The Best Entertainment Era

Remember【 】for a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

The work efficiency of various companies and departments under Relativity Entertainment has always been very high. Just a few days later, Robert Lee summarized the situation of his subordinates and sent a work email to Ronan.

The most successful contact was Vampire Hunter Lincoln. The original author, Seth Graham Maysmith, was just an unknown little writer. When Hollywood producers approached, they had no intention of refusing at all.

For ordinary writers, film adaptation means a good opportunity to make money and become famous.

So, Seth Graham Maysmith made an offer of $500,000.

Compared with the fame and sales volume of the work, this price was a bit high. The staff sent by Robert Lee to negotiate made an offer of 300,000 US dollars and bought out the relevant copyrights of two novels by Seth Graham Maysmith at the same time.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement on $400,000.

In addition to Lincoln the Vampire Slayer, Relativity Entertainment has acquired the film and television rights to Seth Graham Maysmith's other novel.

This is also the type of magic reform spoof.

The novel is called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

To be prepared, this is a fan work of Jane Austen's novel, which is roughly the story of Elizabeth Bennett leading the Bennett family to kill zombies.

After confirming that he could get the copyright, Ronan immediately asked Connie to send the original book of Vampire Hunter Lincoln to Uwe Ball.

Although it is not a movie based on a game, who else is more suitable to be the director of this kind of vampire spoof movie?

Brother Bao can definitely make a super peacekeeping film, even the most professional Lincoln scholars don't know it!

Soon, there was news of the rights to adapt the book Abraham Lincoln's Political Genius of Rival Team.

After the staff of the copyright and legal department contacted Doris Goodwin, the latter was also interested in film adaptations, but proposed an adaptation price as high as $5 million.

Robert Lee personally made a trip to interview Doris Goodwin. One thing Doris Goodwin can’t change is that Relativity Entertainment can shoot films about the Thirteenth Amendment without her authorization. .

Since Lincoln's life story does not have the uniqueness of copyright,

Even if the original work is not available, it can still be adapted and filmed based on the events of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, but it will add a lot of trouble out of thin air.

Relativity Entertainment ended up paying $2 million for the rights.

If Doris Goodwin is left out, it will not save much, such as re-collecting materials, such as hiring professional legal consultants to avoid copyright conflicts in Abraham Lincoln's Political Genius of Opponent Team and so on.

Doris Goodwin has done a lot of research on Lincoln's life and deeds, and the $2 million also includes the cost of hiring her as a special consultant for the adaptation in the future.

Ronan immediately contacted Spielberg and sent him the book The Political Genius of the Opponent Team Abraham Lincoln.

Spielberg himself is not good at writing scripts, and the screenwriters of Sandsea Entertainment will adapt the scripts.

The project certainly couldn't be shot right away, and the script had to be coordinated with Spielberg.

With the signing of two copyright agreements, Relativity Entertainment has two more film projects in the future.

The copyright of Lincoln vs. Zombies was not going well. After the people from the copyright and legal department contacted the original author and the publishing house, they learned that the film and television copyright had been sold.

Although, the staff made preliminary contact with the person who purchased the copyright, but the other party did not refuse, but made a request-to talk to Ronan in person.

The person who bought the copyright was Richard Scheinkman, a Hollywood screenwriter, director and producer, but the few films he participated in were all videotape films that Ronan had never heard of.

Simply put, none of the films cost more than $100,000.

For Lincoln Vs Zombies, Ronan's positioning is a small project with a million-dollar investment level, which is also a dispensable type, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it.

Therefore, Ronan did not respond immediately, and let the copyright and legal department wait for a while.

On the third weekend in April, the third film released by Embassy Pictures this year was officially released after The Da Vinci Code and Resident Evil 3.

As one of the many series of movies, the fourth part of the Fatal Turning series, which is based on the theme of freaks killing middle-aged and two-year-old American youths, is released.

The total box office of the first three films combined is as high as 200 million US dollars, and it is naturally impossible for Relativity Entertainment to give up.

This kind of stupid, fool-like plasma tablets has never lacked audiences in the offline rental market.

However, the commercial income of this series has been showing a decreasing trend.

Sandsea Entertainment has repeatedly lowered the production budget.

By the third part, the production cost was only $5 million.

However, since the first day the film was officially released, the attendance rate was not bad, and it also echoed the appetite of a considerable part of the audience.

