Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 290
At the premiere of Lost, the audience who watched the movie were most impressed by the beauty of the pictures inside and the looks of the leading actors and actresses.

As for the fluency of the story, in their opinion, it can already be ranked behind.

There is nothing to say about the male protagonist's appearance, even the figure is excellent, tall and strong but not bloated, looks slender and thin, but has strong muscles, although only half of the body is exposed, but it is simply beyond the standard male figure of an art student The beauty of a model.

Of course, the heroine is not bad, Sophia's looks are still very good, not to mention a Hollywood actress, but at least she can be ranked among the top ten in the federation, and the advantage is that she is young and has a big director Blessed by the fame of his daughter, the two leading actors became popular immediately after the film was broadcast, and became the hottest new generation handsome spokespersons.

Even Xie Zihao's side has people sending endorsement invitations through James Berkeley. Of course, they are basically second- and third-tier clothing brands, or men's clothing series of those first-tier brands.

It's just that Xie Zihao's fame is not enough, so those big names only invite him to be the endorsement of a certain series, not the brand endorsement.

At this time, the movie had already been released for three days, and the lost film creators got together and boarded the luxury business car arranged by Sophia, and went to the southern city of San Diego to start the second publicity work outside of Los Angeles.

The business car has complete facilities, and it was used by Sophia Adam as a nanny car. It has a spacious space for four people to sit comfortably, and the bodyguard assistant and other entourage are driving behind and behind.

Sophia is on the phone with the studio.

"How's the box office going?"

Tracy, who followed after the call, immediately questioned her, and she looked more concerned than Sophia, the director and creator.

A rare smile appeared on Sophia's cold face.

"Very good, even better than I expected. As of yesterday's midnight show, the latest box office has accumulated to 150 million gold pounds. This is only the figure for the west coast. The east coast has to wait a few more hours because of the time difference and distance. come out."

Trish cheered:
"It's great! I didn't expect to make a lot of money by just investing a little money!"

Sophia glared at her best friend. Before cooperating with this woman, she never expected her movie to be successful!

James Berkley, who came with Xie Zihao, also happily praised:

"This is really a great result. As far as the performance of literary films is concerned, the lost box office has a high probability of hitting the No. [-] position in the art box office this year! Even hitting the top ten box office of the year is not without a chance..."

No wonder he was happy, as long as the movie was a big success, then the fame of his employer, Xie Zihao himself, would be further improved, and he could also earn more wealth from Xie Zihao.

And it's not just about money. Before he resigned from VVA, there were a lot of negative news in the circle. Later, it was said that he resigned before he was kicked out. Coupled with the impact of the divorce lawsuit, For a while, James Berkley was as worthless in the circle as a star who has passed away.

And when he once again picked out a popular new star and achieved success step by step, this achievement was not only the harvest of Xie Zihao, but also helped him clear up the previous negative rumors and re-establish his image.

It proves that he, James Berkeley, is still the senior agent with outstanding abilities and connections in Hollywood, not a down-and-out tramp who was kicked out.

Due to the bias of the law in the Federation, many heads of families lost their jobs and houses because of divorce lawsuits. They could only watch other men live in their houses, sleep with their wives, beat their children, and live on the streets without recovery.

What's more, sometimes even if it is obvious that the wife cheated unilaterally, the husband is always the one who gets hurt in the end, so it is no wonder that many rich people have to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage.

The reason why Berkeley is so happy is because the benefits of this movie to Xie Zihao's acting career are immeasurable. It is said that Tianhu's start is a bit exaggerated but it is almost the same. A young actor, who has grown into a hot newcomer in Hollywood, has some well-known famous movie actors all over the world.

Not to mention that there are no shadow film awards, but Lost’s box office of more than 150 million in the first weekend, plus the east coast can at least have almost the same figure, doubled to 300 million gold pounds, this is for a literary film Definitely a blast.

This means that the total box office of Lost will be at least [-] million. It is uncertain how much it will get. However, after the release, there will be copyright income from the video tape. It can be said that Sofia Cole's studio has made a lot of money.

According to Xie Zihao's understanding, tens of millions of gold pounds is similar to the box office of over [-] million in the United States in his previous life, so it is no wonder that many people want to develop in the entertainment industry, because the money is too fast.

In an era when a million-pound family property can be called a rich man, tens of millions of box office is definitely an income that can make the rich envious, even if most of it has to be allocated to the distributors and theaters.

As an insider, Berkeley understands what this achievement represents.

You must know that last year's box office champion's first weekend box office was only more than 800 million pounds, which seems to be several times higher than that of Lost, but the cost of that blockbuster is also dozens of times that of Lost.

Lost is a movie directed and acted by Sofia herself. In order to save costs, she does not receive any remuneration. The actors' remuneration and director's remuneration are all converted into the box office share. Except for the remuneration paid to Xie Zihao, other expenses of the film are regular expenses. It's mainly labor. All the equipment is rented from my father's film company. As a literary film, there are no special effects and special effects shots. Those are the most expensive ones in film production.

So the cost of getting lost is only 10,000+ gold pounds, which is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it can only be regarded as a small cost for a movie.

If it were some directors who are good at saving costs, they could make a similar movie by deducting one-third of the cost, but Sophia has relatively high requirements for her debut film, and she is not short of money, so there are many things to do When it is perfect, it will cost a little more.

But the score of about 300 million yuan in the first weekend, after deducting the distribution of the distributor and the theater chain, also allows the movie to be paid back in three days after its release, and it has also made a lot of money. All the box office can be said to be a net profit.

Not to mention the theater chain that took away a lot of box office revenue, MGM Pictures, one of the investors and overseas distributors, is already laughing. It was out of the face of the great director Cole that he voted for this project. 20.00%, now it seems that this deal is definitely profitable.

The big sale of the movie Lost is definitely the best news I have heard in more than half a year for MGM, which has lost several movies this year.

Although a movie can't get MGM out of the money-losing situation, it is definitely a shot in the arm for the precarious and fluctuating MGM. At least the stock price will not continue to fall sharply, so they have Relief opportunity for blood recovery.

Therefore, MGM has already contacted overseas channels, and invited the film's main creative personnel to conduct roadshows in major countries in Europe, and strive for the next overseas box office to explode.

Although because the overseas distribution was entrusted to MGM, the box office share that Sofia received as the producer was much less than that in China, but as a director, everyone wanted their works to achieve better results, so Sofia also agreed to MGM. According to May's request, cooperate with the other party's plan to carry out publicity.

Xie Zihao, who is the leading actor, of course has to participate, but considering Xie Zihao's status is unusual, Sophia also asked his opinion politely.
