Chapter 254: Maybe you should do something.

"What is your name, which newspaper is it?"
"My name is George No.... Linde, a reporter for "Hollywood Online." George Nosson said that half of them had quickly made a pseudonym for themselves.
Eric didn't realize that George Nosson was lying, nodded and asked: "You just said that "Small Island" was released on November 1st is a very stupid choice, then your reason? ?"
George Nossen replied confidently: "It's very simple. Although it is Halloween on November 1st, there are also many horror films that will be released during this period, but this is not really a hot period, even the good schedule is counted. No, the total box office of these weeks is no different from the film season. Since Disney and Firefly have high hopes for this movie, then it will be released on November 1st, not stupid, or maybe you In fact, I didn’t have any confidence in "Small Island", but I left this movie in a class like the cannon fodder cemetery?"
After listening to George Nosson, Eric couldn’t help but look at the other side. This middle-aged man dressed as a paparazzi can be much better than those who only know the star: "Since you can say the head, Then you should also know that there are always a few movies in the top ten box office in Hollywood every year. Their release time is neither summer nor Christmas, but they still squeeze into the ranking with their own excellent quality. In the list."
"Mr. Williams, I understand what you said. Just like the "Flying Childhood" released in the past few weeks, Samsungfilm was originally very dissatisfied with the film before it was put on the door. In October, but the box office dark horse, which has only a few million dollars, has now won nearly $60 million in box office and may even become a competitor to "Small Island Cry". But Mr. Williams. You don't have To answer my question, the dark horse movies you mentioned were put down to the off-season because they were not optimistic in advance. But "Small Island" is obviously a movie that was highly anticipated by Disney and Firefly, and also in Venice. The Silver Lion Award was won at the festival."
Eric smiled slightly. The tone said confidently: "I have just answered you, as long as the quality of the film is excellent, sometimes it can ignore the schedule."
Ignore the schedule? !
George Nosson's eyes widened in surprise, and some of the more professional journalists in the crowd were surprised.
Eric’s words are really too arrogant.
Throughout Hollywood, no director or producer dared to say such things with confidence. Most people are sharpening their heads and want to put their movies in the summer or New Year. Because everyone knows that a good movie schedule means higher box office income. However, Eric in front of him not only did the opposite, but also screamed slogan ‘Ignore the schedule’.
Many paparazzi are keenly aware that this will be a very explosive topic, and they will involuntarily push forward and push the recorder in their hands to Eric.
George Nosson also knows that this will be a controversial topic. He even has a preliminary draft in his heart. I believe many people will see Eric Williams’ arrogance on the side tomorrow, and if "Island Cry" did not achieve unexpected results, then. Eric Williams will face the face and even have a big impact on the box office results of his next few movies during the New Year.
However, although I thought so in my heart. George Nosson still looked at the Eric with the recorder and harmlessly, and asked: "Mr. Williams, you just really mean that the movie "Small Island" can completely ignore the limitation of the schedule. Go to the high box office?"
Eric shrugged and nodded. "Since I put the film on November 1st, I definitely have this confidence in my heart."
The group of reporters outside the cordon line once again issued a faint sigh.
After Eric finished, he ignored the crowd and pulled up Virginia to walk into the theater.
"Hey, Mr. Williams. Can you explain it in detail?"
"Mr. Williams, why do you have such confidence in this film?"
"Mr. Williams..."
In the scream of crazy reporters behind him. Eric took Verginia to the top of the cinema without returning.
Because the premiere will start at seven o'clock, so the two did not go directly to the auditorium. Instead, under the guidance of the staff, they went to the lounge that was prepared in advance, and the star guests who came to the party were waiting there.
Walking in the VIP passage, Virginia said softly: "Eric, if you just said that, would it be wrong?"
"Do you even have confidence in me?" Eric asked with a smile.
Vignia shook his head quickly: "No, of course I have confidence in you, but anything can be unexpected, in case... in case... you will definitely be laughed at."
Eric appeasefully pinched the girl's little hand: "Do not worry, no."
Vegniya opened his mouth and said something, but he was walked into the lounge by Eric Carat.
I have been greeted with many stars who have come to cheer for it. After ten minutes or so, Disney's ceo Michael Eisner also came to the scene.
"Eric, you just heard the words you just had on the red carpet." As soon as he met, Michael Eisner said to Eric.
Eric picked up his eyebrows: "Mr. Eisner, do you think that my words are very inappropriate?"
Michael Eisner shook his head. "I just think that you are too risky to say this. In fact, even I am very curious. Why do you insist on putting this movie on November 1st? Now I am following you. Do, you should always tell me the reason."
"Let's go over there," Eric pointed to a set of sofas that were not far from the wall.
Michael Eisner nodded and walked with Eric. The people in the lounge wanted to get down with Eric and Michael Eisner, but saw two people have something to do. The appearance of the consultation, but also very interesting, did not come back.
"Actually, I had this idea a long time ago, probably before the release of "The Dark War."" Eric said, looking at Michael Eisner and saying: "At that time I I think that since the end of this year, there have been five films related to me, so why not create a beautiful Grand Slam miracle in this period?"
"Grand Slam, Miracle?" Michael Eisner repeated the two key words in Eric's words, but did not want to understand that the word Grand Slam has anything to do with the movie, not a game.
Eric did not sell off, and soon said: "Mr. Eisner, "Small Island" was released on November 1st. After we made a lot of publicity, it would be no problem to win the two-week box office championship. "Little Ghost 2" was released on November 17. Last year, the film won a full 10-week weekly box office, and I watched the film released during the same period, only "Fatal Weapon 2" and "Back to the Future 2" You can compete with "Little Ghost 2", but the crowds of the two movies are obviously not enough to compare with the popularity of "Little Ghost 2". Even if this sequel box office will be reduced, then win the five-week box office championship. It’s definitely no problem. Finally, Christmas,
Seattle Sleepless
continues to win the box office championship. I have seen that there is no big movie this Christmas, so I can still sit down the weekly box office champion, as long as There is no strong movie, then maybe I can keep this state until February. And, as long as we promote this gimmick, then several movies in this 'relay' will be To more attention, which is among the few films at the box office also played a role in mutually reinforcing. "
When Michael Eisner heard Eric's plan, he was shocked and unable to add. The young people around him obviously wanted to occupy the entire New Year!
A weekly box office movie will be able to win at least 30% of the box office for a week, plus the box office that won't be in the top movie, the number will rise to at least 40%, according to the total box office of $600 million at the end of the year. These films will win a total box office of $240 million. This does not seem to be much. Even the total box office of the first "Little Ghost" was not met. But don't forget, after the New Year, these movies have at least one to three months of box office harvesting, and the total box office won't be much less than the figure of $240 million.
On average, five movies, each with at least $100 million in box office.
If this is the case, among the top ten in the box office list this year, the fireflies will occupy at least five positions. This is obviously a matter of letting the seven major film companies face their faces.
Even if Disney is a profiter in this matter, Michael Eisner now has no feeling of excitement.
Maybe, what to do.
Michael Eisner had such a thought inexplicably.
After seeing a few young people who were still smug, Michael Eisner licked his lips, smacked Eric's shoulder and encouraged a few words, then got up and left.
Eric sat on the sofa for a while, because he just saw something different in the eyes of Michael Eisner, but specifically, he didn't want to understand, telling Michael Eisner. After this ambitious plan of his own, Eric himself was a little excited, so he did not analyze in detail the meaning of Michael Eisner's fleeting eyes. (To be continued)
