Head to head Hollywood 795 author Qian Duxue full text 3544 words

That year, Sony Pictures sought the rights to the series of Marvel's superhero "Spider-Man". As a result, Tang En took the lead and took the lead in completing the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment. After the acquisition was completed, Dunn would never let go of the copyright of any comic hero. Not only that, Dunn also personally directed the movie "Spider-Man", which earned 1.26 billion US dollars at the global box office and was a great success! This should have belonged to Sony's success! Later, Sony Pictures cooperated with Jerry Bruckheimer to launch the war film "Black Hawk Down", intending to invite Ridley Scott as the film director. As a result, Dunn dug the corner again and invited Ridley Scott to film "Spider-Man 2", leaving a mess for Sony Pictures' "Black Hawk Down" project and a huge loss. money. Later, the conflict between Dunn and Jerry Bruckheimer became deeper and deeper, and even affected the preparation of Sony Pictures' big project "Jedi Men 2". The results have also been seen, "Jedi Men 2" was a complete failure! It directly led to the breakup of the golden partners of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the CEO of Sony Pictures, John Carley, took the blame and left... Columbia Pictures CEO Amy Pascal was dug up by Dunn Universal Pictures. What's even more irritating is that Will Smith, who was supposed to be the star of "Jedi Boys 2", the ace of Sony Pictures, and an action star, also jumped to New Universal. It is conceivable that without Dunn, the performance of Sony Pictures in the past few years will definitely improve a lot! The most important thing is... Even MGM, which Howard Stringer has been interested in for a long time, has been acquired by New Universal. The deal was completed, and his hopes of ruling Sony were all but destroyed. At present, Sony, the most anticipated business in the market is HD Blu-ray. Under the premise that HD-DVD was first launched and quickly grabbed market share, MGM's film library became Sony's last piece of cake. This is what Howard Stringer has been striving for. Then Tang En intercepted Hu and ransacked his home. It's no wonder that Howard Stringer resents Dunn in his heart. Although the two have never met face-to-face, behind Sony Entertainment, there are shadows of Dunn everywhere! Including Sony Records! It can be said that the money that Sony Entertainment should have made in the past few years... was all made by Dunn! The capital of the upward channel that Howard Stringer could have accumulated was added to Dunn! Seeing that Dunn is flourishing in Hollywood, he even played the trick of controlling public opinion through feminism... Howard Stringer is not jealous, and he doesn't hold grudges! That's why he secretly arranged people in private, instigated Mia Farrow to make trouble, and disrupted Dunn's Hollywood layout. He asked himself to be very secretive. It will never be discovered by the outside world! This kind of thing...they have experience. Isn't that what Michael Jackson was like? This has made a huge profit for Sony Records. Howard Stringer is so confident! It's a pity that he may never have imagined that the contacts of Dunn's allies... are all involved in the White House and the President's campaign team. The normal way can not be found out, and the abnormal way can not be found out? ...With the blockbuster hits of the past few years, Marvel Studios' films... have become the hottest, hottest and most anticipated commercial blockbuster series at the moment. The Hollywood summer in 2004 was officially kicked off by "Ghost Rider". During the three weekends, the North American box office of "Ghost Rider" achieved 28.6 million US dollars, 30.67 million US dollars, and 22.87 million US dollars respectively, including the early performance of 7.8 million US dollars on Thursday... The box office of the first weekend, "Ghost Rider" 》Get a transcript of nearly 90 million US dollars! In just one weekend, Ghost Rider helped Zach Snyder break his North American box office record! The 9 overseas countries that were simultaneously released also achieved a box office of 64 million US dollars... According to this result, the final box office of "Ghost Rider: Origin" is likely to surpass Nolan's "Batman: War Hour", reaching 450 million -$550 million level. The North American box office may not be too different, but the overseas box office is different. Ghost Rider's magical colors, especially Zack Snyder's intricate style, are extraordinarily visual. It is more in line with the expectations of overseas audiences than the "bland" Daredevil. Throughout Hollywood, in terms of the magical presentation of visual colors, there is probably only one Tim Burton left in front of Zack Snyder. "What's your plan next?" Dunn was very satisfied with the first-week box office results of "Ghost Rider" and was visiting Tim Burton's team with Zack Snyder in an old-fashioned studio in West Hollywood. Zach Snyder shook his head and said, "Study." "Study?" In Dunn's eyes, there was a smile that was not a smile. This guy has been catching up with Nolan. Last year, after the release of "Daredevil", Nolan started the "Deadly Magic" project, and the film will be released in September this year. Dunn thought that he would also take advantage of this