Chapter 758 Feelings should be cultivated from an early age

Starting from mid-March, "Transformers" has been launched in film markets around the world, including North America. By early April, in addition to a few small countries that can be almost ignored, the global screening of this film has basically ended, and the box office share from all over the world has also been in place.

In North America, Transformers' excellent 3D and IMAX special effects have maintained a certain theater chain, especially the high ticket price IMAX theater. Until the film was offline from North America, nearly 20 were still being screened, which also made the film full of potential, and eventually surpassed the US$375.88 million in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and US$389.21 million in "Jurassic Park 3", and took the throne of the annual box office champion in North America for US$413.55 million.

Similarly, in terms of global box office, Transformers also beat Jurassic Park 3's $985.33 million and Pirates of the Caribbean 3's $973.42 million, and locked the throne of the global box office champion with more than $1 billion.025 million.

This is also a movie starring Ryan, which has exceeded $1 billion in global box office for the first time since "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith".

These three films became the top three in the box office in North America and the world last year.

Box office is only part of the film's revenue. Under the operation of Walt Disney's entire industry chain, such popular films often only account for 30 or even 20% of the film's revenue.

Just after "Transformers" was launched from North America, the Blu-ray DVD of the film was officially launched. Due to the huge pre-order base, the two sets of DVD discs sold 6.8 million on the first day of their launch, and the sales volume in the first week reached more than 11.5 million.

This is also the highest first-week sales record of disc/video tape in the North American market so far, but in just one week, discs alone brought Disney $200 million in split revenue.

There is also the copyright of TV. The first round of TV broadcast of "Transformers" was handed over to ABC TV station, which directly brought in advertising revenue up to US$6 million. Then it logged into two major video websites, Tube and Hulu, and entered the Internet in paid on-demand.

At the same time, Netflix obtained the online rental business of the film. In less than ten days, the single film revenue of "Transformers" reached nearly 4 million US dollars.

Even if it is not considered a derivative peripheral product, the copyright operation of Disney-owned companies alone has enabled Transformers to generate more than 250 million US dollars in revenue for the group in less than a month.

Even if it is like the box office of a movie, these revenues will rapidly decrease over time, but this is not a theater chain that will be removed after a period of time, but a business that can be promoted for a long time.

What's more, there are Hasbro's toys that are almost crazy.

During the five months since the film was hit globally, Hasbro sold more than 37.5 million Transformers toys related to the film around the world, with a share income of up to US$300 million. Even if Disney could only share 30% of the profits, it was still a considerable income.

There are also cultural shirts, T-shirts, comics, stationery and other copyright transfer fees, which do not take much time. Disney's revenue in peripheral copyrights and derivatives will catch up with the global box office of the film.

Such a profitable video, Disney will put the sequel on the agenda even without Ryan's push.

Before the Oscars, "Transformers 2" entered the preparatory stage. Michael Bay and Industrial Light and Magic took the lead in launching the modeling and production of Transformers. In the first part, Optimus Prime highlighted the temptation of Megatron's completely degenerate evil forces will definitely appear, and new characters such as Soundwave, Hercules, Horizon and Arsey will also appear.

Among them, Megatron, who loves and fights with Optimus Prime, will inevitably be included.

There is also a script passed to the Pentagon. As the biggest sponsor of the film, they certainly have the power to express their opinions.

Of course, the pre-sale of the film, investment promotion and peripheral expansion work are being carried out. The Autobot Studio has been doing it.

The news feedback from the Pentagon has been reported that their sponsorship will be upgraded. Not only will the crew go to the USS Stanis aircraft carrier filming on the spot, but a large number of warships, aircraft, tanks and Marines will also dispatch a large number of warships, aircraft, tanks and Marines to assist the crew in filming. Under this free sponsorship mode, some suggestions made by the Ministry of Defense are not unnegotiable.

As for why the Pentagon is so enthusiastic?

After the release of "Transformers", a big discussion on American equipment was launched around the world, especially the F-22 Raptor fighter, which became popular overnight. Although this stealth fighter was not on the Pentagon for sale, it promoted other weapons.

According to reliable information received by Ryan, the Pentagon seems to have increased a lot of military orders in recent months.

Then there is propaganda to the US military. If we follow the presentation in the video, the US soldiers seem to be a military with strict discipline and friendly relationships with the people of the Middle East.

