Hollywood legendary director

Regarding the right to remake "Planet of the Apes", both sides have cognitive biases.

From Joseph's point of view, the project didn't have any brilliant results. It was a waste of money when it fell. It is better to lie down and draw profits. But for Fox, it is precisely because Firefly wants it that Fox CEO Jim is so cautious and greedy.

Change to individual manufacturers, maybe things can be negotiated soon.

Without him, Firefly’s project success rate, return rate, and profit rate are the most prominent production companies in recent years. Other manufacturers may also have explosive trump cards, but in general, most of the success rates have not reached 50%, just like A joke that is often self-deprecating in the industry-there is no need for rigorous project review at all. If you directly invest 10 books, it is very likely that 5 of them will win the market.

Of course, the reason why a joke is a joke is definitely unreasonable, but it also indirectly reveals that the studio shooting mode does not guarantee a high success rate. This is why Hollywood is so popular as a platter investment, and it basically includes multiple The above project is packaged and calculated, because this is done through data analysis, and the return on investment is relatively guaranteed, so that you will not lose money directly.

Analyzing behavior from this perspective, Firefly’s annual project success rate of nearly 90% and a return rate of about 370% are really scary. Invest 10 million, and there is a 90% chance of recovering costs while earning 3700. Wan net profit.This is the biggest reason for the rapid rise of Mann Media.

Just like the Krypton Gold Draw Card Game, when everyone is busy calculating the probability, Firefly is already complaining about why the SSR is not drawn in this single draw, which undoubtedly has dealt a big blow to industry insiders.

In addition, the high return rate and high success rate bring many benefits. The trust of the audience, the recognition of the label, and even the brokerage companies and various trade unions are willing to give priority to support when they hear that it is a Firefly project.

Society, do you like to revolve around successful people?

......

Fox Pictures.

After being temporarily notified, senior officials from various departments gathered in the meeting room in twos and threes, and learned from the president Jim that Firefly is seeking the right to remake "Planet of the Apes".

When everyone digested this message and thought about the deep meaning behind it, Ghosn, an executive of the publishing department, suddenly said with great interest: "Can we shoot ourselves? I mean, since Firefly is optimistic about this project, it shows that the current The market can accept such a film. In fact, the subject of threat theory has always been well-watched, right?"

Yes, there has always been a market that has threatened human survival as the core of plot development. The success of films such as "2012", "The Day After Acquired," "Independence Day", "Alien", and "New York Tour" all show this.

Of course, the reason why the distribution department is so active is that since the public opinion storm at the eavesdropping door gradually subsided, Fox Pictures has been eager for a beautiful performance report, but this year, they have only two high-investment projects temporarily-one is Blue Sky Animation has prepared "Rio Adventure", which is nearly completed for two years, and one is filming "X-Men: First Class".

There is no doubt that for a large studio, there are indeed few high-standard projects a year. Whether it is a waste of schedule operations or vacant distribution resources, it is not a positive feedback.

The president looked in the direction of the senior production department, and one of them followed the topic and said: "If you want to start, who is the director? Brother Strauss?"

A very simple question, but it baffled everyone.

Just as everyone knows that filming comedy is easy to be a big and low risk, the problem lies in the production team familiar with the subject-the brothers were originally born as special effects artists, and wanted to take advantage of the directorship of "Alien vs. Predator" in 2007 to rank among The director class of the film and television industry did not expect the film to receive overwhelming negative reviews after it was released.

A classic series can be resisted by fans, and the two brothers can only continue their studies in computer special effects.

The production department has more concerns. In fact, they don't really want to start an old movie that has been interpreted several times. If the results are still not good, they can only remember this.

To put it simply, the production department really wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs. "The money in the market cannot be made. We can't even cover the summer vacation. It is because of a proposal by someone else to start a project hastily. There are risks involved. How old is it? Moreover, we at Fox and Mann Media have a cooperation. They sent a copy of the proposal for "The US Team 2" some time ago, so this project is authorized to Firefly to shoot, we don't have to bear the production risk, why No? It's nothing more than negotiating a suitable condition, which can also guarantee this year's profit target and a gorgeous financial report."

"I still said that, why should I distribute the money I can earn to others." Ghosn was the first objection, "We can't shoot? No schedule? Need resources to incubate?"

"Huh, if your publishing department gives you some help, can Sony and Universal get the publishing rights of "Reunion"?" The people in the production department can't show weakness, and don't want the publishing department to be arrogant, decisively expose the wounds, and revisit the old things-at the beginning "Re-Lian" was a bid, and Fox always thought it was his own terms that did not play the role of animation.

Now that "Reunion" is selling so well, I feel a little regretful.

"Okay." Jim interrupted the dispute between the two parties.

Of course, the opposition of some people cannot stop the enthusiasm of other departments.

Just like the production department considered, they don’t want surprises. They need profits instead of risks. Even the people on the review committee said that after the project remake rights are handed over to Firefly, they may be able to capture the market audience more clearly and discuss In the end, even the hesitant Fox President Jim Garnopros felt that it would be more reasonable to fill up the quarterly financial report this year and give the parent company an account. If Mr. Murdoch is happy, they will have a good life, so don’t worry. The seat is unstable.

In many cases, the careful thinking of managers is consistent.

President Jim nodded and said: "In the new year, we need to express a high-profile gesture to the outside world to boost the label. First give them an intention and say that we allow them to remake, but the premise is that there is no room for negotiation of copyright ownership. The announcement is also ours. Of course, Firefly will get a certain investment share, and the right to co-produce the sequel will also be guaranteed."

This condition did not meet Firefly's expectations at all, and Lyman naturally refused.

The project was in a wrangling stage. After Firefly chose to treat it cold for a period of time, Fox kept making concessions and seeking a balance of interests.

No way. In 10 years, Mann Media's performance is very beautiful, and the financial situation is very healthy, so it can only be Fox.

"Forget it, the joint issuance will be the joint issuance, and the first investor will also give it to them. Anyway, we don't have any capital investment and can make a net profit." Someone said to himself comfort.
