Because the two sides have a strong intention to cooperate, the negotiations are directed to reaching an agreement as soon as possible. Before the new weekend, Shahai Entertainment basically reached an agreement with Martin Scorsese's manager on the most important pay.

Martin Scorsese's director's pay was $6 million, down from the $8 million for "The Aviator" and the same as the previous "The Gangster of New York".

Due to his weak personal style and business attributes, although Martin Scorsese has a great reputation, the highest personal pay is US$8 million for "The Aviator".

Previously, the pay for films remained at around $5 million for many years.

The most important agreement on the film pay means that there will be basically no surprises in the cooperation between the two parties. Although the contract has not been officially signed yet, Martin Scorsese has summoned his filming and production team that he has worked with for many years to officially join the crew and begins to prepare for "The Walker of the Spot".

In addition to the Boston Police Department retired detective Thomas Duff, Andrew Liu also joined the crew as special counsel.

Martin Scorsese was extremely efficient and took the lead in discussing the possibilities of other major actors with Ronan.

For example, he suggested that Mel Gibson play the villain Frank.

Ronan directly refused. Mel Gibson was indeed very suitable for this role, but after losing the copyright lawsuit with Embassy Pictures, he vowed not to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment.

Of course, many times, there is no difference between commercial vows and farting.

But even if Mel Gibson is willing to take on this role, Ronan will not work with him, because he remembers that Mel Gibson seems to have committed suicide in the past two years.

This is different from drinking and taking drugs and other things. As long as the video is filmed, it will not bring too many negative effects, but Mel Gibson's way of taking drugs will seriously drag down the market for the film.

Even, it is possible to get nothing during the awards season.

As for the Kate Winslet recommended by Martin Scorsese or the new Oscar winner Hillary Swank to play the heroine Madeline, Ronan politely rejected.

The latter just won the Oscar Best Actress, and the Oscar Curse has always entangled the Best Actress, and the pay is quite good.

Not to mention Kate Winslet, there is no need to put in too much pay budget for such a role that is not heavy.

Ronan thought of a more suitable candidate. Jessica Chastain, whom he met on the crew of "Iron Man", has guaranteed acting skills and is extremely dedicated.

After communicating with Martin Scorsese, the heroine will solve the problem through an audition, and Ronan also asked someone to send an audition invitation to Jessica Chastain.

When he arrived at Ronan's position, whenever he felt it was appropriate, he would just send an audition invitation, and there was no need to worry about anything else.

In other words, as long as Ronan wants to make an actor famous, it is not difficult.

The former Jessica Chastain gave Ronan a great impression. As a producer, of course, I admire this actor with a high level of professionalism and professionalism.

Like Johnson Depp's performance in the subsequent two films of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it was simply a disaster for the crew.

He is also the producer's disliked actor.

But as long as actors like Johnson Depp have enough commercial value, they will still be one of the most popular actors in the Hollywood circle.

However, they must not go downhill. As long as they go downhill, countless actors, media, directors and producers who have offended before will jump out and can't wait to push them up, hoping that everyone will beat the dog in the water.

When Johnny Depp broke out negative news, he seemed to have become the public enemy of the whole world.

On the part of the villain Frank, the crew finally prepared to invite Jack Nicholson to audition according to Ronan's proposal.

Of course, this is just one of the candidates. The crew needs to measure all factors, one of which is the pay budget.

Jack Nicholson accepted the audition invitation. The veteran movie star called his old lover Meryl Streep and said that he hoped to play the bad guy again after starring in a series of comedy, and that he believed that Frank in the script was the ultimate incarnation of sin.

One thing that cannot be ignored is that as a recognized gold medal producer in and outside the industry, Ronan has a strong attraction to actors. With Martin Scorsese, the appeal is definitely one plus one more than two.

A new weekend is coming, and videos that have gained something at the Oscars ceremony have been rewarded by the Oscar effect.

As the most important film award in North America, it is well known that Oscars are not just about giving away a little golden man, and its subsequent boosting effect on commercial returns, including box office, is obvious.

"Epitaph Storm", a German film that won the best foreign language film, was very obvious driven by the Oscar effect.

In the first weekend of March, the screening of "Epitaph Storm" in North America expanded to 490 theaters, and the revenue of $6.12 million in three days of the weekend was close to $20 million in North America.

