Chapter 176: Warner's Super Olive Branch
73.57 million, although such a box office result is not so eye-catching, but the cost is compared with the box office on the premiere day.
This number is particularly incredible, and the name "This Man is from Earth" is written after this number.
Although there is still a lot of distance from the box office of 100 million, such box office stamina and strong Cheng Dù are already quite outstanding.
With the return of the normal North American film market, the box office of films will normally drop by more than half in the second week.
Not to mention that it's the third week, and "This Man is from Earth" is already in its third week at this time.
And "Christmas Elf" was released a little earlier than "This Man is from Earth", but the box office is also extremely strong.
was released earlier than "This Man is from Earth", and the daily box office can still remain above 1.5 million until now.
The strong box office of the two films has also become a beautiful landscape, but compared with "This Man is from Earth", "Christmas Elf" is a family film.
Often families will take their children to the theater together, and such a strong box office seems more reasonable than "This Man is from Earth".
Dan Felman looked at the statistics in front of him, and his heart was extremely heavy.
endured the heartache and turned his attention to Fox's "Angry Sea", a large-scale production with an investment of 150 million Zuò has only received 54 million box office so far.
The cost is 15,000 times that of "This Man is from Earth", which was released at the same time, but the box office is nearly 20 million worse than the other party.
Dan Fellman tried to comfort his wounded heart with the box office of Guò's "Angry Seas", but he was not comforted at all.
Because the box office fiasco of "Warner Superstars", "Ghost Man", including "The Matrix 3", was too strict, and he was severely criticized at the meeting just now.
Even if he's just in charge of publicity. It's not that he's in charge of producing and buying films.
And at the meeting, the senior management also gave him a clear notice. That is to let him win over Chen Tian.
He was also criticized for failing to win over Chen Tian Music. Looking away from his computer, Dan Fehrman looked at the note in his hand.
The note had a string of numbers written on it, and this number was Chen Tian's contact information.
He was hesitating whether to call Chen Tian, judging from the situation at today's press conference, the high-level management was very attentive to wooing Chen Tian.
Click on the two pages, which are the details of Chen Tian's debut "Buried Alive" to the current "This Man from Earth" films.
From daily box office analysis to specific producers, to media overall ratings and Rotten Tomatoes and IBDM scores.
The two films "Buried Alive" and "Hard Candy" all exceeded 100 million, and the box office of "This Man from Earth" was 73.57 million. "Super Burger King", which wrote the screenplay, broke the North American box office record for the documentary, reaching 28.95 million.
What's more, these four films are all low-cost, and they are all scripts written by Chen Tian himself.
Dan Fellman looked at the detailed number and had to admit it himself.
If he is the CEO of the company, it is normal to be tempted by such a person.
At the time of the meeting, the senior management once said that they could even promise the right to direct a super blockbuster.
And he didn't have any holiday with Chen Tian, and he didn't have a bet with Chen Tian like Matthew Runte.
Between him and Chen Tian, the only thing that can be said to be a holiday is that several films that collide with Chen Tian almost all fail in the end, and accuse Chen Tian and Lionsgate of fabricating Rita Conroy to win sympathy when "Buried Alive" is released.
Now Chen Tian's upcoming "Queen Wears Prada" has not yet confirmed its partner, which is an opportunity for him.
Dan Felman, who had made up his mind, called Chen Tian's mobile phone. At this moment, Chen Tian is discussing some things with the Ellison brothers and sisters about "The Queen Wears Prada".
"Justin, if they're not willing to sponsor. Then it's very simple, we pay for it ourselves.
We want to be real, don't we? Since it's a fashion blockbuster, how can it be considered a fashion blockbuster if there aren't enough brands. David Ellison said.
These days, he has been helping to contact other big fashion brands with his sister Meghan, but many families are reluctant to help.
"David, I know what you mean, but I'll put that for later.
As for the actors, I'm going to start casting in the near future, and if you and Meghan are interested, I hope you will accompany you, and I'm going to invite the director of "Desire-Hope City" to be my deputy.
But his price is not cheap, I want to ask for your opinion, you are also investors. Chen Tian said.
Chen Tian's initial investment forecast for this film is 35 million, and Chen Tian can take out this money by himself.
However, Chen Tian knows the importance of win-win cooperation, and if it weren't for the help of the Ellison siblings these days, Chen Tian might not have been able to get Prada, the most important sponsor of the film, so quickly.
In the film, Prada will have full sponsorship of the film's costumes and other supplies, and even Prada's design director will be involved.
And this is also the in-kind sponsorship fee that Prada gave to Chen Tian, and there is no cash involved.
In terms of upfront funds, in the end, Chen Tian took out 15 million, the Ellison brothers and sisters took out 15 million, and Wen Ziren took out a large amount of savings of 5 million.
The four of them made up the initial budget of 35 million, and finally shared the profits with the issuing company.
Chen Tian accounted for 60% with the director, script and 15 million investment, the Ellison brothers and sisters took 30%, and Wen Ziren took the remaining 10%.
"I don't have any opinion, listen to you in this regard, Justin, all you need is to assign us the work we can do, and you decide the rest. David Ellison said.
"Well, so since it's a fashion blockbuster, luxury goods are indispensable, and in addition to clothing, we need the best and most advanced computers, mobile phones, cars, and the best jewelry.
I'll leave it to the two of you, and I'd like to get as much sponsorship as possible from them, and preferably give us a sum of money instead of paying out of our own pockets. ”
"Rest assured, we will do our best. David Ellison swore by it.
Chen Tian nodded, these things are all necessary for the film, although you can buy it yourself, but spending money will increase the cost of investment, it is undoubtedly better to be able to attract sponsorship, and it is even better to have funds.
Looking at his mobile phone, Chen Tian was very surprised, an unfamiliar number was jumping.
"Are you?" Chen Tian stood up and answered the phone.
"Hi Justin, I'm Warnardan Fellman, and I'd like to invite you to work with you on behalf of Warners, and if you're interested, I hope we can talk about it.
You can even direct Batman and Superman if you want. "Dan Fellman threw out two superheroes.
Chen Tian on the other end of the phone was stunned, he thought there was something wrong with his ears. (To be continued......)
