Chapter 1104： Stepmother Alliance

The success of a movie often brings a series of chain reactions in the follow-up, which is not uncommon in Hollywood.

For example, the success of "Avatar" has led a 3D upsurge in the world. It is reflected in the Hollywood industry circle. In the past month or so, there have been nearly two large and medium-sized production companies including six major companies. Ten major 3D movie projects are either under planning or are already on the agenda.

Cinema companies are also deeply affected. The newly launched theaters begin to build 3D theaters, after all, 3D fares are higher.

After the schedule of Independence Day, the global box office of "Avatar" surpassed "Titanic" and became the global box office champion. Even though "Titanic" still retained the North American box office champion, it was overtaken by "Avatar", which is two or three weeks. time.

The statistics are very clear. Simply counting the number of viewers more than a month after the two films were screened, "Titanic" beats "Avatar".

But the latter's box office has surpassed the former by a large margin.

What is the reason? The cinema company feels most directly! It is nothing more than the high ticket prices brought by 3D and IMX3D.

The popularity of "Avatar" has made theater companies plagued by attendance, the North American film market where the total number of audiences decreases each year, and the large and medium-sized Hollywood studios as producers and distributors, as if they have seen the future of movies.

In the short term, 3D movies are indeed very marketable.

This is enough for Hollywood companies and theater companies.

In those emerging markets, because theaters are built from scratch, the newly built theaters are basically 3D theaters.

The same is true for new theaters in North America, and the number of 3D and IMAX theaters that have been pushed into the construction plan has skyrocketed.

The 3D market boom brought by "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" is visible and tangible, and has already driven changes in the entire industry.

In the future, audiences around the world will see countless 3D movies with 3D effects only with subtitles.

Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, whether it is filmed with 3D technology or not, first transfer it into a 3D movie in post-production.

After all, this will increase the fare a lot.

"Alice in Wonderland" sold at the box office in the first weekend, and the market situation was very good. To a certain extent, it also brought a certain degree of popularity to real-life fairy tale movies.

Embassy Pictures used the advertising patch "Alice in Wonderland" of "Beauty and the Beast", the highly restored Bella and the theme song, with the help of the latter's popularity, which attracted a lot of attention.

Especially Bella, aroused the feelings of countless people.

Relativity Entertainment even pre-heated the films released on holiday seasons. It was publicized and promoted in the media and the Internet, calling this film an epic of love that does not judge people by their appearance, and love can drive away all evil love.

The propaganda plays out, but the movie is still old wine in new bottles.

In terms of other live-action fairy tale movies, "Cinderella" has been set up, and shooting can begin as soon as the end of this year.

In addition, the new "Sleeping Beauty" movie takes on the schedule. After getting the first draft script, Angelina Jolie has agreed to play the role of the fairy godmother of Sleeping Beauty.

The stepmother in "Cinderella", Relativity Entertainment invited Cate Blanchett.

Not surprisingly, the fairy tale live-action movie of Relativity Entertainment will form a powerful "stepmother alliance".

Ronan also had the impression that the stepmothers of Disney once held a tea party for future mothers in order to promote live-action movies.

By mid-July, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie had both signed actor contracts with Shahai Entertainment.

As for the leading actors and actresses, they all use new actors.

In Hollywood, actors are never a scarce resource.

"Alice in Wonderland" spent its third weekend in North American theaters, and the North American box office easily exceeded $300 million.

With the blessing of the 3D boom, the global box office easily reached 552.14 million US dollars.

Although the production of "Alice in Wonderland" is very good, the visual effect is far beyond the previous one, but with such excellent box office results, the impulsive 3D consumption of the film market is also a crucial factor.

The North American box office of "Avatar" exceeded $700 million, surpassing "Titanic" and officially became the North American box office champion.

In terms of global box office, when "Titanic" has not yet been converted to a 3D re-screening, "Avatar" has also become the first ever movie with a global box office of more than 2 billion US dollars.

There is no doubt that Relativity Entertainment has made a lot of money in this movie alone.

Embassy Pictures collected various data, made estimates, and combined box office and DVD online and offline revenues. Within this year alone, "Avatar" will bring about 1.5 billion US dollars in profits for Relativity Entertainment.

Then there is "Fast and Furious 4".

After the film was screened for a month, the North American box office totaled 232.68 million U.S. dollars and the global box office approached 500 million U.S. dollars.

The "Fast and Furious" series has begun to show the market style of super production.

At the same time, Pixar Studios' animated feature film "Robot Walli" was also released in North America, with a box office of 63.01 million US dollars in the first weekend.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of "Robot Walli" was almost blown out by the media as the best animated film ever.

Embassy Pictures now has a wealth of experience in issuing animated feature films. It will not simply be confused by word-of-mouth. According to the actual market conditions, the global box office of "Robot Walle" needs to be lucky enough to recover all the investment.

In addition, the film received a mediocre response in the surrounding market, and the sales of products that have been similar to Wali's were not very good.

But one thing is certain, next year’s Oscar’s Best Animated Feature Film has already had results in advance.

"This ship looks very powerful."

At the port of Malibu, Ronan stood on a huge ship and said to James Cameron next to him: "It looks much bigger than the one in previous years."

This is the top deck. Looking at the sea, the sea and the sky are endless and boundless. James Cameron likes this environment the most. He briefly introduced: "This is a scientific research ship launched last year. It has the latest world Technology and equipment, as well as the best deep-water submersibles."

He pointed to the boom on the front deck below and said, "Look, those round ones are."

The silver-white submersible didn't look too big. A technician was doing a pre-delivery inspection. Ronan looked at it for a while and said, "It's sci-fi."

James Cameron said: "The rent is also very expensive, fortunately it is sponsored by Sony Electronics."

Over the years, he has been cooperating with Sony Electronics, and many new photographic technology and equipment patents are in the hands of the two.

Ronan looked at the submersibles and asked, "You don't really want to go down the Mariana Trench yourself?"

"Of course." James Cameron invited again: "Let's go together, the rendered seabed is a man's romance."

Ronan held on to the railing with both hands: "I heard that there are many terrifying behemoths living in the deep sea, such as octopuses in trucks. If you can see them, take a few pictures and come back."

James Cameron said solemnly: "I went to the deep-sea scientific expedition to shoot a documentary. You are going to force a horror movie on the Bay.

Ronan couldn't help laughing. He looked at the time and said, "James, good luck, sometimes I will visit you."

James Cameron also laughed: "Don't worry, I won't be eaten by the behemoth of the deep sea."

The two talked about the "Avatar" sequel. The second part will not be really on the agenda until James Cameron completes the Mariana Trench expedition.

In other words, fans of "Avatar" or James Cameron, if they want to see the sequel, can only hope that the great director will not encounter the behemoth of the deep sea.

The ship will leave soon, passing through Hawaii to the South Pacific. Ronan didn't wait much, and soon left and got on the wharf.

He saw that the time was still early, and he did not return to Century City, and asked David to go to the Hughes Aircraft Factory. The "Avengers" is being filmed here, and it has reached the final stage.

The atmosphere of the film length is heavy, and the six veterans of the reunion have assembled and told the world through practical actions what a superhero should be!

Each hero has its own journey and beginning: why do we fall, because in this way we learn to stand up; each hero also has its own end: it doesn’t matter who you are, what matters is what you do By.

Okay, it's going on. This is the story of Christopher Nolan's set that Ronan visited a few days ago.

"The Dark Knight Rises" has also begun preparations, but it has nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan went over and chatted with him for a while while Jos Weden let the crew rest.

"All the location scenes have been filmed." Jos Weyden told Ronan about the progress: "Next month, the crew will be fully transferred to post-production, and they will be completed in February next year. I hope there will be one this time. Good results."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes. The single-player movie has been fully warmed up, and "Avengers" will become the most successful commercial superhero movie."

Regarding Ronan's words, Jos Weiden is very confident: "I hope that the global box office can reach one billion US dollars."

Ronan smiled and didn't say much, one billion dollars in the global box office is just to make "The Avengers" return to the box office.

The production cost of this superhero blockbuster is as high as 200 million US dollars, and the global publicity and distribution costs will be around 150 million US dollars.

Seeing Ronan, the six actors also came over to say hello at their respective times.

Ronan also chatted with them more or less.

Until the completion of the purple sweet potato essence, the six veterans of Fulian are the absolute core of the entire team. They will be closely tied to Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment for the next ten years.

When Ronan was about to leave, Jos Weiden took advantage of the rest time and talked about another thing: "I have a friend who has a realistic science fiction project in his hands. He has been planning it since 2006. Now, because the script and story are too simple, they have been ignored, but I think this project is good and very valuable. Ronan, can you spare time to meet him?"

Jos Weiden is a more reliable person. Ronan just thought about it and said, "Let him come to my office tomorrow."
