From the last failure, David? Ellison has learned a lot of experience and lessons, and he has thoroughly understood that it is definitely not easy to succeed in Hollywood, let alone easy to achieve with money and scripts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the complete failure of "Air Combat Heroes", he hiberned for a while, not to lose confidence, but to think about some things clearly, such as why "Air Combat Heroes" lost so badly to "Batman: Time to War"? In addition to the gap between the two sides, what other factors have affected the market reaction?

David? Ellison soon discovered that "Heroes of Air Combat" was an original film that had no previous audience and fan base, and that "Batman: Time to War" was a reboot of the failed franchise, but Bruce? Wayne has tens of millions of fans across the United States......

This alone has opened up a gap between the two films in nature.

Subsequently, David? Ellison also discovered the fact that Hollywood studios rarely give original scripts a chance, instead devoting a huge amount of enthusiasm to popular novels and comics.

Take David? Ellison's mind, it is not difficult to find the truth, originality means that there is no audience base and huge investment risk, while popular novels and comics have a certain audience, and although the adaptation of a movie will be rejected by some fans, it can attract the attention of a considerable number of people.

So, he put the direction of the production of the second film on the adaptation of the famous work.

After a series of investigations and battles, David? Ellison got the rights to film an adaptation of a famous science fiction novel, and raised a huge $150 million to start filming and production.

In order to ensure the success of this investment, and in order to be able to cooperate with Duke? Rosenberg's new work competition, David? Ellison disregards Michael, who works with him? Ovitz's strong resistance brought Will, who has great market appeal from CAA? Smith starring.

In addition, he also saw Duke's various campaigns in publicity and marketing in the past, and specially invited Will ? Smith's daughter, in the film with Will? Smith stars as a father and daughter.

And this Richard? Matheson's novels were well-known enough to be brought to the big screen in 1964 and 1971. This time, he hired Aziva, who had won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "A Beautiful Mind"? Gosman wrote the script and did enough preparations.

After the crew started filming, it has been going well, and everything is going to David? Ellison foreshadowed. This is bound to be a film that can be profitable or even a hit.

Standing in the middle of Washington Square, watching Will Will? Smith's performance, David? Ellison walked over to a trailer and found Michael, who continued to work with him? Ovitz.

He asked directly, "Michael." Did I get the result of what I want you to confirm? Duke? When will Rosenberg's new film be released? ”

Michael? Ovitz frowned slightly, somewhat unhappy, but still said, "Warner Bros. and the Duke's studio have not announced the specific time, but according to the past few years, Duke? Rosenberg's habit, "The Dark Knight" should be released at the beginning of next summer. ”

"Early May next year?" David? Ellison clasped his hands to his chest, thought for a moment, and said, "We need to make sure that our film is all done by April next year." ”

Although to David? Ellison's tone felt uncomfortable, but Michael? Ovitz held back the unhappiness in his heart, "It can definitely be done." ”

After speaking. He walked towards the filming location.

David? Ellison stared at his back and shook his head slightly.

From the failure of "Air Combat Heroes", he also saw another thing, that is, the famous Michael? Ovitz is outdated, his vision of films and projects is seriously behind his time, and his ideas are simply stuck in the last century.

Found out about this, David? Surely Ellison won't give his project entirely to Michael again? Ovitz went to operate, and even directly vetoed the other party's packaging policy on the new film, such as the starring role's use of Will, who only joined CAA last year? Smith. Directed by William Morris Francis? Lawrence.

Since Michael? Ovitz and his artist management company, David? Ellison also left enough positions for the other side.

It's just that he already has a plan in his heart, and after this project, his team will accumulate a lot of experience. It's time to get rid of this outdated artist management company.

He also doesn't like the packaged service policy, in fact, people who have a slightly stronger desire to control it don't like it very much.

Like Martin? Scorsese, Hollywood are circulating a message, for Michael? Ovitz jumped from CAA to Martin Sr. at an artist management firm. Fed up with this policy and the serious decline in the Oscars' PR capabilities of artist management companies, they are ready to jump ship again.

In Hollywood, it is clear to everyone that Michael? Owitz's second entrepreneurial ambition artist management company has not developed into a first-line entertainment agency at all, and after several years of ups and downs, there is little hope of rising, and its promising actors and directors are ready to jump ship.

