Chapter 950： little devil

Latest website: Many people invest in Hollywood's first work, and often have to pay tuition. "The Heroes of Air Combat" is undoubtedly the first high tuition paid by David Ellison in Hollywood.

According to the previous trajectory, David Ellison has to pay such tuition fees many times.

Fortunately or unfortunately, David Ellison met Ronan, integrated into Hollywood at a faster speed, and hoped to fight for the control of a truly top big company.

Then there is Larry Ellison's support for David Ellison is really very strong.

It is said that he invested a lot of money in David Ellison's foundation.

In this way, people who are born at the starting point of success can only be envious of others.

The next stage of the key film project of Maple Leaf Pictures is "First Blood 4". Stallone has finished filming this film, and it may be released in the second half of the year or early next year.

David Ellison and Ryan Kavanno would like to have more cooperation with Relativity Entertainment on specific film projects, but Ronan will not let go, unless he can find something similar to "First Blood". 4 "This kind of project.

Besides, Maple Leaf Pictures now has Stallone as a long-term partner.

Stallone is a very thoughtful director. He always wants to reshape the brilliance of Hollywood classical action movies. He is also lobbying everywhere. The cooperation with Maple Leaf Pictures is also a strong alliance.

Moreover, Stallone has enough capital, even if it fails, there are still three thousand dollars in the family.

Someone once said that the biggest difficulty in life is to make choices. What should we do if the opportunity to choose one of three is presented?

Real men walk the world with swords and never make choices.

The next week after the release of "Air Combat Heroes", another masterpiece of Relativity Entertainment "Fast and Furious 3" premiered in North America.

This sequel completely abandons Don’s design, and uses Paul Walker’s actor to introduce one of the new dual actor Dawn Johnson, so as to build a racing family with “lumbering” as the core concept around these two roles. .

"Fast and Furious 2" completely abandoned Dominic Torreto, and "Fast and Furious 3" didn't even mention it.

At the premiere, all members of the racing family also appeared one after another. The multi-ethnic characteristics of the main actors group also helped attract a wider target audience group.

The whole film implements the ideas of Ronan and Jessica Felton, closely centering on action scenes and drag racing scenes, with unprecedented explosive power and sparing effort to vent.

Coupled with the proactive publicity and distribution of the Embassy Pictures, the film burst out with a lot of vitality since its release.

On the first weekend of its release in North America, "Fast and Furious 3" scored $68.75 million in one fell swoop, creating the best box office since the series.

In just ten days, the North American box office of the film exceeded $120 million.

This series of smooth revitalization, "Fast and Furious 4" has also been put on the agenda.

And different from the previous ones, starting from the fourth one, Shahai Entertainment will increase its investment and make the "Fast and Furious" series a quasi-first-line commercial production.

Later, new characters will be introduced successively in order to increase the appeal of the film in overseas regions.

Ronan is very clear that overseas is an important market for the "Fast and Furious" series. In the future, overseas income will inevitably exceed that of North America. It is necessary to increase the appeal of the film overseas.

For example, when the film market on the other side of the Pacific can develop further, the racing family will inevitably introduce a Chinese character.

The film market on the other side of the Pacific has not yet exploded. It has only just started in recent years. The income of Hollywood movies there is very limited, even the bar market next door can't compare.

This point cannot be resolved if the two sides of the Pacific do not negotiate a new WTO agreement.

After all, the box office share of the movie market is directly related to the WTO agreement on both sides and cannot be determined by a single person or a company.

Hollywood has the same interests in this regard. Hollywood's medium and large companies, including Relativity Entertainment and the Big Six, have been lobbying the Washington authorities to further open the film market on the other side of the Pacific.

Of course, even if an agreement can be reached, Hollywood movies will be subject to certain restrictions there.

It is not only this market that restricts Hollywood movies.

In November 1994, the Hollywood film "Death of the Dead" became the first part of the account film introduced by the East, and created a box office miracle of 25 million that year. This made the imported Hollywood blockbusters become famous in the first battle, and became popular in the film market on the opposite side of the Pacific. The "Elixir" of the movie market in a downturn.

After that, a series of films such as "True Lies", "The Lion King", "Forrest Gump" and "Life and Death" all have very good box office performances in China.

Perhaps many of the memories of the post-80s still have fond memories of sneaking into the theater to watch Leonardo paint Kate Winslet.

This period appeared directly in the theater in that era, and it is incredible to think about it.

