    Jiahe Entertainment and Sasha Entertainment both have many plans for 2009, as do Abao Animation and Marvel Comics.  For example, "Angels and Demons" was released in May this year. This is a large-scale production of Sasha Entertainment with an investment of up to 150 million US dollars.  As a sequel to "The Da Vinci Code" that brought Sasha Entertainment $758 million in global box office in 2006, it is worth paying such a large cost.  However, this movie failed to make waves as the first one. Although it received a good reputation, it only earned a mediocre box office of US$133 million in North America and US$486 million globally.  I made money, but I didn't make as much as I imagined. Of course, as long as I can make money, there's no problem in making a sequel.  Sasha Entertainment has already negotiated with the original author Dan Brown, but Brown has begun writing the third novel, named "The Lost Symbol". It is expected to be completed in 2010, and the film adaptation will be arranged at that time.  Unfortunately, Ron Howard, the director of the first two films, has decided to withdraw from the creation of the third film due to the failure of the sequel.  This is bad news for "The Lost Symbol". The new director selection, script creation, and shooting time have all been postponed and discussed, waiting for the right time to make a decision.  .  The slight setback of the Da Vinci Code series did not shake Sasha Entertainment. On the contrary, a movie "The Hangover" written by Wan Xiaohu was released in June and was a great success.  Wan Xiaohu registered the script for this comedy movie a long time ago and invited Todd Phillips to direct it last year.  The budget cost was only 35 million, which can be said to be a small cost, but it caused a huge sensation in North America. The three-day opening weekend cost $44.98 million, which was quite satisfactory, but the three-day drop in the next weekend was 27.1%.  It took in 32.79 million U.S. dollars. In the three days of the third weekend, it only dropped 18.4%, taking in 26.75 million U.S. dollars, becoming the summer blockbuster movie with the smallest decrease.  So the entire box office journey ended, taking in $277 million in North America alone.  Overseas, due to different cultural constraints, it only took 190 million, with a total box office of 467 million US dollars, making a huge profit.  The movie was a hit, and accordingly, Sasha Entertainment immediately announced that the sequel "The Hangover 2" has entered the creation stage.  Except for these two movies.  The film "The Hurt Locker", which has high hopes for the Olympics, will begin its journey to the Olympics in September this year.  The seventh part of the "Saw" series, "Saw 7", will be released on Halloween as always. As for whether this will be the last one, the decision needs to be made at the box office.  In addition, in addition to five or six low-budget films with no big expectations, Sasha Entertainment also has two films that have attracted much attention.  One of them is "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", the second part of the "Twilight" series, with the first part successfully setting an example.  The legions of fans of the novels guarantee that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has a bright future.  The other one was a bit unsettling.  This movie is a movie of the same name adapted from the comic "Sherlock Holmes" created by Lionel Wigram. As a reborn person, Wan Xiaohu will naturally not let this series go.  After the comic came out, Wan Xiaohu asked his assistant to buy the copyright of the comic, and then found a group of Sherlock Holmes fans to start writing scripts and filming.  The director is Guy Ritchie, who has filmed "Two Smoking Barrels" and "The Kid".  Speaking of which, this director and Wan Xiaohu have some connections.  Wan Xiaohu's creative idea "Crazy Stone" for Ning Hao was to imitate "Two Smoking Barrels", and the copyright of this film happened to be in the hands of Summit Entertainment, which was absorbed by Sasha Entertainment.  Guy Ritchie has made several movies in the past few years, and all of them have been terrible, so "Sherlock Holmes" is also worrying. However, Wan Xiaohu, who knew the outcome, asked the producer to make arrangements with Guy Ritchie early on.  With preparations for a sequel, this is destined to be a blockbuster movie.  With these blockbuster movies, it will not be a problem for Sasha Entertainment to enter the top six movie companies in Hollywood's annual box office, or even squeeze into the top three in box office revenue.  Even more pleasant is the end of the year.  Sasha Entertainment has invested US$85 million. The masterpiece "Avatar" is about to be released, and the 3D revolution is coming.  In the 3D movie revolution, Sasha Entertainment, which has already made all preparations, is destined to be one of the winners.  ?Compared with the coquettish Sasha Entertainment.  Golden Harvest Entertainment is much more low-key. There are 13 movies scheduled this year. Among them, only "The Overheard", "The Road" and "October Siege" are promoted more heavily, and the rest are small-scale projects.  At the same time, its Dandelion Film Investment Company also has some overseas film investments, such as the Sino-Indian co-production "Three Idiots in Bollywood", the Sino-Korean co-production "National Representative", "Haeundae", etc.  In terms of movies, Jiahe Entertainment cannot compete with Sasha Entertainment, but the pan-entertainment industry chain is not free. In terms of TV series and entertainment programs, Jiahe Entertainment is very productive, and the development of surrounding industries is also gradually developing. For example, it undertook the construction of Marvel Comics.  Several theme parks.  It is planned to build a superhero theme park in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. The plan not onlyIn addition to the old and American superheroes, China¡¯s own superheroes will also be added in the future, as well as various themes from movies under Abao Animation and Sasha Entertainment.  At the same time, the scale of theater chains and movie theaters continues to expand. 3D theaters and IMAX theaters are being vigorously constructed. Even giant screens in China are about to be developed and theaters are planned.  