Chapter 533： Mamma Mia
After sending Amanda Seyfried home, Ronan returned to Beverly Hills.
"Sir." Nikia, the housekeeper, was waiting in the lobby: "Do you need a late night snack?"
Ronan waved his hand: "No need."
Nikia followed Ronan into the living room, took a package from the shelf next to it, and handed it over: "This is an express mail from Netflix."
Ronan took it and said while tearing it apart, "I see." He glanced at the time: "Nikia, go and rest."
Nikia said, "Okay, call me whenever you need it."
Ronan opened the package. Inside was a transcribed DVD from Netflix's warehouse and sorting company in New York.
Just tonight I started to sing with Amanda Seyfried, and the relevant information is here.
Some time ago, Ronan thought of a youth song and dance movie. It was adapted from a stage play. A few days ago, he just saw relevant news in the newspaper and specially commissioned the people of Netflix's New York branch to collect some relevant information.
When he came to the study room on the second floor, he turned on the computer and driven the CD. Ronan nodded slightly when he saw the contents.
When Ronan lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Amanda Seyfried’s masterpieces or famous works were really rare. From "Mean Girl" to the fame more than ten years later, Amanda Seyfried Still playing the role of the girl vase type.
Amanda Seyfried looks very good, which is both an advantage and a restriction.
At that time, the so-called Hollywood Four Little Queens, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Roberts can be said to be the most misleading, especially after 2010, these two stars have become typical of popular works.
Amanda Seyfried Fortunately, there are at least a few representative works,
Emma Roberts's red is very typical.
Many people know that Emma Roberts is a big star, but few people know what famous movies and roles the big star has played.
What the public remembers is only Julia Roberts' niece and the sturdy boyfriend who can beat her tall and sturdy boyfriend to the police for help.
Now that "Mean Girl" has been filmed and prepared for release, Ronan will naturally not let go of the musical that Amanda Seyfried once played with Meryl Streep.
The name of the film was "Mamma Mia", and Ronan could remember this name thanks to an animation called "Mamma Mia Duck".
There are very few original Hollywood musicals and most of them are adapted from stage plays. So Ronan paid special attention to the news in this regard. Some time ago, he finally saw the relevant news. "Mamma Mia" once again registered on Broadway.
It was determined that the Oolong incident would not cause unnecessary trouble, Ronan only then notified the people at the Netflix branch.
Perhaps it was his own special experience that was too horrifying, or perhaps he was worried about watching too many related movies and televisions. Ronan paid great attention to this aspect.
The information mailed by Netflix’s New York branch is very detailed. "Mamma Mia" is a stage musical from London. It officially entered Broadway in early 2000. At the beginning, the response was mediocre. In the past two years, it has been re-arranged and re-arranged by Broadway twice. After singing and dancing more suitable for American audiences, it gradually rejuvenated and re-registered on Broadway in the second half of this year and became famous in one fell swoop.
Normally, it may take more than ten years or even decades for stage plays to go from Broadway to Hollywood. For example, the classic musical "Chicago" did not sell the film rights until the 1990s.
But "Mamma Mia" was targeted early in the morning.
According to Netflix’s contact with the copyright owner of the stage play, a small British producer named Judy Kramer bought the film copyright of "Mamma Mia" as early as 1997 and hired Catherine Johnson, who worked on the British TV series "Emergency Room", as a screenwriter, adapted a screenplay.
Between 1997 and 1999, Judy Kramer sought to cooperate with film companies in the UK in order to make "Mamma Mia" into a movie.
Very unlucky, no British film company is interested.
This is the same as Judy Kramer's resume.
The people at the Netflix branch obviously did a lot of work. They learned a lot about Judy Kramer through the copyright owner of the stage play. The female producer did not deserve her name. Although she was nearly fifty years old, she never produced a single film. I have never had any film or TV drama project, even the kind of low investment or experimental nature.
Therefore, no film company is willing to take risks with her.
Since 1999, Judy Kramer has simply shelved this project for now.
Perhaps the producer himself has given up on this project.
According to the information, Judy Kramer currently lives in London, and if you want to get the film rights of "Mamma Mia", you must talk to her herself.
As soon as he went to work the next day, Ronan asked the publisher of the London branch of Embassy Pictures to confirm that Judy Kramer was in London and decided to take Connie on a trip in person.
Anyway, he will also go to London to attend a charity dinner hosted by the British royal family, and by the way, talk to Judy Kramer about copyright transfer.
