Chapter 632: The Legend Continues

Friday, May 4 of this year is the dividing line, the $258 million super blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" will be released worldwide, and the series finale will kick off the summer vacation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Before that, after "Spartan 300 Warriors" won the North American championship for two consecutive weeks, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" for one week, "Ice Blade Duo" for two weeks, and "Rear Window Horror" for three weeks.

Sparta, which has been in theaters for 8 weeks, has already exceeded 200 million at the North American box office and 400 million at the global box office, becoming a phenomenal movie.

This past April was April Fool's Day, Easter, and the Jewish Passover. For Manchester United fans, the biggest holiday is the 36th round of the Premier League on April 28, with Chelsea drawing 1-1 away at Arsenal, Manchester United won the 2006-2007 Premier League title with a lead of seven points!

It was United's ninth Premier League title and 16th top-flight title.

After three years of winning the championship, Red Devils fans around the world were jubilant, praising Lord Alex Ferguson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, and Ryan Giggs...... There is also Ye Wei, the superstar mascot hidden in Carrington. "The Sun" joked: "Although Ye Wei did not play for a second, he used Oscar's failure to inspire Manchester United to regain the championship." ā€

In the Manchester United heroes inventory of many media, Ye Wei is listed as a behind-the-scenes hero. Laugh and laugh for ten years!

Some fans who don't understand football are asking everywhere: "Is this the only Premier League title?"

Many fans are scolding the independent arbitration panel, if Ye Wei's labor certificate is approved, Manchester United will definitely send him on the field and even start in the last two rounds! Although Manchester United lost to AC Milan and stopped the Champions League semi-finals, the main players still have to recharge their energy to prepare for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on the 19th.

As long as Ye Wei stepped on the field, he was a legend who attracted global attention, but now he couldn't even play the game of the reserve team, which was just a joke for some people.

"We are champions!" Ye Wei's social network is full of excitement about Manchester United winning the championship, and has been ridiculed by a lot of black black, what does it matter to you?

The mainstream sports media joked at most, attacking him is unreasonable, Ye Wei has been in Carrington for more than three months since the trial, and has not exposed any scandals such as playing big names, getting along with teammates, and undiscipline. While making the film, he diligently proved his seriousness with practical actions, and the sales of the No. 37 jersey continued to rise, but he did not have the opportunity to play.

In this matter, the secrets were very depressed and angry when they mentioned it.

Those fans who only love movies are grateful to the independent arbitration panel, if Ye Wei had a labor certificate, there might not be these two movies!

Ye Wei announced on Spotpass and Twitter on April 30 that the production of "Bullying Night" will be completed, and the next step will be to release it after internal test screenings. And "There is no such thing as a vampire in the world" announced on the 13th and 20th of this month that two other popular and powerful actresses joined: Rachel McAdams and Emily Blunt.

Coupled with Natalie Portman, these three will be on the same stage in a movie with a budget of 1 million, and fans are just excited!

The charm of a 19-year-old movie genius! The media also paid attention to an interesting situation, Ye Wei's father is a dentist, Portman's father is a doctor, and McAdams's mother is a nurse.

Ye Wei recently strongly recommended his good friend Xavier Dolan on the Internet to crowdfund the $500,000 feature film project "I Killed My Mother" on Diantong, which is written, produced, directed and starred by Dolan, which tells the story of a 16-year-old gay teenager and his mother's love-hate complex mother-son relationship, which is a semi-autobiographical story of Dolan. Damien Rush has joined the male number two to play Dolan's boyfriend. The coming out lovers are certainly courageous, but Dolan has only recently turned 18.

Previously, Dolan was most famous for playing the second brother of Bethany in "Soul Surfer", why did he suddenly make a movie? At the age of 18, he made and directed, choreographed and acted with one hand? I haven't made a short film yet!? Although there is Ye Wei's advertisement and the crowdfunding amount is not high, the financing progress of "I Killed My Mother" is still slow.

But there are also many fans who are optimistic about Dolan, just because Ye Wei said okay, have you forgotten the Flecks' "Half Nelson"?

After this period of time, the overseas box office of "Soul Surfer" is fixed at $53,749,705, plus $93,062,976 at the North American box office, the global box office is $146,812,681, and the most successful surf movie in history is undoubtedly the most successful.

