MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1065 qualitative improvement

Since the establishment of Chaos Shadow Industry, they seem to continue to create miracles, but it is far from this time.

As we all know, all the works released by Chaos Films so far have not failed. Whether it is a commercial film or an awards season, all of them have achieved profitability, almost a step a year, especially the 2006 "Fury Road", 150 million With an investment of 10,000 million plus a publicity budget of less than 20 million, in exchange for a global box office of 1.29 billion, it can be called the most profitable work in history among works with an investment of 100 million.

As an independent film company that has not received financing from Wall Street, the original accumulation speed of Chaos Films is really staggering. However, since Chaos Shadow Industry is not listed, people do not have detailed data on the company's internal economic situation and can only evaluate it. Therefore, when Chaos Pictures announced that it had completed the acquisition of Marvel at a transaction price of 1.45 billion, the entire Hollywood was shocked—especially in the wave of the financial crisis, this became even more appalling.

There are rumors inside Wall Street that in the financial crisis triggered by the real estate bubble, there were a total of five groups of people who accurately predicted the impending crisis before the storm came, and then fiercely sold short positions, becoming one of the few big players in the catastrophe. winner. Four groups of people came from within Wall Street, represented by Michael-Burry, who received a return of nearly 500%, with a net profit of more than 2.6 billion, and another group of people was... Ian -Strello.

Ian, who works in a venture capital firm, is also inextricably linked with Wall Street. During this financial turmoil, he made full use of his connections and abilities, and successfully won a return of up to 2 billion for Chaos Films — This is the net income figure, which really makes the whole Wall Street look up. Many hedge funds have extended an olive branch to Ian, and have also shown great interest in Chaos Films.

Just when people were shocked by the news that "Road of Fury" received more than 500 million dividends, Chaos Films successfully completed another primitive accumulation, not only escaped from the financial crisis, but also won a big victory, and won Completed the acquisition of Marvel as the end, and gave the whole of Hollywood a sap.

The most unbelievable thing is that Chaos Films has remained calm and completed all the acquisitions in a swift and swift manner, without even leaking any news. From another point of view, people never thought that Chaos Films, an independent film industry, would have such big ambitions, so naturally they didn't notice Chaos Films' small moves. By the time everyone realized it, Marvel Entertainment had become a branch of Chaos Films.

This is the real earth-shaking.

Today's Chaos Films can no longer be measured by DreamWorks or New Line Pictures. After having the distribution department, screenwriting department, production department, and trailer soundtrack department, Chaos Films has now added the Marvel department, which makes The intellectual property department they just created has rapidly expanded and grown, and it seems that the rudimentary framework of a huge empire can already be seen; in addition, with the victory of short-term investment, Chaos Shadow has at least one billion dollars in liquidity at its disposal— This is on the premise that Ian did not continue to invest in the cycle. Everyone knows that what Wall Street is best at is making money with money. The shackles have been completely broken.

After experiencing the seventy-ninth Oscar, people always thought that they had a full understanding of the energy of Chaos Films, but now they found that their vision was too narrow, and Chaos Films had already developed to another level. A whole new level. Just like Lance.

People are always underestimating Lance, always questioning Lance, and always suppressing Lance, but in the end they find that they have never really caught up with Lance, and can only watch that Qi Juechen from a distance. back. At this moment, Chaos Shadow Industry is strongly declaring its presence as the seventh player, showing its sharpness!

Especially at such a stall, the six major film companies were trapped by the financial crisis, and there were varying degrees of chaos. It was impossible for Chaos Films to find a better opportunity than this, so it turned out. Obviously, Theo Strelo, the CEO of Chaos Films, is also aware of this. Chaos Films, which has been silent for the past few months, finally announced their next development plan.

The first is the latest news about the two works of "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk". "Iron Man" is confirmed to be on this year's Thanksgiving schedule. "Invincible Hulk" will debut as the opening game of next year's summer file, and it will hit strongly in the first week of May.

Just from this detail, it can be seen that the layout of Chaos Shadow Industry has begun to become more comprehensive. Because in addition to these two works, Chaos Films also announced the release plans of several other works, including the independent films they purchased the distribution rights for, as well as the works they are shooting and producing, such as "No Country for Old Men", the The work will be the first to land at this year's Venice Film Festival - this will be the first time that Lance will bring his own work to the three major European film festivals, but as an actor.

