In terms of live-action fairy tale movies, in addition to the filming and production of "Alice in Wonderland", the only one that has been put on the agenda by Ronan is the only one of the projects "Beauty and the Beast".

As Shahai Entertainment funds return, the manpower will be alleviated, and more real-life fairy tale movie projects will be launched.

For example, "Sleeping Beauty", "Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", "The Lion King" and "Cinderella", etc.

These are of great value to adapt and shoot live-action movies.

The script adaptation is similar to "Beauty and the Beast". It doesn't matter what the original fairy tale looks like. The first thing to follow is the plot of the animated feature film.

Sentiment is one of the biggest selling points of these live-action fairy tale movies.

In addition, things like "Fantasy Forest" also have operational value.

As for "Mulan", Ronan is relatively cautious.

This prudence does not come from the movie itself, but from the movie. After all, it is not easy for a film to have good box office results in North America, but also to be widely accepted by the audience across the Pacific.

If you don’t do it well, it will be unpleasant from inside and outside, and at the same time it will ruin the company’s reputation and become the target of attack.

Ronan knows very well that excellent movies have no borders, but the audience has borders.

Therefore, some aspects must be cautious.

For example, he would never let Marvel Entertainment make the so-called Oriental superhero movie.

This is typical thankless.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is no mention of the opposite Pacific Ocean to avoid the power of large scissors.

It is actually not wise to deliberately please. According to Ronan's previous experience, it is actually the safest to completely ignore the existence of the other side of the Pacific in Hollywood movies.

Just like the strategy adopted by Relativity Entertainment.

Business is carried out normally, keep a certain distance, and always remain silent.

"Superman" has also entered the Eastern film market. Just like other animated films at Pixar Studios, it has been a constant stream of praise, but it is not popular at all. The box office is mediocre and has gained very little.

Pixar Studio's works have always been unacceptable to the environment on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

It is also difficult for good movies to kill the whole world.

Pixar Studios' animated feature films are almost unanimously disappointing in the Oriental Cinema.

However, at the home court of Hollywood in North America, Pixar Studios' animated feature film still maintains enough popularity. In addition to box office, offline channels have also begun to generate revenue for relativity entertainment.

Once Hollywood animated movies sell well at the box office, the profits in the surrounding areas are often amazingly high.

Less than a week after "Superman" was released, it brought sales revenue of up to US$39.8 million to Relativity Entertainment offline channels.

You know, various copyright licensing negotiations about this movie have not yet begun.

It doesn't matter if the copyright authorization of popular cartoons sells hundreds of millions of dollars.

As Thanksgiving approaches, the popularity of the North American film market has risen again, and more and more movies have begun to be released in large numbers.

In the new weekend, there are several films with more than 2,000 theaters, including many works with high popularity, such as "Charlotte's Web" released by Paramount Pictures, "Borat" produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox, and "The Super Time and Space Effect" produced and released by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, etc.

The latter is starring Denzel Washington, the Oscar winner.

Although this is the second weekend before Thanksgiving, the intention of these videos to get a share of the Thanksgiving schedule is very obvious.

To a certain extent, these videos were also driven by the crowd.

Because the next weekend, the weekend before Thanksgiving, there is a sequel to a super popular movie released - "Museum Night 2".

The sequels of successful movies have never been easy to mess with, and everyone knows this, so no movie is willing to collide head-on with the first "Museum Night 2", which was super popular.

These films were released in a big way, and each of them hoped to be the final winner, but they could not defeat the strength of the other companies.

Instead, "Superman" released the following weekend, robbed the championship from many newly released films with the super stable trend of animated films and won the championship in the North American box office list this weekend.

Compared with the first week of release, "Superman"'s box office fell by less than 30% the next weekend, and closed at $54.17 million in three days!

This super stable trend also helped the film's North American box office exceed 150 million US dollars in one fell swoop, with a cumulative amount of up to 152.78 million US dollars.

Among the newly released films, the highest-grossing box office was 20th Century Fox's "Borat", but the opening weekend earned only $26.11 million, so I could only look up to "Superman Mobilization".

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the data from various aspects of the North American film market this year undoubtedly proves that this is a movie New Year. There are very few commercial movies that have really sold well, and the box office annual champion was also booked early in the year for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World".