In fact, the differences in military disciplines of American soldiers...

These are not considered by Disney at all. All media groups, including the other side of the Pacific, are doing things to accept sponsorships and sing praises for others.

On the other hand, Disney's new film plans are also being launched one after another, such as the filming of "Naria Legend 2" has begun; "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" has entered the post-production stage; Kristen Steltou has received the first draft of the script for "Twilight: Twilight", the filming of "Thor" and "Iron Man 2" is about to end; Joss Whedon and the screenwriter of Marvel have finalized the first draft of the script for "Avengers"...

Marvel also ended the negotiations with Hugh Jackman. "Wolverine Prequel" is about to start filming, and Brian Singer re-enters the arms of surprise after experiencing the failure of "Return of Superman" and is adapting the new "X-Men" trilogy based on the comics.

"Sonny..."

Under the palm trees in the garden, Charlize was shaking around in front of the stroller with a rattle, "Call me... Godmother."

"Oh...oh..." Sandy, who blinked her beautiful blue eyes, said vaguely, "Mom...mi."

Putting down the script that Jenkins Film’s screenwriter just sent, Ryan stood up and stretched, walked to his daughter’s stroller, “Hi, Sunny.”

As soon as he waved, the little guy shouted reflexively, "Mom...mi."

"Call..." Ryan squatted beside him, gestured, "Dad...Dad."

"Mom...mi." The little guy seemed to be able to say this word.

The nurse walked here with the bottle at this time, and Charlize hurried over and said, "I'll feed her."

Seeing Charlize put the bottle in front of his daughter, Ryan made a gesture to silence the surroundings. The little guy had a bad habit of crying and making a fuss when eating if the sound was too noisy. Her mother was not here now, so how to coax her was a big trouble.

Fortunately, Sandy inherited his strengths and did not recognize his rawness. Soon after drinking milk, she closed her eyes and started to have a small rest.

Lisa, who had been sitting next to her drinking tea, walked over, "Ryan, I have packed a room for Sandy, I'll take her to rest."

"Okay." Ryan nodded, "Sonny is given to you for the time being."

Watching Lisa and the nurse pushing Sandy into the villa through the back door, Charlize walked to the white plastic table, sat in Ryan's seat just now, took the script in front of him, and asked while browsing quickly, "Is she in Los Angeles?"

Ryan knew who she was asking, took two tea cups, sat across from Charlize, poured black tea, "Nicole went to New York to discuss a contract with a director."

"No wonder you brought Sunny here." Charlize showed a clear look.

"Aren't you going to be a godmother?" Ryan took a sip of black tea and put down the cup. "Friendship should be cultivated from childhood."

"Don't worry, no matter what I think of her mother." After being together for so many years, Charlize had no intention of hiding it, "It will not extend to Sandy."

"If there is anything wrong with it," she said with a glaring eyes, "Ryan, it's all your fault."

"So..." Ryan spread his hands and said, "If you want to be a qualified godmother, you have to increase your chances of getting along with Sandy."

"I will always be more qualified than you, an unreliable father."

Shrugging, Charlize stopped talking, and focused on the open script, while Ryan savored tea and thought about his daughter's growth.

Sandy is about to be one year old. It is not a secret that he has a daughter among friends in the circle. He will definitely hold a small party at that time...

Suddenly, Charlize's words sounded again, interrupting his thoughts, "Ryan, is this the script you prepared for Natalie Portman to hit the Oscar for Best Director?"

“Just one of them.”

Hearing Ryan's words, Charlize asked in confusion, "This kind of subject..."

"A woman wants to win the Oscar for Best Director." Ryan looked at Charlize, and said, "It may not be enough for videos and PR alone. We also have to rely on the social and political situation."

"Charlie, you should be able to feel it." He continued, "Since last year, mainstream society has had more reflection on the Iraq War, and over time, this voice will inevitably become stronger, and even a strong withdrawal of troops from Iraq will be formed before and after the next presidential election."

"I think I get it." Charlize closed the script.

"The Oscars have never been away from politics." Ryan put the script away, "just like Argo won the best film, the political situation sometimes has a huge impact on the ownership of the award."

"I knew this would have happened," Charlize said deliberately, "I went to learn to be a director at the beginning."

"Hey, Miss Billionaire." Ryan knew she was joking and joked, "I have no objection if you are willing to give up the hard-working brand."
