(Ps, there is no missing chapter, the serial number of the previous chapter is wrong, it is four hundred and six, but I don't have the permission to modify it.) ）

"God's work! God's work! "Memory Fragments" is simply a masterpiece! Director Christopher Nolan used an unprecedented flashback to create a 'fragmented' viewing atmosphere! If we, like the main character, pretend to be a detective and follow the momentary moments on the screen, then the emotions intertwined in the complex structure can move everyone! ”

"After watching "Memory Fragments", I realized what is called the texture of a movie! What is called a movie reflecting reality! In fact, every one of us in reality is like the protagonist of the movie, peeping into everything in the world written by the brain! Every morning when we wake up, we stare at the snow-white ceiling and ask ourselves, 'Who am I and where am I?' And with the emergence of memory, a complete life that belongs to us is also objectively presented in front of us, but at this time, who will think, is the life presented to us by the brain our life? Is it real and unmodified? Because we are used to it, we never think about this kind of problem! But after watching "Memory Fragments", I suddenly felt that by examining every piece of information that the brain transmits to us, I might be able to discover some hidden truths! ”

"Fragments of Memory is about life! The magical editing makes the content of the story appear bizarre and varied! Christopher Nolan uses his lens to tell us that the truncation of memory will make fate rampant in the alley of history! No matter what choice we make, we have to be clear enough, because only in this way can we follow the path we want! ”

"Christopher Nolan Cow Beep!"

""Fragments of Memory" is definitely a movie that deserves more than "Titanic"!"

"Hollywood's next superdirector! That's right! It's a super director! Not a suspense director! ”

"Steve Spielberg and James Cameron, who only use special effects, are not worthy of carrying his shoes!"

"This is the movie! This is the movie! ”

When "Fragments of Memory" was released on a large scale, fans who had been waiting for weeks finally won the carnival!

Just like a little piglet waiting to be fed, while absorbing nutrients, he is also crazy to feedback his joy to the outside world!

The unprecedented editing technique made them intoxicated!

The reverse cut and smooth narrative flow make them call it brain-burning!

And when these two are combined......

IMDb's 40,000 stable scores of 8.5 points are gathered!

In the fourth week, another 8 million was collected, and the cumulative total box office soared to 19 million, which made "Memory Fragments" stand out from the movies of the same period! What "Clues" starring Morgan Freeman! What "BJ's Single Diary" starring Renee Zellweger! What Johnny Depp starred in "American Hackers"! These movies are all rubbish in front of "Fragments of Memory"!

It's just that in the eyes of Hollywood colleagues, this fiery momentum is simply -

The scene of the car accident!

…………

"The movie "Memory Fragments" is a big loss, right?"

In the conference room of Fox Films, a group of people were looking at the report in their hands with confused eyes.

Because in their opinion, Roland Allen is trading at a loss this time!

And after the chairman of the film industry spoke, the voices of harmony also came.

"Big loss! The cost of "Memory Fragments" is 10 million!

Judging from the current screening time and box office, the upper limit of this movie is 35 million at most.

But Warcraft Films and Television can't recover so much cash! ”

"Yes! According to the account sharing standard of the North American Cinema Alliance, their long-term screenings will all be divided into 50% of the box office; If it really ends up being 35 million, then they will only receive 17.5 million. ”

"The total income of 17.5 million, deducting 10% of the total box office, is 14 million;

Then after deducting the cost of copying 2,000 theaters and the cost of materials for publicity, it is estimated that there will be 7 million left;

If you are adding the human relations of the screening...... As far as we know, Warcraft Film and Television gave Steven Soderbergh's directors an appearance fee of 500,000 yuan, then here, another five million must be deducted, and the rest is only two million;

Then after subtracting the film's production cost of 10 million, so far, the film has lost 8 million! ”

That's right!

Don't look at the earth-shattering hype of "Memory Fragments", but in fact, it has not been profitable so far!