The major Hollywood film companies, except for the same stable production and quality relativity entertainment, seem to lack masterpieces this year.

Originally, Warner Bros. was highly expected, but the failure of "Superman Return" made Warner Bros. change the schedule of many films and aim more at the future.

At the same time, the North American awards season has also kicked off, and many films that are interested in winning the award this year have also increased their publicity efforts.

This year, three films under Relativity Entertainment will launch an impact on the Oscars during the awards season, namely "The Walker of the Insular" directed by Martin Scorsese, "Juno" directed by Sofia Coppola and "Superman" from Pixar Studios.

The latter has the most clear goals and the possibility of winning the award is the best feature film. In the years when Pixar Studios animation films are released, DreamWorks Animation Studio generally runs with him and Pixar Studios wins the award.

The theme of "Juno" and the resource investment of relativity entertainment decided that this is a running film. How many people can get the nomination? The Oscar Little Golden Man basically has little hope.

"The Walker of the Side" will not be released in North America until December. It is the number one highlight of Relativity Entertainment this awards season. The primary goal is Best Picture, followed by Tom Cruise's Best Actor and Martin Scorsese's Best Director Awards.

Compared to the last time "The Aviator" that won the Oscar, Martin Scorsese, who returned to the gangster theme, is undoubtedly much more confident.

Moreover, the previous failure was precisely the qualifications of this time.

Ronan also took time to talk to Martin Scorsese about the awards promotions during this awards ceremony season. Compared to the previous time, Martin Scorsese's mentality has become much calmer and is not so anxious.

Even if this failure is not the end of the world for Martin Scorsese. Clint Eastwood is so old and can still direct the film, and Martin Scorsese can do it too.

The key to Ronan's advice is to make Martin Scorsese not high-profile, and he doesn't need to be high-profile.

As long as "The Walker of the Stroke" is released normally, the whole world knows that Martin Scorsese is going to win the Oscars for Best Director and Best Film again, so there is no need to say it clearly.

Too high-profile will make people feel that it is too deliberate, which may cause disgust among some neutrals and become a loss of points.

In fact, as long as you follow the steps to win the award, Ronan feels that Martin Scorsese's chances of winning are infinite.

A surprise victory or something is not suitable for the movies directed by Martin Scorsese and him.

As for Tom Cruise's best actor, Ronan also talked specifically to Tom Cruise.

Perhaps it was the entanglement with his former agent Pat Jinsili a few years ago. Tom Cruise has a good attitude now: "I am of course happy to win the Best Actor Little Golden Man, and it doesn't matter if I can't. Actually, I understand that this Best Actor is just a icing on the cake for me now, and it can no longer affect my status in Hollywood."

Ronan also agreed with Tom Cruise's words: "Oscars are more of an honor to you and are optional in other aspects, but Embassy Film will actively communicate with you. As long as we have the opportunity, we will strive to win back the Little Golden Man."

"I've also got $5 million ready here, so you let the Embassy Films contact my team and keep in touch."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "No problem."

"How big is Martin's award?" Tom Cruise asked curiously.

Ronan directly replied: "No matter who the competitor is, Martin has the greatest chance of winning."

This has nothing to do with "The Walker of the Spot", but the capital accumulated by Martin Scorsese over the years.

Tom Cruise reminded: "Clint Eastwood is here again this year, and it will be released in December of the New Year, so you must be careful."

"I know." Ronan has a rough understanding: "The old cowboy used the shooting shots of one film and cut two movies, which is indeed quite amazing. But he just won the Best Director Xiao Jinren two years ago, so it was impossible to get another one immediately."

As for judges' voting, it is usually rare to vote for those who have just won the award recently.

Moreover, although "The Flag of the Father" and "Letter from Iwo Jima" are good, they are not considered top-notch in works directed by Clint Eastwood.

The two then discussed the potential competitors of Best Actor.

In fact, the overall competitive strength of Best Actor in this Oscar is not strong, but Ronan vaguely remembers that he was once a black actor who won the Oscar winner this year.

Compared to the natural skin color advantage of black people, Tom Cruise doesn't seem to have much advantage.

Ronan didn't think much about it. I can only talk about this kind of thing at that time. Since the new century, Oscars have produced too many black actors, and perhaps the judges should have a balance.

After all, it is not yet reached the point where the nomination criteria are measured by skin color.
