The Best Entertainment Era

Counting the "Interstellar" submitted by Christopher Nolan, Relativity Entertainment currently has three films that are biased towards hard science fiction. In order to avoid future aesthetic fatigue, Ronan specifically urges Embassy Pictures to have a relatively short schedule for the three films. Big time difference.

　　 Fortunately, the preparation and shooting time of the three films is also different.

　　 The fastest "The Martian" is about to finish filming. Mark Damon has already planted potatoes on Mars. If nothing else, this film will be released in the second half of next year.

　　 Alfonso Cuarón’s "Gravity" has just begun preparations. Currently, the male and female protagonists have signed contracts. Sandra Bullock will play the leading role, and James Franco agreed to play the leading role.

　　 Originally George Clooney was very interested in this film, but he offered 15 million dollars in salary, but Ronan refused without hesitation.

　　 This Hollywood star is a typical example of political squeeze, and his reputation in film is far greater than his own appeal.

　　 Although the box office of the three Luohan movies is good, we still need to see how many stars are assembled in them, and the survey statistics clearly show that the most popular among all Luohan movies is Mark Damon.

　　 Since the film has just begun preparations and the production is cumbersome, it will not be released until 2011 at the earliest.

　　 "Interstellar" only has a script and plan. Christopher Nolan is preparing to shoot "The Dark Knight Rises". This film is going to be released in 2012 or 2013 at the earliest.

　　 In this way, three space science fiction films that are biased towards realism are released every other year, which can effectively avoid aesthetic fatigue.

　　Relativistic Entertainment In the future, there will be some achievements in original movies.

　　 Like other companies in Hollywood, original movies have always been a relatively weak item of relativity entertainment.

　　 But excellent original projects are hard to find, and scripts are not easy to find. Even if you find a script, you have to think twice.

　　 From this year to the present, among the top ten movies in North America and the world at the box office, not even an original non-sequel movie can be seen.

　　 The hope of all original movies in 2008 is placed on Inception.

　　 Fortunately, Christopher Nolan did not disappoint.

　　 Although "Inception" did not have a big box office weekend, the box office trend is very stable. Even if it is far less than the mid and early stage of "Avatar", it is quite rare for a commercial production.

　　Before November, every weekend of "Inception" in North America, the box office drop remained within 40%.

　　 Before Halloween, the North American box office of "Inception" reached 233.25 million US dollars, and the global box office easily exceeded 500 million US dollars.

　　 This movie can be called the only fig leaf in the market for original Hollywood movies of 2008.

　　 Even if it is mainly based on business adaptations and series of movies, Relativity Entertainment has gradually gained the nickname "the only conscience of original movies" in the industry with its many successful original movies in the past two years.

　　 Compared with other companies and producers in the circle, Ronan seems to be more likely to give original films and lesser-known newcomers the opportunity to direct.

　　 Before Halloween, the routine projects of Relativity Entertainment in recent years have once again entered theaters.

　　 The fifth part of "Chain Saw Fright" hits, and Jigsaw, the soul mentor of the American Emperor, still appears on the big screen on time, indicating the future development direction for hundreds of millions of American people.

　　 Although Ronan pays more attention to the horror movie universe, and the "Chain Saw" series was completely put in charge of James Wynn, the series has sold four consecutive films, which has formed a huge market inertia.

　　 Besides, without the fetters of the so-called soul mentor of Jigsaw, the content of the film is smoother, and the new-style torture meal is more pure.

　　 The ultimate goal of the death game is no longer solely to alert the world.

　　 Hoffman, the successor of the jigsaw who began to worry that his identity would be exposed, began to "protect himself" frantically and do everything possible.

　　 This also means that he will let more people become dead souls under the deadly mechanism.

　　 Of course, the horror and horror will not stop there. The **** killing game and the new round of nightmare have just begun.

　　 Although word-of-mouth is declining step by step with the addition of sequels, fans of "Chain Saw" have been cultivated over the years, still enjoying the excitement brought by the film.

　　 The fifth part of "Chain Saw" has been filmed in just a few years. Although it is always old wine in a new bottle, most people know it well and come to see this film for excitement.

　　 Is it possible to find the meaning of life and the truth of philosophy in this blood type horror movie?

　　 Isn’t there something wrong with your head?

　　 Jigsaw and his disciples will continue to wreak havoc on the big screen, and Relativity Entertainment also allows them to do curtain calls.

　　 This, the box office of "Chain Saw 5" is the best proof.

　　 The opening weekend in North America was $33.35 million, which also created the best opening result in the series.

