The Best Entertainment Era

For these two projects, Ronan gave the green light and got the copyright as quickly as possible.

Reid Caroline has already cooperated, and it is not difficult to talk about it.

The author of Argonauts is not well-known, and no previous work has been adapted into a film. Facing the copyright bid of US$2 million from Relativity Entertainment, he surrendered in just two days.

Compared with the former, Ronan paid more attention to the latter. After winning the adaptation copyright of Argo, he specially summoned the screenwriter responsible for the adaptation to give some suggestions.

Because this film wants to be successful, it must be tricky, especially the theme and content adhere to the so-called American political correctness position.

Needless to say, the intricate relationship between the United States and Iran is clear to anyone who has understood the international situation.

As a Hollywood film company, and the film market is mainly in the West, one can imagine the position it occupies when adapting scripts.

The film will describe the incident from a seemingly relatively neutral standpoint, and turn the Iranians into Hollywood fans.

In the previous film, the scene of fleeing from the airport fully exposed the true face of the Iranian soldiers...

Ronan is very clear that if this film wants to make a profit, it must go to the awards season and the Oscars, and political correctness is an option that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, the structure of the Hollywood standard political thriller genre is very suitable for the adaptation of this project.

The tense and exciting last-minute rescue mode, the morally good and evil American theme, and the subtraction of events are also made to make the story as simple and direct as possible.

Coupled with the necessary background foreshadowing and the implantation of real news materials, the theme of the film becomes thicker. Various elements such as the CIA, the Hollywood film industry, and political issues occupying the moral high ground can add some topicality to the film. Visibility.

As for how the Iranians will feel, it is not within the scope of the adaptation.

From another perspective, this is a typical American pretentious individual heroism movie.

reflect real history? Don't be kidding, let alone Hollywood, look at the movies adapted from real events around the world, which one is not a small part that is still reliable, and most of them rely on nonsense?

This project is included in the future plan of Shahai Entertainment, and the preparations will not start until next year at the earliest.

This year Relativity Entertainment does not have an award-winning project, and next year's awards season will feature Life of Pi that Ang Lee is filming.

After a brief absence from awards season, Relativity Entertainment will soon be back.

On the Oscars, Relativity Entertainment has achieved four consecutive best picture wins. It is not impossible to win five consecutive wins, but the probability is low, and the price paid may increase infinitely.

The main focus of Relativity Entertainment this year is on commercial films. So far, the top three positions in the North American box office rankings are all occupied by Relativity Entertainment's films, namely Avatar and Alice in Wonderland. and Iron Man 2.

Later, Relativity Entertainment also released Shahai Entertainment's animated feature film Crazy Primitives and live-action films The Hunger Games, Beauty and the Beast and Captain America.

Among the top ten in the North American box office list this year, Relativity Entertainment can get at least six or seven positions.

The strength of Relativity Entertainment in terms of movies has entered an eruption period after years of operation and copyright accumulation.

On the first Monday in November, Embassy Pictures released this year's third animated feature film, Crazy Primitives produced by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.

As an animated feature film released in the same year as Avatar, and there are no particularly intense or shaking shots,

There are many clips in The Crazy Wilderness that were made in 3D.

The rest were also converted into 3D format in post-production.

In short, this is an animated movie with some amazing 3D graphics.

Because of the use of 3D technology, Crazy Primitives also created a single film investment record for Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, with a production cost of up to 90 million US dollars.

In terms of character design, Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio has accurately grasped the social trend, placed female characters in a more important position, and broke the dominance of the patrilineal family.

Especially in the image design of the characters, it is even more unique.

The character design in the film is very interesting. It is different from the exaggerated shapes of general cartoons, and it is not completely realistic.

Those prehistoric cavemen were made so strong they looked like a wall.

Moreover, the appearance of women - such as the heroine Aipu, who has strong thighs and thick calves - is quite different from the way many cartoons deliberately refine the legs of female characters.

The animal characters in the film have the huge success experience of the minions. Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio mainly highlights one point in the animal characters - cute!

Those weird animal characters should be different from real animals, but they should not be too exaggerated.

A cute character can become a hot spot in peripheral sales.

This animated feature film can be said to be full of highlights. The American football hunting contest just opened is enough to arouse the interest of the audience and firmly press them on the theater.

