[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

After the post-production of "West Coast" was completed, the news of its release has attracted a certain degree of attention in Germany.

There is no other reason. The previous "Lola" made European people see this director from Hollywood. Although he tried to challenge European movies with his American background, it seems that the effect is not bad.

Therefore, some German fans are still looking forward to "West Coast". I heard that this is an anti-war film with Germany as the main perspective, which naturally attracted some people's attention.

Joy chose to cooperate with a local independent film company in Germany. This company has produced excellent and classic German films before, such as "The Storm" and "Sleepy Hollow".

However, when the boss of the company was discussing the schedule with Joey, Joey expressed his desire to hit some traditional awards in Europe, mainly the Berlin Film Festival in Germany.

The film company also stated that if the film wants to hit the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, then there is very little room for choice in terms of release schedule.

It is even said that in order to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival in Germany, this movie should be released immediately, otherwise it may be too late.

Originally, local low-budget European films like Joey's would basically study the next schedule and deliberately avoid the schedule that would collide with Hollywood hits.

Because the box office of European local films is not very high, if they collide with Hollywood movies, the box office will be compressed to a small size, and it is easy to cause a situation where the investment cannot be recovered, so most European local films will not Choose to crash with a hit Hollywood movie.

The hot Hollywood movies here do not refer to all imported Hollywood movies, but specifically to imported Hollywood movies like "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland" that are particularly popular at first glance.

So the original film company didn't plan to let Joey's "West Coast" be released so soon, because in the next period of time, the German film market will introduce two Hollywood hits, "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland".

But since Joey said that he wants to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival, it is bound to need to be released in the next schedule.this……

In the end, Joey and the film distribution company decided to bite the bullet and let "West Coast" be released in the next schedule.

The promotional signs of "West Coast" are obviously Nicole Kidman and Michael Fassbender. After all, these two people are considered popular in this movie.

Of course, there is also the golden signboard of Joey Grant.In "Lola", European movie fans have already seen her skilled European style. This time, which expression method will she use to interpret European movies in "West Coast"?

During this period of time, the promotional posters of "West Coast" were listed alongside "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland" in the field of vision of major movie theaters and newspapers.

But people obviously pay more attention to "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland". After all, for the former, Leonardo is more attractive than Nicole Kidman. Wonderland itself is a big IP, which is its natural attraction.

So even though "West Coast" has the name of Joey Grant, its appeal is still far behind. After all, there are only a small number of senior movie fans who watch movies, and most of them are ordinary movie fans and some passer-by fans. Prefer commercial special effects blockbusters, or popcorn movies.

"West Coast" obviously lost in terms of subject matter.

In Germany, there is a very famous box office forecasting company called STAR founded by the boss Jacob.The model of this company is of course a reference to and borrowed from the Hollywood box office forecasting company emaScore.From emaScore, Jacob saw the business opportunities in the box office forecasting industry, so he returned to Europe and established STAR, a European box office forecasting company.

In recent years, STAR’s box office predictions for the European film market have shown exceptionally accurate predictions. Of course, it’s not true every time. It can only be said that half, half, and nearly half of the movies have given accurate box office estimates. Estimation is worshiped as a god, but half of the movies he estimated are outrageous.

So this STAR box office forecasting company is still in the growth stage, and its performance is very unstable...Hollywood box office forecasting company.

Mintz, the boss of emaScore, is very displeased with this European copy company and its boss Jacob. Mintz said to Jacob several times, "I think the European STAR is an ignorant and stupid The company, his predictions were not accurate at all, and it started by borrowing my business model."

Jacob, on the other hand, always ignored Mintz.

At this time, Jacob was attending a reception, which was a gathering of celebrities in the film industry attended by an upper-class figure in Germany, and it also attracted a lot of attention from the media.

As soon as Jacob got off the stretched Lincoln, he was surrounded by a group of reporters. They began to ask Jacob about some recent upcoming movies.

