The weekend before Thanksgiving, the fourth episode of the Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" held a huge world premiere, and the premiere location is no longer the location of the story in the United Kingdom, replaced by Disney in California. Adventure park, because during Thanksgiving, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter area in the park will officially open to the United States.
The film’s premiere location was placed inside the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was screened in the open air. In order to promote the Harry Potter derivatives, Disney has gone to great lengths.
This series is as strong as ever. It easily won the North American box office of 120 million US dollars in the first three days. Not to mention the already popular English market, even the Chinese region on the other side of the Pacific, because some members of Harry Potter participated. To promote the relationship between the premiere, the first Wednesday also received more than 39 million RMB.
For an imported sub-ledger film, it is considered to be a very good box office in this era, and the Harry Potter series is becoming more and more influential in China. Even if pirated copies are flying all over the floor, derivatives can still be used for Switzerland. Enhe Disney brings certain benefits.
In particular, Shanghai’s Disneyland is about to officially start construction, which also has a Harry Potter area. The greater the influence of movies and books, the greater the help to the park in the future.
In just ten days, the North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" reached 225 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was close to 500 million U.S. dollars.
During Thanksgiving, Time Warner and The Walt Disney Group also remitted a huge sum of up to 220 million U.S. dollars to Ryan's account.
This is Ryan's share of the Harry Potter series derivatives last year. Most of the copyrights of this series are in his hands. According to the agreements signed with Disney and Time Warner, he himself enjoys CDs, dolls, images, etc. Most derivatives share one-third of the profit.
Once the Harry Potter industry chain is formed, it will become a huge money-sucking machine. In the past few years since the movie was released, not counting the share from the box office, the derivative series alone can bring him 200 million US dollars every year. About income.
Even if there is no other industry, this long-term meal ticket is enough for him to live his life at ease.
Of course, the money only went around in Ryan's hands, and most of it was transferred to Boeing's account. The coming-of-age gift he customized for his dear sister has been completed.
Maybe it was just a joke at the beginning, or maybe even Taylor himself forgot, but Ryan will not forget his promise.
After entering December, "127 Hours", which was released for four weeks, almost reached the end. After the box office barely exceeded 35 million US dollars, the screening theaters gradually fell to double digits, and the North American box office was increasing at a rate of several thousand dollars a day. The final box office will not increase much.
In recent years, especially after the speed and freedom of information exchange have become higher and higher, a very common phenomenon has appeared all over the world. Movies praised by film critics and other professionals-such as "127 Hours "——The vast majority of the box office is terrible, and the worthless movies criticized by them are warmly welcomed by ordinary audiences, even without the recognition of important awards such as Oscars, they can easily produce world-class influence.
In the words of film critics, it is that 90% of the audiences in the world are depraved, and only a small group of them are waiting for a small group of people to maintain a normal level of appreciation.
Is this really the case?
Ryan has long stopped considering this issue. In movies, he will always be on the side of most people.
Although "127 Hours" still has an overseas box office, such a movie does not have much commercial operation value. What's more, the box office share that can be recovered overseas is at most only about a quarter of the overall overseas box office, so in addition to the English-speaking area and Outside Western Europe, in most overseas markets, Disney has adopted the marketing method of selling out the screening rights.
There is no doubt that the combination of Ryan and Natalie is the best sign, but the type of movie limits the copyright price. In South America, the Far East, Eastern Europe, Russia and the Arab world, Disney has recovered after nearly a month of negotiations. The US$20 million projection copyright revenue, plus the box office share in North America and English-speaking areas and the advertising sponsorship received in the early stage, is not much worse even if the cost cannot be recovered.
What's more, Ryan's team is actively working on the awards season. Even if they can only get a few nominations, they can also increase their revenue from DVDs, video tapes, and TV broadcasts.
Compared to Disney, Alan Ruston himself seems to have a greater harvest. He has become a well-known hero and outdoor sports expert in the United States. Two weeks after the film was released, he even signed a contract with Nike worth 500. Ten thousand dollars in sponsorship agreement.
After "Argo" and "127 Hours", they often appear in front of Ryan. In addition to the screenwriters and new directors who are looking for opportunities, there are also some publishers' personal autobiographical agents. They frequently recommend some to Ryan. Personal biography, I hope to get his favor.
Not all autobiography have the value of being filmed, not to mention that most autobiographical films are niche films.
