Chapter 715

Not only did Shahai Entertainment not publicly reveal its attitude of showing the red lights in "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric", it also contacted Roland Emmerich and his agent according to Ronan's intention, which created an illusion for the outside world that Shahai Entertainment was very interested in this prehistoric film project.

Ronan can't remember which company has ever filmed and produced this video, but if the 20th Century Fox is interested, he will be happy to see it.

No matter which of the six major companies is willing to invest, it is not a bad thing.

Ronan was inspired by "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric". In the past, Hollywood invested in big-produced epics and did not stop there. From time to time, first-line big-produced epics would be released, indicating that the epic film project has always had a market for the six major companies.

Perhaps we can put out these news, which can not only appropriately divert the attention of the six major companies, but also consume their resources...

Even if no one pays attention, Relativity Entertainment will not suffer any losses, it is just spreading a little news.

Ronan thought for a while, and soon had a simple plan, and immediately called George Clint.

"The news about "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric" has spread to the 20th Century Fox."

George Clint introduced the latest developments: "From the feedback, it seems that it is not only a company that is interested in this project, but someone discovered that Warner Bros. suddenly contacted Roland Emmerich's agent yesterday."

Ronan was curious: "Warner Brothers are interested, too?"

"It seems." George Clint said: "Warner Bros. talked about what exactly with Roland Emmerich's agent, but it must be related to the film project."

Ronan couldn't help but shook his head secretly. It was clearly a hole dug for 20th Century Fox, so why did Warner Brothers jump in?

If you like it, come in. Anyway, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. cooperate and compete, and both sides have dug holes for each other.

As someone who has followed Ronan to develop step by step, George Clint has always been confident in Ronan: "You once said that epic film projects have risks, and companies should be very cautious in dealing with this type. Is there any problem with "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric"?"

"If there is any problem, you have to wait for the movie to be filmed." Ronan said implicitly: "Roland Emmerich is good at science fiction and disasters, shooting such prehistoric epics..."

He shook his head: "If it were Roland Emmerich and disaster films, I would invest in Roland Emmerich without hesitation, but let it go."

This can be seen by Ronan, and many people can also see it.

But Roland Emmerich succeeded one after another, and the halo of a successful director has always been an important basis for production companies to review and determine projects.

If it is an ordinary director plus "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric", this project may be unwilling in Hollywood. If it is a famous director, it will naturally be another situation.

In this industry, it is not as convincing as the qualification to succeed in one go.

George Clint said at this time: "Roland Emmerich has a very good market in Hollywood."

Ronan nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and said, "George, are there many people staring at Sand Sea Entertainment?"

George Clint understands Ronan's meaning: "Our videos have been successful one after another, and many companies are staring at us, hoping to grab projects from us."

He smiled: "But they can get very few. At present, our film projects are mainly divided into two sources. One is that you provide creativity, we register the copyright of the script; the other is that we purchase the adaptation copyright first. There are still a few parts, provided by our collaborators, and Shahai Entertainment provides them with favorable conditions, and they are willing to continue to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment."

Seeing Ronan thinking, George Clint said again: "There are actually very few projects that are truly delivered to Shahai Entertainment."

Ronan said calmly: "It's not easy for them to stare at us. It's been so long, so it's time to give them some benefits."

Giving benefits? George Clint definitely doesn't believe that his boss will pay benefits to his competitors.

It's really a benefit, and it's also a toxic benefit.

Ronan is really going to have a big welfare delivery and said, "Find a suitable way to let the news spread, Shahai Entertainment intends to shoot related movies based on the story of Robin Hood."

The story of Robin Hood is widely circulated in the English-speaking world and is well-known. Hollywood has filmed related movies more than once, so George Clint naturally knows these.

Ronan said again: "The story of Moses's division of the sea is also good. Shahai Entertainment intends to shoot a live-action movie based on "Exodus".

A few years ago, DreamWorks Animation Studio filmed the magnificent hand-drawn animated feature film "The Prince of Egypt", which was adapted from "Exodus". Although it was not particularly successful in business, the media was very popular due to some special relationships.

George Clint said: "I understand, when I go back I will arrange the relevant matters."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "This is a classic subject, and it is also a type that has been photographed and taken by Hollywood. There is no copyright issue, and it should have a certain degree of credibility."

