Angelina Jolie looked nervous, her eyes fixed on the game screen, looking very serious.
A few days ago, she asked her agent to buy the "Tomb Raider" game, a female hero adventure game similar to Indiana Jones, with a very unique style.
What moved her most was that the protagonist Laura of the game was not only full of British aristocratic demeanor, but the entire game plot revolved around the heroine Laura.
To put it bluntly, he is the absolute protagonist in the main line of the game.
"How's the game going!" Ryan leaned over to Angelina-Jolie and took a look.
"It's not bad." Angelina Jolie played for a while, put the game controller aside, and stretched her hands.
Ryan sat down next to Angelina-Jolie, "In the promotional activities of future videos, you need to operate the game yourself."
"The technology can be a little bit worse, but it must be proficient enough."
Faced with a film with a budget of US$75 million to US$80 million, Angelina Jolie simply could not refuse to play the role of the absolute heroine in the film.
A contract was signed with Orion Films a few days ago.
"Don't worry, I'm more talented in playing games." Angelina Jolie is very confident about this.
For the past few days, she has insisted on being familiar with the content and operation of the game almost every day, at least proficient in it, which is no worse than some ordinary players.
"Okay." Ryan put his arms around Angelina Jolie's waist, "According to the shooting requirements, next, you need to find time to participate in physical training."
"Tomb Raider" is an action-adventure movie, and Angelina Jolie has to do many shots herself.
So Angelina - Jolie needs to participate in some training on basic subjects.
"OK."
"I'm available anytime." Angelina Jolie didn't care about training,
The first movie "The Shadowless Terminator" she starred in was an action movie, and she was no stranger to some basic training.
"Besides, my body is very flexible, and I can do a lot of movements." After speaking, Angelina-Jolie showed a charming look, "Would you like to try it yourself!"
Angelina Jolie, who was born as a model, is indeed very good in terms of body flexibility.
Ryan has experienced this for himself.
"Good suggestion." Ryan's eyes lit up, subconsciously, he gently stroked her lower abdomen.
All of a sudden, there was an excited voice in the living room. Angelina Jolie worked harder than usual, and Ryan enjoyed a difficult movement and flexibility.
(...10,000 words omitted...)
In the morning, the sky was already faintly white, and the light fell into the bedroom through the window.
Ryan sat up, looked at Angelina Jolie who was naked in his arms, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt indescribably proud all over his body.
He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, it was only less than six o'clock.
Then, Ryan kissed Angelina Jolie's forehead lightly, carefully lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed, so as not to disturb the sleeping Angelina Jolie.
While enjoying, Ryan has always been nice to his girlfriend, otherwise he would not have enjoyed the top service.
Not long after, I came to the study, closed the door, Ryan sat on the seat, took out a script, and carefully revised it.
He always felt dissatisfied with the script of "Tomb Raider". The main plot and ending of the original film were somewhat nonsense.
Turning a good Indiana Jones-like female adventure action movie into a Marvel superhero movie.
What manipulation of time and space!
Save the planet!
If it weren't for Angelina Jolie's **** figure and fighting moves, the whole film would hardly make people want to watch it.
The original "Tomb Raider" had a budget of 80 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office was only 131 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 274 million U.S. dollars.
If the high publicity costs are included, it will be difficult for Paramount to recover its investment from the box office.
Fortunately, the peripheral products of "Tomb Raider" are selling well, and Paramount has made a fortune.
However, the investment in "Tomb Raider 2" was as high as 90 million U.S. dollars, but the North American box office was only 67 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 156 million U.S. dollars.
Not to mention the failure at the box office, Angelina Jolie outright declined to star in the next film in the series.
It can be regarded as completely ruining a good series of films.
Having said that, I have to complain that Paramount may not be as good as Sony Pictures in terms of the operation of the series of films.
In the previous life, Paramount's only big-selling series of films was "Transformers" co-produced with DreamWorks. Steven Spielberg served as the producer of the film and led the entire project.
Another film "Resident Evil" with a female protagonist.
Although the North American box office of each "Resident Evil" is not very high, each one can recover the cost through the box office, and even make a fortune.
The most important point is that the producer of the film, Constantine Films, itself is only a German film company. As the film's distribution company, Sony Pictures, did not put much effort into promoting the film.
It can be seen from the release time that "Resident Evil 1" was released on March 1st, which was released at the same time as the previous life "Ice Age", and North America only earned 40.11 million US dollars at the box office.
As a result, a strange phenomenon has emerged. The North American box office of each "Resident Evil" is not as good as the film's overseas box office.
Among them, "Resident Evil 4" is the most speechless. The North American box office is only 60.12 million US dollars, but the film's overseas box office is as high as 240 million US dollars.
"Resident Evil 5" has a North American box office of 42.34 million US dollars and an overseas box office of 198 million US dollars.
"Resident Evil 6", the North American box office hit the street directly to make people speechless.
But on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the box office was a big hit. The box office broke 100 million in 10 hours, 227 million on the first day, 478 million in two days, 700 million in 4 days, 758 million in 6 days, and 800 million in just one week.
(It’s not U.S. dollars. In U.S. dollars, it’s more than 100 million.)
Even if the North American box office of the film is not very good, as a film production company, Constantine Films is expected to earn US$1 billion in revenue from the entire series of films.
So Ryan thought about it, and simply modified the main plot of "Tomb Raider", similar to the nonsense plots of the original version, and directly deleted them.
Try to simplify the plot as much as possible and turn it into an out-and-out adventure exploration film, revolving around the mysteries one by one to find artifact fragments.
There is no **** plot, and there is no saving all mankind. Things like this are still left to Marvel superheroes such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Black Widow.
Of course, there will definitely be some mysterious organizations, attacks and other plots interspersed in the middle.
But it will definitely not be complicated, so as not to confuse the audience sometimes.
In this way, the script of "Tomb Raider" written by Ryan is very close to the plot of the original game.
"Refused!"
Tom Rothman leaned on the office chair, his expression a little unsightly, "It seems that Ryan Gosling and Orion Films will be another DreamWorks Let the overseas distribution department improve "Mr. and Mrs. Smith 》The publicity budget, the accounts should be as reasonable as possible.”
Although he didn't say it clearly, Colette Singer also understood the meaning, which is nothing more than intercepting the overseas income of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures will get nothing.
"From the moment Ryan Gosling decided to refuse to cooperate, I am afraid he has already thought of overseas income."
Colette-Singer said pointedly: "I heard that Orion Pictures wants to release a 3D animation feature film in the summer, and has been negotiating with theater companies about the scale of the film's release. The distribution channels are far from perfect as the media imagined."
"For example, on the derivative products of the film."
"Good suggestion." Tom Rothman glanced at Colette Singer in admiration, "Contact Paramount, Warner, Sony, Disney, and DreamWorks immediately, and put pressure on the theater companies to squeeze out the summer vacation as much as possible." The number of screens and filming rate of the file.”
As for Universal Pictures and MGM!
The former Universal Pictures, recently, has been busy annexing Polygram, and has not released a large-scale commercial film throughout the summer.
The latter MGM, whose performance in production and distribution is not as good as DreamWorks, has gradually been forgotten by most Hollywood practitioners.
"As for the peripheral products!"
"Notify the long-term cooperative manufacturers to increase the production cost of Orion Pictures' peripheral products." Tom Rothman smiled.
The main source of income for an animated feature film is not the box office, but the peripheral products and copyrights.
Especially the income from derivative products, as long as there is a slight increase in production costs, it will greatly reduce the income of Orion Pictures.
