Chapter 942 Love and Hate

Perhaps Ronan's warning played a role. During the remaining publicity journey, Johnny Depp restrained a lot, at least he did not take the initiative to die. Until the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", there was basically no negative news.

Johnny Depp, who has no negative news, is the best Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the eyes of fans, Johnny Depp is indeed impeccable.

In order to satisfy fans' wishes to sign and take the photo, the meeting can even be extended by half an hour.

So, when Johnny Depp walked on the red carpet on the premiere day, almost all the fans on the scene were in full bloom.

The red carpet directly turned into Johnny Depp's solo show. Even though the scene began to be chaotic, several bodyguards could not stop Johnny Depp's persistence in signing fans.

Jessica Felton stood on the steps in front of the Chiefs Stone Theater and looked at Johnny Depp surrounded by crazy fans and said, "This person is really hard to evaluate."

Ronan said calmly: "Angelics are always with the devil."

Jessica Felton nodded slowly: "Depp is a good idol, but not a dedicated actor."

Ronan smiled: "At least, there is no worse thing."

Stars like Johnny Depp really make Hollywood producers love and hate.

This is the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and the highlight of all film projects in Relativity Entertainment in 2006.

The trilogy is over, and Ronan will not start the fourth part before 2010.

It will even be suspended for a few more years, making "Pirates of the Caribbean" a sentiment for more fans.

To be precise, this series is now the sentiment of many people.

With strong support from inherent fans, newcomers can be attracted by the captain, and even the little blacksmith has a large number of fans.

With the roles of Little Blacksmith Will Turner and Batman, Christian Bale has successfully entered the Hollywood front line.

Twentieth Century Fox is said to have offered a $25 million salary for him to star in "Terminator 4".

Although the little blacksmith is still not as good as Captain Sparrow, with the current development trend, Christian Bale's future path will become wider and wider, and it will be difficult for Johnny Depp to get rid of the captain's image.

Fortunately, Johnny Depp has Tim Burton now. No matter what he shoots, this good friend likes to bring Johnny Depp with him.

As for Keira Knightley, the British actress was basically inseparable from commercial productions after the box office tragedy of "King Arthur".

Whether it is active or passive, she has to work hard in the independent film circle for a long time.

This guy is also a good hand and who ended up playing very badly. He was far from the expected heights of the industry and the media.

Having said that, the British media not only likes tout the British in football, but also in the film industry. Whenever a British actress can emerge in Hollywood, she can't wait to call the name "British Rose".

If you only look at the reports on Fleet Street, you will find that Britain is full of geniuses and superstars are everywhere.

By the third part, the film has completely changed from the situation of the three protagonists to Captain Jack Sparrow as the absolute protagonist.

This is not a purpose-built request, but a market decision.

After several years of unremitting efforts and the thrill of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" being released, this series has finally surpassed "Peppa Pig" and became the most profitable series of projects in Relativity Entertainment.

The first two films have a global box office of nearly 2 billion US dollars. Surrounding products including DVDs make a lot of money for Relativity Entertainment every day. Including various copyright income, the total amount has reached 1.5 billion US dollars.

Among all peripheral products, the most popular related to Captain Jack Sparrow, no one can deny it now. "Captain Jack Sparrow" is one of the biggest elements of the film's success.

Relativity Entertainment will naturally take the market as the leader and make necessary adjustments.

Facts have also proved that this strategy is not a problem.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was the first weekend in North America, and it won $137.56 million in 4,410 theaters.

Since the film was released simultaneously around the world, the world's first weekend's box office reached 321.36 million US dollars!

But this film has a long way to go to make a profit alone, after all, the production cost reached the highest $230 million in the series.

Due to the signing of the trilogy contract in advance, the director and actors were restricted from increasing their rewards.

Especially Johnny Depp, the third film pay is only $15 million.

Many people know that the biggest advantage of long-term contracts is that they can restrict celebrities from bidding wildly in sequel movies.

The rewards for most popular movies, the starring roles cannot be measured by normal market value. The most typical ones are the former Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.

Starring in other films, the two of them could not get $90 million and $75 million in any case.

Relativity Entertainment's total investment in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is as high as US$300 million, and the global box office must reach US$1 billion to ensure that the cost can be recovered through the theater box office.

Profits can only be made through peripheral channels.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" not only needs a good start, but also needs to ensure popularity and continue to attract people's attention.