In order to cope with the increasingly hot Chinese film market, Golden Harvest Entertainment is simply exploding production capacity.  How big is the Chinese film market?  Wan Xiaohu only knows that in January 2014, there were several movies that took billions in box office.  According to this momentum, it will not be a problem for the total box office in 2014 to exceed 30 billion.  What he didn¡¯t know was that the Chinese film market in the first half of 2014 was RMB 13.4 billion. When the domestic film protection month in July passes, another round of Hollywood blockbusters will be released in August. In October, famous directors will start competing for the Lunar New Year slots.  30 billion a year is a piece of cake.  What he doesn¡¯t know yet is that in 2014, the first movie with a box office of 2 billion yuan in mainland China is about to appear.  "Transformers 4" has refreshed the world's filmmakers' new understanding with the mainland market box office (320 million U.S. dollars) exceeding the North American market box office (236 million U.S. dollars). There seems to be no bottleneck at all in the Chinese market. It is basically a rush.  Aiming to surpass the North American market.     Now.  In 2009, countless filmmakers saw the explosive power of the Chinese film market, but they did not look far enough, because so far, the Chinese film market has a box office record.  It¡¯s still the RMB 421.9 million maintained by ¡°Kung Fu Panda¡±.  For filmmakers, the number 1 billion is simply unthinkable.  Wan Xiaohu dares to think about it, but he only knows that "Avatar" will maintain the championship for several years with 1.36 billion yuan, as for "Transformers 4"'s 2 billion.  Wan Xiaohu probably didn¡¯t dare to think about it yet.  "Tiger, the performance of "Up" is very good. Abao Animation's output of one cartoon a year is too low. We should continue to increase investment!" Andrew Stanton, CEO of Abao Animation, said excitedly during the video conference  explain.  Today is June 28th.  The bosses of each company under Tiger Ruiya held a video conference.  Summarize the first half of the year and plan for the second half.  "The opening result of "Up" is 68.1 million U.S. dollars, and its reputation is very high. It has already achieved a box office of 250 million U.S. dollars in North America and more than 400 million U.S. dollars overseas. It is easy to reach a box office of 700 million U.S. dollars. Tiger. We need  More cartoon scripts! " "Up" is "Up", a script written by Wan Xiaohu. It tells the story of an old man who once agreed with his wife to travel to a waterfall in remote South America, but he never made it because of his busy life.  He was able to make the trip, but it was only when the government wanted to demolish his old house that he decided to take the house with him to fly to the waterfall. On the way, he had an adventure experience with Russell, a little fat man he met.  A touching animated film, it is also the winner of Annie Award and Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.  Wan Xiaohu spread his hands: "Then go buy it and find someone to create it!" "Don't you provide us with some creative ideas?" "What?" Wan Xiaohu was stunned, "You regard me as the source of creative ideas? You  Think of me as a god, yes. I have provided many scripts before, but the company cannot be supported by me alone. Andrew, you are the head of Abao Animation. The scripts and creativity are your business no longer.  What can I provide? In fact, I don¡¯t have that much creativity anymore.¡± Wan Xiaohu was a little speechless. His previous performance was too coquettish, and the script he provided was simply a money printing machine.  The consequence is that the company makes a lot of money, but the employees suffer from dependence, which is not a good phenomenon.  After all, Wan Xiaohu's memory is limited. So far, he has got all he can get, and any more will be gone.  "Wow, okay, I'll go talk to the employees again. In fact, they also have some good ideas. It's just that the script you provided Tiger is so comfortable that it's a sure profit." Andrew Stanton shrugged. In fact,  This is just a compliment, there are many movies planned by Abao Animation that have nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu.  "There is no business that does not lose money. I can only say that until now, I have been very lucky." "Oh, yes, everyone." Andrew Stanton paused before saying, "Disney is planning to acquire Pixar. I think,  Abao Animation should also make some preparations, otherwise it will not be able to compete with Disney. "Disney is the undisputed leader in the field of animation, and Pixar is the leader in animated films. Once Disney completes the acquisition of Pixar, it will not only be  It's as simple as joining forces.  "What do you think?" Su Ya asked in the video.  "My idea is that DreamWorks seems to be splitting up. Both film studios and animation studios are looking for buyers. If Abao Animation can acquire DreamWorks Animation Studio, it will make a qualitative leap." Andrew Stein  Dun spoke his mind.  Adam Ferguson also interjected: "In fact, Sasha Entertainment internally??There is also a proposal to acquire the DreamWorks movie studio.  " "Are you sure?  "Wan Xiaohu touched his chin. "It's not very big. After all, it's not just us who want DreamWorks, but also several big studios.  But in business, sincerity is very important.  " "Well, let's talk about it in detail" The video conference lasted for more than an hour. After cutting off other people's videos, Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya whispered together. "Hey, Xiaohu, I miss you.  .  " "I miss you and Yangyang too. By the way, come to visit the crew tomorrow and bring Yangyang over.  "    "Do you have the time?  " "Take time.  " "Forget it, you will return to the capital in two weeks to attend the premiere of "Time Planning Bureau", just bear with it.  It¡¯s important that you make a movie.  " "Making a movie is not as important as you.  " "Gee, I love hearing this. Are you saying it from your heart?  " Wan Xiaohu put his hands on his heart and made a loudspeaker gesture: "Listen, it is talking, every day, every night.  ¡± Su Ya¡¯s smile is like a hundred flowers blooming.
