"I don't think it's worth it!"

Walking into the theater with his companions, Terry was still arguing with one of them, "War is to fight for the greatest victory at the lowest price, and to die six people to save one person, without talking about anything else, from a simple war perspective, it is not cost-effective at all."

"You can't say that."

When several people walked to the ticket window, another man named Bridge retorted, "Imagine that today, because of this, I think it is not worth exchanging one life, and a mother's only son was ruined. Tomorrow, another mother will send a black-haired man for the same reason. In the long run, the solid traditional belief will become a promise of nothingness. Who can rest assured to let her relatives join the army to protect this country?"

Standing not far from the ticket window, Handington, an investigator from the app, smiled slightly. He had been here for an afternoon. He heard too many similar arguments, and this topic obviously became a social hot topic. Just like those who had just watched movies, the argument often ended with buying tickets to enter the cinema.

Obviously, the promotion and promotion of "Save Private Ryan" is doing a great job!

Handington, who has actual survey data, confirmed this, but compared with yesterday, "Save Private Ryan" also had some negative changes. Since yesterday, some media have hyped up black protests against the film, but today the news has not decreased. Although some black history experts have also stood up to speak for the film, based on his observations in this theater, the proportion of black audiences today has dropped significantly compared to the first day of the release.

From point to surface, public opinion has obviously influenced the choices of some black audiences.

However, compared with competitors in the same period, "Brave Heart", "Save Private Ryan"'s box office performance in the past two days is more than two levels higher!

Let’s talk about the theater where he is now. There is only one theater that is still screening "Brave Heart". Perhaps there is a relationship between competition and suppression by other companies. The lack of box office performance of the film is the key factor in the decline in the screening rate. From morning to afternoon now, according to his observation, less than 40 tickets of "Brave Heart" have been sold!

This is not a theater chain in a remote area. It is a famous theater chain located in the bustling places of Manhattan.

Handington also contacted colleagues scattered in other theaters in New York, and it is not difficult to see from the news that the first week of "Brave Heart" definitely failed to meet the $25 million expected by Paramount Pictures! $25 million is definitely an unattainable number for them!

The box office of "Brave Heart" is so poor today, except for the quality of the film itself and the huge gap between Mel Gibson and Duke Rosenberg in commercial production, it is also related to a piece of news that the tabloids hyped on a large scale today.

Many tabloids under News Corp. suddenly broke out today that Mel Gibson's father was a Nazist who had publicly denied the existence of the Jewish massacre, and Mel Gibson himself was also a supporter of an extreme political party in Australia...

Although the tabloid did not clearly say that Mel Gibson was a Nazi supporter, this meaning was hidden between the lines.

Think about it, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the victory of World War II, and tomorrow is Memorial Day. The whole United States is commemorating the war in various ways. At this moment, it suddenly revealed that Mel Gibson may be a supporter of the Nazis, and the impact on his video is of great importance.

During this day in the theater, Handington heard many audiences discussing Mel Gibson's question. A considerable number of people steadily gave up or even despised Mel Gibson's movies because of this.

This is a fierce day of competition. "Brave Heart" and "Save Private Ryan" are constantly smearing each other, and their methods are emerging one after another. It can be made into a tortuous movie.

Even, Handington believed that if winner Duke Rosenberg and loser Mel Gibson met here, they might have fought directly.

Will screen tough guy Mel Gibson win? Or will Duke Rosenberg, who once served as a quarterback, be more skilled? Handington believes this is a topic worth studying.

Perhaps Handington's idea was a bit subjective and one-sided, but Mel Gibson did want to beat Duke up at this time.

His black Lexus car was driving towards Paramount Pictures. Gibson in the back seat looked darker than the night in the Los Angeles sky. Even idiots and fools could tell that he was in an extremely bad mood.

"This bunch of damn Jewish pigs!"

This idea was always echoing in Mel Gibson's mind. The movie of the bastards suppressing him actually used such a method to reveal his old background in Australia.

“Mer…”

As soon as the PR sitting next to him spoke, Mel Gibson glared, "I said that my father and I haven't said those remarks. They are slandering and slandering!"

Although he hated Jews, Mel Gibson was not a fool and knew the influence of Jewish people in this circle.

Seeing that Mel Gibson was a little calmer, PR said patiently, "Mel, no matter if any reporter or paparazzi asks about these, you must firmly deny them!"

"I'm going to sue them!"

The film directed by the film was unfavorable and even made such a fuss, Mel Gibson was a little angry, "Surrendering the media to slander!"

"Calm down!" The PR raised his voice slightly, "Those tabloids wish you did this!"

