Dressed in a suitable Beige professional suit, she has four inches of hate sky high on her feet. Her long golden hair is scattered behind her head like silk. She walks through the corridor of fox building which belongs to the production department floor with high spirits. Kara Firth does not hide her feelings. She wants everyone to see that she is very successful and strong. This department will change one soon Female director!
This is not only a matter of character, but also a strategy, because Carla Firth knows very well that Dave Scola, who is on the same floor of the office, can definitely see this.
She is putting pressure on the other side. Only when the pressure is big enough, can Dave Scola do more actions and make more mistakes.
Passing by the door of Dave Scola''s office, Carla Firth walked all the way to the end of the corridor and turned into her own office.
"Hello, Miss faith."
In one of the rooms outside the suite office, the female secretary welcomed her. She could see that her boss was in a very good mood today. She followed her into the office inside. Carla Firth turned to the back of the desk and sat down. She took a drink from her glass. As in the past, the temperature was just right.
The secretary took an A4 from the folder, put it on the table in front of Carla Firth and said, "this is your itinerary today."
Carla Firth picked up the itinerary and looked at it. The Secretary continued, "bill rosis, director Stanton''s agent, just called and asked us to continue to put pressure on the propaganda department to further heat up the topic with DC."
"Well, I see." Carla Firth nodded. "I''ll communicate with CAA people."
The phone rings suddenly. Kara Firth looks at the company number. He picks up the phone and says, "Hello, this is Kara Firth."
"It''s me, Lee." The person in charge of the market research department called, "Congratulations, Carla. The first shot started when I came to the company."
"Thank you." Carla Firth gave a faint smile. "It''s Murphy who did it well."
The other side said, "it''s your cooperation. It seems that the other party made a special call to say congratulations, and then hung up. The call seemed to be the beginning. In the later time, the telephone rings on Carla Firth''s desk one after another, and almost all the heads of most departments of the company made congratulatory calls.
The other office not far from this office is a lonely one. It''s also a suite office. The Secretary sitting outside feels like he is sitting in an ice cellar. In the room of his boss, there is a kind of extreme cold that seems to freeze people.
She sat here quietly. She would never enter the office without calling. No one would like to be someone else''s vent tool.
In the office, there was no expression on Dave Scola''s face, because he knew very well that he would really face the strong competition of a woman.
He originally knew that Carla Firth was a very powerful woman, otherwise she would not be where she is today, but she was just a novice in the film industry. It was a daydream to squeeze him out and become the director of the production department.
Although Kara Firth has made some troubles in the project of the kingdom of heaven, those who can make troubles may not be able to make a successful film. Moreover, deadman himself is only a second-line comic hero with limited influence. Needless to say, the total investment of the film is only 60 million US dollars, which is nothing.
In addition, a few months ago, he also learned about a situation. Because of the lack of budget, Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth, the crew, in the final part of the film, made a funny scene in which the dead waiter left his backpack full of ammunition in the taxi, so as not to shoot a big scene which cost a lot of money. They just used some dirty hand to hand combat instead.
At that time, he almost laughed. He wanted to run to the two guys and ask them, are you making a movie or playing a family game?
What happened? This so-called joke, not only did not affect the "dead man" film in the audience''s reputation, but has become a hot topic on the Internet.
On the computer screen in front of Dave Scola, there was an eye-catching comment from the audience, "the biggest obstacle of the film is actually the final showdown. The waiter left his weapons and ammunition in the taxi and forgot to take them, which saved the crew the cost of making a big show. Murphy Stanton is too smart to be admired!"
"Agreed!"
"Murphy Stanton is typical of big things with small money."
There is a voice of approval and agreement under this comment. It seems that all fans are brainwashed by Murphy Stanton and Kara Firth.
Even if it''s obviously shoddy work, can we amuse ourselves with it? Do all the fans who like "dead man" have problems with their heads? Were they all hit by pigs? When it''s raining, there''s no umbrella and water in it?
Dave Scola looks puzzled. What''s wrong with the market? This is not the North American film market I know?He closed the page to reveal the official blog of entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times below. The most striking part of the blog is the box office statistics on the first day of the weekend.
