Chapter 261 More and more mysterious

As the semester life stabilized, the North American film market gradually picked up. The total box office in the first week only rose to 127.3 million in the first week, and it was preparing to enter the November-December box office peak period of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. No. 3 comedy musical School of Rock released, crime thriller Limited Time released, No. 1 action thriller Kill Bill 1.1 released, crime thriller Mystic River released...

On the 17th, the drama thriller Runaway Jury will be released, New Line Films' remake of the horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be released, and Flame Films will also release the inspirational song and dance film Dancing Out of My Life.

The ranking competition for the weekly box office list is going on every day; and the booking of North American screens for the next one or two years has also begun. Major film companies have successively announced some 4-year and 5-year schedule plans. ; On the other hand, it is an unwritten test of each other's tone, so as to adjust the screening plan in time to avoid box office bombs or head-to-head encounters.

In 4 years, Dreamworks' Shrek 2 was released on May 19, Sony's Spider-Man 2 June issue, I, Robot, Troy, National Treasure, The Polar Express, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban... 5 years, Fox's Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith In May, Warner confirmed that it will be directed by Darren Aronofsky The new version of Batman 1 will be released in June...

Huo Huo, who is already the boss of an independent film company, is no exception. He announced a number of plans for 2004 and 2005 to the media, and immediately attracted much attention.

4 years can be said to be a big year for its sequel. The cartoon Ice Age 2 is scheduled to be released on May 7, two weeks earlier than Shrek 2. Scheduled for release on June 11, just in the second week of the release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; The Hangover 2 without Fantastic Young on June 25; No., Mr. Hughes 2 December issue.

In 5 years, there are Brokeback Mountain with an undecided schedule, Kung Fu Panda in May, Firefly in June, and Dancing Out of My Life 2 in the month.

Looking at these plans, the filmmakers in the media immediately noticed a few unusual things. Dancing Out of My Life and Chain Saw have not yet been released. I know, there is a sequel plan. According to the word-of-mouth that Huoyan has always only promoted and not hyped and has never missed an appointment, most of these two sequels will be on the big screen. Huoyan's confidence is so high that it is arrogant, and usually their Movies are really going to be that good.

Another point is that it seems that there will be no movies directed by Miracle Young in the next 4 years. In the past 6 years, only The Ninth District and The Hangover staged The Return of the King.

The speculation of movie fans was confirmed on Wang Yang's personal website,

He announced his work plan for the next two years to his fans, and said, I will focus on Firefly on the screen; Prison Break and The Big Bang Theory on the screen. Although in 2004 he also participated in the production of Extreme Speed, but not the director! This news naturally made fans quite frustrated, but at the same time they looked forward to it even more.

What would happen to Firefly and The Big Bang Theory that Fan Yang took so seriously?

t-21-team has been drawn offline in many places in North America and overseas, ending its journey on the screen. It finally received 191 million North American box office and 367 million global box office, successfully surpassing the 352 million of How to Get Away with Law .

However, its box office is only ranked 6th in Wang Yang's directorial career, only higher than the 323 million of the debut Ghost Story, which ended the North American box office of 5 consecutive films exceeding 200 million, and 2 consecutive films surpassed the 5th place. , still maintains the miracle that a single film must exceed 150 million, and the global total box office must exceed 300 million.

Fantastic Yang's personal global box office has reached 2.8956 billion, with an average of 413.6 million per film, which is the top rank. Six years have made this figure even more unimaginable.

Nevertheless, with James Cameron directing 6 films in 14 years with a total box office of 41.3 billion, with an average of 6.8 billion; 100 million, and compared with the figure after inflation, Miracle Yang still has a long way to go to catch up. But everyone knows that he is just a 23-year-old baby and has plenty of time to create new legends.

What else is insane about Pokémon? Firefly is still too far away, and movie fans have set their sights and expectations on The Devil Wears Prada, which will be released on December 12 this year.

On the announcement schedule of the flame movie, the thing that surprised the media the most was Brokeback Mountain! ? Is that the Brokeback Mountain of the cowboy gay story? ! Flame also announced that the movie would be directed by Ang Lee, the current Ang Lee who was in a bad mood; before they could react, there was a feeling of lightning speed, and the crew of Brokeback Mountain came out with the exact news of the joining of the actors, Anne Hai Sylvie joins as the heroine 1ureen, and Jake Gyllenhaal joins as Jack.

This is the stupidest decision ever made by Jake Gyllenhaal. Brokeback Mountain will ruin his promising acting career.

After the news came out, such remarks were immediately flooded in various media comments; there are also many Hollywood industry insiders, well-known producers, and well-known managers who are not optimistic about Gyllenhaal's performance. They revealed prophetically: This could end Jack's career. If Brokeback Mountain fails, his ugly show will become one of the box office hits; if Brokeback Mountain succeeds, his screen persona will become a gay man. It's not enough ?

