Chapter 262
Well, despite William White's best efforts, Mrs. Veron's box office has unsurprisingly flopped.
Saying this is actually against my will. If you want to talk about hitting the street, it is certainly considered hitting the street compared to the speed of life and death, but this is a literary film, and the box office is not the most important thing at all, okay?
To be honest, Hollywood is very commercialized. Commercial films have the same gameplay as commercial films, and literary films are naturally different.
Well, you said that since it is all commercialized, how can it not make money.
There is a misunderstanding here. First of all, the cost of literary and artistic films is not high, and the salary is extremely low. They only pursue the exposure and popularity of the mainstream society, and the second is the box office value.
I have to say that William White's box office appeal is a bit of a myth, and the box office of more than 10 million US dollars in the first weekend is not unexpected. After all, the speed of life and death has not yet been drawn, and the ET aliens are also rushing forward. No matter how they hit the street, their box office is still in the top three.
At the same time, other movies have no such luck. You must say that Mrs. Peron's box office hit the market, so what about other movies?
Jump into a dog?
William White is actually quite happy, for no other reason, even those very picky film critics, there is no too harsh evaluation.
It's not because he gave others any benefits, but the theme of this movie is very inspirational. Pacifists took the initiative to stand for him, and feminists also regarded this movie as a classic.
In today's world, peace and women's rights are the main theme. You don't want to be the target of public criticism. It's best not to talk nonsense.
Europe on the other side of the ocean is a different situation. Although there are many black John Bulls in this movie, people also watch it very beautifully, and they don't care about the slander of the Americans.
Don't think that only the United States plays anti-war and women's rights, and Europe is even more tossing around.
Unknowingly, William White suddenly turned into a feminist fighter, which is quite funny to think about. I really can't figure it out. Could it be that those guys are out of their minds? This guy has a lot of cabbage, so how can he become a fighter.
A film with no well-known actors and no well-known director suddenly became the new favorite of major film festivals. Judging by the current posture, they are going to Oscar in the end.
Well, the film academy is still as arrogant as ever, and will not comment on films that have not yet been shortlisted. They don't care much, the Oscar Organizing Committee is another situation.
In the past few months, Oscar's reputation has been discredited, and all kinds of accusations and ridicule are simply suffocating.
Oscar has its own rules. To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of business behavior. All kinds of lobbying and publicity are really indispensable.
Well now, there happened to be someone who did not take the usual path.
What, you need to provide samples for them to watch. Because the old guys have limited mobility.
White Films' reply was choking. The plot of the movie was too exciting and not suitable for the elderly to watch. In case it is sent to the end directly, it doesn't make much sense to say it or not.
Well, William White's original words are even worse. He believes that it is a bit unreliable for a group of Alzheimer's patients to evaluate his movies.
White Pictures is really not afraid of Oscar now, his face is not so easy to hit.
The organizing committee of the Oscar is also very annoying. I have never seen such an unreasonable person. There is a reason for the big boss to end in person, which is really too unreasonable.
"Lucas, what do you think will happen this time?"
"What, Oscar?"
"Yeah, otherwise, hehe."
"Have fun and see, if there are no major accidents, it will still be a big loser and a loser."
"These old thieves do have character."
"Hehe, it's not that simple. The biggest possibility is that after this movie has made a round abroad, if it doesn't participate in any Oscars, even if it is nominated, William White will never appear again."
"Tsk tsk, if you don't show up, you won't win an award. This is almost an iron rule. If you don't give two consolation prizes, it will really tear you apart."
"Hehe, the Oscars are not clean. In the past, William White, who spent money to buy awards and controlled the media channels, would be so polite."
There is still some reason for Lucas to say this. He has more contact with William White, and he is very aware of this guy's fucking temper. The gentlemanly demeanor is just a cloud, it is just a disguise for him, he is outspoken himself.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is never too late for a villain to take revenge. William White is an out-and-out villain, so it is said that Oscar will be unlucky.
"Master, the villa has been cleaned up."
"Well, come pick me up, prepare some gifts casually, I'm going to comfort the neighbors around me."
"Okay, master."
William White's previous style was very excessive, and the neighbors around him were also scared enough. People also want to hear this person's explanation, is there really some thieves in the ocean, if one is not good, it will be boring if it hurts the fish in the pond.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are a few petty thieves who probably don't know the details of my situation here. The shooting was just a threat. Look, no one was killed or injured."
Although they knew that this guy was full of nonsense, no one cared too much. To put it bluntly, with such a big commotion, no bad guy would dare to come again in the future.
Speaking of those gifts, it's really simple, a bottle of wine from my own winery, plus some cookies I baked by myself, that's all.
Regardless of whether the box office hits the market or not, Sister Mai is completely popular, and the sales of movie simultaneous albums have also exceeded one million, and she is approaching the second million mark.
What? You said that MJ is over 100 million, and a million is nothing but rubbish.
Alas, it is wrong to say that again. First of all, the sales of over 100 million is not a result of one or two years, it is a matter of many years later. Among so many records of MJ, this is also considered to be the only one.
Then there is a difference between men and women. If a female singer can reach tens of millions of sales, it will be almost a miracle. In fact, those that can reach millions of sales are already rare.
The explosion of record sales was related to the equipment. In the era before the Walkman, the sales volume of tens of millions was already an exaggerated figure.
As for what you said about Michael Jackson, that is a legend, a legend that can never be surpassed. If it wasn't for this person's emotional intelligence problem, there would really be no latecomers.
In fact, Lao Mei's attitude towards him is very ambiguous, or rather jealous. Discrimination is inscribed deep in the soul, and there is really no way to explain it.
The racial issues of this era are far less harmonious than those of later generations. It can be said that MJ was born ten years earlier, and this period of time is just the darkness before dawn.
Wouldn't it be good to get MJ here?
Hehe, this is unrealistic. It is useless for you to give him half of the shares. Now Michael Jackson has become so popular, how could he accept the solicitation of a small record company, he might as well start his own.
