MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1146 find a star
Entering August, Dunn's "Avengers" announced the completion of production.
The script and preliminary preparations for the film took a year, and the shooting took another two years. For a "fast shooter" like Dunn, it was a real slow and meticulous work.
The film will be released in July next year!
At that time, it happened to be the node of the new global IPO listing.
If nothing else, this Marvel masterpiece, which gathers heroes, will boost the stock price of New Universal to climb.
By August, this year's summer season is over.
There are as many as 7 blockbuster films with a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in North America! In the whole of last year, there were only 7 films with a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in North America.
The Hollywood market is getting bigger and better.
The box office only accounts for 20% of the film's revenue.
A 10% increase in the box office is equivalent to a 50% increase in the gross revenue of the film.
The situation is good.
congratulations.
The summer champions in the past few years are all films under the New Universal Group.
This year, a little change has taken place.
The last "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" in George Lucas's "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" is no surprise, leading the summer season!
Among them, the North American box office is 380 million US dollars, and the global box office is 850 million US dollars!
It's a pity that it failed to reach the super **** target of 1 billion US dollars.
Although New Universal failed to take the lead, the second and third places did not run.
The runner-up in the summer season is Marvel's superhero movie "Iron Man"!
The film grossed $370 million in North America and $780 million worldwide!
Such data also really hit the faces of those who were generally not optimistic about Robert Down Jr. before.
The third place is "The Da Vinci Code" starring Tom Hanks. The film grossed $220 million in North America and $760 million worldwide. The overseas market is very powerful, mainly involving Christian secrets, which are curious and have a wide audience.
Next, is Spielberg's painstaking big production "The War of the Worlds." This movie, where Spielberg invited Tom Cruise, is running for $1 billion at the box office.
It's a pity that Tommy is old, and the era of superstars has passed.
The film grossed $230 million in North America and $590 million worldwide.
Next, "Wanted" grossed $240 million in North America and $470 million worldwide. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" grossed $210 million in North America and $470 million worldwide. These are all New Universal films.
It is worth mentioning that the action comedy "Hip-Hop Agent" launched by 20th Century Fox has achieved good results, with a North American box office of 200 million US dollars and a global box office of 480 million US dollars.
And this movie has never appeared in the previous life!
Dunn stole a lot of film projects that originally belonged to Hollywood's Big Six, and as a result, they made a lot of "new films".
Dunn made a special trip to find a copy of this movie and watched it in his own cinema.
Starring Samuel L. Jackson and James Franco, it's about two amateur hip-hop singers who accidentally crash a murder case during a bar performance and are framed as the murderer. Annoyingly, they didn't realize that it was the murder scene at the time. They reached out and touched a lot of things that shouldn't be touched, leaving fingerprints everywhere.
Because they were worried about being caught, they chose to flee.
While fleeing, looking for the real murderer.
There are many ridiculous farce stories in it.
The plot is rich and interesting.
Don't say it, it's pretty cool!
……
After filming "The Avengers", Dunn felt more relaxed.
When he went out in summer, he went to Britain, Russia, China, South Korea and other countries successively, but he really couldn't find time to go to Japan.
I'm a little cold-hearted towards those cute girls in Japan.
Now that the task is completed, Dunn sent a plane to take them over.
Dunn's industry in Japan is not small.
In addition to the five familiar faces of Yu Aoi, Masami Nagasawa, Nozomi Sasaki, Yui Shinheng and Maki Horikita, there are five relatively new faces: Haruna Kojima, Yukari Sato, Minami Takahashi, Tomomi Itano and Atsuko Maeda face.
They are both members of the AKB48 girl group.
However, AKB48 is about to officially debut soon, and they are busy training at this time.
In the end, it was Yu Aoi, Masami Nagasawa, Nozomi Sasaki, Yui Shinheng, Maki Horikita and the others who were finally brought to Los Angeles.
When I saw Dunn, I was naturally very happy.
They have been here several times before.
But Dunn never took them out for a spin.
This time, they begged Dunn to take them around, especially the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.
This is the most famous sign in Hollywood. If you haven’t visited here, you won’t be in Hollywood!
After much deliberation, Tang En decided to take them around.
But he was too cool to show up in public.
I found a makeup artist and did a full-scale makeover.
Wrinkles were drawn on her face, her eyebrows were trimmed, her nose was padded, her eyes were covered with lenses, her lips were covered with a beard, and her chin was even raised by decoration.
Looking in the mirror, well, he looks like a local tyrant!
It's almost like a different person.
"Well, it's good! Let's go!"
Dunn was in a good mood and set off with these chattering girls. The only unpleasant thing is that there is something on the face, which is very awkward.
