After consecutive holidays, the working life of the North American public is gradually getting back on track.

For Hollywood, the first full week at the box office in 1990 has quietly passed, and this week, "Batman: War Hour" is still the focus of everyone's attention.

From January 5th to January 11th, in the third week of its release, the box office of "Batman: Hour of War" showed a significant drop, with a drop of 33% compared with last week.

However, because of last week's box office base of more than 80 million US dollars, "Batman: War Hour" fell by 33% this week, and its box office receipts are still as high as 59.51 million US dollars. In three weeks, the groundbreaking superhero film quickly crossed the $200 million mark, hitting $230.69 million.

Under the brilliance of Batman: Hour of War, every other film of the same time period seems to be dwarfed.

Because the film has the same hot media attention as the box office, during this time, many news related to this film have become the focus of the media.

The first of course is the DC superhero universe plan that was born with "Batman: Hour of War".

According to various sources, Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures will jointly develop a number of DC's Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman and other superhero movie projects in the next few years, and through a complete story line will all The films are linked together to form a massive dc superhero cinematic universe series.

After the news was officially released, not only fans and movie fans were boiling with it, but a large number of media also began to find ways to find out more news about the DC Cinematic Universe plan. The high-level executives of Time Warner and Daenerys have become the pursuit of reporters these days. object.

While keeping a close eye on the progress of negotiations between the two companies over the implementation details of the DC Cinematic Universe plans, another highly topical gossip quickly spread after Saturday's Batman: Hour of War celebration party.

At the beginning of the "Batman: Time for War" project, Adam Baldwin, Valerie Golino and other leading actors all signed a long-term film contract with Daenerys Entertainment, which is not a secret to the outside world. At the beginning, many people questioned whether Daenerys Entertainment was necessary to do so.

As the box office of the film exploded, some of the creators who were rumored to have signed long-term contracts became dissatisfied with the remuneration they received and hoped to renegotiate the agreement.

In order to express its dissatisfaction with this behavior, Daenerys Entertainment directly canceled the additional cash incentive plan originally intended to give all the crew members of "Batman: Hour of War" a total of tens of millions of dollars.

This rumor was simply too topical and enough to attract the public's attention, so it was quickly hyped.

The media first talked about how much Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner could get from the release of Batman: Hour of War.

The domestic box office quickly rushed to 230 million US dollars in three weeks. "Batman: War Hour" has no problem with the total North American box office of 400 million US dollars, and the next is overseas.

Batman can be described as one of the cultural symbols of the Americans. Although it has a very wide popularity around the world, overseas audiences will not have the deep feelings that Americans have accumulated over half a century. Before the film was released, some industry media decided that the overseas box office of the film would definitely not exceed the domestic box office.

However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations.

This phenomenal superhero movie created by Simon Westeros is full of too much groundbreaking, with a series of breathtaking film technology and action design details, even if the Batman is replaced by other characters, It can definitely be described as 'amazing', which is enough to ensure that overseas audiences will not have barriers to cultural acceptance.

Therefore, the media is now generally optimistic that the overseas box office scale of "Batman: War Hour" is enough to be equal to that of the mainland.

According to the global box office calculation of 800 million US dollars, the producers and distributors can probably recover the box office share of 350 million US dollars. According to the leaked distribution agreement information, which belongs to Daenerys Entertainment should be about 250 million US dollars.

Based on the release progress of a film in recent years, the money could probably be recovered within the next year.

Also able to reap most of the revenue within one year is the sales of film derivatives. According to the media’s forecast of $2 billion in derivatives sales in the next year, Daenerys Entertainment should be able to earn about $300 million, excluding the need to pay dc 10% of the comic company, and the rest has $270 million.

Adding the above two, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to recover $500 million in funds with "Batman: Hour of War" in the next year.

Even if the production and distribution costs of the film are directly counted at $100 million, Daenerys Entertainment could make a net profit of $400 million from the project in the next year.

