Best of Hollywood

I slept a little late last night, and Ryan didn't get up to wash up until near noon, and went out for a run to exercise by the way.

When I came back, I saw that Angelina Jolie stretched her waist, showing a lot of spring on her body, "What time is it!"

Ryan picked up the watch on the bedside table and glanced, "It's not ten o'clock yet, you can sleep for a while."

What do you mean it's not even ten o'clock!

After listening, Angelina-Jolie rolled her eyes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, wearing only one pair of clothes, which seemed to be clear at a glance, but it was faintly visible and brought infinite reverie.

"In the afternoon, I have to go to the set, so I have to eat early." Angelina-Julie let out a sigh, and walked to the bathroom.

"Is it the crew of "Mysterious Puzzle"? Or the crew of "Girls"!" Ryan asked looking at Angelina Jolie's smooth back.

During this period of time, Angelina Jolie, in addition to filming "Tomb Raider", also filmed "Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle" and "Missing Soul Girl" one after another, with almost no rest time.

Among them, the box office of "Mysterious Puzzle" in the previous life was not bad. With a budget of 48 million US dollars, it earned 1.5 billion US dollars in the global box office.

"It's the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul"."

Angelina-Jolie walked into the bathroom and said, "James, I want to do a retake."

The James she was talking about was not James Cameron, but James Mangold, the director of the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul".

"Okay, I'll take you there later." Ryan shrugged.

He didn't have a deep impression of "The Girl Who Moved the Soul". He remembered that it seemed to be a film produced by Sony Pictures with a female theme as the protagonist.

The starring role is Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie is only an important supporting role, and the film's box office performance is only average.

However, Angelina Jolie is the biggest beneficiary of the film, not only won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but also the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance.

It is said that because of this, she and the film's starring Winona Ryder had a lot of conflicts.

Soon,

The two went downstairs together and had a simple lunch. Ryan drove Angelina-Jolie to the crew of "The Girl Who Moved" and made an appointment to pick her up at a certain time.

Ryan then headed to Orion Pictures.

"Boss, when do you plan to get up and visit the crew of "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra"!"

In the afternoon, just after arriving at the office, Secretary John-Denise asked: "As for the crew and the Pentagon, I hope you can take the time to go there in person and play a guest role."

The crew has officially started filming, and the Pentagon has given, to a large extent, the support to transform an abandoned military base into a shooting location, and Orion Pictures doesn't even have to worry about the publicity plan.

"In a few days."

Ryan thought for a while and said, "After "Reaper 2" is released, help me set a suitable time."

No matter what he said, he had to go there himself.

John-Denise made a note and turned to leave the office.

In mid-October, the crew of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" went to Canada's Banff National Park in Calgary to shoot for a few days. Stephen Sommers felt dissatisfied and temporarily changed the shooting plan.

Next, the crew first went to Paris to shoot, then went to London and Berlin to shoot, and then went to Iceland to shoot a very important scene.

According to Stephen Sommers, Calgary's Banff National Park in Canada has too mild a climate for brutality.

To put it bluntly, it was just not cold enough to meet the requirements he wanted.

At the same time, "Reaper 2" is about to be released in major theaters in North America.

On October 15, "Reaper 2" officially landed in North American cinemas with a screening scale of 2,800.

On the day of its release on Friday, it earned 6.58 million US dollars at the box office, which was a good start, and the word-of-mouth given by the audience is not bad.

As for the professional reputation of the media and film critics!

As a horror film, or a film based on oriental myths and legends, if it can get praise from the media and film critics, that would be hell.

For the new generation of young viewers, they will not pay attention to the cynicism of the media and film critics. They believe more in their own preferences and the comments of their peers.

The box office of the film on Saturday, instead of being lowered by the media and film critics, increased slightly, with a single-day box office of 7.05 million US dollars.

On Sunday, the box office slumped inevitably, taking in $6.5 million in a single day.

It was released for three days and earned a total of 20.13 million US dollars at the box office.

There's no question that Reaper 2 has been a success, and Orion Pictures once again has a low-budget horror franchise.

Of course, the budget of "Reaper 2" has reached 25 million US dollars, which is much higher than the "Chain Saw" series, and the income is also incomparable.

