Chapter 1032: Go hand in hand

　　 The big sales of the two movies in June are undoubtedly good news for Relativity Entertainment, especially "Teddy Bear", which is a surprise in the eyes of many people.
The protagonist James Franco, a weird guy who is determined to take the route, and Seth Rogen, who has cooperated with Shahai Entertainment several times, launched a new project, and wanted to adapt the famous TV series "Dragon" in the 1980s. "Tiger Boys" was filmed into a comedy movie.
　　 Their two plans were directed by Seth Rogen, and then Seth Rogen and James Franco co-starred.
　　 "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" had a lot of fame back then, and it was also a famous work by Johnny Depp.
　　 The project plan was quickly transferred to Ronan’s office. Ronan was very optimistic about Seth Rogen and James Franco.
　　 Not to mention past memories, in recent years, Seth Rogen and James Franco have cooperated with Sandsea Entertainment and have achieved good commercial results in comedy movies.
　　 But this project has one of the biggest problems. As an old work, "Dragon Tiger Boys" definitely involves copyright issues.
　　 Ronan asked Connie to check that the copyright of "Dragon Tiger Boys" is currently in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. If this project is to be established, the copyright issue must first be resolved.
　　Sony Columbia Pictures is considered to have a relatively good relationship among the six major Hollywood entertainment companies, and there is some hope of getting the copyright.
　　 Ronan called Robert Lee and asked him to negotiate with James Franco and Seth Rogen to try to buy the adaptation rights from Sony Columbia Pictures.
　　 If it doesn’t work, just recreate the script, but this is the last option.
　　 has the copyright, it is "Dragon and Tiger Boys", which is an adaptation of the popular drama of the year, and naturally has an audience base.
　　 If there is no copyright, it is an original work.
　　 Like the "Batman" movie series, it was jointly invested and filmed with Sony Columbia Pictures, and Relativity Entertainment is also acceptable.
　　 At the beginning of this month, Relativity Entertainment reached an agreement with Warner Bros. to obtain the remake copyrights of "Cry of the Clown" and "A Star Is Born", and the film and television adaptation copyrights of "Suicide Squad".
　　 Now that the copyright is available, it must not be wasted.
　　 "Suicide Squad" and "The Birth of a Star" don't worry, it's not too late to wait a few years to prepare.
　　 As a typical horror film "Cry Clown", you can start planning now.
The original film of 　　 is Stephen King’s novel, which was bought out by Warner Bros. as early as the end of the eighties. It was filmed by Tommy Lee Wallace in 1991.
The novel is basically the same as the main line of the movie. It tells the strange appearance of an odd person who looks like a clown in a small American town. His appearance is not to bring joy to people, but to terrorize the children everywhere, even bringing them terrible bad luck or causing death. The protagonists defeated the clowns, but after many years, the evil clowns reappeared in the small town to harm the world. The grown-up friends need to work together to fight the evil.
　　 This movie is different from the one Ronan has seen in his memory. It tells the story of the protagonists fighting against the scary clowns from teenagers to adulthood.
　　 The one that Ronan watched was over when the friends defeated the clown in their youth, and the subsequent adult content was divided into a sequel.
　　 This may make the content of the two films more substantial.
　　 The key point is that if both films can be successful, the commercial benefits will far exceed one.
　　 Therefore, Ronan did not hesitate to get the plan quickly, and then transferred to the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment to further create the script and perfect the plan.
　　 "Cry Clown" will shoot at least two parts. If it succeeds in succession and the market responds well, it is not impossible to have a trilogy.
　　 Of course, if this film is to be successful, the sentiment card must also be played well.
　　'S first movie was so popular, to a large extent, it was also because of the feelings that this bowl of rice was too delicious for a considerable number of viewers.
Ronan originally planned to find Wen Ziren as the producer. After all, he is the best director and producer of horror films within Relativity Entertainment, but Wen Ziren is preparing to shoot "The Soul" and also take care of the "Saw Horror" series. I can't cope with the time and energy.
　　 At present, the "horror movie universe" that Wen Ziren is responsible for is advancing step by step. "Latent" will be released by Embassy Pictures in the second half of the year, and "The Soul" has also set the schedule for next year.
　　 In addition, the "Annabelle" project has also been confirmed, and the script is completed by Wen Ziren.
　　 But it is impossible for Wen Ziren to be the director of all the films of the "horror movie universe". He will also serve as a producer on the "Annabelle" project and then recruit suitable horror directors.
　　 Wen Ziren and Luo Nangou passed. After watching the finished screening of "Zombie Paradise", he intended that the director of this zombie film Drew Gundam would direct "Annabel".
　　 Ronan did not interfere too much, and agreed with Drew Gundam as a candidate.
