If there were an Oscar for most consistently profitable Hollywood studio, it probably would go to 20th Century Fox. Hollywood is a hit-driven business, and most studios bounce from box-office hit to dud with depressing regularity. But for the past seven years, Fox has scored with both blockbusters (Alvin and the Chipmunks) and indie hits (Juno) that have generated the kind of double-digit return on investment you might expect from a business making widget’ s, not films. Tom Pollick, a former Universal Pictures chairman who produces movies for Fox and other studios, says. "Fox is simply the best-run studio in town. "
You were expecting anything less from Rupert Murdoch’s guys At Fox, the mantra is "to be creatively driven but fiscally astute," says James N. Gianopulos, who co-chairs the studio with Thomas Rothman of Fox Filmed Entertainment. Translation. to be almost pathologically obsessed with costs. Not that the co-chairs run from risk. They outbid most of Hollywood in 2004 for the script to the apocalyptic The Day After Tomorrow, but made it for $100 million, relatively cheap for a special-effects picture. It grossed more than half a billion dollars worldwide.
Double-digit profits are rare in Hollywood. Yet for the past six years, Fox has delivered 12% to 18% operating margins. Halfway through its fiscal year, it earned operating income of $ 765 million on nearly $ 3.6 billion in revenues—a 21.5% operating margin. And that doesn’t include Horton Hears a Who!, which grossed a hefty $ 45 million on its Mar. 14 opening weekend and was made for just over $ 85 million, nearly half what an animated Pixar Animation Studios film costs.
"No one in Hollywood negotiates tougher than these guys," says producer John Davis, who made I, Robot and Carfield: A Tale of Two Kitties for Fox. The hardballing starts with development, which Davis says typically costs Fox 10% to 15% less than usual because it holds the line on costly rewrites. On top of that, Fox rarely gives anyone but the biggies— Steven Spielberg, say—a piece of the profits. It also sets tough budgets and sticks with them. For his Lord of the Rings-esque Eragon, Davis had a $100 million budget, which forced him to cut some special effects and limit stars such as John Malkovich to cameos. It earned just $ 75 million domestically but did well globally.
Special effects often eat up an action film’s budget. Not at Fox. The studio learned its lesson 10 yeas ago with Titanic, which cost Fox and Paramount Pictures a then-unthinkable $ 200 million to make. After Titanic, Fox hired an in-house effects czar, whose main job is riding herd on special effects houses, often playing them against each other to get the best price. "They beat you over the head," says X-Men producer Avi Arad. "If it costs $ 30 million, they’ll ask why it can’t cost $ 20 million. " To keep downtime to a minimum, Arad used several shops on Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Fox’s biggest hits are its smallest films. Peter Rice runs the studio’s independent unit, Fox Searchlight Pictures, which is in the business of finding tiny films, like Little Miss Sunshine, that were made on a shoestring. Rice’s limit: $15 million. His latest triumph: Juno. It cost $ 7. 5 million to produce and pulled in $135 million-plus in the U. S. alone.
Which brings us to marketing, an expense that has been known to account for one-third of a film’s overall budget. While executives say they pay full freight for ads on Foxe’s farflung global properties, their stars pop up all over. Samudl L. Jackson, who starred in the flick Jumper, walked the carpet at the Super Bowl on the Fox Network. And wasn’t that Jim Carrey, who provided Horton’s voice, recently grinning insanely in the audience of Fox’s megahit American Idol
Fox has stumbled before. Its 2005 picture Kingdom of Heaven bombed in the U. S and cost a very unFoxlike $130 million to make. But even then, Fox turned things around. It had loaded the film with international stars, including Orlando Bloom, so it made enough outside the U.S. to break even.

What are the hardballing measures in Foxes control of its costs in making films

题型:填空题

In homes and workplaces around the world it’s hard to find someone who is not celebrating the imminent arrival of football’s World Cup, except for many green activists who are concerned about the environmental impact of the gathering of football’s global tribe.
(41) ______. Even allowing for the fact the study included the impact of transport to and from the World Cup, which Germany didn’t, it still represents a hefty carbon footprint.
In response, the South African authorities have initiated substantial offsetting programs including urban tree-planting, but for local environmental activists that’s not enough.
"Once carbon is produced, claiming that offsetting is ’neutralizing’ the carbon footprint is nothing more than ’greenwash’," Bobby Peek, Friends of the Earth South Africa, told CNN. "Sadly, Friends of the Earth South Africa believes nothing can be done to lessen the carbon footprint, despite the reassurances made by the various cities. "
(42) ______.
"In Durban the construction of an entirely new stadium was not necessary considering that there were two stadiums along side each other which could have been redeveloped rather than one completely demolished to make way for a new construction," he said. "Thus the ’savings made’ were negated by the need for virgin cement. The cement industry is one of the main producers of CO2. For every ton of cement there is one ton of carbon produced. "
(43) ______.
"I think South Africa has missed a trick in not seeking, of its own volition, to host the first ’carbon neutral’ mega-event," Anton Cartwright, co-founder of Promoting Access to Carbon Equity told CNN.
"It would have cost them about $ 25 million had they mobilized a national effort, but this did not happen. Had South Africa spent this money, they would have secured the event’s legacy and kick-started South Africa’s renewable energy and energy efficient sector, and I am not sure there is enough public awareness or political leadership on this issue in South Africa to appreciate quite what an opportunity has been passed up."
(44) ______.
"For the department and South Africa, this is a milestone along the country’s sustainable development growth path," Albi Modise, South African Department of Environmental Affairs, told CNN.
He says that while resources have been tight, there have been 200,000 trees planted in Johannesburg as part of a carbon-offsetting program, 25,000 in Rustenberg, 86,000 in Durban, and a target of 400,000 in Tshwane/Pretoria.
There have also been carbon reduction projects focusing on energy efficiency in street lighting in Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Tshwane, Rustenburg, Polokwane and Port Elizabeth.
Some activists concede there may be some indirect environmental benefits from the World Cup. "(45) ______. In the City of Cape Town transport accounts for almost 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and efforts to reduce this are important. The other important legacy is public awareness— awareness is a prerequisite for the solutions that we so badly need, and what has been most lacking. " said Cartwright.
[A] Peek also claims that there have been unnecessary construction projects using thousands of tons of concrete—one of the most carbon-intensive industries.
[B] Others believe the World Cup is a lost opportunity for South Africa to be a world leader in making sport greener.
[C] One of the most positive legacies will probably come about inadvertently in the form of improved public transport and the bus-rapid-transport system specifically.
[D] Money has been passed from FIFA to national government to host cities, and at the local level not enough is being done in spite of a few brave but small exceptions. Host city efforts have been variable, with a general over-reliance on tree planting.
[E] However, the South African authorities remain adamant they have done all they can with the resources available, although, there is always room for improvement and learning from past mistakes.
[F] A study conducted by the Norwegian government on behalf of the South African authorities estimates the 2010 competition will have a carbon footprint 6 times the size of the last World Cup in Germany.
[G] Cartwright admits that some host cities, most notably Durban and Cape Town, have tried to initiate projects, but says in general it has been left too late.