Even Michael? Bey, the director who no one cared about after the failure of "Escape from Clone Island", is preparing to work with Michael? Ovitz terminates the contract.

Otherwise, in the look of David? After some of Ellison's intentions, Michael? Ovitz will not choose to forbear.

After all, there are very few big-scale production projects he can get now.

David? Ellison is thinking, Michael? Ovitz was also thinking.

Strictly speaking, he doesn't have much say in this project, and with Duke? Rosenberg has been battling for so many years, and he is gradually feeling old and tired, especially with David? Ellison's collaboration found that Hollywood was moving in some new directions, and foreign capital was changing the rules of the game in this circle.

Remembering old friend Martin? Scorsese revealed to him that he was leaving the artist management company, Michael? Ovitz suddenly felt that he should retire?

Michael? Owitz and the artist management company have been doing poorly, and Duke is of course aware that the competition between agencies is even more fierce than that between production and distribution companies, and many companies such as CAA, ICM and William Morris have reached out to the artist management company.

"Nancy, aren't you in contact with an artist management company's client?"

In the office, Duke said to his agent, "Take Michael as much as possible?" Shellfish dug up. ”

"Michael? Seashell? "Nancy? Josephson was a little strange and said, "Since the failure of "Escape from Clone Island" directly caused the collapse of DreamWorks, Michael? Bey is not cared for, he is already recognized as a thing of the past. ”

Duke shook his head, "In Hollywood, there are many directors who can make niche ** films and literary films, but there are not many big-budget directors who can integrate many commercial elements. ”

Nancy? Josephson thought for a moment, "I'm going to have someone touch Michael?" Seashell. ”

Exploding Bay can be said to be the director who was most affected by Duke's appearance, especially the adaptation rights of "Transformers" were taken into his hands, which directly led to Michael? Bey lost the opportunity to restart the rise.

A live-action Transformers movie was already on Duke's agenda, but it was a long series, and he always had to find a suitable director for the future of the film.

There is no doubt that there is no director better suited to this series than Exploding Bey.

Nancy? Josephson is now in charge of ICM and is also the largest partner, how to dig the wall is very familiar, and Duke is not too worried, after all, Michael? Bey is at the lowest point in her life.

He still focuses more on the preparation of the film.

Entering October, preparations are in the final stages, including the Heath ? Ledger and Nicholas? All the main actors, including Cage's two new actors, have joined the set, and they are also communicating and rehearsing with each other in preparation for the upcoming filming.

In addition, all the preparations that Duke has given are either ready or nearing completion.

Jose? After doing a lot of experiments, William found a suitable way to explode; John? Schwartzman is in charge of the film crew, which can be very proficient in operating IMAX cameras; Lamborghini has specially modified the Batmobile and Batmobile, and the front position of the car can be equipped with a relatively bulky IMAX camera.

Since the Batman movie has already been prepared once, the second preparation seems to be particularly smooth.

Just when the preparations for "The Dark Knight" were coming to an end, "Iron Man" also ended its more than five-month screening and officially went offline from major theaters in North America.

In fact, since August, the box office figures for "Iron Man" have been better than nothing, and the box office has not increased significantly compared to August, and the final North American box office has stayed at $389.95 million.

However, after this period of screening, without waiting for Marvel to make a move, the global box office of "Iron Man" successfully crossed the $700 million mark and has reached $702.11 million.

The film's overseas screening journey is not over yet, and there is still room for growth at the global box office.

With the release of the film in North America, the DVD was officially released, compared with the past films of the same box office level, the DVD of "Iron Man" was affected by the overall market trend, and sales fell slightly, with the $19.9 regular version and the $39.9 deluxe version selling a total of 4.5 million copies in the first week, and the sales amount just exceeded 100 million US dollars.

However, on the online side, the video-on-demand revenue of the film has increased significantly compared with the same level of films last year, and it earned about $4.2 million through paid on-demand in one week.

Although this figure is not impressive, the potential for the future is limitless.

Soon after "Iron Man" was released, "The Dark Knight", which took several months of preparation, also reached the filming stage. (To be continued.) )