In addition, the values ​​​​of the film are naturally pleasing. Although it is very old-fashioned, it is the most pleasing type in the world.

family! family! Still family!

No one can deny the importance of family. Family is the foundation of human society and emotion. The familiar family relationship has been humorously exaggerated against the background of primitive times.

The reaction of primitive people when facing new things is also a very brilliant part of the film.

This is a movie suitable for the whole family to watch together. Children can see themselves rebellious and eager for new things. Parents will resonate with the primitive people in the film who don’t know how to communicate with their children but love them deeply. Enjoy the warmth of family from the film.

In the real world, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the problems are all kinds of strange, but most people always love their family members.

Of course, as a work of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, which has established its own style, the biggest feature of Crazy Primitives is still funny.

The animation studio under Relativity Entertainment has a very different style.

Pixar to the left, Sand Sea animation to the right.

This Crazy Primitives inherits the consistent animation style of Shahai Animation Studio. The characters are not beautiful or even a bit ugly, but they are as cute as ever. The whole film is full of nonsensical jokes. Unload the heavy work and life, only a relaxed body remains.

As for the depth and the like, there is no need to think about it. If you want the so-called depth, it is better to watch European literary films.

The in-depth animation film represents Wall-E. From its release in June to the next stage in North America, the global box office and commercial revenue have created the lowest point since Pixar Studios entered the new century.

Yes, the movie is very classic, even among the masterpieces of animated feature films.

But for the studio, the result was far from ideal.

With more than 200 million US dollars invested, the income is not as good as that of Shahai Entertainment's investment of 60,000 to 70,000 US dollars. As an investor, of course, he will not be satisfied.

Another point is that there is no space or necessity for a sequel to this masterpiece of the gods.

It's a failure of how Hollywood works today.

With the help of the 3D popular wave driven by Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio also made a name for itself through the Minions series and Kung Fu Panda. A real-3D animation feature film, Crazy Primitives received enthusiastic response after its release, and the audience's reputation is also excellent.

On the first weekend of its opening in North America, Crazy Primitives won 62.21 million US dollars in 4,230 theaters, making a good start for Relativity Entertainment in the holiday season.

Animated feature films have always been based on long-term operations, and most of them have a relatively stable trend. Although they faced DreamWorks Animation's Madagascar 2 the next weekend after its release, ten days after its release, the North American box office still easily surpassed 100 million, as high as 112.68 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

DreamWorks has generally developed relatively smoothly in the past two years, and it has also ushered in a box office hit in the field of animated films. With the good foundation laid by the first film, Madagascar 2 opened with a big hit, with 63.1 million in the first weekend. Dollars come in.

With good audience reputation and Relativity Entertainment's strong publicity and distribution capabilities, Crazy Primitives finally made it easy to exceed US$200 million at the North American box office.

Due to the relatively low project investment of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, even including the cost of publicity and distribution, the total cost of Crazy Primitives is only 150 million US dollars, which is enough to achieve high profits by relying on the global box office.

Moreover, many character images in the film are also conducive to the sales of peripheral products.

In this world, the peripheral products of animated feature films are more and more cute and beautiful.

The former item is even more important than the latter.

As Thanksgiving is approaching, more commercial films will start to be released together, and theaters will become crowded again. Some films that have been shown for too long and are gradually lacking in audience interest have to be moved down to make room for new films. space.

After Avatar was screened for half a year, the audience gradually decreased, and few people bought tickets to enter the theater.

In fact, since two months ago, the ordinary 2D version of Avatar has been taken off the assembly line from all theaters in the United States, and now all the shows are in 3D and IMAX3D theaters.

But in this era of fast food, it is obviously impossible for Avatar to realize the North American theater screening of Titanic for nearly a year.

Theater companies don't allow it either, they also want to make profits.

Avatar was fully rolled off the assembly line from North American theaters, and ended the screening tour with a record-breaking US$788.56 million.

In terms of the international market, similar to Titanic ten years ago, the overseas box office is nearly three times that of North America, and the current global box office has reached 2.75668 billion US dollars.

The film's overseas journey is far from over, and some overseas markets have just joined the ranks of screenings, and the global box office will eventually exceed $2.8 billion.
