Chapter 145 "The Great Wall" Finalized (5/6)
"Wushuang" filming location, Canada, Hong Kong and Thailand
The Canadian part is concentrated in Quebec, for no other reason, just because of its beauty!
Arrived in Montreal, Quebec on July 16, and the shooting ended on July 21…
It's so smooth!
Lu Xiaoran simply gave the crew two days off, not that the filming has been completed, but that Wen Ziren flew over from Los Angeles...
He came to discuss the situation of "The Great Wall" with Lu Xiaoran...
The largest investment in Orange Manufacturing so far cannot be ruined...
...
Orange Manufacturing, Orange Image North American Branch.
The performance declined last year, and the a24 acquisition was acquired. Although it achieved a breakthrough in the Oscars, the box office performance did not exceed 200 million... or even 150 million hits.
Last year, the two finale comedy works of the summer season, "The Wreck of Life" and "The Female Spy".
"The Wreck of Life" directed by Judd Apato is of high quality. The film adapted from the real experience of comedy star Amy Schumer himself has a positive review on Rotten Tomato website, with a revenue of US$108 million in North America and US$134 million worldwide. Although it will not be able to recover the production cost of US$35 million, it has not met the company's expected value.
The starring lineup of "Female Spy" is full of stars, with the support of "Fat Sister" Melissa McCarthy, and the joining of stars such as Jason Statham and Jude Law. The quality of the film is also excellent, and the media ratings are almost the same as "Brathermaids". However, such a comedy masterpiece with excellent quality and luxurious lineup was only $110 million in popularity, and failed to reproduce the style of "Brathermaids" and "Hot Police Flower".
Of course, relying on the horror movies, there are still a bunch of sequels, and the overall results still reach an annual box office revenue of US$860 million. Making money is profitable, but compared with 2014, it is much worse.
This summer, we will simply focus on horror films. "Should the Breath 2" and "Once Turning Off the Lights" cost less than 10 million yuan. Both films also have outstanding reputations, with the freshness of rotten tomatoes reaching 86% and 76% respectively (for horror films, higher than 70% is considered excellent).
At the same time, the box office returns of the two films were also very high. Among them, "After Turning Off the Lights" invested less than 5 million US dollars, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes reached 76%.
More than 21 million US dollars were launched in the first week, and North America's cumulative revenue was more than 65 million US dollars, which exceeded 13 times the production cost, and its global box office reached more than 27 times the cost line.
Both "Annabelle 2" and "Human Cleansing Project 4" continue the success of the previous work.
"Annabelle 2" maintains a high reputation at a horror theme. Moreover, as a horror film series, the Soul-Conjuring Universe has exceeded 100 million in North America in four consecutive episodes, which is rare in the history of horror films.
Of course, this year there is also a comedy "Oolong Agent", with a $50 million investment, a North American box office of $128 million, and a global box office of $214 million...
It's the best comedy movie of the year!
The North American film industry has basically formed a situation where Marvel DCs confront each other, at least in the summer season: the heyday of comic-adapted movies!
Before the summer season, both "Deadpool" and "Batman vs. Superman" performed well, with the box office in North America exceeding $300 million. In the summer season, "Captain America 3" competed with "X Task Force". The former had a North American ticket price of 400 million, while the latter also exceeded 300 million...
Wan Ziren was so envious that she was almost vomiting blood: The box office of the movie "Captain America 3" has been set in the world, which is enough for Orange to make it a year of catching up!
You can count it yourself, "Annabelle 2", "Human Cleansing Plan 4", "Should the Breath 2", "Oolong Agent" has only $420 million in box office...
The global box office has not reached $800 million...
There is no comparison!
Lu Xiaoran said he was very understanding: "They are big productions, and the investment is so high, so it is worth making a lot of money!"
"...It's still Disney's comfort. Every time a character is released, the world's number will be at least 500 million US dollars. If you continue to calculate this, the Marvel series will be able to survive for at least 30 years!"
Thirty years...
You underestimate others too much!
After winning the 20th Century Fox, it will not only take thirty years, but it is estimated that the next fifty years will be built around Marvel!
Lu Xiaoran shrugged: "Who made people decide to take down the copyright of the Marvel series..."
Less gossip, Lu Xiaoran asked him: "The Great Wall" is done?"
"Yeah, it's done..."
“When will you prepare to go?”
“October 28th!”
“…October 28? Will this schedule be too deserted?”
"In November there will be "Doctor Strange", "Where Are Fantastic Beasts", "Strange Oceans", "Star Wars", "Space Traveler", "Martian Rescue"..."
"Ahem... Will "Salvation of Mars" be released in December?"
"Yes, December 23!"
Lu Xiaoran was speechless: "You really respect me!"
Damn, "The Great Wall" can't beat "Star Wars", so let "Martian Rescue" fight?
"I'm considering it comprehensively, otherwise I will arrange for the release of "The Great Wall" on October 1st!"
"…Okay, you can rest assured that the mainland filming of "Great Wall" is scheduled. We cooperate with Wanda. I can't guarantee anything else. The filming and promotion can be guaranteed!"
"We can also win 2,400 theaters to open paintings in "Martian Rescue"!"
“…I’m worried about this?”
2400 cinemas open paintings…
It’s useful. "Quick Gunner" has 45,000 shows per day, with only 11 people per game, which is embarrassing!
After "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", Lin Ergeng tried to lead the box office movies, "I Am a Passerby", "Quick Gunner", and "The Sword of the Third Master" were all losing money...
Do you have a father like Wang Dazui? You can only go back and continue to play supporting roles. You usually have gangster variety shows and post jokes...
...
The total investment of "The Great Wall" is US$150 million. The screenwriter found Ran Ping and William Monaghan (representative work "The Dynasty of Heaven")
According to Wan Ziren's setting, "The Great Wall" has made at least three epic fantasy masterpieces...
Lu Xiaoran didn't care about this. No matter how bad the Great Wall is, it is impossible for him to be as bad as the version of Amou...
As for the scheduled release on October 28, he also thinks that such a big production is quite suitable. No matter when it is released, it will cause a sensation. As long as the reputation is passed, the subsequent box office will not be a problem!
The cost of 150 million US dollars, plus promotion and promotion, is close to 200 million US dollars. The box office in the mainland will have to be 1.5 billion, North America will get 100 million US dollars, and the global box office will exceed 500 million yuan. Even if the cost is recovered and the reputation is guaranteed, the second part will be opened.
Of course, these have to be discussed with Wanda. After all, they are the biggest investors. At the same time, they coordinated the publicity staff and invited Chris Evans to play the male lead. Da Tiantian is the female lead...
Why not look for Matt to be cute?
He is too expensive: Matt Daimeng is a member of the $20 million club, and Chris Evans has a price of $15 million in the Marvel series, and other movies have a price of $8-12 million.
Why is Da Tiantian the number one female lead?
Nonsense, without Da Tiantian, is there still a need for "The Great Wall" to exist?
Chapter completed!
