The Best Entertainment Era

True stories, real people, real events!

These can be described as full of gimmicks, and this is a country where theism is rampant.

Although more people believe in money, the influence of gods and monsters is still huge, especially when there is a big company like Relativity Entertainment behind it.

Moreover, after James Wen practiced Latent, he incorporated more documentary styles into The Conjuring, which made the film more realistic.

James Wan is starting to shine as a master in the horror movie genre.

To use the comments of The Hollywood Reporter: As the director, James Wen, in this haunted story of a wilderness cabin that has been used in many classic horror movies, relies on his solid directing skills and excellent rhythm control. The emotions can be freely mobilized, and the blank rendering technique creates a better weird atmosphere than the visual impact, and with the arrival of the ending, this horror film based on real events is truly chilling.

There are also media who believe that The Conjuring should be rated as NC-17, because this film is too scary and can scare people to pee.

Relativity Entertainment is also constantly producing publicity stunts.

For example, a video of so-called fans being interviewed is released on Netflix.

Q: Are horror movies scary?

Answer: It is scary to watch a ghost movie adapted from real events.

Ask again: Do you believe in the existence of ghosts in the world?

Re-answer: After watching the Conjuring Souls series, my will is not firm anymore...

Some ghosts and gods were even hyped up through the media.

What is The Conjuring? I'm afraid it will never be known. In today's age of advocating science, many supernatural events have been characterized as feudal superstitions, but there are indeed some unsolved mysteries in this world that humans cannot use science to solve. Break through. For ghosts and gods, all we can do is to have a heart of awe.

After the premiere, The Conjuring received unanimous praise from fans and the media, and its reputation is definitely one of the best among horror films.

Some movie fans said: The biggest feature of The Conjuring is that there are no excessively bloody or violent scenes. The sense of horror completely impacts people's hearts and emotions, constantly torturing people's beliefs and cognition, and pushing horror movies to a new level. .Even if you were originally a firm atheist,

After watching the movie, you will definitely be shaken.

As a horror film full of highlights and gimmicks, with such a good audience and media reputation, its response in the market can be imagined.

During its premiere weekend in North America, The Conjuring earned $48.96 million, setting a record for James Wen since he started filming!

After years of accumulation, this great Chinese horror director finally ushered in the moment of explosion.

The horror movie universe is also becoming more and more successful, and the following Insidious 2, Annabelle and The Conjuring 2 will also receive more attention.

In addition, James Wen also has a new plan for The Conjuring 2.

Many shots in the first part of The Conjuring were placed on the ghost doll Annabelle in order to lead to this movie; The Conjuring 2 will have a scary nun appear, which leads to the new series of The Nun.

It is said that The Conjuring heroine Vera Farmiga has a younger sister named Taisa Farmiga, who will star in The Conjuring 2 and Annabelle later.

This is James Wen's decision, and Ronan also gave him such power.

The horror movie universe is completely in charge of this Chinese director, as long as there are no major problems, Ronan will not intervene at all.

In just ten days, the North American box office of The Conjuring exceeded 100 million US dollars. Although horror films are all short and fast, the final North American box office reached 150 million US dollars, so there are not many problems.

Movie universe, a not-so-new concept, Hollywood can no longer ignore, because Relativity Entertainment's three movie universes have all achieved great success.

Needless to say, Marvel's Avengers movie universe, everyone in the industry can realize that when The Avengers is released next year, the market will inevitably drop a super box office bomb.

The horror movie universe is not new. In the past, there were not no film companies that put multiple classic horror characters in one movie, and there were also movies like Jason vs. Freddy.

But there has never been a company that can plan such a complete plan, using two so-called exorcists who don't know if they are liars in reality, to produce a series of blockbuster horror movies, and it seems that the momentum of big sales has just begun. It will continue in the future.

American historical celebrity movie universe, a plan planned and implemented by the very unreliable Uwe Ball, this director who is said to be very reliable except for the director’s ability, I don’t know if it’s because the audience is particularly interested in the movie universe Because of this, he even got the best result since filming with a movie that spoofed the Great Commander.

This makes a lot of people angry, even this kind of sand sculpture director can be successful, why can't they?

Therefore, Universal Pictures pushed the Universal Monster Movie Universe Project into the implementation stage as quickly as possible. In order to avoid the tragedy of Warner Bros., it was decided that the monster protagonist of the first movie should be the one that fans are most familiar with and more reliable. mummy.

