Chapter 1121 Crazy
Strictly speaking, "Beauty and the Beast" is the second part of the real-life fairy tale movie series of Relativity Entertainment. "Alice in Wonderland" was released in the summer season. With the help of the 3D wave led by "Avatar", it achieved great success.
To this day, the box office of "Alice in Wonderland" in North America has reached US$368.94 million. Since overseas screenings have not yet ended, the global final box office will definitely exceed US$1.1 billion.
The popularity of this live-action fairy tale movie has also attracted the attention of "Beauty and the Beast", and the live-action film production and promotion of "Beauty and the Beast" are all based on the classic animated feature film.
Relativity Entertainment has long received relevant authorization from Walt Disney, so there is no need to worry about copyright disputes.
In Hollywood, the live-action classic fairy tale movies were a major development trend. Whether those films were black, adult, or started a new job, or had a cross-stories, it is not difficult to see Hollywood's commercial rewriting of a "story source".
"Beauty and the Beast" does not restore the fairy tale, but the classic animated feature film.
Since the trailer was released, this live-action fairy tale movie has set off waves of crazes on the Internet. The trailer has broken the record 62 million views in 24 hours on Netflix video and Netflix sharing.
Fans were surprised to find that the pictures and scenes in the trailer were almost perfectly restored from the 1991 cartoon.
The trailer and the animation version are compared with the pictures, and the effect is excellent. Many classic scenes are restored one after another. The beasts are captured and destroyed, Bell enters the castle, Gaston brags, candlesticks, clocks and dances together, no one is left behind.
This is exactly why the trailer has attracted much attention.
Nearly twenty years have passed, and the years of broadcasting of "Beauty and the Beast" has brought too many fans.
As one of Disney Pictures’ most precious works, "Beauty and the Beast" was born in the second golden age of animated films. The works of the same period also include "The Little Mermaid", "The Lion King" and "Aladdin".
The animation caused a sensation as soon as it was released, and was regarded as a masterpiece of a generation. It won two Oscars, Best Original Music and Best Song, three Golden Globes, four Grammys and many other honors.
Relativity Entertainment has also conducted market research and perfectly copied animated feature films into live-action movies, which is very likely to impress the audience again.
Commercially speaking, the original animation is perfect enough. If you want to shoot a new story architecture version, it is safest to change it according to the original version.
This would be a mediocre work with almost no innovation, but also a large-scale commercial production film with infinitesimal commercial risks.
In addition to the movie, peripheral products have been fully distributed, especially the same clothing as Bell, which can be seen everywhere in boutiques across the United States.
Sales data also prove that the power of real restoration is very powerful. The movie "Beauty and the Beast" has not been officially released yet. With the poster and trailer alone, several of Bell's skirts have been sold for tens of millions of dollars.
In addition, under the publicity of relativity entertainment, Bell has become a representative of women in the new era, such as loving literature, having his own thoughts, and not easily retreating. They were all thrown on Bell's head during the publicity.
With the bonus of many conditions, "Beauty and the Beast" set a record of pre-sales of 41.25 million US dollars before its release.
Although the high ticket prices of 3D and imax3d played a huge role, it is enough to prove how popular it was before the screening.
You should know that the internal box office of Relativity Entertainment is only 100 million US dollars for the first weekend of this film.
Before the first weekend of December, Embassy Films held a global premiere for Beauty and the Beast at the Chiefs Stone Theater in Hollywood.
In addition to the main creators of the crew, many Hollywood stars and celebrities who call themselves "Beauty and the Beast" fans appeared on the red carpet of the premiere.
As male and female protagonists, Amanda Seyfried and James Franco are also enough to support the appearance of the main creative team of the crew.
Both of them are good at singing and dancing, especially Amanda Seyfried, a actress who has worked with Relativity Entertainment since childhood and can be said to be a star who has been holding up by Relativity Entertainment. She is very good at singing and has also appeared in several song and dance films before.
"Welcome, Ryan."
In the annex hall of Chiefs Stone Theater, two people who also came over Ronan shook hands one by one: "Welcome, David."
David Ellison turned to the girl who looked only twenty years old next to her and said, "Ronan, this is my sister Megan, who is also interested in developing in Hollywood."
Ronan shook hands with Megan Ellison and exchanged a few simple greetings.
Ronan, a winner in life born in Rome, also has the impression that he was once a famous female investor in Hollywood, specializing in the shooting of independent art films.
After the success of "Bomb Disposal Force" and "Hunting Ben**", Hollywood industry insiders specially gave her the title of "The Last Conscience of Film Art" for financial considerations.