When I read a few pages of the script of Brokeback Mountain, I knew I had to join it. Jake Gyllenhaal seemed very determined to go his own way, and he identified Brokeback Mountain. He said: The only thing I worry about now is Unfortunately, my acting skills are not up to director Ang Lee's requirements, and I can't play 'Jack' well, but I will work hard.

God! Gyllenhaal's movie fans were puzzled and worried. Could it be that Jack is gay and is about to come out? In contrast, among the gay community, Jack's popularity skyrocketed, and he quickly entered the top list of people I want to date most, next to Wentworth Miller, the star of Prison Break. Why is this handsome, 23-year-old Hollywood star who doesn't shoot superheroes, but goes to play Brokeback Mountain instead! ?

Unless there is any evidence that this Brokeback Mountain is related to Wang Yang, with his behind-the-scenes optimism and support, then fans can somewhat convince themselves that everything will be fine and reverse the whole situation. Media fans all searched for it. Is it related to Miracle Yang? Although he is the boss of the flames, it doesn't mean that all movies have his ideas, especially this low-budget movie. It seems that it doesn't matter if everyone looks around, does it really matter?

No, no, I'm not worried about messing up. This is such a good opportunity that you never imagined! That day Yang called me and asked me, and I agreed on the spot, no need to think about it.

Oh! Oh! ! Fantastic Yang! ! ! The media fans found out now, Anne Hathaway said in an interview that she slipped her mouth, and it was indeed related! Then everything is not surprising, Jake Gyllenhaal is not the first time to cooperate with the flames, he has starred in the independent horror film Death Illusion, this poor box office film has become a commercial miracle of the flames due to its later sales One of them, Miracle Young, also praised Jack at the same age at that time: The acting is very emotional.

Princess Big Mouth Anne Hathaway is one of the representative popular actresses he excavated and brought to the big screen, and now he has pushed them to Brokeback Mountain. Who will the other leading actor Ennis be? No matter who it is, Miracle Yang's popularity among the gay community has also soared, and the ranking on the list of people I want to date most is catching up with Jake Gyllenhaal, and there is even a new kind of gossip: Yang is actually gay, he and Jessica are just acting, who is his real partner?

Is he crazy? If his purpose is to save Ang Lee, then he should really find another script instead of rushing into the restricted area., This is the most stupid investment of Magic Yang.... Outside the media Not optimistic about everything in Brokeback Mountain, the Hollywood industry is also optimistic about everything, otherwise it would not be able to attract even 10,000 yuan in investment for so many years. Flame, who kept a low profile, did not respond, only Brokeback Mountain producer James Shams said: Ang Lee knows how to make it a good movie, and we all cherish this opportunity very much.

Of course, Brokeback Mountain is now just a nobody, and it has not caused any heated discussions, protests and other social topics. Gay movies on the screen are not uncommon. This year's Oscar hit The Hours, which won Best Actress and other awards, is lesbian; , the horror film Interview with the Vampire in 1994 even had a box office of over 100 million in North America.

Compared with sexual orientation, what seems more scary and untouchable is religion. The Passion of the Christ, which is scheduled to be released in February next year, has been controversial since the beginning of project preparation. Catholic and Jewish organizations have different opinions on it. During the filming, James Caviezel, who played Jesus, and assistant director Zhu Michelin were struck by lightning once and twice respectively. Is this a warning from God? Anyway, James Caviezel's acting career has been judged by the industry: It's over.

No one wants to see the face of Jesus in a theater. The media said so. As for the producer and director Mel Gibson, some gossip media also released rumors that his career was over, no Someone will cooperate with him again, and he shoots things that shouldn't be filmed.

The entertainment media and movie fans are all paying attention to the entertainment trends, but some commercial activities of the Flame Group have attracted the attention of financial investment and financial technology. Not long ago, it completed another acquisition, taking over the women's community website m. 11age was established in 1995, mainly targeting female Internet users. Its stock price reached a peak of 134 US dollars per share in 1999. With the bursting of the Nasdaq Internet stock bubble in 2000 and poor management, it was in 2011 on 11 Shares fell to an all-time low of 69 cents a share in January.

At that time, the Flame Group, which had determined the acquisition target, had already absorbed its shares in the market. Not long ago, it completed the acquisition of the directors. It spent a total of 120 million yuan and obtained an absolute controlling stake in % of the shares.

As soon as the acquisition was completed in September, its good news continued one after another. First, it reached a cooperation agreement with m, a subsidiary of Microsoft, on beauty, fashion, clothing, interpersonal relationships, family, food, career, and financial management; it also reached a community agreement with m. , blog and many other cooperation. Wang Yang, chairman of Flame Group and m, even said in person: This is a win-win acquisition. Flame has taken an important step in online sales. 11age has found the most solid backing. Through the acquisition of 11age, we will be able to provide our programs To the vast number of beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter clothing jacket m moving femininity.

