my movie years

Chapter 216 Copyright Income Explodes
The mainland film market in July is still very lively.

Xiao Yang, who just won the best newcomer actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival, directed and acted in "Old Boy: The Raptors Cross the River" which will be released on July 7.

The film "Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age of Thorns" starring the fairy sister also landed on the theaters on July 7.

"Beijing No. 81" directed by Ye Weimin will hit theaters on July 7.

However, these films are slightly less competitive and pose no threat to "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" and "Source Code".

As of July 7, "Transformers 20: Age of Extinction" has scored 4 billion box office, ranking second in film history.

However, the film did not get the postponed honeymoon, and the film will be released in one week, which is July 7.

At that time, "Gravity" was still showing tenaciously in theaters, with hundreds of thousands of box office revenue every day.

Paramount, the distributor of "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction", was very dissatisfied with the film's screening cycle and raised various opinions.

But the masters of Big Scissors are very principled, so they didn't give the extension key.

The situation of "Source Code" is much better. As of July 7, the film has accumulated a box office of 20 million.

Moreover, the film has obtained the extension key and can be shown until the fourth weekend of September.

So I can catch up with the leaders of the National Day stalls and harvest another wave.

However, since the production cost of "Source Code" is only one-fifth of "Gravity", the return rate of this film in the mainland is much higher than that of "Gravity".

In addition, "Source Code" has also landed in other parts of Asia. It has been released for two weekends, and the box office results are not satisfactory, only 1100 million US dollars.

It was even worse in Europe and the United States, with only a box office of 150 million US dollars.

After all, Guo Fan is not Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao is not James Cameron after all. Even with Zhang Hao's name as screenwriter and producer, it is still difficult for the film to become popular overseas.

Therefore, the topic of Chinese-language film directors who have been arguing before is going overseas.After the overseas box office of "Source Code" was released, it was like being poured with a basin of cold water and cooled down quickly.

After regaining their senses, everyone realized that it wasn't that Chinese-language movies were qualified to go overseas, it was simply that Zhang Hao was too awesome.

In fact, before Zhang Hao, it was not that there were no Chinese films and filmmakers who went out, and they achieved considerable success.

Zhang Hao is just the first to bring Chinese science fiction films to the world. Not only that, Zhang Hao is also a director who makes Chinese science fiction films to make money.

Before him, Wu Jing filmed "Robo Man", and Andy Hua Tsai filmed "Future Cops", both of which were blood losses.

Coincidentally, both of these two have cameos in "Gravity", and they can be considered to have participated in the glorious journey of "Gravity".

In the first half of this year, Tianmi Film and Television Co., Ltd. blossomed in the film and television fields, which made the company gain a firm foothold in the industry.

Although there is no publishing business itself, even the artist brokerage business is only slightly involved.

But with Zhang Hao's trump card, no one dares to ignore this upstart in the film and television industry.

What's more, Guo Fan is now considered a first-line director. After all, he has three blockbuster films on hand, and "Source Code" is about to break through one billion.

There is also Da Mi Mi, the leading figure of the post-[-] generation, otherwise she is not qualified enough, and she is the number one actress.

Entering July, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is not idle either.

Zhang Hao is going to direct "The Dark Knight", Guo Fan has been busy for so long and needs to rest for a while, and then prepares to start the small broken ball project.

After Da Mimi and Zhang Hao finished taking their wedding photos, they left all the preparations for the wedding to their family members, and ran to Hengdian with the people from the TV drama production department to start "The Queen's Adventure".

The TV series "The Adventures of the Queen" uses magic to defeat magic, and it has a touch with Lao Fan's "Legend of Wu Mei Niang".

Although the production cycle is relatively tight, it is not a problem for the team of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company with mature experience.

What reassures the TV drama team is that Penguin Video has paid a lot of money to book this TV series and broadcast it exclusively on its own video platform without even filming a single scene of the TV series.

Penguin's mentality is not difficult to understand. Now that video platforms are getting more and more popular, major video platforms are scrambling to grab resources.

The video copyright of "Gravity" has broken through the sky, and the asking prices of several video platforms currently under discussion have exceeded [-] million.

This has resulted in an extremely serious price premium effect, but it is the major copyright owners who benefit, and everyone counts their money happily.

The copyright competition for TV dramas is more intense. The copyright proceeds of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" starring Da Mimi were only sold for 8000 million on Mango Channel, but after it was broadcast, it became a hit and ranked first in the country at the same time.

So turning around, the online video copyright was sold by three platforms for 2.8 million yuan, and the second round of broadcast copyright was also won by Huitai for 1.2 million yuan.

This is not an exaggeration. For example, Huace Film and Television, which is quite strong in the field of TV drama production.

