The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone) - Chapter 2467
In a blink of an eye, three-quarters of 2015 has passed. For Sisyphus Pictures and for Hollywood, this is undoubtedly a fruitful year, or, in other words, it is a shining debut and comprehensive strength. In the past year, a new vitality has been injected into the North American film industry.
At the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, “I and Earl and the Dying Girl” successfully won the Jury Award; then the Oscar, “Burst Drummer” successfully topped the best film, this is the first time in history, the same The company swept the Sundance and Oscar top awards in the same year.
At the Cannes Film Festival in May, “Lobster” won the Jury Award and the Best Actor Award, and “Carol” won the Best Actress Award, which is the biggest winner.
At the same time, in addition to the awards, box office revenue has also achieved initial results.
The “Female Spy” finally achieved a global box office of 235 million U.S. dollars. Although the investment and production cost was as high as 65 million, it still achieved a profit of nearly 20 million-this is only at the box office level. Yes, after that, the follow-up income, led by CDs and on-demand, will be the bulk.
The low-key release of “It Behind You” cost only a mere two million U.S. dollars, but it ended up with 14 million box office figures in North America. It was an unexpected surprise and easily created nearly three hundred for Sisyphus Pictures. Ten thousand dollars in profit, but such data is not the point.
What is really important is that this low-cost horror movie has received unimaginable praise among genre fans. From evaluation to word of mouth, it has become popular. This not only means that the subsequent rental and on-demand business of “it is behind” has created Prerequisites; and also won the first batch of **** supporters for Sisyphus Pictures——
Not because of the blue gift, but because there are not many companies willing to invest in the production of excellent horror movies; and the supporter is not Don Quixote, but the veteran and professional horror movie lovers. The supporters of many movies are absolutely loyal enough.
For a small independent film company that just started last year, such results are more than just dazzling, it can be said to have turned out. The huge success has made other small companies cast envy in their eyes. People think of DreamWorks back then.
What’s more, don’t forget that the global box office figure of “Blasting Drummer” of 365 million U.S. dollars has also successfully earned Sisyphus Pictures more than 150 million U.S. dollars in profit-the production of this work The cost is only three million US dollars, so can the market continue to look forward to the three award season works of “I and Earl and the Dying Girl”, “Lobster” and “Carol” are also gaining on the market level?
In short, Sisyphus Films, which has been in existence for 20 years and 15 years, has indeed shown a vigorous momentum of rising at full speed, and so far, it still maintains its invincible aura-just like Lan Li, every work The advent of the show, both represent success.
When the “Female Spy” and “It Behind” were announced to be in production, the common opinion of many Hollywood professionals was that “people are stupid and rich.” No one thinks Sisyphus Pictures is serious, and no one thinks it is safe. Dre Hamilton was serious, but now it’s a different look.
In addition, Sisyphus Pictures will have a “Focus” and a “Wild Hunter” waiting to be released at the end of the year, aiming for the awards season.
Among them, “Wild Hunter” is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, originally expected to be able to debut at the Venice Film Festival or Toronto Film Festival, but the post-production has not been able to complete, as is Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito Headache, procrastination, and October has already entered in a blink of an eye, but still has not been able to complete the post-production, which makes the whole Hollywood can not help but sweat for Sisyphus Pictures.
According to industry sources, the production cost of “Wild Hunter” is as high as 135 million US dollars, which is equivalent to Sisyphus Pictures desperately betting on this work. If it fails, then the previous “Burst Drummer” All the gains will be vanished, not to mention the little gains of “female spies” and “it is behind them”-just like DreamWorks, the ups and downs of gains and losses will cause a heart attack.
Now the post-production of “Wild Hunter” has not been able to be completed, which has also caused many doubts:
Is the quality of the work unsatisfactory? Is the finished product effect much lower than expected? Is there a disagreement between the producer and the director? Does it mean that the work might be… messed up?
Sisyphus Pictures did not rush, and after the Toronto Film Festival officially announced that the “Wild Hunter” is scheduled to be released: it will be released on Christmas Day, just in time for the deadline for Oscar registration, which also means that they are still ready to fight. This year’s awards season, and it is preparing to disrupt.
But… who knows? Perhaps “Wild Hunter” is an untimely bomb. Whether it is good or bad can only be revealed by waiting for the movie to be released.
However, the attacking Sisyphus Films still did not stop its pace, at least, Lan Li was not ready to stop.
