The next day.
9 am.
Kevin Fitch, President of Wald pictures, received orders from Zhuke and held an emergency press conference today.
"The company solemnly decided to postpone the project approval of Spider Man 2!"
As soon as the news came out, the whole entertainment industry was shocked.
Man, this is spider man!
You know, when Spiderman 1 was released, the box office of its first weekend three days exceeded 100 million US dollars, setting an amazing historical record.
The box office in North America is nearly 400 million US dollars;
The global box office is nearly 900 million US dollars;
The sales and leasing market of DVD and video tapes in the offline market also set a series of records one after another.
Since the release of the film nearly a year ago, Wald pictures, relying on the power of its parent company, Golden Dawn entertainment group, has madly attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold in terms of copyright revenue, such as peripheral licensing, TV platform broadcasting, etc.
In less than a year, it has brought at least $450 million in profits to Wald pictures.
Undoubtedly, "Spider Man" is a big IP half circle, which is the copyright coveted by countless film companies.
But now?
"Why don't they start Spider Man 2 right away?"
"My God, what's going on in the film industry in my ears?"
"That's right. When Spiderman 1 DVD was on sale a few days ago, Wald pictures announced that it was going to start shooting Spiderman 2. Now it's said that if it doesn't shoot, it won't shoot? What the hell
"Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut
The media reporters at the scene were stunned.
At the same time, they don't understand the operation of Wald pictures.
What are you thinking about putting money away?
Hollywood colleagues all know that spider man 2 is bound to make a lot of money as long as it's not too bad. As a result, it's very unclear to them why Wald pictures delayed the production of Spider Man 2.
"I don't quite understand."
Andre, the editor in chief of Los Angeles entertainment, who has always been friendly with Wald pictures, also questioned: "a few days ago, I received news that Wald pictures had settled all the contracts except for Toby Maguire, the leading actor. People with clear eyes can see that spider man 2 is imminent."
"But now it's delayed, and it's not regular yet..."
"It can't be because of Toby Maguire."
Andre frowned and felt closer to the truth.
For a moment, people's endless doubts poured into Kevin Fitch.
Kevin feichilang said: "don't worry too much. I can tell you the reason why the film was delayed《 There have been 37 trial drafts before and after the Script Compilation of Spider Man 2, but we are not very satisfied. In order not to disappoint the majority of fans, we will spare no effort to present the best to you, so we can only postpone shooting at the moment. "
A reasonable answer.
But if you ask the reporters on the scene, will they believe it?
"Lie to ghosts, I don't believe a word anyway."
New York Post's Los Angeles correspondent Mikhail shook his head with disdain.
The reporters at the scene asked questions one by one, and Kevin Fitch also answered them one by one, but... It's absolutely nothing practical.
Soon after.
From the press conference site to leave the media reporters, who let "Spider Man" amazing influence?!
"Due to script problems, production company Wald pictures announced today that it would postpone the production of Spider Man 2," the Boston entertainment newspaper said in an article
The West Coast Youth Daily said: "the delay in shooting Spider Man 2 has undoubtedly disappointed the majority of fans. After all, it means that if you want to see it, you still need to wait for a while."
......
California entertainment, Los Angeles entertainment, time entertainment and other media also published articles.
American related movie websites and forums have also attracted a large number of fans' crazy discussions.
However, these reports are quite regular.
——Conspiracy theory!
In order to attract more attention, the vast majority of media have chosen a "conspiracy theory" and "truth emperor" perspective to report the news of the delayed shooting of Spider Man 2.
After all, the old Americans who "breathe sweet air" like conspiracy theory.
"CJ Pioneer Entertainment News" said: "Spider Man 2 stopped shooting? Is it that Jack Wald is out of money and going bankrupt? None of them! We might as well venture to speculate whether Mr. Zucker Wald is going to sell the Wald film industry under his name. After all, the citizens of the United States know that the film and television project is only a very small existence under the name of Zucker Wald. "
Selling Wald pictures?
So many people will not believe such a mentally handicapped speech.
But... There are a lot of low educated people in Laomei who believe that Zhuke is going to sell the company.
When Zhuke knew it, he couldn't help laughing and crying.
The people of Laomei are indeed "lovely enough". Many of them have almost no ability to distinguish right from wrong. Basically, they believe what others say.
Each one is easy to cheat.
Well, or they are easily guided by public opinion!
Of course, some media boldly wrote down the question "is it because of the hero Toby Maguire" in the process of reporting.
"Is Toby Maguire's blatant proposal of sky high film price the main reason why Spider Man 2 was forced to stop production?"
"Is the signing of the trilogy of actors' contracts just a piece of waste paper with no legal binding force?"
An article with the flavor of conspiracy theory constantly criticizes Toby Maguire himself under the guidance of someone with a heart.
Greed, arrogance, wickedness
One by one, Toby Maguire was crowned with negative names.
Don't doubt it. What people mean is golden dawn Entertainment Group!
Jack is angry. Of course he's going to mess with you!
Without Spiderman series, Zhuke can develop other films. What's the difference between Harry Potter series, Pirates of the Caribbean series, speed and passion series?
In a word, without Spiderman series films, Wald film is still a giant in that industry;
But Toby Maguire, who lost the aura of "Peter Parker", is nothing!
When Wald film is a soft persimmon, you can handle it?!
Toby Maguire was flustered by the news, and his agent, Juan Wiggins, was terrified.
Lost "Spider Man" the honor to add a body, also annoyed Zhuke, they certainly fear extremely.
The second watch is on.