After the Embassy Films made its box office debut in the first week of the third part, it reached a licensing agreement with Unilever, which won the five-year license for the Pirates of the Caribbean series on toothpaste and soap for $50 million.

Then, Unilever announced that it would develop toothpaste with the "Captain Jack Sparrow" brand.

The news was just announced, and Johnny Depp stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction.

At a promotional notice meeting in the video, the reporter asked: "Now there are many products for sale under the banner of Pirates of the Caribbean. Do you think it's too outrageous and want to stop?"

Johnny Depp directly started spraying: "If I asked me to say, I would say personal hygiene products, and they don't look right. For example, the toothpaste of Captain Jack, who sells toothpaste with gold teeth? It's like a bald man selling shampoo."

Although Johnny Depp strongly opposed it, it would not have any impact on the authorization of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan estimated that after the Australian incident, Relativity Entertainment and Johnny Depp had become disgusted with each other.

On the night when Johnny Depp made these remarks, his agent Tracy Jacob contacted Ronan and apologized solemnly. Ronan didn't say anything, but just asked her to take care of Johnny Depp's mouth.

This little thing would not have made him do anything against Johnny Depp, but Johnny Depp couldn't control his mouth and spit it everywhere, which affected the benefits of relativity entertainment. Even if he didn't do it, someone would take the initiative to take action.

It is really not difficult to make Johnny Depp feel as embarrassed as Tom Cruise once was.

Johnny Depp's black material is much more than Tom Cruise.

But doing so is not good for relativity entertainment. After all, relativity entertainment also needs to borrow Depp to sell all kinds of pirates.

Ronan also seriously considered whether he would still work with Johnny Depp if he planned "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"?

The contract between the two parties has expired, and Johnny Depp will definitely dare to ask for a $50 million salary plus various messy additional terms...

Perhaps, I can only wait for Johnny Depp to fail a few times and then consider this issue after he is clear-headed.

The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy was completed, and the formation of Captain Jack Sparrow by Johnny Depp was gradually fixed.

With the end of the trilogy, the creative team of "Pirates of the Caribbean" also fell apart, and most of them ended their cooperation with Relativity Entertainment.

Gore Vibinsky switched to Paramount Pictures and worked with Nicholas Cage on Weather Forecaster.

Although Johnny Depp was afraid of Ronan's power, he would occasionally say a few words of dissatisfaction with the theory of relativity entertainment, and the relationship between the two sides was shaking back and forth on the brink of breaking.

Christian Bale is very popular and can get $20 million + pay, and there is no shortage of project selection. The recently confirmed starring "Terminator 4" has a production budget of up to $200 million, which is highly expected by 20 Century Fox.

The situation for Kayla Knightley is obvious. The box office defeat of "King Arthur" has caused Hollywood to have great doubts about her commercial value. Relativity Entertainment is no exception. It is impossible to collaborate with Kayla Knightley to produce a large-scale commercial film project in the future.

During the Independence Day holiday, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" dominated the North American film market. One weekend afterwards, other films were still afraid of it. The only one who really started painting on a large scale was "The Little Beauty of the Sunshine" released by Fox Searchlight.

Of course, no one can expect the box office of such low-cost independent films to be very good. After all, the audience and the scale of promotion and promotion investment are here. No matter how good the filming is, it is impossible to pose a threat to a commercial blockbuster like "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

But in the small-cost film, the market response of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" is also quite outstanding.

In the first week of North America's release, the film received $7.37 million in nearly 1,600 theaters.

According to the estimates of ema score, the North American box office of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" is likely to exceed $50 million.

Compared with the production cost of less than 10 million US dollars, it can undoubtedly be included in the type of small profits.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" won the North American box office championship for US$57.24 million. Coupled with previous Independence Day holidays, the cumulative box office in North America has reached US$238.94 million.

Overseas, the popularity of the film continues to rise, and the global box office is approaching $500 million.

The final global box office is likely to exceed $1 billion.

Like the previous two movies, Relativity Entertainment is enough to recover all costs through the single channel of theater box office alone.

At the same time, the North American box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors" is close to US$200 million, and the global box office has exceeded US$400 million.

This uniquely-style big-production film has generated considerable profits through the box office.

Not only male audiences, but also won the support of a large number of female audiences.

Many people even regret that the scale is still too small.
