Just as Duke was relaxing on vacation, Nancy Josephson frequently contacted senior executives of many companies such as Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, and tried her best to promote the progress of new film projects. The success of "Brave the Deadly Island" and the sharing of profits that can be obtained in the future gave her endless motivation.

Although far away in New Zealand, Duke still communicates with Nancy every few days, and officially named this science fiction script that closely revolves around July 4th as "Day"!

"The project is tentatively named "Day", and that day and holiday will be the most suitable premiere date for the film."

Faced with many senior executives of Warner Bros., Nancy Josephson is more confident and more powerful than before. She held the conference table with both hands and said in an oppressive tone, "Time is already very tight. If Warner Bros. cannot promote the review and establishment of projects as soon as possible, Director Rosenberg will choose other companies as partners. You must know that Twentieth Century Fox..."

The conference room was filled with Nancy's endless voices. According to her description, "Day" is simply the most popular project in Hollywood.

Warner Brothers' senior executives are not stupid, and they are well-informed enough. They know that 20th Century Fox has indeed had contact with Nancy and Duke. They are still in the initial stage of review and waiting and watching, and there is no clear plan to establish a project; Walt Disney also contacted Nancy Josephson some time ago, but the content of the conversation is unknown.

However, Jeff Robinoff and others are very sure that any company will carefully investigate projects that may cost $100 million, whether it is cooperative investment or public financing.

"Nancy, this is a $100 million investment."

When the female agent finished speaking, Jeff Robinoff, who represented Warner, said, "If the promotion and promotion cost is included, the total investment is likely to be more than $130 million. Warners need enough time to investigate and review these!"

"Jeff, we won't talk about the surroundings of the film." Nancy Josephson's words are still strong. "Just talking about box office, "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" is only $15 million in production costs, but Duke used it to exchange for a total of $350.74 million in box office! Although the cost of "Breaking into the Deadly Island" has risen to $50 million, don't forget that the film's North American box office is $144.88 million now! The overseas box office also exceeds $130 million, and the final box office can even strike 400 million!"

"Let's watch "Sun" again!" Her words were like a cannon. "I admit that the quality of the script is average, and it is definitely a collection of all the vulgar elements in the summer season, but you can't deny that mainstream audiences like to watch these! Moreover, Duke has proved that he has the ability to make ordinary scripts into big-name movies. Isn't the overwhelming explosion scenes in "Sun" what he is best at?"

If it were a new director, Jeff Robinoff would definitely throw this script into the script library and no longer take a look, but the problem is that Duke Rosenberg has succeeded twice in this type of roughly similar film. Who dares to say that he can't succeed the third time?

He doesn't want to be the fool of Twentieth Century Fox and push out the possible achievements.

In fact, Warner Bros. is still hesitating and has not started the formal review process. The main reason is the high risks that will inevitably bring about high production costs.

As a senior agent, Nancy Josephson naturally understood Warner Bros.'s concerns.

"I have a suggestion!" She turned the subject abruptly. "Since Warner believes that investment and risks are too high, why not seek cooperation from the outside? I understand that even after the preliminary review, financing and pre-sales will take time. What if 20th Century Fox joins? We can even attract other film companies to invest together!"

Cooperation between large companies is the norm, and this is also one of the most common ways to avoid investment risks.

After the negotiations, Nancy left Burbank and headed to the Fox Building in Century City. Although Warner Bros. did not make a clear statement, she believed that as the box office figures of "Brave the Deadly Island" continue to increase, the project will progress more and more smoothly!

During the entire June schedule, the North American film market was basically the only one in Jurassic Park. For example, films like "The Legend of the Sun", "Night Visit to Vampire" and "Brave the Deadly Island" that had already had a very gratifying box office, all of which had to stand back.

Eight weeks after its release, the North American box office of "Brave the Deadly Island" finally exceeded the $150 million mark, slowly reaching the figure of $152.24 million. The number of theaters in the film has dropped to 500, and the box office of a single-week single-shop has dropped below $1,500. Although it has not yet broken through the critical point of forced theaters, its potential has basically been consumed.

"Night Visit to Vampire" released at the same time is more miserable than "Brave the Deadly Island". The film's cumulative box office in North America has reached US$97.78 million, about to exceed the 100 million US dollars mark. The box office in a single week has dropped by US$500, which has long exceeded the psychological bottom line of the theaters' $1,000 US dollars. If it weren't for Caa's public relations efforts, the film would have been forced to be removed from the market a few days ago.

