Chapter 185： another record

The current MGM company holds more than 2,000 film copyrights, but this is not a film from the golden age of MGM at all, but the film rights of United Artists.

The film rights of MGM's golden years are now controlled by the "MGM Library" company, which is now a Warner subsidiary.

MGM's existing copyrights are only the film rights of MGM's films made after 1986 and the film rights of United Artists in the past. But even so, the number of copyrights is twice that of Universal Pictures.

It can be seen how terrible the copyright stock of MGM was in those days.

Dunn was a little alarmist, but after a period of contact, Ron Mayer knew that Dunn always said some inexplicable "big words", but after a while, it seemed that there was always some truth.

The reputation of the Vivendi Group...it stinks!

"What do you mean?" Ron Mayer sat on the sofa, thinking deeply.

Tang En sighed: "In any case, we must take precautions before it happens. MGM's painful lesson has already brought a wake-up call, right?"

Ron Mayer narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Universal is not MGM! In any case, the century-old foundation of Universal Pictures will not collapse in my hands!"

Tang En heaved a sigh of relief, "So, Lang, you have to start preparing some preventive measures. If Vivendi really wants to take action, there must be some countermeasures, right?"

"Balance?"

Ron Mayer raised his eyebrows and glanced deeply at Dunn, feeling that he was trying to provoke discord.

At the beginning, before Dunn made a fortune, he consulted Seagram Group about the possibility of acquiring Universal Pictures.

At that time, Seagram Group was intent on discussing mergers and acquisitions with Vivendi and ignored Dunn at all.

However, Dunn's ambitions for Universal Pictures still came out.

Ron Mayer knows that Dunn now holds huge sums of money, has great ambitions for Hollywood, and is very interested in Universal Pictures, a century-old store.

As long as Vivendiken makes a move, he will definitely take over.

The key is... Vivendi is also ambitious, and even has a bigger appetite. He wants to open up the European and American continents and form a whole film industry. Even the TV station was merged into Universal Pictures.

Ron Mayer fell silent, pondering Dunn's intentions carefully.

Tang En said angrily: "Mr. Mayer, you are an executive officer of Universal Pictures, and the parent company is Vivendi. If you can't fight with me, can I still hurt you?"

Ron Meyer laughed at himself and waved his hand, "Little guy, I understand what you mean. After I go back, I will communicate with the management, coordinate all aspects of the relationship, and resolutely reject the intervention of the French."

Tang En nodded, "It's always right to do a few more preparations."

Ron Mayer looked at him with a smile, "What about Marvel heroes?"

Tang En's face turned positive, "Don't worry about this first, Marvel is the trump card of Tang En Pictures, I can't take risks. Even if I have a conflict with Disney, there is still Warner World, right?"

Ron Mayer's face darkened.

Tang En said with a smile: "But don't worry, in a short time, I will not authorize any party. I can wait. If Universal Pictures can develop steadily and continuously in two or three years, I don't mind letting Marvel's heroes, Log in to Universal Studios, Orlando or Osaka, no problem!"

"Is this true?"

Ron Mayer knows Dunn's plan, Marvel's superhero movies are definitely more than one "Spider-Man".

One can imagine how much influence Marvel's heroes will have in two or three years.

Tang En looked confident, "It's a deal!"

Two or three years is enough!

Unless another reborn person comes, God will not be able to stop Vivendi from dying...

...

Saturday, June 23.

Twentieth Century Fox's new film "." was released in anticipation of Tom Rothman.

However, it was as if the feather floated to the sea, without even a splash of water.

To this day, it is still invincible by "Spider-Man".

God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

Prior to this, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" set a single-day box office record of $33.79 million, and this weekend, it finally broke!

With a single-day revenue of 37.98 million US dollars, "Spider-Man" once again broke the record list after breaking the box office record in advance!

On that day, the total box office revenue in North America was 46.36 million US dollars, and "Spider-Man" alone accounted for 81.9%!

So far, "Spider-Man" has received a total of 93.14 million US dollars at the North American box office after one day of advance screening and two days of public release.

Because it was released on the weekend and the time was short, it was very difficult to break the first-week box office record of "Star Wars Episode 1" of 133 million US dollars.

But don't forget, "Spider-Man" is released simultaneously in more than 30 countries around the world!

After the weekend, after getting the overseas box office data, the total box office in the first week, let alone 133 million US dollars, even 233 million US dollars, it is possible!

On this day, "Sixty Seconds of Speed" only got 8.4% of the film. Fortunately, because of the good quality of the film, with the role of public relations, the negative news of Nicolas Cage decreased, and fans began to choose to watch the film one after another. .

