Chapter 976： Skin tone advantage

Latest URL: In terms of live-action fairy tale movies, apart from "Alice in Wonderland" which is currently being filmed and produced, Ronan has only one project on the agenda for the time being, "Beauty and the Beast".

With the return of funds from Shahai Entertainment, the manpower will be eased, and more live-action fairy tale film projects will be established.

Such as "Sleeping Beauty", "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "The Lion King" and "Cinderella" and so on.

These are very valuable in adapting and shooting live-action movies.

The adaptation of the script is similar to that of "Beauty and the Beast". It doesn't matter what the original fairy tale looks like. The first thing to follow is the plot of the animated feature film.

Feelings are one of the biggest selling points of these live-action fairy tale movies.

In addition, things like "Fantasy Forest" also have operational value.

As for "Mulan", Ronan is relatively cautious.

This kind of caution does not come from the movie itself, but from outside the movie. After all, it is not easy for a movie to have a good box office performance in North America, but also to be widely accepted by the audience on the other side of the Pacific.

If it is not done well, it means that it is not pleased inside and out, and it also corrupts the company's reputation and becomes the target of attack.

Ronan knows very well that great movies have no national boundaries, but the audience has national boundaries.

Therefore, some aspects must be cautious.

For example, he will never let Marvel Entertainment make so-called Oriental superhero movies.

This is typically thankless.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is no mention of the other side of the Pacific Ocean to avoid the power of Scissors.

It is not wise to please deliberately. According to Ronan's past experience, it is safest to completely ignore the existence of the other side of the Pacific in Hollywood movies.

is like the strategy adopted by Relativity Entertainment.

The business is carried out normally, keep a certain distance, and always keep silent.

"The Incredibles" has also entered the oriental film market, just like other animated films of Pixar Studios, with continuous applause, but not at all, the box office is mediocre, with little harvest.

The works of Pixar's studio are always inconsistent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

A good movie can hardly kill the whole world.

Pixar Studio’s animated feature films are almost without exception in the Oriental Cinema.

However, in the home of Hollywood in North America, this animated feature film by Pixar Studios still maintains enough popularity. In addition to the box office, offline channels have also begun to generate continuous income for Relativity Entertainment.

Once Hollywood's animated films sell at the box office, the profits in the surrounding areas are often amazingly high.

Less than a week after the release of "The Incredibles", it brought in sales revenue of up to 39.8 million U.S. dollars for Relativity Entertainment on offline channels.

You know, the various copyright authorization negotiations for this film have not yet started.

The copyright authorization of popular cartoons sells for hundreds of millions of dollars at all.

With Thanksgiving approaching, the North American film market has once again become more popular, and more and more movies have begun to be released together.

On a new weekend, there are several films with a scale of more than 2,000 theaters, many of which have very high reputations, such as "Charlotte's Web" released by Paramount Pictures and produced by Twentieth Century Fox The release of "Borat" and Disney's Touchstone Pictures' "Time Effect" and so on.

The latter is starring Denzel Washington, the Oscar winner for best actor.

Although this is the second weekend before Thanksgiving, the intention of these films to get a slice of the pie during Thanksgiving is very obvious.

To a certain extent, these films were released in groups and were also driven over.

Because the next weekend, the weekend before Thanksgiving, there is a sequel to the super hit movie-"Wonderful Night at the Museum 2".

The sequels of successful movies have always been difficult to provoke. Everyone knows this, so no movie is willing to collide head-on with the first super-selling "Museum Wonderful Night 2".

These films have been released, and each one hopes to be the final winner, but there is no strength that can overwhelm the others.

Instead, he entered "The Incredibles", which was released the next weekend. With the super stable trend of animated films, he snatched the title of champion from many newly released films and won the North American box office list this weekend.

Compared to the first week of its release, the box office of "The Incredibles" only dropped less than 30% during the weekend, and received 54.17 million US dollars in three days!

This super stable trend also helped the film's North American box office to exceed 150 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, with a total of 152.78 million U.S. dollars.

Among the several newly released films, the highest-grossing film is Twentieth Century Fox’s "Borat", but only $26.11 million in the opening weekend earned him, and he can only look up to "The Incredibles."

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the data from various aspects of the North American film market this year undoubtedly proves that this is a small film year. There are very few commercial films that are really big sellers. The annual box office champion was also booked early by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: End of the World" .

