"Oh ho--"
Snow flakes scattered in the sky. The vast Park City Deer Valley Ski Resort is full of white awns. From the sky, I saw a pile of snow-covered pine trees still green. The wilderness snowfields and ski trails everywhere There are some fully equipped tourists who enjoy skiing.
"OK! READY!" On the white mountain slopes, Wang Yang, Joshua, Harry George, Alexis, and others all propped up the ski poles in their hands, and the snowboards were forced to move forward, and everyone rushed towards the ground. The end of the mountain rushed!
The ski resort Park City is hosting the annual 22nd Sundance Film Festival, where "Waterfall Dog", "Crazy Shop Assistant", "Memory Fragment", "Death Illusion" ... Last year, the production cost was only The 2.8 million "Streaming Stream" not only received 23.56 million worldwide box office, but also 82% freshness awards Qi Qibing. Producer MTV film and distributor Paramount Classic are quite enviable.
A total of 120 films entered the film festival this year, from 19th to 29th for a period of 10 days. The opening movie is "Old Friends Have Money" starring Jennifer Aniston. This love film with a production cost of 6.5 million yuan is made up of solitary The producer "This is the producer of s-Is-That-ns" was launched. Since it was widely praised after the premiere, it is the same as "Leading Dog" which has been scheduled as the closing movie, and Films such as "Singing Man Ceremony" and "The Unforgettable Truth" have become popular in Park City this year.
Today, Sundance will naturally not lack filmmakers, celebrities, media reporters and other people. Sony Classic, Fox Searchlight, Universal, Lions Gate, Weinstein ... including the flame movie, it has not come to show off anything. Meaning, it is clear that although the participating "Kiss on the Sea" can't take on this important task, FF came to seek treasure, and is looking for the kind of film that can be encountered but not requested, and this year seems to be a big year. The opportunity is coming.
"Hey fat guy, you are sliding too slowly! Galileo is right. When the object falls, the weight and speed are not proportional! He is wrong again! Because I will be faster!" On the snowy hillside, first fell on purpose Afterwards, Wang Yang, who was later in power, shouted at the penultimate Harry-George, raised a ski pole and surpassed him, leaving a string of haha laughter: "Ha ha ha ha-"
"Will see you later ... Yang." Looking at the flirtatious back wearing the red ski suit, the big fat man shook his head helplessly, who made him always not good at playing sports? It's so difficult to lose three pounds. Harry continued to carefully control the center of gravity of the body, sliding the snowboard slowly, how could Yang slide so fast? He can all participate in the Olympic Games ...
Wang Yang came to attend both the film festival and the holiday. He called Joshua and other friends to enjoy this skiing weekend together. Jessica did n’t come because he wanted to take care of Ke Ke. After all, this is a plateau. The weather is cold, and it would be bad if the baby gets sick from a cold, although Ke Ke does cold training.
"Oh hoh--" Suddenly he heard a shout from behind, Joshua knew that Yang was catching up! He suddenly bent his knees more and lowered his center of gravity forward. He couldn't help supporting the ski poles one after another. How could he! I knew that Yang Mingming was a ski master, and it would n’t be the last one! He wanted to tease everyone, what a shame! "Oh!" Suddenly the center of gravity was not controlled. Joshua wanted to slow down sideways, but he rolled in the snow and hit a pine tree before stopping.
Wang Yang screamed, and the two boards stopped in parallel, and slid up and asked, "Are you okay? Brother?" Joshua raised his head and spouted a sip of snow. Wang Yang observed him for a few moments. Haha laughed, all right! As he started, he laughed and shouted: "The book, I know that the snow is free, but don't eat too much! It's no good! Maybe someone urinates there ..."
"No !?" Looking at the distant figure, Joshua took a deep breath, slowly turned her head to look at the snowy ground, and then looked up at the big pine tree in front of her. "Poof--" Soon Zakari Levi also had Shirayuki and looked helplessly away at Wang Yang, who was not a rookie when he shot "High School Musical".