Next, one year later, during the revenue period within five years, the follow-up derivative sales, videotape distribution and TV broadcast revenue of "Batman: War Hour" will definitely be higher than the previous two. You know, according to the latest statistics, with the further expansion of the videotape market, the average proportion of global videotape revenue in Hollywood movies has exceeded 45%, and the proportion of box office revenue in total revenue has fallen to less than 30%.

As a result, Batman: Hour of War is at least as good as Daenerys Entertainment's first year's revenue in terms of follow-up channels.

Taken together, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to earn at least $800 million from the distribution of "Batman: Hour of War" in the next five years.

As a publisher, Time Warner's revenue share in all aspects will not be less than 200 million US dollars.

1 billion US dollars, which is exactly the total profit scale of "Batman: War Hour" generally recognized by most of the media.

Daenerys and Time Warner can make $1 billion with "Batman: War Hour", how much will the male and female lead pay?

The media immediately exposed.

Adam Baldwin, who played Batman, $300,000. Valerie Golino, Catwoman, $200,000.

The two add up to only $500,000.

The salaries of other supporting roles in the film are even lower in comparison.

Adam Baldwin and Valerie Golino have quickly amassed a fan following since the release of Batman: Hour of War.

Under the news that the media, who feared the world would not be chaotic, saw that idols could only receive such a small salary, Daenerys and Time Warner were able to earn 1 billion US dollars. Naturally, they became dissatisfied. Many fans began to write letters and fight. The phone calls demanded that Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner renegotiate their contracts to give their idols a raise.

The relevant news was originally released by Daenerys Entertainment, and it was natural to quickly respond to this situation.

Although it has not been acquired by Time Warner, but has always maintained a close relationship with the company, the cnn channel of Turner Broadcasting Company made a special issue soon after the news, visiting the last few Hollywood players who were shortlisted for Batman roles last year. Actor status.

Compared with Adam Baldwin, who has already risen to fame, the last few shortlisted actors last year, the best one just got a resident role in an abc TV series, which is more dramatic, and some people even fell into the San Fernando Valley. some of the 'movie' sets.

Subsequently, the "Hollywood Reporter" also exposed the details of Adam Baldwin's five-part contract.

In addition to the low salary of $300,000 for the first film, the total value of Adam Baldwin's remaining four films is actually as high as $30 million, and the average salary of $7.5 million is completely the level of first-line stars. Compared to the pay that Christopher Reeve received from the three "Superman" films, Daenerys Entertainment is already very generous.

"The Hollywood Reporter" also pointed out that, relying on the popularity brought by participating in the "Batman" series, Adam Baldwin can not only take on other movies at the level of A-list stars, but also get many other well-paid advertising endorsements. These cumulative, definitely higher than the income of most Hollywood stars.

And the same goes for the other rising stars in Batman: Hour of War.

Without the opportunity of "Batman: Hour of War", most of these people would not be known to the public, and they would even be reduced to the status of actors who were shortlisted for Batman but ultimately lost.

Because of the importance of the DC Cinematic Universe project to Time Warner, Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Terry Semel stated in an interview with abc "Good Morning America" ​​that Warner Bros. Pictures will never make films that lack the spirit of contract. people cooperate.

Hollywood studios usually sign additional option contracts with actors in their key projects, especially newcomers, which actually represents the interests of the entire Hollywood studio class.

Therefore, following Terry Semel's statement, Hollywood studio executives such as Fox's Joe Ross and MGM-United's Shirley Lansing have also spoken out, saying they will resist the lack of a contract Spiritual filmmaker.

Simple words are always unconvincing, and a seemingly unrelated trivial incident that happened next made many Hollywood stars and filmmakers tremble in their hearts.

After completing the "Born on the Fourth of July" with Tom Cruise, Oliver Stone, who is preparing for his new film "The Gate", has publicly stated that he does not intend to invite Meg Ryan to be his story about the gate. The heroine of the biopic of the band's story.

Later, veteran Hollywood director John Slesinger, who directed "Midnight Cowboy", also publicly clarified that his new film "Midnight Omen" has confirmed that Melanie Griffith will be used as the heroine. The news that Gary Ryan might play is utter nonsense.

