Chapter 553： There is always change

Hollywood is ushering in a rush of epic blockbusters. The two big projects Time Warner has identified are undoubtedly the best of them. As for how much that crazy investment can be recovered in this world, it is hard to say.

The most likely thing is that "Alexander the Great" is terrible and "Troy" is facing a loss as in the previous life.

Ryan remembers clearly that the latter’s production cost alone was as high as 175 million US dollars in the previous life, and the total investment in the film can even exceed that of "Titanic" if the announcement cost is counted. Such a large expenditure can only be recovered. A global box office of more than 400 million U.S. dollars.

Only by relying on subsequent TV copyright fees and long sales of discs, the money can be made back slowly.

In addition to Disney, Warner Bros. is the most recent film producer.

There are no secrets in this circle. Ryan heard that they not only have these two masterpieces, but they are also preparing to recreate the comic hero in view of the success of the Marvel superhero.

With the latest news, Warner Bros. is preparing to once again put Princess Diana on the big screen. This new Wonder Woman movie is said to have been preparing the script.

In addition, it is Superman, and they have also prepared a lot of money to rebuild the "Superman" series.

As the second of the Big Three in comics, whether it is Princess Diana or Clark Kent, they have a wide range of supporters, even more popular than superheroes of surprise, but their movies are not easy to shoot.

The simplest point is that surprising heroes have obvious flaws, they look closer to ordinary people, and appear on the big screen with a stronger sense of substitution, while Superman is a typical tall man...

As for Princess Diana, if she were the only protagonist of the movie, she would beat up a bunch of men. How would male chauvinists react?

This society is essentially a patriarchal society.

And the last man of the Big Three, Master Bruce Wayne, since the fiasco of "Batman and Robin", Warner has postponed the series indefinitely. Can it reappear in the future? It's really hard to tell in this world.

Those from China Film Corporation, including China Film Group. Received a fairly warm welcome in Hollywood, and several major companies jointly organized a cocktail party. Entertain them.

People in Hollywood are not fools, and naturally they don't mention sensitive topics in the past. The huge potential of the Chinese market and the soaring box office numbers in recent years have made them salivate. As the other party joins, the market will inevitably open up to a certain extent, and the time for Hollywood to share the feast is not far away.

As long as it is profitable, Hollywood doesn't care whether the person standing opposite is black or Asian.

As a pioneer in Hollywood, Ryan has already benefited from the other side. Although not much, it is a good start.

Compared to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" which was released in China today. Compared with the previous life, due to effective publicity and other factors, the box office has increased significantly, with the total box office amount approaching 80 million yuan. Although according to the 20% sharing agreement, only millions of dollars can be obtained, it is a sum of money that does not need to pay taxes and deduct the cost of publicity.

Moreover, with the passage of time, the profits that can be made from movies shown there have increased significantly.

Party, work, and appropriate leisure are the themes of Ryan's life during this time. Of course, dating with Nicole and others is indispensable. Although everyone is concentrated in Los Angeles, they silently do not break this tacit understanding.

The office in the Disney headquarters building has also become a long-stay status for Ryan. In addition to understanding and mastering the operation of Disney, he is also dealing with other industry matters here, because George is changing roles and some personal affairs. Also turned to this side.

In late July, Garcia Rodríguez went to the San Fernando Valley and brought two video discs that were about to be officially released and sent them to George.

Ryan just looked at the cover and threw it aside. He had seen too much of this kind of stuff in his previous life. Even if one of the leading actors was famous a few years ago, he didn't have any interest.

The DVD comes from a well-known adult film company in the San Fernando Valley. Through the Cayman Islands Foundation, Scott is the de facto owner of this company.

Last year, this company, abbreviated as ‘t.k’, bought the copyright of Gladiator from Jenkins Pictures and shot another version, and the starring actor is Tom Cruise...

The former Hollywood superstar is now indescribable with downfall. After mixing in a B-rated film, it is difficult to even pay the interest on huge debts for the money he earned. However, his past life experience has made him a big spender. Habits, especially when surrounded by people around him, are also infected with cocaine. In addition, he has a common problem with most Hollywood stars such as alcoholism, and his financial situation has worsened.

Although the box office of the two b-level films is not bad and has received some share, the various taxes are on the head and it is really unsustainable.

