March 26.
Since the start of the casting of "Harry Potter" on March 9, it has lasted a full 18 days, and the main actors have basically been finalized.
Harry Potter: This role is played by Daniel;
Ron Weasley: played by Rupert Grint;
Hermione: played by Emma Watson;
The Hogwarts Iron Triangle of the original drama has not changed.
"I have to say that the selection of people in the last Warner life was really powerful."
When Zhuke opened the casting of "Harry Potter", he considered whether the choice of the main actors would change.
However, when Zhuke started the casting plan, after up to 8 rounds of selection, he found that Daniel, Emma, and Rupert really fit the role of the Hogwarts Iron Triangle.
Think about it too.
In the original time and space history, Warner started 10 rounds of selection in order to choose the role, and finally decided the candidate.
Daniel's home.
"Do you have to sign a contract for the entire series?" Daniel's father hesitated.
"Can you sign a three-part contract first?" Daniel's mother agreed.
boom!
The agent slapped the table outrageously and roared: "What do I say you are thinking?"
"Without signing the contract for the entire series, do you think Wald Pictures will choose Daniel to play Harry Potter? Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, but for Wald Pictures, they always It can be substituted to replace Daniel."
"Also, the first film is less paid, so what?"
"As long as the "Harry Potter" movie is successful, it means that Daniel will be famous all over the world!"
"At that time, when the second and third parts are being filmed, although there are contractual restrictions, we can definitely propose to amend the contract at that time, and we are not afraid that they will not compromise."
The agent said solemnly: "What do you think so much now? If you hesitate, the production company is determined to replace it."
Suddenly, Daniel's parents looked shocked.
In the face of production companies, they have always been in a weak position.
at the same time.
Emma Watson's home.
"Signed a contract for the entire series?"
Unlike the hesitation of Daniel's parents, Emma Watson's parents accepted all the content of the contract without hesitation.
"Just kidding, fools will refuse."
"The $500,000 salary is a low salary in Hollywood A-class productions, but this is an opportunity."
"As long as we grasp it, there will be 100 500,000 U.S. dollars in the future!"
Not only did Emma Watson's parents agree very happily, but the other role actors, their parents and agents also accepted the contract without hesitation.
Who dares to let go of the chance to become famous in one fell swoop?
It really is a Chinese cabbage movie with a production cost of 130 million US dollars!
.......
Los Angeles, Wald Pictures.
"We have signed a long-term contract, that's good. In this way, in the subsequent series of movies, even if the young actors want to modify the contract and increase the pay and dividends, we will also take the lead and ensure that we are to the greatest extent possible. Interests." Zhu Ke smiled.
Think about the last life.
The eighth movie of "Harry Potter", which is the eve of the last filming of the series, the three protagonists, Daniel, Emma, and Rupert, all opened their mouths. Not only did they demand up to 20 million US dollars in pay, but also The huge box office dividends are completely slaughtered by the production company Warner Pictures.
Can you bear it?
If they really agreed to their request, then Warner invested 200 million US dollars, and the money earned in the end was divided among the little actors, leaving only a little bit of profit for Warner. Is there any point in working on this? ?
"I will never give them a chance to speak loudly!"
"If there is really such a day, Lao Tzu will definitely follow Warner's example and use special means to form losses on the books, so that you won't get a dime dividend!"
Zucker thought fiercely.
"Boss, this is the latest box office report for "My Grand Greek Wedding" you want. Alexander submitted a report to Zucker.
"That has to be seen." Zhu Ke laughed.
"Not bad!"
As soon as he scanned the contents of the report, Zhu Ke showed a smile.
US$201 million!
"My Grand Greek Wedding" was released for 44 days, and the cumulative box office in North America was as high as 201 million U.S. dollars. It currently ranks first in the North American box office rankings in 1999.
"What about overseas?" Zhu Ke asked again.
"Boss, overseas, our box office has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. If nothing else, the box office in North America can increase by 40-60 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office can increase by 20-40 million US dollars. That is to say. Said, "My Grand Wedding in Greece" global box office is expected to hit 360-400 million U.S. dollars."
Alexander exclaimed: "I really shouldn't believe that a film with a production cost of 5 million US dollars can get such a high box office."
He was shocked.
In fact, the major film companies in Hollywood are also stunned.
The movie "My Grand Greek Wedding" broke the box office record of North American romance comedy movies in one fell swoop.
The production cost of 5 million U.S. dollars, the global box office is expected to be nearly 400 million U.S. dollars!
The profit ratio is up to 80 times!
Although this revenue ratio is not the highest in Hollywood, it can definitely make many people go crazy.
"Only at the box office, we can make about 150 million U.S. dollars, plus offline DVD and video tape revenue, peripheral licensing, etc., and our profit is at least 250 million U.S. dollars." Alexander said excitedly.
250 million dollars!
Not to mention the small and medium-sized film companies in Hollywood, they are the top six in Hollywood. In addition to the popular films, few single films can make such high profits.
Jealous!
"Damn Wald Pictures, they are really lucky."
"I also watched the "My Grand Greek Wedding" stage play. Why didn't I realize that it could be put on the big screen? Damn, this opportunity should have been mine."
Many film company bosses are jealous.
"Humph!"
Time Warner Chairman Steve Rose snorted coldly: "Slacken, go proud as much as you want. You will cry in the future when I get my hands free."
The assistant on the side suddenly fell silent.
Steve Rose didn't intend to stop there, he was determined to show Zhuke a good look.
However, Zhuke is the same.
Zhuke is waiting for the opportunity!
As we all know, in 2000, AOL will offer up to 181 billion U.S. dollars in the form of cash + shares to fully acquire Time Warner's equity. The two form the world's largest media group company, and there is no dispute. Kind of giant enterprise.
but!
This merger of the old and new media giants was evaluated by posterity as the most failed merger and acquisition at the beginning of the century!
AOL’s main business ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is to provide dial-up Internet services, but with the rise of Internet broadband services, it seems to be eliminated by the times.
Coupled with the outbreak of the Internet bubble, it undoubtedly caused huge losses to Time Warner!
"This is my chance!"
"Take advantage of this opportunity, I must cut a piece of meat from Warner, let you know that I am not easy to mess with Zhuke Wald."
Zhu Ke swears to himself.
However, while Zhu Ke was still waiting for the opportunity, Warner made a lot of small moves in a targeted manner.
Mainly for the upcoming 300 red pants of Wald Pictures, oh, "Spartan 300 Warriors"!
