Best Movie Star

With the end of the North American screening of "The Hunger Games", Studio Thirteen immediately released the disc. The disc is divided into two types, one is a regular DVD set, priced at $19.9; the other is a Blu-ray Disc Deluxe set, priced at Divided into two grades up to $39.9 and $99.9.

As we all know, the cost of large-scale compaction of optical discs is very low.

Even the cost of suppressing the disc itself is not comparable to the cost of distributing goods across the United States.

In the case of large-scale suppression, the production cost of a disc will not exceed 5% of the retail price.

The most common DVD version of The Hunger Games, on average, costs less than a dollar to make.

Of course, the cost of optical discs cannot be calculated in this way. The costs of warehousing, distribution and publicity are indispensable, as well as the profits left to the merchants.

Taking all of this into account, the average single cost of the regular DVD version is around five dollars, and the deluxe set costs a little more due to the addition of some small souvenirs such as Mockingjay brooches, at seven dollars and fifteen dollars respectively. up and down.

It can be said that the profit margin of movie discs is much higher than the box office.

Therefore, it was only 2o1o years ago that Hollywood lived on the disc.

Although since 2oo8, with the popularity of online downloads and rentals, optical discs have been severely hit, but they can still provide Hollywood with a lot of profits.

The "Hunger Games" CD sold 3.2 million copies in its first week of release in North America.

Although this is not as easy as the sales of more than 500,000 in the previous year's popular movie disc week, it is also the best single-movie single-week disc sales in 2012.

Ten days after its launch, the sales of "The Hunger Games" on discs exceeded 4.5 million copies.

Then, just like the box office of the released movie, CD sales plummeted, and only a hundred thousand copies were sold in a single week.

By mid-August, The Hunger Games had sold more than $101,000,000 on disc sales in North America.

At the same time, Bella Anderson has also settled some licensing negotiations.

On the Internet side, the online on-demand and rental rights of "The Hunger Games" were sold to Netflix for seven years and $1.5 million; the public television broadcast rights were handed over to Disney's abc television station for seven years and $1.4 million.

In addition, some negotiations are still in progress, and more income from peripheral copyrights will be obtained in the future.

Even if it's not a sequel, the film will bring Matthew a lot of money.

In contrast, "The Avengers" continues to harvest the box office in major theaters in North America, but after three and a half months of screening, the film's North American box office growth has been very slow.

Matthew accounted for 40% of the film's investment and income ratio, and naturally he has been paying attention to the latest developments.

"The Avengers" has accumulated a total of 621.5 million US dollars at the North American box office, becoming the third film to surpass the US$600 million mark at the North American box office after "Titanic" and "Avatar".

The global box office also rushed to the third place in history, and it has now harvested 1.4895 billion US dollars around the world, and the more 1.5 billion US dollars is just around the corner.

The success of the investment again and again has made Matthew more aware that an investor like him who is qualified to enter the market must focus on investing in popular types of films.

In recent years, it is not that no independent film producer or director has come to him with a project, and there are also some literary and artistic films that have heard the name before, but he rejected them all without exception.

Maybe there will be a lot of classics in these films. Even if the box office is not very good, through awards and offline operations, it will be profitable in five or six years or ten years.

But in the face of easy-to-profit projects, the time cost will be infinitely magnified here.

Besides, his perception of movies has not changed.

It's not that there are no directors and producers who accuse him of being an investor who only sees profit and has no film art, and even scolded the audience for being vulgar and ignorant of appreciation after losing at the box office.

But with billions of moviegoers on the planet, why should the majority pay for the preferences of the few?

To put it bluntly, a small group of filmmakers, just entertaining themselves with those who support them, and forcing them to stand up and make other audiences pay for it, are more annoying than those bad film directors.

The film exhibition has now become a variety of art, and it is the real good film that can make most audiences understand the ideas and art that the film wants to express

Perhaps when living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it was just a relationship with ordinary moviegoers. Matthew has always believed that what the audience likes is not necessarily a good movie, but a good movie must be liked by the vast majority of audiences.

Your works are not friendly to the audience, and the audience has to pay for your persistence. Does the audience have to be so cheap?

This is what happened to Matthew's partners.

The film "Host" based on Stephanie Meyer's novel has long been released, but it suffered a double fiasco at the box office and word of mouth.

The production company originally wanted to borrow the name of the "Twilight" series to create another popular youth film series.