For the mountain of debt, for more material enjoyment, for the money to exchange for cocaine, this man finally turned into the San Fernando Valley under the constant persuasion and temptation of the broker, and not only starred in the so-called historical investment The largest adult version of "Gladiator" was also driven by heavy money to shoot another blockbuster film.

Compared to this version of "Gladiator", another adult blockbuster has attracted widespread attention since it was stabbed by the media.

Because there are only two actors in the film, all former superstars, but one from Hollywood and the other from professional boxing.

Hmm... the person who played the opposite role with Tom Cruise also faced huge debts. The name was Michael Tyson. The two great plays performed by these two are definitely popular among lovers of heavy tastes.

This kind of thing didn't attract Ryan too much interest, but when I went to Nicole's side, he mentioned it to her and threw it behind his head.

In fact, Nicole was right. He was never a big belly when dealing with enemies.

There is also Michael Eisner. After losing all his positions, he sold part of Disney shares in order to repay a huge sum of up to 100 million US dollars in joint compensation. After these shares were removed, they eventually fell into the hands of Ryan and Nicole. in.

The news was naturally spread by those with a heart. It is said that the former Disney tyrant who had a bad temper had to be admitted to a nursing home temporarily because of heart and blood pressure problems.

"When you have the upper hand, never give your enemy a chance to breathe and turn over." This is what Ryan said to Tyler.

Miss Swift in this life is destined to be different from her previous life. Her family, identity and status, as well as the imprints of Ryan and Nicole that cannot be erased from her body, are destined to face more complicated situations in the future.

The hot summer vacation continues. The "Spider-Man" screening theaters have shrunk to less than 300. The North American weekly box office has not exceeded 1.5 million U.S. dollars for two consecutive weeks. After the North American box office reached 411 million U.S. dollars, the market potential Obviously exhausted.

This superhero movie is also selling well overseas. In all regions where it is shown, it is basically the local weekly box office champion, except for the Japanese region, where superhero movies have never been bought.

According to the market's response and dynamics, several professional organizations predict that the global box office of "Spider-Man" should be between 800 million and 900 million US dollars.

A sequel to such a big-selling movie will definitely be on the agenda. Surprise is currently actively planning to shoot the second one.

"The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", which was released for three weeks, also exceeded $200 million in the North American box office. It is not a problem to catch up with the first film, but it is difficult to surpass "Spider-Man."

A big-selling movie can be converted into more realistic income at Disney. Although Disney’s financial statements for the first half of the year have not been released, the forecast from Wall Street shows that Disney’s net income in the past six months will definitely exceed the entire year of last year. The total profit.

After Ryan took over, Disney’s stock has ushered in a period of rising. Although the magnitude is not large, the overall upward trend is unusually obvious. Now the market value of the entire group company has exceeded 67 billion US dollars, which is definitely a behemoth in the media industry.

In addition to these major productions, Touchstone Pictures has also released several small-cost series for Jenkins Pictures in the past six months, such as "Scream 4", which replaced the heroine. After Charlize's withdrawal, the appeal of the film Significant decline, the box office only recovered a total of 35 million US dollars in costs, and profit can only rely on the surrounding area.

There is also "Resident Evil", this sci-fi horror film produced by Jenkins Pictures, also released by Touchstone Pictures. When it was released in mid-May, despite the pressure of "Spider-Man", it only got more than 2,400 theater chains. In the first week, it won more than 31 million US dollars in the box office.

Although the movie was only released for eight weeks , it had to be downgraded because of the $1,000 drop in the performance of the single hall, but it also took nearly $65 million in North America, and this movie is another big box office. From Japan, because the game also appeared and became popular, the overseas box office in this place alone was as high as $19.7 million.

Because of his busy work at the time, Ryan did not go to the theater. Later, he watched the current "Resident Evil" in his private theater and saw the long-lost Alice.

Milla Jovovich is destined to rely on this series for a lifetime.

It’s strange to say that when filming the action scene, Milla Jovovich accidentally injured Paul Anderson sitting in the director’s chair, and then the ex-wife of Luc Besson quickly got into trouble with the other party. together.

Compared with the box office, "Resident Evil", like all horror films, has a better response in the disc and video tape market. The previous series can be filmed one by one, and the income from the peripheral copyright has played a huge role. .

With the advent of August, another major production of surprise "X-Men 2" is getting closer and closer to the release date, and the publicity offensive is also fully launched. With this craze, "Captain America" ​​has also released several characters. Concept poster. ()
