Chapter 452 Midsummer is coming
Musician?
Mike caught a keyword and looked at Dustin with surprise -
It was just a talk show and two original songs, but Anson actually received such evaluation from Dustin.
Sure enough!
Dustin is a lunatic. He is devoted to music and is completely deaf to music. The whole world revolves around music.
Dustin noticed Mike's smile, "What?"
Mike didn't hide it, "Musician?"
I thought Dustin would be embarrassed. , however, did not.
Dustin stared back confidently, "Yes, you heard me right. Although I don't know what kind of actor he is, I am very sure that he is an excellent musician. .”
"Arrangement of cello and bass? Progressive arrangement of instruments? Interpreting the emotion of the melody with the texture of cello?"
"These are talents."
"Before this, I also I can’t imagine the combination of cello and orchestra, but from now on, I am willing to look forward to different answers from Anson.”
Determined and persistent.
Mike could detect that there was a twinkle in Dustin's eyes, "So, what you're saying is, no matter what the cost, we should sign them?"
"Yes."
"Even 20% of royalties?"
"Yes."
"Even just one album?"
" Yes.”
"Dustin, you really don't think about business at all."
"It's fine if you guys think about it, do you still need me to worry about it?"
Mike was stunned, but he couldn't refute.
Dustin had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. He changed the subject and then brought it back, "We really shouldn't miss it. If we miss it, we will regret it, 100%."
Then, Dastin Sting added, "We shouldn't let Universal take them away."
Mike laughed dumbly, "Who said you don't understand the business standpoint?"
Warner Records is trying to reverse the pattern of the music market. There is no doubt that Universal Music is the biggest opponent. If Universal Music is also fighting for Anson and the others, , then from a strategic point of view, Warner Records does need to be more proactive -
Every inch of land must be fought for.
This time, Dustin showed a little embarrassment, because he was not sure whether this sentence would work, but he still refused to admit defeat, "What I said is the truth."
Mike Qing Nodding lightly, "You are right."
Dustin, "What?"
Mike repeated it again, "You're right, I also think we shouldn't miss them."
Happiness, suddenly struck, Das Ting couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a moment.
Mike watched Anson's retreating back. He had a bold idea. Maybe it was because of Anson's status as an actor that they should sign this contract——
No Because of the possibility of EGOT, it’s not because of the musician Dustin mentioned, but because of Anson’s personal charm.
actor. Musician.
With different identities and different colors, Anson does show different possibilities. If you think back carefully, the eloquence on the "Tonight Show" and the fashion at Paris Fashion Week, even though Anson is not yet 2 years old. Ten years old, but he has already shown his diversity and potential to the public bit by bit. So, does this mean there is more to Anson waiting to be discovered?
Perhaps, the name "Anson Wood" has more possibilities, not just a simple actor or musician, but finally becoming a unique existence.
If this is really the case, then Warner Records’ planning may have to be completely overturned. With different expectations, the plan will naturally need to change.
The most important thing is that Warner Records can also distinguish itself from Universal Music and launch a comprehensive layout around Anson. Who knows, this may become a key to changing the situation of the war.
Of course, this is just an inspiration and an idea. It took root during the face-to-face conversation with Anson and is growing rapidly. We still need to hold meetings and discussions with the company; but even if there is only a prototype at the moment, Mike has already I couldn't help but be excited.
Mike believes that this time "Spider-Man" can be an important reference -
As an actor, what can Anson show? After all, "Friends" and "Princess Diaries" have previously The stage and the spotlight are not Anson's.
So.
Things gradually become interesting.
Here, Warner Records' attention is quietly focused on "Spider-Man", and eyes outside the film field are also falling on the summer release.
Over there, the bustling heat wave surrounding Anson all rushed to the summer season under the careful guidance of Sony Columbia.
Finally——
Summer is here.
This is the first summer season after the "September 11 Incident". Not only Hollywood, but also the entire North American market and all walks of life are paying close attention.
The sluggish economy, dull atmosphere, and depressing environment have been waiting hard for the day when the gloom will be lifted, but no one knows when it will come.
Before the summer season officially arrives, Hollywood has been testing, brewing, and laying the groundwork.
"Thriller Space", "Ice Age", "Blade" directed by David Fincher, starring Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart "Warrior 2", a series of medium-sized works with a certain appeal have been released one after another.
Finally, "The Scorpion King" serves as the final highlight of the summer pre-season and closes the spring season. This film is a spin-off of the highly successful box office series "The Mummy" with an investment of US$80 million. Led by Dwayne Johnson, it would not be out of place even if it is placed on the summer schedule.
One step after another, trying to awaken the vitality of the market.
However.
The situation is not optimistic.
In a series of works, the performance has been good and bad. "Ice Age" and "Thriller Space" have been a small hit. The production costs themselves are controlled within a reasonable range, which makes the revenue figures particularly bright. Eye.
The performance of other works was unsatisfactory. From word-of-mouth to box office and market feedback, everything was lower than expected. The always sluggish spring season seemed to be caught in the cold wave and continued to sway in the wind.
In particular, "Blade 2" and "The Scorpion King" have been highly anticipated, but their box office results did not ignite the market energy as expected -
It's not that they hit the streets.
"Blade 2" has a box office of 80 million US dollars in North America, and "The Scorpion King" has a box office of 60 million US dollars in two weeks of release. These results can only be regarded as good or not bad, coupled with overwhelming negative reviews and The lukewarm market feedback, with no sign of market recovery at all, made the entire movie uneasy and uneasy.
The scene in front of me is like the warm-up guest performance of a concert. The scene is still cold, so that the singers who are about to appear on the stage are also nervous. All kinds of signs are foreshadowing:
The show might be screwed up.
The rolling heat wave surrounding "The Tonight Show" and Anson in the past period is more like a small group of people in Hollywood amusing themselves, with no concern at all for ordinary people's lives; the haze still seems to hang over the sky, No vitality can be seen, and the sun cannot break through the layers of clouds and shine down.
Now, all hope falls on "Spider-Man".
A work adapted from a comic, a work rooted in the niche otaku culture, a thin and frail civilian superhero from a high school student, relying on such a work to change the downturn of the entire movie market, really depends on Spectrum?
However, it is too late to regret now. No matter whether you like it or not, and no matter what the outcome is, you have to shoot when the arrow is on the string. Even if the hope is slim, you can only bite the bullet and keep up——
Summer Vacation file, officially kicked off.
