Chapter 540

DreamWorks group.

As one of the three giants of DreamWorks, Spielberg is talking with Michael Bay in his office today. No, to be exact, he is comforting his old friend.

"Michael, don't worry too much about the box office trend of Pearl Harbor. In fact, the dozens of minutes of explosions in the film are still recognized by many fans." Spielberg exhorted.

Michael Bay grinned bitterly and shook his head. "I know, but I'm still not convinced."

"You mean..." Spielberg frowned.

"That's right!"

Michael Bay said in a deep voice: "I mean those unruly, unruly media reporters, and the critics who are all over the place《 Before the release of Pearl Harbor, they all said: Hey, look at Michael Bay. Besides explosion, explosion, explosion, explosion, will he order anything else? I can't play art movies at all

"Now, pearl harbor is almost two weeks away."

"They said," Hey, look at Michael Bay. He really can only play with explosion, explosion and explosion. As for the literary and artistic connotation of height, he can't do it at all. "

The voice fell.

"How many years have you been a director?" Spielberg said coldly. "Don't you know the pee of the media and critics? Whether it's a commercial film or an art film, they have 10000 ways to find fault as long as they want to. "

Michael Bay

Doesn't he really know the piss of the media and critics?

He's very clear.

However... Michael Bay's career as a director has gone so smoothly!

"Jedi war police", "brave to take life island", "peerless robbery"

Since he officially entered Hollywood, Michael Bay is like a wall hanging in God's coat, making a movie and a movie, and the box office is getting higher and higher.

The pride of heaven's fame, spread like wildfire!

The word "failure" does not exist in his dictionary at all.

But this time, he messed up!

Spielberg also analyzed: "in fact, the movie Pearl Harbor is pretty good. However, ward pictures' new work District 9 is released at the same time as your movie! The $30 million low-cost sci-fi film broke the box office records of a series of medium cost films and completely suppressed your scenery. "

Michael betten had a bitter time.

Not mentioning the movie "zone ninth" is a good thing to mention. Even though he is Michael, he can not help but face his old face.

No one in Hollywood knows who doesn't laugh. On the eve of the release of Pearl Harbor, Michael Bay attacked District 9 more than once.

"District nine is a joke."

"District 9, which costs $30 million to make, is still a science fiction movie. Can it be seen?"

"No doubt, it's a good piece."

"Pearl Harbor never competed with the same period release of District 9, but James Cameron's Titanic."

Every rave is still in my ears.

How arrogant I used to be, how painful I am now

Michael Bay, the director, and the cast members of Pearl Harbor, also have a sore face.

For example:

Kate Beckinsale, the actor of the heroine.

At the moment, she is very uncomfortable.

Agent: "Kate, you know, although I'm one of the senior partners of CAA, I can't control the will of the whole CAA. Since Pearl Harbor's reputation and box office failure, your internal rating in the company has been reduced from a + to B."

"At the same time, Hollywood's major film companies have lowered your rating. As for the loss of endorsement of various products, it has become a foregone conclusion."

Hearing this, Kate Beckinsale's face turned ugly at the moment.

Hollywood is a vanity fair, capital always pursues winners!

"From now on, it's very difficult for you to get the resources of category a blockbusters," the agent added

"Is there really no room for recovery?"

Kate Beckinsale was very upset. She worked hard for so many years, paid so much, just won a class a commercial blockbuster "Pearl Harbor" heroine. To this end, just gave birth to a daughter less than two months, she immediately put into work.

Now, however, the film has failed.

How cool the producers who used to chase him are now.

"It's hard."

The agent shook his head and said: "the past means the past. There are not many people who can turn over. Do you know Mira Jovovich? "

Kate Beckinsale nodded to show that she knew.

(Note: Mira Jovovich is the actress of Alice in the biochemical crisis movie series.)

"In the mid-1990s, Mira was already a very famous actress, for which she won the favor of Luc Besson's the fifth element. But as a result, you know, it hasn't turned over yet. " The broker said in a low voice.

The production cost of the film "the fifth element" is 90 million US dollars, and the publicity fund is more than 50 million US dollars. At that time, it was the most expensive film made by GAOMENG.

But what happened after the movie came out?

There were a lot of negative comments, and the box office was even worse.

For this reason, GAOMENG almost went bankrupt.

Luc Besson, a famous international director and producer of this killer is not too cold, can only leave Hollywood and return to Europe;

Mira Jovovich, the heroine of the film, is completely out of power. It's hard to get access to films with an investment cost of more than $20 million, and she becomes a dog hating actress.

Hollywood is such a reality!

Even in the future, Mira's role as Alice, the heroine of the biochemical crisis film series, has become popular again, and she has never been able to contact with A-class commercial production again.

Kate Beckinsale looked bitter and said, "I see."

The agent comforted, "think for yourself, and I'll help you."

In fact, in the future, Kate Beckinsale's fate is very similar to Mira Jovovich's. Kate Beckinsale later starred in the "Legend of the night" series of films, once again popular, also did not have any chance to contact with A-line commercial production.

Since then, she has completely lost the chance to become a first-line Hollywood actress, and can only become a second-line actress.

There is a word that the agent didn't say.

"On the eve of the release of Pearl Harbor, Kate Beckinsale repeatedly spoke ill of District 9 and Zucker. Does she still have a chance to turn red?"

......

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Kate Beckinsale, she's done!"

"I'm pretty sure Mr. Zucker Wald will get back at Kate Beckinsale," Matt Damon said to his good friend Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck breathed a sigh of relief and said, "thank you for reminding me, otherwise, I would be reckoned with now."

During the promotion of Pearl Harbor, Kate Beckinsale made a lot of comments, but as the leading actor, Affleck remembered his good friend's advice, kept his rationality and restraint, and never made any comments against him.

Matt Damon sneered: "in Hollywood, we can be arrogant, but we have to score people, people like Mr. Zucker Wald, we can't offend, not a bit."

Ben Affleck nodded, and his EQ was not low.

"The first watch" is presented.