Immediately afterwards, news came out that the famous Hollywood photographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who had served as a famous film photographer such as "Blood Labyrinth" and "Flying Over the Future", was preparing his first directorial new film "The Addams Family" at this time. He told Paramount executives that if Paramount insisted on asking Meg Ryan to play the female lead, he would withdraw from the project himself, and other actors who had already confirmed other opportunities for this famous TV adaptation project also publicly expressed that they did not want to be with May. In collaboration with Greg Ryan.

Things are repeated over and over again, as long as your mind is not stupid, you can probably see the problem.

Meg Ryan's affair with Daenerys Entertainment is almost completely public, and the Hollywood actress who quickly rose to the top of the line on "When Harry Met Sally" quickly became famous with Daenerys Entertainment. The two remaining movie option contracts were released.

A conflict broke out between Daenerys Entertainment and caa because of the "Rain Man" incident. In the end, the seemingly unrelated Meg Ryan and the main creators of "Rain Man" were terminated by caa together.

Unlike Dustin Hoffman, Barry Levinson and Tom Cruise, who are already entrenched in Hollywood, Meg Ryan has just become famous and has not yet fully established a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Then, the actress first spoke loudly after she became famous, then terminated her contract with Daenerys Entertainment, and also participated in the "Rocketman" that Paramount Pictures stole from Daenerys Entertainment. come deeper and deeper.

Most importantly, the box office of "Rocketman" also

Fail, and in Hollywood, you're nothing if you don't have a box office.

Coupled with the atmosphere of public opinion at this time.

Most people who pay attention to this have a proverb that crosses their minds: beat the dog before the lion.

Hit the dog in front of the lion.

To describe it with a more appropriate idiom in Chinese, kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Even a year ago, Daenerys Entertainment wanted to block a first-line actress, it was just wishful thinking.

However, last year's 10-film plan directly linked most of Hollywood with Daenerys Entertainment, and five of the traditional Big Seven got the projects in the 10-film plan. The remaining two, MGM, also began to move closer to Daenerys Entertainment because of the intervention of Australian capital.

In the end, Paramount, because of the two scripts of "Rocketman" and "Firebird", did not get the project in the 10-film plan, so it did not need to entertain Daenerys.

Although the "Rocketman" project failed, as long as Meg Ryan Ken significantly reduced the salary, relying on the popularity of "When Harry Met Sally", Paramount management was still happy to pick up a bargain.

However, Daenerys Entertainment may not be able to influence the decisions of Paramount executives, but it is still easy to exert influence on specific film projects. The main creators of "The Addams Family" publicly boycotted the cooperation with Meg Ryan, which is the result of Amy's efforts. Even if Paramount doesn't care about Daenerys Entertainment, these filmmakers are still looking forward to working with Daenerys Entertainment. cooperating.

There's no way Paramount could force Meg Ryan against the wishes of all the other creators.

Outside of the Big Seven, under the leadership of Daenerys Entertainment, as long as there are other options, other second- and third-tier film companies can't make enemies for a Meg Ryan.

A first-line actress completely lost her foothold in Hollywood in the face of the power of Daenerys Entertainment. Many Hollywood stars felt that they were afraid of the power of Daenerys Entertainment. : The hero of "The Time of War" wisely dismissed all thoughts, and in an interview with "Entertainment Weekly", he took the initiative to express that he was very honored to be able to participate in the filming of "Batman" and would definitely try his best to play this role in the subsequent series. .

After Adam Baldwin opened his mouth, whether or not he had some ideas, the other main creators also wisely expressed their attitudes publicly or privately.

As a result, this conflict that has not yet started quietly ended in an atmosphere of gossip.

When you hit a stick, you always get a sweet date.

Daenerys Entertainment later announced that, because of the film's big box office sales, it will give out an additional cash reward to all crew members who participated in the filming of "Batman: Hour of War".

However, the total bonus for everyone was directly halved to $10 million.

$10 million, $20 million, nothing compared to what Daenerys Entertainment can get from the Batman: Hour of War project, and the bonus is halved, which is also an attitude.
