    After summarizing the film situation of the previous year, the company's meeting then entered into the work layout for the new year.  "In January and February this year, we will still focus on low-cost independent productions and films purchased from major film festivals. In March, "Weakness" will be released" Summit Entertainment Vice President David Jocko  I introduce.  "Weakness" is adapted from the work "Weakness: Progress of the Game" by writer Michael Orr. The film and television rights were purchased by Shao Shuaijun a long time ago. It was not until last year that it was adapted into a movie script by the screenwriting department and invited John Lee Han.  Director Kirk directs.  The novel is based on the extraordinary experience of Michael Oher, a first-round draft pick of the National Football League (NFL) in 2009.  He was once an orphan. Before he became a sports professional, he became autistic and silent due to the influence of street gangs and a drug-addicted mother. Later, he felt the warmth of family in his adoptive family, and through his own efforts, he was influenced by the school and others.  Recognition, eventually earning a scholarship to the University of Mississippi and graduating to the NFL.  This is a heart-warming inspirational story. Shao Shuaijun liked this movie adapted from a true story very much in his previous life, but he couldn't remember the box office of the movie, so he kept it on the shelf without starting it.  Now that Summit Entertainment has a lot of money, it needs this kind of positive energy movie to beautify the smell of copper. Moreover, this movie has no investment of 30 million, and the cost is very small. Even if it loses money, it won't be much compensation.  Only then did "Weakness" start.  "Red Flame Battlefield 2" will be released in April, which is the sequel to last year's low-cost superhero film "Red Flame Battlefield". Summit Entertainment and DC Comics, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., have also signed a recycling contract, and the copyright will automatically expire when the expiration date is reached.  Return, so take advantage of the fact that you can make money now, and make it as soon as possible.  Just like others hold on to the copyright of Marvel Comics and refuse to return it, Summit Entertainment rarely holds on to other people's copyright. If it doesn't play badly, wouldn't it be a big loss?  In fact, "Red Flame Battlefield 2" has not yet been released, and the screenwriting department is already working on the script of "Red Flame Battlefield 3".  May is the highlight of the collaboration between Summit Entertainment and Marvel Comics. "Thor", the fourth movie of the first trio of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will begin its global release.  "Thor" is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Shaw Brothers general Jake Gyllenhaal.  In June, the comedy movie "Magic Mike", adapted from the personal story of Channing Tatum, the star of "So You Think You Can Dance" and co-written by Shao Shuaijun, will be released.  This movie is based on Channing Tatum's experience as a stripper in Tampa, Florida when he was 19 years old. He is also the producer of this movie and has a good cooperation with Summit Entertainment.  If "Magic Mike" is successful, the next sequel has been agreed upon and will be directed by Channing Tatum himself.  Chan Ning is very confident in the movie, because the cost of "Magic Mike" is only 7 million US dollars, and if he gets 20 million US dollars, he will make money.  In July, another highlight of Summit Entertainment, the last part of the "Twilight" series, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)" made a shocking debut.  Beginning in 2006, the first four films in this series have created a series of brilliant achievements and are the cornerstone of the rise of Summit Entertainment. They are also currently ranked third in the world after the "Harry Potter" series and the "Lord of the Rings" series.  The movie adaptation of the popular best-selling novel.  If possible, Summit Entertainment never wants this series to end. Unfortunately, the original author Mel Stephanie has already told all that needs to be said about this story.  August is another major event between Summit Entertainment and Marvel Comics. "Captain America," the fifth movie of the first trio of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will begin its global release.  "Captain America" ??is directed by Joe Johnston and stars Chris Evans. It tells the story of Steve Roger, who was injected with the super soldier serum during World War II, and fought against the Nazi Hydra Legion.  In September, the sequel to "The Expendables", "The Expendables 2", started again, and it is still a large collection of action superstars.  "The Warren Files" is scheduled to be released in October. This horror film directed by Chinese director James Wan is an attempt by Summit Entertainment, and its box office expectations are not high.  However, recently, producers Tony DeRosa Grund and James Wan felt that the name "The Warren Files" did not reflect the horror essence of the movie enough, and planned to change the name of the movie to "The Conjuring".  The story of the movie "The Conjuring" comes from Andrea Perron's novel "True Story: House of Darkness, House of Light", which records the true experience of the Perron family living in Rhode Island who encountered supernatural events.  Basically it can be considered a prequel to the 1979 classic horror movie "The Amityville Horror".  In addition to "The Conjuring", another movie has been reserved for the October schedule, which is the second-shot version of "The Night Watcher" directed by Shao Shuaijun himself.  Because the second filming of the movie has not yet begun, it has not yet been determined whether to use a new name or continue to use "The Night Watcher".  "The Hunger Games" series in NovemberThe second part of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is about to be released. "The Hunger Games" has set many local records, and its sequel is also widely optimistic. It was a box office heavyweight bomb in 2011.  