Chapter 920： Magic Change Director
One second to remember【】, wonderful novels are free to read without pop-ups!
The work efficiency of the various companies and departments of Relativity Entertainment has always been very high. Only a few days later, Robert Lee summarized the contacts of his subordinates and sent special work emails to Ronan.
The most smooth contact is "Vampire Hunter Lincoln". The original author Seth Grahame Smith is just an unknown little writer. After the publication of this novel that transformed Lincoln's life, there have not been many copies sold. Hollywood producers came to the door, and there was no idea of rejection at all.
For ordinary writers, film adaptation means a good opportunity to make money and become famous.
So Seth Graham Smith made an offer of $500,000.
Compared with the fame and sales volume of the work, this price is a bit high. The staff member Robert Lee sent to negotiate offered a $300,000 offer and bought out the copyrights of two novels by Seth Grahame Smith.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement on 400,000 US dollars.
In addition to "Vampire Slayer Lincoln", Relativity Entertainment also obtained the film and television rights to another novel by Seth Grahame Smith.
This is also a type of demon-change spoof.
The novel is titled "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
To prepare, this is a fan work of Jane Austen's novel, which is roughly the story of Elizabeth Bennett leading the Bennett family to hack zombies.
Confirming that he could get the copyright, Ronan immediately asked Connie to send the original work of "Vampire Slayer Lincoln" to Uwebauer.
Although it is not a movie adapted from a game, who else is more suitable for the director of this kind of vampire spoof film than Brother Bao?
Brother Bao can definitely make the film super peacekeeping, even the most professional Lincoln scholar doesn't know it!
Soon there was news about the right to adapt the book "The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, the Rival Team".
After the staff of the copyright and legal department contacted Doris Goodwin, the latter was also interested in film adaptations, but offered an adaptation price of up to $5 million.
Robert Lee ran a trip in person and had an interview with Doris Goodwin. There was one thing that Doris Goodwin could not change. Relativity Entertainment was able to shoot films on the subject of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution without her authorization. .
Because Lincoln’s life stories do not have the uniqueness of copyright, even if the original works are not available, they can still be adapted and filmed based on the events of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, but it will add a lot of trouble out of thin air.
Relativity Entertainment finally paid US$2 million in copyright fees.
If you leave out Doris Goodwin, it will not save much, such as re-collecting information, such as hiring professional legal counsel to avoid the copyright conflict of "The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, the Rival Team" and so on.
Doris Goodwin has a lot of research on Lincoln's life and deeds. The $2 million also includes the cost of hiring her as a special adviser for adaptation in the future.
Ronan immediately contacted Spielberg and sent him the book "The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln".
Spielberg himself is not good at script creation, and Shahai Entertainment's screenwriter will adapt the script.
This project will certainly not be filmed immediately, and the script has to be coordinated with Spielberg.
With the signing of two copyright agreements, Relativity Entertainment will add two more movie projects in the future.
The copyright of "Lincoln vs. Zombies" was very unsuccessful. People from the Copyright and Legal Department contacted the original author and the publishing house before they learned that the film and television copyright had been sold.
Although the staff made preliminary contact with the person who bought the copyright, the other party did not refuse, but made a request-he must talk to Ronan in person.
The person who bought the copyright is called Richard Scheinkman, a Hollywood screenwriter, director and producer, but the few films he has participated in are all videotapes that Ronan has never heard of.
To put it simply, no one has invested more than $100,000.
For "Lincoln vs. Zombies", Ronan's positioning is a million-dollar investment-level small project, which is also a dispensable type, and it doesn't matter if you don't get it.
Therefore, Ronan did not immediately respond, and let the Copyright and Legal Department hang out for a while.
On the third weekend of April, following "The Da Vinci Code" and "Resident Evil 3", the third film released by Embassy Pictures this year was officially released.
As one of many series of films, the fourth part of the "Fatal Curve" series, which takes the freak torture and kills the second American young man as the theme, has launched.
The total box office of the first three films is as high as 200 million US dollars, and it is natural that Relativity Entertainment cannot give up.
This kind of stupid and stupid plasma tablets have always had an audience in the offline rental market.
However, the commercial income of this series has been showing a downward trend.
Shahai Entertainment has repeatedly lowered its production budget.
By the third part, the production cost was only $5 million.
However, since the film was officially released on the first day, the attendance rate was not bad, which also matched the appetite of a considerable part of the audience.
Sometimes it’s hard for people outside North America or the media to imagine why some obviously so mentally handicapped and disgusting films are always watched by American audiences with gusto and still enjoy it.
