In one year, Cao Yu reached the position that his elder brother Cheng Long and the Kung Fu Emperor combined with Li's many years of hard work in Hollywood. This speed is not unsatisfactory.

But today's entertainment industry is so fast-paced, and the pace will get faster and faster.

After the global promotion, Cao Yu returned directly to Hollywood.

It’s impossible not to come back! [Spider-Man] will be released soon. As the male protagonist of [Spider-Man], he has to appear on the stage at the premiere no matter what.

And now the time has come to nearly October. If [Spider-Man] is not released and is delayed until mid-November, then [Spider-Man] will have to face the annual blockbuster created by Warner Bros.——[Harry Potter]

Potter and the Philosopher's Stone].

[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone] is not an easy bone to chew.

And even if [Spider-Man] chews off the 'bone' of [Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone], there is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses.

And this kind of thing is not a good thing for Cao Yu.

After all, Cao Yu also played a character named Severus Snape in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" - although it was a supporting role.

But the feeling of being in a ring with myself is really a feeling that leaves me speechless.

There are many reasons why [Spider-Man] has been delayed until now instead of being released during the summer vacation. After all, everyone knows that the summer vacation is a fat one.

On the one hand, the post-production of "Spider-Man" takes a certain amount of time, and on the other hand, the momentum of "Lord of the Rings" is really terrifying.

[Lord of the Rings]'s global box office total of 800 million US dollars is like a dark cloud. It is almost October now. It has ravaged the global movie market for nearly four months before slowly dissipating, leaving the global movie market with a lot of space.

A pure sky emerged.

Don't look down on these 800 million and think it's nothing.

You must know that "Lord of the Rings" is a movie produced and distributed outside of the six major Hollywood movies. Due to its own channel and publicity problems, it suffered a big loss in box office revenue.

But this "Lord of the Rings" has grossed more than 800 million and close to 900 million US dollars at the box office.

This shows how terrifying [The Lord of the Rings] is.

During this period of time, there were not many stupid people who wanted to compete with "Lord of the Rings", including those from the six major Hollywood studios.

But the result is cruel and the end is miserable.

In Cao Yu's past life, he has no memory of other movies during the period when "Lord of the Rings" was released, which shows the majesty of other "Lord of the Rings" movies.

This is just the first part of The Lord of the Rings.

After this battle, the reputation of "Lord of the Rings" has been greatly reduced. The next two installments will basically save tens of millions of publicity expenses due to the strong performance of the first installment - after all, there are fans of the success of the previous installment.

addition.

And this is why the Big Six in Hollywood, or in other words, all studios in Hollywood and even around the world, like to create trilogies.

Save money!

Not to mention ordinary companies, even the Big Six in Hollywood cannot afford to spend so many dollars on every promotion, which is all real money!

With the fan bonus of the successful previous film, this second film will not only gain a large number of fans, but also only need to spend a small amount of US dollars to achieve a huge publicity effect when it is released, which will greatly increase the success rate of the film.

improve.

How does this make studios dislike series.

If any film and television company has a famous series of works, it will not only gain more knowledge for itself, but also give it an extra chance to save its life. When the company's poor performance affects the stock price, or the company is approaching bankruptcy.

If you take out this series, whether you shoot it yourself or jointly shoot it with others, you will be able to gain a lot of funds and fame temporarily, and the company will be able to make a lot of money, and maybe it will come back to life.

Therefore, the series of movies is a life-saving straw for major film and television companies! It is a life-saving straw that is always held in the palm of one's hand and can be used multiple times.

Naturally, the more life-saving straws, the better.

Therefore, whether it is the Big Six or other film and television companies in Hollywood, they are constantly focusing on series of movies.

Of course, if this thing is so good, it is naturally difficult to get it, otherwise it would not be a bad thing on the street.

Movie series are life-saving straws for film and television companies. They function like insurance, but just like insurance, since you want a guarantee, at least you have to invest money!

The same goes for the movie series, which is never easy to make.

Over the years, Hollywood has seen a series of movies that can become life-saving straws for the six major Hollywood companies.

not much!

In other words, there were very few, if Cao Yu counted them on his fingers.

As of 2001, there are Star Wars series, Mission: Impossible series, 007 series, Raiders of the Lost Ark series, Jurassic Park series, Home Alone series, Superman series, Batman series, and Men in Black series.

Although there are so many of them, many of them have expired.

Among them, the Raiders of the Lost Ark series, the Home Alone series, the Superman series and the Batman series are all in the past tense. Jurassic Park has completely come to an end in a few years and will not be revived again until ten years later.

Among them, Sony Columbia only has a Men in Black series, which is so miserable that it doesn't work anymore.

Moreover, Sony is not only miserable now, but also in the future. It only has a Spider-Man series to support its appearance. Its quality is average and continues to decline, which has led Sony Columbia to make various fancy adaptations of the [Spider-Man] series.

Of course, there is even worse Paramount.

So Sony Columbia has high hopes for [Spider-Man] at this time, and is pointing at [Spider-Man] to turn around!

…

"Please come inside, please come inside."

The emcee stood in the lobby of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, receiving an endless stream of stars of all kinds who passed the red carpet to take photos from the media and then walked in.

Of course, Cao Yu and [Spider-Man] director Sam Raimi don't need to do the job of standing at the gate to greet guests.

However, as the main creative staff of [Spider-Man], the two of them still wanted to express their gratitude to the guests for coming to the premiere of [Spider-Man], so although they did not have to greet the guests, they stood at the door and greeted the guests with smiles.

.

This bustling group of guests are all well-established in Hollywood and have high status. They are basically all well-known Hollywood movie stars with over a million-dollar salary. Among them are some top movie stars, quasi-stars, superstars and superstars.

Being able to invite a character of this level, Cao Yu, a newly debuted character, naturally does not have this style, nor does director Sam Raimi. Maybe this time "Spider-Man" has exploded at the box office. In the future, Sam Raimi will

Can have this appeal.

But now Sam Raimi doesn't have the charisma and connections.
