Chapter 319： Im afraid Wang Yang is interested now (1/2)
”” Become Zhu 1ìya ”? Sony has already shot, let's follow the price.”
, ”How about” A Good Woman ”? It seems to have the potential of Aurangska, Scarlett-Johnson, Helen-Hunter also have a good box office appeal.”, ”I only know that I will regret if I don't buy” Flying Ocean ” ”” ...
Although the Lin Ji semester of various schools is gradually opening, due to the arrival of the Toronto International Film Festival (PS), the Greater Toronto Convention Center area has attracted more attention than in the past, with media reporters and celebrity stars everywhere. ”Global Post” , ”Duo Lun Lun Duo Star”, ”New York Times”, ”Los Angeles Times” and other well-known media have gathered in restaurants and cafes, conducted different interview photography, lively ten lives.
This year's TFF has 328 films exhibited, and it is divided into 16 units of ”Canadian screening, present, master, midnight madness, special introduction ... etc. But unlike the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, TFF It is not based on competition awards. It does not even have a jury. The entire film festival has only one ”People's Choice Award”. The best film of the annual film festival voted by the public, ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and last year's The City Story has won this honor.
Without awards, filmmakers are even more eager. This is because TFF is famous for the large number of film shows. There are artistic films, independent films and good commercial films. Many films are found here, and they are listed in 6 North America. On the big screen, either make a big profit, or get on the nomination list and podium of Orpheus; or rush off the line after a week of audition. And there is no doubt that there are good things hidden in the 328 movies!
In the end negotiating which exercise to buy, North American cinema exercise? This is a topic that businessmen are discussing. The opening film ”Become Zhu 1ìya” ... ”A Good Woman” based on ”A Worship of Ms. Windermere” by Oslo-Wilder, and a historical school of Kevin The self-directed ”Leaping the Ocean” edited by Xi Zi ... The People's Choice Awards ”Rwandan Hotel” is not for sale. The producer Lianmei 6 Lions Gate made it an exhibition to increase its popularity.
”” Crash ”, we must get it.” It was already the second day of the opening day of September. The most watched ”special introduction” unit film 6 continued to be screened. I watched the ”Crash” directed by Paul Haggis. ”Afterwards, Lion Gate Pictures' partner and Jon-Filtimer took a fancy to it.
”Crash” was created by six small producers including Bull's Eye Film, b-film, deJ film, and a-dge film. The 51-year-old Paul Iguchi was a screenwriter for Ming TV, and began to change after the year. Entering the field of movie scripts, there are now unreleased ”Million Dollar Baby” and ”Crash”. The former is scheduled to be released on December 15 this year: the latter's exercise rights are still vacant.
Although Paul Haggis's TV work is very famous, the excellent script of ”Crash” also attracted stars such as Matt Dillon and Sandy Newton to join. In order to participate in the show, Sandra Braque even paid for the ticket at his own expense. Go to the studio. However, in order to save money, Haggis used his own house and car in some scenes in the initial cost budget, and there is no dealer so far ... This all shows its awkward state.
It also gave Lion Gate a chance, is it a chance? First of all, it has the potential to impact various awards such as Orpheuska, and social issues such as racial discrimination are very good points. Do n’t forget that “Million Dollar Baby” won a great praise in the screening; if you can nominate the award And even get, the global box office of ”Crash” will not be less than 10,000, is that really the case? Thinking about this, in the corner of the coffee shop of the Convention and Exhibition Center, Jon-Filtimer's tone was calm: ”All the exercise rights of the cinema line and dVd, let's make a price of ten thousand.”
”Wan shouldn't be able to take it, Miramax is also interested, and ...” The coffee cup is steaming, but Tom Oldenburg has a grim look, and he is not in the mood to drink coffee at all, saying: ”I am afraid of Wang Yang now interest.”
In recent years, Lion Gate has been squeezed by the flames, and has repeatedly failed in the competition to buy films. Those who do not fail often fail to perform well. Because it avoids competing to buy, the non-stupid Flame movie is very slippery. When buying the film, it is true and false. Several ”missing” have caused heavy bleeding to the opponent, and sometimes it can be because of ”love”. Buying a movie for hundreds of thousands of people, not promoting or showing, only dVd, etc., to increase the volume of the film and television library; of course, sometimes it is really a loss-making business, but under the theory of long tail, it has become ”It's hard to see where its gold mine is.