Even so, with the few remaining screening time and theaters, the more than 2 million US dollars needed to break through the 100 million yuan mark is simply impossible to complete normally.

However, there will always be people who will push the North American box office of "Night Visit to Vampire" by $100 million. This is not only a difference between a few million dollars, but also a total of two concepts for Hollywood whether the box office of the movie starring and produced is measured in tens of millions or billions. The next film may also enjoy a huge difference.

“$2.3 million is not enough, Pat!”

In the Beverly Hills mansion, Tom Cruise is using the ultimate hair dryer to his agent. "If the video ends up just over $100 million, everyone knows we are making fakes, I want this number to increase to $4 million!"

"Tom, your pay for this video is only $15 million." Pat Kingsley was calm. "If you deduct taxes and necessary expenses, plus the $3 million you invested in the first week, are you going to invest $7 million in the box office of "Night Visit Vampire"? This means that your income in this video may be negative, and you have been doing useless work in the last year!"

"Money can be made again, but I want my movie to have a box office of over 100 million in North America!" Tom Cruise shouted at the top of his lungs.

Nicole Kidman, who has never had a say, sat quietly in the corner of the reception room. Only she knew how angry the proud Tom Cruise was. Recently, the two had quarreled several times and are still sleeping in separate rooms. Whenever she saw her husband who was proud and unrestrained, she felt that it seemed like a wrong decision to marry him.

He has short-sighted eyes and narrow-mindedness. If no one around him gives me some advice, he will always do something brainless, which is simply...

What about Cruise's opponent Duke Rosenberg? Although she had never had a deep relationship, based on observations and some of Naomi Watts' words, she vaguely felt that this was a person with deep thoughts and insights. From the incident where he and Cruise were illusory, it can be seen that as long as the other party seized the opportunity, he would never let it go. After the opportunity passed, he took the initiative to retreat, like a harmless poisonous snake.

Psychologically mature, with evidence of advancement and retreat...

Thinking of this, Nicole Kidman suddenly felt that, besides being more famous and rich, Tom Cruise seemed not as good as the young director in other aspects.

Money and fame can accumulate over time. The only thing young Duke Rosenberg lacks is time, right?

Time can always change too much. In the ninth week of its release, the box office suddenly surged. The box office accumulation of less than $100,000 a day suddenly rose to around $600,000. Although the data can deceive the public and make Mr. Cruise's supporters happy, it can't hide it from the theater. When this weekend passed, "Night Visit to Vampire" was forced to be removed by the North American theater alliance, and the North American box office was stopped at $13.26 million.

Duke also finished his vacation and returned to Los Angeles. Under the coordination of Nancy, he met with senior executives of Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox respectively, and the "Day" project made preliminary progress.

At the same time, the screening of "Brave the Deadly Island" in North America has also reached its final stage, which has only lasted ten days more than "Night Visit to Vampire". After the holiday, he was forcibly driven out of the theater because of his poor performance in the single-stage box office for several consecutive days and his potential was completely exhausted.

In the end, the North American box office of "Brave the Deadly Island" was fixed at $157.52 million. Duke successfully refreshed the North American box office results created by "The Speed ​​of Life and Death". Moreover, the film's overseas box office also performed well. Now the global box office is steadily moving towards the $300 million mark. According to the predictions of several professional institutions, the global box office will inevitably exceed "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" in the end...

Duke has sold two consecutive films, and he has also been noticed by many media and production companies. He even swallowed up MGM from United States and tried Nancy to invite Duke to direct the latest episode of the 007 movie.

If it were before "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", Duke would definitely follow it, but now hesitated to turn it off. Few directors who have opened up the situation in Hollywood will direct the "007" series. The film has a huge reputation and a box office hit. For directors like Duke, it can only be considered icing on the cake at most. After all, few people will remember the credit on the director and will only think that it is the power of the series.

If it fails... such a movie with a wide fan base will fail, it will almost destroy its career.

What's more, Duke has already made plans for himself!

After "Brave the Deadly Island" was released, the film's work in North America also entered its final stage. When theaters divide the film into the account of the distributor Warner Brothers, the new spoils sharing conference kicked off.
