Anyway, the goal is just an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film.
The core of this film determines that it cannot be as dazzling in the North American market as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Cultural differences are not to say, they are real.
Throughout mid-December, Ronan was busy with several key films.
Paul Greengrass completed all the post-production and editing of "The Bournemouth 2" and officially submitted the samples to his producer. Ronan gathered the embassy film industry and the executives of Shahai Entertainment after watching them, unanimously approved Edited version by Paul Greengrass.
As long as there are no problems with paa's rating review, this is the final release.
The film’s release time has also been determined. The Embassy Pictures originally decided on the Memorial Day holiday at the end of May, but Disney Pictures has already taken the lead, and "Finding Nemo" will be released at this time.
The two masterpieces collided directly together, and they would only break the blood. The schedule of "The Bournemouth 2" could only be advanced, and it was selected on the second weekend of May.
The only film that really started painting on a scale of the same weekend was Sony Columbia Pictures’ "Daddy Rangers", which is only a third-line project of Columbia Pictures, and there are not many competitors in front of "The Bournemouth 2".
Sony Entertainment itself does not pay particular attention to this film.
However, the North American summer holidays have always been crowded. Naturally, the weekends before and after are all top Hollywood productions.
The beginning of the summer vacation seems to start with "Spider-Man" and gradually become the exclusive premiere schedule for Marvel superhero movies. On the first weekend of May, "X-Men 2" produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox was released. , "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" produced and released by Warner Bros. premiered on the third weekend.
There are also major productions such as "Fake God", "Finding Nemo" and "Terminator".
The year 200 will be not only the movie year of Relativity Entertainment, but also the movie year of Hollywood.
Let alone the sequel movies and small productions of Relativity Entertainment, three movies with an investment of more than US$50 million will be released.
In addition to "The Bournemouth 2", there are "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Rivals of the People".
The post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has entered the final stage, and the North American release schedule is placed on the weekend after the Independence Day holiday.
In fact, the schedule also shows that the distribution business of Embassy Pictures cannot compete with the six major companies.
There is internal tacit understanding and coordination among the six major companies’ issuance businesses. The best schedules, such as the first weekend of the summer file, President’s Day holiday, Memorial Day holiday and Independence Day holiday, etc., are basically early It was divided up by the six major companies.
Check the annual North American screening schedule, these best schedules are basically occupied by the big productions of the six major companies.
If you don’t want to run into a bloodshed with the big six companies’ commercial productions, you can only find a suitable premiere time from other schedules.
This Independence Day schedule has already squeezed into several well-known films such as "Terminator", "Stealing the Day" and "Pretty Woman 2". It can be said to be very crowded. There is no need for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to break with these films. battle.
In contrast, on the weekend after Independence Day, only a film such as "Attack from Heaven" was released on a large scale, which is a very good schedule.
Ronan has already watched the trailer for this movie, which is a movie similar to the Avengers. The hero is Sean Connery, who is about to bid farewell to the film industry.
It is said that this vulgar, violent, arrogant and rude veteran actor who is famous in the circle, after selling the gentleman's set for decades, it is difficult to exit decently in the end.
Although there was no such thing as selling people in that era, Sean Connery can be said to be one of the most successful Hollywood stars in selling people.
The most important thing is that even after retirement, Sean Connery's personality did not collapse.
Another major production released by Embassy Pictures is "Rivals of the People" starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron.
Of course, for Relativity Entertainment, the $60 million production cost is an out-and-out big production, but in today's Hollywood, it can only be regarded as a medium-to-upper-scale film at best.
In this era, the threshold of Hollywood's first-line production has risen to 100 million US dollars.
Without spending 100 million dollars, I am embarrassed to say that I am a big production.
"Rivals of the People" has just started filming, and the release time is scheduled for the holiday file after November. Will Smith has a huge appeal and is the biggest support for the film.
As for Charlize Theron, the box office appeal can basically be ignored.
Then there are those sequel movies and small productions. "Human Removal Project", "Fatal Turn 2", "Underworld 2", "Dungeon Siege" and other films will also be released next year.
In addition, Wen Ziren's "Chain Saw Fright" is also making preliminary preparations, and we will set a schedule based on his shooting situation.
Currently Wen Ziren and Ray Warner are still revising the script. According to Wen Ziren, it only takes three months to complete the filming and post-production of the film.
