Chapter 1110 Dark Movie Universe
Real stories, real characters, real events!
These are all gimmicks, and this is a country where theism is rampant.
Although more people believe in money, the influence of gods and monsters is still huge, especially when there are large companies like Relativity Entertainment behind it.
Moreover, after experiencing the practice of "Luxing", James Win incorporated more documentary styles into "Summoning", making the film more realistic.
James Winn is beginning to shine in the horror movie genre, a style called master.
To use the comments of "Hollywood Reporter": As the director, James Wen, in this haunted story of the wilderness hut that has been used by many classic horror movies, has relied on his solid directing skills and excellent rhythm control to mobilize the viewer's emotions freely. The rendering technique of leaving blanks creates a more outstanding strange atmosphere than visual impact. With the arrival of the ending, this horror film adapted from real events has really shuddered.
Some media believe that "The Conjuring" should be rated as NC-17, because this film is too horrible and can scare people.
Relativity Entertainment is also constantly creating publicity stunts.
For example, posting a video of the so-called movie fans being interviewed on Netflix.
Q: Is it scary to watch horror movies?
Answer: It is terrible to watch a ghost movie adapted from real events.
Question again: Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?
Answer again: After watching the "Summoning" series, I have lost my will...
He even hyped some ghosts and gods through the media.
"What is "Summoning the Soul"? I'm afraid it will never be known. In today's era of advocating science, many supernatural events have been characterized as feudal superstitions, but there are indeed some unsolved mysteries in this world that humans cannot break through with science. All we can do about ghosts and gods is to have a sense of awe."
After the premiere, "The Conjuring" won unanimous praise from fans and the media, and its reputation is definitely one of the most outstanding among horror films.
Some movie fans said: "The biggest feature of "Summoning" is that it does not have excessive bloody, violent shots, and the sense of horror completely impacts people's hearts and emotions. It constantly tortures people's beliefs and cognitions, and pushes horror films to a new realm. Even if you are originally determined to be atheistic, you will definitely be shaken after watching the video."
As a horror film with great highlights and gimmicks, it has such a good reputation as the audience and media. Its response in the market can be imagined.
On the premiere of North America, "The Conjuring" won $48.96 million, setting a record since James Win's film!
After years of accumulation, this Chinese terror director finally ushered in an explosion.
The horror movie universe is becoming more and more successful, and the subsequent "Luxury 2", "Annabelle" and "Conjuring 2" will also attract more attention.
In addition, James Win also has new plans for "Summoning 2".
Many shots of the first part of "Summoning" were placed on the ghost doll Annabelle in order to lead to the movie; "Summoning 2" will have a terrifying nun, which will lead to the new series "Summoner".
It is said that the heroine of "The Conjuring" Villa Farmega has a sister named Tesha Farmega, who will later star in "The Conjuring 2" and "Annabel".
This was James Win's decision, and Ronan also gave him such power.
The horror movie universe is entirely responsible for this Chinese director. As long as there is no big problem, Ronan will not intervene at all.
In just ten days, the box office of "The Conjuring" in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars. Although horror films are short and fast, the final North America box office reached 150 million US dollars, which is not much problem.
The cinematic universe is a not-new concept that Hollywood can no longer ignore, because the three cinematic universes of Relativity Entertainment have all achieved great success.
Needless to say, Marvel's Avengers Cinema Universe, everyone in the industry can realize that when "Avengers" are released next year, the market will inevitably throw a super box office bomb.
The horror movie universe is not new, and in the past, there are film companies that have put multiple classic horror characters in one movie, and films like "Jason vs. Freddy" have also appeared.
But no company has ever been able to plan such a complete plan, using two so-called exorcist experts who don’t know if they are scammers in reality to create a series of horror movies, and it seems that the momentum of selling is just beginning and will continue in the future.
The American historical celebrity movie universe is a very unreliable plan planned and implemented by Uvi Ball. This director who is said to be very reliable except for the director's level. I wonder if it is because the audience is particularly interested in the movie universe, he actually achieved the best results since he started filming with a movie that spoofed the leader.
This made many people angry. Even such a sculptor can succeed. Why can't they?
Therefore, Universal Pictures pushed the "Universal Monster Cinema Universe Project" into the implementation stage as quickly as possible. In order to avoid the tragedy of Warner Bros., it decided to choose the mummy that the first movie was most familiar to fans and is more reliable.