Megan Ellison also insists on the investment path of independent art films. He once invested in "The Grandmaster of the Generation" by King of Sunglasses. Unlike other independent investors who are very careful in budgeting, this rich second generation often spends a lot of money on independent art films.
As a result, it is conceivable that independent art films cannot afford huge investments and cannot generate enough commercial returns. Megan Ellison's film company owes huge debts. In the end, Larry Ellison had to come forward in person to use money to settle the super pit dug by his daughter.
In some ways, Megan Ellison has also been fooled by Hollywood old fry.
What is the reason why so many well-known directors such as Thomas Anderson have been thrown into Hollywood for so many years?
Art films can be successful without just investment and film art.
She is born with money ability, and she has lost all her money long ago.
"I heard you have stabilized the situation at Disney?" Ronan asked Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison specifically: "How is the situation?"
Ryan Kavanaugh said first: "Originally we were about to get a controlling stake in Walt Disney, but the economic crisis broke out and there was something wrong with Maple Leaf Pictures' funds."
If Ronan understands his words, Maple Leaf Pictures’ main source of funding is dozens of investment institutions of Wall Street, big and small.
David Ellison continued: "The problem is not big. We have joined forces with several major shareholders. At the Disney shareholder meeting next month, Michael Eisner will definitely leave, and Roy Disney can't stop Maple Leaf Pictures Holdings Walt Disney."
Ronan smiled and said, "Then I congratulate you both in advance."
"You're welcome, Maple Leaf Pictures is for controlling Walt Disney, thank you first." Ryan Kavanaugh said: "Without relativity entertainment, we can't enter Disney."
Although Walt Disney, which has been harmed by Relativity Entertainment, is a mess, for outsiders like Maple Leaf Pictures, they would not have a chance at all if they were not messed up.
It took a few years to control Disney and then spend a while to get on track. Although it may be left behind by big front-line companies, it is countless times better than Maple Leaf Pictures to develop from scratch.
David Ellison looked at the poster of Bell and the Beast and said, "It's a pity that you have taken away the copyrights related to the live-action movies of Disney Animation Studio's classic animated feature films."
Ronan smiled: "Disney has a lot of resources, which is just a very inconspicuous point."
Even though Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison had some ideas, they were very clear that the Walt Disney civil strife has not yet ended and they are not qualified to compete with Relativity Entertainment in a short period of time.
They also heard that there are a series of live-action fairy tale movies behind Relativity Entertainment, such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, Lion King, Fantasy Forest and Little Mermaid.
Judging from the box office of "Alice in Wonderland" and the pre-sale of "Beauty and the Beast", these live-action fairy tale movies may have a high chance of success, and Relativity Entertainment has another movie series with huge output.
The live-action movie "Beauty and the Beast" was officially released, and it is still in a very consistent manner with the social environment.
In the promotion of Relativity Entertainment, Bell became a representative of feminism and new women. After all, the story of this film also looks like that: women are better than men, so women have to bear the burden of saving men.
This is of course for the sake of the audience, especially the audience group of "Beauty and the Beast" is based on women.
As for the gay characters that Disney once imposed, this "Beauty and the Beast" does not exist. The Walt Disney once went back on the path of leftist political correctness, and even the Little Mermaid is black...
"Beauty and the Beast" has achieved a highly restored animation version in terms of narrative rhythm, scene settings, line music, clothing and art, etc., and coupled with gorgeous special effects, the overall effect is fantastic and beautiful.
Especially the special effects, it can be said to be beautiful, which is not inferior to "Alice in Wonderland", and the effect of the real-3D movie is also quite outstanding.
In fact, in some singing and dancing environments, the film not only restores the classics of animated feature films, but also outperforms.
This live-action fairy tale movie is full of glory, but nothing new.
As for the depth, is it certain that fairy tale movies should use this thing?
Speaking of the depth and connotation of fairy tale movies, the audience wants to see the beauty in the dream princess dress and the handsome tall and handsome guy chatting about love in the castle with crystal chandeliers.
Then there is Emma's frequent drag shows, from blue skirts to white skirts to red cloaks to the finale yellow evening dresses, which constantly fascinated the girl's hearts.
In order to sell skirts, Relativity Entertainment is definitely crazy.
In fact, this is also consistent with the real society. Don’t just emphasize to others that you have inner beauty, because compared to external beauty, inner beauty is a more difficult thing, but dressing like a person is something that can be done with some thought.
