Head to head Hollywood 820 author Qian Duxue Full text 3526 words

"Catwoman" became the first big joke this summer. This superhero movie with a production cost of up to 100 million US dollars was released for three days. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was only 43%, and the imdb score was 5.3 points, which is called a bad movie! The box office also responded in real terms. The North American box office in the first weekend was only $14 million. By contrast, "Bourne Bourne 2," which was released on the same day and cost only $75 million, opened at $53 million, almost four times that of "Catwoman"! The market reputation is also thrown away a lot. On Rotten Tomatoes, 39 media gave scores, of which 30 were fresh, 9 were rotten, and the freshness was as high as 77%! The user rating on imdb was once as high as 7.8 points! Definitely a must-see in action-themed movies! At the celebration reception of "Ghost Rider", Dunn saw Matt Damon, but he didn't give him a good face, and said lightly: "Have Weinstein been cleaned up?" T. Damon said slightly bitterly: "Except for the more than $700,000 in dividends that Miramax owed me, those contacts in the past have been cut off." Dunn nodded, "By the way, you How much is the salary in "The Bourne Bourne 2"?" "$10 million." "Are you satisfied?" "Uh..." Matt Damon hesitated, not sure what Dunn meant. Of course, the more money, the better! Tang En said: "You are Natalie's senior, and you take good care of her. I know all this." Matt Damon was relieved and showed a smile, "It should be, it should be." Tang Enqing With a light "um", "The Bourne Bourne is a great movie series, as long as you stick to it, you are fully qualified to receive a salary of 20 million US dollars when it comes to The Bourne Bourne 4. Your Hollywood career, too. There will be a rapid development and become a real first-line star. However, the premise is not to take the wrong road, and to have a clear judgment, understand?" Give a sweet date and slap again. With the means of both grace and power, Dunn has already played with perfection. Matt Damon immediately assured: "I understand that people like Harvey Weinstein will never have anything to do with me in the future. Director Tarantino's handling of this matter was very bad." Dunn was satisfied with his statement, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Filming well, your future will be full of light!" After hitting Matt Damon, Dunn walked over to Clive Owen. . He is the superhero "Ghost Rider"! Seeing Dunn, Clive Owen's tall and large body immediately humbled himself, bent slightly, smiled respectfully and said, "Mr. Walker..." Dunn glanced at the two people next to him, After "chasing" away, he smiled slightly, and if he had a deep meaning, he said, "That Paramount movie is about to be released, right?" This summer, two commercial blockbusters starring Clive Owen will be released! In addition to Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider, there's Paramount's King Arthur! For Clive Owen, who turns 40, it's definitely a late bloomer. Back then, he shot an advertisement for a BMW car, showing off his masculine charm. He was quickly favored by Hollywood and took on many small roles. The year before last, with a twist of fate, he took over the Marvel Studios project "Ghost Rider"! Last year, he received another invitation from Jerry Bruckheimer to shoot the historical blockbuster "King Arthur"! This is simply a step-by-step rhythm! However, how can things be so simple? Who doesn't know that Dunn and Paramount are hostile to Jerry Bruckheimer? Clive Owen felt guilty and said embarrassingly: "Yes... Yes, it will be released this week." Dunn glanced at him and said lightly: "Do you know why I didn't stop you?" How did Reeve Owen know? Last year, "Ghost Rider" had not been released yet. He was still a small person in Hollywood. He couldn't afford Dunn, and he couldn't afford Jerry Bruckheimer either! "Yes... is it to give me a chance to develop?" "That's right." Tang En smiled. Clive Owen smiled naively, thinking that it would not be so simple. Sure enough, I listened to Dunn's voice and said solemnly: "There are some things, if you don't experience and learn a lesson, you won't have a memory. Cliff, you are the actor I like, I will put 'Ghost Rider' It is given to you because you think you will have a great career prospect. However, without experiencing some setbacks, you will not understand the importance of Marvel to your career as a morning star." Clive Owen responded for a while, Suddenly his eyes widened, "Frustration? Mr. Walker, you mean...you mean that "King Arthur" movie will fail?" "Of course!" "Have you seen that movie?" "Need it?" "Uh "..." Clive Owen was suddenly dumbfounded. There was a flash of contempt between Tang En's eyebrows, and he said lightly: "Jerry Bruckheimer is finished, and the market has already proven that his set is outdated. But Paramount does not believe in evil, and still thinks about it. 