As a result, the stock price of 11age has risen again and again, and it has reached 3.15 US dollars in the middle of the year. From the 2 US dollars before the flame announced the absolute control of the ownership, each share has increased by 57%.

In fact, after these years of development, 11age has developed and acquired many successful feminist websites. In the online field of female media, the only one that can compete with it is Disney-Hearst's m . It’s just that like many well-known websites, its finances have been in a state of loss all year round, and it can’t find more ways to make profits. Coupled with the shadow of the tech dotcom bubble, no one cares about it.

But this is the first step in the Internet strategy of the Flame Group. Wang Yang believes that female netizens will become active, because computers and the Internet are the absolute mainstream that no one can avoid in the future. Women are more enthusiastic about consumption and entertainment. No print media can compare to the amount of information and the update rate of the latest news on the website, and traditional media does not have the function of community streaming. They like to talk about gossip, fashion and other things, which is another characteristic of women.

In other words, 11age is very promising, and it will always turn losses into profits; it is also an important part of the new marketing system network that the Flame Group will build. As long as the marketing network is formed, coupled with popular TV channels, no one will be able to sell The propaganda is embarrassing for the Huoyan Group.

Now the ads of The Devil Wears Prada have appeared overwhelmingly on m, and what made the female netizens scream crazily is that 11age, together with Flame and Prada, held a viral event with the chance to win various prizes Marketing activities! The prizes include Prada handbags, boxes, tickets to the screening of The Devil Wears Prada, Prada coupons, and the ultimate prize is a limited edition beautiful handbag specially designed for Prada, not even a Hollywood star!

For example, M Wan's invite friends to register method to obtain event gold coins, there are u prizes and selections, and various activities have attracted countless female netizens. The Devil Wears Prada, Prada and 11age are naturally three parties to benefit.

Of course, its publicity is not limited to online virus marketing, the posters in the real world have also started to be put up, and there is no need to worry about the trailer, Huoyan is now a p user. The main poster of the movie is designed as a classic red high-heeled shoe, and the heel turns into a devil's trident cover. There are no photos of the three leading actresses, but they are very eye-catching; Rip, sarcastic Emily and befuddled Jessica.

Just when the long-awaited Dancing Out of My Life by female movie fans is about to be released, and they are looking forward to The Devil Wears Prada, Firefly has the latest astonishing news as expected, which immediately makes only the name , two concept maps of Firefly fans excited and excited.

'Firefly' Announces Its First Actor Joins Robert Downey Jr. as 'Captain Marr'. - Yahoo Entertainment; Downey and Young Team Up Twice for 'Firefly' Actor! -Hollywood bsp; It's hard to put into words how excited I am now! Downey said happily to the media. Since he started his new life with The Ninth District, he has won the Golden Globe Award winner and Oscar nominations. After all, Viggs' tragic image and concerns about taking drugs again are enough to make the producers hesitate. He only filmed a suspenseful comedy Surprise Detective with a cost of 10,000 yuan, which will be released on the 24th of the month.

Downey said excitedly: We are going to hit the screen together again! This really makes me feel moved and return to my youth. It's great to be able to play this movie. I have read my own character script,'Mar Captain' is very charming, just like me, I can't wait for it to start filming. He said rather distressed: But before that, I need to exercise my body, increase my muscles, and make myself more handsome and take martial arts training classes to make myself better at fighting.

Martial arts training! This means that Firefly will have martial arts scenes, will it be like The Matrix? ? Magic Yang, a kung fu master, is he finally going to try kung fu in a movie? !

All of these make Firefly more and more mysterious in the hearts of movie fans. Senior movie fans can smell something unusual. This seems to be the kind of big, big masterpiece.

I don't want Yuan Heping. In the elegant and quiet corner of the restaurant, Wang Yang said to Joss Weidenso xìng on the phone while eating pasta: It's him in The Matrix, and he's in Thunderbolt. , Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is him... Is there no one else? Joss, you know, I didn't mean to make the martial arts director 'different', not to say that Yuan Heping's movements are not beautifully designed, but his pattern has been fixed No surprises, I want new, top-of-the-line.

Cheng Xiaodong? No, what's the difference between using Yuan Heping?... Hearing Wang Yang's vetoes one by one, Joss Whedon was really moved. He was absolutely happy to invite these top martial artists before, laughing, he asked. Said: Yang, why don't you do it all?

Wang Yang stretched out his hand to call the waiter to pay the bill, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile: I will definitely design it myself. I have accumulated a lot of ideas since I was a child, but I need work experience and assistance. Maybe I don't need to look at these top-level products. Wu Zhi, as long as it is practical and can help me. He paid the bill and gave a tip, got up and said, Joss, let's stop here, I'm going back to the editing room.