It seems that he has seen more than one big investment movie "Robin Hood", and Ridley Scott has also filmed the live-action version of "Exodus", which is also starring Christian Bale.

Hollywood is keen on these classic themes, but the results of the past show that a new generation of teenage audiences are not interested in such movies.

Like King Arthur, Robin Hood later became a bad guy who would touch and who would be unlucky.

The stories in the Bible seem to be outdated in today's era of online information fast food.

Someone once photographed it, and maybe someone would be moved.

Neither Robin Hood nor Moses’s division of the sea, there is no copyright issue. Anyone who is willing to shoot an adaptation is just there, and there are no copyright restrictions at all.

George Clint left Ronan's office and returned to Sandhai Entertainment, and immediately set out to arrange for someone to quietly spread the news.

At the same time, Hollywood awards season officially kicked off.

Since the mid-to-late 1990s, the Gotham Independent Film Awards, which were awarded at the end of November, has become a symbol of the opening of the awards season.

Although it is the second largest independent film award in the United States after St. Dennis, the Gotham Independent Film Awards has not been particularly influential. The more important the awards are, the more influential the awards are, the later the results will be announced.

Needless to say, Oscars and other things, such as the Actors’ Union and Directors’ Union Awards, are often behind the Golden Globes.

Strictly speaking, the highly invested "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door" is also an independent movie, after all, the only investor is Shahai Entertainment.

However, "When Happiness Comes Knocks" has only appeared at film festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. It has neither been released in North America nor has it been previewed in a small scale, and is not qualified to participate in the Gotham Independent Film Awards.

Not only "When Happiness Comes Knocks", many of the seed contestants Ronan believes have not participated in the Gotham Independent Film Awards.

For example, "The Aviator" directed by Martin Scorsese, "Million Dollar Baby" directed by Clint Eastwood, and "The Crash" that Embassy Pictures has bought out.

All of these videos will not be released or previewed until December.

The released "Soul Singer" started well in the awards season, winning the Gotham Independent Film Awards Best Film and Best Breakthrough Director, while the black actor Jamie Fox won the Best Breakthrough Actor.

Embassy Films also gained something, and the already released "The Diary of the Emperor Penguin" won the Best Documentary Award.

After weeks of filming, "The Diary of the Emperor Penguin" expanded to 2,102 theaters the previous weekend, and won $9.89 million in box office.

This documentary has a total box office of US$16.33 million in North America.

"The Diary of the Emperor Penguin" is not a film that Embassy Films focuses on resources. The Best Documentary Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards is also conducive to the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

Compared with popular awards, the competition for Best Documentary is much worse. Among the documentaries released this year, the most popular documentary is "Fahrenheit 911".

This documentary has created too many records, such as the documentary’s highest box office record in North America, the world’s highest box office record, etc.

But "Fahrenheit 911" has no competitiveness in awards season and Oscars. Not to mention winning the Oscar best documentary, according to the general view in the industry, there is no possibility of winning the Oscar nomination.

Of course, there are also awards that love Fahrenheit 911.

It is said that the Golden Raspberry Award is very fond of this film and plans to award the worst male lead to the one in the white house.

This year, there have been many bad movies in Hollywood, such as "Catwoman", "King Arthur", "Alexander the Great", etc., but neither Colin Farrell nor Ben Affleck have any competitiveness in front of Xiaobian.

If nothing unexpected happens, this worst male lead is not small.

In Hollywood awards season, the four most important winners, if you analyze them carefully, there are many upset situations, such as the ones in Gwyneth Paltrow and "Shapes Love History", but more often, the winners are able to win 60% or even more than 70% of the awards related to the awards season.

To a certain extent, the weather vane is relatively reliable, because the more weather vane awards you get, the higher the exposure.

There are too many judges in the Oscars who don’t watch videos at all. In addition to public relations, they will vote based on their familiarity.

Another effective way to increase exposure is of course spending money.

Buy advertisements and soft articles in newspapers and magazines with wide audiences in Hollywood, such as Vanity Fair, Variety Show, Entertainment Weekly, Empire and Hollywood Reporter, which have made a lot of popularity.

During the awards season, these magazines will be available for takeout advertisements, and the transaction price of each page can reach six figures.
