Chapter 1028 There will always be a day to go home
Although the movies that have never starred in have been hit with a box office of over 100 million in North America, Tom Cruise's market appeal is undoubtedly.
The former Tom Cruise, in the later stage, could only rely on the Mission: Impossible series to support his status.
Because of Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, especially last year's "The Walker of the Stop" and the Oscar-Best Actor Little Golden Man who just won, Tom Cruise is far more appealing than before, and is one of the top superstars in Hollywood today.
Universal Pictures lacks Kim Carrey's "Fake God 2" and cannot be an opponent of "Mission Impossible 3".
"Disc 3" became the champion of the North American box office list this weekend with a box office of nearly $60 million. "Fake God 2" ranked second with $31.19 million. "The Hulk", which entered the third weekend, ranked third, with a box office of $17.55 million that weekend.
The North American box office of "Hulk Hulk" also exceeded 150 million US dollars in one fell swoop. According to the current box office trend, it is not difficult for North American box office to exceed 200 million US dollars.
Overseas, as the film appears in the film markets in more countries and regions, the overseas box office of "The Hulk" also exceeded US$100 million.
Although the global box office is expected to reach around US$400 million, there is little hope that "Hulk Hulk" will recover all its investment through box office revenue alone, and it still depends on the operation of the offline market.
"Mission Impossible 3" has been successful in the first week of box office. Whether Tom Cruise or Paramount Pictures, they naturally want to shoot a sequel.
Despite Tom Cruise's problems, his professional qualities and professional attitude are not to doubt.
He quickly contacted Brad Bird and Pixar Studios and was about to invite Brad Bird to serve as the director of Mission Impossible 4.
After "Superman", Brad Bird did not start a new animated feature film business and was also interested in directing live-action movies.
Ronan and Pixar Studios will not set up obstacles for the directors below.
In the past, Ronan and Tom Cruise also envisioned the ability to completely reclaim the copyright of the Mission: Impossible series from Paramount Pictures.
But Paramount Pictures doesn't let go, and everything else is useless.
In recent years, Paramount Pictures has suffered a setback in front of Relativity Entertainment, and then failed to acquire DreamWorks. Its performance has fallen completely. Not only has it ranked at the bottom among the six major Hollywood companies, but its performance has long been surpassed by Relativity Entertainment, and it is even worse than DreamWorks.
That is, there is a huge film library and relatively complete marketing channels, otherwise Paramount Pictures will face an extremely serious situation.
The Mission: Impossible series can be said to be the only remaining facade and signature in the Paramount Pictures series of movies.
Burbank, Hughes Aircraft Factory studio, Ronan came out of the studio of the Iron Man 2 crew and said to Jon Favreau, who was sent out: "My suggestion is to increase the interaction between Iron Man and the potential superhero in the future. There is no need to point out which superhero it is, but you can get one or two specious shots."
Jon Favreau asked: "I have considered it, such as Doctor Strange..."
Ronan said: "I communicated with Jos Weden. The part of Doctor Strange and the New York Sanctuary can be placed in the final New York War in the Avengers. Jon, I remember some of the Spider-Man and Iron Man comics. These two superheroes have a close relationship. Iron Man is to some extent the guide to Spider-Man."
Jon Favreau nodded slightly: "The previous comics had this part of the settings."
Ronan said again: "Looking for a little boy will directly interact with Tony Stark, without pointing out that he is Peter Parker, but if Spider-Man can appear in the series in the future, he can follow the trend and become a big gimmick."
"No problem." Jon Favreau's biggest point is that he has strong execution. He first responded and then asked: "The copyright of future Spider-Man..."
Ronan sighed: "Wait for the opportunity, Peter Parker will always go home one day."
Jon Favreau knew that this was not something a director could solve, and after Ronan left, he returned to the studio to continue his work in "Iron Man 2".
The production cost of the sequel movie rose to $170 million, most of which came from rising personnel compensation.
Robert Downey Jr. is a typical example, his pay for the second film soared to $6 million.
The long contract signed by Marvel Entertainment with him effectively restricted the excessive expansion of actors' pay.
The former Robert Downey Jr. can be said to have overwhelmed the entire Marvel and even Disney.
Ronan then went to another nearby studio converted from a down-of-air hangar, where Lindsay Bill's "The Hunger Games" crew was stationed.
