Chapter 411: Super gold mine!

"Dancing Out My Life 2" won 20.87 million box office (-45.1%) and won the North American Weekly Box Office Championship from September 30th to October 6th. This is the 9th weekly championship trophy taken by Flame Movies this year, accounting for 39. 23% of the number, more than any company; the next DreamWorks animated comedy "Super Invincible Head Dog: The Curse of the Rabbit" won the box office at 21.55 million at the week of October 7-13; the horror released by Colombia The film "Ghost Fog" won the weekly championship on October 14-20 with 14.24 million.
11.12 million (-46.7%) and 4.97 million (-55.3%), the total box office of "Step-Up2" in North America rose to 74.99 million US dollars after four weeks of release. In this low season of the movie market, it is already very impressive to achieve this gratifying achievement. satisfaction.
The progress of the flame movie will not stop, and the production department with a lot of projects is getting busy. Under the recommendation of the company's things and Wang Yang, the two dog films that are scheduled to be released in 2007 have new trends.
The small-cost "Fairy Dog Hachiko Story" invites Todd Leiboman as the first producer. He has played in the previous "Hala Hairdresser" and other dog films released next year, "The Long-haired Dog." And "Antarctic Adventure" are all planned producers, this time it is his first time to take over the executive production affairs; and FF is sending out an invitation to direct the screenwriter to French director Luc-Jacques, and his documentary "Emperor Penguin Diary" released this year The performance is amazing, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is as high as 94%, and the box office in North America has reached 76 million.
But the difference between documentaries, dramas and commercials is huge. He is not a celebrity among Hollywood filmmakers. Of course, Luc Jacques himself is not interested in popcorn. The FF production department believes that Jacques has the first-class ability to handle the relationships and emotions between people, animals, and nature, and has rich experience in animal lenses. It is very suitable for directing "The Story of the Hachiko". Since the commercial is not strong, then will It makes a touching film with a high reputation, and the later sales will make up for the lack of box office, and the performance of the Asian market is worth looking forward to.
However, FF is choosing, and Luc-Jacques is also choosing. His attitude is more emotional, but at present he does not want to postpone the production of a family drama "Fox and Children", so it still needs time to consider.
However, Wang Yang, who has watched 50% freshness of "Fox and Children" in advance, knows a major problem of Luc-Jacques. He is probably used to the rhythm of the documentary. He tells the story very slowly, resulting in a beautiful sky. Cat Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m lens scene, but the narrative structure is out of control, the young Jacques can not master the drama alone. "" Is a grand plan launched by Wang Yang, he will naturally not sit back and watch it mess up, the solution is simple, if Jacques directs & scriptwriters, then the script adaptation work will join another person, responsible for commercial construction and checkpoints; the film When editing later, you need to hire an experienced editor to perform the operation.
The middle-cost "Mali and Me" found Gil Nate as the first producer. The successful film he participated in in recent years is "Pighead, my car?" "," Sniper Phone Booth ", etc .; screenwriters please come to Scott-Frank and Don-Ross, the two will work together to adapt this best-selling novel into a movie script.
Some producers invite producers to produce projects. Naturally, it is more that producers have a good project idea to look for investment from the producers. Recently, for the independent film company that runs its own, "The Lone Movie (K-lms)" Producer Greg Muradian said that suddenly something fantastic happened! The reason is that he is optimistic that a supernatural romantic novel "Twilight" can be put on the big screen. He contacted a number of filmmakers, and the answers he received were almost all: "No value."
This is not surprising. Movies with vampires and werewolves as gimmicks are so many in Hollywood, how many have been successful? Even if you want to make such a story, why spend a lot of money on the right to adapt the novel? Just ask the screenwriter to write one. Besides, there are already "Black Night Legend" series on the market, and a whole movie of the same type is coming out. How many people will watch it?
In fact, "Twilight" was originally a script written by Stephanie Meyer. In April 2004, MTV Movie, a subsidiary of Paraméng, intentionally made it into a movie. However, after the project was shelved, Meyer would The story is written as a novel and published, and there is now a novel manuscript in the office of the production department of Paraméng. But regardless of the script, Greg Muradian feels that "Twilight" is really different. It has a special mí temperament. This is a love story, not an adventure action movie.
It ’s just that the filmmaker does n’t take care of it, and Muradian wants to wait until the sales of
Twilight
are more convincing, and then there will probably be a filmmaker ’s attention. interest of!