With Paramount's strong distribution network, "Lovely Bones" also earned $125,092,318 overseas, plus $143,100,217 at the North American box office, and $268,192,535 at the global box office, one of the most successful best-selling film adaptations, and it also surpassed 250 million LMS to become Ye Wei's highest-grossing film in total.

After 20 weeks of screening, "Winter's Bones" grossed $29,130,267 at the North American box office, ending at $18,653,131 overseas and $47,783,398 worldwide. Although it is Ye Wei's lowest-grossing film at the total box office, as an R-rated cold literary film with a production fee of 3 million, it is naturally a commercial success.

The DVD of Winter Bone sold well, with an average price of $15.9 a set in the United States two months after the Oscars, and has already sold 472,292 sets with sales of $7,509,451.

For DVDs to sell well, whether they can meet the needs of family movie-watching is the primary determining factor.

LMS has sold more than 5.2 million DVDs in the U.S. to date, with sales of more than $90 million, and all of them are smiling, whether it's the superstars who have direct dividend clauses or the other creators who have a little bit of residual-payments for their unions.

Why is it that an actor or a screenwriter is not paid well, but after having a masterpiece or two masterpieces, even if he later goes to the Pacific Ocean or does not work for a long time, he can still live in a seaside villa and live a rich life like Charlie in "Two and a Half Heroes"?

This is one of the specialties of the American film and television industry, it is not a bonus, not a dividend, only the director, screenwriter, starring these online creators have.

For example, in the 1988 general strike that forced the Producers' Guild to sign a contract, the remaining remuneration for the disc tape was 0.3%, which means that for every LMS sold, about 4 cents went to the writer. Checks kept flying, and Michael Arndt was able to earn more than $200,000 from 5.2 million discs.

However, the three-year contract expires on October 31 this year, and each renewal negotiation is a game of multiple interests. Three years ago, the Writers Guild made producers increase the manuscript fee, stipulating that the six major studios should pay a minimum of $106,000 per script for original films, and this time the Writers Guild has targeted the remaining compensation for the renewal negotiation table.

It's too little! It's not good, it's about double from 0.3% to 0.6%.

But if you have such a point, the rules of the game will be messed up over the years, unlike the level of manuscript fees, which only affects the interests of the producer, the residual remuneration has a total amount, like the income generated by each TV broadcast of a movie, 80% belongs to the film company, and 20% is the residual remuneration of the creators.

What about DVDs, TV broadcasts, and other aspects? The screenwriters have divided too much, and the directors and leading actors can only be given more by the producers if they want to continue the current figures. But what do the directors and actors unions think about this one? Will the next renewal be doubled?

The producers are the group of people who paid for the risk, and the salary has already been paid, but the film can only swallow it at a loss, why do the creators share so much?

But for film and television, it is normal to not open for a year, and it is the norm to open for three years, and the risk of director, choreographer and acting lies in their own market, and they don't know where to squat when the film fails and strikes out, and it costs a lot of money to be a star. Without a handsome residual pay, Hollywood wouldn't be so buzzing.

The 0.3% clause has been in use for almost 20 years, during which time inflation, rising prices, and even the collapse of the Soviet Union, this time the screenwriters' union will definitely not give up, and it is a big deal to strike again.

The DVD of Winter Bone has sold 470,000 units, the inspirational SS has sold 2,368,875 units for $39,086,449 at an average price of $16.5 per set, and the mixed feelings TLB has sold an average price of $18.5 and has sold 3,074,325 units for $56,875,012.

Although the magnitude is modest, their sales will continue to grow, discounted and discounted, until they drop to about $5 per destocked ticket.

According to the estimates of relevant institutions, about two-thirds of the annual profits of Hollywood film and television products come from the rental and sale of video discs. In fact, many times, the promotion of Hollywood films, the awards season, and the Oscars are all for the purpose of selling DVDs. If this year's Oscar Best Picture had been Winter Bone, it would have sold far more than 1.47 million units now.

Last year's best picture, "Crash," sold only 397,522 units in its four weeks before the Oscars, and sales soared 239% the week after the award, and more than 2.1 million units have been sold to date. "Brokeback Mountain", which has better reviews and a higher box office, has only more than 1.8 million sets. It's the same this year, with "The Departed" already leading the way with 6.7 million units and $126 million in sales, so its US DVD sales will be higher than the North American box office.