On the same day, "Sixty Seconds of Speed" received a box office of 4.32 million US dollars. In the case of 8.4% of the films, it received 9.3% of the box office, which is good news.

In contrast, Brothers in Adversity "." is miserable. With a 14.5% film scheduling rate, it only won a box office of 1.58 million US dollars on the first day of its release, and lost it to my grandma's house!

Undoubtedly, it won't take too long. On Sunday, the major theater chains will adjust their schedules, greatly reducing the size of the release of ".", and cede the theater to "Sixty Seconds" and "Chicken Run."

As for Spider-Man...no one can move!

...

Now there are four major record companies in the world, EMI, Universal, Sony and Warner.

Dunn introduced Taylor Swift to EMI Records, studying music with a well-known music teacher and producer, John Current.

He received a text message from little Taylor, the content was very interesting: "Dawn, come and help, you must come, you must come! If you don't come, I will die!"

That night, Dunn went to Little Taylor's house. Andrea was a little at a loss, and Little Taylor was very excited. She ran down the second floor with her eyes full of tears. Very aggrieved.

Dunn glanced at Andrea, and saw that she was a little helpless and somewhat amused in her annoyance.

Don't think about it, this little girl must be in trouble again and be punished.

Dunn squatted down in front of her and said with a smile, "what's the matter, who bullied the lovely and brave Miss Swift again?"

"My mother!" Little Taylor glanced at Andrea angrily, wrinkled her little nose and said, "Dawn, you fired my mother, she is so bad!"

"what?"

Dunn and Andrea were surprised at the same time.

This little Taylor is too nonsense, isn't it?

Andrea works in the personnel department of Dunn Films, very leisurely, basically a salary, messing around.

"Why?"

Dunn looked at her interestingly.

Little Taylor tilted her head and said angrily, "She won't let me watch "Spider-Man"!"

"what?"

Dunn was stunned for a moment and glanced at Andrea.

Although "Spider-Man" is rated PG-13, it does not have too many scenes. Except for a few action scenes that are a bit hot and may scare children, everything else is normal.

Andrea gritted her teeth and said, "Taylor, didn't I take you to the cinema yesterday? Tell me, why didn't I let you watch the movie?"

Little Taylor felt a little guilty, but tried to calm down again, "What's the matter, didn't you just watch a Dunn movie, what's the big deal?"

Tang Enhu said with a face: "Taylor, tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Dunn's serious face, his biggest supporter was also a little angry, little Taylor lowered his head and pouted: "I just watched "Titanic" secretly once, and Andrea was angry and wouldn't let me Watch Spider-Man."

Well, not even my mother called me.

Dunn and Andrea have the same attitude, "Titanic" is not "Spider-Man"! He frowned and said solemnly, "Taylor, you're too rambunctious, that movie... is not suitable for your age."

"Why? Why can't children watch such a good-looking movie? I've watched it three times, and I've been moved to cry for a long time each time!" Little Taylor stubbornly poutedThree all over? Andrea sensed her daughter's gaffe, pointed to little Taylor, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Dunn frowned.

In the previous life, he liked Taylor Swift's songs very much, and also liked her body and face as much as an angel and supermodel, but she was criticized for the private life of one boyfriend and another boyfriend.

In this life, he was fortunate enough to know the young Taylor Swift very early, and of course he hoped to make some efforts to change the trajectory of her life.

It's just that little Tyler...seems to be disobedient.

"Taylor, the movie "Titanic" has many scenes and is not suitable for your age to watch." Dunn had no choice but to persuade.

Little Taylor flashed big eyes, tilted his head and asked, "What kind of shot, I think it's all okay?"

Tang En said solemnly, "There are **** scenes there!"

Little Taylor said disapprovingly: "Kate Winslet? I think she's beautiful. Besides, what's the big deal, I'm a girl, I even took a bath with my mother, what haven't I seen?"

"Cough cough!"

Tang En's face turned red, and he was speechless.

Andrea was also embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, "Taylor, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it is!"

Little Taylor pouted and refused to admit defeat.

Dunn has a very headache. It seems that it is very difficult to change a person's character. Blocking is worse than sparse, simply take a step by step!

"Forget it, since you want to watch "Spider-Man", then watch it." Dunn waved his hand, stood up, and said to Andrea: "Tomorrow night, I will ask Universal to help arrange a special show, let's All the employees of the company can watch it for free, and when the time comes, you can take Taylor with you."

"Oh yeah!"

Little Taylor cheered excitedly and jumped up.
