Chapter 411 Super Gold Mine!

. "Dance of My Life 2" won the North American weekly box office championship from September 30 to October 6 with a box office of 20.87 million (-45.1%). This is the 9th weekly championship trophy that Flame Movie won this year, accounting for 23% of the 39 numbers, which is more than any company; next DreamWorks' animated comedy "Super Invincible Master: The Curse of the Human Rabbit" won the weekly championship from October 7 to 13 with a box office of 21.55 million; Colombia's horror film "Ghost Fog" won the weekly championship from October 14 to 20 with 14.24 million.

11.12 million (-46.7%), 4.97 million (-55.3%), and the total box office of "step-up2" in North America rose to 74.99 million US dollars four weeks after its release. It is already very satisfactory to achieve this gratifying result in this off-season of the film market.

The progress of Flame Movie will not stop. The production department of the project is getting busier and busier. With the company's products and Wang Yang's recommendation, the two dog movies scheduled to be released in 2007 have new trends.

The low-cost "The Story of Hachiko" invited Todd Rebmann as the first producer. His previous films such as "Hala Hairman" and the dog films "Long Haired Dog" released next year, and "Antarctic Adventure" were planned and produced. This is his first time to take over the production business. And F is sending an invitation to direct and screenwriter to French director Luc Jacques. The documentary "The Diary of the Emperor Penguin" released this year performed amazingly, with the freshness of rotten tomatoes as high as 94%, and the box office in North America has reached 76 million.

But there are huge differences between documentaries and drama films and commercial films. He is not a celebrity among Hollywood filmmakers. Of course, Luc Jacques himself is not interested in popcorn. The production department believes that Jacques has the first-class ability to deal with the relationship between humans, animals, and nature, and has rich experience in animal shooting. It is very suitable for directing "The Story of Hachiko" since the commercial xing is not strong, then it will be transformed into a touching film with a very high reputation. The later sales will make up for the shortcomings of the box office, and the performance in the Asian market is worth looking forward to.

However, ff is choosing, and Luc Jacques is also choosing. His attitude is quite tempted, but the current family drama script "Fox and the Children" he has written is unwilling to postpone the production, so it still takes time to consider it.

However, Wang Yang, who has watched the 50% fresh "Fox and the Child" in advance, knew one of Luc Jacques' big shortcomings. He was probably used to the rhythm of the documentary. He told the story very slowly, resulting in beautiful scenes but the narrative structure was out of control. The young Jacques could not master the plot alone. "hachi" was a grand plan launched by Wang Yang, so he naturally would not sit by and watch it mess up. The solution was very simple. If Jacques directed and written, then another person would be added to the adaptation of the script, responsible for the construction and inspection of the commercial aspects; when editing the film later, an experienced editor would need to be asked to do it.

The medium-cost "Marley and Me" found Jill Nate as the first producer. His successful films in recent years include "Pig Head, Where is My Car?", "Sniper Telephone Booth", etc.; the screenwriter invited Scott Frank and Don Ross, and they will adapt this best-selling novel into a movie script together.

Some film dealers invite producers to produce projects, so naturally the producers have good project ideas to find film dealers to invest. Recently, for Greg Muradian, a producer who runs his own independent production company, "Maverick-films", something fantastic suddenly happened! The reason is that he is optimistic that a supernatural romantic novel "Twilight" can be moved to the big screen. He contacted several film dealers and almost all the answers he received: "No value."

This is not surprising. There are so many movies in Hollywood that are gimmicks of vampires and werewolf. How many of them have been successful? Even if you want to make such a story, why spend a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights of the novel? Just find a screenwriter to write one. Besides, there is a series of "The Legend of the Night" on the market now, and another movie of the same type has been released. How many people will watch it?

In fact, the original V movie of "Twilight" intends to make it into a movie, but the project was put on hold and Meyer wrote the story into a novel and published it. Now there is a novel manuscript in the office of the production department of Para Méng. But no matter what the script is, Greg Muradian thinks "Twilight" is really different. It has a special mi-like temperament, which is a love story, not an adventure action movie.

But the filmmakers didn't care. Muradian thought that he would have to wait until the sales of "Twilight" became more convincing, and the filmmakers probably would have to pay attention to it. However, at this time, Flame Movies seemed to have a great interest!