Anne Darren is currently at the top of the ski competition. She is not an ordinary tourist. Her independent love film "Flannel Pajamas" starring in her participated in this year's drama competition unit. At this time, Wang Yang chased up and went in parallel with her. Annie Lu smiled and said hello: "Director!"
"Hey, Annie!" Wang Yang turned to look at this freckled woman. She was wearing a white plush hat and long hair on her back. The face with faint freckles was no longer youthful and tender, but With a mature style like a big sister next door, it makes people feel very soft and comfortable, he smiled and said: "You are awesome! Others don't know, I thought you grew up in Utah." Nebras Plus girl Anne smiled: "I'm not, maybe just ... a little talent."
Listening to her soft laughter, Wang Yang also laughed: "Then my talent is higher than you." He didn't speed away from her, and laughed again: "We haven't been chatting for a long time, you know , We should come out more and have fun. "
Although he didn't say "JUST-U-AND-ME", his sentence was still a bit ambiguous. Maybe someone would think it was a hint, but Anne knew that he had no other meaning, never, he just regarded her as a good friend, Only then did she smile so hard: "Yes, I haven't congratulated you on getting the Golden Globe Award for Best Director yet." Wang Yang wondered: "Please, don't you say 'Congratulations?' How is it? "Anne, who was teased, just smiled blindly:" I don't know, a greeting card? Oh no no ... "She naturally thought of" 500 Days with Shamo "and was amused by herself:" No, no. "
"Haha!" Wang Yang smiled and looked forward, and gradually bent to speed up his preparations and asked, "So is your movie" Flannel Pajamas "premiering tomorrow?" Annie replied: "Yes. "Wang Yang shouted the pole and shouted," Take us to see tomorrow! See you later, girl! "
Wang Yang would like to see Anne's performance now, want to know what level and level she has reached, and watching "Flannel Pajamas" is a good opportunity. For Anne Darren, Wang Yang knows that he has some different feelings in his heart. This girl is a little bit "want to be a Jackie Chan" mentality because he insists on being famous because of him. Opportunities for cooperation, but Anne is not lacking in the main supporting role, and actively participates in the performance of independent films, keeping a low-key and simple life, not lost in the hard-won flash, very upset.
Soon after, there will be opportunities for cooperation. It ’s not
I Am Biography
. In the second half of the script adapted from Mark Plutosevich and Aziva Gosman, female characters were added for commercial considerations, but he I don't plan to do that. The whole film is only Robert Neville, and the others are zombies.
"Oh ah ---" The gusty wind whizzed past his ears, the snowflakes hit the face cold and cold, Wang Yang didn't think much, and continued to chase Alexis in front at full speed: "Ah ---" If you look from the sky, you see a red dot quickly approaching the blue dot, and then parallel and go in for a while, the red dot exceeds.
"What's the action of the flame movie?" Park City is already in a state of rumors. Which movie is better? Should I buy copyright or buy distribution rights with dividends? Distributors had a lot of discussions, and the senior executives of various public companies gathered together like gossips to talk about gossip. Sony Classic is about to win "Old Friends Have Money", Universal Pictures has already negotiated "Leading Dog", Mi Lamax competes for "Midnight Listener" ... The most noticed is the "miracle wholesaler" flame movie!
It bought "Crash" at the Toronto Film Festival, it bought "Memory Fragment" and "The Illusion of Death" at Sundance, and even the producer Newmarket was annexed ... This year's 22nd Sundance, Flame Which miracle is ready for birth again?
"Flame seems to be very interested in" Sunshine Little Beautiful Girl ", they are asking about the price.", "Some plain films, who's idea?", "I heard that Wang Yang has not yet watched" Sunshine Little " "Pretty girl", he has been skiing these days, he also said that he came to vacation, no opinion. "," Do you believe it? No matter who's idea, we want to put "Sunshine Little Girl" Buy it! "," "Flannel Pajamas" theater found the magic Yang! "," He said the movie is very cool! "," Flame asked the Magician again! "," Flame hit "Midnight" Audience "!", "Flame shot at" Boots! "...
