Chapter 275

"Is it too rushed to release in December?"

"It's been less than two months since we finished filming. I know the film is done and we've all seen it, but—"

"It's just a little too rushed. Shouldn't we be focusing on building boutique?"

Twentieth Century Fox, which is applying for a commercial rebrand, is holding its sixth executive meeting this month for the "Peggy Carter" movie.

As the first priority project of the internal review S+, "Peggy Carter" got all the best treatment and was extremely valued.

Until the samples were actually submitted, some executives became hesitant.

Julie Anchar, the executive vice president who is also the project leader, said: "What are you worried about? "Harry Potter" took a shorter time to enter the release and release, and then achieved century-old box office results. You should Know how many billions of dollars Real Me Productions made with Warner!"

These words silenced the people in the conference room, and no one was envious of the two IP series in Rhea Noren's hands.This "Peggy Carter" was still acquired by Fox after a lot of effort.

Julie Anchar said: "This is the new Hollywood era. Filmmaking is already changing everyone, and we all have to learn to adapt."

This is a polite statement.

Be bold, it all comes down to Rhea's time.She has indeed ruled Hollywood in a disguised form, and the entire industry chain has entered a transformation ahead of schedule.

Of course, they can also stick to the original production mode, but they will become niche, retro, nostalgic, and fall from popular to marginal.

The giants of Hollywood studios have surrendered one after another, and the remaining independent production companies are likely to be difficult to resist.

Such is the sweetness and misery that Rhea Noren brings to the industry.

People love her and people hate her.

"Of course, semi-holographic, holographic." Someone muttered: "This technology itself is a gold absorber, Silicon Valley, Wall Street... now it is used everywhere."

It's not just giving Rhea Noren money in Hollywood.

After Real Me Productions annexed Miramax Films, it announced several major co-production plans in one go, with great momentum.Through professional operation, Real Me Production borrowed film technology to establish another Real Self Technology Company, and cooperated with Lex Luthor's group to develop more in-depth brain-sensing holographic research and development.

Recently, Professor Charles Xavier, who is popular in the public opinion of new urban planning and construction, is their external consultant.

Coupled with some news from the presidential election, no matter how stupid people are, they know where the wind is heading in the United States today.

In the survey among young people aged 20 to 30, the number of people who know Rhea Nolen far exceeds the number of candidates who remember the election, and even Britney Spears has to be ranked behind Rhea.

Pop singers who are popular all over the world rarely lose to movie stars in recognition, but Rhea Noren has completely become a phenomenon-level existence, spanning several latitudes, and has long surpassed entertainment.

As long as you live in the real world, you can't avoid her at all.

No wonder some people in the industry questioned: "Her mind is no longer here."

That's part of the reason "Peggy Carter" faces some concerns.This can be regarded as the first movie in which Rhea Noren really provoked the heroine.

The original works of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" have a very wide audience, which is not comparable to "Peggy Carter".

Most Americans know more about "Captain America" ​​in the same era.

The internal controversy at Fox is that "The Lord of the Rings" reintegrated the history in the book and used semi-holographic special effects to show the audience the fantasy Middle-earth, while "Harry Potter" restored the plot and precisely designed every detail. Pull the audience into the magical world——

Both films have identified their own strengths and strengths, and Rhea has helped them maximize their value.

But they don't think Rhea has the greatest meaning of figuring out "Peggy Carter."

"Let's get straight to the point, Rhea is amazing in it! I admire her, admire her, praise her. But—" Someone finally spoke up against the pressure.

Julie Anchar, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and did not interrupt the other party.

"This is not a commercial blockbuster, Julie." The man continued, "So we can't reduce the film's original advantages..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Julie Anchar's eyes moved from each other to the faces of other executives, and everyone was more or less suspicious.

Another shrugged his shoulders and let out a long sigh: "It's all about 'Peggy Carter,' not 'Captain America,' the audience wants to see Captain America!"

"The movie is called Peggy Carter," Julie Anchar emphasized.

"Yeah, but what audiences want to see is Rhea and 'Captain America'—otherwise why would we waste so much time casting?

We had a hard time finding one that looked like it! "

"As a result, 'Captain America' didn't have so many roles at all, and the emotional drama also came to an abrupt end." Some executives spread their hands, "Even if we use the banner of the first female lead spy movie, we can't throw away all the attractive things. It's a gimmick."

"It's going to offend the audience. We also need the audience for the basics."

As one of the few senior women in the boardroom and the vice president above them, Julie Anchar now finally understands their concerns.

The female president sighed in a surprised tone: "So you think that Rhea's attractiveness is not as important as a historical hero."

"Of course not! How much the audience likes Rhea, you can see how much the movie box office ranks.

