- China Entertainment 1997 Volume 517 advanced to the Ten Million Dollar Salary Club and won the North American Week Championship. The number of films increased. Cao Xuan and starring Liu Tianxian came to cooperate with the publicity, and the exposure increased greatly, which greatly helped "Taken".
In the next few days, "Taken" has maintained its leading position, even if two new movies were released, it did not shake its leading position.
But not without any impact.
Paramount spent 90 million US dollars to create the best-selling magical children's best-selling book "Fantasy Fairy Event Book".
As we all know, for this kind of children-oriented movie, at least two or three tickets are sold as soon as the tickets are sold, and the parents of the children pack all the tickets, so it is called.
Domestic films like this are generally dominated by animation or comedy films. The North American market is relatively mature, and there is also a market for magical big IP series films such as "Harry Potter". Fantasy themes have also become relatively new themes in Hollywood in recent years. .
Also because of this advantage, "Fantasy Elf World Book" has become the main opponent of "Taken" when "Shuttleman" has already hit the market.
On the contrary, another comedy film "Definite Possibility" produced by Universal has almost nothing outstanding at the word-of-mouth box office.
It can only spoil the situation with the momentum of the first week of the new movie, but it is difficult to influence the key points of the market.
In the following North American weekend box office list, "Taken" won a box office of 17.06 million US dollars with its strong stamina and publicity exposure.
Although it narrowly lost to the US$19.2 million "Fantasy Elf Events Book" and finished second, as a movie that has been released for nearly 20 days, this data is already quite good, and it can even be said to be excellent.
You know, plus the US$6.25 million in the first four days, the box office in a single week is US$23.31 million, which is more than the US$21.08 million in the previous week. It is definitely a typical dark horse at the box office that relies on word of mouth.
Of course, thanks to a bunch of contemporary movies that set off the show, they forced the audience to "Taken".
But the good luck of "Taken" ends here. Next week, "Assassination of Suspicious Clouds", "Doves Occupy the Magpie's Nest", "Oolong Bodyguard", and the next week there will be the sci-fi blockbuster "Ten Thousand Years Before History".
Regardless of the box office performance of these films, the release of so many new films will definitely squeeze the box office space of "Taken".
In fact, when "Taken" was released before, many people thought that "Taken"'s good days were over, but they didn't expect that the performance was mediocre, and it almost made "Taken" surpass the weekend box office list.
However, one can be the other, and "Taken" has survived two blockbuster films with an investment of 80 million US dollars, "The Shuttler" and "Fantasy Elf Event Book".
But next week "Taken" is facing siege, and when the original box office potential is obviously insufficient, let alone breaking through, it can be considered a victory if it can guarantee a certain amount of box office.
Both Xinxian and Cao Xuan knew this, and they didn't imagine that "Taken" would kill the Quartet next week.
In fact, the total North American box office of "Taken" has reached 59 million+ US dollars, and the film's shooting cost + promotional marketing is only a little over 20 million US dollars.
And the North American box office share of "Taken" is about 50%, that is to say, based on the current North American box office data alone, New Line and Fanxing can earn nearly 20 million US dollars.
Not to mention that "Taken" has not yet come to an end. Unlike domestic films, most North American films have a long release cycle, especially popular films, which are released for four to five months everywhere.
Of course, after two or three months, the box office revenue will be negligible, and sometimes it will be thousands or even hundreds of dollars a day.
Even so, if the stamina of "Taken" is really stable, there may be another 20 million US dollars in the box office.
This is a North American box office of 80 million+ US dollars. Before New Line made a desperate investment of 180 million US dollars in the golden compass, the North American box office was only just over 70 million US dollars.
Camila Gallano walks with her face up these days, looking at the high-level executives of the new line who are about to leave with disdain.
A group of insects, let you see who is the real business genius
This "business genius" was not boasted by Gallano, but was personally recognized by Warner executives.
After all, a low-cost overseas movie is expected to earn 80 million US dollars at the box office in North America, and considering that it is an action movie, it may also make a fortune on DVD and TV channels.
Such a professional vision and ability means, how can we not be called a "wizard".
?After the acquisition of the new line, Warner preferred to let Gallano continue to hold the position.Not too far away, and Warner has too many big productions, and New Line will regard "Taken" as a big treasure.
Although "Taken" is already in its early days, its release is limited, and Cao Xuan still prefers to cooperate with medium and large companies other than the six major companies.
That being the case, it is not necessary to be familiar with it, not to mention that the terms offered by the new line are the most favorable.
After thinking for a few minutes, Cao Xuan said under Galano's nervous eyes: "I personally support New Line, but after all, I am not the only one who decides the company, and I have to discuss it with other people."