Probably it has a lot to do with a high-level naming and praise of the film.

In 2001, the two sides formally signed the WTO Bilateral Agreement, which has clear regulations on the film industry, allowing the import of 20 commercial blockbusters in the form of split accounts each year, and the split account ratio was 13%.

The agreement is valid for 10 years.

It is not easy to modify this agreement in advance, and it is even more difficult to get 25% of the box office share.

Hollywood promotes not only these, but also two extremely important points: one is to introduce international audit institutions to monitor the box office of the oriental film market; the other is to increase the number of imported films.

There was a time when the Oriental film industry was facing the upcoming increase in overseas film quota after 2012, and the film industry in the East was full of grief.

But the facts have proved that Eastern films do not need to belittle themselves when facing Hollywood. Only in competition can they become bigger and stronger, and the same is true for movies.

Blindly seeking protection will only backfire.

Someone once said: "The opening of the Oriental film market to Hollywood will destroy those filmmakers who have achieved certain success by luck, by the so-called star lineup, by relying on their laurels, and relying on black hands to manipulate the market, and their contribution to improving the overall production of Oriental films It can only be a blessing for producers who are qualified and in line with the rules of the film."

It is no exaggeration to say that the audience is also one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Which audience does not like to see colorful movie genres on the big screen?

If the market is closed and there is stagnant water inside, no one can imagine what movies can only be seen in the theater.

Of course, certain restrictions are also necessary.

Hollywood's huge industrialization system destroyed the film industry in Hong Kong City. The latter could not even resist and was easily defeated.

The nascent Eastern film industry needs time and space to grow.

In August, only one film under Relativity Entertainment's "Fast and Furious 3" was released, and its box office success has brought endless possibilities for subsequent series.

By the end of the month, the North American box office of "Fast and Furious 3" was close to 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 350 million U.S. dollars. It is no longer difficult to recover the investment through the box office.

In addition, "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" has been officially offloaded from North America after exhausting all the theater market enthusiasm.

This uniquely styled comic-based film finally stopped at the North American box office at a figure of $256.89 million.

At present, the global box office of the film has crossed the $500 million mark. Although the subsequent growth has been slow, it will continue to appear in the film market of more than ten countries and regions.

"Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is a huge hit, and Relativity Entertainment is naturally the biggest winner.

Director Zach Schneider also benefited a lot.

Because of the film’s box office, Warner Bros’ trust in Zach Schneider was doubled enough to describe it, not only giving him the final editing rights of "Watchmen", but also allowing him to participate in the process of designing the Justice League movie universe project. And film style.

It is said that Warner Bros. and DC Comics, on the advice of Zach Schneider, have agreed to use an image style similar to "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" that is as thick as an oil painting.

This is not only brought by "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", but also related to the "Batman" series that Ronan and Warner Bros. collaborated with.

Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" has completed the preliminary editing, and its darkened image style has been praised by almost all high-level characters in Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

All of these have driven the Justice League movie universe, rushing towards the once dark style without regrets.

If nothing else, it won’t take long for "Martha" to shake the North American film market again.

At the end of August, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" officially confirmed the director.

The production budget for a single episode is 5 million US dollars, and the total budget for the first season is 60 million US dollars. This huge investment determines that Ronan is unlikely to start a newcomer.

After CAA's recommendation, Ronan chose David Nutt as the director after careful consideration.

This seems to have a low reputation, but he is famous in the TV drama production industry. He has directed many successful American dramas such as "Brothers" and "X Files".

As for the actors, the first thing to be determined is Peter Dinglaki, and Shahai Entertainment directly signed a long-term contract with him including movies and TV shows.

Hollywood has never lacked actors, but the type like Peter Dinklage is definitely a rare resource.

A dwarf with outstanding acting skills, even in Hollywood, is not so easy to find.

Peter Dinklage will play the little demon Tyrion Lannister in the series.

This dwarf who shot his father on the toilet bowl was once one of the most brilliant characters in the early stage of the plot.

Ronan was extremely impressed by a line of the little devil once.

"Duke Tywin Lannister did not pull out the gold until his death."

Sean Bing, who has played Borromir, plays Ed Stark, the actor who is always mercilessly killed by various means in the movie, will be chopped off again.

Ed Stark is undoubtedly a rare good guy in the series, and he can be called a true knight. Unfortunately, his political wisdom is almost zero. The single-handed operation of King's Landing not only killed himself, but also ruined the wolf family.
