- This year's Friday, May 4th is a dividing line. The 258 million super blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" was released globally. This series finale kicked off the summer vacation. Prior to this, after "300" held the North American title for two consecutive weeks, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" occupied the throne for one week, "Skeet 2" for two weeks, and "Rear Window" for three weeks.
¡°Sparta¡±, which has been running for 8 weeks, has already exceeded 200 million at the North American box office and 400 million at the global box office, making it a phenomenon-level movie.
In the past April, there were April Fool¡¯s Day, Easter, and the Jewish Passover. For Manchester United fans, the biggest holiday is the 36th round of the Premier League on April 28. As Chelsea drew 1:1 with Arsenal in the away game, Manchester United, which has been at the top of the list, won the 2006-2006-2006-2006 with a 7-point lead two rounds ahead of schedule. 2007 Premier League Championship!
This is Manchester United¡¯s 9th Premier League championship trophy and the 16th crown in England¡¯s top league.
After winning back the championship after three years, Red Devils fans around the world were jubilant, praising Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs and the superstar mascot Ye Wei hidden in Carrington. "The Sun" joked: "Although Ye Wei did not play for a second, he used Oscar's failure to inspire the Manchester United soldiers to regain the championship."
In many media reviews of Manchester United¡¯s heroes, Ye Wei has been listed among the heroes behind the scenes. It¡¯s been ten years since he smiled!
Some fans who don¡¯t understand football are asking everywhere: ¡°Does this count as the Premier League championship?¡± Forget it? Right?
Many fans are scolding the independent arbitration panel. If Ye Wei's labor certificate is approved, Manchester United will definitely send him to play in the last two rounds! Although Manchester United lost to AC Milan and stopped in the Champions League semi-finals, the main players still have to recharge their batteries to prepare for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on the 19th.
Ye Wei is a legend that attracts global attention as long as he steps on the court, but now he can't even play in the reserve team and is just a joke for some people.
"We are the champions!" Ye Wei's social network is full of excitement about Manchester United winning the championship, and he is ridiculed by many Weihei. What does it have to do with you?
Mainstream sports media make fun of him at most, and it is unreasonable to attack him. Ye Wei has been in Carrington for more than three months since his trial training, and he has not exposed any scandals such as acting like a big name, not having good relations with teammates, or being undisciplined. While filming the movie, he diligently proved his serious attitude with practical actions. Sales of the No. 37 jersey increased steadily, but he had no chance to play.
On this matter, the secretaries became very depressed and angry when it was mentioned.
Those fans who only love movies are grateful to the independent arbitration panel. If Ye Wei had obtained a labor certificate, there might not have been these two movies!
Ye Wei announced on Spotpass and Twitter on April 30 that the post-production of "Bullying Night" was completed. The next step will be internal test screenings before distribution. "There is no such thing as a vampire" announced on the 13th and 20th of this month that two other popular and powerful actresses will join the show: Rachel McAdams and Emily Blunt.
Coupled with Natalie Portman, these three will star together in a movie with a budget of 1 million. Movie fans are not only excited!
The charm of a 19-year-old film genius! The media also noticed an interesting situation. Ye Wei's father is a dentist, Portman's father is a doctor, and McAdams' mother is a nurse. This female medical student set really has her own medical background.
Ye Wei recently strongly recommended on the Internet that his good friend Xavier Dolan's feature film project "I Killed My Mother", which crowdfunded US$500,000 on Diantong, is written, produced, directed and starred by Dolan and tells the story of a story. The complex love-hate relationship between a 16-year-old gay boy and his mother is Dolan's semi-autobiographical story. Damian Rush has joined the cast as the second male lead, playing Dolan's boyfriend. The courage of the lovers who came out was commendable, but Dolan had just turned 18 not long ago.
Dolan was previously best known for his role as Bethenny¡¯s brother in ¡°Soul Surfer¡±. Why is he suddenly making a movie too? Producing, directing and directing at the age of 18? I haven¡¯t made a short film yet! ? Although there is Ye Wei's advertisement and the crowdfunding amount is not high, the financing progress of "I Killed My Mother" is still slow.
But there are also many movie fans who like Dolan, and have they forgotten the Freakers' "Half Nelson" just because Ye Wei said it was okay?
After these days, the overseas box office of "Soul Surfer" has been fixed at 53,749,705, plus the North American box office of 93,062,976, the global box office is 146,812,681. It is undoubtedly the most successful surf movie in history. With Paramount's strong distribution network, "The Lovely Bones" also grossed 125,092,318 overseas, plus 143,100,217 North American box office, with a global box office of 268,192,535, the most successful best-seller One of the movies adapted from the book, it also surpassed 250 million LMS and became Ye Wei's highest-grossing movie.