But we have to deal with market demand, and you know, Julie, the monetization value of this movie is secondary to Rhea—”

Someone soon explained: "Riya wants to use this work to win back the heart of the artist. She is tired of the commercial value touting, and she is eager to prove herself again. Besides, Rhea doesn't care whether it is more than one billion or less. Billion box office, but we have to care!"

Today, it is absolutely impossible for anyone in Hollywood to question Rhea Nolen's box office appeal.

Fox's hesitation is not out of dissatisfaction, but out of greed.

They want to get the benefits of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in this movie, and even "The Talented Ripley" can't satisfy their appetite.

This is a capital ambition fed by Rhea Noren himself.The way she makes money is really jaw-dropping.

The first time Rhea appeared on the screen, she used her talented newcomer's acting skills to make Hollywood's eyes shine. Now she can still open Hollywood's eyes. It is because of Rhea that they know that movies can make so much money!

The crazy box office of two consecutive IPs stunned them.

This made them have extremely high expectations for "Peggy Carter".But this movie is really different from those two big productions.

The way Fox thinks now is to make good use of the signboard of "Captain America" ​​on the basis of maintaining the female lead of Rhea.

There was a cough in the meeting room, and someone cleared his throat: "It's still too late to modify the editing."

"You try to say that to Steven Spielberg." Julie Anchar sneered slightly.

The director with obsessive-compulsive disorder confirmed this version after repeated polishing. He couldn't put it down because of the new technology, and he was also amazed by the efficiency of film production.

But if Steven Spielberg was asked to change it again, he would also turn his face.Or rather, he wouldn't agree at all.

What he cares about is the quality of the work, not Fox's opinion.If someone had to seek advice, Spielberg would only listen to Rhea.

This was originally led by Real Me Production Company.

"Julie, your relationship with Rhea... maybe you can give Rhea some advice—"

"I don't think Rhea needs advice." Julie Anchar interrupted directly this time. She frankly accepted that she was close to Rhea Nolen, which is indeed true.

Then she shifts into a tough stance, saying what she learned from Rhea: "It's you guys who need advice. Listen, James Bond doesn't fall in love with the 007 girl every time, it's just a stimulus in the drama. 'Captain America' didn't forget to save the world because of love—"

"'Peggy' won't either."

"If a man's movie can lower the weight of emotional drama, so can a woman's movie." Julie Anchar retorted: "Love, marriage, and family are not the only things worth discussing in women's movies."

She seemed to be touched, and commented flatly: "This is a fucking good movie! Rhea is so cool, and 'Peggy' is in it!"

"Don't be influenced by those factors. If you care so much about movie box office, just keep in mind one thing. We have Rhea Nolen! That's enough!"

A year ago, this sentence was not so convincing.Hollywood manufacturers and theaters only agree with Rhea's box office value.

But after entering 2000, they all began to worship the female star who controlled the entertainment industry.

She's well enough to defy the enduring theorems of filmmaking.

So today, Julie Anchar's words can calm people down, and the name "Rhea Noren" represents a great deterrent.

It’s just that Rhea’s career focus in other fields makes people feel uneasy. Those Hollywood people who followed Rhea Nolen on board can’t help worrying that they will be ignored and underestimated.

It's not that the media has implicitly pointed out Rhea's "deviation" in movie predictions.The original Hollywood girl did go to the world, and the US presidential candidates did not forget to promote her movies during the competition.

It's just that they can't be sure whether this is a good thing for her work.

Part of the skepticism here comes from the amazement and incomprehension of this unimaginable excellence.

Why is she able to achieve so much success?

Can she really continue to maintain this incredible chance of winning?

In people's ever-higher expectations, there is not only admiration for miraculous victory, but also subtle desire for Rhea Noren's defeat.

What prevents the media from bad-mouthing is Rhea's countless movie box office milestones and major movie awards.She doesn't need to use power to suppress people, and she can block many doubts.

This overwhelming praise and praise has been going on for a long time.

But as long as there is a slight sign of the perfect queen's decline, those speculations, accusations, and abuse will swarm in.

After all, this era of chaos and anything can happen makes everyone anxious.The competitive pressure of human beings is already great enough, and now there will be "new human beings"——

The public is actually waiting for a catharsis.

The "Peggy Carter" movie is one of the most high-profile focus of vision.

That made everyone, including Fox, anxious.

And, back to the origin of the controversy.

After all, this is Hollywood's first female-dominated action movie, and with the historical background, this is still a female-led movie.

Rhea even blatantly overshadowed the "Captain America" ​​in the movie——

Some time ago, the anti-sexual harassment feminist movement in Hollywood was raging, but are the audience really ready to accept a "heroine"?

In those unspoken, silent spirals, how would they view the "extraordinary" brought by Rhea?
