Chapter 501: Dumbo

Since last year, entertainment reality shows have suddenly risen a new trend.

After "American Idol" and "Brave Warrior", Dick Clark TV Production Company has started a new project - "The Bachelor".

American reality shows usually have one major feature - tearing.

Not only are the guests tearing each other, but the host and the guests are also torn apart, anyway, the supervision is very loose, in order to create contradictions, there are all kinds of tears in the reality show.

Enhance the so-called "realism".

Is "America's Top Model Contest" just taking pictures and walking on the stage? No, there are tears!

"Flyover" is obviously a fashion design program, and it has to be torn apart!

Even culinary reality shows like "Hell's Kitchen" have to tear apart in the process of cooking.

Since one of the major themes of reality shows is tearing, then okay, Don En directly took out the reality show "The Bachelor", teared it for the sake of tearing, and made it to the peak!

"The Bachelor" is actually about choosing a super handsome guy, and then choosing a dozen beauties. Use a season of the show to let these girls and handsome guys go around to play in attractions and increase their feelings for each other.

If during the show, the girl failed to get the roses presented by the handsome guy, it means that she was eliminated.

The girl who stays until the end is the winner, who can not only succeed in holding hands with handsome guys, but also achieve a lot of benefits.

In order not to be eliminated, the girls must use all kinds of tricks and tricks to attract the attention of handsome guys, and even take the initiative to seek pleasure. In this process, the tearing between the girls will definitely be very hot!

What's more, tearing is tearing, and you can't let the handsome guy be disgusted, otherwise he will be eliminated, and he can only tear behind his scheming.

In this fierce competition, many times the "good girl" will be eliminated, and the "scheming" can often stay, which is too interesting.

If the handsome guy wisely discovered the girl's "scheming" means and left the kind girl, it would be even more interesting!

Of course, the most interesting thing is sex.

If the handsome guy slept with the female guest in the process, but in the next rose presentation link, he didn't give the female guest, he was ruthless, and he was eliminated after sleeping, it would be a complete explosion.

In addition, it can also be reversed, a big beauty is selected among more than a dozen men, showing the "means" of men in competing for women, that is, the female version of "The Bachelor" - "Single Girl".

"American Idol" is becoming more and more popular, and more than 30 countries have purchased the rights from Down Pictures.

The royalties alone can generate $100 million in revenue every year!

And as long as the program continues to be popular, the copyright will increase year by year.

In the past, in Hollywood, the core of making money was movies. With Donn's promotion, high-quality TV dramas have also been taken seriously, and I heard that HBO is also going to vigorously carry out the filming of self-made dramas with large investments.

With the success of "American Idol", Don has realized that the ability of popular reality shows to make money is no worse than popular movies and popular TV series.

In this case, it is better to take the reality show into your hands completely!

Tang En's foresight and foresight only have so many years left, and he must make full use of this natural advantage.

Those reality shows with explosive ratings, he will dominate a lot of them!

When Michael Eisner heard the news, he immediately called Donn, "The Bachelor has to sign in to ABC!"

Donn smiled, "Michael, I'm under a lot of pressure!"

"Huh?"

""American Idol" was given to CBS, "Brave Warrior" was given to ABC, and two TV networks, NBC and FOX, also contacted me to cooperate with me. There are even many cable networks that want to work with me. ”

"Don't forget, Disney and Down Pictures are strategic partners now! ”

Don smiled, "Of course there is priority, provided that ABC's bid cannot be lower than theirs. ”

Michael Eisner couldn't wait to scold twice.

This kid, who is not very old, recognizes money!

Since it's a partner, can't you give Disney a little discount?

However, these words, he was not naΓ―ve to say, sighed, and changed the topic, "How is the co-production of the movie......?" How about a direct remake of Snow White for the first movie?"

Michael Eisner is in a hurry right now, and the shareholders are under a lot of pressure on Disney's management, and he needs to use Donn's golden sign to win the trust of investors.

"Snow White...... It's too classic, it's too famous, it's very difficult to remake, let's talk about it in a few years. Don shook his head and said slowly, "I've already communicated with the production department about the specific project, and I think it's ...... The first film, which can be a remake of "Dumbo". ”

"Dumbo?" said Michael Eisner.

