Many people who invest in Hollywood's first work often need to pay tuition, and "Air Combat Heroes" is undoubtedly David Ellison's first high tuition fee in Hollywood.

According to the trajectory of the past, such tuition David Ellison still has to pay many times.

Perhaps luckily or unfortunately, David Ellison met Ronan and blended in with Hollywood at a faster pace, with the hope of fighting for control of a truly top-tier mega company.

And then there's Larry Ellison's support for David Ellison is really, really strong.

He is said to have invested a lot of money in David Ellison's foundation.

In this way, people who are born to stand at the end of success from the starting point can only be envious and jealous of others.

Maple Leaf Pictures' next key film project is "First Blood 4", Stallone has already finished filming this film, and it may be released in the second half of the year or early next year.

David Ellison and Ryan Cavanno would like to work more with Relativity Entertainment on specific film projects, but Ronan won't let up on this until they can find another project like "First Blood 4."

Besides, Maple Leaf Pictures now has Stallone as a long-term partner.

Stallone is a very thoughtful director, always wanting to reinvent the glory of Hollywood's classic action movies, and is also lobbying everywhere, and the cooperation with Maple Leaf Pictures is also a strong combination.

Moreover, Stallone has enough capital, even if he loses, his family still has 3,000 gold to press.

Someone once said that the most difficult thing in life is to make a choice, what should you do when the opportunity to choose one of the three is in front of you?

A real man walks the world with a sword and never makes a choice.

The next week after the release of "Air Combat Heroes", another masterpiece of Relativity Entertainment, "Fast and Furious 3", premiered in North America.

This sequel completely abandons Donald's design, and uses Paul Walker's male protagonist to lead one of the new twin male protagonists, Dwayne Johnson, so as to build a racing family around these two characters with "logging tired" as the core concept.

"Fast and Furious 2" completely abandoned Dominic Toretto, and "Fast and Furious 3" didn't even mention it.

At the premiere, all the members of the racing family also appeared, and the multi-ethnic nature of the main cast group is also conducive to attracting a wider target audience.

The whole film implements the ideas of Ronan and Jessica Felton, closely revolving around action scenes and drag racing scenes, with an unprecedented explosiveness and unsparing catharsis.

Coupled with the active publicity and distribution of Embassy Pictures, the film has exploded with a lot of vitality since its release.

In the first weekend of its release in North America, "Fast and Furious 3" earned $68.75 million in one fell swoop, creating the best opening box office in the series.

In just ten days, the film grossed more than $120 million at the North American box office.

This series was successfully revitalized, and "Fast and Furious 4" was also put on the agenda.

And unlike the previous ones, starting from the fourth part, Shahai Entertainment will increase investment to build the "Fast and Furious" series into a quasi-first-line commercial production.

New characters will be introduced in the future to increase the appeal of the film in overseas regions.

Ronan knows very well that overseas is an important market for the "Fast and Furious" series, and the future overseas revenue will inevitably be higher than that of North America, and it is necessary to increase the appeal of the film overseas.

For example, when the film market on the other side of the Pacific can develop further, the racing family will inevitably introduce a Chinese-American character.

The film market on the other side of the Pacific has not yet exploded, and it has only just gained momentum in recent years, and the income of Hollywood movies there is very limited, and it can't even compare with the stick market next door.

This point cannot be resolved at all by the two sides of the Pacific without negotiating a new WTO agreement.

After all, the box office share of the film market directly involves the WTO agreement between the two sides, and cannot be decided by a single person or company.

Hollywood's interests in this regard are aligned, and Hollywood's mid-to-large companies, including Relativity Entertainment and the Big Six, have been lobbying Washington authorities to further open up the film market across the Pacific.

Of course, even if an agreement can be reached, there will be certain restrictions on Hollywood films over there.

It's not just this market that's restricting Hollywood films.

In November 1994, the Hollywood film "The End of the World" became the first part of the account film imported by the East, and created a box office miracle of 25 million that year, which made Hollywood imported blockbusters famous, and the film market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean became a rumor, and once became the "elixir" when the film market was sluggish.

Since then, a series of films such as "True Lies", "The Lion King", "Forrest Gump" and "Life and Death" have performed very well at the box office in China.

Perhaps in the memories of many post-80s generations, there are still fond memories of sneaking into the theater to watch Leonardo paint Kate Winslet.

In this paragraph, that era appeared directly in the theater, and it feels incredible when you think about it.