Many of Hollywood's low-cost plasma films and mill-style b-level films can actually be classified as brain fragments.
It's just these films that often create miracles that make a big difference.
Perhaps an audience member who has watched "Fatal Turn 4" left a very representative comment in the idb related comment section.
"This kind of movie is the same as fast food like KFC and McDonald's. Sometimes you are tired of the banquet you are sitting in, the food searched all over the street, the laborious family kitchen, it is quite exciting to come to such a meal. "
Although it is a junk fast food, it is like choosing whether chicken wings are fried, grilled, sweet, spicy, naked or breaded. The "Fatal Bend" series, produced by Shahai Entertainment, also has Unique flavor.
Simply put, all kinds of beauties are all stupid, and all kinds of beauties are unconscious.
"Fatal Corner 4" is the most cruel scene in the series, and of course the ratings are also the lowest.
The audience cultivated by the previous trilogy is still there, and with the branding effect of the sequel of "Fatal Turn 4", the first weekend of its release in North America, it won 10.21 million US dollars at the box office.
Although this is the worst box office number in the series, it means that the film can still generate a lot of profit.
Embassy Pictures predicted based on market feedback that the final North American box office of this brainless horror film will reach 30 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office will hopefully remain above 50 million U.S. dollars.
Thus, the fifth part was naturally put on the production schedule.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the life span of this series is almost exhausted.
Ronan also made a decision, the fifth will be the final chapter of the "Fatal Turn" series.
The final chapter does not mean the end of the movie. If the opportunity is right in the future, you can still make money for shooting.
This weekend just passed, Uvibauer came to the Theory of Relativity Building and found Ronan.
"I have read the original book twice and have been thinking about script adaptation and film creation these days."
In the office, Uvibauer touched the brighter forehead and said to Ronan, "I have some ideas."
Ronan looked at him and asked "Would you like to direct this project?"
Uvibauer said without hesitation, "Yes! Such an interesting theme suits me best." He showed a rather honest smile. "Although it is not a game adaptation theme, we can completely shoot in the form of video game adaptation movies. In production, Lincoln is like a game character. The vampires are bosses. If Lincoln wants to end the Civil War and liberate slaves, he must carry an ax to kill and pass the level!"
Ronan believes in the strength of Brother Bao. Brother Bao can definitely make the film super peace-keeping and super vulgar. "Tell me what you think."
Uvibauer put a smile away, and said sternly, "I think so. The future film will use a solemn biographical style to tamper with the life of one of the greatest presidents in American history and reveal a hidden passage. The mysterious past under the surface. This will be the first time Lincoln has been dubbed the great vampire hunter. From then on, it is a **** but beloved vampire movie genre, opening up a new world of great subversive significance."
Ronan didn't interrupt, but just listened.
Uvibauer obviously had thoughtful thoughts, "I believe that anyone who mentions Lincoln's name can't be associated with the vampire hunter. These two names can now appear side by side, which has already exceeded everyone's expectations and imagination... …However, for those of us who are shooting and producing movies, this is precisely an alternative opportunity and topic that can be devoted to it. We have defined the key and important historical events that define Lincoln and the entire United States, all They are all intertwined into a classic vampire legend full of mystery but bloody."
The more he talked about it, the more excited he became. "Lincoln's life has too many coincidences with the superheroes in classic comic books... Therefore, create such a legendary character like a myth A dualistic world-during the day, he is the president of the United States; at night, he is transformed into a vampire hunter."
When Ronan saw that he had finished speaking, he said, "Uvi, use your understanding and style to create the script. I will leave this project to you."
Again, Brother Bao has fully proved that he has made a multi-million-dollar b-level film, and there is a corresponding market.
Uvibauer didn't wait much. When "Life and Death Fighting" was completed, he finally found a suitable new project.
In his opinion, this subject is so innocent and simple, yet it possesses an extremely powerful impact.
At noon, Ronan had lunch with Jessica Felton, and talked about the early planning of "Fast and Furious 4" by the way.
Back to the Theory of Relativity Building, when I was about to enter the door, someone suddenly blocked the way.
A bald middle-aged man saw the bodyguard appear and stopped quickly to avoid misunderstanding. Then, away from a distance, he introduced himself to Ronan, "Good noon, Mr. Anderson, I’m Richard Shainkman. There is a movie. I want you to see it."
The work efficiency of the various companies and departments of Relativity Entertainment has always been very high. Only a few days later, Robert Lee summarized the contacts of his subordinates and sent special work emails to Ronan.
The most smooth contact is "Vampire Hunter Lincoln". The original author Seth Grahame Smith is just an unknown little writer.