Before we came to the Hughes Aircraft Factory, the two sides made an appointment.
Ronan wants to meet the director and heroine who have been confirmed in this project.
In the studio, in the producer's office, Lindsay Bill introduced two women to Ronan.
First of all, the middle-aged woman: "This is director Patty Jaykins."
Next is the brown-brunette woman: "This is the actor Gal Gadot from Israel."
Ronan shook hands for Patty Jaykins first and said, "Director Jaykins, we have seen it before. The few films you directed are masterpieces."
Patty Jaggins said with a smile: "It is a great honor to be able to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment."
Then, Ronan shook hands with Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress wearing thin-legged jeans and high heels, highlighting her legs with extra length.
"Hello, Miss Gadot." Ronan once left a very deep impression on Gal Gadot: "I hope you can bring us an unforgettable Katnis."
Gal Gadot has participated in the Miss Universe Competition. He is not a person who has never seen the world. He has no slutty at all and said with a smile: "I will do my best for this role."
Ronan looked at her extremely slender figure because she was seriously thin and said bluntly: "You need to exercise more, Katniss is a very strong girl."
Gal Gadot looked at Lindsay Bill and said, "The crew has already made a fitness plan for me, and I am ready to gain 10 pounds of muscle."
Lindsay Bill also said: "I have hired professional coaches and nutritionists."
Ronan nodded and asked, "Director Jekins, I read your shooting and production plan, it's good."
Patty Jaggins quickly said: "This is the biggest feeling I have ever seen after reading the original work. I found a balance between Lindsay and put Katniss in a dangerous environment."
She thought for a moment and further said: "We all agree to make Katniss the absolute core of the entire film, with a certain role in the male character, becoming Katniss' supporting role. This Hunger Games will explore in-depth the chaotic, restless themes of modern warfare, including those involved in the fight, and how they weave their lives and eventually escape from this smoke-filled place."
Lindsay Bill continued: "Ronan, the creativity and setting of "The Hunger Games" comes from you. I am the author, and Patty is consistent with our philosophy. The film is based on women as its absolute core, and the theme and background are very cruel and dark."
Gal Gadot is just a young actress who doesn't have much acting experience, and can only listen to the producer and director's words at this time.
The series "The Hunger Games" is of great value. Even if Ronan is at ease with Lindsay Bill, he will definitely meet director Patty Jekins.
Patty Jekins's shooting philosophy is indeed reassuring: "So, the film creates the character of Katnis, and balances the dark and cruel elements through her growth and evolution - this extremely stubborn and stubborn girl will eventually become a brave and principled hero. Even if she started this adventure with a skeptical attitude at first, she also received the powerful energy derived from love and sacrifice, not only for her family, but also for those strangers she had rarely cared about and cared about before."
Ronan did not stay here for a long time and was about to leave soon. Lindsay Bill accompanied him to walk outside the studio.
"How is the Twilight?" Ronan asked, looking at the studio under construction.
Lindsay Bill briefly said: "The New Moon has been filmed and is under post-production. I have communicated with the Embassy Film Company. The plotter will be released on time next year."
She paused for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, next year's holiday season, or early 2009, the Hunger Games will be released."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Please pay attention to playing the original card."
Driven by the promotion of Relativity Entertainment and Random House, the Hunger Games series has sold amazingly in recent months, especially after the film was announced, and its popularity has also increased unprecedentedly. In North America alone, the total sales have surged from 16 million copies to 35 million copies now.
Especially the first book has been on the New York Times best-selling list for more than 180 weeks in a row.
In April this year, among the top 30 North American pop culture terms assessed by the Los Angeles Times, Katniss's "Shi Huiguo" also occupied a position.
It can be said that a good foundation has been laid for the film adaptation.
From Burbank, when Ronan returned to the Century City Relativity Building, when Ronan entered the office, Connie came over and said, "Miss Felton is back, I just called your office."
Luo Nan nodded slightly: "I understand."
He returned to the office and called Jessica Felton. Jessica Felton seemed to be busy with matters related to the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4". Without saying a few words, the two agreed to go back together after get off work and hung up the phone.
As soon as he put down the phone, Connie informed Ronan again that Uvi Ball came over and sent a script at the same time.
Uvi Ball seemed to be in a hurry and hurriedly handed the script to Ronan and left.
Chapter completed!
