Chapter 655 Disney's Oldest Princess

Another year is coming to an end, and the past twelve months have been turbulent in the world, many of which have been closely tied to Hollywood.

The federal government finally settled Afghanistan and Iraq temporarily, and Iran jumped out again and launched a public opinion war against the American culture represented by Hollywood. Although Iran was finally disgraced, they restarted the nuclear test, which made the situation in the Middle East further turbulent. disturbed.

All because of one movie, Argo, which far exceeded Ryan's expectations.

He didn't expect that the Iranian government's nerves would be so sensitive. Thinking about the number one military power in the universe that was infinitely smeared by Hollywood, no matter what remarks were made here, those fat guys would always stand still.

Of course, if anyone irritated them, they would go and beat the largest country in the universe, which was a tried-and-true trick.

No matter who messes with me, I'm going to beat up the people on the south side. This is the best villain in the movie.

After Christmas, Argo was withdrawn from the last fifteen theaters and ended its North American screening.

Thanks to the support of the Iranians, the film's final North American box office was as high as 215.05 million US dollars, and the global box office was infinitely close to 350 million US dollars, including the overseas regions that have been released.

However, the overseas regions where the film can be released are basically released, and the countries that have not yet released it will basically not introduce such extremely political films, and the final box office is like this.

However, with a total investment of more than 60 million US dollars, the global box office of more than 300 million US dollars was exchanged, which is definitely a typical example of low cost and high profit.

After deducting a series of expenses including the $20 million box office share paid to Ryan personally, Disney can still make a profit of about $40 million at the box office. In recent movies, it is true Rare.

If it's not a specific theme, Disney wants to make a sequel.

Maybe when Antonio Mendez's other memoirs come out, we can continue to work together?

Sitting in the office chair, Ryan was checking the latest release status report of Argo. Still thinking about it.

Of course, the biggest profit point of this film is still in the surrounding area. Ryan temporarily suppressed the TV and DVD copyrights of Argo, and everything will be said after the Oscar ceremony in more than two months.

Disney is doing aggressive PR for the film.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of winning the best picture is very high.

You must know that the Iranian government has lost face in the public opinion war, and almost pointed at Hollywood's nose and scolded Hollywood as a lackey for spreading the ideas of American imperialism. The federal government also has two aircraft carrier battle groups moored in the Persian Gulf. What kind of choice Oscar, who has never been able to get rid of politics, will make, in fact, does not have to think about it at all.

If there is an Iranian film that reflects social reality to enter the Oscar competition, it will definitely win the best foreign language film statuette.

Although after the Iranian government attacked Ryan, the media under its banner tried their best to smear the Iranian government, but Ryan has never made any over-the-line remarks in public. In his current position, some words cannot be easily said.

What's more, there is George Clooney, who is the director, at the front. The other party is very smart and understands what to do to increase his weight in winning the Best Director nomination. While holding the young and beautiful female lawyer, I fully criticized the Iranian government for interfering with Hollywood's creative freedom.

Freedom, in this country, there is no slogan more deeply rooted in people's hearts than this word.

After pressing the intercom and having the secretary bring a new cup of coffee, Ryan turned his attention to other Disney projects.

Disney's new fairy tale project, Enchanted, piqued his interest a little. Because the actor who plays the nympho princess is over 30 years old, this is definitely the oldest princess in Walt Disney's history.

However, after seeing the actor's name, Ryan canceled the plan to intervene. Amy Adams was born with a baby face. As long as she put on makeup and played a princess under twenty years old, it would not be a problem.

speak up. The actress's famous work Cat and Mouse Game was advanced by herself, perhaps this is also an alternative compensation.

Later, he saw a proposal for Disney to trial a 3D film.

This is a suggestion from the management of Disney's film industry, and I hope that Disney, like Warner, will start work in this area as soon as possible.

Ryan had already made plans for this. Jurassic Park 3 will be produced with 3D technology, allowing the dinosaurs to shock the world once again. The screenwriting team has already written the script, and the story is not important. The focus of the movie is on the dinosaurs.

When Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor open their bloody mouths and bite in front of the audience, the shock is simply a big killer in this era.

This year's Christmas season, Robert Zemeckis' 3D animated feature Polar Express, from the characters to the storyline, was almost spit out by the audience, but there were still many people queuing up to buy tickets, just for the few 3d cinema hall.

The 3D effect shown in the film was criticized by professional film critics as a new act of making money by businessmen, but the audience was full of praise. Today is not the era when 3D gradually became popular. Most of the few 3D films in the past were fake 3D converted later. , such as The Polar Express such a film with absolutely excellent 3D effects, there are very few in the whole world today.

The most direct effect of this film is to drive the enthusiasm of major Hollywood production companies for 3D.

Because the company controlled by Ryan and James Cameron holds most of the new 3D and imax patents, Disney naturally wants to maximize this advantage.

As long as the late stage of The Hunger Games is completed, Kathryn Kennedy will turn to the preparations for Jurassic Park 3, and Ryan is now considering whether or not Transformers should be 3D.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ryan shook his head, and decided to wait until after talking with Michael Bay.

Unlike other media groups, the film industry is the core industry of Walt Disney. Most of its businesses, including amusement parks and TV stations, are based on excellent film and television works. Those projects that can drive peripheral products are Disney's key productions. s work.

For example, the global box office of Superman Family has exceeded 600 million US dollars, and the box office has only recovered the cost. In the peripheral area, in just over half a year, Disney's net profit has reached more than 145 million US dollars. That's not counting the ad dollars that the film received when it was later aired on Disney Television.

Compared with the Harry Potter series, it is a lot worse.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released for a month, and the North American box office 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 Everyone has shelled out a dollar for a movie merchandising.

Of course, throughout the history of Hollywood, 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, rushed back to Beverly Hills, and went directly to Wilshere Avenue, where commercial buildings are concentrated. There are countless top department stores on this street, and Beverly Shopping is nearby. The center is also a favorite of many celebrities, with nearly 180 specialty stores in the center.

One of the ones that has just been arranged is the 'ct' fashion brand belonging to Charlize.

South African Diamond followed the advice of the business team. The brand’s foothold will not be luxury, nor does it have that heritage. The target consumer group is relatively civilian, in other words, the most important middle-class group in the United States.

I said that it is actually the best choice for you to do the endorsement yourself.

The store has not yet opened. Ryan is standing in the center of the store with his arms on his chest. Opposite is 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. America's teenagers are going crazy for her.

You know, Ryan, she added, Alison just attended the ribbon-cutting of the flagship store in New York, and the day's stock was almost sold out by those crazy young people.

How much did she charge for the endorsement? Ryan laughed.

We haven't discussed it in detail yet. Charlize shrugged and said indifferently, But she said she wanted ten percent of the shares in your hands.

Let's do it. Ryan thought for a while, When she comes back from the publicity, I will transfer the shares in my hand to you.

He shook his finger and interrupted what Charlize wanted to refuse, Darling, you know, I don't have the time or energy to devote to this, you need enough equity to recruit talent.

It is impossible for a new fashion company to grow without sufficient investment and excellent teamwork.

Okay, it's time for lunch. Ryan looked at his watch and pulled Charlize. Nothing is more important than your body.

How about you treat me? Charlize turned to look at him.

no problem.

After Charlize explained a few words to the person in charge of the store, Ryan took her out and said, I'll cook when I get home.

never mind.

Walking to Ryan's side, Charlize showed a terrifying expression, It's better to order takeout.

Going down to the parking lot through the elevator, Ryan started the car and drove Charlize to the manor. There was no need to order takeout. When he left Disney, he informed Lisa to let the chef of the manor prepare lunch.

Would you like to go back to South Africa after the New Year? After turning off the busy Wilshere Avenue, Ryan increased the speed, Charlize adjusted his seat belt a little, and said, Yeah, mother wants to go home and see, 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.
