Chapter 913: Musical genius

The fall of the Oscars ceremony means that another awards season in Hollywood is over. Many companies, including Relativity Entertainment, have begun to prepare for the next awards season.
For example, in the films produced by Shahai Entertainment, the goal of "Infinite Walker" and "Juneo" is the next Oscar.
Not only the shooting of the former is finished, but the post-production is almost finished. The road to awards will start at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.
The latter completely caught up with the Venice Film Festival in August.
Although after the Oscars, many media and conservatives bombarded "Brokeback Mountain", and news of Heath Ledger's public dissatisfaction with Ang Lee appeared in the crew, the five Oscar statuettes, especially the best film and The best director, "Brokeback Mountain" is enough to set off a frenzy of money-making in the global market.
In North America, "Brokeback Mountain" once again expanded the scale of screenings, and the number of theaters once again increased to more than 2,100. The Oscar effect bonus effect was obvious. The weekend box office skyrocketed from US$3.2 million to US$16.88 million.
The North American box office of this film also reached 72.2 million US dollars.
As a long-term literary film, Brokeback Mountain's final North American box office is very hopeful to hit the $100 million mark.
Overseas, the two awards for Best Picture and Best Director of Oscars are the same stars. This weekend, the overseas box office received 32.18 million U.S. dollars, and the total overseas box office also received nearly 60 million U.S. dollars.
Embassy Pictures’ most conservative estimate is that the global box office of Brokeback Mountain will reach $200 million.
Relativity Entertainment’s total investment in this film, including production budget, Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival promotion costs, as well as North American awards season and various publicity expenses, totaled 35 million US dollars.
Among them, more than 12 million U.S. dollars was spent on the promotion and public relations of the North American awards season.
With "Brokeback Mountain" winning the Oscars, the North American box office alone is enough to make Relativity Entertainment recover its investment.
The bonus effect of Oscars is not only box office, but also various offline channels.
The North American first-round TV broadcast rights of "Brokeback Mountain" have been sold for up to 10 million U.S. dollars.
As a literary film, it is commendable to have such a high profit.
Hollywood shoots and produces so many literary films every year, it is rare to have the commercial influence of "Brokeback Mountain".
The social influence of this film, in fact, far exceeds the category of Oscar Best Picture.
While "Brokeback Mountain" gave full play to the Oscar effect, Ronan also received another good news.
On Monday, local time in the United Kingdom, the DVD of "Mamma Mia" went on sale. On that day, the sales volume of 1.7 million copies on the first day set a new record, becoming the "first day of sales of DVDs and video tapes in the UK". champion!
The original record holder is the DVD and video tape of "Titanic". When it hit the shelves in 1998, its first day sales in the UK were 1.1 million.
"Mamma Mia" has over 600,000 copies!
This film adapted from a musical from the West End of the United Kingdom has shown amazing commercial vitality in its homeland.
It's not just DVD, but also the box office.
"Mamma Mia" had a box office of US$96.45 million when it was off the shelf in the UK!
This is enough to rank in the top five in the UK's historical box office rankings!
Even Ronan did not expect that a song and dance film could earn such a high income in an overseas market in the UK.
This also makes Shahai Entertainment pay more attention to another musical project.
John Waters, the director of the cult film, created the splendor of the musical in one hand. Ronan simply handed over the project to him. John Waters was solely responsible for it. Allianz Insurance served as a third-party guarantee and monitored the crew’s finances. situation.
Since the establishment of the project last year, the preparations for John Waters have proceeded in an orderly manner. After discussing with Ronan, he hired Adam Shankman, who has directed "Children and Daughters" and "Brave Daddy" as the director.
Among the main actors that have been identified, the crew recruited John Travolta to play the heroine's mother, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who once played Catwoman, played another important female role.
As for the heroine, it does make the crew difficult, and the right candidate is not easy to find.
A fat young actress who has basic acting skills and excellent singing skills has limited choices.
Shahai Entertainment contacted a number of brokerage companies, but a dozen people chose to recommend it, but none of the performances in the audition satisfied John Waters and director Adam Shankman.
Before the Oscars ceremony, John Waters, with the assistance of Relativity Entertainment, expanded his search to English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
In mid-March, the "Hairspray" crew submitted the final lead actress audition to Ronan. A 17-year-old fat girl from the UK passed three rounds of auditions and defeated more than a dozen competitors and finally got the role.
When Ronan saw the heroine's profile, he felt a little unbelievable.
