Chapter 176 It's Interesting to Provoke Discord

This year, Dunn Films has invested in many films.

Steven Soderbergh's "Drug Web" started filming in early April, and according to the schedule, it will be completed in another month. The specific release time should be at the end of December this year, or early next year.

"The Chronicles of Narnia" directed by Ann Lee, the project has been confirmed at the end of April and has entered the preparatory stage. Although there were some changes later, producer Jerry Bruckheimer withdrew, and Warner participated in the investment, but it did not affect the progress of the project.

Now that The Chronicles of Narnia has completed the casting phase, the crew will travel to New Zealand to begin filming at the end of July.

It is worth mentioning that because George Lucas is preparing for "Star Wars Episode 2", Industrial Light and Magic is very busy; James Cameron also has a new film in the pipeline, and the Digital Domain special effects company is very busy; "The Lord of the Rings" 3 The trilogy is still in post-production, and Weta Technologies is very busy...

Finally, after coordination with Warner Bros., the post-production of The Chronicles of Narnia will be completed by Weta Technologies in New Zealand and Rhythm and Effects Studio in the United States.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has just been approved, and the two stars Mel Gibson and Sophie Marceau are training guns, dance training and movement training.

So that Sophie Marceau was so tired that she collapsed into a ball every day, and even lost the strength to make out with Dunn. Fortunately, there were two Brazilian stunners, their charm and charm, and they tried their best to please, and Tang En was like a cloud.

The script of the movie has been changed 7 times, Dunn and Luc Besson are not satisfied, the script is still being revised. The actual filming of the film will be at least August.

In addition, the crew of "Band of Brothers" has traveled to Europe, where gun instructors and military instructors took the actors to conduct a series of militarized training.

This TV series, produced by Steven Spielberg, Dunn Walker, and Tom Hanks, can be described as a collection of celebrities and big names!

However, Spielberg and Dunn are both nominal producers, to put it bluntly, investors.

The real producer is Tom Hanks, he is the initiator of this project, and all the leading actors and directors are personally selected by him. He will travel to Europe to live with the crew and work on the series together.

I even heard that he will direct one or two episodes himself.

As for now, one of the movies that Dunn Pictures is most concerned about is the upcoming "Spider-Man"!

Countdown to the show, 8 days!

Disney's live-action movies are the biggest weakness.

Fortunately, after the acquisition of Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures in the 1980s, there was some turning point. Especially in the 1990s, he launched a series of cooperation with ace producer Jerry Bruckheimer and launched many successful films, including "Ransom Storm", "Peerless Catastrophe", "The Sixth Sense" and other works .

The breakthrough in live-action films made Joe Ruth, chairman of Touchstone Pictures, the confidant of Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner, and was promoted to the position of president of Disney's film department, responsible for all Disney's live-action film business. .

In order to achieve better performance, last year, he instructed Bruce Willis to blast off "Wedding Crackers" in an attempt to get the audience to buy tickets to watch "The Sixth Sense".

Although there was a lot of conflict with Dunn later, Joe Ruth was not afraid.

Can a small Dunn Pictures threaten Disney?

What's more, Twentieth Century Fox also shot.

Joe Ruth and Tom Rothman have some friendship. Under the circumstance of Dunn's ignorance, he decisively chose to cooperate with Fox to sanction Dunn Films and the upcoming "Spider-Man" this year.

Because Joe Ruth is Michael Eisner's confidant, he applied to launch Disney's propaganda force to discredit Dunn during Dunn's public relations crisis, and he also obtained permission.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly!

Dunn not only survived the public relations crisis smoothly, but also achieved a flourishing reputation and influence under the joint promotion of several aspects!

Next, Joe Ruth is in trouble.

In order to sanction "Spider-Man", he changed the schedule of Disney's summer blockbuster "Sixty Seconds", and attempted to join forces with Fox's "Titan a.e." to give Dunn a fatal blow.

But now it seems that everything is a joke!

"Spider-Man" has not been released yet, but it has become a hot topic in the United States, even more hot than the current "Mission Impossible 2" starring superstar Tom Cruise.

Such a movie, even if Satan comes, he can't stop it!

However, Joe Ruth and the situation are completely different from Tom Rothman.

Before Joe Ruth, Disney's live-action was a vacuum, he was a man of merit, and he had the biggest support of big boss Michael Eisner; Tom Rothman was brought out for four years in a row by Bill McNick North American box office winners "Independence Day", "Titanic", "My Great Greek Wedding", "Star Wars Episode 1" came on stage.

