Entertainment: God-level director
Chapter 446
After chatting for a few words, Lin Ran officially started the meeting.
He looked at Lin Rong:”Old Lin, please report on the current projects launched by the company.”
“Yes, Director Lin. Lin
Rong nodded quickly, and after a brief pause, he reported:”Currently, the company is in charge of four projects, namely”A Dog’s Purpose”, and the filming is currently more than half-way;
《”Shark Beach” is currently in the post-production stage and is expected to be released in September this year”
“Be careful not to make it too big, and try to get it screened in China.”
When Lin Ran heard this, he reminded me
“I know Director Lin, I will personally monitor the editing, and the scale of the Chinese version will be smaller.”
“continue.”Lin Ran nodded.
“The third film is”Escape Room”, which was released in mid-April. It is currently in the promotion stage and has also obtained a license to be released in our country.”
“The fourth part is”A Quiet Place”, which is currently in the early stages of preparation.”
Lin Rong reported again.
Lin Ran nodded after hearing this.
Although Fantasy Entertainment is currently considered a second-tier Hollywood company, compared with real Hollywood giants such as Disney, Universal Pictures, and Warner Brothers, it is actually still far behind.
Right? A blockbuster with a production cost of one to two billion US dollars cannot be controlled.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it may directly lead to the company’s bankruptcy. There are too many such examples in Hollywood.
For example,”Wind Talker” directed by Wu Baige”, the production cost alone was as high as 115 million, not counting the money for promotion, and the global box office revenue was only 77 million US dollars.
It was a huge loss, which directly led to MGM’s financial crisis. Just over a year later, this A century-old store was acquired and controlled by a group of consortiums headed by Sony.
Therefore, the projects currently controlled by Fantasy Entertainment are often small investments, and the production cost will be strictly controlled below 50 million.
Most costs are 10 to 20 million. A small number of 30 to 40 million
《”A Dog’s Purpose” cost $22 million to produce, while”Shark Tank” and”A Quiet Place” both cost $17 million.
《”Escape Room” costs even less, only $10 million.
The total of the four movies is only 70 million US dollars. As long as one of the movies is successful, the money can be recovered.
Among these four movies, except for”A Dog’s Purpose”, which is a comedy, the other three are all horror, suspense and thriller themes, which is the type where it is easiest to make a big difference out of small things.
This is also the favorite movie theme of second-tier Hollywood companies.
Other second-tier companies can make money through these themes, not to mention Lin Ran, a prophetic time traveler.
The four movies currently on the market have all been box office hits in their previous lives.”The Beach” has a global box office of US$119 million,”Escape Room” US$156 million, and”A Dog’s Purpose” US$250 million.
《”A Quiet Place” is even more impressive, with a cost of US$17 million and a global box office of US$340 million. It earned US$188 million in the United States alone, with a box office return ratio of 20 times.
It can be said that the investment in these projects is small, and the total box office does not seem to be high, but the profits they bring are no less than some blockbusters with investments of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Next, Lin Ran talked about the distribution situation of”Exploding Drummer” and asked Fantasy Entertainment to undertake global distribution outside the Chinese market. This can also be regarded as a check of the company’s distribution capabilities.
In the past few years, the main distributors of Lin Ran’s several movies were Universal Pictures. Although Fantasy Entertainment also joined, it was only a preliminary one, and its real distribution capabilities have not yet been tested.
It was already noon after the meeting, and Lin Ran went back after having a meal with the company management.
On the way back to the hotel, he called Emma Roberts
“Lin, is something wrong?”
“Emma, you can go to the set of”A Quiet Place” and audition for the role of Regan Abbott. I’ve said hello.”
“Really?”
Emma Roberts was full of surprises. She didn’t expect Lin Ran to do things so fast.
“Of course, but if you want to get this role, your acting skills must also pass the test. Lin Ran reminded
“Lin, don’t worry.”
When it comes to acting, Emma Roberts is much more confident.
She can be regarded as a child star. Even if her acting skills are not as good as those of veteran actors, she is definitely qualified in a commercial film.
However, Hollywood, like China, is by no means If you’re good at acting, you’ll get roles.
Just look at what that fat guy Harvey Weinstein did.
“Emma, if you do well in”A Quiet Place”, Fantasy Entertainment will launch a series of movies next.
Moreover, it is a movie with mainly female characters, so you can participate in the competition when the time comes.”
Lin Ran reminded me again.
“Lin, I will definitely work hard.”
Emma Roberts was even more excited and quickly assured.
Hollywood is now dominated by series of movies, but in these series of movies, almost all of them are dominated by male characters. Even the heroine has very few roles and is an embellished role.
And Fantasy Entertainment is going to launch a series of movies with a female protagonist next. Once the casting news is released, it will definitely be snapped up.
Although Lin Ran has not promised to give the heroine directly to her, it is already a good thing to join the competition. Seize the opportunity
“Lin, are you still free tonight? I’m coming to find you”
“Emma, I’m going back to China in the afternoon”
“oh.”
Emma Roberts was a little disappointed. She wanted to continue to deepen her relationship with Lin Ran. By the way, she would use the content and themes of the series of heroine movies so that she could do targeted training in advance.
Lin Ran didn’t care about Emma – Disappointed, Roberts hung up the phone directly, packed his luggage after returning to the hotel, and flew back to China with Feng Yuanzheng at around five o’clock in the afternoon.