Because this 17-year-old British fat girl is called Adele Adkins, from Tottenham, London, and is currently studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.
According to the audition video, Adele can be called a genius. During the audition, he sang a song that he wrote when he was 16 years old.
Although the acting skills can only be said to barely pass, they moved John Waters and Adam Shankman with their singing voice.
Ronan looked at the photos on the actor's profile, and then thought about it again, and made sure that this was the Adele who used to be.
Now Adele is still unattended, just a little transparent. He came from the UK to star in a Hollywood movie and was also a suggestion from his parents.
After all, she is studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.
In addition, Adele's classmate and friend Jessica Cornish also passed the cast audition and got a supporting role.
Ronan had seen the girl's information and found it familiar, but he didn't expect to see it when.
However, there are a lot of singing and dancing rehearsals behind the "Hairspray" project, and the filming will not start until June at the earliest. It is difficult to complete all production this year, and the release will be pushed to 2007.
At the same time, the crew of "Hannah Montana" started filming, and Taylor Swift easily defeated all his competitors in an audition competition that was absolutely fair and even more favorable to her, and became this teenage scene song and dance. The heroine of a comedy.
According to Ronan’s latest developments, Taylor Swift also joined the musical composition group of the crew and fully participated in the creation of songs sung by Hannah Montana in the play.
This girl is very good at music creation.
Scott Swift mentioned to Ronan that Taylor Swift recently had a new boyfriend.
Ronan estimates that songwriting is not a problem for Taylor at all.
There is really no inspiration. You can fall in love at any time, and for American teenagers, breaking up in love is as common as eating and drinking.
Having said that, this is also a shortcut to find creative inspiration.
According to Ronan's plan, if "Hannah Montana" has a good response, after a few seasons it will be broadcast for Taylor Swift to convene a concert.
Miley Cyrus once became the idol of American teenagers with Hannah Montana before making "camel toe."
Taylor Swift at that time can also be said to have come from the type of youth idol, but in order to have more achievements in music and gain a higher status and prestige, he resolutely chose to leave the village.
Once Taylor Swift, the team behind it, the marketing operation ability is really extraordinary.
Regardless of the love affair, or the scolding war with the fruit sister, or the supermodel girlfriend group, it is simply a weapon to attract points.
I have to say that the music industry is also changing with the development of the times and social situations, and singing is not as good as marketing.
Like the other side of the Pacific, some celebrities can be seen on the Internet.
Relativity Entertainment's film and television projects are progressing steadily. Danny Boyle officially signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment at the beginning of the year to serve as the director of "Slumdog Millionaire".
Currently, he has flown to Mumbai, India, to find suitable actors and actresses with the assistance of the Mountain Foundation.
On the second weekend of mid-March, Embassy Pictures released the second film of Relativity Entertainment this year, directed by Paul Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich in the "Resident Evil" series came to the third part, Ellie Silk faces more severe challenges.
This is the most successful game-adapted film ever. The only game-adapted film director that Paul Anderson presumably can match, and there is only Uvi Bauer in the world.
Today, Brother Bao will also have a new film released. "Life and Death Fight" has already been filmed and produced, only waiting for the Embassy Pictures to be released.
Brother Bao's daily life is still looking for items through playing games, even boxing to frighten film critics, and from time to time to Blizzard to confess his favorite...
This is definitely a person who has ideals and pursuits and puts them into action.
As for whether it is a good director, it can only be judged by fans.
It is said that New York, Los Angeles, Berlin and other cities have established organizations such as the Uvi-Bauer Fan Club. The number of members is quite large, which is not bad compared to second-tier stars.
In contrast, Paul Anderson's reputation among fans is even worse.
Due to the exaggeration of Relativity Entertainment, the status of "Resident Evil" in the company's projects will inevitably be greatly reduced~EbookFREE.me~ Ronan has given this series to Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich .
Paul Anderson has gone the same way again, and Alice has finally become a superwoman.
However, Ronan did not express any opinions, as long as it can bring profit, everything else is imaginary.
"Resident Evil 3" is very polarized in the audience's reputation. Fans who like it think that the large-scale action scenes and zombies scenes look particularly enjoyable, while those who don't like it think that the film has nothing to do with the plot besides hitting Nothing to do.
The film's performance in the commercial market is still remarkable, with a box office of 31.22 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America.
This is enough for Paul Anderson to get Ronan's green light to continue shooting the fourth part.