When they came to the Avenue of Stars, Dunn took the girls out of the car, and they all cheered.
Tang En hurriedly warned: "Hand in hand, don't run around. There are a lot of liars and traffickers here, especially Asians. Especially the items of the surrounding businesses, don't touch them."
"Ah? Why? Don't you have to look at the goods first?" Yui Aragaki expressed puzzlement.
Tang En curled his lips and said, "That's for the locals and Europeans. You are like this...you look like Asians who come to travel. The merchants choose you to slaughter, and there will be strong buying and selling. "
Warning, warning, this place is really busy.
As the most iconic street in Hollywood, it is full of dazzling sights.
Movie props, clothes, shoes, as well as movie-themed postcards, movie posters, and simulated Oscar statuettes are all available.
In addition to businesses, there are many artists on the roadside.
There are speed painters, street magic shows, and musicians of all kinds.
"Odu-chan, who is he? Very powerful, right?" Yui Aragaki took Tang En's hand and saw a particularly talented singer singing.
After singing, his album is sold.
Oh album!
It's not something that ordinary singers can produce.
This must be a famous singer!
"do not!"
When Tang En saw Masami Nagasawa and Nozomi Sasaki holding hands, they walked over curiously, so he hurriedly stopped them.
Unexpectedly, it was still too late.
I saw Masami Nagasawa curiously reaching out to pick up the CD, and the red-haired singer quickly took out a signature pen, wrote his name on the CD, and said, "$50!"
After following Tang En, of course there will be no shortage of money.
Nozomi Sasaki stupidly reached out and took out a $100 bill.
Such large-denomination banknotes are rare in the United States.
Ordinary Americans, the largest denomination that they carry is 20 dollars, and the rest are some coins. The United States has long entered cashless credit card spending.
The singer took the $100 bill, his eyes lit up, a self-evident smile flashed across his mouth, and he quickly said, "I don't have any change here... Forget it, I'll sell you another album, I have a new one. Yes, it's not on the market yet!"
After speaking, he quickly took out a different package of CD albums from the pocket around his waist, signed his name without any explanation, and handed it over.
Japanese society is dull and lacking vitality, and business promotions are also very rigid. Has Nozomi Sasaki ever seen such a scene? I found it very interesting, and happily took it over.
After "buying" the album, Masami Nagasawa and Nozomi Sasaki each held a signed CD, ran back happily, and showed off to Tang En, "Odu-chan, look! It's a signed version!"
Dunn couldn't help laughing, "You two... Know him?"
"I don't know, he must be a great singer. Look, there is an album here!" Nagasawa Masami proudly shook the CD in his hand.
A singer who can release an album is definitely not bad!
Tang En was speechless and said helplessly, "Yami, this is America, not Japan!"
"What's wrong?" Nagasawa Masami saw that Tang En's expression was wrong, and the smile on her face subsided.
Nozomi Sasaki was also very surprised, and tentatively said, "Is it easy to release an album in the United States?"
Tang En coughed lightly and said, "No, it's difficult."
"Isn't that enough?"
"The United States also protects intellectual property rights, but it is far less powerful than Japan. Japan does not have piracy, but it does not mean that the United States does not."
"Ah? Odo-chan, are you saying that these two albums are pirated?"
Dunn shook his head, "First of all, the price of 50 US dollars is too high, a normal music record ~www.novelbuddy.com~ US dollars is considered a high price. The cost of intellectual property rights in the United States is not as high as that in Japan. Secondly, if you buy pirated copies... ...that's all luck."
These Japanese girls have never seen such a world. This is a completely different society from Japan.
Yu Aoi couldn't believe it, "Is it good luck for piracy?"
Dunn said: "In my opinion, these two CDs are likely to be empty discs. Do you know how much the empty discs cost? It won't exceed 20 cents."
Masami Nagasawa and Nozomi Sasaki, who held the "album" in their hands, looked bitter.
Why is it happening like that?
"Isn't this a lie, I'm going to return it!" Nagasawa Masami stomped her feet angrily.
Tang En laughed and grabbed her little hand, "Okay, you can learn a little bit and learn a lesson in the future. It's not easy for people to cheat some money."
Masami Nagasawa and Nozomi Sasaki looked sick and pouted.
Tang En pulled the two of them one by one and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go over there and find the stars!"
"A star? Will a star come here?"
"No, I'm looking for it on the ground."
"On the ground?"
The girls reacted immediately and were very excited: "Okay! Looking for a star!"
The most important thing about the Walk of Fame is the stars of Hollywood stars that are mounted in the ground.
