Today, in Hollywood, films that have been able to have a box office of over 100 million yuan in North America’s first weekend are rare. "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" has undoubtedly achieved great success in commercialization.

At Fox Building, Jim Prous looked at the young man who came back from London, England and said: "Although the "X-Men" trilogy is completed, we will still deeply explore the market value of this series."

James Murdoch stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands folded in his chest, looking at the Relativity Building not far away, looking interested: "Tell me, look."

Jim Prous immediately said: "At present, we are going to run two projects, which are the solo films of two extremely popular characters in "X-Men", namely "Wolverine" and "Magneto."

"I understand Wolverine, this is the most popular character." James Murdoch had a question: "But villains like Magneto also made independent films..."

Jim Prous said: "We intend to portray him as a good and evil person, and we can take the overall situation into consideration at every critical moment."

James Murdoch said: "I have limited knowledge of this. You are an expert and you are responsible."

Even so, Jim Prouss still reported one by one: "In addition to the X-Men series, we have multiple first-line film projects being filmed or being prepared."

James Murdoch didn't speak and seemed to care less.

Jim Prous would not think so, saying: "In the next three to four years, 20th Century Fox will have several major production film projects launched one after another. "Pharaohs and the Gods" directed by Ridley Scott and "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric" directed by Roland Emmerich are being filmed, and "Robin Hood" will be filmed soon. The production budget of these three projects will reach an average of $140 million."

James Murdoch said at this time: "With the scale of Twentieth Century Fox, only large production projects will have enough profit margins."

This is the basic rule for the survival of large Hollywood companies. Otherwise, major Hollywood companies would not continue to shoot commercial videos with a total investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and would not push the threshold for first-line production higher and higher.

Jim Prous continued: "It's not just these three, the Terminator 4, which has a production budget of up to $200 million, has basically confirmed the main creative team. There is also a disaster-type theme about the storm, which is also progressing steadily, and it is expected to invest about $150 million."

James Murdoch nodded slowly and then asked: "Will the funds be tight when operating so many top production projects at the same time?"

"It's a little nervous," Jim Prous said with a smile: "But as long as the box office can meet our minimum expectations, the financial situation of 20th Century Fox will be immediately alleviated."

James Murdoch said: "Do as you plan."

Jim Prous continued: "We are still looking for other suitable big production projects..."

James Murdoch thought of one thing: "Is there no way to "Fantastic Four"?"

"It's better not to start again for the time being." Jim Prouss was wise: "The influence of the comics is still there, and the negative impact of the first part has not dissipated."

He sighed, both a shirking responsibility and a shifting goal: "Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment did too much on Fantastic Four!"

James Murdoch said: "They are still aggressive?"

Jim Prous said: "The lawsuits about Fantastic Four and X-Men have never stopped. We can't be passive all the time, Ronan Anderson..."

"Don't act rashly." James Murdoch interrupted: "I said that I will solve Ronan Anderson's problem."

Jim Prouss no longer talks. James Murdoch has always been a very capable person. He has won many unconventional means in battles. Maybe he can really teach Ronan Anderson to be a human being.

James Murdoch finally asked: "How is Fox Online developing? Can it form a competitive relationship with Netflix?"

Jim Prous immediately suffered a bitter face, but he could only tell the truth: "In the short term, it will be difficult for Fox Online to pose a threat to Netflix. After all, Netflix has accumulated over the years and we are just starting out."

These are objective facts, and James Murdoch cannot deny that

He has done some understanding. After Ronan Anderson acquired Netflix, he has been preparing for future development in the past few years. At that time, Netflix had neither competitors nor attention. As a result, after years of content, capital, technology and users accumulated, Netflix soared into the sky, not only opening up a number of new businesses, but also forming an absolute leading advantage.

Jim Prous said: "There is one thing we must admit that Netflix streaming's sole drama has a high quality rate. In this regard, the Sand Sea Entertainment behind them has huge advantages."

James Murdoch stopped looking at the Relativity Building and said, "Don't worry, catch up step by step."

In June, Netflix Streaming Media launched a new exclusive series. After more than a year of series, there is a saying from the outside world that has gradually become popular - Netflix produces it, it must be a fine product!

Therefore, once Lao Bai, who was not a runaway, attracted countless fans of the drama as soon as he was launched.

