Chapter 1110： Dark movie universe

Real stories, real people, real events!

These can be described as full of gimmicks, and this is a country where theism is rampant.

Although more people believe in money, the influence of gods and monsters is still huge, especially when there is a big company like Relativity Entertainment behind it.

Moreover, after James Wynn's hands-on training in "Latent", he incorporated more documentary styles into "Calling the Soul", which made the film more realistic.

In the horror movie genre, James Wynn began to shine in a style called a master.

To use the "Hollywood Reporter" comment: As the director, James Wynn, in this haunted story of the Wilderness House that has been used in many classic horror movies, with his solid directing skills and excellent rhythm control can be described as a viewer. The mood of the movie is freely mobilized, and the rendering technique of white space creates a more spooky atmosphere than visual impact. With the arrival of the ending, this horror film based on real events truly shuddered.

The media also believes that "Calling the Soul" should be rated as NC-17, because this film is too terrifying and can scare people to pee.

Relativity Entertainment is also constantly creating publicity stunts.

For example, posting videos of so-called fans being interviewed on Netflix.

Q: Is watching horror movies scary?

Answer: Watching a ghost film adapted from real events is terrible.

Ask again: Do you believe in the existence of ghosts in the world?

Answer again: After watching the "Calling the Soul" series, I am not determined...

He even hyped up some ghosts and gods through the media.

"What is "Calling the Soul"? I am afraid that it will never be known. In the age of advocating science, many spiritual events have been classified as feudal superstitions, but there are indeed some unsolved mysteries in this world that humans cannot use science. Break through. For ghosts and gods, all we can do is have a heart of awe."

After the premiere, "Calling the Soul" won unanimous praise from fans and the media, and word-of-mouth is definitely one of the best in the horror genre.

Some fans said: "The biggest feature of "Call of Souls" is that there are no excessively **** and violent scenes. The sense of horror completely impacts people's hearts and emotions, constantly torturing people's beliefs and cognition, and pushing horror films to a new realm. Even if you were originally firm and atheistic, you will be shaken after watching the film."

As a horror film full of highlights and gimmicks, with such a good audience and media reputation, the market response can be imagined.

During the North American premiere weekend, "Calling the Soul" scored $48.96 million, setting a record since James Wynn Congying!

After years of accumulation, the great Chinese horror director finally ushered in a moment of outbreak.

The horror movie universe has become more and more successful, and the later "Latent 2", "Annabelle" and "Call of Souls 2" will also receive more attention.

In addition, James Wynn also has a new plan for "Call of Souls 2".

Many of the first shots of "Call of the Souls" were placed on the ghost doll Annabel in order to introduce the film; "Call of the Souls 2" will have a terrifying nun appear, which leads to the new series "Nun".

It is said that Vera Farmiga, the heroine of "The Call of Souls", has a sister named Tessa Farmiga, who will appear in "Call of Souls 2" and "Annabel" later.

This was the decision of James Wynn, and Ronan gave him such power.

The horror movie universe is completely in charge of the Chinese-American director. As long as there are no major problems, Ronan will not interfere at all.

In just ten days, the North American box office of "Call of Souls" exceeded US$100 million. Although the horror films were all short and flat types, the final North American box office reached US$150 million. There are not many problems.

The movie universe is not a new concept, but Hollywood can no longer ignore it, because the three movie universes of Relativity Entertainment have all achieved great success.

Needless to say, Marvel’s Avengers movie universe, everyone in the industry can realize that when "Avengers" is released next year, the market will inevitably drop a super box office bomb.

The horror movie universe is not new. In the past, there were no film companies that put multiple classic horror characters in a movie, and there were films like "Jason vs. Freddy".

But there has never been a company that can plan such a complete plan, using two so-called exorcism experts who do not know whether it is a liar in reality, and come up with a series of big-selling horror movies, and it seems that the momentum of big-selling has just begun. It will continue in the future.

The American historical celebrity film universe, a very unreliable Uvi-Bauer plan and implementation plan, this director is said to be very reliable except for the director level, I don't know if it is because the audience is particularly interested in the film universe Because of this, with a spoof of a big commander movie, he won the best result since the film.

This makes many people feel uncomfortable. Even this kind of sand sculpture director can succeed. Why can't they?

Therefore, Universal Pictures pushed the "Universal Monster Cinematic Universe Project" into the implementation stage as quickly as possible. In order to avoid the tragedy of Warner Bros., the monster protagonist of the first movie was decided to choose the most familiar and reliable movie fans. mummy.

