At 10 a.m. at the production meeting of "The Soul-Escaped Girl", Mia Coschna arrived at Daenerys Cinema in Malibu half an hour in advance.

With "Little Woman" nomination for Best Actress and now has a big hit like "Blackhead Valley", Mia Coschna has become one of the fastest rising new actresses in Hollywood, and until now, the girl is only 21 years old.

Many actresses at the age of 21 may still be waiting in Hollywood for a chance to play a vase.

Mia Koschna, who was born into a child star, can even understand the preciousness of her career.

She brought Shirley, a maid from Wei family, whom she equipped for her, to the office building No. 3 of the administrative district. No one else had arrived yet. The staff in charge of the reception were even surprised that the most famous actress in "The Soul-Evering Girl" could arrive early, but Mia could not tell some of her own little thoughts.

The two of them were waiting in a lounge for a while. The waitress Shirley called out. After a while, she shook her head in Mia's expectant gaze and said, "Say there, Mr. Westeros is attending a meeting, and she will only reply to us and ask for a reminder."

Mia's eyes suddenly showed a disappointed expression, a little resentful.

I came to Daenerys Cinema early, of course I wanted to see him, but unfortunately I failed to do it.

Speaking of which, Mia would never reveal anything to others. She and him have not been sleeping until now. Therefore, it is natural that everyone thinks that she is one of his many lovers, but it is actually a bit unworthy of the name.

Entering this circle, she has been beautiful since childhood. Mia has encountered many entanglements along the way. After meeting him, all these covetous desires disappeared. It is a miracle to be able to live like a princess in Hollywood. Therefore, deep down, Mia has a feeling that she can count the number of times she met with her hand since she met her.

sense of security.

The man didn't have time to see him, Mia was lost for a while, and waited for Shirley to bring her a cup of coffee, and handed over a copy of today's latest Hollywood Reporter magazine, and finally got some energy.

Then I remembered that today is Friday.

A single-day holiday box office week that lasted from July 4 to July 11 ended yesterday.

Today's "Hollywood Reporter" lists the past eight days as a box office week, mainly because last week's three major new films were released one day in advance on Thursday, July 4, rather than Friday, so this week's data overlaps with the previous box office week.

In any case, the key is the box office.

Faced with the sniping of three new films, "Bird Cage", "Battle of the Deadly Island" and "Phantom Man", in the past eight days, "The Deadly Valley" has been ranked first in the single-week box office list for the past eight days, earning 46.73 million US dollars in eight days. If the 9.22 million US dollars on July 4th is subtracted, the 7-day revenue data of the next week is US$37.51 million, a year-on-year decrease of only 27%.

After two weeks of release, Tim Burton's fantasy horror film with a huge reputation quickly reached $88.9 million.

This momentum has far exceeded the relevant data that the original Aerial "Dragonhead Valley" local box office just exceeded 100 million.

The second place still did not come to the turn of several new films last week, but continued to be occupied by "007's Ghost Party".

As the release entered its fourth week, the box office of "007: Ghost Party" earned $35.62 million in the previous eight days, minus the $8.19 million on July 4, and the previous seven days earned $27.43 million. The box office fell by only 29% because of the sharp increase in the number of moviegoers during the Only Day holiday.

Nearly a month after the painting was launched, the cumulative box office of "007: The Ghost Party" officially exceeded the 200 million US dollars mark, reaching 211.42 million US dollars.

Last week's July 4th was the last heavyweight film opening week for the 1996 summer season. Whether it is "Bird Cage", "Battle of the Deadly Island" or "Phantom Man", they are highly valued by the corresponding producers. Then, because the Atlanta Olympics are about to come, there will be no other heavyweight film opening week for the summer season.

This actually means that whether it is "The Deadhead Valley" or "The Ghost Party of 007" and even some other films before, they can withstand the impact of last week's three new films, and then they can reap the box office relatively calmly.

Therefore, according to the fact that "007's Ghost Party" can maintain a box office of US$27.42 million in seven days last week, and the local box office of the film successfully exceeded the 200 million US dollars mark, the expected local 300 million is basically just a matter of time.