In fact, before many novels were published, some filmmakers and producers could read their original manuscripts and look for new materials that could be made into movies. This depends on the author and publisher's connections and influence. "Twilight" author Stephanie Mayer is just a 32-year-old ordinary full-time family leader. She had no writing qualifications before, which was also the reason why Pyrameng lacked confidence. The first book "Twilight" that was put on the shelves on October 5 was only 75,000 copies. Brown-and-company Publishing House would never have thought it would be the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

So the producers delivered to "Muzzy" before it was released were mostly Greg Muradian's level, and the Flame Film Production Department, which has always been paying attention to best-selling books, also read it and immediately began to pay attention! So this is not a project recommended by Muradian, but Meyer and brown-and-company Publishing House need a producer to communicate with the film company, and Muradian is such an intermediary.

According to normal market analysis, what ff got is that the vampire theme of "The Sè" really lacks novelty, "universal accepted widespread xing" in other words, "old-blooded", the essence of high school students' love stories lacks grand scenes and profound themes. Obviously, it is not a very attractive project, and it seems that it is better to invest money in a youth campus movie; and the popularity of this novel is still an unknown, can it still become "Harry-Bote"? Don't forget that best-selling books does not mean box office sales.

But Vice President Lin Wei felt that "The Sè" is full of charm and unique attraction. You cannot preconceive it as "old-fashioned" and "no market value" labels just because it is a vampire background. It has not even read the novel. It really describes a heroic love story, which is a big seller. People who have re-examined it think it is indeed pretty good. There is an interesting contrast between vampire culture and adolescent adolescents. Perhaps this will attract a large number of young viewers. You might as well consider trying to adapt it into a film with a production cost of 230 million. If it is well operated, it will have a great hope that the box office will exceed 100 million.

In fact, the ending of things has long been destined. In any case, Fire will not underestimate "Twilight", because young-boss said: "I love Bella! I love Edward! We must win the copyright of its filming!" "The Capture of Las Vegas", "The Demon Wearing Prada" has been successfully brought to the screen by Fantasy Young. The current best-selling project is also "Marley and Me". His eyes will not go wrong, and the production department who received the instructions will be transported at a high speed.

In this world today, only Wang Yang knows the horror of "Twilight". Not to mention its book sales, looking at the results of its series of films in the future, how many film chambers of films regretted it and stamped their feet? Shouted: "God! Why!? Why!?"...

If Pyrameng pays attention to it, it wouldn't be Tingfeng Entertainment's turn to produce this series. Tingfeng is an independent film company that mainly publishes DVDs for films. It has cooperated with many independent film manufacturers and has occasionally participated in production investments in recent years, such as "American Pie", "Memory Fragments", "Smiths", "Brothers of Grimm", etc. It was originally a desperate bet by the time when he purchased the copyright of the "Twilight" series in 2007 and spent 37 million to produce "Twilight Sè", Tingfeng was already a desperate bet. If this risk-filled attempt was a failure, its financial statements would be very ugly.

Moreover, the peak theater distribution capabilities and experience are not high, so if other independent film companies pay enough attention to it, the production fee of "Twilight" will not be so cold that it cannot reach even 50 million. Starting from the mtv movie giving up "Twilight", everything is a coincidence, and then one business miracle after another has been created.

Although its series of films have little reputation in the film criticism industry, the freshness of the four films is 49%, 28%, 49%, and 25%, its box office is enough to say everything. In 2008, the first "Sè" cost 37 million, the cost of North America is 100 million, the global box office in 2009, the second "New Moon" cost 50 million, and in 2010, the third "Lunar Eclipse" 68 million into 2"...

Only the first four parts had a total production cost of 265 million yuan, and they frantically received 100 million yuan in global box office! Various post-sales such as DVDs are bound to be an astonishing number.

If Flame Movie successfully recruits it to its own business, it can be said to be lucky. "Twilight" not only brings huge profits and further development capital space to the group, but also has huge popularity from teenagers. Is it not a happy thing to have such a mi-like movie? Now it is looking for investors, and Flame Movie has no reason to miss it.

However, it was also from the fact that the MTV movie gave up the story, especially now that the novel is selling better and better, Stephanie Mayer is not in a hurry to adapt the film and television, and she will not sell the copyright easily and recklessly. The Flame Movie knows that once the news of their great interest in "The Sè" is leaked, it is okay, but it is the production department's idea, but it will definitely attract the attention of filmmakers. If it is particularly aroused by the Pyra Méng, what is waiting for will be a fierce battle, and it seems that it cannot be treated as a treasure too much?

"No! Don't be afraid of competition. As long as we are good at being ourselves, show our sincerity, respect and determination, Meyer will choose Fire." Wang Yang told Mark Slunt, Lin Wei and others, and everyone agreed.@.
