"Life? Don't talk to me about life!" On the big screen when early summer came, the melancholic robot Ma Wen made the audience laugh, but it was still downcast: "Don't pretend to want to talk to me, I know you hate me. "A blacksmith desperately defended the city of Jerusalem, and the fat panda Abao found himself:" I am not a fat panda, I am that fat panda! "Under the Empire march, Anakin- Skywalker became a black warrior, and a group of animals dared to Madagascar: "Marty, I know it's you."
"If I die, please take me back to Tranquility Valley!", "Attack to New Shanxi!" The audience will not forget the madness of Midsummer, not the cool Smith couples, but the funny ship of Tranquility. , The group of star-like cowboys who were dead, "I am falling leaves in the wind, see how I fly." It was the pure smiles and joyful laughter of the children, "Where did you come from?" To the same time in "Batman Wartime" , "World War", "Fantastic Four" and other films, and later Charlie Hawk, etc., are all covered up by the light ...
These 2005 summer films have their own response to evaluation, their respective box office and their own destiny. Whether it is annoying flies or favorite butterflies, it has become history.
But if the media and movie fans come to the right list again, the most anticipated, favorite, most popular, highest rated, most memorable ... all must be won by "Firefly".
As in 2004, Flames-lms released three films including "Panda", "Fireflies", and "Assassin's League" this summer, and it has also created three top-notch titles with over 100 million box office titles! After winning 4 of the 18 North American Week championships last year (22.22%), this year it took away 7 golden trophies (38.88%) in one fell swoop, which made Yahoo and other media keep feeling emotional and a super winner!
Flame Movies ★★★★★★★ A weekly box office champion, followed by 20th Century Fox ★★★★, Warner Bros. ★★, Universal Studios ★★, Broadway ★, DreamWorks ★, New Line ★.
This seems to be a big win for an independent film company, because the three companies together accounted for half of the 9-week championship! However, this is actually the victory of the flames.
The news that improper expansion and the debt-laden DreamWorks was acquired by the giant may suddenly appear in tomorrow's newspaper; the new line can be described as extremely sad, and since the "Lord of the Rings" series became a huge success, its ambitions have grown bigger and bigger , But the results are not as good as one year. With regard to the five new films released so far this year, "King's Ransom" has failed, "Monster Mother" has just returned, and "Disguised Geek 2" has a production cost of 84 million / 75.55 million at the global box office. "Shadowless Sword" has a mediocre box office, only "Wedding Proud" has a small scene. Each bad debt has exacerbated its headaches. At the same time, the lawsuits have continued because of the income distribution problem of "The Lord of the Rings". According to this momentum, it has been developing for a few more years. A "" Windspeaker "".
In 1967, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. At that time, Robert Shaye, 27, set up a new line of film. In 1998, the newborn calf was not afraid of dinosaurs. At the age of 18, Wang Yang acquired Ax and reorganized into a flame film. It developed in a nearly crazy manner. So far, this summer has been horrible!
"Panda" 100 million production cost / 229 million North American box office / 356 million overseas box office / 585 million global box office; "Firefly" 200 million production cost / 642 million North American box office / 109 billion overseas box office / 1.733 billion global box office; "Assassin Union" 》 100 million production costs / 114 million North American box office / overseas unreleased.
Without counting the cost of publicity and distribution, FF has swept away $ 2.432 billion globally with a total production cost of 400 million! This does not include the predictable "Assassin League" of 120 million overseas box office. Although 16.4% of the production cost in the box office seems to be inferior to 10.5% last year, FF has a new cartoon series gold mine, a new interstellar pop culture gold mine, and an action comic series gold mine. Who does n’t envy? Who is not jealous?
Due to the role of "Firefly" in promoting ancient Chinese poetry, a lot of film producers sang "This love can't be eliminated, only to frown, but to the heart." The direct words are "! Are-u-ng -Me? "
No one can stop the flame movie! Who wants to stop them, first ask (American Cinema Owners Association) and countless theater owners disagree, if there is no "firefly" rescue work, this will definitely be a difficult summer! FF movies are already synonymous with making money without losing money, and are also synonymous with leading the market. The latest lighthouses are Chinese culture / foreign culture, IMAX technology, adapted non-superhero comics, and even professional media reviews such as "The Hollywood Reporter". Perhaps, in the past few years, which blockbuster said "I am not an IMAX film" is the end of no one watching.