However, the success of "Reaper 2" still caused a lot of repercussions.

To a certain extent, the influence on Hollywood is greater than that of "Inception".

The North American box office of "Inception" has reached $2.9 billion, second only to the $4.2 billion box office of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace".

If nothing else, these two films will take the top two positions in the annual North American box office rankings.

However, it's not uncommon for a studio to have a hit or two every now and then, as Orion Pictures did with Terminator 1 in the past.

Over time, it is still inevitable to fall into trouble.

But the series of films is different. As we all know, the series of films is the most important guarantee for the profitability of Hollywood film companies.

Therefore, the success of "Reaper 2" has undoubtedly strengthened the foundation of Orion Pictures.

At present, Orion Films already has many films, such as the "Chain Saw" series and the "American Pie" series.

In addition, the successful "Rush Hour 2" in the summer file and the just-released "Reaper 2" are two series of films.

It can be said that the ability of Orion Films to operate a series of films is the envy of many Hollywood film companies.

In addition, it is also creating the "X-Men" series of films, the "Tomb Raider" trilogy, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the "Harry Potter and Magic" co-produced with Warner Bros. stone".

Even the seven major Hollywood film companies are helpless with the continuous performance of Orion Films.

In addition, recently, Miramax Films has encountered troubles one after another, and many small private actions have become much less.

In particular, Ryan has a lot of cash in his hands, and he can immediately set off a storm in Hollywood. No one wants to be the next target like Miramax Films.

Of course, it does not mean that it has become calm, but that it has become an action on the surface.

For example, the rating of "Tomb Raider", if it is not supported by Warner Bros. and there are no bloody and violent scenes in the film, otherwise it will become an R-rated film.

There is also a film released by Miramax Pictures, "The Talented Ripley", which chose to release on the same day as "Tomb Raider".

A film "Sleepy Hollow" released by Paramount, the schedule collided with "American Pie 3".

A very obvious way of suppressing, seizing theater screens and screening rates, diverting moviegoers, causing movie revenue to fail to meet expectations, and even hit the box office.

In the previous life, DreamWorks was constantly targeted by the seven major Hollywood film companies, resulting in a sharp drop in revenue in North America, and a very harsh percentage for overseas distribution, which eventually led to a break in the capital chain and was acquired by Paramount.

Lionsgate, with its "Hunger Games" and "Twilight" franchises, is well-funded.

"Give the overseas distribution of "American Beauty" to Orion Films!"

The director of the film, Sam Mendes, frowned, "Stephen, have you ever thought about it? In this way, DreamWorks will become the next target."

Steven Spielberg glanced at Sam Mendes and said lightly: "DreamWorks has always been an outlier among Hollywood film companies, and has never been accepted, and the distribution conditions given by Universal Pictures and Paramount Too harsh."

The suppression of DreamWorks has never stopped, and it is impossible to talk about becoming the next target

"Unless the distribution ratio can be reduced, DreamWorks can only choose to cooperate with Orion Pictures." He continued.

The script of "American Beauty" was bought by DreamWorks at a high price of 250,000 US dollars, and the investment budget was 15 million US dollars.

Expectations for the film's overseas box office are high.

"I hope you can think about it."

Sam-Mendez said very seriously: "Orion Pictures' overseas distribution ratio is indeed very favorable, but its influence on the Oscars is not as good as that of Universal Pictures and Paramount."

The box office performance of this film is not bad, and it has already earned more than 40 million US dollars at the box office.

The next focus will be on the Golden Globes and Oscars.

So getting the support of a Hollywood giant is obviously much better than Orion Films.

"I will seriously consider it." Stephen Spielberg showed hesitation.

On this point, Sam Mendes is right. Orion Films’ influence on the Oscars is not comparable to that of traditional Hollywood giants such as Universal Pictures and Paramount.

There is no doubt about the influence of Oscars on a film, and the plot and filming techniques of "American Beauty" are very suitable for impacting Oscars.

Once the film is on the Oscars and wins important awards, the box office in North America will definitely rise sharply, and even affect overseas box office revenue.

This is the biggest charm of Oscar.

Otherwise, without enough commercial value, Hollywood film companies will not spend a lot of public relations funds every year.
