"Good! One word, cool!"

In the projection room of Universal Pictures, with an exaggerated picture appearing on the screen, Andy could not restrain his smile and clapped his hands to praise him. Although it was not the first time to watch the B-level comedy hangover, he was still unable to close his mouth with laughter.

This is a very second movie. If the first night in the story is the second one driven by drunkenness, the next day's action to find the bridegroom and memory is to actively approach the second one in a clear consciousness.

In order to find and bring back friends before the wedding, everyone is constantly challenging their "two" limits, such as taking the initiative to accept the police's electric shock, negotiating with Tyson to transport tigers back to the villa, and trading with the Hei gang. Mr. Zhou of Huang Bo Yan flashes out, mimics the cheating like "rainman" in the casino, and disguises himself as a couple with Charlize Theron, the Tuo dancer, to protect his partner Escape... In the name of brothers, the men who are hard to breathe in life finally tear up the cage.

Even up to now, Andy is still intoxicated in the movie and can't extricate himself from it. Each bridge is constantly changing in his mind and even buzzing around his ears. The most important thing in the story is joy. First, the movie itself is really funny. It's not deliberately artificial and does not moan without illness, but its performance is also surprising. What a great satisfaction!

"From the beginning to the end, it's no exaggeration. It's so pleasant!"

Andy looks at the management of Universal Pictures and the producers and directors of the hangover group with the same happy smile on his face, and is not stingy about his praise.

"It's mainly your story. The script is wonderful." Director Todd Phillips's time to flatter.

"Ha ha, thank you, but I see that improvisation occupies a very large proportion and space in the film. Only when the director gives the actors a space to play in the shooting process can this good effect be achieved. It's wonderful. Good job! " Andy is very pleased with each other's flattery. He pats his hand on the director's shoulder and praises him a lot. The others are smiling. He is not uncomfortable with the boss's old-fashioned manner.

To be honest, the most unexpected achievement of this movie is the wonderful performance of Chinese actor Huang Bo after he joined in. For this, director Todd is not stingy about his praise to Huang Bo, a Chinese comedian who can still play with the crew even though he has some problems in language communication.

For Charlize's role as a guest dancer, it's also a bright spot to feed the baby with Nai. Although there are no restricted clips of Charlize in the film, they are still very attractive.

"I can start to publicize it. I believe that hangover will become the biggest black horse at the end of summer vacation. I'm confident that no one will refuse to let them laugh for 100 minutes!"

In the conference room of Universal Studios headquarters, Andy said with a satisfied smile on his face that the atmosphere of the conference was very relaxed and harmonious, and everyone had a happy smile on his face. Since the reorganization and integration of Universal Studios, it has become more and more different. Several successive films have been sold, which is definitely the most dazzling film company in Hollywood this year.

After Andy made the decision, the meeting went down. During this period, all the operations and the status quo of Hollywood were reported to him.

2009 is a good year for Hollywood. Although the economic depression hasn't completely subsided, the American film industry is booming for the first time. Faced with such a booming market, filmmakers can't stop naturally. Andy looks at several big productions and project plans of more than a dozen films in his report. He has an urge to scold people.

The people here really don't have any death toll, and don't think about the so-called good year of Universal Pictures. Who is it built on? If it wasn't for peak entertainment, where would universal film be brilliant? Summit Entertainment Project, but Andy Smith used the high-quality resources accumulated in his memory. This has not taken off yet. These guys are going to float...

What's more, this good year doesn't mean Hollywood will win. I'm afraid the reality is not optimistic because Wall Street has withdrawn its capital.

From the beginning of 2009, Mg chase, which was supposed to jointly underwrite $700 million of debt for DreamWorks, suspended the debt underwriting for the reason of market instability. Fortunately, founder Steven Spielberg raised $500 million from A-San, which made DreamWorks break up with paramount smoothly. However, the latter recently shelved a $450 million deal with Deutsche Bank that could fund 30 films, including a sequel to transformers due to be released this summer.

MGM has also run into some problems. Since mid-2008, MGM has been trying to close a $500 million deal to finance some films, including the 23rd in the 007 series and the next "iron clad velon.". MGM and RBS have been negotiating the deal for months. But the collapse of many banks has shocked the whole banking industry. Some banks have publicly said they would give up Hollywood and no longer invest in the film industry.

Of course, Hollywood and Wall Street are not new. No one knows when Wall Street will turn around again. Hollywood has always believed that big productions make big box office.However, the risk of issuance increases with the cost of production. Only by getting more shows and DVD sales around the world can high budget movies make money. And even if there is only praise and no sensation, it is a failure for Hollywood. Hollywood calls such big movies "grand events.". In the distribution mechanism of global film industry, the main standard for choosing "grand event" film is not the prospect of a film in China, but the potential of the film in the global market, not only the box office, but also the derivative products.

"It's not just about doing business," Andy said gravely. "We all face economic uncertainty. This is a good year, but in the future, it will become more and more difficult for Hollywood. In fact, Hollywood is in a depression, and no one has been there before. "

Andy waved and asked the staff to distribute a survey data report to each of the executives in the conference room. When they started to look at it, he said: "this big data shows that after the financial crisis, nearly 66% of American consumers changed their entertainment consumption habits in the fourth quarter of 2008, and consumers are giving up the cinema line , refuse to buy DVD and switch to big screen TV and Internet.

The problem is that the current situation is not suddenly difficult, but the clue has appeared before. It's just that Hollywood, immersed in the continuous capital marketing, doesn't realize it. After all, the taste and habits of the audience are more worthy of attention only in the depression.

Therefore, in the next period of time, our company's consistent marketing route also needs to be changed. We need to pay attention to small production again and study the audience's taste during the depression. Hangover will be an attempt. In addition, overseas marketing is more important than ever. In the market of TianChao, we need to invest more energy to develop the market of TianChao. Look at the American version The box office of transformers in China

"And if you can save, you can save." Andy used a polite but firm tone to inform all the executives present, "for quite a long time, look at how we usually spend money, and see what we get from doing this."

Looking at the helplessness and wry smile on people's faces, Andy also knows that saving alone can't save much. Open source is more important than saving money most of the time. Fortunately, Hollywood is not the first time to lose Wall Street, and capital may return in the next financial Renaissance. But Hollywood won't be able to climb out of the Great Depression until at least 2010, according to the think tank.