The biggest box office bomb “Jurassic World” in the summer of this year, as it enters October, the threshold of breaking North American film history for the first time to enter the US$800 million threshold has been nailed down. The entire North America is waiting for the moment when the historical record is born. It means that Lan Li will write history again.
Does anyone remember the news when Lanly signed a contract with Universal Pictures to formally star in “Jurassic World”? That was also the moment to make history.
At that time, Andy Rogers won a contract for Renly that surpassed Disney’s Rogue One: US$20 million, plus an 8% dividend.
From a purely digital book point of view, Lanly still has not been able to surpass Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr. to create a new high. The final remuneration figure still needs to be determined based on the actual box office figures, which is far less secure than direct pocket , But there are dividends on the basis of the 20 million club, which indeed created a new era, and the remuneration ratio of all actors in Hollywood has also been adjusted accordingly.
Now, people finally understand what “eight percent box office dividend” means for Lan Li.
According to the analysis of industry professionals, Lan Li has earned more than 65 million box office dividends with just a movie called “Jurassic World”. In addition to the guaranteed film remuneration, Lan Li has earned 85 million in one fell swoop. One million dollars, easily surpassed the 65 million that Robert Downey Jr. made when he took over the filming of “Avengers 2”, creating the highest pay for a single film in the history of the film industry and rewriting the history of the industry.
Eighty-five million U.S. dollars, such a figure is really staggering, more than half of Hollywood’s film projects may not get such a cost budget.
But everyone knows that this should be the most cost-effective expenditure in the history of Universal Pictures:
“Jurassic World” has earned 550 million U.S. dollars at the box office level alone-85 million of which were used to pay for the blue gift, which is still the highest revenue for Universal Pictures since the millennium. What’s more, this is just box office revenue, and there will be peripheral revenues in the follow-up. All those revenues will belong to Universal Pictures, which is the big head.
The bigger problem now is:
Does Universal Pictures regret not signing the trilogy? After the great success of “Jurassic World”, what price should the sequel cost to keep Lan Li? It must be noted that Renly has never appeared in a sequel before, so what should we do now?
Putting aside Universal Pictures for the time being, the line of sight is still focused on Sisyphus Pictures.
The great success of “Jurassic World” has the greatest effect on Sisyphus Pictures, not because of Renli’s remuneration check, but because Renli once again confirmed his box office appeal and market driving force. This makes Hall Ventures once again won a lot of favor, and Andre and Arthur flying around the world are the best proof, which also makes Sisyphus Pictures once again have more working capital and can fully invest.
Following “Stranger Things” and “Sin Night Rush”, “Mind Hunter” officially went into production. In addition, “London Life”, “Big and Small Lies”, “Fuck him X’s World” and “The Crown” are four series of series. It has passed the review and is entering the preparatory stage. It will be officially launched in November at the earliest and January next year at the latest.
At the same time, there are as many as ten film projects formally established. Although the progress of the discussion is slightly different, the progress of the production is even more so, but it can still be seen that Sisyphus Pictures’ ambitions and the plan to be fully launched It is completely different from a year ago, showing a strong momentum.
It can now be officially determined that the blueprint that Sisyphus Pictures is looking forward to is far more ambitious than imagined, at least not inferior to DreamWorks.
Among them, the “City of Philharmonic” has undoubtedly attracted much attention. As Damien Chazele’s new work, many people in the industry are closely following the development of the project-once rumored ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ 20th Century Fox , Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. and many other companies have tried to take over Damien’s project, but all have been rejected. Damien is still patiently waiting for Renly to join.
“This is my work for Lan Li”.
These are the original words of Damien. He is waiting for the end of the production cycle of “Mind Hunter”, and then Lan Lilly will start the project, with a solid heart and history.
But after the end of the New York Film Festival, the situation in the “City of Philharmonic” has undergone subtle changes. A few top agents have been notified by the crew that Damien needs to find a series of suitable actors, including two important men. The role even approached Ryan Gosling’s agent.
What is going on here?
Could it be said that Lanly hopes to cooperate with Ryan, and the two male gods are finally about to merge? Indeed, these two best friends have not cooperated yet. This is undoubtedly a pity, and Renly and Ryan don’t mind playing supporting roles. They can play with each other, which is bound to be very interesting.
With the advancing of time, the preparations for the “City of Philharmonic” have attracted more and more attention. The titles of Damien and Renly are attractive enough, and no one wants to miss it.