For a time, the target of the flame film almost included the entire premiere unit and drama competition unit, as well as several documentaries such as "The Truth That Can Not Be Ignored". Which one is it?
"Sunshine Little Girl" is indeed the object of the flame movie at a glance, the level has reached the highest SSS level, buy it! Must buy!
The film tells a dream-seeking story. 7-year-old Olive has a weird and crazy family. Dad is a lecturer who sells successful courses and sells his "Nine Steps to Success" everywhere. Brother Ge worships Nietzsche. In order to be admitted to the Flight Academy, the autistic patient made a dumb oath and did not speak to his family for nine months; the uncle of the same was a complete loser, dumped, unemployed, and attempted to kill himself ... Grandpa was driven out of a nursing home An old hooligan, full of swearing and drug addiction; and Oliver himself has been dreaming of becoming famous overnight, and he firmly believes that he will be elected as a little American sister one day; his mother is probably the only normal person if there are no symptoms of menopause.
With the support of these freak family members, Olive participated in a beauty contest called "Sunshine Little Girl". The family drove a broken van into a collective dream journey.
Several development track highlights can explain to a certain extent how much embarrassment this 8-million-dollar R-level family road film comedy has experienced before. 1: 2000, Michael Arente wrote the first draft of the script. The filmmakers Ron Yeksa and Albert Berger have intentional actions and cannot make it due to financial problems. 2: In 2001, producer Mark Tetotu bought the adaptation rights of the script at a price of 250,000 yuan, looking for a focus on film investment. 3: Focus on thinking for a while, I have never been able to make a decision to invest in the film because the script is too plain. 4: In 2004, Mark Tetotu spent 400,000 to redeem it from the focus. 5: The 8 million production costs are jointly invested by four independent producers: na-de-ns, g-h-lms, rd-Gear-ns-, and Deep-ver-ns.
Despite this, although this is the screen female work of the couple directors Jonathan Dayton and Villelie Faris, but now, "The Sunshine Beauty" has become a big sweet in Park City. , Not only because its film shows a potential that cannot be ignored, the flame seems to be very interested in it.
"It has a lot of qualities of success." Mark Srant, Chris Bauer and others think that it is quite extraordinary, Wang Yang also thinks so, he likes its characters, stories, themes, temperament, very Interesting, very touching, and very touching, and he knows more about its potential.
"Old Friends Rich", which was originally purchased by Sony Classic, received 13.36 million North American box office / 18.24 million global box office, three indicators of rotten tomatoes 71% / 70% / 37%; "Leading Dog" 15.3 million / At the box office of 32.14 million, the three indicators of rotten tomatoes were 54% / 56% / 68%; the "Midnight Listener" purchased by Miramax had a box office of 7.83 million / 106.3 million, and the three indicators of rotten tomatoes were 40% / 30% / 36% ...
They either have good results, or in the end they are a loss-making business. What about "Sunshine Little Girl"? It was originally bought by Fox Searchlight at a price of 10.5 million, which set a new record for Sundance's transaction price, and it was accompanied by a bonus clause of 10% of all total revenue. It did not disappoint the Fox searchlights, on the contrary it was a huge surprise, 59⑧90,000 / 100 million box office, Rotten Tomatoes three indicators 91% / ⑧9% / 90%, 2007 Oscar best film (nominated), best supporting actress (nominated) , Best Supporting Actor.
How many Sundance movies did this show? Anyway, many, many sessions. Since Wang Yang knows its huge potential, the flame will not operate as conservatively as the X searchlight. It must be known that there are only 1602 theaters when it is shown at its widest screen (released on July 21st, and the widest at September 6th in the sixth week), he I believe in increasing publicity efforts, adjusting the schedule to around the November-March award season, and staying patient, just like the operating mode of "Broken Mountain", then North America's box office is more than 80 million, even breaking 100 million.
"Sunshine Little Beauty" will also be the core player of Flame Shock's 2006-07 award season. At that time, with the emphasis and heavy money on the promotion of the publicity, it can completely get more nominations for awards. Rather than being nominated for one of the best heroines in the music / comedy category, the Oscar is more like a jackpot.