time to make a movie of his own. After all, according to Marvel's schedule, the release of "Ghost Rider 2" will not be released until 2007. There will be enough time to prepare for this project next summer. Just listen to Zack Snyder candidly said: "Although "Ghost Rider" is very good at the box office... But we all understand that the added value of the Marvel brand has great quality. This is similar to Chris' "Daredevil" Different, that's the truly groundbreaking movie. Daredevil 1's box office...maybe not as high as some of the other Marvel movies, but I can guarantee that with this film in place, Daredevil 2" will be an amazing achievement." Dunn did not take his own car, but the RV that Zach Snyder took. Hearing this, he nodded secretly and said, "So you plan to use this year's gap to enrich yourself? No wonder you made a special trip to find me to visit Tim Burton." Zach Snyder said: "Director Burton's style... I like it very much. Especially the use of color is amazing. Isn't the "Ghost Rider 2" project launched next year? I plan to... use this time to go to "Charlie" more Let's take a look at the crew of "The Chocolate Factory"." Tang En praised: "The idea is very positive and clear! I am afraid that the first week of "Ghost Rider" will make your mind go wild, which is very good."… …This is the original MGM studio, 60 years old. It is a pity that it has been abandoned for many years and even became a warehouse. It was sold by MGM in the 1970s, and in November last year, New Universal spent $130 million to buy it back. No way, the price is too high. Tim Burton will choose to build a studio here to prepare his new film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". On the one hand, because of the deep film background here, "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed here. Then there is the open space here, and there is no extra crew to disturb him. He can arrange whatever he wants to meet the shooting plan of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with the greatest effect. The movie will start on June 1. In July, because of the release of "Pirate Alliance 2", there will be a half-month break. As soon as Dunn and Zach Snyder entered the studio, there was a sense of entering a fairy tale world, and even... a sense of going to the Disney Company. Tim Burton is a doll lover. In the outer hall of the studio, the original drawings, concept designs, and various statues and model dolls of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" can be seen everywhere. In particular, the colorful conceptual design drawings covered the entire wall of this ring-shaped hall! How much does this cost? Dunn couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. Oh shit! Splurge! Is this a stinky show? "Cough... hang the images so that our team can find inspiration." Tim Burton came over and explained quickly. Dunn glanced at him, "If I remember correctly, the production budget of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is 150 million US dollars?" "Well." "Not a penny more!" "Of course! All our arrangements are It's in the plan." Tim Burton smiled, looking confident, "This wall, with a total of 1,024 paintings, cost less than $900,000 including decorations, pastels and background glass. . Those sculptures and dolls are even more worthless, just over $200,000." Dunn was so angry that he almost kicked him. Great breath! I never had such a big scene when I was making a movie! Tim Burton said quite proudly: "My movie... On weekdays there will be many industry peers and media reporters coming over, so you must leave a good impression on them? Even if it is not for the sake of The movie is also considered for the image of New Universal, right? If there is a mess in the studio, it will be a shame for MGM's reputation." Dunn waved his hand, he didn't bother to care about these little things, and frowned: "Tim , how do I hear people say you reject green screen?" "Yes." "The whole movie was shot on location?" "Yes." "How much would that cost?" "The $150 million budget is enough for us. Dunn shook his head and sighed: "Tim, I can understand your pursuit and persistence. However, times have changed, and green screen is the future of movies." Zach Snyder added immediately, saying: "The future Movies will become more and more 'ideal'. With the support of computer technology, many scenes that were impossible in the past can be shot with green screen. This is impossible to do with sets." Tim Burton He smiled indifferently: "The green screen thing... don't worry, I'll talk about it when I learn it." "Pfft!" Zach Snyder almost fainted. Director Bolton can't shoot green screen? But then again, he made "Ghost Rider" with a lot of green screen. But Nolan's filming of Daredevil also rejected green screens, which were all time-consuming and labor-intensive live-action shooting... Really? Probably not, certainly not. Tang En almost exploded, gritted his teeth and said, "I should cut your budget by another $50 million. I don't think you need a green screen! It's abhorrent to use the money of investors to manage your filmmakers' pursuit!" "You Not a filmmaker?" Tim Burton looked surprised. Tang En blushed, and said angrily: "When I shoot "The Avengers," it is always green screen!" Please remember the domain name of the book's first release: . Mobile version reading website:
