1563 Mr. Five Billion
“Hey, Mr. Five Billion Dollars, congratulations on becoming the father of two children." The hearty and pungent voice echoed over the empty farm..
Renly turned around and first saw the two little guys standing not far behind him, then he saw Jessica lying at the window, and finally the bustling figures in the room. It seemed that the entire crew had temporarily put down their hands. People who were busy with things flocked to the door and windows to watch the excitement, as if dinosaurs had appeared..
Such a battle made Renly slightly surprised, because the whole room seemed so peaceful just now, and no one could be found at all, but suddenly it became lively. He took a moment to react, and then burst into laughter, " Mr. Five Billion Dollars, isn't this the slogan of the sperm donation bank?？”
sperm donation bank.
Everyone was stunned involuntarily, and then burst into laughter..
The so-called Mr. Five Billion Dollar, this is the nickname given to Renly by the media in recent times. Just like that movie, "Million Dollar Baby", Renly has a "clear price tag"”.
Although when I joined the crew, the North American box office of "Gravity" has not yet exceeded 500 million, and it is still some way off, but all experts have predicted that 500 million is a high probability event, and can even be said to be a certainty. This also means that after "Edge of Tomorrow", Renly will soon have his second consecutive North American movie to break 500 million..
Also, it's not a sequel！
This is definitely an unprecedented first time, once again refreshing people's understanding of the appeal of the North American box office. Even if it is described as groundbreaking, it is not an exaggeration..
From questioning Renly's market influence to establishing his absolute strength with two consecutive 500 million works, Renly is now a benchmark that cannot be surpassed. Even Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp can only bow down. , the momentum at its peak was far inferior to.
There has never been an actor who has shown such dominance in the North American market. It reminds people of Harrison Ford..
Harrison, who dominated the market with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" successively, although the North American box office figures did not exceed 500 million consecutively, his unparalleled influence is comparable to that of Renly today, sensationalizing the entire market and changing After that, Harrison started his thirty-year superstar career..
Now Renly's momentum is probably even worse..
It is worth mentioning that both Harrison and Renly's agents are Andy Rogers, which is particularly eye-catching. But the difference is that Harrison finally found Andy after going through several agents. , he has several agents in the Creative Artist Agency to take care of things; while Renly was pushed to the top by Andy, so the meaning is naturally different..
Despite this, major media outlets still couldn't wait to say, "Renly Hall takes over from Harrison Ford, and it takes 30 years to reincarnate. Does this mean that the North American film market is about to enter a new era?"？”
The significance of the rise of Renly is not just as simple as "500 million box office", but also that the sequel series of movies adapted from comics and novels have firmly occupied the leading role in the market. The living space of other movies is getting smaller and smaller, and now people finally see it Different possibilities, this has an enlightening effect on the entire market. Just like Harrison's emergence back then.
From "Jaws" to "Star Wars", the concept of summer movies appeared in North America and the prototype of commercial movies was also formed..
Before that, movies were always an elegant pastime, with expensive ticket prices, few theaters, and modest productions. Although the competition among Hollywood film studios was fierce, the output was still not high after all, and the audience went to the theaters. It has also become a high-end pastime once a week. The market mechanism of the entire industry has not yet fully matured..
Then Harrison Ford showed up！
“"Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" formed a relatively fixed creative model, and the commercial film model gradually evolved into a reality. It is no exaggeration to say that his works established the pattern of today's film market - for those in the industry For some, it’s Steven Spielberg and George Lucas; for the masses, it’s Harrison Ford..
Now, the commercial film market has fully matured and entered a bottleneck period. Adapted films and series of films occupy the big screen. Innovation consciousness gradually begins to fade. Assembly-line works are becoming more and more templated. The importance of copyright is rising. If there is no copyright, It seems that they have lost the opportunity. Warner Bros., Disney and Sony Columbia have taken the lead, while 20th Century Fox, Universal and Paramount are gradually being left behind..
Then Renly showed up.
So, what enlightenment can the Renly model bring to the current film market? This is something that the entire industry needs to slowly study..
Harrison and Renly, one created and the other broke, both have extraordinary historical significance. The reaction of the entire market is naturally extraordinary..
