Chapter 136： See box office champion again
"On the first weekend of December, North America ushered in two new large-scale films. The market popularity still remained at a high level. The "Death Is Coming" produced by Shahai Entertainment and issued by Embassy Pictures was not affected by the previous The impact of the failure of the other film "Ace Agent" co-operated by the two companies, it landed in nearly 2,600 theaters during the opening weekend, and gained US$28.69 million on the first three days, overwhelming the US$27.2 million in revenue of "Toy Story 2". On the throne of the weekend championship."
In the office, Adiyado Sanzizi put down the newspaper and looked at his partner Daniel Malik: "Has Ronan Anderson's new film failed?"
Daniel Malik looked a little ugly, and said, "No failure."
Idyado Sanzzi opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say, and it felt like he was going to hit Daniel Malick in the face.
Daniel Malick took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. There was an urge to cry. He hadn't succeeded in mixing for 30 years. Why did Ronan Anderson succeed so easily?
He has just read the newspaper. Not only is the box office of "Reaper Coming" up to 28.69 million US dollars in the first weekend, the North American box office of the failed "Ace Agent" has also reached 8 million US dollars, and there are other incomes in the follow-up, which is not counted. What a terrible failure.
Want to see Ronan Anderson go bankrupt? There will be no such possibility in the short term.
Daniel Melick realized one thing, Ronan Anderson is really capable! The success of "Blair the Witch"...
He shook his head quickly and didn't continue thinking. The success template of "Blair the Witch" is already in front of him, and there is the support of a big company like DreamWorks behind it. It is definitely easier for the sequel to succeed.
The sequel to is successful, and it can prove to those who despise themselves!
"Ed!" Daniel Malik greeted, "put down the newspaper and work quickly!"
Beverly Hills Century City Intercontinental Hotel, Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau leased an entire floor here as the office of the Los Angeles branch office.
Early on Monday morning, Semir met Aziz who had just arrived from Abu Dhabi.
"Last time you sent a report, Ronan Anderson’s movie failed?" Aziz, who was lean, was Mansour’s plenipotentiary representative. He was naturally one level higher in the game and asked: "Will it be? Will it affect our plan?"
Semir replied: "The North American box office of "Ace Agent" failed. Up to now, the North American box office is only 8 million US dollars, which is far lower than the investment and the influence is very small."
Aziz frowned: "8 million US dollars? I remember that the investment bureau invested 25 million US dollars in Ronan Anderson."
"This $8 million is not Shahai Entertainment's income, and at least half of it must be shared with theater companies." After Semill came to Los Angeles, he learned about some related situations: "There will be overseas box office and home entertainment income in the future. But I have seen the predictions of many authoritative organizations that this film will not return the investment."
Aziz thought of Mansour’s words and said: “Business investment always fails. The minister wants to ask is, does this failure have a big impact on Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson?”
Semir thought for a while, and said, "Some time ago, there were some adverse effects, but after the movie "Reaper Is Here", all the adverse effects were offset by the success of "Reaper Is Here".
Aziz had just arrived in Los Angeles, did not know the specifics, and asked: "Can you elaborate on it?"
""Reaper is coming" just came out last weekend." Semir can only say according to what he knows on the surface: "In three days he won 28.69 million US dollars and won the North American box office championship, which is just three days. In time, this film will almost be able to recover the production investment."
He added: "This year, Ronan Anderson has released three movies, namely "Blair the Witch", "Ace Agent" and "Reaper is Coming." So far, it can be determined that "Ace Agent" has failed. "Blair" and "Reaper Is Coming" were a big success."
Aziz said: "When I was in China, I also saw "Blair the Witch" in the media, and they all said this film was a miracle."
Semir showed a bit of envy on his face: "Ronan Anderson bought "Blair the Witch" for less than $100,000, and the North American market alone earned more than $100 million!"
"100,000 dollars to 100 million dollars?" Aziz's face was shaking.
Semir is a layman after all, and he hasn't researched to the inside yet, and said: "Yes!"
Aziz couldn't help but said: "It is much more profitable than selling oil. Compared with him, our method of making money is too primitive!"
Semir said again: "This morning, I read a report in the Los Angeles Times, predicting that the North American box office of "Death is Coming" also has the hope of hitting $100 million."
"I remember the budget for this movie is 15 million US dollars." Aziz had a toothache: "Hollywood film industry makes so much money?"