However, the "Chain Saw" series has now become a veritable fan-oriented movie. The opening weekend consumes most of the enthusiasm of fans, and it will inevitably face a situation of high driving and low driving. Embassy Pictures predicts the box office next weekend. The decline may even reach more than 65 percent.

　　 In order to open up a new situation for the series, James Winter found Ronan and prepared to shoot and produce "Chain Saw 6" in a new way.

"Before shooting "Chain Saw 5", there was an idea to make this series 3D, but at that time it was not mature enough and there were not enough 3D theaters. The most important thing is that I am not sure whether the audience is willing to go with glasses. Watching such a horror movie."

In the office, James Wynn told Ronan his thoughts: "This year the company's two films "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" have been selling continuously, which has promoted the development of film 3D technology, and the market's desire for 3D is increasing. ."

　　 This 3D craze is driven by Relativity Entertainment, and Ronan naturally understands this.

James Wynn continued: "I carefully studied the 3D film projects that Hollywood has announced and discovered a feature. These projects are all major production films or animated feature films with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. There is no horror film. "

　　 Ronan nodded slightly, and said, "There is no one at the moment."

　　 James-Wen said: "3D horror movies will be a blank in the film market in the short term. As long as we seize this opportunity, I think it can make the "Chain Saw" series a big step forward in business."

　　 Ronan thought a little, and said, "Yes. James, you are still responsible for this project."

　　 "Okay," James Wen replied.

　　 After finalizing the production of "Chain Saw 6" in 3D, James Wynn left.

　　 The Chinese-American director is currently very busy, and he can't help but personally prepare to direct the filming of "Latent 2" and "Call of Souls 2". He also served as the director of the "Annabelle" and "Saw Cry" series.

　　 As a horror movie, "Call of Souls" came quickly and went quickly. After eight weeks of screenings, it went offline in North American theaters, and the North American box office finally stayed at more than 156.68 million US dollars.

　　 For a film with a total investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, such an achievement can be regarded as a big seller.

　　 Even "Annabelle", which will be released next year, has attracted much attention.

　　 Ronan is looking at the scripts and projects submitted by Shahai Entertainment and the "Blacklist Program" implemented by the group.

　　Especially the latter. Since its establishment a few years ago, it has brought two to three films or drama projects with certain market value to Relativity Entertainment every year.

　　 Some of the scripts that appeared on the blacklist have already been copyrighted, some of the scripts seem to be full of artistic value but no one cares about them, and some of the scripts are well-written but they are definitely losing money.

　　 It’s good to be able to use this plan to find two or three movie projects with commercial value every year.

　　 Ronan took a close look at the latest projects that were reported to him, two of which aroused his interest.

The first one is a script directly delivered to Shahai Entertainment. The script author Reid Caroline and Relativity Entertainment once collaborated as the writer of "Dragon Tiger Boys" jointly invested by Shahai Entertainment and Sony Columbia Pictures. screenwriter.

Reid Caroline met Channing Tatum, the male protagonist of the 2006 song and dance film "Dancing Out of My Life", and heard his previous experience of being a dancer, and joined with Channing Tatum. Adapted a script called "Magic Mike".

　　Because of a collaboration with Shahai Entertainment, Reid Caroline directly invested the script for Shahai Entertainment.

　　 Ronan remembers that Channing Tatum ~www.NovelMTL.com~ once starred in the Duke's actor, the experience can be regarded as a wonderful experience. Before becoming an actor, he was a stripper.

　　 Therefore, he gave the green light on this project and asked Shahai Entertainment to talk to the other party, but the investment should not be too high, preferably within US$10 million.

　　 Another project comes from the "Blacklist Project", recommended by an executive of Relativity Entertainment. It is not a script or film project, but a documentary literature.

　　 This book is now on Ronan's desk. The name is "Argo". According to the explanation in the book, this is the name of a spaceship.

　　 Ronan has browsed the content brief and deliberately browsed part of the book.

　　 Because the book is documentary literature, it is adapted from real events.

The book tells about a special period. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Iran broke out against the West. The United States, the world behind the scenes, was spurned. The Iranians were surrounded by faith. U.S. Embassy in Iran.

　　 This is the famous Iranian hostage crisis.

During the period, Tony Mendez, a CIA agent who is proficient in disguise techniques, planned a rescue plan, using the disguise of the Canadian film crew to inspect the location, and successfully took the 6 American diplomats trapped in the Canadian embassy in Iran away from Iran.

　　 "Argo" is the title of the sci-fi movie that the crew claimed to be shooting.

　　 Ronan remembers very clearly that this film was filmed by Big Ben, and it was translated into "Escape from Tehran" after arriving on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Because of the obvious political implications, he also won the Oscar for Best Film The Golden Man.
