Chapter 655 Disney's oldest princess
Another year is coming to an end. In the past twelve months, the world has been in turmoil, and many of them are closely linked to Hollywood. This article was first published by...
The federal government finally temporarily settled Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran jumped out and launched a public opinion war on American culture represented by Hollywood. Although Iran was in a dilemma in the end, their restart of nuclear tests made the situation in the Middle East further turbulent.
The reason for everything is that the political influence brought by "Argo" far exceeds Ryan's expectations.
He did not expect that the Iranian government's nerves were so sensitive. Thinking about the world's number one military power that was infinitely smeared by Hollywood, no matter what remarks were made here, those fat people were always immovable.
Of course, if anyone gets angry, they will beat the world's largest country. This trick has been proven to be successful.
No matter who provokes me, I will beat up people from the south. This is the best villain in the movie.
After Christmas, "Argo" ended its screening in North America from the last fifteen theaters.
Thanks to the Iranians' inspiration, the movie's last box office in North America reached 215.05 million US dollars, plus the overseas regions that have been released, the global box office is infinitely close to 350 million US dollars.
However, the overseas regions where the film can be released have basically been released. Countries that have not yet been released will basically not introduce such extremely strong political films, and the final box office is like this.
However, with a total investment of more than 60 million US dollars, it was definitely a typical example of small costs and high returns.
After deducting a series of cast and staff sharing fees including the $20 million box office share paid to Ryan, Disney can still make about $40 million in box office profits, which is rare in movies in recent years.
If this is not a specific subject, Disney wants to make a sequel.
Perhaps we can continue to work together after the release of other memoirs of Antonio Mendez?
Sitting in an office chair, Ryan was still making this kind of consideration when he checked the latest release report of "Argo".
Of course, the biggest profit point of this film is still around. Ryan temporarily suppressed the copyright of "Argo" TV and DVD, and waited for the Oscars ceremony more than two months later.
Disney is actively PR for this film. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely to get the best film.
You should know that the Iranian government lost all its face in the public opinion war, and almost pointed at Hollywood's nose, calling Hollywood a lackey for spreading the great American imperialist ideas. The federal government also has two aircraft carrier battle groups anchored in the Persian Gulf. What choice would Oscar, which had never been related to politics, make, actually, there is no need to think about what choice would it make.
If there is an Iranian film that reflects social realities now participating in the Oscar competition, it will definitely win the best foreign language film Little Golden Man.
Although after the Iranian government attacked Ryan, its media tried their best to discredit the Iranian government, Ryan never made any comments in public. As far as his current status is concerned, some words cannot be easily said.
What's more, George Clooney, as a director, was in front of him, and the other party was very smart. He knew how to increase his weight to win the best director nomination. While holding the young and beautiful female lawyer, he fully criticized the Iranian government for interfering in Hollywood's creative freedom.
Freedom, in this country, there is no slogan that can be more deeply rooted in people's hearts than this word.
After pressing the phone and asking the secretary to send a new cup of coffee, Ryan set his sights on other Disney projects.
Disney's new fairy tale project "Magic Legend" aroused his interest a little. Because the actor who starred in the role of the Princess of the Flowers is actually over 30 years old, this is definitely the oldest princess in Walt Disney's history.
However, after seeing the actor's name, Ryan canceled his plan to intervene. Amy Adams was born with a baby face, and it was not a problem to play a princess who was less than 20 years old as long as she put on makeup.
Speaking of which, the actress's famous work "Cat and Mouse Game" was advanced by herself, perhaps this is also an alternative compensation.
Later, he saw another proposal for a Disney trial 3D video.
This is a suggestion from Disney Pictures management department. I hope Disney will start this work as soon as possible, just like Warner.
Ryan had long been planning for this matter. "Jurassic Park 3" will be produced with 3D technology, which will shock the world again. The screenwriter team has been writing scripts for a long time. The story is not important, and the highlight of the movie is the dinosaurs.
When the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Velociraptor opened their bloody mouths and bit them in front of the audience, the shock was simply a killer weapon in this era.
During this Christmas holiday, the 3D animated feature film "Polar Express" shot by Robert Zemikis was almost complained about by the audience from the character to the storyline, but there were still many people queuing up to buy tickets just for the few 3D cinemas.
