Hollywood Starts with Animation

In the blink of an eye, it was July 22.

"Fruit Hard Candy" has already been released in theaters for the first weekend. Although Zhu Ke and others have made great efforts in publicity and invested a lot of money, they can't cook with only 300 screens. Hit the high box office.

Topping the box-office chart this weekend is the film "Killing Hour", produced and distributed by Time Warner and released at the same time as "Hard Candy", with a box office of $28.5 million in its first weekend;

Even though "Independence Day" was released in theaters for nearly 20 days, as this year's North American box office champion, it still has good box office potential. This weekend, it won $27.35 million again, ranking second;

"Courage Under Fire", produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox, earned $25 million at the box office this weekend, ranking third;

"A Different Miracle", "Professor Fat Guy", "Evaporation Secret Order", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and other films ranked fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, and their box office this weekend exceeded 15 million Dollars; other films, such as "The Informant," "The Big Wave," "Sunset Park," and others, also had solid box office numbers this weekend.

"Fuck!"

"Nima's movies, all of them are the top 40 movies in North America this year, I'll take the lead and fight them!"

Zucker looked at the box office data and gritted his teeth.

$1.327 million!

That's right, this is the box office result of the first weekend of "Fruit Hard Candy"!

"Boss, there are so many movies right now, our Hard Candy has no advantage, which is to be expected," Victor said.

Zhu Ke nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just saying that, anyway, we're going to get back to our basics."

Director Zach Snyder also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the film does not lose money, I have an explanation."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Zucker patted Zach on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Zach, congratulations, your first movie is a success. Well, apart from the box office, I can still make a profit in terms of DVD and video tape copyrights. pen."

The box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" is indeed not high, but it's not too small when you think about it.

Dude, it's the summer season with a lot of swarms!

Even though many blockbusters have been released in theaters for more than a week, or even two weeks, they are still far more attractive to audiences than niche movies such as "Hard Candy", which can hit the box office of more than one million dollars , is already quite remarkable.

No way, "Fruit Hard Candy" is low cost!

The cost, plus the distribution fee, and the copy of the film, didn't make more than $1.6 million. The box office of this film is expected to be around 5 million US dollars. Only the box office share is enough to pay back the cost. In addition, the licensing and copyright sales fees are all earned.

Even if you don't make much money, you're still making money.

Of the three films that were prepared at the same time, Hard Candy has now been released, leaving only two films, Deadly Bend and Juno.

"Deadly Bend" is a plasma horror film, and of course it will be released on the Halloween schedule;

"Juno" is a youth comedy, a family-friendly film. At present, the filming of the film has not been completed, and it is expected to be released on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

"Boss, I have another good news to tell you." Victor said suddenly.

"Oh? What is it? Hurry up and say it." Zucker urged.

Zach Snyder on the side also showed an interested look.

Victor continued: "Boss, didn't we get the online peripheral authorization for "Independence Day" some time ago, and the good news I want to say is this."

Hearing this, Zucker immediately said: "Of course I remember that the vampires of 20th Century Fox asked me for $1 million.

Hehe, I guess they must regret it now. "

"That's right!" Victor laughed. "They must have regretted it. In less than 20 days, we have accumulated more than $5.5 million in sales of "Independence Day" peripheral products on Amazon.com.

Clap~!

Zhu Ke couldn't help but patted his thigh and said loudly, "Fox's grandchildren are dumbfounded. It's not that easy to take advantage of Lao Tzu."

Zach on the side couldn't help but ask: "So, you can definitely make a lot of money."

Victor nodded and smiled: "It's not how much money you make, but a lot of money. It is estimated that by the end of this month, the online peripheral products of "Independence Day" will bring at least $2 million in profit to the company."

When the words fell, even if Zach didn't understand, he knew that Wald Pictures was going to make a fortune!

The profit in the first month can be as high as 2 million US dollars. In the following time, although the popularity of "Independence Day" will gradually decline, but within two years of licensing, Wald Pictures will definitely be able to reap a lot of dollars.

Zucker is going to make a fortune!

The ancients said: "Blessings do not come singly, and misfortunes do not come singly." Zhu Ke thought it was justified.

Because of the global copyright of "Tarenxiu", the registration was finally successful!

This will also mean that Zucker has dug a gold mine again.

"Victor, you immediately arrange for someone to go to the UK, go to the BBC, and talk to them about the copyright of "Got Talent"." Zucker said immediately.

"Okay, boss."

Victor responded, then left the office and set about arranging people to go to England.

Zach asked curiously, "Mr. Wald, what do you mean by copyright on "The Got Talent"? New movie?"

Zucker shook his head and smiled and said, "Zuck, just call me Zucker as many times as you say it. As for "The Got Talent", it's not a movie, but a variety show planned by me, and I plan to sell it to the BBC."

"Oh......"

Zach said he knew, but he wisely didn't ask any further questions.

Damn it!

He didn't ask any further, but Zhu Ke was suffocated by old blood.

Big brother, why don't you ask, I haven't shown it yet!

You do this, how can I pretend to be forced!

Obviously, Zack Snyder can't imagine how much benefit "Got Talent" will bring to Zucker.

Hundreds of millions of dollars!

......

at the same time.

In a certain office of 20th Century Fox, two people were gnashing their teeth and scolding Zucker for being unkind.

"The online peripheral products of "Independence Day" actually sold nearly 6 million US dollars in turnover in 20 days?!"

"According to the revenue ratio, Wald Pictures will make at least $2 million this month!"

"Damn! We lost a lot!"

"Yeah, it shouldn't have been just $1 million in licensing fees, it should have doubled, no, or we shouldn't have sold licenses. We're 20th Century Fox, and if we run it, Independence Day The sales of online peripheral products are definitely far more than 6 million US dollars!”

They regret it!

However, it was too late to wake up!

The liquidated damages of up to 30 million US dollars make them unable to default at all. Seeing his own big fat being eaten by Zu Ke, let alone how aggrieved the feeling is.

They hated Zucker in their hearts!

If Zucker was here, he would definitely tell them, don't make a fuss man, that's because it's "Independence Day", which is the box office champion in North America this year. If you change it to other films, will you be able to sell it online again?

I want to eat fart!

It's impossible to switch to other films.

Of course, they don't think so at the moment. What they thought was that Zucker took advantage of their own!

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

The employee who went to the UK to negotiate the copyright of "Got Talent" returned to Los Angeles with good news and bad news.

"You mean people from the BBC who are interested in our "Got Talent Show", but don't want to pay how much?" Zucker said, looking at Martha in front of him.

Sister Martha nodded and said: "Yes, their attitude is very firm. It is impossible for the advertisement to be divided, and even if the copyright is purchased, it cannot exceed 3 million pounds."

£3 million? !

Send the beggars!

"If I remember correctly, the copyright fee for the "Got Talent Show" sold by the British to the American NBC TV station is as high as 70 million US dollars." Zucker couldn't help but scolded the BBC for being shameless.

How to break the game?

Zucker immediately fell into thought.

" "The first more is sent.
