Chapter 177: Counterattack
"The casting hasn't started yet... OK, I'll notify you if there is any news... No, don't come, I've had a lot of things recently and can't get enough time... Well, that's it."
Du An hung up the phone, leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. He held the phone in front of him for a long time, thinking whether he wanted to change the number.
It was just a call from an actress. Du An didn't know the actor named Jiang Yi at all, and he didn't know how she got her phone number.
Since the news of the project of "Liberation Day" has been spread, this topic has been the hottest topic in the media recently. All newspapers and magazines reported from various angles, and even Du An has not stopped. In a few days, all kinds of unknown people have always called in. Basically, the actors recommend themselves, either implicitly or directly, and those who invite him to dinner for a meal were all for this project. Moreover, these people are not unknown people, and many of them are second-tier stars.
It’s no wonder these celebrities are so arrogant. After all, this is a 400 million-dollar project, the highest-investment movie in history. Not to mention, the title of “the highest-investment in history” is destined to not be ordinary. Even if you are not lucky and not very successful, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. If you can star in this movie, you will really become famous overnight. Those who are a little famous will be even more famous. The rise in status and the increase in value is a foregone conclusion.
Some of the actresses acted very shy on the phone and wanted to meet and talk in detail. It seemed that there was something that was inconvenient to say on the phone and what was inconvenient to say on the phone that they were inconvenient to say on the phone that they were inconvenient to say on the phone that they were inconvenient to talk in detail?
To be honest, he is not a sage. The first time he received such a call, Du An was still quite moved when he heard the actor on the other end of the phone say this. After all, he had also seen the female star he told him about at that time in the media. He was beautiful and had a good figure. For a man with normal physiological functions and was in the peak of energy, this temptation was really great. However, when he thought that he had a girlfriend, his turbulent thoughts immediately went out.
Moreover, he didn't have the final say in this movie alone. Even if Shu Yu is basically the only one who follows him, Han Sanping is not a vegetarian. In the end, Du An didn't want to mess up the project because of his own personal desire. After all, it was a project worth 300 million. Once it was compensated, it would be very painful for the three parties.
"No wonder there are so many troubles in the entertainment industry..."
Duane muttered to himself with his cell phone.
Facing such naked temptation, which man can not be moved? Fortunately, he has many factors to consider, otherwise, he may fall into it.
He looked at the phone for a long time, but finally put it down and picked up the files on the table to look.
This is what Lu Fanghe came to read for him, about the box office of "Terminator".
In the subsequent release of the second week, "Myth" was still weighing on "Terminator" just like the previous two days. The box office gap was still not obvious, and it was basically a state of progressing side by side, but "Myth" was always on the top.
Du An even wondered if his method was useless.
However, on Friday, yesterday's box office data showed that his method finally took effect.
64.5 million, this is the single-day box office result of Terminator on Friday, while Mythology's single-day box office was 61 million on Friday.
After being suppressed by "Myth" for 8 days, "Terminator" finally took the throne of the championship, of course, it was only a single day. If it were the total box office since its release, "Myth" would still be the champion.
"Myth" and "Terminator" both chose to open in the evening instead of in the early morning, so the box office on the premiere last Friday was not calculated on the day of the day, but that's the case, the full-day box office on this Friday is still not comparable to the premiere day. This is also normal. Generally speaking, the box office on the first three days is the highest, and it will get lower and lower in the future. The two movies "Myth" and "Terminator" can still achieve such results in the second week, which is already considered excellent quality and stamina. "Myth" was overtaken in a single day, which shows that Duane's method has achieved results.
Originally, the difference between the two movies was not big, and they were basically the same, and the method Duane threw out was a big straw.
Under the overwhelming media reports, many people knew that a movie with the highest investment in history was about to be put into production. The director of this movie has been decided, it is Du An, yes, the one who was the famous young director who killed Xu Ke in May. He, who just released a movie in May, has now brought a new movie and is being screened in the theater.
The most invested movie in history, the audience is looking forward to this gimmick alone, but this movie has not been filmed yet, and no matter how fast it is, it will have to wait until next year. However, they can watch "Terminator" first.
The director of this movie with the highest investment in history is the director of "Terminator". Some of the audience who couldn't wait and didn't know that "Terminator" entered the theater and wanted to see what the director of the movie with the highest investment in history is. Is that the movie worth looking forward to? Some of them have heard of "Terminator" but didn't watch it. When they opened the newspaper every day, they were Duane, and even "Terminator", they finally couldn't sit still and had the mentality of going to watch it. Others, they had watched "Terminator" and knew that Duane was about to direct a movie with the highest investment in history. They were even more excited and couldn't help but go to the cinema to watch it again, unlike the first time they watched it. This time, they had some of the meaning of watching history.
What will be tomorrow? Will it continue to overtake?
This is Duane’s question now.
And this matter was verified the next day.
With 89.7 million to 75 million, Terminator continued to overtake and widen the gap further.
As the box office of all the films on Saturday has rebounded compared to yesterday, but the rebound like "Terminator" is still the only one.
...
"... Yesterday, the single-day box office of "Terminator" closed at 94.3 million, ranking first in the single-day box office, and the second place was "Myth", with a single-day box office of 67.3 million."
Lu Fanghe was reading the information with the information.
This is the conference room of DreamWorks. It is Monday, and Duane also came to attend the regular meeting.
"Compared with Saturday's single-day box office data, the decline in "Myth"'s Sunday box office is normal. After all, it has been released to the second week. Moreover, the box office on Sunday's night has always been incomparable to Saturday, while the box office trend of "Terminator" is abnormal. Compared to Saturday, it is still rising in a reverse direction, which is extremely unreasonable."
Lu Fanghe reported seriously, and a chuckle sounded in the conference room.
Lu Fanghe himself laughed, "But we are happy to see such unreasonableness. If you analyze the reason, it is related to the news of Director Duane's new film project last week. The social communication effect caused by this news has tapped out all the potential of "Terminator", which has created such unreasonable situations. I suggest that we applaud Director Duane."
Speaking of this, he put down the information and took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the conference room immediately followed suit and applauded.
Du An sighed in his heart: No wonder he can become a manager. Every time he flatters, he always flatters. Work ability is important, and the ability to flatter is also important.
"After the box office on Sunday, the weekly box office last week also came out. "Terminator" took the three-day overtake over the weekend as the fulcrum, with a total weekly box office of 571.4 million, surpassing the 545.4 million weekly box office of "Myth" and won the throne of the weekly box office championship."
"Finally, as of yesterday, Terminator was released for 11 days, with a total box office of 880.4 million,"
After flattering, Lu Fanghe continued to report, but stopped when he arrived here.
Although this is not the first time he has read this report, he is still a little dazed when he looks at this report.
With this momentum, it is already a foregone conclusion that the global box office of "Terminator" has exceeded 2 billion yuan, and their DreamWorks will finally release a movie with a single-film box office of over 2 billion yuan?
"Continue." Duane reminded Lu Fanghe.
Lu Fanghe came back to his senses and continued to report, "The Myth" was released for 11 days, with a total box office of 878.4 million. Since its release, the Terminator has achieved a leading position with a box office advantage of 2 million. According to analyst estimates, such an advantage is likely to be maintained and continue to expand."
Although "Terminator" can translate "Myth" and everyone can see all the measures in it, Lu Fanghe still involuntarily had a strange idea in his mind: Could it be that being handsome really has an added bonus to the box office of the movie?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Duan and found that Duan was looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemed meaningful, as if saying: Give up resistance, this is a world of looking at faces. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