Reporter: "Mr. Jacob, do you predict which movies will occupy half of the theater in the next period of time?"

Jacob took off his black sunglasses and said confidently and proudly: "Needless to say, it is definitely the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster, "Inception" filmed by the ghostly director Nolan and "Alice in Wonderland" which Disney has worked hard for five years. ", Tim Burton is still Tim Burton."

Reporter, "Mr. Jacob, it seems that you are not very optimistic about the local market recently?"

Jacob bit a cigar, "Of course, you don't have to think about it. In the next period of time, after "Inception" and "Alice in Dreams" are released together, how much slack in the market will be divided among local movie theaters? Movies? These two will basically carve up fans of different age groups."

So those good media once again pulled the focus back, "Then Mr. Jacob, I would like to ask, what do you think of the upcoming performance of Joey Grant's "West Coast"?"

Jacob smiled lightly, full of confidence, "How? I don't know. After all, it hasn't been released yet, so I can't give an accurate prediction. But I can be sure that in the next period of time, in "Inception" and " Under the attack of Alice in Wonderland, the entire German domestic film market will be quite sluggish, and the combined box office of all local films will not exceed 2000 million."

Reporter, "My mother! 2000? So little? According to what you mean, in the next period when "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland" are released at the same time, German local films will directly wither?"

Jacob smiled arrogantly, "Yes, it just withered, no matter how successful Joey Grant is as a director, but in front of the two giant commercial films, the power of local literary and artistic films is like a mayfly shaking a big tree, which is ridiculous. "

Jacob's remarks were immediately spread to the major media. With the media's embellishment, this text became like this——

['West Coast' picks to crash with 'Inception' and 'Alice in Wonderland']

【The mayfly shakes the big tree, it's ridiculous and overpowering】

[In front of Hollywood's ready-to-release masterpieces, even Luc Besson and Polanski can't handle it]

Many media even questioned Joey's choice this time.

"I don't think there is any problem with Joey's professionalism, but this time she has used the Hollywood box office poison, Nicole Kidman, isn't Joey afraid that she will become Nicole Kidman's next victim? "

"An anti-war film with Germany as the main perspective? Is this theme okay?"

"Why choose this schedule to collide with "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland"? This move is not rational at all."

"Jacob, the master box office forecaster in Europe, thinks 'West Coast' might be a smash."

At this time, Jacob was on the cusp of this storm again, updating a paragraph of text on his FACEBOOK.

"I would like to boldly guess why Joy must release "West Coast" at this time, probably because she wants to squeeze into this year's Berlin Film Festival?"

"It can only be said that there are gains and losses. Since she chooses to compete in this time period and collide with "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland", she will inevitably pay some price. Only this time The price may be more tragic, that is, the box office of this work may be ruined."

"If Joey doesn't want the box office of this movie to be a hit, then there is only one choice, which is to fight for a name at the Berlin Film Festival, so that the award response will bring the follow-up income and consumption of the movie (DVDBD paid theaters, Blockbuster videotapes, etc.), there may still be a lot of money to be made.”

"However, the film has not yet been released, and I cannot accurately predict the box office of "West Coast", but I can repeat that "Inception" and "Alice in Wonderland" are definitely box office contenders of the aircraft carrier type, and local German films will be dominated by them. Compressed to the box office of all the movies in the next schedule, it will not exceed 2000 million!"

Netizens commented on the incident in Jacob's Facebook page.

"I also think Joey should change his schedule."

"But if it's for the prize, there's nothing wrong with it."

"It seems that "West Coast" is going to fail at the box office, but it should be supported by awards. After all, Joey's level is there, so he won't lose money."

But everyone, all the media, netizens, including Jacob himself seem to have forgotten one thing.

That is Jacob's European box office forecasting company STAR is based on the model of Hollywood's box office forecasting company emaScore.

And Joey himself is the father of the Hollywood box office forecasting company!

That company was raised by Joey!