The tragic failure of Warner Bros. on "Green Lantern" has become a valuable lesson for all Hollywood. No wonder that Deadpool broke the fourth wall and ran out to kill the Canadian who has not yet been rate...

Universal Pictures tried its best to avoid this tragedy and sent out an invitation to Tom Cruise.

However, with the "Mission Impossible" series, which won the Oscar for Best Actor, and starred in the upcoming "Inception", Tom Cruise did not have as much demand for the role and development of a new territory.

Once Tom Cruise, only the "Mission Impossible" series was left to support the card, and there was an urgent need for a new hot movie, and then "The New Mummy" was taken over.

What follows is the tragedy, not only the tragedy of "The New Mummy", and even the monster movie universe of Universal Pictures.

After receiving the invitation, Tom Cruise came to ask Ronan's opinion.

"Universal Pictures is very sincere." Ronan heard Tom Cruise's description and said: "20 million US dollars plus 10% of the North American box office share."

Tom Cruise didn't take it seriously, and said: "I can't be the richest man in the world. Money is not important."

He is also a billionaire now, and his salary is not the first factor to impress him.

"Is the male protagonist that Universal Pictures invited you to be a mummy?" Ronan still has no confirmation.

"No." Tom Cruise simply explained: "Is an expert in history."

Ronan understood and said directly: "Tom, this is a mummy movie. The audience's focus is on the mummy. Universal Pictures wants to create a monster movie universe, and the focus is also on the mummy. In this way, this role is destined It is difficult to please, and it will even become the main content of the Universal Movie, which is the existence of Universal Monsters."

Tom Cruise nodded slowly and got Ronan's reminder. It's not difficult to figure these things out.

Ronan turned to ask, "Will you play a monster?"

"Impossible." Tom Cruise is not an ordinary star. When choosing a role, he must consider his own positioning. He said: "I can't play a mummy, that doesn't match my image."

Ronan spread his hands: "The result is obvious."

Tom Cruise said: "I understand, I will reject Universal Pictures when I look back."

Universal Pictures is ambitious. In order to create a monster movie universe, it has invested a lot of resources. The actors alone have currently finalized Russell Crowe, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, etc. There is no shortage of stars.

With so many stars, Tom Cruise doesn't think he is missing.

Let's carry forward the spirit and give the opportunity to others.

A week later, Universal Pictures convened a press conference to announce the monster movie universe plan, and named it-the dark movie universe!

It seems to emulate Marvel’s Avengers plan. The first stage of the dark film universe consists of six members: Mummy, Doctor Avatar, Frankenstein, Transparent Man, Werewolf, and Dracula the Vampire.

These are all famous monster characters in Hollywood movie history, all of which have been popular under the production and distribution of Universal Pictures before.

In a sense, this is also a huge investment in film remakes.

Universal Pictures can be described as ambitious. If every movie can be like the two "Mummy" directed by Stephen Sommers, they will have a series no less than the Avengers movie universe.

Selling peripherals can sell crazy!

But whether it can succeed depends on the movie.

Ronan vaguely remembered that Universal Pictures' dark film universe project finally turned into a lifetime series that was postponed indefinitely.

Entering the end of September, Relativity Entertainment took advantage of the brokerage crisis, and the strategy on Wall Street was rewarding, and a series of arrangements were made in advance for 20th Century Fox.

On the other hand After a long period of negotiation, Qianlu Group from the other side of the Pacific reached a cooperation agreement with Relativity Entertainment. The two parties jointly invested and registered a new company in the Cayman Islands for future use. Acquisition plan.

After the establishment of the new company, the two groups will inject capital in batches. If the plan goes well, the funds to be operated next will be tens of billions of dollars.

Qianlu Group has a deep background on the other side of the Pacific and has already raised large sums of money. Its person in charge, Lin Jian, is even more aware that this opportunity to win a major Hollywood company in one fell swoop. After missing the Relativity Entertainment, it may never happen again in the future. Never met.

Qianlu Group, which is aspiring to make achievements in the entertainment industry, has also begun to invest its efforts on the basis of maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.

At the same time, Ronan got news that Christopher Nolan, who was preparing to shoot "The Dark Knight Rises" for Warner Bros., was in great trouble. Warner Bros. intervened in the production of "The Dark Knight Rises", causing conflicts between the two sides.

Christopher Nolan also specifically asked Ronan for help, after all, he was the producer of the first two films.