Even the local $150 million expectation of "Dragonhead Valley" has proved quite conservative because of its box office performance that exceeded expectations the next week.

All of this is ultimately because the box office of three highly anticipated new films on July 4 was unsatisfactory.

After the top two on the list, Disney's "Breaking into the Deadly Island" finally won the third place.

However, compared with the Michael Bay version's box office and reputation, this time, "Breaking into the Deadly Island" has only retained Sean Connery, and the other two main creators, Michael Bay and Nicholas Cage, did not appear, and even lost the inspection of Hollywood legendary producer Jerry Brookheimer. The media comprehensive score after the film was opened last week was only a barely passing 6.1 points.

As for the many colors of Sean Connery-related eggs related to 007 that the producer deliberately laid in the film, they were also criticized by film critics as suspected of taking advantage of the popularity.

After all, the real "007 Ghost Party" is being screened.

Therefore, this bombshell action blockbuster, which cost $70 million, started painting on July 4, and finally earned only $26.59 million in eight days in the first week.

Of course, such a result is not a failure, but it is far lower than Disney's initial box office expectations of more than $40 million in the first week. After all, it is supported by a single day holiday. It has not even received $30 million in the first week for 8 days, which is not a success in any case.

Moreover, if "The Deadhead Valley" and "The Ghost Party of 007" were not competed, relying on the next long-term account, "The Deadly Island" might have hit a 100 million box office club. Now, this possibility is really slim, and the ultimate local box office is more likely to be between 70 million and 80 million US dollars.

Including the $30 million in publicity and development expenses, the budget scale of "The Deadly Island" and "The Deadly Island" are exactly the same, both of which are 100 million US dollars. However, compared with the cumulative box office of "The Deadly Island" in two weeks, "The Deadly Island" will undoubtedly look much more dismal.

The fourth place on the list was won by MGM's homosexual comedy "Bird Cage".

In the first eight days of the week, the box office of "Bird Cage" was $23.91 million.

Compared with the production cost of $31 million and the box office of more than $20 million in the first week, this medium-budget comedy is definitely successful. However, compared with the outstanding results of the ninth place in the annual box office in the original time and space, facing the squeeze of a series of blockbuster bombs, "Bird Cage" is expected to have a local box office of $60 million this time, it is immediately unsatisfactory.

This is actually impossible. After all, the capacity of the film market is limited, and the competition in the 1996 summer in the original air was not so fierce.

Last week's last new film, "The Phantom Man", occupied the fifth place on the list.

However, although Sony's $47 million comic adaptation film ranked fifth, the box office of the 8-day start of the painting was directly behind the top few, and did not even enter the range of tens of millions of dollars. The first week only had a poor $9.43 million box office, which once again became a box office dud for Sony Pictures.

After the success of DC's Cinema Universe, many studios have tried to make comic-adapted movies in recent years, but unfortunately they have failed.

Sony just repeated the failure again.

After three new films last week, the latest week starting today, there is only one Eddie Murphy's "Fatty Professor" in the North American market.

Speaking of which, "Professor Fatty" was once a film produced by Universal Pictures, and also entered the top ten annual box office list. Even if the cost is a bit high, it is still a big seller.

Because of his own production plan, Simon did not take over the film again, but personally handed it over to Fox Pictures.

Although the bombshell movies have risen rapidly in recent years, relying on the halo of the former "Detective Beverly" series, Eddie Murphy has maintained the ranks of Hollywood's first-line male stars for a long time, and the production budget of "Fatty Professor" has reached $54 million, which is considered a bombshell for Fox this summer.

It will be released on July 12, which is also due to the consideration of evading competition.

The initial budget of the film was $4,000, overspending 14 million. It is said that Murdoch had a lot of complaints about this. After all, things are obvious. The budget of $54 million, plus the promotion of $20 million, unless a small box office miracle occurs, even if the local area only exceeds 100 million, the movie will not be easy to recover through theater distribution.

After all, Eddie Murphy is a black man, and his overseas box office appeal is very unstable.

In fact, Simon also made this consideration and did not transfer the project to MGM, which was closer, but Fox.

