After a short half-day rest, the crew chartered a flight to New York the next day. This time, Jeffrey still brought someone to pick him up. There is also a team from Firefly here, responsible for the preliminary preparations for "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and "Home Imperial 2 Lost New York".

Compared to when he was in Seattle, most of them were the scenes of Jonah and his son.

The shooting of the New York scene is much troublesome. Just from the role, "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" includes not only Anne's family, but also Anne's friends, colleagues, etc.

Eric thinks that such a plot design is likely to be to weaken Anne's boyfriend Walter's presence, just like showing only a few shots of Sam's deceased wife Maggie.

Although it was indeed a very romantic love story for Sam and Anne.

But for Walter, who is already engaged to Anne, it was a bit sad to be dumped for a "inexplicable" reason during the Valentine's Day date.

Eric remembers that some of the movie reviews I saw in his previous life had comments on this matter, which were roughly criticisms of Anne's infidelity and sympathy for Walter. However, in this country with a divorce rate of 50%, it seems that people don't care much about these things. To put it bluntly, people in this country are pursuing two words: freedom.

Eric remembers not knowing that there was a saying that true freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about not doing what you don’t want to do.

Although this sentence is suspected of being mysterious, it is very suitable for Anne in "Sleeping in Seattle". Even if she is engaged, she still refuses the other party without hesitation when she finds that Walter is not the one she is destined to be.

"How are the discussions on the Empire State Building and the Twin Towers?" After getting off the plane and boarded a business car with Jeffrey. Eric's first words were two things he paid more attention to.

These two things are about "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and "Home Imperial 2". Jonah and Kevin will be on the two tallest buildings in New York for filming. Until the filming of "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" starts, these two things have not been confirmed.

"It's all done," Jeffrey gave Eric a reassuring look, and then said: "However, the management of the two buildings does not give much time."

"It's okay. There are not many shots anyway, mainly the Empire State Building. The shots on the top of the Twin Towers only require a few aerial shots." Eric nodded with satisfaction.

Jeffrey said again: "There is one more thing. Regarding snow, I consulted the meteorological department in detail. The first snow in New York will have to wait until November at the earliest. It may be in the first week of November, but it is not very certain. After all, it is only September, you know. The weather forecast has never been accurate. Maybe we are lucky, but it will snow at the end of October, or it may be bad. It won't snow until "Home Imperial" is released in New York. In short, you have to be mentally prepared."

Eric nodded: "It's nothing. Just ask someone to prepare artificial snow. I try to put the outdoor scene of "Home Imperial 2" at the end of filming, but it won't delay it for a long time, so I think 90% of the time it is possible to use artificial snow."

"I've made an estimate based on your script, although there is no need to cover the scene. However, artificial snow must be at the point where the audience believes it. The budget will increase by about $1.5 million."

Eric could hear that Jeffrey was so painful in his tone, and he patted Jeffrey on the shoulder. Although Fireflies are getting bigger and bigger, Jeffrey is still the one who likes to be careful when Eric met. However, such a personality is also the most suitable for producers: "Jeffrey, after all, it's not last year. When we produced the first "Home Imperial", we had to be careful. In order to save budgets, we even had to go to a small town in faraway northern Canada to shoot. But our film's budget is very loose, so there is no need to save money at all."

"I also know that I just subconsciously thought that if I change the schedules of "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and "Home Imperial 2", maybe the 1.5 million will be saved."

Eric smiled and said, "According to what you said, we finally waited for the natural snowfall, but we could save the 1.5 million yuan. However, because "Home Imperial 2" was postponed to Christmas, we may lose tens of millions in the box office as a result. You should know that from the box office trend of the previous "Home Imperial", it can be seen that this is a children's movie that is very suitable for long-term screenings, so we must extend the period within the festival as much as possible. Late November is the beginning of the Christmas box office peak."

"Then why not put "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" in late November? Even if it doesn't form a vicious competition with "Home Imposses 2", I think it's OK to postpone it for a week." Jeffrey asked again.

"Because "Seattle Sleeping Night" is not only for Christmas, but also for the Valentine's Day schedule in February, because this is a romantic comedy, if one month in advance, then by February, the popularity of this film will almost be exhausted. But around December 24, after two months of screening, the box office of this love movie can rebound once after entering the Valentine's Day schedule. You know, my movies, the large-scale box office harvest cycle, are all over eight weeks. For example, last year's first "Home Imperial" won the box office championship for 10 weeks, and the later "Fengyue Pretty" and "Dark War" are both like this."

Jeffrey smiled and said, "I really don't know where you learned these things from. I originally wanted to tell you about the schedule of "Far Cry" and you encouraged Michael Eisner to put "Far Cry" on November 1. I also think it's very inappropriate. Halloween is indeed suitable for the release of horror movies, but those are small-produced horror movies with no box office ambitions. Although "Far Cry" is also a small-produced production, we have high expectations for its box office. Now it seems that you must have your own ideas."

Eric nodded and did not explain to Jeffrey again, and Jeffrey had no intention of asking.

In fact, the concept of film schedules in the United States is now quite mature, but it is still very rough after more than 20 years.
