Chapter 825： Early investment gains

"You are also optimistic, then I can be completely relieved, how is the company going? Simply report to me, you also know that I have been exhausted recently and I have no time to read the briefing."

Donna Lande smiled helplessly. Obviously, she also knew the trouble her boss had recently gotten into. She sat back and put on her glasses again. After looking for a copy from the pile of materials on the table for a long time, she opened it and glanced to confirm that she wanted Only then did they pass the information they found to Yang Cheng,

"This is the report, film reviews, and box office trend record of "Mission Impossible 5". The detailed content is recorded on the top. I won't say much. Currently, "Mission Impossible 5" has just been released on the mainland of Z. It has not yet been released. North America is close to the next picture. The total box office in North America is approaching 200 million US dollars. Whether it can break through depends on luck. However, Paramount has made it clear that it will not invest any more promotional expenses. Therefore, the final North American box office should be It is fixed at US$190 million, which is also a good result."

Yang Cheng heard "Mission Impossible 5" and couldn't help having a headache. The woman he had had a good time with was also put in a cameo on the crew, and he didn't know how she performed.

After 　　, I was so busy and I completely forgot about it. It was a sin. I didn't expect that the movie has been released now, and Brother Tom is really desperate.

He shook his head, and remembered to call Zhang Jingchu for a while, so as not to be misunderstood. Of course, he would not think about sending people to jail, so he couldn’t do things that were bad. The price was negotiated slowly before reaching agreement. Normal people couldn’t do it until they were sent to jail. Besides, Zhang Jingchu was very sensible. He never asked him for anything, or even contacted him actively. , Really a nice girl.

Without mentioning this matter for the time being, Yang Cheng turned his attention to the information in his hand:

"Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation" was officially released in North America on July 31. Prior to that, the world premiere was held in Vienna, Austria, and the atmosphere was good.

After the premiere, many authoritative media gave praise after watching the movie. From the word-of-mouth point of view, "Mission Impossible 5" is the best work in the series. Of course, the pre-review samples are too small to make a final evaluation, but it can still be viewed Shadow reference.

Followed by a series of media reviews-Metacritic Film Critics Online, this film has a comprehensive score of 78 points, 3 out of 14 film reviews are moderate reviews, and the others are good reviews. The editor of the movie website Hitfix gave a 100 points. Full marks.

The freshness of "Mission Impossible 5" on Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 96%, and only one of the 26 film reviews gave negative reviews. This year's reputation is only matched by "Mad Max 4: Fury Road". contend.

The stunt scenes that can ignite adrenaline are undoubtedly the biggest attraction of "Mission Impossible 5". The many exciting action scenes in this film are still familiar to the audience in the "Mission Impossible" series.

Atang, who is over 50 years old, is still not old. The high-altitude action scene in which he personally plays in this film is a topic that many people talk about. The heroine Ilsa played by Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson is also impressive. Yiliang, her performance also won a lot of praise.

However, the plot of the film has received a lot of complaints. However, for mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, the most important thing is to watch it well. Many media who complain about this obviously also know this, and the scores are still good.

"Entertainment Weekly"

"Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation" may not be the best one in the "Mission Impossible" series, and may not be the most exciting or coherent one, but Hollywood should shoot more like "Mystery Nation" The movie: from start to finish is exciting, a very smart commercial entertainment film.

"Variety"-an excellent sequel movie like "Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation" is really rare. Not only will it not let the fans feel boring, but this series will continue for 19 years and still be able to be blue in quality. It is very surprising.

IndieWIRE-Although the "Mission Impossible" series has no new ideas, in terms of the quality of the film, I don't think the series will end immediately.

The recipe of "Hollywood Reporter"-"Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation" is familiar to everyone and has withstood the test of time, but this cocktail is much better than other wines, thanks to the director Christopher McCauley was out.

TimeOut——Tom Cruise used a series of wonderful action scenes to connect this interesting but empty commercial blockbuster.

TotalFilm-"Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation" does not lack high-tech equipment, but it is a pleasing old-school action film.

The-Paramount released several posters not long ago to commemorate some classic stunt shots in the "Mission Impossible" series.

In the first work of the series directed by Brian De Palma, the shocking robbery carried out at the CIA headquarters was naturally the first to mention; when it comes to "Mission Impossible 4", naturally many people will first think of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. A thrilling action scene; as for "Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation", which is currently being screened, the poster shows the scene of picking up a plane from high altitude, performed by Tomoko himself.