This is the first time that the single-stage room of "Epitaped Storm" has exceeded $10,000 on the weekend since the preview weekend.

The ugly duckling, who was short of people before, began to soar because of the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Embassy Pictures estimates that the Oscar effect can last three to four weekends in this film.

In contrast, "When Happiness Comes Knocks", which has a box office of more than $200 million in North America, has received limited Oscar effect bonus. This personal biographical movie is full of commercial attributes and has achieved great commercial success before.

This weekend, the box office of "When Happiness Comes Knocks" in North America rebounded, earning $7.11 million, with a total North American box office of $221.02 million.

However, the film began to be released overseas this weekend, and appeared in theaters in more than 30 countries and regions including Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia. It was stimulated by Will Smith's Oscar winner and earned a total of US$62.89 million in its first weekend overseas.

In the next few weeks, "When Happiness Comes Knocks" will appear in more overseas markets, and the total overseas box office is expected to eventually hit US$200 million.

"When Happiness Comes Knocks" has also passed the review of a large scissor on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and will enter the Eastern film market through formal channels.

Nowadays, training institutions across the Pacific Ocean only sing "Gratitude Heart" is too monotonous, so they should add an extra bowl of chicken soup with a better flavor and richer flavor.

"The Heart of Gratitude" is paired with "When Happiness Comes Knocking the Door", which is a perfect match!

The trainees on the other side of the Pacific Ocean have been so happy afterwards!

As the winner of this year's Best Picture, "Crash" has also received an Oscar effect bonus.

The film expanded its screening to more than 2,600 theaters, and it collected another $14.71 million on the weekend, and the box office in North America exceeded $80 million in one fell swoop, which is very hopeful that North America will hit $100 million.

Similarly, "Crash" has appeared in many overseas markets, but because the theme and content are too American, it is far from enjoying the excellence of "When Happiness Comes Knocks" by Will Smith's bug commercial market bonus, and only earned 21.14 million US dollars overseas in the first weekend.

This purely American film, even with the bonus and promotion of the Oscar best film effect, will eventually be $50 to 60 million overseas box office.

However, for the total investment of only US$12 million in buying out copyrights, promotion and public relations, etc., the profits obtained by "Crash" are still astonishingly high.

The profits that can be generated by operating the Oscars are quite considerable, otherwise there would not be so many videos participating in this fame and fortune game one after another.

Oscar's "Spotting" has been unstoppable after opening the door to prosperity of the Oscar economy.

Under the golden signboard, the box office, the actors benefited from many sources and made a lot of money.

For a movie, the attractiveness of the Oscars is not only a good reputation, highest honor and skyrocketing box office, but also a series of subsequent commercial benefits it brings.

Several TV stations across the United States have begun negotiating with Embassy Pictures about the first round of TV broadcasting rights for "Crash" and "When Happiness Comes Knocks".

Among them, the first round of TV broadcasting rights for "When Happiness Comes Knocks", which has a stronger commercial flavor, has already paid $15 million.

Even for a niche theme like "Crash", the price of the first round of TV broadcast copyright has been raised to $9 million because of the Oscar-best film Little Golden Man!

As for the subsequent second round of TV broadcasts, online on-demand and DVD income, etc., there will be quite gratifying income.

It is not only the films of Relativity Entertainment that enjoyed this bonus. "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Aviator", which earned multiple technical awards, also saw a significant increase in revenue. After this weekend, the North American box office of both films exceeded $100 million.

It is not difficult to see from these that the true face of the Oscars business game.

In fact, "The Hollywood Reporter" has had very professional statistics. In the past fifteen years, a film that won the Oscar heavyweight award has an average income added value of about $30 million in North America, and an average income of various overseas revenues can also increase by $20 million.

The winners are not only films and film companies, but also the winners such as actors and actresses have doubled their value.

The Oscar effect is a force that cannot be ignored, and it largely determines which movies will be remembered.

For movie fans, Oscars are recognition of the quality and viewing value of the film; for actors, directors and screenwriters, Oscars represent professional ability and achievements, as well as more opportunities in their future careers; for producers, Oscars means box office appeal and higher income.

As Relativity Entertainment increases its investment in this Oscar game and plans to focus on Olympic competitions in the next few years, the battle for Oscars will undoubtedly become more intense in the future.

The Oscars have passed and the entertainment industry is still developing. Ronan joins forces with Tom Cruise to start promoting a new plan.