Even if the audience is suspected of having brain problems and flooding, it''s an indisputable fact that they pay for the dead man.
"& amp; lt; the dead man topped the box office in North America on Friday, breaking the box office record on Friday in April and the opening record of the first day of film production in North America in April!"
In just one day, Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth joined hands to break two North American film history records!
The top management of the company can''t turn a blind eye to this. All these will become the competitive capital of Carla Firth!
The following is a detailed description of the box office. Dave Scola didn''t want to see it, but he was tired of it and forced himself to watch it. Only when he knew enough about his competitors could he be invincible.
"The North American film market, which has been silent for several weeks, finally ushered in a heavyweight masterpiece this weekend. The R-class superhero movie" the dead man ", produced and released by 20th Century Fox and directed by Murphy Stanton, a young director with distinctive personal style, opened on a large scale in the North American market on Friday. It easily won $7.52 million in advance on Thursday and another $2.08 million in one day on Friday According to the calculation rules of the current market, the box office of the first day is included in advance. In this way, the box office of the first day of the premiere of "dead man" easily cut $27.6 million, becoming the new holder of the box office record on Friday in April, and breaking the first day opening record of the North American film market in April.... "
This number makes Dave Scola feel very dazzling, because it''s only one day''s box office, and it''s still Friday, and generally it''s going up on Saturday.
"Los Angeles Times" also made a prediction below, those numbers are not dazzling, but gouge out the heart!
"We expect that by the end of this weekend," the dead man "is expected to make $75 million at the box office, which is far higher than the $30 million to $45 million forecast of 20th century fox."
This estimate almost keeps up with the box office of "X-Men 2" in the first week. You should know that "X-Men 2" is a sequel to the blockbuster series, while "death watch" has no fan base before!
Dave Scola''s biggest hope is that the box office of "the dead man" will drop sharply this Saturday, presenting a joke of high opening and low going.
However, the following statistics make him clear that the so-called hope is just wishful thinking. Since Murphy Stanton entered Hollywood, which film has not both audience and professional reputation burst at the same time?
"While the box office of" dead waiter "is rising, its reputation is also strong. The cinema score gives a + rating, and rotten tomatoes are 86% fresh. With the help of word of mouth, the box office of xiaojianjian will continue to rise in the future... "
Will continue to rise! Will continue to rise
This line is like a knife, deeply engraved into his mind through the eyes of Dave Scola. The freshness of rotten tomatoes doesn''t matter. The important thing is that the Cinescore gives a + live audience rating, which almost means that "dead man" will not only go high this weekend, but also have great stamina!
Dave Scola''s heart began to stir up unconsciously. The box office of "dead man" in North America will definitely not be $150 million! How much would that be? 200 million dollars? Or Higher?
Different from before, at this moment, Dave Scola deeply felt the threat. The success of a film is nothing. What if Carla Firth succeeds continuously? It''s bound to threaten your position.
With his help, Carla Firth is likely to continue to succeed.
When Dave Scola closes his eyes, Murphy Stanton''s resume is very clear in his mind. This young director, who is just 24 years old, has not only made every film a big seller since he entered Hollywood, but also obtained super high returns at relatively low cost.
Kara faith has Murphy Stanton''s help
"It''s not without the benefit of the big sale of the dead man," said Dave Scola, turning off the computer. "At least it shows me where Carla Firth is strongest and where she is most deadly."
"Murphy Stanton!" He bent his fingers and tapped on the table. "Murphy Stanton..."
As long as we can break up the combination of Carla Firth and Murphy Stanton, the future situation will be very different.
Dave Scola gradually regained self-confidence, "a film is only a success, as long as I can continue to succeed, the position of director is still mine!"
He turned his head slightly and looked to the wall on one side of the office. It was an elaborate poster with a medieval look of Orlando Bloom and Eva Green.
Although this year there is no super production led by him, but next year there will be such a huge production as "the kingdom of heaven", which is bound to pull back one city.
"In order to prevent accidents," Dave Scola also made a decision, "I want to be further involved in the production." (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