You should know that under the development of the "hangover" series, the small-cost R-level comedy films such as "Wedding Proud" and "Forty-Year-Old Virgin" began to create market miracles in batches, and the box office was repeatedly collected, making the new line , Universal, TV and other corresponding filmmakers smiled. On the other hand, as far back as "Kingdom of the Heavens" and "Brothers Green", the birth of a big and bad movie, it also made heartbroken filmmakers think again, how should the 21st century be the film industry? How can you make money! ! How to shoot a superhero blockbuster movie, how to shoot a popcorn summer movie ...
Is the operating strategy of the high-end theater line + film and television library selling the flame movie really flawless? Now it seems that the huge film and television library keeps the daily expenses of the company with more than 600 employees, and a large number of fine new films make a lot of money. Of course, this requires very precise investment eyes, such as new line companies. No one can think of the tragic situation of "Disguised Geek 2". FF doesn't need to go public for financing at all, there is too much cash to spend, but they can continue to stabilize the "step by step" pace, without blindly jumping from the annual production of the film from 10- to 20+, it seems very satisfied with the mini studio Scale.
Next summer, what kind of performance will be scheduled for the four movies "Ice Age 3", "Furious Speed ​​2", "Hangover 3" and "Mamma Mia"?
A year ago, a lot of suspicions haloed over Wang Yang ’s head, Oscar ’s best director ’s curse, office building, only commercials, finished ...
Fantastic BABY defends the name of madness with facts! The summer championship, science fiction film history has countless more classic pictures, and even "Star Wars Episode 3" has been compared; during this period, the magical BABY triggered a media chase, he even appeared on the cover of movies, entertainment and other magazines, including the first Three times in the "Time" weekly. Time is coming into the fall, no one can forget the huge shock brought by the "Firefly Storm" in the summer. The IMDB-P250 list is still as high as 9.4 points, and the three indicators of rotten tomatoes are 95% / 98% 98%.
Film critic Roger Albert, who gave two thumbs up, gave it the highest rating and rarely praised it again and again, writing a film commentary "Wang Yang's real bombshell" in a newspaper column is not enough. The author: "Magic Young's lens has obsessive power", "He finally regarded his Barbie as an adult, and the gorgeous fighting is a hundred times prettier than the famous clothes", "If" Firefly "suffers at Oscar next year The traditional science fiction film treatment, the Golden Sorrel Award is more authoritative than that gold man, "" Japanese film critics are probably the poorest group of people in the world now. "
He also sent blessings when Wang Yang was in a coma: "No Boeing 777 passengers died. Miracle Young has created many miracles and the first time in history, but now he has to converge", "At the age of 25, Stanley -Kubrick's first feature film "Fear and" appeared on the screen, and the ninth part of the movie is amazing. I didn't say that he had a reason to retire. At least 90 films were shot! ", Mentioned in other film reviews. : "Heath Ledger is a wise man and a fool. He appeared in" Fireflies "and he also appeared in" Brothers of Green ".", "Lame-ned", outdated-wheeze ), If "Justice Forward" is a comedy, what is "Firefly"? "...
No one knows what "Firefly" can gain in the major awards of the awards season next year, but what is certain is that it has an overqualification that impacts every award. The posters that will soon arrive will inevitably be printed with the award name: the most Best film, best director, best actor, best supporting actor, best original script, best soundtrack, best photography, best costume design, best editing, best makeup, best original film song, most Best sound effects editing, best sound effects, best visual effects ...
However, the behavior of the magical BABY is often beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. Although it simply broke the questions raised by "The Devil Wearing Prada", he inevitably encountered new questions.
Wang Yang seems to "love the house and Uzbekistan" for Warner Brothers, not only to buy its garbage project "I am Legend", but also to take over the already ill-fated "Batman"; now the eyes of the world are focused on Katrina, but there are still Industry insiders and movie fans noticed that Lin Wei, the "sinner" who had just left Warner Bros. not long ago, entered the flame film production department as a vice president! FF spokesperson Foona Hasson said on the official website: "Dan-n's joining is exciting. He is a puzzle we have been looking for for a long time, which has injected new impetus into the production business of Flame. We all believe that Dan will have Excellent work performance. "
Are-u-ng-Me? Dan Lin messed up two major productions in a row, don't say he was just out of luck! This surprised more people in the industry, especially Dan Lin's old club Warner Bros.! There is a lot of talk about this in the production department. In fact, no one thinks that Dan-Lin lacks the ability, at most lacks the ability to operate the blockbuster. Now that FF wants Lin Wei, WB seems to think of him well. But in Hollywood, middle- and lower-level personnel changes are normal, and senior executives such as vice presidents are not worth the surprise. Dan Lin joined FF, which can only explain that the magical Yang has saved and supported the Chinese forces.
