"Martin, what are you talking about?"

Spielberg came over, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were good friends, and this is something that the whole world knows!

“… Burn it after chatting!"

"Speaking of burning after reading," Stephen looked at Zhang Junsheng and asked seriously, "Is there really big data to promote?"

“… I don't know about this, but before the project was established, they did calculate the reserve audience. ”

Of course, Zhang Junsheng couldn't tell the truth to outsiders, so he replied half-truthfully.

"The pinnacle has now officially replaced Lionsgate as Hollywood's traditional six vigilant existences!"

"No way, who made his boss not an American!"

"Not only that, but the expansion of the summit in the past few years has seriously affected the traditional earnings..."

"It's like a dream factory back then?"

Why did DreamWorks go out of business?

Of course, it is because it touches the interests of the six majors!

Pinnacle is now doing more than the DreamWorks of the year!

"Inception", which was released worldwide last month and lasted nearly a year, finally earned $921.14 million at the global box office.

At the same time, the DVD of Inception was released in North America, and it still sold nearly $130 million in sales despite the continued decline of the entire industry.

The limited edition DVD/Blu-ray set released this time is different from the previous ones and has a certain collectible value.

The limited-edition set includes a number of souvenirs: a limited-edition aluminum dream machine suitcase, a user manual for the portable automatic Somnacin IV injector, a set of postcards, a spinning top, and three discs of one DVD, one Blu-ray and one digital copy.

Once the product was introduced to the market, it was an avid cult among Inception fans, selling more than $35 million in North America alone in just ten days.

For a hit film like "Inception", there are too many peripheral projects that can bring profit.

Licensed adaptations of games, stage plays, and more...

But in the eyes of the Warner Bros. people, the project Inception was supposed to belong to them, and the pinnacle was the shameless thief!

Zhang Junsheng smiled: "The summit is different from DreamWorks, we still insist on small and medium-cost original films, and produce up to two blockbusters every year!"

"It's the same if it's listed?"

“… If there are good projects, we will definitely make a move, but the question is, are there many good projects in Hollywood now?"

"The top 10 movies at the North American box office last year, except for "Inception" and "Untouchable", were all blockbusters adapted from superheroes!"

Zhang Junsheng shrugged: "It's understandable, after all, this is the best era for superheroes." ”

After chatting about some other things, Zhang Junsheng said goodbye and left...

To be honest, Zhang Junsheng originally thought that Spielberg might want to change partners, after all, his cooperation with Paramount has lasted too long, and it may be a little boring...

Just thinking about it.

Spielberg is not short of funds, his reputation is here, as long as the project is approved, there will be a bunch of people investing in the cliff, and most of them are from outside the circle...

The companies in the circle understand the operating rules of the industry, where is it convenient to invest outside the circle?

……

The North American box office of "Untouchable" has passed 300 million, and the role of the awards season is still very useful.

After the Union Awards, the Oscar nominations were officially announced, and "Untouchable" received eight nominations, Best Costume, Best Soundtrack, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Picture...

12 nominations behind The King's Speech.

Inception also received eight nominations, most of which, of course, were technical awards...

The Oscars have obvious tendencies in the most sci-fi films!

Peak, office.

Zhang Junsheng admonished Wen Ziren: "Now that the list of nominees is out, let their actions be a little more restrained." ”

According to the regulations of the academy, after the list of nominees is announced, the filmmaker can no longer carry out public relations work...

But this is obviously impossible, not to mention that many members of the academy are part of the Hollywood industry.

In the filming or preparation of many films, it is unavoidable that some of the filmmakers involved in the Oscars will gradually come into contact with members of the academy.

The Academy's Executive Committee is aware of this, as long as it doesn't go too far.

They will turn a blind eye accordingly.

This is a game of money and fame, and if all these factors are removed, there is no need for this game to be played.

However, there are some things that can't be overdone, otherwise it will be more than worth the loss to really let the academy catch the typical.

Nicolas Châttier, the producer of "Bomb Disposal Unit," called the judges and asked them to vote for his film instead of "that $500 million movie" (referring to "Avatar").

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences banned Nicholas from the Oscars

"Lucas is interested in selling his Lucasfilm!"

"Walter Lucasfilm, George Lucas, Star Wars one?"

"That's right!" Wen Ziren then added: "At present, the top bidders are Disney and Fox, and they have already shouted a price of $3.8 billion!"

“… You want me to buy it?"

"That's right!" Wen Ziren looked at Rob Freman next to him, he is the executive vice president of Summit Entertainment...

In fact, Pinnacle was doing overseas consignment sales at the beginning, and made a few low-budget horror films with good box office feedback, so I decided to continue along this path...

It's a pity that in those years, horror films were basically monopolized by Lionsgate...

Rob Freman coughed: "The assets in Lucasfilm's hands are indeed attractive, but there are also loss-making divisions such as Lucasfilm Animation, Lucasfilm Online and Lucasgames Games, and Lucasfilm is saddled with close to $1.5 billion in debt... If the price is below 4 billion, you can consider making a move!"

“… Forget it, I'm a Chinese to buy Star Wars, it's not suitable..."

It's like a foreigner bought "Journey to the West", are you happy?

Definitely not happy, even if he said that he was a loyal fan of Wu Chengen, no!

Zhang Junsheng certainly knows how lucrative Star Wars is, but... But he didn't feel anything about it, it didn't make sense for the lightsabar to fight around, and the "Star Wars" series later became a holy place for 'White Left' and 'Black Lives Matter'...

"Let's put our energy into The Hunger Games!"

Wen Ziren nodded, and said by the way: "...The production cost of the last episode of "Twilight" is as high as 90 million US dollars..."

“… So expensive?"

"There is no way, the actors collectively asked for a higher salary, and had to offer a salary of 15 million..."

“… Forget it, let's compensate them!"

There is another "Twilight Zone", of course, it will be released separately, and the global box office will definitely exceed one billion...

It's understandable to get paid more, after all, several of the main actors signed three-film contracts, and they didn't get much paid.

Rob Freman asked, "... Stephanie Mayer's new book "The Host", should we take the rights to adapt it?"

"Didn't you say it before? It's too expensive, $20 million, we can't accept it. ”