Semir said seriously: "I don’t know much about others, but from my observations over the past six months, Ronan Anderson is very good at operating movies. The defeated "Ace Agent" is not a fiasco, but a successful movie can be ten. Even a hundredfold!"
Aziz nodded repeatedly, considering how to report to Mansour.
Semir continued: "Even if you don't consider the factors of publicity and influence, the ability to make money alone, Ronan Anderson and his film company are worthy of our attention! This person is of great value!"
"I know." Aziz said, "I came to Los Angeles this time to investigate Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment."
Semir reminded: "Not only Shahai Entertainment, but also Embassy Pictures. This is the distribution company that Ronan Anderson acquired this year. Hollywood distribution is very critical. Without a distribution company, a single production company cannot make it bigger. Strong."
Aziz asked: "Do you have any detailed information about Embassy Pictures?"
Even though Abu Dhabi is relatively enlightened, the situation in Los Angeles is not well understood in the Middle East.
"I collected some, I will give it to you in a while." Semir reminded again: "If you buy, you must keep Ronan Anderson. According to the various data I have collected, Ronan Anderson is this series. The key to success is that our plan is meaningless without Ronan Anderson."
Aziz is carefully considering what Semir said.
Compared to the previous Prince Saleh, Semir is undoubtedly a more pragmatic person: "Even if we can break into Hollywood, we are very unfamiliar with the film and television industry. We need the right person to run the business, but the Jewish people have a huge influence in Hollywood. We are very repulsive. We need someone to stand at the front desk. Ronan Anderson is a friend of a rare Arab in Hollywood. No one is more suitable than him."
"Is it appropriate?" Aziz had doubts: "That is Ronan Anderson's company, will it take us off."
Semir is confident: "As long as we can obtain absolute controlling rights, these will not be a problem."
"I will report to the minister." Aziz said.
Semi asked: "When do you plan to contact Ronan Anderson?"
Aziz replied: "Don't contact for now, we want to know the situation, and we will wait for the details in January next year."
After the first weekend box office of "Death is Coming", both Shahai Entertainment and Embassy Pictures were relieved at the same time.
If "Ace Agent" fails at the box office, "Reaper Is Coming" will also hit the street at the box office, which will definitely be a fatal blow to the company that has just gotten on track.
"Fortunately, the worst has not happened."
On the phone, Ronan said to Carmen Case in Europe: "Otherwise I might be bankrupt."
Carmen Cass is also engaged in business investment. Some things went by analogy and asked: "I remember hearing from you last time, aren't these two films both financing shooting? Failure to lose is the investor's money?"
Ronan did not feel embarrassed after being exposed, smiled, and said: "But the publicity and distribution costs are all borrowed from the bank."
It is said that among the promotional and distribution costs of "Blair the Witch", there is another $10 million that was obtained with the income of "Reaper Is Coming" as collateral.
"Financing is a good way to settle funds." Carmen Case said on the phone: "Ronan, you gave me some inspiration."
Ronan asked immediately: "You also want to raise money?"
Carmen Case did not deny it, saying: "With this plan, my reputation in Estonia will improve quickly, and financing is not difficult."
Ronan reminded: "Pay attention to the legal boundaries."
He does not want to see the future Estonian richest woman in prison because of his influence and finally go to jail.
Carmen Case said: "I know that I will not do anything illegal. I will not abandon the future for a little immediate benefit."
"That's good." Ronan changed the subject: "I will go to Europe next year and I will find you then."
Carmen Cass said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The two chatted a few more words about each other, and then hung up.
"Death Is Coming" was a success at the North American box office, and the following series of plans will also be put on the official agenda on paper. The first to bear the brunt is the sequel to the "Bourne Shadows" series and "Human Removal Project".
The primary problem for both is to solve the director problem as soon as possible.
With regard to the sequel to the "Human Removal Project", Andrew, the production manager hired by Shahai Entertainment, is in preliminary negotiations with James Huang's agent, Edward.
Since Edward delayed the negotiation until after the release of "Death Is Coming", the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the payment of James Wong.
With regard to "The Bourne", Tony Gilroy's screenwriter team has already produced some scripts. Ronan was not very satisfied in some places. After a screenwriting meeting was held, they were asked to continue to revise and create, and expect to complete the first draft of the script after the new year.
Then it was director Paul Greengrass. After a period of cold, Ronan was going to reconnect with them.
In the office, Adiyado Sanzizi put down the newspaper and looked at his partner Daniel Malik: "Has Ronan Anderson's new film failed?"
Daniel Malik looked a little ugly, and said, "No failure."
