Chapter 590 Don't Be Too Happy

The three consecutive films "Rage", "The Fast and the Furious", and "Death Is Coming 2" are all released in September and October. This period is not the summer or Christmas period that is full of blockbusters, and it has always been a small and medium cost. A great time for a movie to shine.

Or there are other works from the Big Six. Of course, the movies scheduled to be released in September and October are definitely not the movies that the Big Six are pushing for in the first sequence.

Originally a fairly good schedule in September and October, who would have thought to catch up with the 9/11 incident.

A large number of movie blood loss completely exceeded the expectations of major Hollywood film companies.

"Kevin, how much did we spend on the pre-announcement of these upcoming films at Wald Pictures?"

asked Zucker.

Hearing this, Kevin Feige was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll look for the report."

Any expense of the company is on file with Finance and Kevin Feige.

soon~

"Boss, found it." Kevin Feige raised the report data in Yang's hand.

[Breakdown of the movie expenses of "Rage". 】

[Breakdown of "Fast and the Furious" movie expenses. 】

[Breakdown of the movie "Death Comes 2". 】

Three files in a row were neatly arranged, and they lay peacefully on the desk.

"I'll look at the information, you guys are busy with yours."

Zhu Ke looked at the information, but only glanced at it a few times, and his heart was cold.

The total production cost of the "Rage" movie is $11 million, and the estimated distribution cost is $10,000.

Today is September 10, and there are still 5 days before the movie is released;

There is less than 1 day before the 911 incident;

Up to now, the pre-announcement cost of the movie "Anger to Heart" before its release has exceeded 4 million US dollars.

"Come on, the $4 million pre-announcement fee will definitely go to waste." Zu Ke secretly thought.

Take a look at the two movies "Fast and Furious" and "Death Is Coming 2"...

It's just over 20 days away from the show.

However, the upfront cost of publicity is really not less.

The movie "Fast and the Furious" has a total production cost of 36 million US dollars, and the pre-publication expenses have already spent 7 million US dollars;

The movie "Death Comes 2" has a total production cost of 25 million US dollars. As a movie that Wald Pictures is pushing for Halloween this year, it is also a sequel movie with a large fan base, and its announcement cost is not less. .

Kevin Feige's publicity fee for the film is set at $10,000!

A full $8 million has been spent so far.

"Ten thousand..."

"Three movies combined, it's $19 million!"

At this moment, classmate Zhu Ke suddenly felt a chill in his heart, there is no way? Who made this money doomed to waste.

The point is that Zucker can't stop it now!

Could it be that Zucker is now tugging at Kevin Feige's collar? He yelled, "You idiot, hurry up and cancel the movie? Don't spend the fucking money on the 9/11 incident?

The money spent up front is destined to be wasted. "

Think about this.

Zucker can't say it!

For a while? Zuke's face changed constantly, it was wonderful.

Kevin Feige saw this? Concerned: "Boss? Are you feeling unwell, do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Zucker looked up at him.

Without a word, Zucker left the office.

Suddenly, Kevin Feige, Gavin O'Connor, and Tudor looked at each other.

Kevin Feige sneered and said: "Maybe the boss is really a little uncomfortable, after all, he talked and laughed with us before."

Gavin O'Connor and Tudor immediately nodded in cooperation.

It's embarrassing, everyone will encounter it.

Zucker is naturally in a bad mood, it's the same for everyone? After all, this is $19 million!

Want to stop, but there is no way.

However? Zucker has already made plans, as long as the 9/11 incident breaks out? Then the three upcoming films must be withdrawn immediately.

Even if it is necessary to pay some money to the theater chain, it is not at all hesitant.

Timely stop loss is sometimes necessary means.

In short? Zucker doesn't want his own movies to become cannon fodder under the 9/11 incident!

"That's all? Just pay for a lesson."

"Lost $19 million? Then I'll get it back in the stock market, since the wool comes out of the sheep anyway."

......

WB Television.

At this moment, Jason Statham, Jessica Chastain and others, the main members of the crew of the movie "Rage", are recording a program on TV.

The purpose is naturally to better promote the movie "Angry Heart".

"Ms. Hera, when will the show be broadcast after the recording is completed?"

Jason Statham started asking the show host before the show was recorded.

This is Jason Statham's first TV show since he came to Hollywood from the UK, and he attaches great importance to it.

The hostess Hera said: "You guys are on this show mainly to promote the movie, so it's a special edition. After the recording is completed this morning, it will be played tonight, um, together with the content recorded in the previous issue. "

"So fast?!"

Jason Statham has a little surprise.

"certainly."

The hostess Hera said with a smile: "We WB TV and Wald Pictures are also under the Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group. In order to cooperate with the promotion of the film, there are naturally many preferential treatment. Otherwise, if we record a program, the fastest It will be broadcast in 5 days.”

Hearing this, Jason Statham was immediately overjoyed.

He is eager for the promotion of the movie "Anger to Heart" as soon as possible. This is the first movie he starred in after entering Hollywood.

He pays great attention!

......

That night.

The entertainment channel of the WB TV network broadcast the recording content of the crew of "Anger to Heart" this morning.

In the program, Jason Statham said with a smile: "I was a member of the British national diving team many years ago. The best result was to represent the United Kingdom in the 12th World Diving Championship in 1992, and won the first 12."

"Why retire?"

"To be honest, I am also very reluctant. You know, I started practicing diving when I was 14 years old, and then I contributed 12 years to the British national diving team. The way to keep going.”

......

In the program, Jason Statham faced the host's inquiries, talked again and again, and answered very well.

A villa somewhere in Los Angeles.

Jessica Chastain, the heroine of the movie "Rage", is half-lying on the bed in a purple nightgown.

She smiled and said to Zucker, who was smoking beside him, "Zuck, your vision is really good. Jason Statham is really a very, very hard-working actor. I think he will be successful in Hollywood."

"For example, in the filming of this movie, when he was shooting action scenes, he was injured many times. If it was changed to ordinary people, he would definitely stop shooting and go to the hospital to deal with the wound. But he is different. As long as it is not a serious injury, he will The wound is treated after the shot is finished."

"That's what you say?" Zucker pouted his chin proudly.

Guo Da... Jason Statham, a world-renowned tough guy in Hollywood 21, is not a vain name.

"Zuck, how many box office results do you think the movie "Raging Heart" can get this time?"

Jessica Chastain didn't wait for Zucker to answer, but said to herself: "In my judgment, the film is not bad."

The voice fell.

Zucker was immediately happy.

Still showing?

Of course she didn't know that Zucker had planned to withdraw the movie and stop the loss in time.

Don't look at the popularity of this entertainment program on the WB TV network after it was broadcast, and it caused a lot of discussion, but Zucker knew that it was of no use. Who made tomorrow the day of 9/11?

Zuke smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too soon."

Jessica Chastain: "..."

Before she could ask another question, Zhu Ke put out the cigarette butt, and the corner of his mouth raised, "What are you talking about in a good time? Let's have a fight~"

"" The second is sent, there are votes to vote, dear~