"Winter's Bone", which was screened for 20 weeks, finally closed with a North American box office of 29,130,267, overseas box office ended at 18,653,131, and a global box office of 47,783,398. Although it?Ye Wei's film with the lowest total box office, as an R-rated bleak literary film with a production fee of 3 million, it was naturally a commercial success.
The DVD of Winter Bone is selling well. It was launched in the United States two months after the Oscar. The average price is 15.9 per set. 472,292 sets have been sold, with sales of 7,509,451.
??For DVDs to sell well, whether they can meet the needs of family viewing is the primary deciding factor.
LMS has sold more than 5.2 million sets of DVDs in the United States so far, with sales of more than 90 million US dollars. This peripheral alone, whether it is a superstar with direct dividend clauses, or a little bit of private dual-payments (residual compensation) due to their respective unions ) The other main creative staff of Feiqian all had smiles on their faces.
Why is it that an actor or a screenwriter doesn't have a high salary, but after one or two masterpieces, even if he later flies to the Pacific Ocean or doesn't work for a long time, he can still live in a beach villa and live a rich life like Charlie in "Two and a Half Men" ? Just because of the existence of the residual compensation clause.
This is one of the specialties of the American film and television industry. It is not a bonus or a dividend. It is only available to online creators such as directors, screenwriters, and starring actors.
For example, in the contract that the Writers Guild forced the Producers Union to sign after a general strike in 1988, the residual remuneration for DVDs was 0.3%, which means that for every LMS sold, about 4 cents went to the screenwriters. The checks kept coming, and Michael Arndt was able to earn more than $200,000 from 5.2 million DVDs.
However, this three-year contract expires on October 31 this year, and every renewal negotiation is a game of multi-party interests. Three years ago, the Writers Guild asked producers to increase royalties, stipulating that the minimum remuneration for original movie scripts from the six major studios was US$106,000 per script. This time, the Writers Guild has set its sights on remaining compensation at the negotiation table for contract renewal.
It¡¯s too little! Not happy, doubling from 0.3% to 0.6% is about the same.
But if it is divided like this, the rules of the game for many years will be messed up. Unlike the level of royalties that only affect the interests of the producer, the residual compensation has a total amount, such as the income generated by each TV broadcast of a movie, 80% 20% belongs to the film producers as the remaining remuneration of the creators.
What about DVDs, TV broadcasts, and other aspects? The screenwriters have been given more. If the directors and starring actors want to continue the current figures, they can only be given more by the producers. But what do the Directors Guild and the Actors Guild think about this? Will it be doubled next time the contract is renewed?
The producers are the ones who take the risk, and the remuneration has already been paid out, but the film loses money but they have to bear it themselves. Why do the creators get so much?
But in the film and television industry, it is normal for a company to stay open for three years if it does not open for a year. The risk for directors and screenwriters lies in their own market conditions. If the film fails and they are knocked out, they still don¡¯t know where to go. Being a star costs a lot of money, and there is no considerable profit. Residual compensation, Hollywood won¡¯t be so lively.
The 0.3% clause has been in use for almost 20 years. During this period, inflation, price increases, and even the Soviet Union disintegrated. This time, the Writers Guild will definitely not give up. At worst, it will go on strike again.
Winter Bone's DVD has sold 470,000 units; the inspirational SS has sold an average of 16.5 units, has sold 2,368,875 units, and has a sales volume of 39,086,449; the mixed feelings TLB has an average selling price of 18.5 , 3,074,325 units have been sold, with sales of 56,875,012.
Although the magnitude is not large, their sales will continue to increase, with discounts and discounts until they drop to about $5 when the stock is removed.
According to estimates by relevant organizations, about 2/3 of the annual profits of Hollywood film and television products come from the rental and sale of video discs. In fact, many times, the promotion of Hollywood films, preparation for awards season, and competition for Oscars are all aimed at selling DVDs. If Winter's Bone had been the best picture at this year's Oscars, it would have sold far more than 1.47 million units by now.
Last year's best picture "Crash" sold only 397,522 units in the four weeks before the Oscars. Sales surged 9% the next week after winning the award, and more than 2.1 million units have been sold so far. "Brokeback Mountain," which received better reviews and had a higher box office, sold just over 1.8 million units. The situation is the same this year. "The Departed" is far ahead with sales of 6.7 million units and 126 million. If this continues, its US DVD sales will be higher than the North American box office.