The Girl Trilogy's total U.S. DVD sales are temporarily more than 5.91 million units, generating about $250,000 in leftover compensation for writers.

So no matter how much Ye Wei's salary and dividends are, and no matter how much he can earn as an investment producer, just holding a bunch of checks for the remaining remuneration, from the screenwriter to the director, his wealth is incalculable. But what is ridiculed by the industry is that he lavishly gave Michael Arndt TLB's screenwriter signature instead of the one-time payment of the script doctor to one more person who gets a 0.3% cake.

Manchester United's mascot, who is ridiculed for fun, is also the creator of these miracles:

The 6 films with a total production cost of 46.45 million received a total of $606.9 million North America/$387.7 million overseas/$994.7 million global box office, making it the youngest member of the 1 billion director club.

More than 13 million DVDs have been sold in the United States.

Four of the films had six individual Oscar nominations, for a total of 19 nominations, and LMS won two awards for supporting actor and original screenplay.

Bring out a group of future girls with bright stars.

And his 7th film is finished, the 8th film is about to start, and the legend continues.

......

Jennifer Lawrence, who has been in the spotlight lately, has finally joined a new project: co-heroine of an untitled feature film project directed and starring Jodie Foster, and supporting role in Babel screenwriter Guillermo Arriga will direct and write the new drama "The Burning Plains" for the first time.

Both independent projects have an investment grade of 20 million budget, and both have the potential to win prizes and sell out. While girls of the same age are acting in youth romance films, school comedies, and screaming horror films, this 16-year-old Kentucky girl has taken on the banner of the darling of the independent literary and artistic circles.

Of course, when it comes to box office appeal, although Lawrence is nominated for an Oscar, he is now ranked behind Emma Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen.

Her embarrassment lies in the fact that she is not as beautiful as others in youth commercial films, Nina Dobrev is very attractive to young audiences when she dances, and she may contribute to "I Love Owl"; there is no opportunity to act in blockbuster films, and she is not up or down at the age of 16, unlike Alicia Vikander, who is already young and mature and can play a girlfriend, nor like Saoirse Ronan who can play a little girl; acting in ordinary commercial films is the halo of the youngest actress in the future, and acting in foreign films, including British films, is the original halo of the United States, and this banner has to be carried if you don't want to.

Among the core members who have appeared on the cover of "People", only Olsen, who has finished "Juno", said unhurriedly that he still needs to learn.

There's another eye-catching teenage actress in recent times, with 17-year-old Emma Watson joining the BBC TV movie "Ballet Shoes" as the lead actress, which will start filming in July and air on Christmas at the end of the year.

Previously, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint took over the low-budget films "December Boy" and "Life Driving Lesson" at halftime (released, 48% freshness, $1.23 million global box office), and Radcliffe also had a TV movie "My Son Jack".

"Ballet Shoes" is "Hermione's" first film and television performance outside of the "Harry Potter" series, and the low grade really surprised many people.

But it's not particularly surprising that media fans recalled Watson's defeat in the VIY draft, how to let "Hermione" appear in other movies, and even Ye Wei didn't take over this problem.

......

On Saturday, May 5th, the United Kingdom ushered in another weekend after the May Fourth Festival.

Emma Watson received an email from Ye Wei a few days ago, inviting her to attend a mysterious internal screening of "Bullying Night" without media reporters and ordinary audiences, and she agreed, and finally, this morning, she took another hour's flight from Oxford to London to Manchester.

The email said that Gia Coppola would drive her to the airport and take her to a secret screening location.

She was wearing big sunglasses and carrying a crossbody bag, and as soon as she walked out of the arrival gate of the T3 terminal, she was stunned, only to see Ye Wei running from the pick-up lane across the sidewalk, and there was a queue of cars in the temporary parking space on the side of the lane, and passengers were coming and going.

"Follow me! Something happened to Gia. Ye Wei ran back and forth, opened the passenger door of his white Volkswagen Tiguan, "There's no time to explain, get in the car!"

She didn't want to have an affair with him at all, so she hurriedly walked briskly, got into the car and closed the door, and at the same time, he flew into the driver's seat and started the car.

I don't know if any passengers around have noticed that the Volkswagen has been driving far away and is speeding forward.

"What happened to Gia Coppola?"

"I can't die, it's just diarrhea. ā€