Since the end of last year, the five works of "Heroes of the Gods", "Master Wei", "The Deer and Ding Ji", "The Master" and "Love Is Back" have sold a total of 6.5 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than [-] million yuan for each drama.

But the popularity of these five dramas combined is not as popular as "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and the ratings are not as good as this drama.

It is also because of the good foundation laid by "Gu Jian Qi Tan" that TV stations and video platforms realized that Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is not only good in the field of movies.

Even in the field of TV dramas, he is also a good player.

So this wave of Penguin Video directly won the exclusive online copyright through the relationship of Penguin Pictures.

Even Penguin Films also participated in the investment. After all, Penguin Films is not only a movie business, but also a TV drama business.

Putting aside the TV series, at the end of July, Zhang Hao came to Los Angeles, and under the witness of the North American media, he officially signed the director contract of "The Dark Knight".

"Zhang, can you tell me how you plan to start the production of the second Batman movie?" After the photo session ended, a reporter asked.

Now Zhang Hao's situation in North America is not as difficult as it was when he first came here. This land is full of all kinds of discrimination, yes, but this land also respects the strong as king.

Zhang Hao has already proved himself, at least until his next failure, the public opinion environment he faces will be much better than before.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "In the first part, we explained the origin of Batman and Bruce Wayne's mental journey very well.

But you must understand that Gotham is always in danger. This time, the opponent is an extremely evil villain. Batman must be prepared. "

Zhang Hao seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing.

After all, the role of the clown has long been exposed, and the major media have mentioned many candidates for the clown's actor.

However, it is impossible for Warner Pictures to determine the actors before Zhang Hao is in place.

A reporter asked again: "Zhang, what style will you make this movie with?"

Zhang Hao said: "Through the last Batman movie, I realized that breaking away from comics and making Batman movies based on realism is a feasible path.

So I plan to give the movie more realistic colors in the second part.

I really like an American drama called "The Wire". I will make this movie in the style of "The Wire" and give it more realistic meaning. "

The reporters in the audience were stunned. Although the American drama "The Wire" is not very popular, it has comprehensively analyzed various phenomena in American society. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the greatest American drama since the 21st century.

Could it be that Zhang is going to make one of the greatest superhero movies?How can this be?

No matter what the reporters think, Zhang Hao's words have been released anyway.

After Zhang Hao signed the director contract, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Amber Heard returned one after another, and all signed actor contracts

In addition, Warner Pictures announced the launch of the audition for the double-faced man, the clown.

The two-faced man was better. After the press conference, Zhang Hao and the producer who cooperated with Zhang Hao again met James Cameron when they were inspecting Fox Studios in a battery car.

"Zhang, I want to ask you for a favor." James Cameron had lunch with Zhang Hao and asked Zhang Hao for help during the meal.

"You helped me a lot, and it was your recommendation that allowed me to be the director of the Batman movie. I still remember this kindness." Zhang Hao smiled and continued:
"What do you want me to help? I will do what I can."

"That's right," James Cameron said after taking a sip of coffee, "Do you know Matthew McConaughey?"

"Of course I know. In February this year, I won the Best Actor Oscar for "Dallas Buyers Club." Zhang Hao nodded, expressing his understanding.

James Cameron continued: "It's like this. Matthew has always liked Batman movies. He auditioned for the role of Batman in the 90s, but...you know it too."

Zhang Hao expressed understanding that since 1998, the Batman movie has been silent for 15 years, until it was restarted by Zhang Hao.

"The opportunity to play Batman is gone now, but he still wants to participate in the Batman movie. If possible, he wants to play the double-faced Harvey Dent." James Cameron said the request.

If Matthew McConaughey wants to play the Joker, Zhang Hao is still a little hesitant.But the double-faced Harvey Dent, without hesitation, Zhang Hao directly agreed.

"No problem, I don't think Warner Pictures will refuse an Oscar winner to join, right, Charles?" Zhang Hao turned to look at Charles Rowan.

Charles Rowan pondered for a while before saying, "James, you know, it is impossible for Warner Pictures to pay too high a salary."

James Cameron said: "It doesn't matter, Matthew is mentally prepared, he is just fulfilling a dream, and the salary will not be an obstacle."

"Then there's no problem. Warner Pictures welcomes Matthew to play Double-Face." Charles Rowan agreed on behalf of Warner Pictures.

With just a few words, Matthew McConaughey is determined to play the role of Double-Face.

Soon Warner Pictures officially confirmed the news, and Matthew McConaughey had signed his name on the actor contract.

Next, the focus of media attention is on the most important role of the clown.

　I have a bit of a cold, and I wanted to ask for leave, but found that there was no leave slip, so I could only get up in a daze and code the words to ensure my attendance...
