After a short half-day break, the crew flew to New York on the second day. This time, Jeffrey is still taking people to pick up the plane, and there is a team of fireflies, responsible for "Snow in the Night" and "Little Ghosts 2 Lost" The preparatory work for New York.
Compared to Seattle, most of them are two of Jonah's father and son.
The shooting of the New York scene is a lot of trouble. From the role of the character, "Seattle Night Sleepless" in the New York scene, not only the Anne family, but also Anne's friends, colleagues and so on.
Eric feels that this plot design is likely to weaken the presence of Anne's boyfriend Walter, just like the appearance of a few shots of Sam's deceased wife Maggie.
Although for Sam and Anne, this is indeed a very romantic love story.
But for Walter, who has been engaged to Anne, it is a very sad reminder to be defamed for a 'inexplicable' reason on Valentine's Day.
Eric remembers some of the reviews he saw in previous lives, and there are comments on this matter, which are roughly criticism of Anne's infidelity and sympathy for Walter. However, in a country with a divorce rate of 50%, it seems that people don't care too much about it. To put it bluntly, in terms of politics and love, people in this country are pursuing two words: freedom.
Eric remembers not knowing where he has seen a word, true freedom, not doing what he wants to do, but not doing what he wants.
Although this sentence has the suspicion of ignorance, but. It's a good fit for Annie in "Sleep in Seattle", even if I am engaged. But when she discovered that Walter was not the one she was destined for, she still refused to accept the other party.
"How about the discussion of the Empire State Building and the Twin Towers?" I got off the plane. Sitting in a commercial car with Jeffrey, Eric's first sentence is two things he is concerned about.
These two things are about "Snow in the Night" and "Little Ghosts 2", Jonah and Kevin will be on the two tallest buildings in New York for shooting, until "Seattle Night Sleep" started shooting These two things have not yet been determined.
"It's all done," Jeffrey gave Eric a reassuring look and then said: "However, the management of the two buildings did not give enough time."
"Nothing. There aren't many lenses anyway, mainly the Empire State Building. The lens on the top of the Twin Towers only needs a few aerial shots." Eric nodded with satisfaction.
Jeffrey added: "There is one more thing. I have consulted the meteorological department in detail about the snow. The first snow in New York will have to wait until November, and it may be in the first week of November, but it is not. Too sure, after all, it's only in September, you know. The weather forecast has never been accurate. Maybe we are lucky, it's snowing at the end of October, or it's bad luck. It's not snowing until New York's New York is released. In short, you have to be mentally prepared."
Eric nodded: "This is nothing. You directly prepare people to make artificial snow. I try to put the location of "Little Ghost 2" in the final shooting. However, it will not delay for a long time, so I think 90%. Artificial snow may be used."
"I have already made estimates based on your script, although it doesn't need to be full of scenes. However, artificial snow should reach the point where the audience believes it. The budget will increase by about $1.5 million."
Eric heard that Jeffrey had a painful mood in his tone and patted Jeffrey's shoulder. Although the fireflies are now getting bigger and bigger, Jeffrey is still the one that Eric first saw, and he likes to be careful. However, this kind of personality is also the most suitable for producers: "Jeffrey, now it is not last year. When we made the first "Little Ghosts" last year, we must be careful, in order to save the budget and even to the far north of Canada. The town went to shoot. But the budget for our movie is very loose, so there is absolutely no need to save money."
"I also know that I am only subconsciously thinking that if I change the schedule of "Night at Night in Seattle" and "Little Ghost 2", perhaps this 1.5 million will be saved."
Eric laughed: "According to what you said, we finally waited for the natural snowfall, but it was able to save the 1.5 million. However, because of the extension of "The Devil's Home 2" to Christmas, we may lose at the box office. Tens of millions. You have to know that from the box office trend of the previous "Little Ghosts", this is a very suitable for long-term screening of children to the film, so we must extend the period of the festival as much as possible, 11 The end of the month is the beginning of the Christmas box office peak season."
"Then why not put "Seattle Sleepless" in late November, even if it does not form a vicious competition with "Little Ghost 2", I think it is okay after a week." Jeffrey asked again.
"Because "Seattle is not sleeping" is not only for Christmas, but also for the Valentine's Day in February, because this is a romantic comedy, if one month in advance, then in February, the film's Popularity is almost exhausted. But after December 2nd, after two months of screening, then after entering the Valentine's Day schedule, you can make a rebound in the box office of this love movie. You know, my movie, The large-scale box office harvesting cycle is more than eight weeks. For example, last year's first "Little Ghosts", which won a 10-week box office championship. Later, "Fengyue Beauty" and "Dark War" are both such."
Jeffrey smiled and said: "I really don't know where you learned these things. I originally wanted to tell you about the schedule of "Small Island", you Michael Ace Na will put "Small Island" on November 1st, I also feel very wrong, Halloween is really suitable for the release of horror movies, but those are small horror films with no box office ambition, although "Small Island Cry" is also small Production, but we have high hopes for its box office. Now it seems that you definitely have your own ideas."
Eric nodded and did not explain to Jeffrey that Jeffrey did not ask.
In fact, the concept of film schedules in the United States is now relatively mature, but after twenty years, it is still very rough.
Eric, who came from later generations, did not direct the film and did not do the work of distribution. However, in the era of information explosion, it was natural to understand the law of the distribution of some movies.