Secondly, Chaos Films announced the shooting plan of three works in the next three years. Marvel's first work "Iron Man 2" after entering Chaos Films will be shot next spring. "Hulk 2" will be filmed next fall, and the new hero "Thor" under preparation has also been put on the agenda, but the specific shooting time has not yet been announced.

Both "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk" are still in post-production and have not yet been released, but Chaos Films has shown enough ambition and blueprint, which undoubtedly makes the fans' emotions even higher , The expectations for these two works are also slowly rising.

In addition, Chaos Films has approved the shooting plan of three independent films-all three works are from the screenwriting foundation sponsored by Chaos Films, namely "Frozen River", "Killer Has No Vacation" and "Milk". ". These three works will be invested and produced by Chaos Films, and will be responsible for distribution.

Among them, "Milk" is the first to start and has entered the preparatory stage. At present, Lance is actively contacting Sean Penn, hoping that he can play the leading role, but Sean is still hesitant, because he hopes that Lance can be in charge of the director - in full swing There was no way for Lance, who filmed "No Country for Old Men," to commit. It is rumored that Lance intends to find Gus Van Sant to direct, and they have worked together on "Elephant" during the diorama film industry.

Finally, it is the intellectual property department of Chaos Films. After acquiring the rights to adapt several sets of youth novels, they have successfully purchased the film adaptation rights of the musical "Mamma Mia" and are actively negotiating with Meryl-Style. Tripp, I hope she can act as the heroine of this work. As we all know, Meryl has always supported Lance, and she very much hopes that the two can cooperate. Once it happens, will Lance's next work be a musical movie? That's where it gets interesting.

In comparison, the "Twilight Saga", which officially started casting, is not favored. Many media think that Chaos Films is too aggressive and greedy. This set of youth novels does not have the value of adaptation, and The box office outlook is also worrisome.

If you don't make a move, you can do it, and if you make a move, you will be a blockbuster. The big moves of Chaos Films are really menacing, and it can be clearly felt that they are well prepared. They started before the Oscars, before the awards season, and even before "Fury Road". I'm playing this game of chess now, waiting for the right time to push forward with all my strength.

Now that Chaos Films has made its debut, the next step is to see how the six major film companies respond.

Midsummer has arrived, and half of 2007 is about to pass in a blink of an eye. Journalists from all over the world have come to the Côte d'Azur in the Mediterranean Sea to join in the carnival of the Cannes Film Festival. This year's Cannes is really too lively, especially the arrival of Lance, which made people deeply feel the enthusiasm of the French people. Although Lance didn't come with his works this year, Chaos Films presented a "Diving Bell and the Butterfly", which once again made a big splash.

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" was well received in Cannes~www.novelbuddy.com~ and successfully won the Best Director Award at the closing ceremony. It is generally believed that it is likely to represent France in this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; Then "three weeks and two days in April" won the Palme d'Or, announcing the conclusion of the 60th Cannes Film Festival.

However, the vigorous Cannes was robbed of the limelight by the other side of the Atlantic. Warner Bros. and Disney announced that the two sides will cooperate to shoot three DC comic adaptations. This news is undoubtedly a blockbuster!

Whether it is the cooperation of the two giants, or the target of the cooperation is locked on comics again, this can be called the most sensational news in 2007, especially after Chaos Pictures acquired Marvel Comics. Quietly, comic-adapted films have risen strongly and become a new direction for the development of the film industry. This really confuses people in the industry, because last year's comic-adapted films suffered a disastrous failure—Warner Bros.' "Superman Returns" Bear the brunt of it.

Compared with Chaos Pictures, Warner Bros. and Disney seem a little calmer. The two sides signed a cooperation agreement for three works. The first work will continue the style of "Sin City" and the critically acclaimed "300 Warriors" earlier this year; , but Warner Bros. prefers to be directed by Zack-Snyder (Zack-Snyder); and "Green Lantern" that will be put into production next winter or the following spring.

Obviously, the failure of "Superman Returns" and "X-Men 3" at the box office in 2006 still made Warner Bros. and Disney more cautious, but their determination to develop the potential of comic book adaptations is beyond doubt.

Warner Bros. Plus Disney vs. Chaos Pictures? Now Hollywood is going to be exciting.
