Hollywood Starts with Animation

Kevin Fitch is a very bold person. After some investigation and thinking, he immediately agreed to the Ellen Krueger plan. Acquired the film and television adaptation rights of "Midnight Furious Bell" and transformed it into "U.S. Version · Midnight Furious Bell".

Give an order.

Wald Pictures (Japan) branch immediately sent a letter of notification to ACE Pictures, the copyright owner of "Midnight Ring".

The boss of Japan's ACE Photo Film Company saw that his American father wanted to buy the North American copyright of "Midnight Ring", and immediately agreed without hesitation.

"President, do you really want to sell North American copyright to Wald Pictures?"

Kakuhito Tanaka, one of the executives, hesitated.

Hearing this, the boss of ACE Pictures said in a deep voice: "Of course it must be sold, and it must be sold with great fanfare!"

Tanaka Kakuhito: "..."

The boss raised his mouth and said with a smile: "Although the movie "Midnight Ring" has brought us extremely rich returns to ACE Pictures, it has also made us a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of many film companies. How difficult it is that you haven't seen it."

Kakuren Tanaka was speechless.

A "Midnight Ring" movie turned out to be a box office miracle in Japan and even in Asia. Numerous applause and flowers followed.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a lot of pressure from the same industry!

The boss said loudly: "So this time the film copyright must be sold, and it is sold with fanfare. I want to let those colleagues who are looking forward to the closure of our ACE Pictures film company know that there are Hollywood film giants behind us."

In words, the boss of ACE Pictures Film Company is full of high spirits.

"Uh....."

Kakuhito Tanaka's face twitched slightly, and said weakly: "President, Wald Pictures from Hollywood is simply buying the copyright for the adaptation of "Midnight Ring". It... won't work. Support us."

The voice fell.

"Asshole, you stupid fellow!"

The boss of ACE Pictures Film Company yelled: "As long as we spend a little money on the media to publicize things, then when the time comes, what we say is what we say?"

"It doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is!"

"As long as those investors who are interested in our company believe it, it can bring a large wave of cash flow to our company."

Kakuto Tanaka immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "President Yoshiaki~~"

One side wants to buy, and the other wants to sell.

The two sides hit it off.

In just two days, Wald Pictures won the US version of "Midnight Ring", and paid only $150,000 for the copyright purchase.

Don't be too small~

You must know that after the fire of the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs" in 2002, Hollywood's Warner Bros. Pictures purchased the adaptation rights, and the cost was only $200,000.

Hollywood studios are buying film and television adaptation rights and film and television remake rights outside of the United States...

Traditionally, the cost has not been a lot.

Well, it's much lower than the cost spent in the United States.

Especially in the 90s and early 2000s, you will find a strange aspect in Asia.

It is an honor for you to be able to see your movie in Hollywood.

Money or not is another matter.

It is not uncommon to even give away copyrights to Hollywood studios for such a bit of vanity.

Los Angeles, Wald Pictures.

"Ai Ren? The right to adapt to "Midnight Ring"? The company has already won."

Kevin Fitch said.

Hearing that, the new screenwriter Eren Krueger was very pleasantly surprised at the moment. He said: "Thank you very much for Mr. Fitch's recognition. I will definitely not let down your expectations. Believe me? I will be in two weeks? Put the adapted script on your desk."

Kevin Fitch smiled and patted Ai Ren on the shoulder: "Man, don't work hard. Don't forget, our company has many excellent screenwriters, and I believe they can help you."

Ai Ren nodded heavily.

At this moment, he is undoubtedly very moved? This attention from Kevin Fitch? He has never felt before during his 5 years at DreamWorks.

"Big director-Spielberg?"

"Ace screenwriter—Graham Yost?"

"I will make you regret it! When I finish "The Midnight Ring" and get a high box office, I believe you will regret letting me leave! I firmly believe!"

Allen Kruger swears secretly in his heart.

After Allen left, Kevin Fitch was left in the entire office, but he quickly picked up the phone on the desk? Dialed a number.

quickly.

Gavin O'Connor, the director of the company's production department, appeared in the office.

"Mr. Fitch, what can I do for you?"

Gavin O'Connor asked.

Kevin immediately said: "The company has just bought the right to adapt a film called "Midnight Ring" from the Japanese company ACE Pictures? Now it has entered the stage of script adaptation. You are responsible for the company's production department. People, I need you to do a data simulation on the production cost of the movie, the crew setting, the director, the producer and other important candidates."

Gavin O'Connor nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."

......

Two days later.

When Zhu Ke was in the office of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, he saw the copy of the project approval document of "The Midnight Ring in the US" submitted by Wald Pictures.

"It turned out to be "The Ring of Midnight"?!"

Zhu Ke was surprised.

You ask Zhuke as a traverser if he has watched "The Ring of Midnight"? Then Zhuke will tell you? Not only has he seen it, but he also remembers it fresh.

Video tape, dry well, TV, Sadako...

The disheveled female ghost Sadako crawled out of the TV set slowly...

The picture of Sadako crawling out of the TV alone is a classic shot in film history and one of the childhood shadows of countless movie audiences.

The plot of this movie is not **** horror, but by creating a suspenseful atmosphere to capture the audience's mood and generate fantasy, coupled with excellent horror sound effects, make the audience nervous when watching.

When the film was released in Hong Kong in July 1998, it became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong that year with a total revenue of 31 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the record for the Lunar New Year film "The King of Comedy".

"Shouldn't the American version of "Midnight Ring" be taken down by DreamWorks? How could it become a project of Wald Pictures?"

Zhu Ke, who had many doubts in his mind, immediately dialed Kevin Fitch's phone for verification.

"what?!"

"We really got the copyright, and it only cost $150,000?"

"Hehe~www.novelmtl.com~ It's really cheap!"

......

The phone hangs up.

The corner of Zhu Ke's mouth raised slightly: "It's really an unexpected joy..."

"I should be grateful to Spielberg and Graham Yost. If they hadn't driven Allen away, the American version of "Midnight Bell" would not reach my hands."

The cunning classmate Zhu Ke knows that the US version of "The Ring of Midnight" has won $250 million in box office worldwide.

咚咚咚~

At this moment, the chief assistant Alexander knocked on the office door.

After he walked in, he handed Zhu Ke a report data.

Zhu Ke took a look, and immediately couldn't help taking a breath, and said solemnly: "This year's Halloween schedule is completely cold, and it's still the most bleak Halloween schedule ever!"