Higher box office, more nominations! The premise is that Flame Movies bought it.
Although "Sunshine Little Beauty Girl" is now sweet, but if no flame movie is added, X searchlight has already bought it. In fact, the record high of 10 million seems to be scary. In fact, minus the production fee, it is only 2 million profit. Compared with the 6.5 million system fee / 20 million purchase fee, the "crash" is a trivial matter. , 10% of the total income dividend is also like a blank cheque, but it still scared Mark Tetotu like this, he was tortured by the focus for a full four years! Then the whole production process of "Sunshine Little Beauty" is uninterested, now ...
"SSS level." Maybe the X searchlight is positioned at 30 million box office, and maybe other filmmakers are moving, but Wang Yang knows that the determination of the flame is unstoppable, whether it is all bought out or with dividends, regardless of 15 million. , 20 million, 30 million, come on!
Flame ’s ability to issue and operate is not lost to the Fox searchlight. At this time, it is the price, sincerity and promise that are the winners and losers. These negotiations and competitions are all operated by Mark Srant and others. Everyone feels that there is no critical moment. The glorious chairman is still a good holiday.
In addition to "Sunshine Little Girl", the flame movie also has a must-buy real goal, the PG-13 level fantasy drama "Magic".
This is director Neil Borg ’s second film since the pseudo-documentary "Kennedy Assassination Certificate" (2002) by the screen director. It is composed of Edward Norton, Jessica Bell, Paul Giamatti and others Starring, 5 small producers including Bullseye Films, B-Movies, and Michael London Films jointly invested $ 16.5 million. It is worth mentioning that the "leader brother" Bullseye and b- are the production of "Crash" Film companies.
In contrast, "Magic" does not have so many legendary stories, this is just a normal production investment, but the 16.5 million production cost also shows the confidence and sharpness of the producer, after all, the bullseye and b -Earlier made a lot of money from the flames, in fact, everyone understands that they came to Park City not to find people to buy high prices, who will pay 20 million or more to buy an independent film? However, "Magic" needs a cinema publisher, if no one is interested, they can only try to release it with their own daring, although there is no publishing experience for Bullseye and temporarily.
But the world is so bizarre, the flame movie is interested, and it is the interest of buying at a high price!
"SSS level." Why not? Wang Yang is very clear about the potential of this film. Originally, it really failed to find a satisfactory distributor. B- released "Magic" by the brand-name film group (-LM-UP). There were only 51 in the first week. In the case of the theater (opening on August 18) and the widest 1,438 (week 5), "Magic" finally received 3⑨86 million North America / 87⑧90,000 global box office, and the rotten tomato three indicators 74% / 87% / 83% .
In this way, the founder Bob Yaryi was even more ambitious. In 2007, he successively released a large number of four films "New Street Dance", "Reorganization", "Final Season", "Perfect Christmas", UU reading www.uukanshu.com received the notoriety of a "starter", but four consecutive defeats made the success of "Magic" disappear, and the public company filed for bankruptcy in December 20О8.
Wang Yang thinks that the relationship between Flame and Harmony can be like that of Newmarket. If "Magic" is released by Flame, he can hardly estimate what will happen at the box office. You have to know that nearly 90 million have been operated, and the Flame movie ... … It is certain that the global break of 100 million.
More importantly, by putting the "Magician" under its umbrella, Flame can add it to the "Lethal Magic" released at the end of the year to carry out some related publicity, as well as the sale and rental of the film later. Some bundles that benefit both, the "Magic Night Weekend Package" is simply perfect.
"Sunshine little beautiful girl" + "Magic"! This is a secret mission given by Wang Yang to the flame people. Other films can't care, these two must be won!
"Which movie did Fantastic Young watch?" Park City was shrouded in mist, and Lion Gate Jon Filtim also wanted to find out some news, so he dialed that number and laughed: " Hi, Young, it ’s me, Jon! Are you in Park City? Which movie did you watch? Oh, really, just come to ski? Haha, no, I ’m still fit for golf, just old. You have Have you seen any movies? ... "
