Fans Give Mixed Reactions For Possible Think Like a Man Sequel

It's no small feat to trump a movie like Hunger Games that was No. 1 at the box office for four consecutive weeks, but Think Like a Man based on Steve Harvey's New York Times best-selling book—giving women advice on achieving a lasting relationship—Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, did it not once, but twice.The mostly African American ensemble cast including Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy and Kevin Hart has grossed over $80 million at the box office (it cost $12 million to make) since the movie's debut in April, and rumors of a Think Like a Man sequel have some fans screaming “YES” louder than Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, and others shaking their heads.“Nope, nope,” says Marcie, 32, from Ohio, (who preferred not to use her last name) in response to a possible Think Like a Man sequel. “That's christian louboutin replica one of those movies you don't touch, leave it alone. That movie captured real life feelings about relationships; you don't make a part two.”However Marcie, who read Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and Harvey's 2010 follow-up Straight Talk, No Chaser, admitted she would go see the sequel if there was one, but thinks it wouldn't be as good as the original movie.A sentiment shared by film critic Shawn Edwards—who described the movie as “a 90-minute infomercial for Steve Harvey's book, but it's also incredibly likeable”—says a Think Like a Man sequel could lead to a string of copy cat versions of the romcom's genre, which could water down the movie's original message.“Yes, you want to see more African American comedies, but you don't want just everyone to do it,” Edwards explains. “[With the] Blaxploitation [movie] era every Dick and Harry was doing them, which ran the genre into the ground.“John Singleton made Boyz n the Hood; soon we had Menace II Society… [The movies] weren't all done in the same manner. Think Like a Man was successful, but it has to be done with skill, supported in the same way, marketed correctly.”Kevin Dwayne, 26, from California, says the marketing for Think Like a Man is what sets it apart from other African American movies.“They marketed a little more to be universal, a balanced cast,” Dwayne tells Regal. “It was a movie all audiences can watch. If I went with my friends that are Caucasian they wouldn't have to ask, ‘what did that term mean?'”Unlike most African American romantic comedies that feature mostly Black couples, Think Like a Man includes an interracial couple, and the band of guys was also made up of comedian Gary Owen best known for his role as Zach on the TV series “House of Payne” and Jerry Ferrara, who starred on the HBO series “Entourage.”A refreshing take for a genre that is usually not diverse, but the premise is lacking in originality says Dwayne.“There have been plenty of movies like this,” says Dwayne, who cites New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day as examples. “If more movies go with this formula I wouldn't mind it,” he adds.Some moviegoers also wouldn't mind a sequel according to an opinion poll by Atlanta radio personality Russ Parr to see if there should be a Think Like a Man sequel. Nearly 70 percent of moviegoers voted yes and 39 polled no to a second movie on Parr's website.“I would see a [Think Like a Man] sequel,” says Dwayne. “[But,] there is anxiety about sequels because it may get overzealous. I would support it in the vein of the first movie. See how the characters progress since the first one.”Screen Gems, a subsidiary company of Sony Pictures that produced Think Like a Man, has yet to formally announce a Think Like a Man sequel and Will Packer, the movie's producer, is also mum.However, Humor Mill magazine reported that a sequel is in the works that will explore marriage.Reinforcing the rumors is Tony Rock, a comedian that had a cameo in the movie. He told a Houston radio station that the cast has signed on for a Think Like a Man sequel.If so, it will be the second African American romance sequel that will be splashed cheap oakleys across the big screen.It was revealed last year that Universal Studios is priming for a sequel to the popular 1999 romcom The Best Man that grossed $35 million.“When a movie like Think Like a Man comes out audiences flock to theaters,” Gina Prince Bythewood, writer and director of Love and Basketball, told CNN. “There's a huge audience out there, starved for content.”Edwards believes the only way to fill it is to focus less on a Think Like a Man sequel and more on original storytelling.“Leave [Think Like a Man] as a classic, a standalone classic,” he says. “New material fits in that same genre tory burch outlet. There are other stories that need to be told christian louboutin sale.”

Fans As the Lifeline of the Music Industry

The music industry, otherwise known as the music business, is a complex system that is involved in the selling of music -- whether it be a composition, recording or a live performance. Individuals and organizations that form part of the music industry include everyone involved in this complex business from composers, recording artists, talent managers, record producers, recording companies, recording engineers to music stores, music retailers, etc.The music business can be a very lucrative business, involving cash flow amounting to millions and even billions of dollars. It is not surprising that the music industry all over the world is getting larger and larger, with more and more people wanting to get involved in the system.Essentially, cash is earned whenever a music composition, recording or live performance is sold to a consumer. So how does this system operate? How does cash flow from the fan to the recording artist? Let's take for example the case of American singer-composer, Jason Desrouleaux, more popularly known as Jason Derulo.Whenever Jason Derulo writes a song, he sells the copyright of his composition to an interested publishing company. The publishing company then promotes the use of the composition in television or movies.A recording artist like him may also create a recording using the composition, with the help of a recording engineer and a recording producer in a recording studio. Several recordings or singles are released as an album. The records or albums are owned by a recording company such as Warner Bros. Records. It is the recording company which is responsible for enabling the recording process, promoting cheap oakleys the record, manufacturing the physical media for the recording, distributing the record and marketing it. The record or album is then sold in music stores.Every time a record or album is sold, the music store or music retailer pays the record company. The record company consequently pays the recording artist in the form of royalties or percentage from the sales. The record company also pays the publishing company, which in turn, pays the composer.The flow of the good, which is the record or album from the composer/recording artist to the consumer and the flow of tory burch outlet cash from the consumer back to the composer/recording artist is indeed complicated. Majority of the consumers of these goods are the supporters or fans (short for fanatics) of the recording artist christian louboutin sale and less commonly, of the composer or the composition itself. This means that the success of the music industry is highly dependent on the buying behavior of the fans. If fans do not buy the goods, the music business can fall apart.With this in mind, recording companies naturally go to great extent to promote their recording artists just as they promote the records or albums they own. Recording artists go on promotional tours, television guestings and shows in an effort to advertise themselves to potential consumers and gain the support of fans. They may also put up facebook pages, their own websites or offer downloadable pictures and wallpapers to get their fans hooked and to urge fake oakley sunglasses them to buy their records. For instance, Jason Derulo wallpaper and pictures are available for public use. These are just some of the popular means by which recording artists try to expand their fan base and hopefully, their market value as well.It is therefore not just for fame that recording artists take care of their fans and encourage more to join. For indeed, the fan base is their lifeline in the music industry.
