"Hollywood Reporter" - "According to the latest movie box office data, "Back to the Future" has a box office of more than 170 million overseas, and the total box office reaches theaters to 381.11 million."
Feiniao Film and Television and Universal Pictures received 130 million and 150 million respectively. The one that received the most was Universal Pictures. In addition to the box office share, there were also theater share shares. The scattered ones were the director, screenwriter, starring and producers.
With the Hollywood Times' report, "Back to the Future"'s high box office was flooded with many parts of North America. When "Back to the Future" was offline from theaters, "Top Gun" was successfully completed.
After more than three months of shooting, "Top Gun" was completed quickly with the various methods provided by Leicester and the continuous shooting of the crew.
Leicester held a final banquet at the hotel in Century City, Los Angeles for the filming staff.
This finale banquet is different from previous years, with a much larger lineup, not just the crew, but also Robert Zemegis, who directed the high box office, and the newly joined Tom Cruise and others.
In addition to the main creators of the crew, Spielberg, who was filming "Purple", took the crew for two days off and also came to join in the fun. Even Paramount sent one of their senior executive Stephen Jott.
Before the finale banquet began, Leicester held a press conference and invited the Medium Times reporter to promote "Top Gun".
"Top Gun", which took two years before, although it was posted from time to time on Paramount, it did not play much role. It was not until Leicester accepted "Top Gun" that it attracted the attention of some reporters.
Leicester's "Twilight" series was launched by Random House, and won the New York Times' Best Novel of the Year Award, and "Ah Gan Zheng" has always dominated the New York Times' sales rankings and has not fallen.
Naturally, the reporter was curious about Leicester's debut movie "Top Gun".
Press conference!
The shiny lights flashed constantly, and the reporters took cameras to photograph Leicester
"Mr. Leicester, how could you accept the troublesome Top Gun? How do you think after receiving it?" The female reporter reached in front of Leicester with a microphone, staring at her, hoping that he would answer his question.
According to their internal investigation, "Top Gun" has been substituting people when preparing, especially when Tony Scott was invited, but they were replaced twice and were finally taken over by Leicester. This is a very magical thing.
Yes! Lester organized what he wanted to say and said, "I think this subject is very good, so I took over it. Moreover, everyone in the crew of "Top Gun" worked very hard and made a very spectacular film with me. If you see it, you will definitely be shocked by the crowd of fighters."
"Okay." The female reporter asked his question, and the reporter next to him quickly asked: "Mr. Leicester, why do you use new actors without popularity instead of looking for popular stars?"
"Damn bitch, snatch my words." After being snatched by someone, the female reporter cursed in her heart and could only stare at Leicester.
Tom Cruise, George Cruise and Meg Ryan, who were ignored by reporters, also looked at Leicester, and they also wanted to know this problem.
At the press conference of the final banquet, Lester wanted the three of them to accept interviews from reporters, but unfortunately the reporters just asked randomly and came to interview Lester if it was not painful or itchy.
Lester smiled, looked at the three of them with admiration, and said, "They may not have fame now, but it does not mean the future. Which one is stronger or weak depends on their performance."
When the three of them heard Lester admired them so much, they all had gratitude in their eyes and made a decision in their hearts.
Leicester once again accepted some questions from the reporters and said apologetically: "Everyone, the interview ends here, I hope you will not let our expectations down."
This look was profound, and the reporters understood God and knew the truth about being soft-mouthed, so they turned around and left the hotel.
Lester and Tom Cruise walked into the banquet and had already started to have fun inside.
"Mr. Spielberg, thank you for your support." Lester came to Spielberg, who was happy to chat with Paramount's senior executives, with a glass of red wine;
"How can I miss the finale of Leicester's little shopping mall!" Spielberg raised the red wine and drank it into his stomach in one sip.
"Mr. Leicester, it's not as famous as it is." Stephen Chotter said enthusiastically;
Looking at the enthusiastic middle-aged fat man in front of him, Lester knew that his enthusiasm was to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and greeted him with a look of expression: "Where is Mr. Stephen Jote who is amazing and has become a senior Paramount."
The two of them were polite, and Stephen Jot opened his mouth and saw Spielberg here, he still shut up.
Lester picked up the food on the table and ate it, chatting with Spielberg while eating.
Stephen Jott was a little anxious. He came with something this time. Seeing that the two were still chatting, he looked at Spielberg and said apologetically: "Mr. Spielberg, can I talk to Leicester alone?"
"Oh! OK." Spielberg raised his eyebrows and stood up and said, "You guys talk." He turned around and chatted with Robert Zemegis.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Jote." Lester looked at Stephen Jote, not knowing why he was trying to splurge Spielberg.
Stephen Jott rubbed his wrong hands and said enthusiastically: "I want to know when "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will start filming."
When Paramount learned that Leicester was going to cooperate with "Teenagement Turtles" to develop a live-action movie in exchange for "Top Gun", he sent someone to investigate "Teenagement Turtles" and found that he had a large number of comic fans in North America and other countries, which allowed them to see the commercial value of the movie adaptation and agreed to the Leicester conditions.
Stephen Jott came here this time to get the time when Leicester started filming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Lester was slightly stunned and said shirked: "The Mutant Ninja Turtles is still serialized and will not start filming for the time being. If you really need to know the specific time, it will not start filming in 1990."
Stephen Jote browed. It was a bit long and said incomprehensible: "Why can't the filming start until 1990, and it can be done in 1987 or 1988."
"No, no!" Lester shook his head and explained: "Minister Ninja Turtles must be able to attract fans for five years to form a good effect. In the past five years, "Minister Ninja Turtles" will continue to launch animations to attract audiences."
Stephen Jott's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "It's better to make the animation for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!"
"No." Lester rejected Stephen Jote.
He didn't want to hand over such hot things to Paramount.
"Since that's the case, we'll wait for your good news." Seeing Lester's rejection, Stephen Jote didn't care much. He just said that they valued more the movie and surrounding interests of "Teenagement of Tintographs".
Stephen Jote talked to Leicester about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and then left the hotel with what Leicester said before the final banquet ended.
Watching Stephen Jote walk away, Lester's mouth raised and his eyes were as smiling as a fox.
Chapter completed!