The total U.S. DVD sales of the Girls Trilogy are currently over 5.91 million units, generating approximately US$250,000 in screenwriter residual remuneration.
So no matter how much Ye Wei¡¯s salary and dividends are, or how much he can earn as an investment producer, just with piles of residual compensation checks, from screenwriter to director, his wealth is inestimable. But what is ridiculed by the industry is that he generously gave Michael Arndt's screenwriter's signature instead of a one-time payment from the script doctor. The result was that one more person shared the 0.3% cake.
The Manchester United mascot who is laughed at for fun is also the creator of these miracles:
With a production cost of only 46.45 million, the 6 films have received a total of 606.9 million North American/387.7 million overseas/994.7 million global box office, making him the youngest member of the billion-dollar director-writer club.
??More than 13 million DVDs sold in the United States.
?Four of the films had six individual Oscar nominations, for a total of 19 nominations. LMS won two awards for supporting actor and original screenplay.
??Bring out a group of future girls with bright stars.
And his seventh movie has been completed, and the shooting of his eighth movie is about to begin. The legend continues.

Jennifer Lawrence, who has received much attention recently, has finally joined a new project: as the co-lead actress in an untitled feature film project directed and starring Jodie Foster, "Babel" screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga will make his directorial debut. A supporting role in the screenwriter's new drama "The Burning Plain".
The investment level of the two independent projects is both 20 million yuan in budget, and both have the potential to win awards and become blockbusters. While girls her age were starring in teen romances, school comedies, and screamo horror films, the 16-year-old Kentucky girl was taking on the role of the darling of the independent literary world.
Of course, when it comes to box office appeal, although Lawrence has an Oscar nomination, he is now ranked behind Emma Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen.
Her embarrassment is that she is not as beautiful as others in youth commercial films. Nina Dobrev's dancing is very attractive to young audiences, and she may contribute "I Love Owls"; she has no chance to act in blockbusters due to her restricted age. She is not above or below 16 years old. For example, Alicia Vikander is already young and mature enough to play a girlfriend, unlike Saoirse Ronan who can play a young girl. Acting in ordinary commercial films will destroy the halo of the youngest actress in the future. Acting in foreign films include British films are trying to destroy the aura of American originality, and they have to carry this banner even if they don't.
Among the core members who have appeared on the cover of "People", only Olsen, who has finished playing "Juno", said he still needs to learn.
Recently, there is another eye-catching teenage actress news. 17-year-old Emma Watson has joined the British BBC TV movie "Ballet Shoes" to star in the heroine. The film will start filming in July and will be broadcast on the Christmas season at the end of the year. .
Previously, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint took over the filming of low-cost movies "December Boys" and "Life Driving Lessons" (released, 48% freshness, global box office of 10,000). , Radcliffe also has one more TV movie "My Son Jack".
"Ballet Shoes" is "Hermione's" first film and television performance outside the "Harry Potter" series. The low grade really surprised many people.
But it¡¯s not particularly surprising. Looking back at Watson¡¯s defeat in the viy audition, media fans wondered how to make ¡°Hermione¡± appear in other movies. Even Ye Wei didn¡¯t take up the problem.
¡¡
On Saturday, May 5th, the UK, which has just celebrated May Day, ushered in another weekend.
Emma Watson received an email from Ye Wei a few days ago, inviting her to attend a mysterious internal screening of "Bullying Night" without media reporters or ordinary audiences. She agreed, finally! This morning she traveled from Oxford to London by herself and then took an hour's flight to Manchester.
The email said Gia Coppola would come to the airport to pick her up and take her to a secret screening location.
Wearing sunglasses and carrying a cross-body bag, she just walked out of the arrival gate of Terminal 2 when she was startled. She saw Ye Wei running from the pick-up lane across the sidewalk. There was a queue of cars in the temporary parking space beside the lane. Passengers They are coming and going.
"Follow me! Something happened to Gia." Ye Wei ran back and forth, opening the passenger door of his white Volkswagen Tiguan, "There's no time to explain, get in the car!"
She didn¡¯t want to spread the scandal with him at all, so she quickly walked over to the car and closed the door. At the same time, he quickly got into the driver¡¯s seat and started the car.
I don¡¯t know if any passengers around me have noticed that the Volkswagen has already driven far away and is accelerating forward.
¡°What happened to Gia Coppola?¡±