Ronan vaguely remembered that "Saw Fright" seemed to have only been filmed for more than ten days.
The scene of this film is very simple, at best, it is more complicated than a bunch of people sitting together and listening to people bragging.
Having said that, the first part of "Chain Saw" is a real classic, especially the moment Tobin Bell stood up, stunned countless people.
Relativity entertainment is developing step by step.
In the past few days, business conditions related to the company have been continuously fed back to Ronan.
In addition to the movie project, the "Grey Intern" broadcast on ab TV ended its first round of broadcasting. The first season of the show has been broadcast all the way up, and the total audience of the last episode of the first season is close to 20 million.
ab TV station has officially issued an order for the second season to Shahai Entertainment.
The copyright for the second round of the show soared to $5 million.
And after the second round of airing, the DVD of "Grey Intern" will be released in full, and Netflix will get the exclusive network rights.
Relativity Entertainment's film and television production and publicity business provides an excellent platform for Netflix.
In the second quarter of 2002, Netflix achieved a turnaround for the quarter. Although the profit was less than US$2 million, it was a good start.
By the third quarter, the quarterly profit had almost doubled, reaching nearly $4 million.
Although the statistics for the fourth quarter have not yet been released, it is not inevitable that profit figures will rise again.
Even if there was a huge loss in the first quarter, Netflix's annual performance is very promising to achieve profitability.
Now that the DVD industry is developing rapidly, and the Internet industry is gradually recovering from the blow in 2000, Netflix's business is promising.
In addition to the film and television project, there is another news to Ronan. Bell Grylls led his team into the Atlantic Ocean. He has already left the British waters and challenged the rubber boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the traditional winter. It takes courage.
It can only be said that Bell is very adventurous.
It is a pity that he is not the first person to cross the Atlantic and has not attracted much attention.
Before Christmas came, Ronan made a special trip to New York. First, he met with Lindsay Bill and asked about the results of her personal interview. Second, let’s take a look at the filming of the "Rival of the People" crew. -Smith's class.
New York, Central Park, filming has just ended.
"Here, Will." Ronan beckoned to Will Smith, waiting for Will Smith, who had removed his makeup, to come over and said, "How does it feel to be a romantic comedy?"
Will Smith shrugged: "Not bad, much easier than calling."
Ronan turned and walked towards the river, and said as he walked, "I can see that you are enjoying it."
Will Smith said: "It's okay." He suddenly asked: "Ronan, this film is a realistic theme. Can I apply for an Oscar?"
"It's difficult." Ronan told the truth: "Don't forget, this is a comedy."
Will Smith sighed: "That's right, those people like to see people crying, not much like watching people laugh."
Ronan asked, "You haven't given up on Oscar?"
Will Smith said: "Oscar is also one of the pursuits of actors~EbookFREE.me~ Although I am taking the commercial route, I also want to try an Oscar." He added: "Tom also, this I've been in Austria for two years."
"I have a project in my hands, realistic." Ronan thought of Chris Gardner's life history, who had already obtained the right to adapt: ​​"You may be more suitable."
Will Smith looked at Ronan with concern: "Last time I heard you say that you collect copyrights everywhere, is there really something for me?"
Ronan nodded: "Biographical subjects. Will, have you ever heard of Chris Gardner? A black stockbroker, from near the streets to becoming the owner of a public company."
Will Smith was quite surprised: "The real version of the American Dream? Isn't it fake?"
"It's true." Ronan said simply: "The copyright department of Relativity Entertainment has contacted him in detail and conducted verification. Chris Gardner's history is more legendary than the movie, and it is definitely very suitable for film adaptation. theme."
Hearing this, Will Smith's heart moved. In recent years, he has had a lot of friendship with Ronan. Naturally, he knows that Ronan's projects are very reliable, and the biographical films are simply made for Oscars.
The American dream, although it is just a dream most of the time, does not prevent it from becoming the type that Oscar judges like.
Will Smith was not polite with Ronan, and asked directly: "Do you have a script?"
Ronan shook his head slightly: "The adaptation hasn't started yet. When you return to Los Angeles after shooting this film, you can first look at Chris Gardner's information."
"Okay," Will Smith said.
Ronan came to the periphery of the crew and walked back, and ran into Charlize Theron and another person head-on.