Although the first season of "Breaking Bad" has only been launched for seven episodes, it has received unanimous praise, with Netflix streaming having a rating of up to 9.7 points!

The imdb score is also as high as 9.5 points!

The super high reputation brings continuous growth in traffic and subscription users. After Netflix Network's global registered users exceeded 100 million, the paid users exceeded 75 million in one fell swoop.

In its first week of launch, Breaking Bad added 2.7 million new paid users to Netflix.com.

Although it is not as good as the paid users of the US cable TV peak of 95 million, this is the sum of all cable TV stations. Now Netflix has grown into a new media that no one can ignore!

In order to further promote Netflix Network, Relativity Entertainment is also in cooperation negotiations with Conscart, the largest cable TV service provider in the United States, and at&t, the largest network telecommunications service provider.

Netflix Network is completely different from Hollywood companies with relatively closed industries like Relativity Entertainment. If you want to grow further, you need more partners, larger platforms, and burn more money.

To some extent, Ronan is also seeking more partners and potential allies.

The purpose of the negotiations between Relativity Entertainment and At&T and Conscart is to achieve cross-holdings between Netflix Network and these two companies to obtain more abundant network communication resources and promotion of cable TV channels.

Of course, even after cross-holding, Relativity Entertainment will still hold the absolute controlling stake of Netflix.com.

In addition, Relativity Entertainment will also become a shareholder of At&T and Conscart.

In fact, this is also conducive to increasing the risk resistance of relativity entertainment.

Because "Breaking Bad" is well received and continues to drive new users, Netflix streaming delivered the order for the new season to Shahai Entertainment a week after the series was launched.

Netflix streaming media will have sequels of new or popular dramas every month starting this year. Each drama can cause continuous hot reviews on the Internet. The exclusive drama and Netflix blast watching mode are changing the mode of audience watching dramas.

Also in early June, "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" officially entered the preliminary preparation stage after more than half a year of early planning.

This will be the most invested drama since the establishment of Relativity Entertainment, with a budget of up to 5 million US dollars in single episode shooting and production!

The cost of costume magic dramas is generally much higher than that of fashion dramas.

Even so, after many preparatory meetings, Ronan made a decision that the drama would fade the magical elements to a certain extent while ensuring the plot.

Speaking of why Peter Jackson almost cut off all the magic contents of the Lord of the Rings trilogy back then? The wizard Gandalf fought and ordered lighting, then rushed up and smashed it with a stick, and cut it with a sword. In addition to Maiya himself being good at melee combat, he was not a budget that was not enough.

In the video, what the wizard releases is not magic, but US dollars!

With a production budget of less than 300 million US dollars, what magic is needed to make such a "Lord of the Rings" trilogy?

It would be nice if Peter Jackson could give Gandalf a lighting technique.

"Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" seems to have a lot of budget of $5 million per piece, but in fact, it is difficult to shoot in Hollywood. At that time, you must go to Eastern Europe to get tax refunds and financial subsidies. Moreover, the local low labor costs are really advantageous.

The cost of hiring one person in California may be hiring five people in Central and Eastern Europe.

What about this person? He is also protected by trade unions and other organizations, and there are a lot of trouble if something goes wrong.

On the other hand, those five people may not be a minor injury or collision. Maybe there is no need for the crew to come forward, and the local government will suppress it.

There are really not too many people in Central and Eastern Europe who are considering the overall investment situation.

Ronan will control the overall situation for this series, but George Clint will be the producer. In a production plan he submitted, in order to save money, in addition to the previous matters, he also plans to find dogs like Husky to act as direwolfs.

Can Husky be competent for filming? Ronan is a little worried. Will the crew collapse if so many Husky appear in the crew?

The second generation of the Wolf family raises a husky each. After going to the battlefield, the husky always reaches a consensus with the enemy...

No wonder the wolf family was about to be destroyed at one point.

In any case, "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" is about to enter the media platform, and the Ultimate Bento King will also start a super feat that spends ten years across the Great Wall of Desperate Land to send people's heads.

Looking back at the last season, the atmosphere of the Night King's appearance was full of charm, with neatly dressed, bright armor, and carrying all the people, including all the elites of the General Staff, slowly walked slowly from the fire when they were equipped with a windbreaker and the little ghost next to him blew a fan, and the little Ma Ge would definitely be resurrected.

However, such a cool man died just after seeing the dawn of victory in the ghost world.
