Chapter 715: Send benefits

Shahai Entertainment not only refrained from publicly revealing the red light for "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory", it also contacted Roland Emmerich and his agent in accordance with Ronan’s intentions, creating an illusion to the outside world , Shahai Entertainment is very interested in this prehistoric film project.
　　
　　Which company used to film and produce this film, Ronan is not clear, but if 20th Century Fox is interested, he is happy to see it.
　　
　　 No matter which of the Big Six companies is willing to invest, it is not a bad thing.
　　
Ronan got some inspiration from "Ten Thousand Years Before History". There was a time when Hollywood invested in major production epic films and did not stop there. From time to time, a first-line major production epic film appeared, indicating that the epic film project was in the six major projects. The company has always had a market there.
　　
　　 Maybe we can release some news in this regard, which can properly divert the attention of 1.6 major companies and consume their resources...
　　
　　 Even if no one cares about it, Relativity Entertainment will not suffer any loss, just spread a little news.
　　
　　 Ronan thought for a while, and soon had a simple plan, immediately called George Clint.
　　
　　 "The news of "Ten Thousand Years Before History" has been passed on to the Fox of the 20th Century."
　　
George Clint introduced the latest developments: "From the feedback, it seems that the 20th Century Fox company is not only interested in this project. Yesterday someone discovered that people from Warner Bros. suddenly came into contact with Roland Emmerich’s agent."
　　
　　 Ronan was curious: "Warner Bros. is also interested?"
　　
　　 "It seems to be." George Clint said: "It is not clear what Warner Bros. specifically talked to with Roland Emmerich's agent, but it must be related to the movie project."
　　
　　 Ronan couldn't help but shook his head secretly. It was obviously a pit dug for 20th Century Fox. Why did Warner Bros. jump in?
　　
　　 If you like it, then come in. Anyway, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. both cooperate and compete, and both sides have dig holes for each other.
　　
As someone who has grown up following Ronan’s step by step development, George Clint has always had confidence in Ronan: "You once said that there are risks in epic film projects, and the company must treat this type with caution. Is there a problem with Year?"
　　
　　 "If you have any questions, you won't know until the movie is released." Ronan said more implicitly: "Roland Emmerich is good at science fiction and disasters, shooting this kind of prehistoric epic..."
　　
　　 He shook his head: "If it is Roland Emmerich plus a disaster film, I will not hesitate to invest in Roland Emmerich, but for epic films, forget it."
　　
　　 Ronan can see this, and many people can see it.
　　
　　 But Roland Emmerich has succeeded one after another, and the aura of successful directors has always been an important basis for production companies to review and judge projects.
　　
　　 If it is an ordinary director plus "Ten Thousand Years Before History", this project is likely to be a situation that no one cares about in Hollywood. It is naturally a different situation to change to a famous director.
　　
　　 In this industry, saying one thousand words and ten thousand words is not as convincing as a successful qualification.
　　
　　 George Clint said at this time: "Roland Emmerich has a great market in Hollywood."
　　
　　 Ronan nodded slowly, thought a little, and said, "George, there are many people staring at Shahai Entertainment, right?"
　　
　　George Clint understands Ronan's meaning: "Our films have been successful one after another. Many companies are staring at us, hoping to projects from us."
　　
He smiled: "But they can grab very little. At present, our film projects are mainly divided into two sources. One is that you provide creativity and we register the copyright of the script; the other is to buy the adaptation copyright first. A very small part of it belongs to our partners. Shahai Entertainment provides them with favorable conditions. They are also willing to continue to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment."
　　
　　 Seeing Ronan's thoughts, George Clint added: "There are actually very few projects delivered to Shahai Entertainment from outside."
　　
　　 Ronan said calmly: "It's not easy for them to stare at us. After such a long time, it's time to give them some benefits."
　　
　　Send benefits? George Clint absolutely does not believe that his boss will give out benefits to his competitors.
　　
　　 is really welfare, it is also toxic welfare.
　　
　　 Ronan is really going to send a wave of welfare, and said: "Find a suitable way to let the news spread. Shahai Entertainment intends to shoot related movies based on Robin Hood's story."
　　
　　 The story of Robin Hood is widely circulated in the English-speaking world and is well-known. Hollywood has made related movies more than once, and George Clint naturally knows this.
　　
　　 Ronan added: "The story of Moses dividing the sea is also good, and Shahai Entertainment intends to shoot a live-action movie based on "Exodus."
　　
A few years ago, DreamWorks Animation Studios filmed a magnificent hand-drawn animated feature film "Prince of Egypt", which was adapted from "Exodus". Although it was not particularly successful commercially, the media was hyped by some special relationships. fiery.
　　
　　George Clint said: "I understand, I will arrange related matters when I go back."
　　
　　 Ronan nodded lightly and said, "This is a classic theme, and it is also a type of Hollywood filming and filming. There is no copyright issue and it should have a certain degree of credibility."
　　
　　 It seems that he has seen more than one big investment "Robin Hood" movie. Ridley Scott has also shot a live-action version of "Exodus", which was played by Christian Bale.
　　
　　Hollywood is keen on these classic themes, but the past results show that the new generation of young audiences are not cold about such movies.
　　
　　 Robin Hood, like King Arthur, later became the unlucky street guy who touched whom.
　　
　　 The stories in the "Bible" seem to be outdated in this fast-food era of online information.
　　
　　 Someone once photographed, maybe someone will be tempted.
　　
　　 No matter whether Robin Hood or Moses divides the sea, there is no copyright issue. Whoever wants to shoot the adaptation is enough. There is no copyright restriction at all.
　　
　　 George Clint left Ronan’s office, returned to Shahai Entertainment, and immediately set about arranging someone to spread the news quietly.
　　
　　 At the same time, Hollywood's awards season officially kicked off.
　　
　　The Gotham Independent Film Awards, which were awarded at the end of November, began in the mid-to-late 1990s and became a sign of the opening ceremony of the awards season.
　　
Although it is the second largest independent film award in the United States after St. Denis, the Gotham Independent Film Awards are not particularly influential. The award season awards are often the more important the more influential awards, and the time when the results are announced The later.
　　
Needless to say, the Oscar awards ceremony and the like, like the Screen Actors Guild and Directors’ Guild Awards, are often behind the Golden Globe Awards.
　　
　　 Strictly speaking, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is also an independent movie. After all, the only investor is Shahai Entertainment.
　　
However, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" only appeared at film festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. It was neither released in North America nor screened on a small scale, and did not have the ability to participate in the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Qualifications.
　　
　　 is not just "When happiness comes knocking on the door", many of Ronan's seed players have not yet participated in the Gotham Independent Film Awards.
　　
　　 Such as Martin Scorsese's "Aviator", Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby", Embassy Pictures has bought out the copyright of "Crash".
　　
　　 These films will not be released or selected until December.
　　
　　 The already released "Soul Singer" was a good start in the awards season. It won the Gotham Independent Film Awards for Best Picture and Best Breakthrough Director, and black actor Jamie Fox received the Best Breakthrough Actor.
　　
　　 Embassy Pictures also gained something, and the already released "Diary of the Emperor Penguin" won the best documentary award.
　　
　　 After several weeks of filming, "Emperor Penguin Diary" expanded to 2,102 theaters the previous weekend, and got 9.89 million US dollars in the box office.
　　
　　 The North American box office totaled 16.33 million US dollars for this documentary.
　　
　　 "Emperor Penguin Diary" is not a film that Embassy Pictures focuses on investing resources. The Gotham Independent Film Awards' Best Documentary Award is also conducive to the impact of the Oscar for best documentary feature.
　　
　　 Compared with the popular awards, the competition for the best feature documentary is much worse. Among the documentaries released this year, the most popular documentary is "Fahrenheit 911".
　　
　　 This documentary has created too many records, such as the highest box office record in North America, the highest box office record in the world, and so on.
　　
　　 But "Fahrenheit 911" is uncompetitive in the award season and Oscars, let alone hit the Oscars for the best documentary. According to the general opinion in the industry, there is no possibility of even getting an Oscar nomination.
　　
　　Of course, there are also awards for "Fahrenheit 911".
　　
　　 It is said that the Golden Raspberry Award is very fond of this film and intends to award the worst actor to the one in the white room.
　　
This year, there have been many bad movies in Hollywood, such as "Catwoman", "King Arthur", "Alexander the Great" and so on, but whether it is Colin Farrell or Ben Affleck, they are both There is no competitiveness.
　　
　　 If nothing else, the worst actor is none other than small.
　　
Hollywood awards season ~EbookFREE.me~ the four most important award winners, if you analyze carefully, there are many upsets, such as Gwyneth Paltrow and "Shakespeare in Love". , But in more cases, the winners are pushed all the way in the award season, and can get 60% or even more than 70% of the award season related awards.
　　
　　 To a certain extent, the wind vane is also more reliable, because the more wind vane awards you get, the higher the exposure.
　　
　　 There are too many judges at the Oscars who don’t watch the film at all. In addition to public relations, they vote based on their familiarity.
　　
　　 Another effective way to increase exposure is of course to spend money.
　　
　　 In Hollywood’s wider audience, "Vanity Fair", "Variety", "Entertainment Weekly", "Empire" and "Hollywood Reporter" and other newspapers and magazines bought advertisements to buy soft articles, abruptly hit the heat.
　　
　　 Awards season, these magazines will be published into takeaway advertisements, each page transaction price can reach six figures.
　　
　　 This is also a season full of business opportunities.
