"good! One word, cool!"

In the screening room of Universal Pictures, with the exaggerated photos appearing on the film screen, Andy couldn't restrain his smile on his face and clapped his hands to praise him. Although it was not the first time he watched the B-level comedy "The Hangover", he was still laughed at him.

This is a very second movie. If the first night in the story is a passive second, which is caused by drunkenness, then the next day, the action of finding the groom and memory is to actively move towards second with a clear consciousness.

In order to find and bring your friends back before the wedding, everyone is constantly challenging their own "two" limits, such as actively accepting electric shocks from the police, negotiating with Tyson to transport the tiger back to the villa, and helping with Hei to deal with Mr. Zhou, played by Huang Bo, appeared in a flash, imitating "Rain Man" cheating in the casino, and playing a couple with the dancer Charlize Sailon to cover his companion to escape... The men who were imprisoned in life finally broke the cage in the name of brothers, and made a total of two fights.

Even now, Andy is still intoxicated and can't extricate himself in the movie. The plots are constantly changing in his mind, and even buzzing in his ears. The most common story is joy. First, the film itself is really funny, not deliberately pretending or whining without any illness, but its performance is also surprising. It is really great satisfaction!

"It's not an exaggeration to laugh from beginning to end, and there is no gap and joy!"

Andy looked at the management of Universal Studios and the producer and director of the "Hangover" crew with a happy smile on her face, and was not hesitant to her compliments.

"It's mainly your story, boss, and the script is wonderful." Director Todd Phillips flattered him without hesitation.

"Haha, thank you, but I saw that improvisation has a very large proportion and space in the film. Director, you gave the actors a space to play during the filming process to achieve such good results. It's very exciting and did a good job!" Andy happily accepted the other party's flattery, reached out to pat the director's shoulder, and praised it very much. The others also looked at it with a smile, without any discomfort with the boss's old-fashioned style.

To be honest, the most unexpected gain of this movie is the wonderful performance of the Celestial actor Huang Bo after joining. Director Todd is not stingy with his praise for Huang Bo, a Celestial comedian who can still be in harmony with the crew even though he has some problems with language communication.

As for Charlize's guest dancer, feeding babies and eating nai is also a highlight. Although there are no restrictive-level scenes of Charlize in the film, it is still very attractive.

"It's time to start promoting. I believe that "Hangover" will become the biggest dark horse at the end of the summer season. I am full of confidence in this. No one will refuse the movie that will make them laugh for 100 minutes!"

In the conference room of Universal Pictures headquarters, Andy said with a satisfied smile on her face. The atmosphere of the meeting was very relaxed and harmonious, and everyone had a happy smile on her face. Since Universal Pictures reorganized and integrated, it has become different from the past. Several consecutive movies have sold well, and it is definitely the most dazzling film company in Hollywood this year.

After Andy made the decision, the meeting continued to go downward. All the operating conditions and the current situation of Hollywood during this period, their subordinates began to report to him in a simplified manner.

2009 was a great year for Hollywood. Although the economic depression had not completely subsided, the American film industry was booming unprecedentedly. Faced with such a booming market, filmmakers naturally could not stop. Andy looked at the sudden extra productions and project plans for more than a dozen movies in his report, and he had the urge to curse.

There was really no death count among the people present, and they didn't think about who the so-called good years of Universal Pictures was built on? If it weren't for the merger of Tempo Entertainment, where would Universal Pictures have come from? The Tempo Entertainment project, but Andy Smith used the high-quality resources in his memory to accumulate. Before this took off, these guys were about to float away...

What's more, this good year does not mean that Hollywood will definitely win. The reality is probably not optimistic because Wall Street withdraws its investment.

In early 2009, MG Chase, which was supposed to jointly underwrite $700 million in debt for DreamWorks, suspended the debt underwriting on the grounds of market instability. Fortunately, founder Spielberg raised $500 million from Assassin, allowing DreamWorks to break up with Paramount. However, the latter recently put a $450 million deal with Deutsche Bank, which could fund 30 films, including the sequel to "Transformers" which is scheduled to be released this summer.

MGM has also encountered some trouble. Since mid-2008, MGM has been trying to reach a $500 million deal to raise some films, including the 23rd and next "The Marble Veyron". MGM has been in talks with Royal Bank of Scotland for months on the business. But the banking industry has been trembling with the banking industry, and some banks have publicly stated that they have given up Hollywood and no longer invest in the film industry.

Of course, the breakup between Hollywood and Wall Street is no longer new. No one knows when Wall Street will look back. Hollywood's old creed is: Only big productions can have big box offices.

However, the risk of distribution increases as production costs rise. Only when more screenings and DVD sales revenues are obtained globally can high-budget movies make profits. Even if there is only positive reviews without sensation, this is also a failure for Hollywood. Hollywood calls such large-scale films a "major event". In the distribution mechanism of Universal Pictures, the main criterion for choosing a "major 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 a business," Andy said with a serious expression. "We will all face economic uncertainty. This year is a good year, but in the future, it will become more and more difficult for Hollywood. In fact, Hollywood is in a deep depression and no one has been there before."

Andy waved his hand and asked the staff to issue a survey data report to each executive in the conference room. When everyone got one and started to look through it, he spoke: "This big data shows that after the financial crisis, nearly 66% of American consumers changed their entertainment consumption habits during the fourth quarter of 2008. Consumers are giving up theaters and refusing to buy DVDs and turning to the arms of large-screen TVs and the Internet.

The problem is that the current situation is not suddenly becoming difficult, but the clues have already emerged. It is just that Hollywood, immersed in the continuous capital marketing, has not noticed it. After all, the audience's tastes and habits are only worth paying attention to when it is in a depression.

Therefore, in the next period of time, our company's usual marketing route needs to be changed, focus on small productions again and study audience tastes during the depression. "Hangover" will be an attempt. In addition, overseas marketing seems more important than ever. In the Celestial Market, we need to invest more energy to explore the Celestial Market and see the box office of the Celestial Market that failed in the US. "Transformers" in the Celestial Market!"

"Also, save as much as possible." Andy notified all the executives present in a polite but firm tone. "For a long time, see how we usually spend money and see what we get after doing this."