Therefore, Joe Ruth's pressure is much less than Tom Rothman, and he will be calmer and clearer when making decisions, all in the interests of Disney.

Because behind him stands Michael Eisner, who can carry everything for him.

"Spider-Man" is an unsolved problem at the moment. It is conceivable that any movie that collides with "Spider-Man" will become cannon fodder, just like last year's "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace" was released.

Joe Ruth hasn't despaired yet!

"Sixty Seconds" is not a bad movie. It is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. It is a wonderful action movie.

Even if "Spider-Man" is now hot and the momentum is fierce, it is impossible to occupy all the market share, right?

Even leftovers are better than starving to death in the end and losing everything.

Is "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" popular? When the film arrangement rate is the highest, it is only 70, and there is still a 30 film arrangement share.

Joe Ruth understands that at this time, no matter how powerful Disney is, it is impossible for the hospital to adjust the schedule and lower the screening level of "Spider-Man".

Then there is only one choice left for him. Since the big fish "Spider-Man" can't eat it, he will eat all the small shrimps!

For the remaining 30 row rates, get as many as you can!

Joe Ruth called the secretary, "What are the movies released at the same time as "Sixty Seconds"?"

The secretary quickly found the information, "There are a total of 13 films, except for some low-cost point screenings and trial screenings, the most competitive films in the same period are 4 films. On June 21, our film "Sixty Seconds Speed" , Dunn Pictures' Spider-Man on June 22, the British cartoon "Chicken Run" on June 23, and Fox's "Titan a.e." on June 24."

"Chicken Run?" Joe Ruth curled his lips. "What interesting things can a quirky and stereotyped Englishman do? And it's a different viewing group, so it's not a threat to our movies."

The secretary sighed, "Yeah, the real threat is Spider-Man."

""Spider-Man"?" Joe Ruth shook his head, "you have to understand that the person who can pose a threat to you must be someone of your level. If the gap is too large and you are still worried, it means that you live in in a dream."

The secretary seemed to understand something, "You mean... "Sixty Seconds" is not the opponent of "Spider-Man"?"

"Of course! Our opponent is "Titan a.e."! As long as we grab all the market share of "Titan a.e.", no matter how much "Spider-Man" sells at the box office, those diverted audiences will be enough for us to break even."

"But we and Fox..."

Joe Ruth waved his hand, "Public is public, private is private, and capital is capital!"

Tang En stretched, yawned a lot, and walked downstairs.

The two Brazilian supermodel stunners brought him endless pleasure and enjoyment, but it also consumed him too much energy.

Fortunately, Nicole Kidman has moved out of his house since returning from Cannes, ending the 16-month absurd cohabitation life.

After searching for seven or eight rooms in a row, I finally saw the beautiful figure of Sophie Marceau in the gym. She was lying on a sponge mat and doing sit-ups.

"So hardworking?" Dunn was a little surprised.

Sophie Marceau looked back and smiled, "You want to shape your body, the art director requires it."

"You work really hard." Dunn yawned again, "Don't be too tired today, come back early, I'll sleep with you at night."

Sophie Marceau teased: "Aren't you very good Two women can't stand it?"

Dunn said: "It has nothing to do with that. They are going back to New York today. They are models, and they work in New York."

"Oh." Sophie Marceau curled her lips, "It turns out that no one else thought of me."

Tang En was not in the mood to argue with her, "Have you read the newspaper? What's the news today?"

In this age when the Internet is underdeveloped and there is no mobile news, newspapers are still the largest carrier of news.

"One thing, there are suddenly a lot of Drew Barrymore's scandals in the newspapers, and they are watching Fox's new movie "Titan a.e."." Sophie Marceau paused, and fixed her eyes on Dunn, "You didn't do it, did you?"

Tang En curled his lips in disdain, "Who else is there other than Disney for this kind of tricky trick?"

"Disney?"

Sophie Marceau was surprised.

"Have you forgotten how Disney smeared me a month ago? Forget it, you don't understand about Hollywood." Dunn waved, turned and left the gym.

Back in the study, Dunn immediately made a phone call, "George, the news about Bruce Willis will be sent out immediately. Tomorrow at the latest, I will let the whole United States know about his affair in marriage!"

Now, Disney is smearing "Titan a.e." for the box office of "Sixty Seconds".

This is obvious.

Dunn doesn't know how Fox will respond, but now that he has taken action to rectify Bruce Willis, it can at least create an illusion for Disney - will this be Fox's counterattack?

Hey, it's a very interesting thing to sow discord!
