The Best Entertainment Era

The Oscars ceremony has come to an end, which means that another awards season in Hollywood is over. Many companies, including Relativity Entertainment, have already begun preparations for the next awards season.

For example, among the films produced by Shahai Entertainment, the goals of The Departed and Juno are the next Oscars.

Not only has the filming of the former been completed, but the post-production is about to be completed. The road to the award will start at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.

The latter is fully in time for the Venice Film Festival in August.

Although after the Oscars, many media and conservatives bombarded Brokeback Mountain, and there was news that Heath Ledger publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Ang Lee within the crew, but the five Oscar statuettes, especially Best Picture and With the best director in hand, Brokeback Mountain is enough to set off a frenzy of money-making in the global market.

In North America, Brokeback Mountain has once again expanded its screening scale, and the number of theaters showing it has increased to more than 2,100. The Oscar effect is obvious, and the weekend box office soared from US$3.2 million to US$16.88 million.

The North American box office of this film also reached 72.2 million US dollars.

As a literary film with long-term screenings, Brokeback Mountain is very likely to hit the $100 million mark at the North American box office.

Overseas, the addition of Oscar's best picture and best director awards is also the same star. This weekend's overseas box office reported 32.18 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has accumulated nearly 60 million US dollars.

According to the most conservative estimate of Embassy Pictures, the global box office of Brokeback Mountain will reach 200 million US dollars.

Relativity Entertainment's total investment in this film, including the production budget, promotional awards at the Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival, as well as the North American awards season and various publicity expenses, totaled 35 million US dollars.

Among them, more than 12 million US dollars were spent on the publicity and public relations of the North American awards season.

With Brokeback Mountain winning the Oscars, the North American box office alone is enough for Relativity Entertainment to recover its investment.

The bonus effect of Oscar is not only box office, but also various offline channels.

Brokeback Mountain North American first-round television broadcast rights have been sold, priced at up to 10 million US dollars.

As a literary film, it is commendable to have such a high profit.

Hollywood shoots and produces so many literary films every year,

It is rare to have the commercial influence of Brokeback Mountain.

The social influence of this film actually far exceeds the scope of Oscar's best picture.

While Brokeback Mountain was giving full play to the Oscar effect, Ronan also received another good news.

The DVD of Mamma Mia went on sale on Monday, local time in the UK. It set a new record with an astonishing sales volume of 1.7 million copies on the first day, becoming the first-day sales volume of DVDs and video tapes in the UK. champion!

The previous record holder was Titanic on DVD and VHS, which sold 1.1 million copies in the UK on its first day when it hit shelves in 1998.

Mamma Mia surpassed its 600,000 copies!

This musical adaptation film originated from the West End of England, and it has shown amazing commercial vitality in its native land.

It's not just the DVD that's great, it's the box office.

The box office of Mamma Mia in the UK was as high as 96.45 million US dollars!

That's good enough to be in the top five in the UK's all-time box office charts!

Even Ronan did not expect that a song and dance film could earn such a high income in an overseas market in the UK.

This also made Shahai Entertainment pay more attention to another musical project.

John Waters, the director of the cult film, created the brilliance of the musical by himself. Ronan simply handed over the project to him, and John Waters took full responsibility. Allianz Insurance acted as a third-party guarantee to monitor the crew's finances situation.

From the start of the project last year to the present, John Waters' preparations have progressed in an orderly manner. After discussing with Ronan, Adam Shankman, who has directed A Basket of Children and Brave Dad, was hired as the director.

Among the main actors that have been confirmed, the crew has recruited John Travolta to play the heroine's mother in reverse, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who once played Catwoman, will play another important female role.

As for the heroine, it really made it difficult for the crew to find a suitable candidate.

For a fat young actress with basic acting skills and excellent singing skills, the options are really limited.

Shahai Entertainment contacted several brokerage companies, and there were more than a dozen candidates recommended, but none of the performances in the audition could satisfy John Waters and director Adam Shankman.

Ahead of the Oscars, John Waters, with the help of Relativity Entertainment, expanded his search to English-speaking countries such as the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

In mid-March, the crew of Hairspray submitted the final audition results for the female lead to Ronan. A 17-year-old fat girl from the UK passed three rounds of auditions and defeated more than a dozen competitors, and finally got the role.

