"As of December 26, 2008, the total box office in North America for the whole year was $9.179 billion.
Compared with the year-end results of all the six major film companies in 2007, only four of them have grossed more than $1 billion in 2008...
Peak Entertainment and legend, the other two are Disney and twentieth Century Fawkes... "
In the conference room, Andy Smith held the first new year's meeting of all the management after he became the owner of Universal Pictures, and listened to the summary report of 2008.
It has to be said that compared with 2007, the performance of Hollywood film industry in 2008 has declined to a certain extent. Both the total year-end performance and the number of films over 100 million are not as good as last year. What's more, the overseas box office is shrinking.
The six major film companies represent the trend of Hollywood's mainstream films. In 2008, except that Sony released the same number of films as last year, several others dropped to different degrees.
In fact, the results in 2008 are still excellent. After all, under the influence of the strike of the Hollywood writers association and the outbreak of the financial crisis at the end of 2007, Hollywood has experienced the great decline after the summer vacation and the recession of Christmas archives, and it is not easy to keep the total box office performance ranking the second in history.
Andy looks at the form in his hand. In 2007, the global comparison, the box office Oscar double harvest, and five films with a local box office of more than 100 million, ranked first among the six companies.
In 2008, the small-cost films did well, but because there was no such annual box office squib as "fake god 2" and "Golden Compass", although there was no dazzling blockbuster, it still kept a certain market share at the same level as last year.
In 2008, there were no 200 million works under the global film industry. Thanks to Mei Yi's elaborate performance, Mamma Mia, the local box office was in full swing, and the overseas box office was as high as 430 million, with the posture of catching up with the dark knight.
But magic Hulk is the most ironic failure movie of the year. Before the release of the old Hulk, he repeatedly suppressed and ridiculed the old Hulk, but the final box office was unsatisfactory and the loss was not small.
Well, Andy almost has to spit out blood. He used to share the risk and asked universal pictures to help Marvel film. Now, he has made a hole in himself...
By the end of 2008, global pictures had only four films worth more than 100 million. Considering the number of films worth more than 100 million in 2007, other companies were envious of it, but now it's just nobody.
Andy looks at Rob Freeman, who has taken over as the CEO of global film industry. He is in a good mood. After all, his peak entertainment film industry is very competitive, stepping on four of the six big and medium-sized companies.
The rise of pinnacle entertainment really shocked Hollywood. You should know that this doesn't include several major productions that have been filmed and delayed to be released in 2009, such as "Superman for all", "Twilight city", "speed and passion 4", and those that are in the process of shooting, no matter which one can easily make a local box office of more than 100 million.
You know, when the management of Universal Pictures saw rob freiman's 2009 Peak Entertainment release schedule, they were all dumbfounded. There were 12 films, three times the plan of Universal Pictures.
It's also a great honor and joy when people exclaim that Summit Entertainment has become a rising trend. After all, Summit Entertainment has become a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. In terms of distribution, universal pictures will also share a large piece of cake.
Andy believes that this year will surely surpass last year, create a new historical record of global film industry and help Hollywood hit the $10 billion mark!
"It's not good to have only four films on this year!" Andy looked at the project plan, closed the folder with an ugly frown, and threw it on the conference table.
"Two billion dollars! Excluding peak entertainment, this is the lowest standard global film industry will reach this year. "
Hearing the big boss's request, all the people in the conference room unconsciously have a black line on their forehead, and their hearts are bitter and speechless.
Adam Ferguson opened his mouth to say something, but saw rob freiman on the opposite side blinked a few times, shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." In the meeting room, it was very quiet and the breath was clear and audible. At this time, Robert freiman said with a smile and immediately attracted everyone's eyes.
"But, boss, do you think you can get some scripts from Mockingbird copyright company?"
"Ha ha, you are easy. OK, I will ask Carl to send the script of hangover... In this way, "red flame battlefield" and "frightening demons and robbers group" let him take them together. " Andy said to rob Freeman with a smile.
Rob and Carl get along well. From him, he knows that his boss has written several scripts and read the script outline, so he knows that those scripts are very good stories.
To be honest, the script of big boss has solved a lot of problems for rob. Since he took over as CEO of global pictures, he has spent a lot of time looking at the script outline besides being familiar with the personnel issues of various departments.Universal Pictures has been running a set of 7-page story sketches submitted by the creative team to the decision-making level. Only projects approved by the decision-making level can be further developed until the final script is confirmed. The process of some projects may take up to two years.
Although it's safe, the project approval cycle of a movie is too long and troublesome. It doesn't have his freedom at the peak of entertainment. Of course, the six Hollywood metropolises have their own unique screening mechanism. Rob freiman, who used to work in paramount, is no stranger. He has also changed his thinking very well. After all, now he is in charge of the global film industry and management The way the new company works is different.
However, the re change of ownership of Universal Pictures has inevitably caused some internal turmoil and confusion. The change of senior management and the ownership of new teams naturally take time to break in. This is not something that can be solved overnight. No matter when, people are the biggest problem.
Project development has always been the top priority of the film companies. The production management department is also in a very important position in the global film industry system. In order to make the global film industry on the right track as soon as possible, Robert freiman, the CEO, personally served as the general director of this department. In just one month, he has personally reviewed more than 200 projects.
The production department is very important and powerful in the structure of a film company. From the earliest stage of script development, it will be involved in the project. From shooting to post production, most of the discourse power is controlled by the production management department, which also requires the production department to be highly professional, develop standard production process, and be sensitive to the market Control and judge accurately.
Robert Freeman has already responded to Andy's problems and difficulties. Today's meeting is also a platform that Andy gave to his subordinates to solve the problems. The easiest way to solve this problem is to build a brilliant "green light committee" running in Summit Entertainment and marvel film industry.
"In order to ensure that the annual production of films reaches 15-17, the development department with only 10 people needs to have extremely high working efficiency and accurate judgment, and the number of projects that need to be reserved every year is increased to 400, which is also an important guarantee for universal to have strong vitality and competitiveness.
In order to shorten the project approval cycle of high-quality projects, the company will establish a film project risk assessment and control system composed of planning department, production department, financial department, Global Distribution Department, Derivative Development Department, legal department, etc., namely the "green light committee".
For a high-quality project, we can make prediction and financial trial calculation model for each link, form data and submit it to the green light Committee, ensure that the profit return index of more than 15% can be achieved, and then the project can be approved immediately. "
Andy looks around the meeting room with a serious face. He has a clear voice to make decisions. It's a good thing to have a talk. There's no need to discuss. He's a big boss who can make decisions.
"The creation and production of films is not a game. We can't give up halfway or have doubts. Only through the commitment and input of every staff member to films and the adjustment, compromise and quarrel experienced in every link, can we run in an increasingly perfect team.
The turmoil has ended, NBC Universal has become my asset, and its future will only be brighter. I hope you will seize this opportunity and witness the new glory of global film industry with me! "
"Pa Pa Pa --"
there was a warm applause in the conference room. No matter what I thought, the declaration of the big boss was very uplifting. The green light committee is nothing new. Universal Pictures had it before, but it didn't come to an end. Because of the continuous turbulence, the management was determined to be stable and didn't dare to take risks.
Now start the green light again, maybe it will usher in a new round of growth!
