Chapter 646

Dawning entertainment group.

"Boss, this is an invitation from Sony Columbia Pictures." Alexander handed Zucker an invitation.

Zhuke took it, and when he saw the name of the invitation, he was happy on the spot.

[the celebration reception of the movie "Black Hawk falling"]

Chucker said with a smile, "I remember that the movie" Black Hawk falls "was directed by this guy, Radley Scott?"

"Yes, that's him."

Alexander nodded.

"If I remember correctly, the box office of this movie should have been a fiasco. Columbia Pictures lost a lot of money," he said, waving the invitation. That's it. They even have a celebration party? "

"Did you fool the ghost?"

The movie "Black Hawk falls" tells the story of the 1993 Somali war, in which the U.S. military engaged in a protracted street battle with the Armed Somali militia due to intelligence errors. The movie is composed of about 150 Army Rangers, delta forces and some seals; The small task completed within one hour was unexpectedly attacked by the local army and turned into a story of a 15 hour battle of trapped animals.

Movie production cost: US $95 million;

Publicity and distribution expenses: more than US $30 million;

Director: Ridley Scott;

Radley Scott is not a little director, but a famous big director. His representative works include "the blade killer", "the last flower", "Gladiator" and so on.

In the future, he will direct and shoot American Gangster, Prometheus, Mars rescue

There is no doubt that he is one of the top directors in Hollywood.

As a matter of principle, the war movie "Black Hawk falls" should be a great success, but unfortunately, it came across the 911 incident

Do you think the box office of this movie can be high?

Moreover, the movie is on December 18!

Don't forget, the Lord of the rings exists in all kinds of films released on December 19.

The fall of the Black Hawk meets the Lord of the rings. Don't die too fast.

Producer Sony Columbia, blood loss!

"Tut tut ~"

Chuck sneered, "that's it? Colombia also means to hold a celebration party? "

If it's Zhuke, he'll have no face to hold a celebration party.

The film has lost so much money. Where else can I do this?

Alexander said: "Colombia's 2001 year was very miserable. According to statistics, the final North American box office of the movie" Black Hawk Down "should be worth more than 100 million. And this achievement is already Colombia's highest box office movie of the year in 2001. "

Juke's face flicked.

"Man, if I remember correctly, I don't think it will make it into the top 15 of the North American box office charts in 2001."

Asked Zucker.

Alexander nodded again: "the ranking is about 17 ~ 20, anyway, we can't get into the top 15."

This is Sony Columbia.

You know, Sony Columbia Pictures is one of the six biggest Hollywood companies. It has the same existence as Disney, paramount, universal, Warner and 20th century fox. It is a big company worthy of the name!

But what about 2001?

It's so miserable

Its annual performance, not to mention compared with other big six companies in Hollywood, is much worse than that of Wald pictures, DreamWorks and other film companies. It does not match its status as big six in Hollywood.

Of course, if Colombia had not had a global distribution channel, its performance would have been worse.

"Boss, they invited you. Are you going?"

Asked Alexander.

"Go, of course!"

"I'd like to see... What they sell in the gourd," he said

.......

Warner Bros.

"What's the name?"

"Guess it, it's definitely for our film library!"

"Recently, whether Sony Group or Toshiba group, these two Japanese enterprises have made a lot of blood and waved checks everywhere in order to sell DVD players and possibly develop new DVD formats."

Steve Ross, former chairman of Time Warner, showed disdain.

"I think so."

CEO Barry Meyer nodded heavily.

Steve Roth: "you'll go then, and I won't go."

Barry Meyer nodded and suddenly asked, "if I foresee Shea at this reception, should I warn him again?"

Shay, the boss of new line pictures, has recently benefited from the explosive performance of the Lord of the rings movie, but she is very happy. She doesn't pay any attention to Warner, and even has plans to leave Warner

It made Barry Meyer angry.

"No

Steve Ross waved his hand and sneered, "he's not qualified for Shay. Although he is clamouring now, and even wooing a large number of neutral shareholders to his side, I don't believe he can always succeed. "

"Well, no one can always succeed!"

"As long as he makes a big mistake... How much these shareholders support him now, how much they will oppose him in the future. At that time, we can start at any time and take over the management right of new line film directly, turning it into a subsidiary of Warner. "

Smell speech, Barry Meyer also laughed.

If a company like Xinxian film makes a major mistake, it will definitely lose its vitality;

What about Warner?

Even if three, five, or ten films fail, they can quickly turn around according to Warner's size!

This is the inside story of a big company!

.......

Soon.

Columbia Pictures held the celebration reception of "Black Hawk falls" and arrived smoothly.

The directors of Hollywood's major film companies are basically here;

Hollywood actors, producers, directors, and so on, have also come a lot.

Zucker was among them.

"Boring cocktail party, full of nonsense."

Murdoch said.

Smell speech, the Zhu Ke of one side holds wine cup, say with a smile: "everybody is such?"

Murdoch nodded, laughed and said, "yes. But I believe the following content will not be too boring. "

"I think so, too," chucker said with a smile. After all, according to the box office performance of "Black Hawk falls", there is no reason to hold a celebration party. "

Sure enough!

In the middle of the celebration banquet, changes took place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now let's welcome Mr. kawaki Yize from Sony Group!" The host at the scene said in a loud voice.

Kawaki Ichizawa!

He's from Sony Group. He's a man who's been waving checks all over Hollywood recently. He's also a man who's been making Hollywood boil recently.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Taking this opportunity, I will solemnly announce an event. From now on, 12 companies headed by Sony Group will formally establish the" founder of Blu ray Disc "alliance in the near future

"On behalf of Sony Group, I sincerely invite you to join us."

Blu ray founder alliance, the predecessor of Blu ray alliance, is a true interest group. Once DVD Blu ray is officially developed and put into use, it is likely to monopolize the DVD format market.

It's a trillion dollar market!

Of course, the premise of monopoly is to win over enough allies and defeat Toshiba HD's DVD format.

The voice fell.

There was an instant uproar.

"Sony really said it!"

Murdoch's face changed.

Many people have guessed Sony's real intention for a long time, but they are still shocked to learn from the representatives of Sony Group.

Because this market is too attractive, which contains enough wealth to make anyone crazy!

Zhu Ke, Lei Shidong, Barry Meyer, Xie Yi and others immediately looked at each other.

There are clear differences among not saying, saying and doing.

Now Sony has said it, and it has won over a group of allies to set up a blu ray founder alliance. This alliance will inevitably affect the interests of the whole Hollywood in the future, and no one will be spared.

Or join the Sony alliance;

Or join Toshiba alliance;

It's unrealistic to try to please both sides and be a wall grass!

The second watch is on.
