Chatty Hollywood

"So, you just killed that serial killer so easily!?"

Charlize looked at Charlotte with a strange look on her face.

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Hey, Sally, what do you mean by that serial killer look on your face?"

"That's what it is!"

Charlize said unconvinced,

"Although you killed criminals, you did kill several people with spells during the previous times when you experimented with the Death Note, right? What is it if it's not a serial killer!?"

"That doesn't count!?"

Charlotte was stunned.

Then, he deliberately put on a vicious expression,

"Then are you afraid of me?"

"Afraid!? A little bit!"

Charlize said this, but her little action of biting her red lips revealed what she was thinking.

"I feel like I'm married to Frank Fast! So I'm kind of excited."

——Frank Fast, the Punisher, is one of the superheroes in Marvel Comics.

Unlike other traditional superheroes who can kill as little as possible, the Punisher is a dark superhero.

He will kill criminals cleanly and brutally.

——From this perspective, it makes sense for Charlize to say that Charlotte is like the Punisher.

——Of course, this also reveals from the side the fact that Charlize is not afraid of Charlotte because of this.

In this regard, Charlotte had to admit that her wife really had a big heart.

——Although, this is most likely a result of training after seeing countless ghosts and evil spirits.

"So, as the punisher's wife, shouldn't she fulfill her duties as a wife?"

Since the other party was not afraid, Charlotte naturally took the opportunity to make a joke.

In particular, since Ovelia was born, the two of them haven't had sex since Charlize needed to recover, which really made Charlotte a little bit unbearable.

But Charlize frowned,

"The recovery time is about the same, but I feel that some parts inside may not have fully grown yet..."

"That's it!"

Charlotte was a little disappointed, but then he remembered that there seemed to be other places that could be used.

So, he whispered a few words into Charlize's ear, and the latter seemed to be a little moved...

**********

At this time, it is already the third day after the premiere of "Sherlock Holmes" in the United States.

In addition to the United States, Canada and Mexico also had their premieres yesterday.

However, in the UK, where Holmes is from, the premiere may have to wait until the second week for some reasons.

Charlotte was not in a hurry.

In other words, Warner, who is responsible for distribution, is more anxious than him.

——Because "Sherlock Holmes" did very well at the box office in the United States.

It broke 50 million on the first day and 48 million the next day.

——It’s not even Sunday yet, and the movie’s first-week box office has already exceeded 100 million.

Even the sequels of some popular movies, such as "Star Wars Episode I" released last year, are not so exaggerated.

——This movie shot by Charlotte is completely inconsistent with the rule of Hollywood original movies having lower box office results in the first week compared to sequel movies. The box office results are simply scary.

Of course, this is nothing unusual for Charlotte.

Among the movies he shot, except for "Hell Detective" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which are two adaptations, the others are all original movies.

The premiere results of these films are getting better and better with Charlotte's continued success.

Especially after "Hell Detective", the first-time box office of Charlotte's movies has deviated from the first-time box office range of the original movie, and is completely in line with the sequel of the hit movie.

On the one hand, this is because Charlotte's continuous success has given Hollywood filmmakers and even audiences a sense of trust that "Charlotte's products must be high-quality."

——This sense of trust makes many viewers willing to walk into the cinema just because of Charlotte's name without knowing the specific plot of the movie.

——There are both die-hard Charlotte fans and many relatively sensible viewers.

Unlike other movies, everyone always wants to wait for others to try out Charlotte's work in the theater first, and then decide whether to watch it based on their recommendations.

"If you are interested in director Charlotte Booth's work, you don't need to wait for other people's opinions, just buy a ticket to see it. You won't be disappointed!"

There are a lot of similar statements in the "Sherlock Holmes" audience survey.

Audiences who hold this view will naturally go to the cinema in the first few days of the movie's release as long as the movie Charlotte shoots is a subject that interests them.

——It was them who gradually pushed the first-week box office of the Charlotte movie to an unbelievable level.

The more viewers hold this view, the more the Charlotte Film Distribution Company will dare to invest large sums of money in promoting the film before it is released.

——This kind of treatment of large-scale publicity in advance was mostly reserved for sequels of some popular movies.

This is another reason why the Charlotte movie's first-week box office is getting more and more abnormal.

After all, astute businessmen don't let the hawk see the rabbit before they see it.

For original movies, without the support of box office data, even the seven major Hollywood companies do not dare to make big bets on promotion and distribution.

They usually prepare two sets of plans -

If the box office data of the movie on the first day and the next day are average or even poor, the investment in publicity and distribution will be gradually reduced or even stopped directly in order to stop the loss quickly;

On the contrary, if the data is good, they will quickly invest the funds and manpower they have prepared long ago to increase the popularity of the movie as soon as possible to obtain more profits.

——Although according to the sharing habits between Hollywood film companies and North American theater chains, as the screening time extends, more and more box office revenue will be distributed to the theater lines.

——In other words, waiting until the movie is released before conducting large-scale publicity and distribution will be detrimental to both the production and distribution companies in terms of revenue.

But considering the safety of invested capital, film distributors will still do this.

——Unless it is a sequel to a popular work or an adaptation that is highly topical or originally had a large number of fans.

These works have an aura that can draw audiences into the cinema.

In this case, the distributor would dare to invest heavily in publicity before the movie is released.

——This is one reason why Hollywood generally believes that sequel movies are more likely to be successful and have higher box office openings.

And now, through the 100% box office success rate of her eight works in the past seven years, Charlotte has brought the credibility of her works to a level equal to that of the sequels of popular movies. Naturally, distributors dare to announce it. FaShang invested money in him.

Take "Detective Sherlock Holmes" as an example——

Because of Warner's trust in Charlotte, they directly secured more than 4,000 opening screens, and have been continuously promoting the film since the Oscars...

——Under such circumstances, it is only natural that "Sherlock Holmes" would have a box office explosion.
