Legendary Hollywood Director

The time has entered November, and the heroine of "Prada" has still been decided.

It's Anne Hathaway, with a salary of 7 million and no revenue share.

I don't know if it's caa's credit, or she figured it out on her own. After all, if she blindly participates in niche literary films and doesn't win awards, it won't help her career as an actress much.

While David Frankel was busy preparing for the crew, "Monster in the Lake" also entered the promotion period.

The movie is scheduled to be released in mid-November, just in time for the warm-up period of the Christmas schedule.

As for why not choose the latter point, directly intervene in the Christmas file, and gain the most audience base, but this year's competition pressure is a bit high, and it will inevitably hurt both sides.

You must know that the works released after the year include Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Disney's magical masterpiece "The Magic Kingdom of Narnia", and Warner's ace sequel "King Kong". Harry Potter 4: The Goblet of Fire.

None of these three are weak.

Although Lehman is also very confident in his film and thinks that the box office will not be bad, but if we can not confront it head-on, everyone discussed and made money, and there is a way.

We are not enemies of life and death. Lyman and Peter Jackson still have occasional contact, which is really unnecessary.

And to please the audience and fans, the disadvantages of getting together must be greater than the advantages.

Not to mention, the distribution of "Monster in the Lake" is still in charge of Warner, and it can't compete with "Harry Potter".

Lehmann decided on the timing of the screening after thinking about it for a long time, so he began to arrange the main creator of the crew to cooperate with the last wave of publicity, and then waited to enter the theater.

At the same time, on November 4, Disney's animated film "Chicken Story" was released.

This film, which took three years and cost 60 million US dollars, simply created a worrying little chicken through an anthropomorphic animal world. It will worry about the sky falling because of a little trouble, so it reacts too strongly. ......

I have to say that although Disney Animation has passed its peak period and was beaten back and forth by DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Animation and Pixar Animation, the foundation is still there.

The production quality of "Chicken Story" is quite good, and it is very popular among children.

As a result, in the first three days of screening, a young-oriented work accumulated a total of 40.04 million box office in North America and directly landed at the top of the weekly box office list. It's a good start to the schedule fight at the end of the year.

While the media praised, they exclaimed that Disney's sword is not old, and Disney animation can continue to fight for another ten years. As everyone knows, Disney has lost the crown of the animation film field, which is caused by multiple reasons, not because the enemy is too powerful.

Is this the reason? First of all, it is the production cycle. It takes three or four years for an animated film to be completed at every turn, and the bulk of the expenditure during this period is on the salary of painting talents;

Second, it is the progress of the times, abandoning the traditional hand-painting of Disney, and entering the computer 3D drawing like Blue Sky, DreamWorks, and Pixar;

Thirdly, is it that the management has the intention to transform Disney, vigorously support the production of live-action movies, and deliberately ignore its own animation industry, and Disney animation also has a drawback, there are too many free-range hand-painted employees, and it has reached the point where layoffs have to be made. At that time, otherwise, unless I return to the creative ability of the 1990s and can come up with another "Lion King", it will still be a burden.

Furthermore, even if Disney's management is willing to change and embrace new technologies, those hand-painted employees will not agree. In the United States, large-scale layoffs will definitely lead to the obstruction of labor unions, and Disney is simply powerless to resist the torrent of technology replacement.

On November 9, just a week after the release of "Chicken Story", when there was no live-action movie that could hold the fight between goblins in North American theaters, "Monster in the Lake" held its premiere as scheduled.

Previously, in Warner's test screening, the top executives of the theater chain were unanimously optimistic about the film. Considering the big box office data of commercial films, the chain theater chain dealers headed by Emperor Entertainment Group directly arranged for "Monster in the Lake". More than 2,800 opening screens, 30% of the film.

This is already a priority level of support, especially as a popular time period, "Monster in the Lake" naturally cannot occupy it alone.

Released in the same period, only Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon's music biographical film "Walking with the Song", which may have an impact, has only more than 1,300 screens, and is better than "In the Lake" in every aspect. "Water Monster" is one level weaker.

In the mansion in Beverly Hills, Lyman put on a formal suit and watched Eva carefully tie his tie.

"Okay." Eva said with satisfaction.

......

With the help of his agent, Matthew McConaughey has been participating in various auditions recently, and he has been preparing for absurd comedies that he would never have seen before. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Maybe it's out of scruples, or it's superstition that people who fail will bring bad luck. In short, after so many days, he still hasn't received any chance to act, not even a supporting role.

In the same way, it also made Matthew see a reality clearly. It is the norm in Hollywood to step on the low. It is not a personal charm at all. In the past, he flattered him, and in turn, it was a mockery.

After countless encounters, Matthew gave up the days of continuing to participate in the audition and was rejected, and patiently waited for the opportunity Lehman said, that is, after the movie was released, relying on the performance to restore the decline in his career.

After the movie is set, maybe he is the one who is looking forward to it.

His career was at a slump and his girlfriend was separated. Matthew just wanted to take advantage of the movie's release to change to a more comfortable environment.

......

When Lehmann got off the car, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the open space of the Chinese Grand Theater~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The air infected by a large number of fans became anxious.

They shouted, they were excited, held up movie posters in their hands, or responded enthusiastically to every big star who came to cheer.

Although Lehmann is a director, he can't keep a low profile because of the famous Eva standing next to him.

In fact, he has already accumulated a lot of die-hard fans through his works. Of course, behind the scenes and in front of the stage are still incomparable. Everyone may appreciate Spielberg's talent, or go to the theater to support Cameron, but they Will you chase after the director like you chase after the star actor?

This is obviously not possible.

Favorite things, hidden in the heart, and expressed, are two different things.

Therefore, in the heat wave caused by Lehman and Eva's appearance together, it is not surprising that I can only hear Eva's name alone. From her debut to the present, Eva has walked steadily, and nothing Black material, in the eyes of the public, has a feeling of a perfect lover.

Of course, it would be more perfect if there was no man standing next to her.
