Chapter 950 Little Devil

Many people often need to pay tuition when investing in Hollywood's first work. "Air War Hero" is undoubtedly the first high tuition paid by David Ellison in Hollywood.

According to the previous trajectory, David Ellison had to pay such tuition many times.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps it was misfortune that David Ellison met Ronan, integrated into Hollywood at a faster pace, and hoped to compete for control of a truly top-notch company.

Next is Larry Ellison's support for David Ellison is really strong.

It is said that he invested a lot of money in David Ellison's foundation.

In this way, those who are born to stand at the end of success can only be envious and jealous.

Maple Leaf Pictures' next stage key film project is "The First Blood 4". Stallone has finished filming this film and may be released in the second half of the year or early next year.

David Ellison and Ryan Cavano want to have more cooperation with Relativity Entertainment on specific film projects, but Ronan will not let go of this, unless he can find another project like "The First Blood 4".

Besides, Maple Leaf Pictures now has Stallone as its long-term partner.

Stallone is a very thoughtful director. He always wants to reshape the glory of Hollywood classical action films. He is also lobbying everywhere. His cooperation with Maple Leaf Pictures is also a strong alliance.

Moreover, Stallone has enough capital, even if he is defeated, his family still has three thousand golds to support him.

Someone once said that the greatest difficulty in life is making choices. What should I do if the opportunity to choose one of three is in front of me?

A real man walks around the world with his sword and never makes a choice.

The next week after "Air War Heroes" was released, another masterpiece of Relativity Entertainment, "Fast and Furious 3", premiered in North America.

This sequel completely abandons Boss Don's design, and uses Paul Walker's male lead to lead the new double male lead, Dwayne Johnson, to build a racing family with "tired logging" as the core concept around these two characters.

"Fast and Furious 2" completely gave up Dominic Toreto, and "Fast and Furious 3" didn't even mention it.

At the premiere, all members of the racing family also made their debut. The multi-ethnic characteristics of the main actors are also conducive to attracting a wider audience.

The entire film implements Ronan and Jessica Felton's ideas, closely centering on action scenes and racing scenes, with an unprecedented explosive power and unremitting catharsis.

Cooperating with the active promotion and distribution of Embassy Pictures, the film has burst into great vitality since it was released.

In its first weekend of release in North America, Fast and Furious 3 won $68.75 million in one fell swoop, creating the best box office opening in the series.

In just ten days, the film's North American box office exceeded US$120 million.

This series of successful activations, and "Fast and Furious 4" was also put on the agenda.

And unlike the previous few, starting from the fourth part, Shahai Entertainment will increase its investment and build the "Fast and Furious" series into a quasi-first-line commercial production.

New characters will be introduced one after another to increase the attractiveness of the film in overseas regions.

Ronan is very clear that overseas is an important market for the "Fast and Furious" series, and overseas revenue will inevitably be above North America in the future. It is necessary to increase the appeal of the film overseas.

For example, when the film market across the Pacific can develop further, the racing family will inevitably introduce a Chinese character.

The film market across the Pacific has not yet exploded. It has just been making efforts in recent years. Hollywood movies have limited revenue there, and even the bar market next door cannot compare to.

This point cannot be resolved without negotiating new WTO agreements between the two sides of the Pacific.

After all, the box office share of the film market directly involves the WTO agreements on both sides, and cannot be decided by a single person or a company.

Hollywood's interests in this regard are consistent. Hollywood's medium and large companies, including Relativity Entertainment and the six major companies, have been lobbying the Washington authorities to further open up the film market across the Pacific.

Of course, even if an agreement can be reached, Hollywood movies will be subject to certain restrictions there.

It is not just this market that limits Hollywood movies.

In November 1994, the Hollywood film "The Desperate" became the first part of the account film introduced by the East, and created a box office miracle of 25 million that year. This made Hollywood imported blockbusters famous in one battle, and the film market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean became popular, and once became a "saving medicine" when the film market was in a downturn.

After that, some films such as "The True Lies", "The Lion King", "Forrest Gump" and "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" have had very good box office performances in China.

Perhaps many memories of the post-80s generation still have beautiful memories of sneaking into the theater to watch Leonardo's paintings for Kate Winslet.

This period appeared directly in the theater in that era, and it was incredible to think about it.

