Legendary Hollywood Producer

Unknowingly, it has been two years since he came to Burbank to become Roman.

Up to now, I have a production company that has released several popular movies, and a distribution company that can be responsible for North American publicity.

In Hollywood's power rankings, it can squeeze into the upper midstream.

But these are not enough to make Roman feel satisfied. Next, according to the envisaged plan, we will open up several more stable financing channels; slowly build overseas distribution channels; seize the wave of the Internet and create an online theater-a similar company Streaming media like Netflix; we must continue to strengthen cooperation with Marvel, and strive for full authority to act for the film and television adaptation of Marvel's characters and the development of the surrounding authorized market...

With so many plans piled up, Roman can only choose to slowly complete them all.

This not only requires a lot of time and energy, but also the human resources and capital output involved.

Don't look at the earnings of Manhai Entertainment and Western Europe Films, but when compared to the extent to which Roman's plan will ultimately be completed, the money is far behind.

But don't be impatient, and Roman will not be satisfied with such a small mess in the future.

With so much successful experience, in the future, the number of movies produced by Manhai Entertainment will definitely increase the number of production each year. Not only that, it is also a very good choice to cooperate with other companies to shoot movie projects.

I used to patronize my own company to make movies. If I did that, although I would get most of the box office profits of the movie, I didn't fully magnify my advantages.

Roman has the memory of his past life, and he has seen and known box office masterpieces. Among them, there are a large number of movie script copyrights in the hands of other companies, just like "Million Dollar Baby" released not long ago, let him Success was missed. This film with excellent reputation and box office results will win multiple awards at the next Oscar. Think about the bonus that the Oscars can bring. Even if this movie is out of theaters, the broader offline home entertainment market will definitely give Warner Bros. far more profit than the box office.

......

Nowadays, the comedy movie "The Hangover", which has been screened for more than a month, has passed its passion in the North American market. Although there are still close to 2 million US dollars in box office income every day, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is far away. The time for the release is not far away. The overall reduced film schedules and screens are used to provide those newly released movies. Do theaters always seek to maximize profits? "The Hangover" is a thing of the past.

And what about the overseas market for this movie? In the first week of the show, it received more than 60 million US dollars in the box office. Up to now, the total overseas box office has exceeded the threshold of 150 million U.S. dollars and is heading towards the 200 million U.S. dollar mark.

In the evaluation of Paramount Pictures, the overseas box office performance of this film should be more than 200 million U.S. dollars. So, Paramount Pictures has done another good business. It is conservatively estimated that this film will bring Paramount Pictures 40 to 50 million US dollars in profits. This also strengthened the measures taken by the top management of Paramount Pictures to win over Manhai Entertainment.

There is a ranking called "North American Annual Box Office Ranking". "The Hangover" produced by Manhai Entertainment is currently on the list with close to US$270 million in the North American film market, ranking fourth. The previous ones are: "The Passion of the Christ" released in the new market, with a North American box office of about 370 million , Ranked third; Columbia Pictures released "Spider-Man 2" with a North American box office of about 373 million, ranking second; the champion was "Shrek 2" issued by DreamWorks, with a North American box office of about 440 million.

Being able to be on the list is enough to see how North American audiences love this comedy movie. Let's see what genre is in front of it.

"The Passion of the Christ", a typical religious movie, can be regarded as a trick. North America is a big country of faith. With a market foundation, coupled with the director's meticulous shooting, this movie is made; "Spider-Man 2" As the sequel to "Spider-Man", the protagonist of the movie itself has a great reputation, and there are many comic fans. The rating is PG-13, which can attract a large number of young people, so it also created such a good result; As for "Shrek 2", the predecessor of this animated movie is very good, and the second one is also very exciting. The combination of the two can be regarded as a huge burst of energy. The movie itself is a family carnival movie that is suitable for adults and children to watch together. It is acceptable for all ages. The vast market and excellent production have resulted in such a result.

"The Hangover" is an R-rated film anyway. First of all, it naturally excludes the market owned by minors. It is already very good to be able to achieve such a good result.

Its score on IMDB has stayed at 8.2, which is slightly lower than when it was first released, but people still love this movie.

The fruits of the success of "The Hangover" are not only enjoyed by the producer Fang Manhai Entertainment and the distributor Fang Xiou Pictures, but also the theater company, the film crews in front and behind the scenes, the director, and the leading actors have all benefited from it.

Director Steve Oldcock will not say anything. When he took the filming of "The Hangover 2", he was worth 6.3 million US dollars plus a 3% share of the North American box office; the filming of the actress "Bride" in it The cost has also risen to 800,000 U.S. dollars. When she first started filming, she got the 200,000 U.S. dollars worth of dramas with few scenes and high competition. Now it has quadrupled; the "groom" actor's worth has also increased. A lot of money, and came to a salary of 2 million US dollars; these are only supporting roles. Even if the multiplier of the price increase seems to be exaggerated, it is just the reason why the salary paid at the beginning is not high, and it is not considered as a capital expenditure. On what.

The popularity of the three leading actors has risen sharply due to the popularity of the movie. Even if Kim Carey has been popular, the other two have really quickly made the public recognize their faces.

When the media marveled at their talent for comedy, they also knew clearly that both of them were going to become stars.

As popular rising stars, they have also received a lot of offers. The Hollywood circle, before you became famous, seemed very stingy, and it was difficult to give newcomers a chance, but after you became famous, the attitude towards it has changed drastically, and the enthusiasm is overwhelming.
