The Best Entertainment Era

Since Universal Pictures bought out the follow-up copyright of the Fast and Furious series, the related sequels have begun to be planned. Universal Pictures has filmed the first and second Fast and Furious, and Ronan will naturally not consider it. Take a film whose audience is now concentrated in the Western world, and go to a place as far away as an island country to shoot.

In the past Tokyo Drift, not to mention the withdrawal of the original main actors such as Paul Walker, just setting the background of the story in Tokyo is a big failure.

For this type of commercial film, the background of the story is set in Canada, Latin America, Europe, or even Australia, and the effect is actually much better than that in Tokyo.

After all, the first two films alone are not the top Hollywood commercial productions that once raced all over the world.

Globalization also has a good foundation laid before, and then it is realized step by step.

Looking at the global film market in this era, drag racing movies can still be regarded as themes with a not very wide audience.

This series became so popular in the end, one is the result of the accumulation of many sequels, and the other reason is that everyone knows it, not to mention.

Sandsea Entertainment has accepted this series and started to operate from Fast and Furious 3. Since the film was released in August, the cumulative box office in North America has reached 181.25 million US dollars.

As we all know, this kind of pure popcorn movie, without the blessing of special factors, is difficult to maintain its popularity for too long. Embassy Pictures predicts that the final North American box office of Fast and Furious 3 will hardly exceed 200 million US dollars. Around $190 million.

However, the film's overseas box office has easily exceeded 150 million US dollars, and there are still many markets that have not been released, and there is still huge room for box office growth.

The global box office of Fast and Furious 3 is very likely to reach the $400 million level in the end.

This determines that Fast and Furious 4 will not only be put on the agenda, but will also further increase investment. The investment for the fifth part will reach 130 million US dollars.

In today's Hollywood, this has already crossed the threshold of first-line commercial productions.

The press conference was officially held, thanks to the growing influence of Relativity Entertainment, even if it was just a film project launch conference, there were still hundreds of reporters present.

Out of the emphasis on the Fast and Furious series, Ronan appeared on the stage in person and was the first to speak.

As the highest-grossing racing theme in movie history, Fast and Furious is enough to attract young audiences in all aspects. From the perspective of investors, Ronan must of course blow up his own movies. The boss has never been a qualified producer: Especially when this series has reached the fourth part, all the characters will rush out of North America, and the sound of drag racing motors will sound overseas.

Driven by some media reporters who have an in-depth cooperative relationship with Relativity Entertainment, there was extremely warm applause at the press conference.

As for the press conference, the atmosphere is also very important, and it is normal to place people to drive the atmosphere.

After Ronan, Jessica Felton, who was directly in charge of the project, took over the microphone.

Although she is wearing a professional suit for women, she has been reducing her chest fat through professional yoga training in recent years, but when Jessica Felton appeared, her exquisite face and hot figure still attracted the shots of all reporters .

The continuous flashing lights made Jessica Felton temporarily unable to speak.

Jordana-Brewster and Gianna-Jun participated in the press conference, the two leading actresses,

In terms of appearance and temperament, he was completely crushed by the producer.

Jessica Felton had to make a gesture of pressing down, and the cameras and video cameras in the hands of reporters fell silent.

As a producer, I want to make Fast and Furious 4 a high point of the series. We hope that this film can be the highest point of the series in all aspects, such as the length of the car chase and the relationship between the characters. complexity, even in terms of production cost.

The reporter quieted down, and Jessica Felton talked generously: I have full confidence in this film, because each of the Fast and Furious Series has been more recognized by the audience than the other. The movie series that has been going up, and then to the fourth part, we need to make a phased summary of the whole series, so many ideas that we wanted to use before but were not included in the movie due to various reasons, as long as they are worthwhile. All of them will be played in Fast and Furious 4.

Jessica Felton stopped short and quickly handed over the microphone to Justin Lin, who continues to serve as director.

The success of Fast and Furious 3 has also greatly enhanced Justin Lin's self-confidence: The script of Fast and Furious 4 has been completed, and the plot will develop along the timeline of the entire story. To bluntly blend the previous stories together, we will use a relatively most reasonable layout to put the characters into it. And we have always retained many characteristics of the series, for example, this time we are going to change the city for drag racing .”