At the beginning, Stephanie Meyer approached Matthew and expressed her ambition to adapt the trilogy. After being rejected by Matthew, Kailu Company won the copyright of "Host" at a high price, and also invited the screenwriter of "The Truman World" And "Time Planning Bureau" director Andrew - Nickel to be the director.

It's just that the film is not only not as successful as the "Twilight" series, but also fails a bit miserably.

The production cost of "Host" is as high as 4.5 million US dollars, and it only received more than 2.5 million US dollars at the box office from North America. This film wants to make money like the "Twilight" series, but it wants to be different, so it is full of Literary Fan.

The result is that business is not commercial, literature and art are not literature and art, and both sides are not flattering.

The audience didn't buy it, as can be seen from the box office, even the film critics didn't like the film.

The Host's Rotten Tomatoes score is an astounding nine percent.

It is also a novel adaptation of Stephanie Meyer. The fate of the "Twilight Saga" series and "Host" are diametrically opposed. Stephanie Meyer has gradually been treated coldly by Hollywood since the release of "Host". Many Hollywood companies It is concluded that the success of the "Twilight" series is because the investor and producer is Matthew Horner.

Over time, Matthew's filming on "The Martian" came to a close.

As before, the rest is Mark Watney's one-man show.

"I didn't expect that so many years would pass in a blink of an eye."

In the set where potatoes were planted in advance, Ridley-Scott stood between several potatoes and said to Matthew, "I still remember the first time I saw you, Helen took you, You are unreasonably strong, like a living barbarian."

Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help laughing, "That's why you agreed with me to play that barbarian leader?"

Ridley-Scott didn't answer directly, but said, "You've improved a lot, and you've improved very quickly." He lowered his glasses, "I still remember when you were filming Black Hawk Down, you acted in action scenes. It's easy, but it's always a little hard to act in a drama."

"What now?" Matthew asked.

Ridley Scott didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "You performed very well in Mark Watney's several one-man shows, especially on the spot.

Matthew touched his head, "Is it that good?"

"I believe that after this film is released," Ridley-Scott said seriously, "you will become a recognized acting school."

He looked back at the camera that was set up, and said, "Matthew, the last scene is over, stay in shape."

Matthew nodded slightly, "No problem."

Ridley-Scott walked off the set, returned to the director's monitor, and after a brief questioning, announced the start of filming.

The crew entered the state in an instant, and Matthew was no exception. He hung a camera on the wall, with the potato field as the background, while debugging the camera, he said, "The NASA can talk to me, they won't shut up, they want to live Every system in the cabin is constantly being upgraded.”

He gradually adjusted the camera, pretending to be deep and saying, "Why is this? Because they want to see my potato field. Well, I'll give them their request and let them micro-manage my crops as much as possible! "

Matthew walked back to the potato field, a little excited, and continued, "How is it? Great, right? These are potatoes grown with Watney's Martian fertilizer! I can declare that they are epoch-making!"

Crouching down, Matthew pulled out a potato, pointed to a large bunch of potatoes hanging on the root, and said, "See? It's already ripe, let me tell you something, I ate it yesterday! I've achieved a great deal. The achievement, the first person in ancient and modern contacts! What? What achievements are you talking about? Well, let me tell you, I am the first person in all human beings to eat Mars potatoes, and I am currently the only one."

A lonely person, after being able to connect with his compatriots, is destined to become a chatter, Matthew picked potatoes one by one and put them into the bucket next to him, "Listen, I don't want to express arrogance, but I'm the greatest botanist on Mars! So, it's an amazing achievement."

After Matthew finished picking potatoes, he pulled out another one and continued his work. "There is another advantage to being able to contact NASA. I can receive emails. I have received a lot of letters, and the coolest one is from Chicago. University, my alma mater."

He looks at the camera~www.readwn.com~ They say that once you grow a plant in a place, you officially start 'colonizing'. So, technically, I'm still a Martian colonist right now. "

Saying that, Matthew also made a poss.

Behind the director's monitor, Ridley-Scott nodded with satisfaction, "Stop! This one is over!"

Matthew threw away the potatoes in his hand, took the wet towel and wiped his hands, and the scenes about the actor Mark Watney were all filmed.

However, the filming of the crew will continue for about 20 days, and then Ridley-Scott will lead the crew to Budapest.

Matthew is not going to Europe with the crew, he still has a lot of work to do in North America. ...
