Chapter 329: The Halloween Schedule is Coming
Halloween, it is a traditional festival in Western countries.
Carnival, evil, devil, pumpkin, candlelight...
All these have almost become synonymous with Halloween carnival. There are even many people from all countries and regions who believe that Halloween is a ghost festival.
Halloween = Ghost Festival?
In fact, this is wrong!
The English language of Halloween is all saints day, also known as the “Saints of All Saints”, is one of the Catholic and Orthodox festivals and a traditional festival in Western countries. On that day, many believers who believe in Catholic and Orthodox religions were to hold a mass ceremony to celebrate all the saints in heaven.
But!
In modern society, for commercial interests or other purposes, on the night of October 31 (the Eve of Halloween), various activities full of monsters and monsters are organized, which completely deviates from the sacred meaning of Halloween.
With the changes of the times, Halloween Mass has almost been invisible. The festival has almost completely evolved into a crazy carnival, and has also transformed it from a religious festival to a global carnival.
Well, there are only some areas such as the Vatican, Santiago, Scotland, Canada, etc., and you can also see people conducting mass activities on Halloween.
Even the original legal November 1st is Halloween, but because of the crazy and lively moment on Halloween Eve on October 31st, countless people think that it is Halloween on Halloween!
October 22.
There is more than a week left before Halloween, but many people across North America have begun preparing for demonizing carnival celebrations.
Almost all shops on the street are covered with pumpkin lanterns;
The sales of wizard hats and magic wands have skyrocketed, and are the first choice for many children to choose gifts;
Major American companies have also launched Halloween events in recent times to attract consumers;
Especially the atmosphere of major shopping malls, supermarkets, and Halloween is even more lively;
Of course, the most crazy and obvious places are bars, dance halls, ktv and other night scenes, and the Halloween atmosphere is almost dripping.
.........
at the same time.
Hollywood's film industry is also ready to go.
No!
To be precise, the Halloween schedule has officially begun today.
Just Friday...
Today, as many as 12 new films have officially debuted across the United States. A delicious meal for Halloween in 1999.
Fans, fans and movie audiences from all over the world paid for tickets to see them.
Harvey Weinstein, President of Miramax: "I am confident in the movies produced by our company. I believe it will make a good start and offer a Halloween carnival gift to all my fellow comrades in the United States and even North America."
Frank Gusta, owner of Lionsgate Pictures: "The Halloween schedule in 1996 lasted for three weeks, which created a box office of $970 million in one fell swoop; the Halloween schedule in 1997 created a box office of $1.09 billion; in 1998, it created a box office of $1.21 billion in three weeks; now it is 1999, and I have reason to believe that this year's box office data will create a higher level."
The head of the New York branch of Walmart, the world's largest supermarket chain, also revealed a lot of data in detail when interviewed by reporters.
"During Halloween last year, our 110 stores in four eastern states alone sold Halloween goods and exclusive foods, totaling up to US$2.7 billion, reaching the entire United States, with revenue of up to tens of billions of dollars."
"This year, the Halloween event has just begun, and its sales figures are 3.2% higher than the same period last year."
“So, I have reason to believe that this year’s data will hit another high.”
...
Yijiang Entertainment, Searchlight Film, Dimen Pictures, Tingfeng Entertainment, Kna Diane Pictures...
Representatives from dozens of Hollywood film companies have been more or less interviewed by reporters today, expressing their optimism about this year's Halloween schedule, and more of them are using this to promote their own videos.
Especially on October 22, the 12 film companies that will release their films, and their company representatives and publicity leaders, spared no effort.
Praise oneself and belittle others have gradually become conventional means of publicity.
"Well?"
"You talk about Lionsgate's new work "The Great Demon of Hell"?"
"I was lucky enough to watch the movie in advance, but you have to ask if it is good or not? Haha, I can only say that it is completely ineligible to be on the Halloween schedule, and I am not optimistic about its box office development."
"In contrast, our new work "The Witch Berkeley" in the Halloween period of Artisan Entertainment is a sincere Halloween work."
When the vice president of Yijiang Entertainment was interviewed by reporters, he talked freely.
...
Peak Entertainment Company.
"Hahaha, don't tease me, man!"
Patrick Wattsberg, one of the three giants in Peak Entertainment, couldn't help but sneer in an interview with a reporter from the Chicago News: "I don't deny the greatness of Miramax, nor do I deny that it has released excellent horror/thriller films such as "The Funeral Beautiful" and "Scream", which have dedicated many people's joy, but... I think this is the case with their videos this year, and they are completely out of standard."
"In a word, Miramax Pictures, it won't work this year!"
"This year's Halloween schedule, we have to see our new works from Tsuna Entertainment!"
Upon hearing this, the reporter was speechless.
It’s too much to force yourself to attack your opponent for the sake of profit.
Hollywood is worthy of being a world of fame and fortune, a place for money gaming. The heads of various film companies are all eloquent people, slandering, criticizing, stomping, and stomping others, which has become a completely instinct.
The scattered ceiling is not enough to describe their eloquence.
What's wrong with you?
If you have the ability, you can hit me!
Besides, everyone is calling each other!
But... Heihei, none of them, the second and third-tier film companies dare to criticize them, and they are three companies: Wald Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Paramount Pictures.
Even the three Wald film companies, which account for the vast majority of the screenings during the Halloween film schedule, none of them dared to provoke.
A big company is a big company. How dare you try it?
I can't beat you to death ~
Do you really think that three film companies with media backgrounds are vegetarians?
......
Wald Pictures.
"It's all a bunch of cunning guys!"
Zucker exclaimed at Bill McNick: "I originally thought that a few people would jump out and criticize us, Warner and Paramount, three film companies, but they actually chose to retreat. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Old Bill smiled and said, "These film companies can survive in Hollywood, so they naturally have their own way of survival."
In order to fight against the high-level filming schedule of Wald's three film companies during the Halloween period, many medium and small film companies in Hollywood have actively contacted the theaters and lowered their own profits and gave them to theaters.
To be honest, this annoyed Zhuke.
Warner and Paramount were also quite angry.
Therefore, Zhu Ke and others were waiting for someone to jump out and whine!
You jump out and criticize me?
Well, I'll be waiting for you for a long time.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, do you understand?
Do you understand if you shoot a gun?
However... all the major Hollywood film companies are talented, and none of them are fools or reckless men. This made Zhu Ke happily lift the knife, but he couldn't find his opponent, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Invincible, how lonely it is~"
But!
By the next day, Zhu Ke, who thought he was useless and could not kill a chicken to scare the monkey, suddenly discovered that a film company was provoking him.
Yes, it did not provoke Warner and Paramount's film companies, but instead pointed the finger at Wald Pictures and even Zucker himself.
Chapter completed!