The disastrous failure of Warner Bros. on Green Lantern has become a valuable experience and lesson for all Hollywood. It is no wonder that Deadpool once broke the fourth wall and ran out to kill the Canadian who hadn't taken the lead...

Universal Pictures tried its best to avoid this kind of tragedy, and specially sent an invitation to Tom Cruise.

However, with the Mission: Impossible series, won the Oscar for Best Actor, and starred in the upcoming Inception, Tom Cruise does not have as much demand for roles and new territories as before.

Once Tom Cruise, only the Mission: Impossible series was left to support him, and he desperately needed a new hit movie, and then took over The New Mummy.

What follows is tragedy, not only the tragedy of The New Mummy, but also the tragedy of Universal Pictures' monster movie universe.

After Tom Cruise received the invitation, he ran to ask Ronan for his opinion.

Universal Pictures is very sincere. After listening to Tom Cruise's description, Ronan said, US$20 million plus 10% North American box office revenue.

Tom Cruise didn't care, and said: I can't be the richest man in the world, money or something is not important.

He is also a billionaire now, and salary is no longer the first factor that impresses him.

Is the male lead that Universal Pictures invited you to play a mummy? Ronan still had doubts but did not confirm.

No. Tom Cruise simply explained: He is an expert in history.

Ronan understood, and said directly: Tom, this is a mummy movie. The audience's focus is on the mummy. What Universal Pictures wants to create is a monster movie universe, and the focus is also on the mummy. In this way, this character is doomed. It’s hard to please, and it will even become the main content of Universal’s films, that is, the existence of Universal’s monsters.”

Tom Cruise nodded slowly, and was reminded by Ronan that these principles are not difficult to figure out.

Ronan turned to ask, Will you play a monster?

Impossible. Tom Cruise is not an ordinary star. When choosing a role, he must consider his own positioning. He said: It is impossible for me to play a mummy. It does not match my image.

Ronan spread his hands: The result is obvious.

Tom Cruise said: I get it, I'm turning down Universal Pictures in the future.

Universal Pictures is ambitious and invested a lot of resources in order to create a monster movie universe. The actors alone have already finalized Russell Crowe, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, etc. There is no shortage of stars.

Since there are so many stars, Tom Cruise feels that there is no shortage of him.

Or carry forward the spirit and give the opportunity to others.

A week later, Universal Pictures held a press conference and announced the monster movie universe plan, and named it-Dark Movie Universe!

It seems to follow Marvel's Avengers plan, the first phase of the dark movie universe, mainly composed of six members, namely: Mummy, Dr. Incarnation, Frankenstein, Transparent Man, Werewolf, and Vampire Dracula.

These are the most famous monster characters in the history of Hollywood movies, and they have all been popular under the production and distribution of Universal Pictures before.

In a sense, this is also a remake film project with huge investment.

Universal Pictures is ambitious. If every movie can be like the two Mummy directed by Stephen Sommers, they will definitely have a series no less than the Avengers movie universe.

Selling peripherals can be crazy!

But whether it can be successful or not depends on how the movie works.

Ronan vaguely remembered that Universal's plans for a dark cinematic universe ended up being an indefinitely postponed Lifetime series.

Entering the second half of September, Relativity Entertainment took advantage of the brokerage crisis to gain a lot from its strategy on Wall Street, and made a series of arrangements in advance for 20th Century Fox.

On the other hand, Qianlu Group from the other side of the Pacific reached a cooperation agreement with Relativity Entertainment after a long period of negotiations. The two parties jointly invested and registered a new company in the Cayman Islands for the subsequent acquisition plan.

After the new company is established, the two groups will inject capital in batches. If the plan goes well, the funds to be operated next will be at the level of tens of billions of dollars.

Qianlu Group has a strong background on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and has raised a large amount of funds. Its director Lin Jian is very clear that this kind of opportunity to win Hollywood's first-line big companies in one fell swoop, after missing Relativity Entertainment, may not be there in the future. Can't meet.

The Qianlu Group, which aspires to make achievements in the entertainment industry, also began to invest its strength on the basis of maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.

At the same time, Ronan got the news that Christopher Nolan, who was preparing to film The Dark Knight Rises for Warner Bros., encountered a lot of trouble. Warner Bros. intervened in the production of The Dark Knight Rises, which led to conflicts between the two parties.

Christopher Nolan also specifically asked Ronan for help, after all, he was the producer of the first two films.