"No problem, I'll wait for your good news."
Galano was overjoyed, he had investigated Fanxing, and knew that Fanxing was basically equal to Cao Xuan's words, Cao Xuan agreed, and the matter was settled.
In contrast, Gallano is now worried about offering such a generous offer, which is beyond the scope of his authority, and Warner has to nod if he can agree.
After leaving Cao Xuan's mansion, Galano went straight to Warner Corporation, found his backer, Warner First Vice President Richard Fox, and asked for assistance.
Today, the Warner family has basically withdrawn from the direct management of Warner Pictures. President Jeff Robinov is in charge of managing the group. Richard Fox is the second in command, and he is the one who handles the acquisition of New Line.
Gallano is regarded as Richard Fox's confidant, and he definitely wants to support him, but the president Jeff Robinoff definitely doesn't want him to do so.
The new line is not small in size. After joining Warner Pictures, it is also an important part of it. Its president can be compared to the vice president of the group, and it is definitely a core executive.
Richard Fox, the second-in-command, is already strong. If there is another new line president as his henchman, Jeff Robinov, the boss of Warner, will not be easy to be.
However, Richard Fox is not weak, and he is also the person in charge of the new line's merger and acquisition project, and has a high voice in the new line's restructuring.
Gallano was originally a high-level executive on the new line, and Richard Fox helped to fuel the flames. The conditions for the top position are sufficient, but he still lacks key credit.
"Taken" put him in a good position. If he can get a co-operation with the sequel of "Taken" under the watchful eyes of many Hollywood companies, the chances of being in the top position will be even higher.
So when Richard Gallano saw this extremely generous contract for Fanxing, even though he frowned wildly, he still helped to force it.
For this reason, both he and Galano left an excuse. If "Taken 2" fails in the future, the two of them will have nothing to lose.
However, Galano couldn't control that much anymore, and immediately contacted Cao Xuan again after getting the permission from above.
Before Cao Xuan returned to China, the two parties drew up a general agreement on the contract.
In addition to the above-mentioned benefit distribution, "Taken 2" is expected to invest 30-40 million US dollars, 80% of which will be contributed by Stars, and 20% by New Line.
Among them, Cao Xuan's personal salary is a full 11 million U.S. dollars, following Cheng Long and Li Lianjie to officially enter the ten-million-dollar salary club.
Although this movie is produced by Fanxing Master Control, the salary is not particularly accurate, but with the endorsement of Xinxian, at least it is not Cao Xuan's self-entertainment.
By the way, Liu Tianxian, as the heroine of a movie with a box office of over 100 million US dollars, her salary has also skyrocketed several times.
When filming "Hurricane Rescue", I took 2 million RMB, which is not a low price. You must know that Zhou Gongzi, who filmed "Painted Skin", is now paid less than 5 million RMB, and there is no market for the price.
But after "Taken" was released, Liu Tianxian's film salary skyrocketed, and now it has surpassed Mr. Zhou, at 6 to 8 million yuan.
Don't be too high, who made Liu Tianxian now have "international influence", except for Gong Huang, International Chapter, Michelle Yeoh and a few other actresses, there is no other actress who has better overseas box office data than Liu Tianxian.
Therefore, stars big and small are desperately squeezed into Hollywood, gilded around, exported to domestic sales, they are "international stars", and their salaries are skyrocketing.
Especially in the past two years when the film market in the mainland has improved, more and more people dare to spend money. If you meet a local tyrant, you may even spend 10 million yuan on Liu Tianxian.
For this, Da Mimi cried with envy. Her film salary is less than 1 million now, and no one is looking for her to act in the most important good movies.
Bad movies are willing to spend money, but Fanxing definitely can't let the head of the family, Xiaohua, go to a deserted island to sell meat in a bikini for a few million, and he can't afford to lose that person.
Not to mention big honey, even Fan Xiaopang, Gao Yuanyuan and others are envious enough, that's Hollywood.
The gang of them have worked hard for a long time, and they only barely got an international chapter, and they haven't taken on any new dramas for almost two years, and they are fooling around in Hollywood without embarrassment.
In the field of TV dramas, Liu Tianxian became the fairy sister and the first love of the nation without any effort. Now he is starring in the first movie, and the global box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars.
If it wasn't for them to tell tales, if it was really worthless, why would Boss Cao praise her so much.
Because of this, Dongxi Ergong has received countless anonymous text messages in the past few days, reporting and warning them.
We must be careful to guard against Liu Tianxian, by the way, and her mother Liu Xiaoli.
At least one of the mother and daughter is their rival in love, maybe both are
