Chapter 1001: can't be left behind

Saturday, July 18.

Scarlett got into the agent's car, set off from home, and stopped within 20 minutes. The agent who completed the driver's task waved and watched her client walk into the New Line studio.

She looks quite happy. After all, she is the only female character who has the most dramatic role in "Avengers", so she doesn't have to compete with Gwyneth for the few shots.

It can be said that until this one, her special status as a female superhero began to appear.

"Morning, everyone."

Coming to the fitting room, Scarlett greeted several staff members.

"morning."

Just sitting down and being fiddled with the desired hairstyle, Scarlett suddenly asked, "Where's the director, what time do we start?"

"It's a small meeting, maybe we can start filming around 10 o'clock." The stylist replied in an uncertain tone.

"Oh......"

Thinking about the results of "Steel 2", I don't know what will happen to this more powerful project.

"It's all here, right, okay, let me talk about the things that need attention during the shooting."

On the other side, in the studio room, the heads of the various departments of the crew, as well as representatives of the labor union, the resident representative of the fire insurance, Ryan, Kevin, Thomas and others gathered together.

"Because this is the first time a superhero has assembled, the first point is to keep it confidential. I don't want to see the content of the filming on the set spread all over the place before the movie has entered the promotion stage, understand? Don't let it out in advance. For the actors, everyone can only have their own line storytelling. In addition, for security work, don't let unrelated people sneak in and take pictures." At the end of this sentence, Lehmann looked at the crew. The guarantor of various insurances is the Fire Fund.

Of course, the cast and crew won't last long in Hollywood without this sense of secrecy, so it's just a wake-up call to skip it.

"How's the communication with New York City Hall?"

"They promised to cooperate with us, but the shooting of the road section can only be done in the early hours of the morning." The location team said.

"It can be arranged..."

A morning meeting lasted for more than two hours. With such a large project, there were a lot of chores that needed to be determined every day, but when it was turned on, it was easier, at least for Lehmann.

......

The competition for the top spot among Hollywood actors is actually quite fierce.

When the older generation of movie stars retire, the milk stinkers (that is, idol niche students) are extremely restricted by age. Whether they can make a smooth transition or not is another matter. This also makes the new generation of superstars with good popularity and achievements and lasting appeal more and more. not enough.

It’s just that male actors are more universal than actresses. The strange thing is that although the proportion of male Hollywood movie fans is larger, in terms of support and purchasing power, female audiences have always been preferred. This is why women More and more actors can only be vases, which is the choice of the market, not the choice of capital.

After all, for any studio, there are not many good female themes, but the male actors are targeted, and the risk is lower.

From this perspective, the pursuit of popularity and the need to bring the greatest possible benefits will be most valued.

For today's Leo, "Inception" is to put a layer of gold paint on his golden statue, and he has become more shining.

Even if everyone has different criteria for judging success, after the first day, the film's very powerful sales curve of "Friday=Saturday>Sunday" can basically be regarded as a long-term trend.

In other words, the sci-fi blockbuster, which cost 160 million US dollars and did not count the publicity expenses, directly saw the falling line of 300 million in North America.

In the car driving to Ohio, Leo learned from the very happy agent that "Inception" won the box office of 60.4 million US dollars, airborne the top of the weekly chart, and the single-hall screening data of 16,000 US dollars.

Is 60.4 million high in the first week?

not tall.

The monster-level sales figures have been exaggerated in recent years, and "Avatar" has only been drawn for a few months.

But this result is more than 8 million higher than the predicted box office of the Columbia headquarters. According to them, this movie has Leo and Heath Ledger, and it is indeed very attractive to fans, but fans alone are the most. The data on the first day is brighter, and the decline will be rapid. After all, "Pirates of Dreams" is an original project, and its theme itself has no audience base at all.

Another example.

Since "Titanic", Leo's personal best opening result is the "Island of Doubt" in collaboration with his old partner Martin Scorsese at the end of 2009.

But now, the US$60.4 million of "Inception" has become the highest first-week box office of his career as an actor, and its final figure has surpassed the US$165 million of "How to Get Away with Murder", becoming the second film to surpass 200 million in North America. Mark, and even North American 300 million box office works.

Moreover, this kind of data is only in the original science fiction theme, and there is undoubtedly a great possibility of winning the first place in the history, which is why Leo's agent is happy.

For them, Leo has been honing his acting skills over the years Although his market appeal has always been there, it is obviously declining. The real-time performance of the actors is much worse. Under such premise, to receive a film with a good reputation at the box office, it would be really happy, and the superstar style directly stabilized and climbed.

"We were number one, The Witcher's Apprentice was number two, and Toy Story was number three."

The agent happily confronted Leo with the report card, "Listen to Liam, if nothing else happens, we will break through 100 million by next Wednesday, and the world will be around 250 million."

"Yeah. I want to say hello to Director Nolan, Mr. Lehman, and call me." Leo still has a good emotional intelligence. Even if he is tired from running announcements every day, he doesn't miss any greetings, of course. Yes, other actors are similar, even if they don't mention it, the agent is very happy to maintain the relationship between the directors.

After hanging up the phone, driving into the event location, and getting off the car, many reporters were surrounded.

"Leo, can you talk about the results of "Inception"? What do you think of the 60.4 million won in the first week, becoming a new benchmark for your career."

"Can you share your thoughts on the character of Cobb? He killed his wife because of his self-righteous arrogance."

"What do you think of Director Nolan?"

These are reporters who have been specially taken care of by the event party or Sony and Blue Butterfly Pictures. The questions asked are not pitiful, they are very routine, and he is in a very good mood. Just like the agent's excitement, the "Inception" Existence alleviates the embarrassment that his works have not been popular in recent years, even if he is to get rid of the image of the stinky school, actively transform, and pave the way for career planning with mature acting skills that are gradually recognized by the audience.

People like him are also afraid of falling behind.