Or rather, the film can't be profitable in the normal movie release cycle!

Nearly 30 million was smashed, and everyone got together and listened to the loneliness!

As for why Hollywood movies only account for 20% of the total revenue at the box office, "Memory Fragments" still has a lot of room to sprint?

No kidding!

Twenty percent has always been for commercial films!

Because they have peripherals to develop!

And what is "Memory Fragments"?

Selling clothing, dolls, or ice cream?

None of them!

In this way, after the box office is removed, the disc market becomes the final destination of their profits.

In this case, the stretching of word-of-mouth is indeed conducive to the promotion of the disc market after the release of the movie.

A good fan rating can also prompt the film to kill all corners in the disc market.

But the problem is that this convention is still for commercial films.

Because of the DVD of commercial films, that is also the periphery!

Fans buy it for collection, and a large number of shipments can make the producer make a lot of money.

And what about suspense films?

Even the core fans of suspense films will collect DVDs, but compared with the fan base of commercial films, this collection is simply insignificant, because more guys will watch more movies by renting discs.

Rent a disc for two weeks at a time, watch it several times in your free time, and then post movie reviews in online forums, collide with like-minded friends, and finally over......

Although these fans are indeed movie lovers, this group, in the eyes of capital, is dispensable.

Rent a disc?

What kind of thing is renting a disc!

Every penny you spend, it's made by middlemen!

Now, the largest rental agency in America is Netflix!

People bring in a bunch of goods from a middleman at once, and then they can use the identity of the owner of the item for limited distribution!

And this part of the money, the manufacturer can't receive it.

The only thing that manufacturers can earn is the money that these disc rental agencies can buy discs!

In this way, these fans are screaming loudly and blowing happily, so what's the use?

Except for themselves, none of the other guys can be moved!

…………

Of course, these guys are so focused on the movie "Memory Fragments" because Roland Allen finally missed.

"First defeat, right? Is this his first failure since founding a film and television company? ”

In the conference room of Sony Pictures, there was a burst of exclamation.

"In the past ten years, he has bought the six copyrights of "The Wedding Banquet", "Eating Men and Women", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Love Before Dawn", "Red Fan Zone", and "Memory Fragments", the first five of which are all net profits, and now, they are finally smashed!"

"Yes, yes! I heard that Roland Allen bought this movie on his own initiative! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! He also went to England! Meet director Christopher Nolan! ”

"Feiyue Qianli personally came forward to buy a copyright, but in the end, he lost his eyes?"

"Hahahaha! This is probably the biggest news of the year! Yes? ”

…………

"If he continues to win, then we're going to have to fuck off!"

The same celebratory sound was felt in the conference room of Paramount Pictures.

"In ten years, I starred in a total of twelve movies and participated in the distribution of six, and the results were a big hit!"

"Is this kind of achievement something that people can do?"

"Not even Steven and George can do it!"

"In the past, every time we had a meeting, we had nothing to say when we mentioned him."

"And now, he's finally wrestling!"

"Let's have dinner tonight! Celebrate Roland's defeat at last! Come on, come on! No one is allowed to run! ”

…………

The cheerful reactions of Sony, Fox and Paramount, that was a real beep.

But there is no way, who has made them breathless by Roland all these years?

Nine championships in ten years, this kind of achievement is inspiring!

In the eyes of the public, Roland, who has launched popular works year after year, is an invincible existence!

But what corresponds to this scenery is the embarrassment of various film companies!

After all, no matter what the market is, it's limited.

Some people make money, and some people will lose money.

In the past, as wage earners, they needed to think about the problem every day to surpass their competitors and do a good job in the company's performance.

And when Roland appeared, they pondered how to pull Roland into their own subsidiary, and then improve the company's performance, which became their goal.

In the past, as the helm of a film company, all the shareholder pressure they faced came from the company's operation.

