Chapter 601： time of war

Documentary director Michael Moore openly bombarded the Bush administration's policies and the Iraq war at the Oscars, sparking ongoing public controversy.

Recently, the White House finally came forward and held a press conference, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Jerry Bruckheimer, Kevin Costner, Ridley Sko Special Hollywood celebrities, all appeared.

At the meeting, Spielberg declared: "If President Bush has as much reliable intelligence as I think he can confirm that Saddam Hussein is building weapons of mass destruction, I can't help but support his policies. "

Tom Cruise also told reporters: "President Bush's policy is reliable and practical!"

James Woods said frankly: "I love George Walker Bush, I have always loved it!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger said: "Do you know what 'lamestan' means in English? It's just to beat each other up!"

Not to mention Jerry Bruckheimer, a producer with a smarter mind than anyone else, who said truthfully: "Even the lower-level Hollywood stars don't care much about military operations outside the United States."

Not only that, Jerry Bruckheimer began to look at the TV market because of his sinking in the film market, and cooperated with the Department of Defense to produce a TV program called "Frontline Archives", which faithfully reflected the battle situation on the frontline, as well as those Human rights violations by the state.

Compared with the low-level documentary directors like Michael Moore, who can no longer be a small minority, the words of these people represent the mainstream voice in Hollywood.

Hollywood is Hollywood.

A group of entertainers working hard in the entertainment industry, unless they are forced to gain a position, no one will do anything to offend the White House.

Originally at the end of 2002, 104 Hollywood stars signed their names on the slogan "Win Without a Fight".

But now?

These heretical voices have disappeared.

Even if there are celebrities who make jokes about President Bush, this is a common phenomenon in the United States, and there will be no harsh words at all.

As early as the outbreak of the first Gulf War, Tommy Lee Jones, James Woods, Shange Winton, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere, Hubi Goldberg, Bey More than 100 Hollywood stars, including T. Midler and Kurt Russell, collaborated to record a public service song "Love's Warning".

Lyrics included, "Right or wrong, may you always be strong. So here we are, singing along the way."

But here comes the problem.

Do these people... really endorse the federal policy of going to war?

not necessarily!

After the Oscars, several meetings were held in the Hollywood industry in a row, and Dunn also attended five or six meetings, and he had a clear instruction on the direction of public opinion in the industry.

Absolutely can't sing the opposite of the government!

The scandal crisis of Michael Moore must be minimized!

Otherwise, it will seriously affect the overall interests of Hollywood.

If nothing else, it would be a big loss if the federal government introduced a policy to cancel the Department of Defense's budget endorsement for Hollywood blockbusters.

This includes not only war films and military films, but also films like "Spider-Man", "Tomb Raider" and "The Departed" that punish evil and promote good, defend national security, and maintain world peace. Department of Defense budget.

Every year, at least between 300 million - 500 million US dollars!

Under the joint control of Disney, New Universal, Warner, Paramount, Columbia, MGM, major brokerage companies, as well as the Producers Association, the Film Association and many other institutions.

Radical speech in Hollywood is well controlled.

Next up, this year's Oscar winner for Best Documentary, Michael Moore.

Although the major Hollywood film companies have not issued a general order to block him, it is almost the same.

Who dares to use this kind of broom star?

Self-righteous thorn!

Michael Moore originally won the Oscar and reached the pinnacle of his life, and he may even enter the mainstream film circle and enter another world of gold and money fans.

Unexpectedly, his acceptance speech directly made him fall from the peak of his life to the lowest point in his life in just over a month.

Almost everyone yelled.

He is very angry!

Who to hate?

Bear the brunt, of course, is President Bush!

Michael Moore has decided that he wants to make a movie that "plays" President Bush, and he wants Bush to pay a heavy price for what happened to him!

He had already thought about the name of the movie, and it was called "Fahrenheit 911"!

...

With Dunn's "Spider-Man" becoming a global hit and selling a massive $1.26 billion at the box office, it seems that the spring of the comic book movie is coming.

Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men, Sony Entertainment's Men in Black, and Warner Bros. have also rebooted the Batman project.

Now, another superhero from Marvel Studios is about to debut - Daredevil!

The official title of the film is Daredevil: Hour of War.

The film will be released simultaneously in 17 countries including the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, France, Germany, Australia, and Canada on May 22!

With the advent of economic globalization, the simultaneous release of Hollywood commercial blockbusters in countries around the world has become more and more mainstream.

Because of this, it also brought a lot of trouble to the publishing company and the main creative team.

With so many countries showing at the same time, what route will the main creative team use to promote it in various countries?

No matter how you arrange it, you must allow enough time.

This has resulted in a North American premiere, much earlier than the release date.

Thursday, May 8th.

The premiere of Daredevil: Hour of War was held at an imax theater under the amc theater chain on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.

In addition to the main creators of the film, almost all entertainment media in the United States were also invited This is another superhero grandly launched by Marvel Studios after "Spider-Man".

What will be the content of the video?

"Spider-Man 1" was directed by Dunn Walker himself, and "Spider-Man 2" was also shot by British director Ridley Scott, which made the "Spider-Man" series a great success.

Now, Marvel Studios has launched a superhero "Daredevil", which is far less famous than "Spider-Man", and the director is still unknown newcomer Christopher Nolan.

Will this work?

Don't screw up a $120 million blockbuster!

Not only the outside media, but even Shirley Lansing, the newly appointed vice president of the film and television entertainment department, is also suspicious about this.

Dunn simply invited her to the premiere.

She joined New Universal too late, and she didn't see the internal screenings before Daredevil: Hour of War.

After more than 20 minutes of the opening ceremony, the lights in the 228-seat imax hall finally dimmed.

Video, about to start!

Dunn's left is Christopher Nolan, right is Shirley Lansing.

"Are you nervous?" Dunn asked in a low voice to the left.

"It's okay." Nolan shook his head, then smiled, "I think the company should be more nervous than me."

Tang En disagreed and said firmly: "Don't worry, the company's confidence in you is more than your confidence in yourself!"

Nolan gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Once again, he deeply felt Dunn's attention.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

He has long thought that as long as Dunn is willing, he will always cooperate with New Universal to make films for a lifetime.

The big screen more than 20 meters wide suddenly went dark.

It's time to fight!