Will tabloids care about others prosecuting defamation? They like celebrities to sue them the most, so that they can gain attention and attention.

Mel Gibson knew a little bit about the virtues of the tabloids under News Corporation and said hatefully, "Mail the lawyer's letter to them! And..."

Who is behind the tabloid? A face of a young director automatically appeared in his mind, "Find a way, think of everything that can make Duke Rosenberg unlucky!"

He can't afford to offend Warner and Fox, who were kidnapped by Duke Rosenberg for his interests. But the young director is still very experienced and is a lustful person who likes beauty, so he may not have no way to deal with him.

The car stopped at the door of Paramount office building. While Mel Gibson was waiting for the elevator, Ceo Shirley Lansing, who was sitting in the office, made a phone call with a serious expression.

"Mandino, it's me, Shirley."

After talking to the other party politely, she got to the point, "Imperial Entertainment can maintain the number of theaters released by "Brave Heart", right? We don't seek to increase. As long as we can maintain today's screening rate and release scale."

She said this without any confidence, after all, the box office of "Brave Heart" on Friday and Saturday was too miserable.

Sure enough, the earpiece came from the ceo Mandino's rejection, "Sherley, I can only say sorry."

"Mandino, do you think about it again? Mr. Lei Shidong..."

"Sorry, Shirley, this is not something I can decide alone." The other party not only refused, but even the reasons found were extremely legitimate. "The Brave Heart" box office was 2.75 million US dollars on Friday and 2.33 million US dollars on Saturday, and only 1.56 million US dollars today. Whether it is the box office of a single museum or the attendance rate, it is seriously lower than the bottom line of the theater company!"

What else Shirley Lansing wants to say? The other party has voluntarily hung up the phone.

The two parties have a contract, but the North American theater alliance is not stupid, and they sign floating contracts. If a film performs too poorly, the theater party can activate the relevant terms in the contract, reduce the film's screening scale or even force the film to be removed.

I called Amg again, and Shirley Lansing received a similar reply. The theater companies, like film companies, are commercial companies. The first thing I pursue is definitely benefits.

Sitting on a large office chair, Shirley Lansing smiled bitterly on the corner of her mouth. Paramount Pictures was ambitious to use "Brave Heart" to compete with Duke Rosenberg's "Save Private Ryan", but the result was as miserable as last year's "Shawshank Redemption".

Thinking of the box office of "Save Private Ryan" two days ago, Shirley Lansing even felt powerless.

$20.54 million on Friday and $21.14 million on Saturday. Although the box office fell on Sunday due to yesterday's protests, it still received $15.26 million as of 7:30 Western Time, which is a complete phenomenon!

Caa and Paramount Pictures, and even Mel Gibson's public relations team have done so many behind-the-scenes actions to set off fierce competition, but they are still unable to stop the pace of "Save Soldier Ryan", as if Duke Rosenberg is really the king of the summer season!

Without the influence of this series of fierce competition, how much would the box office of "Save Private Ryan" increase? Sherry Lansing couldn't say the specific number, but she probably increased by at least 15%. After all, there are many blacks and Latinos boycotting this video.

Even so, Paramount Pictures and Brave Heart were defeated.

"Does Duke Rosenberg and his works really invincible in the summer?"

Even though he is determined and has rich experience, and has several major companies in Hollywood, Shirley Lansing has had this idea.

The office door was knocked, and the secretary walked in with Mel Gibson, made a cup of coffee for him, and walked out again.

"Sherry!" Mel Gibson was a little anxious, and his voice seemed particularly loud. "I heard that Paramount was going to withdraw resources devoted to "Brave Heart"?"

"That's right."

This is a circle of speaking with commercial results. Shirley Lansing looked at Mel Gibson with a cold look. "Not only did the film perform poorly at the box office, but the audience's reputation that can reflect market potential has also dropped to 66%. It is no longer worth Paramount's investment."

Mel Gibson opened his mouth but said nothing. He was not a newcomer to Hollywood and naturally understood the rules of the game in this circle.

However, he would not be willing to do so. He was silent for only a few seconds and said, "The video is still saved, Shirley! Have you seen the performance of "Shawshank Redemption" in the video market? As long as we can win a few Oscars, we can completely turn the loss situation around."

"What if "Save Private Ryan" also sign up for O'Neo?"

Will the producer of that film let Oscar go? Sherry Lansing say nothing, and she will not believe anything, with unabashed sarcasm in her words, "During this special time this year, do you think "Brave Heart" can defeat "Save Private Ryan"?"

"Caa will fully support us in winning the prize!" Mel Gibson seemed extremely confident, "What if the director of "Save Private Ryan" broke out in a scandal?" (To be continued)