Sometimes, people or the media outside of North America find it difficult to imagine why American audiences always enjoy watching such mentally retarded and disgusting films with great interest and enjoyment.

Many Hollywood low-cost plasma films and mill-style b-movies can actually be classified as brain-dead films.

But it is these films that often create miracles that are small and big.

Perhaps a viewer who has watched Fatal Turn 4 left a message under the relevant comment section of idb is very representative.

This kind of movie, like fast food like KFC and McDonald's, sometimes it's quite exciting to come to such a meal after you're tired of sitting in a banquet, searching the streets for food, and laborious home kitchen.

Although it is junk fast food, but like choosing whether chicken wings are to be fried, grilled, sweet, spicy, naked or breaded, the Fatal Twist series, under the production of Shahai Entertainment, also has unique flavor.

To put it simply, all kinds of beauties are stupid to die, and all kinds of beauties are undressed without thinking.

Fatal Turn 4 can be said to have the most girls in the series, the cruelest scenes, and of course the lowest ratings.

The audience cultivated by the previous trilogy is still there, coupled with the brand effect of Fatal Turn 4 with its own sequel, the first weekend of its release in North America, it won a box office of 10.21 million US dollars.

Although this was the franchise's worst opening at the box office, it meant the film was still able to generate a decent amount of money.

Embassy Pictures made a prediction based on market feedback data. It is not a problem for this brainless horror film to reach the North American box office of 30 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is also expected to remain above 50 million U.S. dollars.

Therefore, the fifth part was naturally put on the production schedule.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the lifespan of this series is about to run out.

Ronan also made a decision that the fifth installment will be the final chapter of the Fatal Turn series.

The ending does not mean that the movie is over. If the opportunity is right in the future, it can still be filmed to make money.

Just after this weekend, Uwe Ball came to the Relativity Building and found Ronan.

I've read the original book twice, and I've been thinking about script adaptation and film creation for the past few days.

In the office, Uwe Bauer touched his brighter forehead and said to Ronan, I have some ideas.

Ronan looked at him and asked, Would you like to direct this project?

Uwe Bauer said without hesitation, Yes! Such an interesting subject is the most suitable for me. He showed a rather honest smile, Although it is not a game adaptation subject, we can completely shoot it in the way of a video game adaptation movie Production, Lincoln is like a game character, vampires are bosses, Lincoln wants to end the Civil War and free the slaves, he must carry an ax to pass the level!

Ronan believes in Brother Bao's strength. Brother Bao can definitely make the film super peaceful and vulgar. Tell me what you think.

Uwe Bauer put away his smile and said seriously, This is what I think about it. In the future, the film will use a solemn biographical style to tamper with the life of the greatest president in American history and uncover a hidden story. A mysterious past that lies beneath the surface. It will be the first time Lincoln has been crowned the great vampire hunter, breaking a subversive new horizon for the gory but beloved vampire genre.

Ronan didn't interrupt, just listened.

Uwe Bauer has obviously thought it over I believe that anyone who mentions the name of Lincoln will not be able to connect with the vampire hunter. The fact that these two names can appear side by side is already beyond everyone's expectations and imagination... …But, for those of us who made the film, it was just a different opportunity and a topic to devote ourselves to. We took quite a key and important historical event that defined Lincoln and the whole of America, all all woven into a classic vampire saga that's packed with mystery and thrills.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, Lincoln's life has too many coincidences with the superheroes in the classic comic books... So, to create a dual world with such a legend of a mythical character— — by day, he's the president of the United States; by night, he's a vampire hunter.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Ronan said, Uwe, create the script with your understanding and style. I will leave this project to you.

Again, Brother Bao has fully proved that there is a corresponding market for him to shoot multi-million dollar B-movies.

Uwe Bauer didn't stay long, and by the time Life and Death was finished, he had finally found a suitable new project.

In his opinion, this subject matter is so innocent and simple, yet it has an extremely powerful impact.

At noon, Ronan had lunch with Jessica Felton, and chatted about the early planning of Fast and Furious 4 by the way.

Returning to the Theory of Relativity Building, when he was about to enter the door, someone suddenly blocked the way.

When a bald middle-aged man saw the bodyguard appearing, he stopped quickly to avoid misunderstanding, and then introduced himself to Ronan from a distance, Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson, I am Richard Scheinkman, and I have a video I want you to see it.