　　Although Drew Gundam's "Zombieland" has not yet been released, it has received unanimous praise in the internal screenings and screenings. It can be said that the shooting has produced a masterpiece of the zombie type.
　　 Drew Gundam is also willing to continue to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment.
Promoted by Ronan himself, the preliminary work of "Cry Cry Clown" is progressing extremely fast. This kind of horror film does not require star actors, does not require much production, and the remake copyright obtained from Warner Bros. also has sufficient rights to adapt, and does not require Deal with Stephen King.
　　 Stephen King is indeed a in the minds of many horror film lovers, but no company likes to invite a back to its crew.
　　 The adaptation project team does not need to deal with Stephen King at all.
　　 Shahai Entertainment has made a preliminary plan. "The Clown" will be in charge of Doug Davis, the deputy director of the production department, and the director needs to be recruited.
　　 The project budget is not high, and only US$20 million has been allocated for the time being.
　　 At the same time, Jeremy Abrams’s new project has entered the filming stage, and the crew officially launched in New York this week.
　　 As the most destroyed city in the world, New York will once again be devastated in science fiction movies.
　　 Affected by the success of "District Nine", Jeff Abrams will also be filmed in a pseudo-documentary DV method.
　　The difference is that Jeff Abrams intends to use the first perspective.
　　 This film, which has been named "The Clover Archives", will be released next year.
　　 The success of "District Nine" also strengthened Jeremy Abrams' confidence.
　　 From April to late June, after ten weeks of screenings, the theater life of "District Nine" has come to an end.
　　This type of film uses exaggerated marketing to attract audiences into the theater. The production itself is relatively rough, and it is difficult to guarantee long-term screening. It is a typical film that just runs away.
　　 The reputation of the initial hype dropped a lot after a long time of screenings. For example, IMDB dropped below eight points.
　　 Fortunately, in terms of business, it has reached the expectations of Relativistic Entertainment. Although it is far less than "Blair the Witch", which is also a model of viral marketing, the income of the film can still be described as amazing relative to investment.
　　 "The Ninth District" received $115.66 million in the box office in North America during the ten-week screening time, achieving the achievement of four times the production cost of the North American box office.
　　Single the North American box office is divided into one item, Relativity Entertainment not only recovered all the investment in the "Ninth District", but also realized nearly tens of millions of dollars in profits.
　　 On the overseas side, the response of "The Ninth District" has been much poorer. It is currently entering overseas markets one after another, and the total overseas box office is less than 30 million US dollars.
　　 such a medium-to-low investment movie, can have such commercial results, it is already considered commendable.
　　No one can compare science fiction movies of this type and investment with first-line commercial productions.
　　 The last weekend of June arrives. Faced with the newly released Sony Columbia Pictures animated feature film "Surfing Penguin", many films under Relativity Entertainment still maintain a relatively stable box office trend.
"Teddy Bear" is not like most comedies. It maintains an unusually stable box office trend. The box office fell by only a little more than 40% the following weekend, and it received another $33.56 million in North America. The cumulative total has reached US$126.87 million.
　　 For low- and medium-cost R-rated comedies, this is too good to have a good box office performance.
　　 The box office trend of "Cars" is not as stable as the past Pixar studio's animated feature film ~EbookFREE.me~ but the North American box office revenue is also close to 200 million US dollars.
　　 Peripheral income is even more amazing, North American peripheral derivatives plus various licenses, Relativity Entertainment’s income has reached 200 million US dollars.
　　 And for a long time in the future, peripherals and copyrights will bring far and constant high income to Relativity Entertainment.
　　 It took Disney only a few short years to obtain billions of dollars in revenue through the omni-channel operation of Cars.
　　Relativistic Entertainment, although there is still a gap compared with the previous Disney animation peripheral operations, it can still achieve huge profits.
　　 Another film "The Hulk" released by Embassy Pictures in the summer file, the North American box office is slowly moving towards 250 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 400 million US dollars.
　　 With this big investment and big production, Relativity Entertainment is not difficult to pay back through online and offline operations.
　　 Next month, Relativity Entertainment will still have two films released, namely "Transformers" on the schedule of Independence Day and the latest animated feature film "Kung Fu Panda" by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.
　　 The latter continues the usual style of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, the production cost is not high, only 75 million US dollars.
　　 "Transformers" is the first-line key movie project with high investment in Relativity Entertainment.
　　 However, the various advertisements and sponsors flooded in the film have brought nearly 40 million US dollars in revenue to Relativity Entertainment. .
　　 Never doubt Michael Bay’s ability to plant ads.
　　 Near the end of July, Embassy Pictures began to prepare for the final release of "Transformers".
