The Best Entertainment Era

No matter how bad it is, the House of the Dead has indeed achieved great commercial success. After the North American box office share arrived, as of July, a total investment of 8 million US dollars has been exchanged for nearly 35 million US dollars in revenue. , It can be said that he has made a lot of money.

No one can expect every small budget to be the Blair Witch.

Most of those Hollywood movies that actually produce millions of dollars can make hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits, which is very good.

Ronan didn't know which game company's classic game Uwe Ball would be eyeing. As long as the copyright and investment were appropriate, he would still support Uwe Ball.

As for ruining game classics, it doesn't matter at all to a movie businessman or a non-game fan.

If there are enough profits, if Ronan can get the copyright, even World of Warcraft will dare to let Uwe Ball to shoot in the future.

Just thinking about the effect of the pictures taken makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

Recalling the background story of being eaten by Blizzard over and over again, Ronan suddenly found a suitable entry point, and the future success rate seems to be relatively high.

The key is to choose a protagonist from among the many Warcraft heroes!

This is the key! Those like Anduin Lothar, World Sha, Arthas, Vawang, and Sylvanas are all weak.

Think about the social situation more than ten years later, what kind of protagonist can be popular?

Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of the sea, of course.

Women, feminists, can be classified as American leftists before the end of Theramore. For the sake of friends with abnormal skin color and appearance, they will not hesitate to kill their relatives and find ways to get rid of their father who has made serious racist mistakes.

Doesn't this behavior of betraying her father just fit the political correctness of that era?

right! Also, if you really want her to be the heroine, you must add the identity of a woman, preferably across races. Speaking of orcs, trolls, and tauren women, are there any more famous ones?

When this film is shot, it will definitely win the Golden Globes and Oscars, and it will be worse than the Black Panthers.

No wonder the adaptation of Blizzard's previous life failed so miserably. In the end, it was reduced to the point of selling items to stop losses. It was because they found the wrong protagonist and the wrong starting point.

If Blizzard Filmed World of Warcraft After Black Panther Fired,

Might wait for some inspiration.

Movies like Black Panther can become the annual box office champion in North America. It can only be said that cultural differences and social situations have too much influence on movies.

For example, Shrek, during overseas screenings, some reversals of classic fairy tales and jokes were criticized by the media in some conservative countries for disrespecting literature and classics, making classic fairy tales a mess, and so on.

Ronan really wanted to ask these guys who always criticize others for disrespecting the classics, do they know the original versions of these classic fairy tales? Do you want the fairy tales published in their country to respect the classics? Respect the original?

Overseas screenings of Shrek have received excellent responses from traditional western markets, but in some places, both box office and word-of-mouth are only mediocre.

After all, for people with conservative thinking, even in a movie like Shrek, which is harmless to humans and animals, they can interpret 10,000 kinds of malice.

By the beginning of July, the movie released by Embassy Pictures had been released in more than 50 countries and regions, and the overseas box office had accumulated more than 135 million U.S. dollars, and it was easy to exceed 200 million U.S. dollars in the end.

Naturally, Embassy Pictures and DreamWorks Animation Studio renewed the Shrek sequel distribution contract. DreamWorks Animation Studio will hand over all the sequels of this series to Embassy Pictures for overseas full copyright distribution.

Although Ronan and Jerry Fu Katzenberg often practice golf together, and their personal relationship has developed very well, DreamWorks Animation Studio did not easily tie itself to Embassy Pictures, and obviously did not want to walk on one leg.

This is a normal operating strategy, and Ronan did not force it.

Besides, there are many classic animated feature films produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio, but there are also many bad films.

DreamWorks Animation is sometimes a lot like Ridley Scott, making one good movie and one bad one.

For example, the key animated feature film project Pony King, which was invested at the same time as Shrek, Ronan didn't even remember that DreamWorks had made such a film, so he would not be interested in releasing it.

Ronan had spoken at length with Jerry Katzenberg about taking on a series about African animals that DreamWorks Animation had just put on the agenda.

He's already seen several animal prototypes in DreamWorks Animation's initial creative draft, including lions, zebras, giraffes and hippos.

According to Jerry Katzenberg, the original inspiration for the story of the film came from a simple question: What would happen if zoo animals that have always lived in the civilized world were placed in a virgin forest?