When Ronan saw the profile of the heroine, he felt somewhat unbelievable.

Because this 17-year-old British fat girl is called Adele Adkins, from Tottenham, London, England, and is currently studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

According to the audition video, Adele is a genius. During the audition, she sang a song she wrote when she was 16 years old.

Although the acting skills can only be said to be barely passable, they moved John Waters and Adam Shankman with their singing voice.

Ronan looked at the photo on the actor's profile, and after thinking about it, he was sure that this was the old Adele.

Now Adele has no one to pay attention to, she is just a little transparent, running from the UK to star in Hollywood movies, which is also the suggestion of her parents.

After all, she was studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

In addition, Adele's classmate and friend Jessica Cornish also passed the audition of the crew and got a supporting role.

Ronan looked at this girl's profile and thought it looked familiar, but he didn't expect to see her before.

However, Hairspray still has a lot of song and dance rehearsals behind it, and the filming won't start until June at the earliest.

At the same time, the crew of Hannah Montana started filming. Taylor Swift easily defeated all competitors in the audition competition that was absolutely fair and even more favorable to her, and became the star of this teenage sitcom. heroine of comedy.

According to the latest developments that Ronan has learned, Taylor Swift has also joined the music creation group of the crew and fully participated in the creation of the songs sung by Hannah Montana in the play.

This girl has a knack for creating music.

Scott Swift mentioned to Ronan that Taylor Swift recently had a new boyfriend.

Ronan reckons songwriting isn't an issue for Taylor at all.

There is really no inspiration, you can fall in love anytime, and breaking up in love is as common as eating and drinking for American teenagers.

Having said that, this is also a shortcut to find creative inspiration.

According to Ronan's plan, if Hannah Montana gets a good enough response, after a few seasons, it will be able to hold a concert for Taylor Swift.

Miley Cyrus became a national teen icon with Hannah Montana before she made Camel Toe.

At that time, Taylor Swift could also be said to have come from a youth idol type, but in order to make more achievements in music, gain a higher status and prestige, she resolutely chose to leave the village.

The former Taylor Swift and the team behind it have really extraordinary marketing capabilities.

Whether it is a relationship, a scolding battle with Sister Guo, or a group of supermodel girlfriends, they are simply a sharp weapon for attracting points.

It has to be said that the music industry is also changing with the development of the times and the social situation. Good singing is not as good as marketing.

Like on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, some celebrities can be posted on the Internet abruptly.

The film and television projects of Relativity Entertainment are progressing steadily. Danny Boyle officially signed with Shahai Entertainment at the beginning of the year to serve as the director of Slumdog Millionaire.

Currently, he has flown to Mumbai, India, to find suitable actors and actresses with the assistance of the Mountain Foundation.

On the second weekend in mid-March, Embassy Pictures released Relativity Entertainment's second film of the year, directed by Paul Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil series. Silk faces even more serious challenges.

This can be called the most successful game-adapted movie ever, and the only game-adapted movie director who can match Paul Anderson, and Uwe Ball is the only one in the world.

Brother Bao will also have a new movie released today. Life and Death Fighting has already been filmed and produced, and we are just waiting for the embassy film industry to release it.

Brother Bao's daily life is still looking for projects through playing games, even boxing to shock film critics, and going to Blizzard from time to time to confess to his favorite...

This is definitely a person with ideals, pursuits and actions.

As for whether he is a good director or not, it can only be judged by the fans.

It is said that in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin, organizations such as the Uwe Ball Fan Club have been established, and the number of members is quite large, which is not bad compared to second-tier stars.

In contrast, Paul Anderson's reputation among movie fans is even worse.

Due to the exaggeration of Relativity Entertainment, the status of Resident Evil in the company's projects will inevitably be greatly reduced. Ronan has already handed over this series to Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich.

Paul - Anderson has embarked on the old road, Alice finally became a superwoman.

However, Ronan did not express any opinions, as long as it can bring profit, everything else is false.

The film Resident Evil 3 has a very polarized audience. Fans who like it think that the large-scale action scenes and zombie fighting scenes are particularly enjoyable, while those who don't like it think that the film has no plot except fighting. Nothing to redeem.

The performance of the film in the commercial market is still remarkable, with a box office of US$31.22 million in the first weekend in North America.

That was enough to give Paul Anderson the green light from Ronan to move on to a fourth installment.