Don said: "The biggest problem in remaking a movie is not the storyline, but the values. The values of a few decades ago are very different from those now, and if a cartoon like "Snow White" is to be remade, there must be a significant change in the setting. But "Dumbo" doesn't have to, the values of the original cartoon are very good, we just need to show the wonderful pictures in the cartoon with the current lens language and special effects technology, and it is highly restored. This is the memory of a generation, which can attract fans of almost all ages, from the old, middle-aged, to the young, to children. ”

Michael Eisner didn't speak, he was still thinking.

Donn continued: "When the Dumbo cartoon was released, it was exactly two months before the 'Pearl Harbor attack', which caused a storm in North America. Many media outlets believe that Dumbo became the master of the children's kingdom during the war years. "Time Magazine" even awarded the Person of the Year to 'Dumbo' Tanbo with ingenuity. ”

Michael Eisner immediately understood what Donn meant.

It's a time of war, too!

The "Dumbo" cartoon is a fond memory of the war years, and the live-action movie ...... You can also use this idea to carry out marketing.

"The original cartoon, because of the impact of the economic crisis strike, the plot is not coherent enough, and the structure of the movie is also very simple, which has to be said to be a big pity. So in the process of remake, it is necessary to carry over all the advantages of the cartoon, enrich the plot, and make up for the regrets. Don added.

Michael Eisner suddenly asked, "What about the budget?"

The corners of Tang En's mouth were quite sarcastic, and he said lightly: "'Dumbo' must be a three-dimensional animation of the computer, and it is a high-precision production, and the cost must not be less." Moreover, after all, this is our first film cooperation, and it is only allowed to succeed, not to fail! Therefore, we must invite big-name directors to take charge of the camera and invite big-name stars to press the lineup. ”

Michael Eisner's head is lined with black lines, and he has always been repulsive to big-budget films, "Is it necessary?"

"It's very necessary! This film must be a high-quality production!"

Donn's tone was unmistakable.

……

In May, "Spider-Man 2" was only released in a few countries in Latin America and Asia, and only $50 million at the box office in overseas markets.

But in June, the overseas market began to exert force!

By June 15, the North American box office of "Spider-Man 2" had exceeded the $500 million mark, and the overseas market also received $200 million.

In contrast, "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones", which was very high-profile during the promotion period, began to show decline, with only $100 million in overseas markets and just $250 million at the North American box office.

Basically, the box office revenue of "Star Wars Prequel 2" is only half of that of "Spider-Man 2".

Donn made a special phone call to George Lucas for this reason, and said that he liked "Star Wars Prequel 2" very much, and the reason why the box office was not as good as expected was because of the twentieth century Fox's marketing strategy mistakes.

If he is allowed to run the "Star Wars" series, he will definitely make more money.

George Lucas laughed wryly.

Can it sound...... I always feel that Donn's words are suspected of sowing discord.

"Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox signed a three-film distribution contract. George Lucas cut Donn's thoughts straight away.

Tang En smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "The contract can be bought out. ”

George Lucas had a black line in his head, "Do you think Star Wars is the same as Pixar's cartoons? Pixar's cartoons are good-looking, but there is also a risk of losing money." But no matter how bad the Star Wars box office is, it can still make a lot of money! That liquidated damages is a sky-high price!"

Don laughed twice.

Next, he will fly to Seattle to meet with Bill Gates to talk about the penguin crisis, and by the way, to start a project collaboration between Microsoft and Donn Films.

MSN is currently the second largest portal in the world, after Yahoo.

And MSN chat software, as well as news feeds.

Don and Bill Gates talk about a business, and the inside information of Don Pictures' future entertainment will be exclusively provided to Microsoft, and Microsoft will also do more news reports on Don Pictures' films, TV series, reality shows and other programs through online media.

Microsoft and NBC have already cooperated, and even opened NBC TV, which is no stranger to cooperation with the entertainment industry.

Then, Donn will fly straight to the UK to inspect the filming of Harry Potter 2, meet the young actors, and encourage them to act well.

This group of young actors is very hard, since "Harry Potter 1", there has basically been no winter and summer vacations, and all the long vacations have to be used to make movies.

If "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is released, it would be good to say, the little ones will definitely be motivated to see their performances in the cinema.

But now that "Harry Potter 1" has not been released, "Harry Potter 2" will start filming directly, which will definitely make children feel confused and not motivated enough.

Don wants to encourage them.

After condolences to the "Harry Potter" crew, Donn is flying to Paris.

That's the highlight of his trip – he's going to meet with Vivendi's top brass!

For Donne, this summer has just begun!