Why doesn't Universal Pictures dare to break up with Renly easily? this is the reason！
Before the release of "Gravity", Universal Pictures missed the best opportunity to negotiate. It made one wrong step and then fell into a vicious cycle. Just like Wall Street's timing, if you miss a point in time, you will have to After spending more energy to make up for their mistakes, they are now in a dilemma, and Ron Meyer is helpless..
Mr. Five Billion Dollars, this is the joking name given to Renly by the media, but it is also a respectful title. Besides James Cameron, who else in the entire North American market can have such appeal? From this we can clearly feel Renly’s unparalleled and powerful influence..
Jessica was joking on purpose, but who would have thought that Renly would interpret it in such a naughty and weird way..
Other staff on site reacted immediately and burst into laughter..
MacKenzie, who was standing at the front, didn't know why. Does 500 million have anything to do with the bank? She doesn't understand the current situation at all.
Timothy was confused and could vaguely understand, but his reaction speed was a little slower, and a big smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth..
Mackenzie raised her head and looked around, only to find that she was the only one who had been "abandoned". After blinking her eyes, she decided to take the initiative, "Jessica means, congratulations on your box office reaching 500 million! Everyone is marveling at this now! This is incredible!.”
Xiao Nizi answered in her own way, worried that Renly didn't understand what Jessica meant. Those crisp words, with a wanton growth of vitality and anger, made people involuntarily brighten up, just like... The shadow is like a sunflower facing the sun, filled with the refreshing breath of sunshine..
No wonder the elderly always like to get along with children. That kind of vitality is the sunshine that grows against the years, dispelling fear and haze, as well as illness and death. I can't help but want to get closer, get closer, and feel those things again. The lost youth seems to be able to return to those beautiful times again.
Even Renly can relate.
Renly showed a bright smile to MacKenzie, "Thank you! It's my pleasure." There was no excuse, as if he really didn't understand Jessica's words..
Facing Renly's smile, MacKenzie's cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot. Then she bit her lower lip and shook her head shyly. Her voice suddenly dropped like a mosquito whisper, and she said something vaguely, But he couldn't hear it clearly at all, and he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth..
Renly didn't press further and politely extended his right hand, "Hey, it's our first time meeting you. I'm Renly.".”
“I know I know I know! "McKenzie immediately became excited, clasped her fingers and said, "I've seen all your movies! 'Crazy in love'! 'Fighting Cancer Me'! 'Detachment'! 'fast and Furious'! 'Edge of Tomorrow'! Also, there is 'buried alive'! "Xiao Nizi really just counted each one in detail like this..
The smile in Renly's eyes rolled slightly, "This is not good." MacKenzie was slightly stunned, not knowing why, tilting her little head and looking at Renly intently, and then heard the follow-up explanation, "My Many works are rated R. Does this mean that you secretly do bad things without telling adults?？”
this……
There seems to be something wrong with the circuitry in this brain, right?？
“Oh." Mackenzie suddenly wailed, covering her cheeks in depression, unable to raise her head in shame - why was Renly's focus different from what he imagined?？
Renly couldn't help laughing, and then said, "You haven't introduced yourself yet. If you tell me your name now, then I will keep this secret.".”
Mackenzie immediately put down her hands, her big eyes filled with joy and excitement. She looked at Renly in disbelief. She weighed the truth and falsehood for a moment, and then spoke impatiently. However, she was beaten by her own words because she was too excited. I choked on my saliva, "Ahem...Mai...MacKenzie! My name is MacKenzie！”
“Nice to meet you, MacKenzie! "Renly stretched out his right hand again - Xiaonizi was completely immersed in her own world just now and didn't even notice Renly's handshake. He once again made a formal greeting..
This time, MacKenzie didn’t miss it.
Xiao Nizi straightened her back, quickly stretched out her hand to hold Renly's right hand, shook it once, and nodded vigorously! Then hold it again! There was a weird smile on his face, and when he was about to let go, he shook his hand a third time. Like a little adult, he nodded solemnly and showed a meaningful polite expression, as if he was imitating himself. Scenes that parents or themselves have seen：
“Nice to meet you! Very very nice to meet you! Mr. Hall! It's really an honor to know you！”
MacKenzie said in a rough voice on purpose, as if this would make her movements and voice more formal. Her lifelike appearance of a little adult really made people laugh. The smile naturally climbed up to the corner of her mouth, and her mood was like The afternoon sun shines brightly.