In fact, before many novels are published, some filmmakers and producers have been able to read their manuscripts, looking for new materials that can be made into movies. It depends on the connections and influence of the author and publisher. "Twilight" author Stephanie Meyer is just a 32-year-old ordinary full-time homeowner fù, she had no previous writing qualifications, and it is also the reason for the lack of confidence in Paraméng, recently put on the shelf on October 5 The first edition of "Twilight" only had 75,000 copies, and wn-And-pany did not expect it to reach the top of the New York Times bestseller list.
So most of the producers delivered to Muze before the release were Greg-Muradian, and the Flame Film Production Department, which has always followed the bestsellers, also read it, and immediately began to pay attention! So this is not a project recommended by Muradian, but Mayer and wn-And-pany need a producer to communicate with the producer. Muradian is such a middleman.
According to the normal market analysis, what FF got is that the vampire theme of "Twisè" is really lacking in novelty. "Generally accepted widely xìng" in other words is "old-fashioned". The essence of high school students ’love stories lacks grand scenes and profound themes. Obviously, it is not a very attractive project. It seems that it is better to invest money in a youth campus movie; and how popular this novel is is still unknown. Could it be "Harry-bō special"? Don't forget that book selling is not equal to box office selling.
However, Vice President Lin Wei felt that "Twilight" is full of style and other appeals. It cannot be preemptively labeled "old-fashioned" and "no market value" because it is a vampire background, and it has not even read the novel. , Which really describes a love story that can be weeping and crying, which is the element of the big sale. The people who re-examined felt that it was indeed quite good. There is an interesting contrast between the vampire culture and the agitation in adolescence. Perhaps this will attract a large part of the girl audience. May wish to try to adapt it to a production cost of 30 million grades. Of the film, and it works well, with a hope of over 100 million at the box office.
In fact, the ending of the matter is already doomed. In any case, Flame will not despise "Twilight", because UNG-SS's words are: "I love Bella! I love Edward! We must win the copyright of its filming! "Capture Las Vegas" and "The Devil Wears Prada" have been successfully put on the screen by Magic Young. FF's current adaptation of the best-selling project and "Mali and Me", his eyes can not be wrong , The production department that got the order was transferred at high speed.
Today in this world, only Wang Yang knows the horror of "Twilight", not to mention its book sales. How many film associations regret to see the success of its series of movies in the future? Shouting: "God! Why !? Why!?" ...
If Paraméng pays more attention to it, it will never be the turn of Pinnacle Entertainment to make this series. Pinnacle is an independent film company that mainly distributes DVDs for films. It has cooperated with many independent film producers and has occasionally participated in production investment in recent years, such as "American Pie", "Memory Fragment", "Smith Couples", "Green Brothers" and other films All have its figure. When the copyright of the "Twilight" series was purchased in 2007 and spent 37 million yuan to produce "Twilight", the pinnacle was already desperate. If the result of this risk and opportunity is a failure, Its financial statements can be very ugly.
Moreover, Peak's theater distribution ability and experience are not high, so if other independent film companies pay enough attention to it, the production cost of "Twilight" will not be so shabby that it can't even be touched by 50 million files, giving up "Twilight" from MTV movies. "City" started, everything was yin wrong, and then created one business miracle after another.
Although its series of films have not been well-known in the film critic industry, the freshness of the four films is 49%, 28%, 49% and 25%, but its box office is enough to explain everything. The first "2008" "Twilight" 37 billion billion box office in North America billion global box office, the second "New Moon" in 2009 50 billion cost billion, the third "Lunar Eclipse" in 2010 cost 68 million / 100 million ~ EbookFREE.me ~ year "Daybreak costs billions, 2012" Daybreak PART2 ...
Only the first four parts totaled 265 million production costs, and crazyly received 100 million global box office! Various post-sales such as DVDs must also be an amazing number.
If the Flame Film successfully recruited it to its affiliates, it can be said that it is lucky. "Twilight" can not only bring huge profits and funding space for the further development of the group, but also have huge popularity from teenagers. Isn't mí's movie a joy? Now that it is looking for investors, there is no reason for Flame Movies to miss it.
But it also started when the MTV movie gave up this story. Especially now that the novel is selling better and better. Stephanie Meyer is not in a hurry to adapt the film and television. She will not sell the copyright easily and recklessly. The Flame film knows that once the news that they have a lot of interest in "Twisè" leaks out, it is the idea of ​​the production department. But the magical Yang ... will definitely attract the attention of the film producers, and it will especially provoke Pella méng to compete. If so, waiting for FF will be a fierce battle, and it seems that it should not be treated as a baby too?
"No! Don't be afraid of competition, as long as we do well and show the sincerity, respect and determination of the flames, Meyer will choose the flames." Wang Yang said to Mark Srant, Lin Wei and others, everyone is deep Take it for granted. @.