Speaking of this, he laughed: Rio de Janeiro is the target city we set in the first half of the year. This is a place where old and new cultures clash. The architectural style has its own characteristics. This time the audience can see us on the big screen. A most thrilling racing adventure ever!

Relativity Entertainment went to Brazil for filming, and got a positive response from Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro will not only provide certain tax rebates, but also agree that all the drag racing scenes of the crew will be filmed on the street, and the Rio police will provide all-round support.

The latter point is especially rare. In the famous big cities in the world, there are not many people who dare to let the crew shoot in real scenes.

After Justin Lin, several leading actors also talked about their prospects for the new film.

The crew still invited actors of multiple ethnicities to join in, so as to do more in the minority market.

As one of the leading actors, Dwayne Johnson is himself a black mixed race. According to the ethnic divisions in most parts of the United States, Dwayne Johnson should be classified as black.

The two protagonists are paired in black and white, covering the two largest audience groups in the Western film market.

Dwayne Johnson looks like a muscular guy, but he is actually very funny: The director said to me at the beginning, this is not an easy job, you have to be ready, I said to the director, I did it a few years ago I have already learned the lesson, just let the horse come over!

Embassy Pictures has done a market survey on the third part. Among all the characters, the popularity of Dwayne Johnson has already surpassed the trend of Paul Walker.

Probably the muscular and funny type of Dwayne Johnson is also suitable for the appetite of more audiences.

Shortly after the press conference, the crew, led by Jessica Felton and Justin Lin, will go to Rio de Janeiro to prepare for the filming.

After the press conference, Ronan walked out of the press room with Jessica Felton and said, Jessie, I just want to remind you that Fast and Furious 4 is still a PG-13 level movie. movie of.

I understand. Jessica Felton smiled and said, Don't worry, all the beauties in swimsuits in the film can be seen but not touched.

Ronan also said in a joking tone: It's okay to touch once in a while.

The two entered the lobby of the hotel, and Jaina-Quan suddenly came over to say hello: Hi, Ronan.

She then said to Jessica Felton: Hi, Jess.

Jessica Felton nodded to Jaina, didn't say much, and left here directly.

But before going out, she couldn't help but look back again.

Ronan asked, What do you want me to do?

Gianna-Quan said: It's my birthday. I'm going to Rio de Janeiro next month to prepare for Fast and Furious 4. Before I leave, I want to hold a birthday party. She asked full of hope: Ronan, do you have time to attend?

Ronan just pondered for a while, and then politely refused: My schedule is very tight, and time does not allow it.

Gianna - Immediate disappointment all over her face: One night...

Sorry, Jaina, I really don't have time. Ronan said directly: Your residence hasn't changed, has it? Waiting to receive my birthday present.

Hearing this, Gianna-Quan still looked disappointed, but she felt much more comfortable. She has been in close contact with Ronan for several years. There is nothing she is not proficient in playing, playing, singing, and vibrating bells.

And what about Ronan? It is also absolutely generous, not to mention the characters, without Ronan, there would be no international superstar Jaina, and there are countless other gifts and gifts, all of which are the world's top big names.

Gianna-Jeon finally said: Okay, your work is urgent, we have time to meet again.

Ronan didn't say any more, said goodbye to Jaina Quan, left the hotel, and said to Connie who followed behind: Order a gift and deliver it before the 30th.

Connie responded immediately.

After leaving the hotel, Ronan got into the car and sent David back to Beverly Hills.

Someone once said that there is no need to admire materialistic women, but there is no need to despise them, because women who love material things are similar to men who are lustful.

Many people want to get rid of their inherent destiny in various ways. In modern society, it has become more and more difficult.

When people are poor and there are a bunch of poor people around, who will help whom? It's brutal, but very real in North America.

The weak in this era actually don't have many choices, and once they fall into the quagmire, they can't get out.

Ronan didn't personally ask about the birthday gift for Jaina-Quan, and it was completely handed over to Connie. She has handled it many times in the past, so it can be said that she has rich experience.

As for rejecting Jaina-Quan's invitation, on the one hand, it is due to psychological factors, and on the other hand, time does not allow it.

Because on October 30th, that is, before Halloween, a series of movies under Relativity Entertainment will hold its premiere.

James Wen stepped down as director and turned to producer of Saw 4, which is about to be released.