Many of them wanted to get Ryan's autobiographical authorization, but he refused all of them.
What's a joke, he is neither short of money nor fame, he is not yet 26 years old, and he is now an autobiography?
As the award season approached, Ryan received invitations to many parties. At this time of the year, it is always the most active stage for many Hollywood celebrities. Charity parties, political fundraising parties, etc. emerge in endlessly, of course, in the greater Los Angeles area closest to the college. , The most is the canvassing party for various awards, especially Oscars.
Now Ryan’s vote is not only representative of himself, but even a weather vane. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most influential judges in the college.
Therefore, while he was in public relations, he naturally became the object of public relations for many crews.
Unfortunately, those who invited him to the canvassing party did not know that Ryan's habit is to vote with his feet on awards that have nothing to do with him or Disney.
Because of a heavyweight award that can double or even multiply the worth of many actors, Los Angeles can now be described as a flurry of demons, walking on the road of Beverly Hills or Hollywood area, if you encounter people dressed in suits and ties, if If you inquire, more than 80% may be a broker of a brokerage company or a salesperson of a public relations company.
These people, including those on Ryan's team, have actually been on the psychological bottom line of the academy under the banner of free competition.
As for the psychological bottom line of the college? Most people and even Ryan himself can't tell, after all, the more aggressive the money offensive has been in recent years, the effect has become more and more obvious.
In his view, as long as the college does not inform the media, the next year will not be as disgusting as the producer and investor Megan Larison of "The Hurt Locker" in the previous life, it means that the bottom line of the college has not been touched.
Besides, as long as it is not too much, even if the academy wants to find a model to show its justice, it will never find him now.
Think about the past lives, none of the people who were thrown in front of the media by the academy are figures with world-class reputation.
In the words of the other side of the Pacific, that is to kill the chicken to show to the monkey, but the size of this chicken is really not too big. As long as the college shows this meaning, the public relations staff who jump up and down will definitely converge a lot.
Regarding "Brokeback Mountain", Ryan didn't intervene at all, and completely threw it to Flower Pictures. With Drew's ability and connections, and Li Ang had similar public relations experience, and the college wanted to appease the continuous rise after the film was released. The **** community is bound to consider giving a heavyweight award.
Ryan’s team is dedicated to public relations for the nominations of "127 Hours" and Natalie. Not only did the 50,000 hardcover DVDs distributed to nearly 6,000 judges, even the ordinary staff who participated in the Oscars and the academy did not let it go. In addition, The commemorative tableware ordered from the Royal Appliance Factory was also shipped to Los Angeles and sent out as early as the DVD.
In addition, champagne, red wine and Disney's limited edition dolls are also ready.
These gifts don't look expensive, but they are exquisite and beautiful, as well as practical value. They can be said to be a weapon that touches people's hearts.
If two to three years pass, Ryan will take even bigger moves. After all, it is not the time when Oscars are completely reduced to a game of money and public relations, and some behaviors cannot be too aggressive.
While working for the film’s public relations, Ryan did not forget Taylor, because the film was released in December last year. Taylor can only participate in this Grammy Awards. Regardless of how many phonographs the final public relations can bring to the girl, she does it. The opening performer is already one of the winners of this Grammy.
The affairs of Los Angeles are one after another. Although most of Ryan only needs to know, he feels a little tired, especially some high-end parties that must be attended. Even though he thinks this is normal social interaction, he has attended too much. After that, I can't help but get bored.
Of course Ryan knows very well that if you are an ordinary person, you can enjoy a peaceful life at any time. After standing at a certain height, the peaceful life will be gone.
Fortunately, he can briefly leave the city of angels dancing with demons and go to a quieter place temporarily.
With the passage of time, Nicole's pregnancy became more and more obvious, and the lower abdomen gradually showed signs of bulge. She decided to go to a quieter place to rest. The beautiful scenery and far away from the hustle and bustle of Lanai is undoubtedly the best choice.
Ryan accompanied her on the plane to Lanai. In addition to sending Nicole there, he also wanted to see the progress of "Jurassic Park 3" being filmed there. Spielberg repeatedly vowed to him. , The filming and special effects production are going on at the same time, and it will definitely catch up with the July schedule.
The old man is the most famous fast shooter in Hollywood, and Ryan also believes he can do this.
Before boarding the plane, Ryan received the revised "Transformers" script specially sent by Michael Bay. r1152