It probably has a lot to do with a high-level official directly praising the film.

In 2001, the two sides formally signed a bilateral WTO agreement, which clearly stipulates that the film industry is allowed to import 20 commercial blockbusters in the form of account sharing each year, and the proportion of account sharing at that time was 13%.

The agreement is valid for 10 years.

It's not easy to revise this agreement in advance, and it's even more difficult to get a 25 percent box office share.

Hollywood is promoting more than these, there are two extremely important points: one is to introduce international audit institutions to supervise the box office of the Oriental film market, and the other is to increase the number of imported films.

In the past, after 2012, the Oriental film industry was faced with the imminent increase in overseas film quotas, and the Oriental film industry was full of sorrow at that time.

But it has been proved that oriental films do not have to be arrogant in the face of Hollywood, only in the competition can they become bigger and stronger, and the same is true for movies.

Blindly seeking protection is counterproductive.

Someone once said: "The opening of the Oriental Film Market to Hollywood has ruined those filmmakers who have achieved some kind of success by luck, by relying on the so-called star lineup, by eating old books, and by manipulating the market with black hands. ”

It is no exaggeration to say that the audience is also one of the biggest beneficiaries.

What viewer doesn't love to see a variety of movie genres on the big screen?

If the market is closed, there is a pool of stagnant water inside, and anyone can imagine what movies can only be seen in the theater.

Of course, certain restrictions are also necessary.

Hollywood's huge industrialization system has crushed the Hong Kong film industry, which was easily crushed without even being able to resist.

The nascent oriental film industry needs time and space to grow.

In August, Relativity Entertainment's only one film, "Fast and Furious 3", was released, and its box office success brought infinite possibilities for subsequent series.

By the end of the month, Fast & Furious 3 grossed nearly $200 million in North America and more than $350 million worldwide, making it no longer difficult to recoup your investment at the box office.

In addition, "Spartan 300 Warriors" officially dropped from North America after exhausting all the heat of the theater market.

The North American box office of this unique comic book adaptation finally stopped at $256.89 million.

At present, the global box office of the film has crossed the $500 million mark, and although the subsequent growth is slow, it will continue to appear in the film market in more than ten countries and regions.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is a super hit, and Relativity Entertainment is naturally the biggest winner.

Director Zack Schneider has also benefited greatly.

Because of the box office success of this film, Warner Bros. trusted Zack Schneider enough to be described as doubling, not only giving him the final editing rights of "Watchmen", but also fully involved him in the process and style of designing the Justice League Cinematic Universe project.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics, at the suggestion of Zack Snyder, are said to have agreed to use a paint-like style like "The Three Hundred Spartans."

This is not only brought by "Spartan 300 Warriors", but also related to the "Batman" series that Ronan collaborated with Warner Bros.

Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight has completed preliminary editing, and its darkened visual style has been praised by almost all of the top characters in Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

These have driven the Justice League Cinematic Universe to run towards the once dark style without regrets.

If nothing else, it won't be long before "Martha" will shake up the North American film market again.

At the end of August, a song of ice and fire: Game of Thrones officially confirmed the director.

With a budget of $5 million for a single episode and a total budget of $60 million for the first season, this huge investment made it impossible for Ronan to use a new talent.

After being recommended by the CAA and after careful consideration, Ronan chose David Nat as the director.

This seems to be a little famous, but he is well-known in the TV drama production industry, and has directed many successful American dramas such as "Band of Brothers" and "The X-Files".

In terms of actors, the first to be determined is Peter Dinklage, and Shahai Entertainment directly signed a long-term contract with him that includes movies and TV series.

Hollywood has never had a shortage of actors, but genres like Peter Dinklage are definitely a rare resource.

Gnomes with outstanding acting skills, even in Hollywood, are not so easy to find.

Peter Dinklage will star as Tyrion Lannister, the little devil, in the series.

This dwarf, who shot his father on the toilet bowl, used to be one of the most brilliant characters in the early stage of the plot.

Once a line of the little devil made Ronan extremely impressed.

"Duke Tywin Lannister didn't pull out the gold until he died. ”

Sean Bean, who has played Boromir, plays Eddard Stark, an actor who is always ruthlessly killed by various means in movies, and will be beheaded again.

Eddard Stark is undoubtedly a rare good guy in the series, a true knight, but unfortunately his political wisdom is almost zero, and his single-handed operation in King's Landing not only killed himself, but also ruined the wolf family.