Many fans of this scene have already experienced a small part of the trailer. Paramount regards this stunt scene as a new classic, perhaps because this scene can be the best footnote in the "Mission Impossible" series: A film full of various pleasing special effects scenes, and undoubtedly very pleasing to the audience.

Regardless of this point, whether the plot, the role, or the motivation for the development of the plot, these are just clouds. In every film in the "Mission Impossible" series, these elements are easily forgotten.

The plot of "Mystery Country" is guided and linked by wonderful stunt scenes. For example, the protagonist Ethan Hunt jumped on the plane and held the fuselage on the side of the plane; the intricate assassination in the opera house; very Complex and detailed underwater scenes; breathless motorcycle chase scenes, etc.

These scenes are like the pillars of the tent, connecting all the plots and action scenes in series.

The strange thing is that this one is very successful. Of course, the frame of the whole film is so transparent that it is quite depressing.

Putting aside the story of the pain, there are many well-crafted, brilliant and thorough action scenes in this film.

This is largely due to the photographer Robert Aswitt and director/screenwriter Christopher McCauley. According to McCauley’s own statement, he sat in the "director’s prison" for more than a decade until three years ago. Directing "The Detective Jack" only reappeared.

The famous "Sofa Door" incident in 2006 caused Tom Cruise’s public image to plummet. The film had a plan to let Jeremy Renner succeed Cruise as the starring actor in the "Mission Impossible" series. The arrangement is ridiculous.

In "Mystery Country", Reina is portrayed as a well-dressed and bureaucratic character who serves as a communication bridge between the Hunter team and the CIA director. Obviously, such a character cannot become the core of the team in the future.

The most absurd thing about the whole film is that the protagonist Ethan Hunt is portrayed as a telepathic hero.

He has been described as an irresponsible gambler many times in the movie. This is how he is called not only by his friends, but also by his enemies and almost everyone related to him.

Hunter himself showed a "special function", he can always be one step ahead of others.

In fact, what is more stupid is the ending of the film. Hunter is forced to face a Syndicate villain. The latter seems to have a stronger ability to predict, which also drives Hunter into a seemingly insoluble dilemma. Te Chu is unbelievably defeated by the protagonist's halo.

But none of the above can conceal that "Mission Impossible 5" is an excellent popcorn movie, that's enough!

After watching the film reviews, Yang Cheng nodded in satisfaction. At least his slightly naive investment was considered a success. After the industry reviews and excerpts from the online reviews, Yang Cheng was not interested in watching it, and turned to the last page. As Donna Lande said, the box office potential of the film in North America is basically drained. It is not that difficult to successfully break through 200 million US dollars. For this reason, you must pay a large amount of publicity expenses. Speaking of Paramount, New Age Pictures is not willing.

In addition, the "Mission Impossible" series has always performed well in overseas markets around the world, even far exceeding the North American market. After all, Tom's reputation in North America has become a rotten egg, but he still maintains a modest gentleman overseas. , Desperately, Saburo’s high-quality image, therefore, when Yang Cheng saw the overseas box office exceeding 300 million US dollars, there was no expression of surprise on his face.

There is still some time before the global release of the film. It is not a problem to strive to reach 400 million US dollars. In addition, the Z country market should also be able to win 100 million US dollars in the box office ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It is estimated that after the full release, the total box office It should reach 700 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the investment of more than 20 million U.S. dollars at the time, Yang Cheng made a lot of money.

According to the agreed share ratio at the time, he will get 15% of the global box office. Of course, it does not mean that 15% of the 700 million US dollars is directly allocated to his own account. It is too bullshit.

After going through a series of necessary expenses such as distribution fees, taxes and fees, a 15% ratio is divided. When there is a little benefit, other films need to deduct the production cost before dividing the accounts between the producers and investors, and according to Yang Cheng asked him to set aside 15% in advance, and then deduct the production costs for the rest, and other investors would split the accounts in proportion.

This type of accounting is very common in Hollywood, especially those films that bring in Wall Street capitalists. This mode is often used. After all, no one knows how the box office will perform before the film is released, and Wall Street does not like the long flow of peripheral income and does not want to waste energy. To supervise, or to gamble directly at the box office.

A good performance like "Mission Impossible 5" can naturally make a lot of money, but once it hits the street, it will not make money at the box office. You can only start from the peripherals in the later period, and Yang Cheng chooses to give up the peripheral income. , He can only bet on the box office. Fortunately, he has the strongest cheating device in history. He won this riskless dubo!

As for Paramount and Brother Atang, neither of them will make less money. The surrounding areas are the big ones!
