Chapter 101 Unlimited scenery
It has to be said that the movie "Purge of Humanity" is the first time that Wald Pictures has a huge publicity feeling, and it is much more intense than the publicity before the release of "Juno".
After all, the movie's commercials appeared on "America's Got Talent".
For a time, both "Hercules" produced by Disney and "My Best Friend's Wedding" produced by Colombia were suppressed by "The Human Purge Plan".
This made many companies angry.
Especially those small Hollywood film companies that are already struggling to survive!
Pineapple Film Company.
It is a film company with Malaysian capital. It has been established in Hollywood for more than ten years. The company is located in the Burbank area and has more than 50 employees. It mainly invests in and shoots offline movies and videotapes.
Mueller, the owner of Pineapple Film Company, is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others.
Now, I have been filming offline movies for more than ten years and want to play big things. This time I plan to release a theater movie in the summer.
——"Women from abroad"!
Well, this is the first theater movie produced by Pineapple Films. To this end, they invested $3 million in production costs and the promotional expenses reached $2 million.
The investment scale of US$5 million is also a "high" investment in many small film companies in Hollywood.
In fact, the movies that Pineapple Film Company has invested in over the years are only $6 million.
Now the investment in a movie is almost as close to their previous investments.
This made the employees of Pineapple Film Company extremely excited, or inspiring!
But......
Now they want to die!
"Damn Wald Pictures, too unprotective! Why are they so shameless that they actually promote movies on "America's Got Talent". Isn't this promotional posture let us die?!" Boss Muller was furious.
Other employees of Pineapple Film Company were also filled with righteous indignation and resentment.
"Despicable and shameless!"
"Walder Films should be banned from Hollywood!"
"That's right!"
"It would be fine if we were bullied by the six major Hollywood film companies, but what is Wald Pictures?!"
......
"I wish their new movie "Human Purge Plan" would fail when it is released!"
Sometimes people are like this. Small companies are bullied by big companies, and they will be angry, but they can understand it. It is not natural for large companies to bully small companies. However, once a film company that once had the same position as them, it is difficult for them to accept.
This is like two neighbors with similar wealth. One day, one of them became rich, and the other one would definitely be indignant and even slandered.
In short, because Wald Pictures’ "Human Purge Plan" is so popular, Pineapple Film Company is jealous!
I was jealous!
......
KWD (City of the Universe) Film Company.
A big name can scare people. In fact, KWD Film Company has a low status in Hollywood and belongs to the Moli Film Company. It may not be as good as the Pineapple Group Photo, which is also a Moli Film Company.
"It's so crazy!"
Herave, the owner of the City of Universe Film Company, angrily cursed: "Wald Pictures' promotion is simply disrupting the market. Who does it think he is? Is it the top six in Hollywood? It dares to promote it so loudly, and is not afraid of being choked to death."
Of course Hravi was angry.
Because his company recently produced a movie, and it was released at the same time as "Human Purge Plan". Seeing other people's movies boom, he was of course anxious.
Envy, jealousy is one thing, the most important thing is the benefit!
To be precise, it was Zhuke who blocked other people's wealth!
You should know that in Hollywood in the 1990s, although there were frequent blockbusters and good movies, the output of bad movies also reached a new level.
A popular saying in Hollywood is currently.
"As long as the movie can be used in theaters, no matter how bad it is, the audience will definitely buy it. Even if the online box office is not strong, the offline market is enough to make a small profit for the film company."
It is precisely this irresponsible attitude towards the audience that made Hollywood's star-studded film companies fall down in the late 1990s.
.........
Touchstone Films.
It is also a well-known Hollywood film company and is one of the best among second-tier film companies. Especially after joining Disney, it has been doing well in recent years.
But today, the executives of Touchstone were angry!
"Walder Pictures is a scallion?"
"They just made the lucky movie "Juno". Now they dare to promote their new film on such a large scale. This is not to take Hollywood's sixth major and not take us seriously!"
"That's it!"
"They are so big, where will we put our upcoming new film "Ace Spy"?"
Touchstone Pictures is a big company. Even if it is just a Disney-owned film company, its strength is not weak. At least the movies they release can cover the entire United States.
Of course they have reason to look down on Wald Pictures!
Blocking one's way of wealth is like killing one's parents and abuse of one's wife and children.
Now that the promotion of "Human Purge Plan" is so hot, how can Touchstone Film not be annoyed?
Their angry saliva almost drowned Zhuke alive!
.........
Disney Pictures Group.
Compared with Pineapple Group Pictures, City of Universe Pictures, and Touchstone Pictures, Disney is one of the real overlords of Hollywood.
Disney, with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, has caused some chaos in the company recently due to the struggles of the group's senior management, but it is still real and can overlook one of the kings of many film companies.
It happened that their new movie "Hercules" and "Air Force 1" were about to be released, but suddenly a "Human Purge Plan" appeared to disrupt the situation. The popularity was not low, which made them a little unfair.
In their opinion, this was a child holding a wooden knife and provoking a fully armed strong soldier!
Isn’t this seeking death?!
Apart from other film companies that are also one of the top six Hollywood film companies, Disney has never been afraid of anyone else.
So, this time they intend to teach Wald Pictures a lesson.
For example, call the theater first.
However, they were stunned.
"No!"
"Our theater company has signed an agreement with Wald Pictures long ago. You are asking me to breach the contract. Damn, you are not responsible for the penalty for liquidated damages? You are not like this."
"Yeah, it's still not possible."
"Walder Pictures and Paramount have a cooperation agreement. I can't afford to offend you Disney, but I can't offend Paramount!"
The heads of major theaters have rejected Disney's unreasonable requests.
Although Paramount's popularity in Hollywood in recent years is a bit weaker than other companies that are the top six, it is not something that their theaters can commit crimes. Of course, even if they are not afraid, there is no need to make grudges. Do you think so?
That's right!
Long before the second large-scale publicity of "Human Purge" was announced, Victor signed a supplementary agreement for a new film on behalf of Wald Pictures and Paramount.
The main purpose is to prevent theaters from deliberately reducing the screening of the "Human Cleanup Plan"!
To this end, in terms of the overseas distribution agreement signed by Wald Pictures and Paramount, Wald Pictures voluntarily gave up several points of profit.
Zhuke was very sad about this, but in the end Zhuke chose to support Victor's decision.
A weak country has no diplomacy!
It is universal in any field.
At present, Wald Pictures has a weak strength and must rely on Paramount. There is no way to do so. But the result is good now, at least the pressure on theaters is indeed much smaller.
The rise of "Human Purge Plan" is already unstoppable!
Chapter completed!
