Warner Pictures is preparing to launch the "Superman" movie in the summer season, and this news made Ye Jin somewhat uneasy.

Because the movie "Grease" is also scheduled to be released in the summer season. If two movies coincide, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Because [Superman] is one of the largest IPs under DC, it is quite well-known and is comparable to another IP [Batman].

Although Ye Jin has never watched the version of "Superman" for seven or eight years, he has watched "Superman Return" for 2006. This movie is said to be the fifth part of the "Superman" series, and the story continues from the fourth part.

It is already very telling that the fifth movie in a series can be made. Because the Hollywood giants have always been a [Phoenix without treasure], and they have never been reluctant to do business of losing money.

Since Warner Pictures is willing to film the fifth part of "Superman", this fully shows that the previous four movies must be sold for money. And it is not a small sale, but a big sale.

That being the case, if Superman collided with "Grease", it would be possible that "Grease" would be crushed to pieces.

The IP of "Superman" was born in 38 years, forty years. Based on ten years as a generation, it has affected four generations of people.

Therefore, when the first movie "Superman" in history was released, its fans will definitely support it.

Just like when "The World of Magic" was released in mainland China, many Warcraft players bought tickets overnight to watch it. The box office of the 10-hour event was as high as 49 million, almost breaking the record set by "Fast and Furious 7". In the end, "The World of Magic" had a box office of 1.47 billion, and most of them were paid for by fans' sentiments.

For the people of America, "Superman" has deeper and stronger feelings than "Warcraft", so its box office is naturally worth looking forward to.

Compared with "Grease", "Grease", it is not even a small IP. It is just a youth song and dance film adapted from Broadway opera. The biggest selling point is only two stars: John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer.

But in "Superman", there are two Oscar-movie: Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman. These two bigwigs are slightly better than those of John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer, both of whom are famous, status and acting.

Moreover, Superman's investment is around $30 million. It was filmed with the sequel, with a total investment of $55 million.

The total investment of "Grease" is only 6 million US dollars, which is not a small margin. Therefore, "Grease" faces "Superman" head-on, and has almost no chance of winning.

Therefore, one of Ye Jin's purpose is to find out the specific time of the release of "Superman".

...

"Mr. Anderson, when will your "Superman" be released?" Ye Jin asked George Anderson, the manager of Warner Distribution Department, curiously.

"To be honest, Mr. Ye, I don't know much about this." George Anderson waved his hand when he heard this.

Ye Jin was stunned and asked in surprise, "You are the distribution manager, don't know when the movie will be released?"

"There is another reason for this, mainly because "Superman" and "Superman Sequel" were filmed at the same time, so the progress is difficult to control. But I guess it will be released in July," Anderson explained.

In order to maximize profits, Ilia Solkind, the producer of "Superman", chose to start filming "Superman 1.2" at the same time. In this way, some scenes, special effects, props, etc. can be reused, which helps save costs.

Moreover, after filming "Superman 1, 2", it can also prevent the actors from demanding higher pay in "Superman 2" after the popularity of "Superman 1".

This kind of production method is actually quite common in the film industry. The second and third parts of the famous Hollywood science fiction film "Back to the Future" are filmed together.

The classic comedy of Xiangjiang "A Chinese Odyssey" was also filmed at the same time; there are also "East and West End" and "East and West End".

"In early July, mid- or late July?" Ye Jin continued to ask.

Because the movie "Grease" is also scheduled to be released in July. If it is released ten days apart, the impact will not be too big. But if the difference is only a few days, it will inevitably interfere with each other.

"To be honest, I really don't know. What I can be sure of now is that it will be released in July." George Anderson said helplessly.

He is just a distribution manager and cannot take care of the production department. What's more, Elya Solkind is not an employee of Warner, but an independent producer. He is also unsure of when "Superman" can be completed.

After hearing what he said, Ye Jin was disappointed.

Because "Grease" is about to start promotion, once the promotion starts, the schedule will basically be determined. At that time, it will be very troublesome to change it again.

It’s like due to this year’s epidemic, several movies that were about to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year have been withdrawn. This has also resulted in almost all the early publicity being invalid. When it is really about to be released, a lot of money has to be re-promoted.

And as the saying goes, one thing is good, one move will fade away, and three times will be exhausted. The same is true for the movie. When it is adjusted once, it will consume the audience's enthusiasm. When it is truly released, the audience's enthusiasm will be consumed, and the box office will naturally not be high.

"Okay, but our "Grease" is confirmed to be released in early July. I hope you will consider the schedule of "Superman" as appropriate." Ye Jin thought for a while and said to George Anderson.

Since "Grease" cannot take the initiative to avoid "Superman", we can only let "Superman" avoid "Grease".

"Grease" has two popular superstars, John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer, and is also a very popular youth musical and dance film that is now very attractive to young audiences. After all, the box office popularity of "Saturday Night Crazy" last year is obvious to all.

George Anderson nodded.

"Grease" is indeed a strong rival, and if possible, he doesn't want to be in a match with it.

...

At this time, two more people appeared in front of Ye Jin.

"Hello, Mr. Ye~" a girl greeted with a smile.

"Hello you guys." Ye Jin looked at the two of them, responded politely, and then was stunned.

I saw that he knew these two people, Brooke Xiaosi, and her greedy mother.

"Hey, are you two?" He was a little surprised. "Shouldn't you be filming in Rome?"

Brooke Little Silk was captured by Seerjo Leone and played the role of Deborah, the girl in "The Past of the United States". This character was originally played by Jennifer Connery in his previous life, and both of them were great beauties.

"Oh, that's right, Mr. Ye, Paramount has a new drama that is screening the heroine, so I took a leave to take Brooke back to audition." Terry Xiaosi quickly explained, "Director Leonel is also allowed to take a leave."

"Okay." Ye Jin nodded. Since Director Leone has approved the fake, he will not talk much.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, thank you for enabling my daughter." Tari Xiaosi said with a smile again, her smile was still the same standard and false.
Chapter completed!