When Roland appeared, the pressure of the operators turned into interpersonal pressure, and the shareholder question they needed to answer was not why the company's performance this year was pulled, but why the company did not rush to Roland in front of several others this year, so as to achieve a leap in performance.

When they woke up in the morning, what they heard was what happened to Roland's project.

In my sleep at night, I still think about when Roland's project will end.

When this situation is repeated day after day, year after year, the feeling of aggrieved will arise spontaneously.

Be reasonable!

Every day Roland Roland Roland's! Isn't this just letting them live in the shadow of Roland!

If it were someone else, as a prince, they would have already found a way to vent their anger!

But Roland, a legging king, is like a hedgehog, so they don't know where to start!

So patience became the only thing they could do.

They don't believe it, Roland can make no mistakes in this life!

And endure it, and they also endure it as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......

Because Roland is out of the circle.

To be honest, when Roland announced his retirement from the circle, these guys were rejoicing, but they still had some regrets in their hearts.

Fortunately, it was the mountain that weighed on his head that was finally gone.

Regret is Roland's successful departure, not a regretful and gloomy departure.

These guys thought that Roland, who had been promoted from the flag to capital, would never give them a chance to retaliate and ridicule.

But now—

Roland actually wrestled on his own?

This is simply an opportunity from heaven to vent your anger!

If they don't laugh at it, they're sorry for God!

…………

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, some people are happy and some people are sad.

When Sony, Fox and Paramount, three companies that have no business with Warcraft Films, look at the jokes with joy, Universal, Warner and Disney, which maintain a good cooperative relationship with Warcraft Films, are tangled to death.

After all, the cooperation project between the three of them and Warcraft Film and Television was also handled by Roland.

Universal co-produced "X-Men" with Warcraft Films.

Warner co-produced Harry Potter with Warcraft Films.

And Disney......

"Mean Girl", "Princess Diaries", "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", the four movies, are almost holding up a palm.

If the previous two players are still very stable, because even if the mutant project can't rub Roland's popularity, then it also has the successful foundation of Marvel and Spider-Man, and has a high profit margin, not to mention Harry Potter, this is a fantasy project designed by Steven Spielberg, and he can make a profit with his eyes closed when he publishes it, then Disney, which has just been scolded by Roland and is currently in a state of comprehensive loss of the group, has some myocardial infarction.

"The Princess Diaries", from the current point of view, the biggest highlight is the director.

Because the other party once directed Julia Roberts's "Pretty Woman".

"The Lord of the Rings", from the current point of view, the biggest highlight is the name.

Because all the members of the crew are added up, their fame is not as big as this IP.

"Pirates of the Caribbean", from the current point of view, the biggest highlight is that there is no highlight.

After all, Johnny Depp is not the protagonist Disney wants.

In this case, the only thing that can reassure them is "Mean Girls" starring the Olsen sisters and promoted under the banner of Xiying, and when this guarantee becomes Disney's bottom line with the naked eye......

The defeat of "Memory Fragments" instantly became the abyss in front of them, staring at themselves!

No way!

Who made the success of Warcraft film and television all based on the myth that Roland would not fail?

When an outsourcing company with only three offices can run rampant in Hollywood, its biggest reliance is actually only Roland's high-quality vision that seems to implicate all parties, but is actually like a pimp to deliver customers!

This kind of golden body will shine because of the results, and it will also die because of the results!

…………

Of course, even if "Memory Fragments" fails and a crack appears on Roland's winning gold, it won't make Disney jump out in a hurry and examine the rest of the project.

After all, the current film business is like a piece of in a pit for them, smelly and hard.

And Roland, who has accompanied his daughter-in-law all the way north to Seattle, doesn't know that Hollywood is now the same as the Chinese New Year.

However, even if he knew, he didn't care.

If this loss could make his former partner, his current rival, happy, he didn't mind the guys laughing, and Roland could even laugh with them if they allowed it.

Because—

Soon, these guys won't be able to laugh anymore!

The top five in the global box office list this year have nothing to do with these people!