Of course, Warner President Allen-F-Horn called Wang Yang and asked a few words on the topic starting with "Dan is very enthusiastic about his work." Wang Yang admitted frankly that he had learned that Lin Wei had been unhappy in WB and had Exchange, and immediately invite him when he resigns. WB didn't treat Lin Wei, but he was really unlucky ...
"Yang, I heard that you are co-producing" Iron Man "with the new line?" Horn did not care too much about Lin Wei's job change. He was concerned at this stage. After all, Dan's resignation gave them an explanation to the board, regardless of In the future, Dan will not blame them for the harshness of what they have done in FF.
Knowing that he ca n’t hide himself, Wang Yang, who is basking in the garden at home, generously admits to Horn on the phone:
Oh yes, that ’s a new plan for us. Rest assured, Allen! There ’s no conflict between Stark and Wayne. "He smiled:" If everything goes well, we are going to release it in 2007. You know "TDK" is in 2008. "
In April 1990, Universal Pictures purchased the copyright for the big screen shot of "Iron Man" from Marvel Comics, but due to commercial potential and budget issues, this project has been refrigerated until February 1996, Universal simply sold the copyright to 20 Century Fox, Nicholas Cage expressed interest in "Tony Stark" in January 97, followed by Tom Cruise in September 1998 and Quentin Tarantino close to writing in October 1999 The work of the "Iron Man" script ... all abortions ended. In December of that year, 20th Century Fox transferred the copyright of the shooting to the new line of film.
To this day, New Line has written screenplays for it for several years in the past few years. In June 2001, he and José Weyden had the possibility to talk to the director at the helm. Of course, all of them were aborted in the same way.
If "I am a Legend" is a shameless project, every time I write a script and find a good director, I suddenly call CUT before the filming starts; "Iron Man" is a poor project that no one wants to try at all. It changed hands and eventually fell to an independent film company. Originally, with the revival of the superhero movie, "Iron Man" has gradually become more valuable. Despite the experience of the "Blade Warrior" series, the new line of good prospects has no ability to operate such a very risky Project, think about "The Hulk", "Blade Warrior 3", "Black Angel", "Batman Wartime".
Now Marvel Pictures has proposed to repurchase the copyright of "Iron Man", the original new line also tends to change the money back, but the flame movie was killed midway, and proposed that the new line sell the copyright to flame, and then the flame owner invests in The new line's deputy investment plan is naturally indispensable to Marvel Pictures, which has already signed into the shooting contract.
This is almost the only chance to win a popular superhero. Of course, Flame Movies hopes to fully invest independently, but it is impossible. First of all, if you are surprised to recover the copyright, it is not a problem with the big studios to compete for the right to shoot. Okay, FF will probably win by virtue of the "Magic Aura", but now it is surprising that he has to make the film independently, and then find a distributor to cooperate in distribution. How can FF's distribution system be comparable to a large film maker? Another problem is that the new line sees the flames and sees Tony Stark. They have to protect this "Howard Hughes"! Marvel Pictures don't even want to play this genius idea!
Therefore, only the plan of cooperation between the two parties can go to the negotiation table, otherwise, talks are avoided! The consultation between Flame and Xinxian on "Iron Man" has been carried out for nearly half a month, and FF will naturally not disclose the half-point production plan. We will sign the contract first. Although the new line is an independent filmmaker with independent management rights, the founder Robert Shaye still holds the main equity, but it is the same as the Warner Brothers Time Warner Group, the affairs are not related, but the news can communicate, not to mention this matter Rumors appeared.
"That's good." Allen-F-Horn doesn't have much to think about ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As the president of WB, he is concerned about "Dark Knight". Besides, even the group can't stop the decision of the new line, and no one Know how to shoot "Iron Man"? Universal and Fox both gave up directly.
Just after the first weekend of September, the news of Hurricane Katrina still captured the public ’s attention, but fans who were concerned about movie entertainment found that Flame Movies took another trash project and wandered the superhero
Iron Man
for many years! Here the new line reached an agreement with Flame, and Warner Brothers also finally signed a contract with Flame, covering the copyright transfer of "I am Legend", the joint production of "Dark Knight" and some distribution matters. The corresponding rumors were shocking, Wang Yang ’s brain was not really damaged by the ceiling of the cabin?
"Jiang, can you reveal the specific plan now? Who are you going to direct" The Dark Knight "?" Horne's brows and smiles were very bright anyway.