However, since it has been able to enter the top ten of the annual box office, even if Shi Yi Shibian and the same creative lineup, the box office results of this movie should not be too bad, and it will not be too difficult for Fox to make a small profit.

Mia Coschna casually finished the box office data and other movie information on "The Hollywood Reporter" today. It was 10 o'clock. The crew members of "The Soul-Escaped Girl" arrived one after another, and everyone went to a conference room next door to start today's production meeting.

Compared to the once obviously out of control of the $40 million production budget, Simon only gave $20 million this time.

Because he tends to be an art film, even if he is nominated for Best Actress in the Oscar, "The Dead-Head Valley" has just made a big hit. Mia, the most valuable, only received a $2 million salary this time. Angelina Jolie, although her performance in the audition stage was amazing, so that director James Mangod insisted on using the other party even though he knew that the actress's appearance was contrary to the aesthetics of the big boss, still insisted on using the other party, but this time he only gave a $100,000 salary.

In addition to the two heroines, because of the high quality of the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment, other characters who have joined have already become famous in Hollywood and basically only receive the basic salary of the union.

Everyone is just trying to show their faces. Whoever wants to make money from this literary film that Simon Westeros is said to be particularly concerned about is crazy.

James Mangod himself also had only $1.5 million in directorial fees this time, which was one level lower than Mia. However, as a director, screenwriter and producer, James Mangod also signed an additional share clause. As long as the film is commercially successful, it will also get good returns in the future.

This was the first production meeting after the crew was completed. Everyone introduced each other and talked about their understanding of the script and the characters. Two hours passed quickly during the discussion, and before they knew it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

The meeting ended and everyone began to disperse.

Mia just got up and two other girls had come over. It was not the obviously unsociable Angelina Jolie, but the two supporting characters in the film, one named Britney Murphy and the other named Cardi Strayland.

Facing Mia, who had no intersection before, the two women were still warmly pleasing, Cardi Streland said first: "Mia, do you have other arrangements at noon? How about having lunch together?"

He started to get involved in this circle at a very young age. Of course, Mia knew that the two women were close to her intentions. There were more than two of them who tried to do this in recent years.

Although she looks quiet, Mia is not the kind of person who likes to keep people from hiding. She is very lively in private. She quietly looks at the two women a few times and confirms that it is probably not in line with a man's preference. She nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm planning to go to Venice Beach to eat seafood. Let's go together, well, I'll treat you."

Britney Murphy on the other side saw Mia agreeing and hurriedly said, "How can this work? Of course, it's just Cardi and I treat you."

As she said this, the two women were already surrounded by Mia, unknowingly, and she led the girl out without any trace, no longer giving other people a chance to chat with her. Mia seemed to have not realized it, picked up her white Hermes bag, finally nodded to the others, and walked out of the conference room with her two women and laughed.

As soon as he left the house, the waitress Shirley was already waiting outside the door. Seeing Mia following two girls, she just nodded slightly and stepped forward and said, "Mia?"

Mia Coschna was a little confused: “Hmm?”

Shirley raised her hand and gestured, and simply said to the other two women: "Sorry, can we say a few words alone?"

The other two women also knew about Xueli's identity. Compared to Mia, they were more inexplicable awe. Of course, there was no problem, saying that they would wait at the elevator entrance.

"That's right," Shirley waited for the two girls to walk away, and then took Mia away from the door of the conference room where people kept walking out, and then said: "Let's go there quickly. Mr. Westeros said he wanted to have lunch with you, right in the cinema restaurant."

Mia, who had no hope today, had her eyes lit up when she heard this. She subconsciously pointed her head, remembered the two girls not far away, and said, "I'll tell them."

Shirley nodded.

The two walked to the elevator together. Mia regretfully found a reason to perfunctorily and hurriedly took Shirley away.

Following him downstairs, Britney Murphy and his two girls saw Mia not going to the parking lot after going downstairs, but heading to another direction in the administrative area. They soon understood something, but they could only envy them.

Such things cannot be asked for.

There are countless women in Hollywood who want to win the favor of Simon Westeros, but unfortunately, even if they want to see that big man with a high profile, they have little chance of seeing him.