If I remember correctly, this is the Madagascar series.

The penguins of Madagascar were also derived later.

The two series, Shrek and Madagascar, also really determined the style of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

The current preliminary production budget is $70 million.

Ronan knows very well that compared to the huge cost of hundreds of millions of dollars that Pixar Studios strives for, DreamWorks Animation pays more attention to spending small money to accomplish big things. Pixar's films are far worse.

For example, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo, in fact, at a glance, you can find that the picture quality is far superior to Shrek and Madagascar.

Before Pixar Studios was acquired by Walt Disney, it was a veritable group of gangsters.

By the way, how much Pixar studio shares does Steve Jobs own? Even after listing, there should be more than 50%, right?

If it develops according to the normal trajectory, Pixar Studios will definitely be owned by Walt Disney in the end.

The key figure in doing all this is called Robert Iger.

All the relevant news and materials in the previous life mentioned this acquisition case. The first big move Robert Iger made after he came to power in 2005 was to personally persuade Steve Jobs to agree to Walt Disney’s acquisition of Pixar studio.

This can be called the first step in the revival of Di Baobao.

The current Robert Iger has just been transferred from ABC TV to Disney not long ago. He is just an executive in the entertainment department, and he is still far from the height of his previous life.

If I remember correctly, it seems that around 2003, the team headed by Roy Disney began to attack Michael Eisner. Disney's already sharp internal conflicts broke out completely. Na was promoted vigorously, and only then began to embark on the first-line stage of Disney.

Robert Iger belonged to the person promoted by Michael Eisner, but eventually took over Michael Eisner's position.

Power struggles have never been so tender.

Who knows why Robert Iger was able to win the support of Roy Disney and many other shareholders and directors who opposed Michael Eisner.

But in any case, Robert Iger is a very capable person.

In the previous life, Disney couldn't even find a suitable successor.

It seems that this smiling Mickey Mouse is also interested in running for the US presidential election.

Yes, Angelina Jolie also has this idea.

She took the road that George Clooney always wanted to walk, but didn't succeed.

It would be wonderful if the United States had a President Jolie in the future.

The prodigal girl turns her head back and won't change her money...

Lindsay, I've finished reading your manuscript.

In Sandsea Entertainment's office, Ronan looked at the delicate Lindsay Bill and said, The revised version is very good, and Katniss is particularly successful in shaping it. This role will become a classic of female independence.

Lindsay Bill sat on the chair and said with a smile, As long as you are satisfied. She was already familiar with Ronan, so she was not polite, and said directly, Can the manuscript be handed over to the publisher?

Ronan nodded: I'll have someone contact Random House in the afternoon and pass on the manuscript to them. With Twilight in front, the publication of this book is not a problem.

He thought for a while, and added: In the author column, there is still your signature.

Lindsay Bill smiled and said, Well, okay.

Being able to sign a work is unthinkable for other ghostwriters, but she is quite satisfied with getting such treatment twice in a row.

Ronan continued: Lindsay, your next stage of work is to cooperate with Random House to revise the Hunger Games manuscript, and then complete Fifty Shades of Gray. This is also our last contract.

Don't worry, Ronan. Lindsay Bill said confidently, I'm ready.

She said with a little embarrassment: Some time ago, I went to the San Fernando Valley to observe the shooting of a similar film.

Ronan did not expect that she would make such serious preparations, and said: After finishing Fifty Shades of Gray, if you want to develop into a screenwriter, you can stay at Shahai Entertainment, and I will ask the company to provide you with a formal screenwriting contract. In addition...

He suddenly remembered the right to adapt the summer novel of Jeans that he got, which is undoubtedly suitable for female screenwriters, and Lindsay Bill's ability has also been proved.

I have a women's film project here. Ronan revealed appropriately: After you finish Fifty Shades of Grey, you can invest in the script creation of this project.

Lindsay Bill couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and said, Okay! I will definitely satisfy you!

Soon, the young female screenwriter happily left Ronan's office.

Everyone thinks differently. Lindsay Bill prefers to be a screenwriter rather than a writer.

Ronan left the company before he got off work, and took two bodyguards to the Motor City to receive the ordered vehicles.