As a replacement for the "Twilight" series, the first part of "The Hunger Games" has made a very good start. It can be expected that the box office of this series will very likely surpass the Twilight series.  December is still to be determined, because Marvel Comics Movie Studio and Summit Entertainment¡¯s Screenwriting Department are writing the Punisher¡¯s movie script. It is difficult to say whether the Punisher will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe trio.  If confirmed and production goes smoothly, the superhero movie tentatively titled "Punisher: Downfall" will be released in December.  Throughout 2011, Summit Entertainment had a full schedule again. Many movies were scheduled to be released in 2012, and many sequels were even too late to be produced.  For example, for the third part of the "Sherlock Holmes" series, the screenwriting department is starting to write it, but we don't know when the meeting will take place, because the starring role of Robert Downey Jr. is not scheduled until after 2013, and he is only cooperating with Summit Entertainment.  There are two big productions, "Avengers" and "Iron Man 3", and there is no time to make Dafu 3.  For example, "Teddy Bear 2" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" have both written scripts, but they couldn't fit in the release schedule, so they were shelved for a long time.  While other companies are worried about which movies will make money, Summit Entertainment is worried about making too many movies to make money, and happiness is a worry.  "Basically, we have made a rough schedule, which can already be completed in 2015." David Joe Cole sighed, "A large part of these movie plans come from sequels. As long as the production is more careful,  They are all movies that are guaranteed to make money. With these movies, our demand for new works has been greatly reduced. I think this is an unfavorable situation. The scale of Summit Entertainment has reached a bottleneck, and we urgently need to expand to accommodate more production capabilities.  A company that cannot innovate is not a good company." Shao Shuaijun took over: "So this is what I said, we have to take a step forward. With the support of these excellent movies, we can take a bigger step forward." Li Xiuxiu said: "For the time being.  It seems that the acquisition of Lionsgate and the establishment of the animation department are necessary expansions. We cannot let Summit Entertainment become a sequel company. We need enough fresh film blood to supplement the company's vitality with our current distribution and production scale.  The demand for special effects will inevitably increase greatly, and the acquisition of Digital Domain and Lucasfilm will also be a logical issue. "Mitchell Bruce nodded: "We are already seizing the time to negotiate at Lionsgate, as for the establishment of animation work.  My opinion is that we might as well acquire a listed company. Walt Disney has already recruited Pixar, which is the dominant player in the animation industry. 20th Century Fox has Blue Sky Animation, Universal Pictures has Illumination Entertainment, and Columbia has Sony Animation.  Even Paramount is cooperating with DreamWorks. With our own strength, it will be difficult for us to fight in the short term. The best way is to acquire it. " "We should not be bad. With the strength of Marvel Comics, we can establish our own.  Animation studio, it¡¯s not that difficult,¡± one executive suggested.  "Marvel Comics is the same as DC Comics. Their strategy is to move from comics to live-action film production. Perhaps two-dimensional comics are very strong, but three-dimensional comics are weak. Therefore, Warner Bros. has not been able to develop an animation department in these years. What we need is not'  "Yes, but we can fight if we can. I propose that we can acquire DreamWorks. If the acquisition fails, we can acquire the British Armand Animation Company," another executive suggested.  There are three major studios in the animated film industry. The oldest one is Disney Animation, followed by Pixar Animation.  Although DreamWorks, founded by the great director Spielberg, was the newest company, it came from behind to become the overlord of animated films. However, after Disney acquired Pixar, DreamWorks was unable to compete.  In addition to these three major studios, there are also well-known studios such as Blue Sky Animation, Illumination Entertainment, Sony Animation, Nicktoons, and Armand Animation.  Currently, I am single and unmarried. The only independent companies are DreamWorks, Nicktoon and Armand Animation.  Nicktoon mainly operates TV channels, so it can be ignored. The only good targets that can be acquired are DreamWorks and Armand.  "Contact DreamWorks first. We are not short of money. If you have to choose, choose the best one." Shao Shuaijun immediately decided, "And we must do it quickly. I heard that the contract between DreamWorks and Paramount has expired, and DreamWorks is already preparing to cooperate with Disney."  Signing a production and sales contract, Disney's plot against DreamWorks is not small. If it is swallowed up again, animated movies will really be unable to restrain Disney. "DreamWorks Animation Studio is a pure animation production company and is not responsible for market distribution. It first worked with Pie.  The cooperation with Ramon expired, and then it cooperated with Disney for distribution. Now DreamWorks is looking for a new publisher, and it is likely that Disney will take a step further and acquire it as a whole.    Now that Summit Entertainment has too much money to hold on to, its executives are gradually getting richer, and they quickly passed the plan to acquire DreamWorks.  Lionsgate¡¯s horror films, DreamWorks¡¯ animations, and Summit Entertainment are piecing together the territory of the movie kingdom piece by piece!  (To be continued.