This will not take much time.
Since the last time he met William through Bell Grylls in London, Ronan has occasionally contacted him. This time it was an invitation from William.
The charity party organized by the royal family, inviting the rich to participate in fact has only one goal, so that the rich can donate generously.
Ronan had already prepared for this. Like other rich people, to a certain extent, charity is an indispensable basic cause.
Before leaving Los Angeles, Ronan collected a lot of information about the US version of the stage play "Mamma Mia". Compared with the British version, the US version of the repertoire has actually changed a lot. If it is adapted into a movie, It must be based on the US version.
Although both Britain and the United States speak English, even many Americans, including those in the film industry, like and even admire the British cultural heritage, but the overall response of pure British films in the North American film market is not good. The cultural market between the two places The difference is real.
This cannot be ignored.
In addition, Ronan also asked about the latest situation of Uvi-Bauer. After Uvi-Bauer received the green light of Shahai Entertainment’s "Vampire Lane" project, he has already contacted the screenwriter to create the script, but Bao Ge was obsessed with it. , Took Robert Lee to Irvine again. It is estimated that he will not give up if Blizzard Entertainment will be killed.
Uvi Bauer is also a popular director now, and the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" continues to pile up.
Halloween belongs to the schedule of horror movies.
"Freddy vs. Jason" successfully attracted audiences with this mixed-and-matched protagonist combat mode and became the hottest movie on Halloween. The two major IPs combined are amazingly powerful. They earned 3,640 from North America in three days of the opening weekend. Ten thousand dollars at the box office, easily overwhelming the champion "Dungeon Siege" last weekend and topped the North American box office rankings.
The second place on the box office list is occupied by the newly filmed "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", this brainless plasma horror film is also a veteran star, and won 28.09 million US dollars from 3010 theaters in three days on weekends, thus making "Dungeon Siege" Squeezed to third place.
The situation in "Dungeon Siege" is most appropriate to describe in one sentence.
The heat is like a gust of wind, just leave after it blows.
On the second weekend of its release, "Dungeon Siege" is no longer hot, and the rhythm brought by hype has almost dispersed after a week.
After all, in this information age, there are too many eye-catching entertainment news.
The box office of "Dungeon Siege" fell by more than 65 percent compared with the first weekend, and received 9.72 million U.S. dollars, only ranking third in the box office rankings.
But no one will say anything about such results.
With the four working days' harvest, the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" has reached 46.27 million US dollars.
The production cost of the film is only 3.5 million US dollars, plus the funds invested in the promotion and distribution, the total budget is only 12 million US dollars.
According to the current situation, it is completely certain that the North American box office of "Dungeon Siege" will be around $70 million.
The overseas response is definitely much worse, but there is still some hope that the global box office will hit 100 million US dollars.
Just before Ronan left Los Angeles, Uvi Bauer and Robert Lee rushed back from Irvine The copyright matter still hasn't settled.
Blizzard’s considerations are clearly developing towards unlimited considerations.
The reason Uvi-Bauer rushed back was to sign a formal brokerage contract with CAA.
Ronan also took advantage of the time before going to London to attend the signing ceremony of both parties.
In Hollywood, if you make a good movie, nobody cares about it, but if you make a box office big-selling movie, the situation is immediately different. In a short time, you don’t have to worry about the remuneration and the director’s contract. Some are offered by the company. Come up.
Uvi Bauer belongs to the latter. Bad movies are never a problem, provided that the bad movies can of course sell well.
Some people even started Uvi Bauer's idea and wanted to dig Uvi Bauer to direct other companies' film projects.
Uvi-Bauer has the blood of a German man. He directly rejected a few companies that dig people and stated that he would only cooperate with Relativity Entertainment in Hollywood.
Having said that, talents like Brother Bao are rare in this era.
Ronan has always valued talents, so he will continue to support Uvi Bauer. The funds needed to operate "Vampire Lane" will also be quickly injected into the special account of the crew by the Pacific Foundation. Uvi Bauer prepares this film. Don't worry about funds at all.
Of course, the money is not much, only 3.5 million US dollars.
For Brother Bao’s film, the first element is always to control the scale of investment!
After attending the Uvi-Bauer signing ceremony, Ronan took a flight to London, and through the contact of the British branch of Embassy Pictures, he found Judy Kramer and talked about the film rights of "Mamma Mia" .
The talks between the two sides went very smoothly, even a little bit beyond Ronan's imagination.