Warner Bros.'s painful failure on "Green Lantern" has become a valuable lesson in Hollywood. No wonder Deadpool once broke the fourth wall and ran out to kill the Canadian who had not yet been led...
Universal Pictures tried hard to avoid this tragedy and specially invited Tom Cruise.
However, with the "Mission: Impossible" series, he won the Oscar for Best Actor, and also starred in the upcoming "Inception". Tom Cruise does not have as much demand for roles and pioneering new territory.
The former Tom Cruise was left with only the "Mission: Impossible" series of cards, and urgently needed a new hit movie, and then took over "New Mummy".
What follows is the tragedy, not only the tragedy of "The New Mummy", but also the monster movie universe of Universal Pictures.
After receiving the invitation, Tom Cruise came to ask Ronan for his opinion.
"Universal Pictures is very sincere." Ronan said after hearing Tom Cruise's description: "20 million US dollars plus 10% of the North American box office share."
Tom Cruise didn't care and said, "I can't be the richest man in the world, money or something doesn't matter."
He is also a billionaire now, and his pay is no longer the first factor that impressed him.
"Is the male lead invited by Universal Studios to play the role of a mummy?" Ronan still had questions but did not confirm it.
"No." Tom Cruise briefly explained: "is an expert in history."
Ronan understood and said directly: "Tom, this is a mummy movie. The audience's focus is on the mummy. Universal Pictures wants to create a monster movie universe, and the focus is on the mummy. In this way, this character is destined to be difficult to please, and it will even become the main content of Universal Film, that is, the existence of Universal Monsters."
Tom Cruise nodded slowly and received Ronan's reminder that these principles were not difficult to understand.
Ronan turned around and asked, "Will you go and play monsters?"
"Impossible." Tom Cruise is not an ordinary star. He must consider his positioning when choosing a role. He said: "I can't play a mummy, it doesn't match my image."
Ronan spread his hands: "The result is obvious."
Tom Cruise said: "I understand, and I will reject Universal Pictures when I look back."
Universal Pictures is ambitious and has invested a lot of resources to create the monster movie universe. The actors alone have decided on Russell Clow, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, etc., and there is no shortage of stars.
Since there are so many stars, Tom Cruise doesn't think he is short of him.
It’s better to carry forward the spirit and give the opportunity to others.
A week later, Universal Pictures convened a press conference to announce the Monster Cinema Universe plan, and named it - Dark Cinema Universe!
It seems to be to follow Marvel's Avengers Project. The first phase of the Dark Cinema Universe consists of six members, namely: Mummy, Doctor Incarnation, Frankenstein, Transparent Man, Werewolf, and Vampire Dracula.
These are all famous monster characters in Hollywood film history, and they have been popular in the production and distribution of Universal Pictures before.
In a sense, this is also a huge investment in the remake of the film.
Universal Pictures is ambitious. If every movie could be like the two "Mummys" directed by Stephen Somos, they would have a series that is no less than the Avengers' movie universe.
Selling around can be crazy!
But whether it can succeed depends on the movie.
Ronan vaguely remembers that Universal Pictures’ dark film universe plan eventually turned into an indefinitely postponed lifetime series.
In late September, Relativity Entertainment took advantage of the brokerage crisis and gained a lot of benefits on Wall Street. It made a series of arrangements for 20th Century Fox in advance.
On the other hand, after a long period of negotiations, Qianlu Group, which is from the other side of the Pacific, reached a cooperation agreement with Relativity Entertainment, and the two parties jointly invested to register and establish a new company in the Cayman Islands for future acquisition plans.
After the new company is established, the two groups will inject capital in batches. If the plan goes well, the funds to operate will be at the level of 10 billion US dollars.
Qianlu Group has a deep background on the other side of the Pacific and has raised a large amount of funds. Its head Lin Jian is very clear that this opportunity to win the first-tier Hollywood companies in one fell swoop. After missing Relativity Entertainment, it may never be encountered again.
Qianlu Group, which is determined to make achievements in the entertainment industry, has also maintained a certain degree of vigilance and began to invest its strength.
At the same time, Ronan received news that Christopher Nolan, who was preparing for the filming of "The Dark Knight Rises", was in great trouble for Warner Bros., and Warner Bros. intervened in the production of "The Dark Knight Rises", which led to conflicts between the two sides.