As soon as he heard 1g-ag, Jon-Filtimer's complexion changed, and he subconsciously took a deep breath: ”If he is interested, it's really ... bad.” Is it possible to stop the flame movie? 'S film buying team, let them go to watch ”Crash”? With such a weird and childish idea, Jon-Filtimer smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said positively: ”We can only watch the situation unfold, but this time, Tom, you know, mine Great determination.
He drank. Coffee, the middle-aged face has such a touch of fun: ”The Crash” has a strong story. It is a kind of movie that can be screened on a large scale in a week. The preliminary publicity work is done well. It can be ”Fahrenheit 911”. ”
”Fahrenheit 911” now receives 110 million North American box office for 11 weeks of screening, and nearly 200 million worldwide. It is the most beautiful battle after Lion Gate's ”Ghost Record”. Perhaps ”Crash” is the third time. Tom Oldenberg nodded, and his determination was great. The success of Fahrenheit 911 was enough to support them in explaining the action to the board. If an old friend comes, let ’s see!
”Yang, you are currently participating in a movie target in Toronto. I recommend you to watch” Crash ”because its script is so good. If it is a good movie, you must not miss it!”
Exciting voices from Australia-Sydney came out on the phone. Heath-Ledger once had a franchise meeting with the producer for the role of ”Hansen” in ”Crash”, and later Hansen was starred by Ryan-Philip. ”No, we are just about to buy its exercise rights.” Wang Yang closed his phone and dragged Jessica's hand around him, and walked to a projection hall in the convention center: ”Let's go watch” Crash! ” Jessica blinked curiously: ”Is Flame ready to buy it?” Wang Yang nodded. ”I decided very early.” ...
”Flame Movie joined the ranks of” crash ”exercise rights, and rumors have been expelled.” Xiao-Reuters.
”What !? Wan ...” Jon-Fildi Melton frowned tightly when he heard the news. The old friend still came. It's not surprising at all. How could Magic Yang not show up? The potential of Crash? The good thing and the bad thing The good thing is that ”Crash” may be better than the previous evaluation; the bad thing is that it is difficult to enter the Lions Gate movie library. Jon-Filtimer recovered, and could not help but scolded: ”Damn! This kid shouldn't go too far ...” Wan is almost the limit price of Lions Gate in the case of the flame film not participating in the competition, Now the finish line of the Lions Gate is the starting line of the flames, which is troublesome.
Although they are indeed determined, their opponent is a crazy man! And it was the miraculous young who had just taken a look in the book industry, and the money in his hands was too busy? Is it just like ”Crash”? Jon-Filtim's scalp suddenly numb, no way! The absolute potential of ”Crash” is amazing! He pondered for a while and said to Oldenburg: ”We mentioned Wan.”
”” Crash ”exercise competition is fierce, and many well-known businessmen have started a game.” -Mp ”Duolanglunduoxingbao”
As soon as the asking price of Flame Movie Wan started, Lion Gate Pictures reported that Wan now has the ”Magic Yang Certification”, Miramax can safely open Wan, Sony Classic does not fall behind Wan Wan ... Then Flame Movie Second quote, ten thousand. ”How much?”, ”What does Miracle Yang say?” Don Chandell, who was in charge of contacting the flames, hung his phone dumbfounded, and several other producers Robert-Moresco, Balbogan Bu, Paul At the time of Haggis Dunton, Don Chandler gradually showed a happy smile: ”He said that in any case, the flame movie must be” crash ”, ten thousand.”
”He is a black hole!”, ”I'm so mad!” According to gossip media, the Weinstein brothers of Miramax, after learning the latest price of the flame movie, scolded the miraculously in the cafe angrily. A reporter next to clearly heard and took a picture.
In fact, it ’s no wonder that the Weinstein Brothers are so annoyed that since the conflict with the parent company Disney Michael Esna has intensified, they have suffocated, although they can still produce “Chicago”, “Cold Mountain”, and “Kill Bill”. These good films, Disney has curbed their plans to make the company bigger and make more big production films; they have also proposed to join the competition for the acquisition of ”artisan movies”, which was rejected by Disney, and finally the fully funded Flame Movies Win the Lions Gate and get a library of movies that has gradually made people salivate; Disney also shot Miramax ’s plan to invest in the ”Lord of the Rings” trilogy; just this year, Michael Esna banned them from making lines. The plan of ”Fahrenheit 911” was then laughed by Lion Gate to the end ...
right now! If the price of Disney's ”Crash” license is too large, it means that Miramax withdrew from the auction. After the Weinsteins scolded those two emotions out of control, they also determined to completely break away from Disney and become independent portals!