It probably has a lot to do with a senior executive who directly named and praised the video.

In 2001, the two sides formally signed a bilateral agreement on the WTO, which had clear regulations on the film industry, and allowed the import of 20 commercial blockbusters in the form of split accounts every year. At that time, the split account ratio was 13%.

The agreement is valid for 10 years.

It is not easy to modify this agreement in advance, and it is even more difficult to get a 25% box office share.

Hollywood is not only promoting these, but also two extremely important points: one is to introduce international audit institutions to supervise the box office of the Oriental film market; the other is to increase the number of batches of films introduced.

Once upon a time, after 2012, the Oriental film industry was facing the upcoming increase in overseas film quotas, and the Oriental film industry was in a state of grief.

But the facts have proved that Oriental movies don’t have to underestimate themselves when facing Hollywood. Only in competition can they become bigger and stronger, and the same is true for movies.

Just seeking protection will only backfire.

Someone once said: "The openness of the Oriental film market to Hollywood is the destruction of filmmakers who rely on luck, so-called star lineup, rely on old capital, and rely on black hands to operate the market to achieve some kind of success. It is only a blessing for producers who improve the overall production level of Oriental films and comply with the rules of the film."

It is no exaggeration to say that the audience is also one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Which audience doesn’t like to see colorful movie genres on the big screen?

If the market is closed and there is a stagnant pool of water inside, you can only see some movies in the theater, and no one can imagine it.

Of course, certain restrictions are also necessary.

Hollywood's huge industrialization system destroyed the Hong Kong City film industry in a terrible way. The latter could not even resist and was easily defeated.

The new Oriental film industry requires time and space to grow.

In August, Relativity Entertainment only had one film "Fast and Furious 3" released, and its box office success brought endless possibilities to the subsequent series.

By the end of the month, the North American box office of "Fast and Furious 3" was close to $200 million, and the global box office exceeded $350 million. It is no longer difficult to recover investment through the box office.

In addition, after exhausting all the popularity of the theater market, "The Three Hundred Warriors" was officially removed from North America.

This unique comic adaptation movie finally stopped at the box office of North America at $256.89 million.

At present, the global box office of the film has exceeded the $500 million mark. Although the subsequent growth is slow, it will continue to appear in the film markets in more than a dozen countries and regions.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is a super big seller, and Relativity Entertainment is naturally the biggest winner.

Director Zach Schneider also benefited a lot.

Because of the box office of this film, Warner Bros.'s trust in Zach Schneider is enough to be described as doubled. It not only gave him the final editing rights of "Watchmen", but also allowed him to participate in the process and film style of the Justice League's film universe plan.

It is said that Warner Bros. and DC Comics, at the suggestion of Zach Schneider, have agreed to use a picture style similar to "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", which is as thick as oil paintings.

This is not only brought by "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", but also related to the "Batman" series that Ronan and Warner Bros.

Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" has completed the preliminary editing, and its darkened image style has been unanimously praised by almost all senior figures in Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

All these drive the Justice League movie universe toward the dark style without regrets.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won't take too long, and "Masha" will surely shock the North American film market again.

At the end of August, "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" officially confirmed the director.

The single-episode production budget is $5 million, and the total budget for the first quarter is $60 million. This huge investment determines that Ronan cannot start a newcomer.

After Caa's recommendation, Ronan carefully considered it and chose David Nat as the director.

This person doesn't seem to be famous but is well-known in the TV series production industry. He has directed many successful American dramas such as "Brothers" and "X Archives".

As for actors, the first thing to be confirmed was Peter Dinlaki. Shahai Entertainment signed a long-term contract with him, including movies and TV series.

Hollywood has never lacked actors, but types like Peter Dinlaki are definitely rare resources.

A dwarf with outstanding acting skills is not that easy to find even in Hollywood.

Peter Dinlaki will play the little demon Tyrion Lannister in the series.

This dwarf who shot his dad on the toilet was once one of the most outstanding characters in the early stage of the plot.

A line from the little devil once impressed Ronan very deeply.

"Duke Tywin Lannister did not pull out gold until his death."

Sean Bin, who has played Boromire, plays Ed Stark, a male actor who is always ruthlessly killed by various means in the movie, will be cut off again.