The 3D effect shown in the film is criticized by professional film critics as a new behavior of merchants to make money, but the audience praised it. Now it is not the era when 3D is gradually becoming popular. Most of the few 3D videos in the past are fake 3D converted later. For example, "Polar Express" with absolutely excellent 3D effects, there are very few in the whole world today.
The most direct effect of this film is that it has inspired major Hollywood production companies to be enthusiastic about 3D.
Because Ryan and James Cameron hold most of the new 3D and IMAX patents, Disney naturally wants to maximize this advantage.
As long as the later stage of "The Hunger Games" is completed, Catherine Kennedy will turn to the preparations for "Jurassic Park 3", and what Ryan is thinking the most about now is whether "Transformers" should be 3D.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ryan shook his head, or wait until he talked with Michael Bay before making a decision.
Unlike other media groups, the film industry is Walt Disney's core industry. Most of its businesses, even amusement parks and TV stations, are based on excellent film and television works. Projects that can drive peripheral products are the works that Disney focuses on producing.
For example, the global box office of "Superman Family" exceeded 600 million US dollars, and the box office was just recovering the cost. In terms of peripherals, Disney's net profit was as high as more than 145 million US dollars in just over half a year, which is not the only advertising fees that the film received during subsequent broadcasts on Disney TV.
This is much worse than the Harry Potter series.
One month after the release of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", the box office in North America successfully exceeded 250 million US dollars. During this period, the sales of peripheral products were close to 300 million US dollars, which is equivalent to every American spending one dollar for the peripheral products of the film.
Of course, looking at Hollywood's history, the profit-making of peripheral products can be compared with the "Harry Potter" series, which is actually the "Star Wars" series.
Before lunch, Ryan left the Disney headquarters building and rushed back to Beverly Hills, and went directly to Willshe Avenue, where the commercial buildings were concentrated. There are countless top department stores on this street. The nearby Beverly Shopping Center is also a favorite of many celebrities. There are nearly 180 specialty stores in the center.
Among them, the one that has just been arranged is Charlize’s ‘ct’ fashion brand.
South African Diamond followed the advice of the business team. The brand's foothold is not luxury goods, nor does it have that foundation. It targets consumers more popular. In other words, it is the most important middle-class people in the United States.
"I said that if you endorse yourself, it is actually the best choice."
The store has not opened yet. Ryan stood in the middle of the store with his hands on his chest, opposite him was a large poster of Taylor and Charlize wearing jeans. The straight jeans set off their slender legs almost perfectly.
"But Alison is more attractive at this stage," Charlize said, staring at Taylor on the poster. "Teenagers across the United States are almost crazy about her."
"Do you know, Ryan?" she said, "Alison just attended the ribbon cutting of the flagship store in New York, and the stockings that day were almost sold out by those crazy young people."
"How much endorsement fee did she charge?" Ryan laughed.
"We haven't discussed it in detail yet." Charlize shrugged and said indifferently, "but she said she would just want 10% of the shares in your hands."
"Let's do it." Ryan thought for a while, "When she finishes the publicity, I'll transfer the shares in my hands to you."
He shook his finger and interrupted Charlize's words to refuse, "Dear, you know, I don't have the time and don't have that much energy to devote to this. You need enough equity to recruit talents."
A newly established fashion company is impossible to grow without sufficient investment and excellent team operation.
"Okay, it's time to have lunch." Ryan looked at his watch and pulled Charlize, "Nothing is more important than the body."
"Then can you treat me?" Charlize turned to look at him.
"no problem."
After Charlize explained to the store manager a few words, Ryan pulled her out, "I'll cook myself when I get home."
"never mind."
Walking next to Ryan, Charlize showed a terrifying expression, "It's better to order takeaway."
Down the parking lot through the elevator, Ryan started the car and drove Charlize to the manor. There was no need to call takeout. When he left Disney, he notified Lisa to ask the chef of the manor to prepare lunch.
"Do you still have to go back to South Africa after the New Year?" After turning off the busy Wilsey Avenue, Ryan increased his speed, Charlize slightly tidied up his seat belt and said, "Yes, mom wants to go back to her hometown to see it. I also want to bring the company's products to South Africa, and also participate in an event of the 2010 World Cup Organizing Committee." (To be continued...)
