mean?

This means that "The God of Death" may be released for two to three weeks, or at most about a month, and the cost can be recovered through the North American box office.

You know, these R-rated small and medium-cost horror films often do not need to be very high at the box office - they make money from offline DVDs and videos.

But now that the box office performance of "Death is Coming" is quite good, then Spectre Studio will definitely make money by producing and distributing this movie.

And the profit ratio will be very good!

"Why is this so?"

Philip Biermann was puzzled.

However, he quickly realized that studying this kind of distribution technical issue was not the most important thing for him to do at this time——

"Although Spectre Studios has North American distribution channels, they are still powerless in overseas markets - I have to hurry up and grab the overseas distribution rights of the movie "Death Comes"!" ()
