MTL - Best of Hollywood-Chapter 50 Overseas distribution rights

""Chain Saw" won the championship again. In the last four days of the summer vacation, it earned 13.85 million US dollars at the box office, and won the first weekly box office championship..."

"The dark horse in the summer season continues to show its power, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 30 million US dollars, which is close to the estimated box office of 50 million US dollars."

Yes, many media and investigation agencies believe that the box office of "Chain Saw" will be around 50 million US dollars.

It is almost the same as the box office results achieved by "Chain Saw" in the previous life.

Even so, Ryan and Fox Searchlight Pictures will still usher in a feast of countless dollars.

Even with only $50 million at the box office, Ryan can still earn tens of millions of dollars.

This is not counting the distribution rights of offline videotapes, the first-round broadcast rights of TV stations, etc. The income from peripheral copyrights is sometimes higher than the box office income.

However, some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad.

Colette Singer, one of the managers of 20th Century Fox's distribution division

At this moment, I can't wait to throw the newspaper on the table into the trash can.

"Saw was supposed to be mine, **** Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight."

At the mention of Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight, he gritted his teeth and wanted to go berserk.

If it weren't for Nancy Utley's intervention, and the Fox Searchlight Pictures that has not yet officially listed, "Saw" would have already been in his pocket.

However, he can't take revenge, or even show dissatisfaction. Fox Searchlight Pictures is not only a wholly-owned subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, but also has the support of the new CEO Tom Rothman, which must not be underestimated.

What annoys him the most is that Fox Searchlight Pictures is now an empty shell, and almost everything related to the release and promotion of "Saw" is done by the 20th Century Fox distribution department.

Even, he just finished contacting the printing company, and temporarily printed out 500 copies of the movie.

Let's put it this way, for Colette Singer these few days have been the darkest moments in his life, and he can't wait to curse "Saw" to the street.

In doing so, he would have an excuse to make Nancy-Utley and Fox Searchlight, forever, a paper company.

However, the facts in front of him told him that the box office of "Saw" may not be as good as "The Blair Witch", but it is still very dazzling, and the final box office is definitely more than 50 million US dollars.

Moreover, based on his understanding of the young director, "Chain Saw" is definitely not the end, maybe it's just the beginning.

Next, there will be a series of "Chain Saw" appearing.

"Maybe I should meet Ryan Gosling." Colette Singer calmed down and couldn't help but want to see Ryan.

Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight Pictures have only North American distribution channels, and they still rely on 20th Century Fox channels, and have no global distribution network at all.

In fact, 20th Century Fox executives never thought of letting Fox Searchlight Pictures establish a global distribution department.

In other words, the overseas distribution rights of "Saw" are still in the hands of Ryan, which is not a small piece of cake, and Colette-Singer naturally cannot remain indifferent.

Such a colleague, there is another person with surprise, anger, and disbelief on his face.

Michael Ovitz, the controller of caa, looked coldly, scanning the crowd below, and finally set his sights on one person.

"Since the establishment of CAA, there has never been such a major mistake. First, I missed "The Blair Witch", and then I missed "Chain Saw", which is currently being screened. Can any of you tell me why this happened!"

Under his stern gaze, no one dared to make a sound.

"Kate, I need you to tell me why you kicked Ryan Gosling out of the company!"

"I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."

Michael Ovitz was angry not only at the loss of two films, but at being kicked out of what was already at his fingertips.

He has long been looking for suitable projects to promote packaged services, and has since completely changed his identity and become a member of the most upstream of Hollywood links.

The most critical success or failure of packaged services lies in a director who can continue to succeed.

However, such a plan that has not yet been implemented was destroyed by someone, and he was still a member of CAA.

Facing the sudden anger, Kate couldn't believe her ears.

"The Blair Witch", the North American box office exceeded 100 million, and the global box office reached more than 200 million US dollars.

"Chain Saw", just over a week after its release, has made tens of millions of dollars at the box office. It is conceivable that there will be more box office in the future.

However, one young director who has achieved such results is Ryan Gosling, a name he has long forgotten, whom he kicked off a few months ago.

That good-for-nothing guy who was only delusional, even the little guy who was kicked out of the crew, turned himself into a hot director in Hollywood.

"I don't care what method you use, you must get Ryan Gosling back to me, remember this is a must. UU Read www.uukanshu.com"

"Otherwise, get out of CAA, no, get out of Hollywood, I don't want to see you idiot again."

"Just because of you idiot, do you know how much loss you have brought to the company!" Michael Ovitz almost vented his anger.

In fact, as soon as he got the news, he wanted to strangle Kate to death, and even had the idea of ​​blocking "Chain Saw".

However, such an irrational idea is just a flash. "Chain Saw" is the first film released by Fox Searchlight Pictures. Fox, you have to go crazy.

For a while, he didn't even know how to get out of the conference room, and his expression was in a trance. It was only then that he slowly realized that he had already deleted the contact information of Ryan Gosling.

"Michael Ovitz!"

"Damn old bastard, I have to give you a good look sooner or later."

"And that Ryan Gosling, just got **** luck."

As for how to contact Ryan Gosling, he has no idea, maybe he can only pray to God.

With the passage of time and the arrival of the autumn file, the box office of "Chain Saw" will inevitably decline. Even if the theater companies continue to increase the number of screens, it is still difficult to change the status quo.

If the spring file is the off-season for the North American box office, then the autumn file is a harsh winter.

It is true that spring is the off-season for the box office, but commercial blockbusters are often released. Almost every few years, there will be a film in North America that exceeds 100 million yuan.

The autumn file is completely different. There has never been a commercial blockbuster, and the box office of over 100 million is an unattainable figure.