All major Hollywood studios, except for Relativity Entertainment, which has the same stable output and quality, the other large and medium-sized companies seem to lack masterpieces this year.

Warner Bros. originally had high hopes, but the rush of "Superman Returns" has caused Warner Bros. to change the schedule of many movies and focus more on the future.

At the same time, the North American awards season has also kicked off. Many films that are interested in winning this year's awards have also increased their publicity.

This year, three films under Relativity Entertainment will make an impact on the Oscars during the awards season. They are Martin Scorsese's "Infinite Walker", Sophia Coppola's "Juneo" and Pixar Studios' "Superman". general mobilization".

The latter has the clearest goal and the greatest possibility of winning. The award for the best animated feature film is generally accompanied by DreamWorks Animation Studios and Pixar Studios wins the award for the best animated feature film.

The theme of "Juneo" and the investment of resources in Relativity Entertainment decided that this is a run-in film, and how many nominations can be made. Basically, the Oscar statuette has little hope.

"Infernal Walker" will not be released in North America until December. This is Relativity Entertainment's number one highlight in this awards season. The first goal is the best film, followed by Tom Cruise's best actor and Martin Scorser. The best director award.

Compared with the last time "Aviator" that hit the Oscars, Martin Scorsese, who has returned to the gang theme, is undoubtedly more emboldened.

Besides, the previous defeat was precisely the qualification for this time.

Ronan also took the time to chat with Martin Scorsese about the awards of this award season. Compared with the previous time, Martin Scorsese's mentality is much more stable and he is not so worried.

Even this failure is not the end of the world for Martin Scorsese. Clint Eastwood is so old that he can still direct films, and Martin Scorsese can do the same.

The key to Ronan's advice is to let Martin Scorsese not be high-profile, nor does he need to be high-profile.

As long as "Infernal Walker" is released normally, the whole world knows that Martin Scorsese will hit the Oscar for best director and best picture again, and there is no need to say it.

is too high-profile, but it will make people feel too deliberate. It may cause some neutrals to resent and become a sub-item.

Actually, Ronan felt that the chances of Martin Scorsese winning the prize were infinite as long as the prize was rushed step by step.

Surprisingly Winning and the like are not suitable for Martin Scorsese and his films.

As for Tom Cruise's best actor, Ronan also specifically chatted with Tom Cruise.

Perhaps it was the entanglement with his former agent Pat Kinsley a few years ago. Tom Cruise is now in a very good state of mind: "Of course I am happy to get the best actor, the Golden Man. If I can't get it. It doesn’t matter. In fact, I understand that this best actor is just icing on the cake for me now, and it can no longer affect my status in Hollywood."

Ronan also agreed with Tom Cruise's words: "Oscar is more of an honor for you, other aspects are optional, but Embassy Pictures will actively PR for you, as long as there is a chance, we still strive to win back That little golden man."

Tom Cruise said: "I have prepared 5 million dollars on my side, and you ask Embassy Pictures to keep in touch with my team."

Ronan nodded slightly: "No problem."

"How likely is Martin to win the prize?" Tom Cruise asked curiously.

Ronan replied directly: "No matter who the competitor is, Martin has the greatest chance of winning."

This has nothing to do with "Infinite Walker" but the capital that Martin Scorsese has accumulated over the years.

Tom Cruise reminded: "Clint Eastwood is here again this year, and it will be released in December of the New Year. You have to be careful."

"I know." Ronan knew something about it: "Old Cowboy used the shots of one film and cut two films. It was really amazing. But he just won the best director, Golden Man, two years ago. It's impossible. Get another one immediately."

In terms of voting by judges, it is generally rare to vote for those who have just won the prize recently.

Besides, although "Flags of Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" are good, they are not top-notch in the works directed by Clint Eastwood.

Then, the two discussed potential competitors for the best actor.

In fact, the overall competitive strength of the best actor in this year's Oscar is not strong, but Ronan vaguely remembers that once a black actor won the Oscar winner.

Compared to the natural skin color advantage of blacks, Tom Cruise doesn't seem to have much advantage.

Ronan didn't think too much, this kind of thing can only be said at the time, since the beginning of the new century, Oscars have produced too many black movie kings, maybe the judges should strike a balance.

After all, it has not yet reached the point where the nomination standard is measured by skin color.

It won’t take too long. There will be huge changes in Hollywood and the entire Western world’s award criteria, and more messy standards will be added to the factors that seriously affect the award.
