Invite Gavin. O'Connor's film adaptation of "Weakness: The Race Progression" naturally encountered no obstacles, and after a week of planning, the production plan of the film was also placed in front of Lin Yuquan.

Screenwriters, Gavin. O'Connor was favored by himself and Mike. Ricky completed it together, and the other party is the screenwriter of "Baseball Rookie" and "Miracle on Ice", and he has a good cooperation with him, and is extremely good at writing sports-themed movies.

In terms of actors, the three most important roles in the film are Michael. Oher and adoptive parent Sean. Tao Xi, Li. Annie. Taussy. Among them Michael. Oher is certainly the most important character in the film and the hardest actor to find. Ojeco is an absolute big man, with a height of 1.94 meters and a weight of 156 kilograms, making him one of the most intimidating hegemons in college football, and it is not an easy matter to find such a black actor in Hollywood who is 21-25 years old, and there is no definite candidate for the time being.

Considering the commercial value of the film, in Sean. Taussy and Leigh. Annie. Of course, the two roles of Tao Xi have to start the obvious actor with box office appeal, Sean. The character of Tausi is Michael. Oher's adoptive father, the owner of a chain of restaurants, loves sports and considers Brad Brown. Pete, Russell. Crowe, Matthew. McConaughey, of course, considering that the weight of this role will not be too high, chose a well-known one with a low salary

The actor is the most suitable.

Leigh as the adoptive mother of Michael Oher. Annie. Taussy is a charitable, kind white mother who carries a lot of weight both in her life and in her novels, and her subjects include Julia. Roberts, Sandra. Bullock, Judy. Foster, Julianne. Moles. This role is extremely important. Definitely not to save money.

Ultimately. Kevin. Garnett and Gavin. O'Connor has set a budget of $32 million – $40 million for the investment. The former can be in Li. Annie. The role of Tao Xi started the filming of a heavyweight actress, who could be built on this basis to be well-made, if to be Sean. Taussy also launched a heavyweight star in the role, with a budget of $45 million, and the cost of further refined production is around $50 million.

Considering the recovery of production costs, $32 million would be a reasonable investment budget.

How to operate this "Weakness"? After reading the business plan, Lin Yuquan's fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, considering from the perspective of investors. Kevin. The final budget proposal of Garnett and others could not be more reasonable.

Sports as a form of cultural content is very popular around the world and has created amazing commercial value, but compared to the success of sports TV shows and periodicals, there are very few sports movies that have achieved success, such as the "Rocky" series, the "One Ball to Fame" series, "Shaolin Football", "Initial D", "Raging Bull", "Miracle on Ice", "Baseball Rookie", "Reinvigorated", ......

Among them, the highest-grossing is "Rocky 4", which grossed $127 million in North America and $300 million worldwide, but this was already a movie 24 years ago.

In recent years, "Space Jam" starring Jordan on the flyer has earned $250 million at the box office with a production cost of $80 million, which is the most remarkable achievement. But this has a lot to do with Jordan's own extraordinary influence among basketball fans, whose business model is difficult to replicate. For more sports movies, regardless of the box office, being able to make a profit is already the biggest win.

Therefore, the cost control of sports-themed movies is extremely critical, otherwise it is difficult to recover the cost.

Investing in movies, no one will not care about cost recovery, even if it is a ticket or public charity, Lin Yuquan naturally hopes to make a good movie while achieving a complete economic return, and due to factors such as interest, director's identity and his own wealth, he is especially inclined to the former, making a good movie is more exciting than simply making money.

This is also his consistent requirement for Dawning Movies and Summit Entertainment, rather than indiscriminate, boutique production, perhaps for this reason, it is difficult for some films to recover their costs, but once such an impression takes root among fans and audiences, it can also benefit immensely.

After making a decision, he immediately replied to his comments in an email, the film budget is 40 million US dollars, and the actress is considered from the cost performance and role fit, focusing on Julia. Roberts and Sandra. Bullock, looking for other role candidates as soon as possible, and strive to start filming at the end of May and release it at the end of the year.

At the same time, he also specifically instructed Chris. Anderson arranged the publicity and release of "Weakness".

With the advent of the summer season, the domestic film market has naturally become lively, "Spartan 300 Warriors" failed to enter the domestic theater due to the problem of scale. Love 4" was successfully released, and it was released in conjunction with "Nanjing! Nanking! 25.8 million in the competition, although it is far less than "Nanjing! Nanking! ", but you must know that "Nanjing! Nanking! Due to its special nature, under the escort of China Film, it occupies an absolute advantage in film scheduling, fully demonstrating its strong ability to attract gold.

And in "Nanjing! Nanking! "Strong lead, with 62.5 million consecutive weekly champions, "Speed and Excitement.

Love 4" also received another 28.6 million last week, with a cumulative box office of 54.4 million in two weeks, ranking tenth in the annual box office so far.

As for "Wolverine", which was beautiful around the world last week, it was not cold in China, but it received 6.2 million in a single day, only because it opened on Sunday that it did not have an impact on the box office rankings, but this week it will be the same as "Nanjing! Nanking! >> Positive PK.

"Star Trek", well, the eleventh episode of this classic sci-fi film series directed and produced by J.J. Abrams, although it will be massively launched in the global market this week, but when it comes to China, it will be next week.

After a month of continuous filming, Lin Yuquan deliberately had a crew holiday on May 9 this Saturday, and during the holiday, he and Yifei first made a special trip to Shanghai to meet Shi Shi, and then went to Shuguang Cinema with his second daughter to enjoy the summer movie carnival, in the morning "Nanjing! Nanking! In the afternoon, "Speed and Excitement. Love 4" as well as "Money Empire", and "Wolverine" at night.

"It's a pity that I can't see Star Trek for the first time." Liu Yifei has no regrets.

"Whoever said that, if you want to see it, after the day's shooting is over in a few days, we'll watch the midnight show together." Lin Yuquan smiled.

After the holiday, the filming of the crew of "Immortal" continued, and Shi Shi's role in "Love Defense" entered the final stage, and he will soon be put into the filming of "Step by Step".

In the busy, the latest box office rankings were released as scheduled, and "Wolverine" surpassed the 32.7 million "Nanjing! Nanking! Despite its huge influence, except for the fourth episode of the series reaching $110 million, the North American box office of "Star Trek" is basically around $70 million, but the eleventh episode of "Star Trek" won the opening weekend box office of $76.25 million in one fell swoop, which is almost the final box office result of a series of movies in the past, much higher than Paramount's estimate of $50 million. The media reviews were as high as 8.4 points, which is the highest so far this year.

As for "Wolverine", affected by the poor word-of-mouth evaluation, it really fell hard, and the box office fell by 68% to get $28.42 million, and the box office trend is worrying.

"Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Fast and Furious. The continued popularity of Love 4 naturally made Lin Yuquan happy, and what made him even more pleased was that the layout of the game industry had finally made substantial progress. (To be continued.) )