'Reviving the great cause of Paramount. Wait for the result, you will see the reality clearly." It should be beaten, it must be beaten! Matt Damon experienced Harvey Weinstein and felt a career crisis, so he could honestly cooperate with Universal Pictures to shoot the "Bourne Bourne" series. This is an old project of Universal Pictures, and it just signed 3 film contracts according to industry practice. Don't give him a sense of crisis, let him recognize the reality, and when the three films are finished, he will have to open his mouth if he can't make it. Clive Owen's signing party is Marvel, and Dunn is the leader. Of course, he is very loud, and he signed 5 copies in one go. However, this guy is a bit ambitious. When he was cooperating with Marvel Studios, he also wanted to cooperate with Paramount and wanted to be a wallist! How can this work? King Arthur is a lesson! After this fiasco, he must be able to understand the great role of Marvel Studios in his career. This summer, Paramount will release two commercial blockbusters: "King Arthur" and "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snitch." It can be said that these two films are the last blow of Redstone's "Revival Paramount" plan! It is also the last hope to solve Viacom's current predicament! It's a pity that what he entrusted was not human. Fate is a monster. ... "Dawn, I can't wait to cancel the cooperation with Warner! It's so annoying!" Michael Ovitz was holding a glass of red wine, a little drunk, and his words were a little heavy. Dunn laughed: "Is it because of 'Catwoman'?" Michael Ovitz said angrily: "I was firmly opposed to this project at the beginning, especially against letting a black man play 'Catwoman'! What happened? It became Hollywood's big joke! If it wasn't for the one-package deal signed with Warner, I would have liked to end the cooperation with Warner on platter investment." Tang En said in disapproval: "Okay, since it is an investment, there is no reason to only make money and not lose money. Don't think I don't know, in the past few years, the "Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings" series alone have made a lot of money for Legendary Pictures. Platter investment, it is originally a big-end-take-all strategy." Michael Ovitz said with a painful face: "But "Catwoman" is also a big investment! Legendary Pictures invested a full $30 million!" Dunn asked suspiciously: "Michael, tell me the truth, "Catwoman" What the **** is going on with the project "Woman"? I don't believe Alan Horn can do such a stupid thing." Alan Horn is a great talent, the proponent and practitioner of the real "explosive theory" in his previous life, Tang En has been thinking about poaching him from Warners to take over from Bill McNick. Michael Ovitz curled his lips, showing a touch of contempt, and pointed up, "It's a higher-level decision, Horn resisted, but like me, there's nothing I can do. Marvel Studios has driven the whole of New Universal. Revenue, brand value and the expansion of derivative channels, Time Warner hopes that DC can also have this effect." "Leaping the commander?" Dunn is a little bit unconvinced. Michael Ovitz said: "It's Barry Mayer. You know, that man... is from an administrative background, and can give up all dignity for the sake of profit, and he is also the best at building a good relationship with leaders. Horn is because he has himself too much. It was only because of his persistence that he was defeated in the competition for the position of CEO of Warner Bros." Dunn nodded, "Barry Mayer...he is currently busy spending 40 million US dollars to acquire Dimen Pictures from Disney and take over Where is Harvey Weinstein's team. For the sake of profit, it's really courageous!" Michael Ovitz frowned whispered: "Dawn, the Weinstein thing is a bit out of bounds. , it's time to close. Including Jimmy Savile, this is a blow to the image of the entire entertainment industry!" "No hurry, let's ferment for a while, and then I'll talk about it when I come back from Korea." Dunn waved his hand. The Jimmy Savile affair has a lot of benefits for Dunn. The BBC's soft apology is only one aspect. It can also reduce a lot of unnecessary public relations for Liverpool's acquisition. With all the media in the UK focusing on Jimmy Savile, it is serious to quickly finalize Liverpool. As for the image of the entire entertainment industry...it doesn't matter, Dunn still has his back. The third fire promised to the "New York Times" has not yet been released. "You're going to South Korea?" Michael Ovitz blinked and said thoughtfully, "Well, it's time to go. Although South Korea has a small population, its ticket capacity is not weaker than Japan." The Korean box office of "Ghost Rider" has exceeded 30 million US dollars?" In terms of ticket capacity, Japan is stronger than South Korea. However, Japan's film culture is more mature, and they are keen on films with delicate, warm and smooth plots, which is a typical Japanese film style. I don't like special effects blockbusters. In contrast, South Korea is an emerging movie market and has no unique movie culture. It has almost no resistance to Hollywood commercial blockbusters! Tang En smiled, "Forget it, South Korea's film industry is booming, and special effects industrial parks are also being built, which are considered Hollywood's backyard." This is only part of it. Because the iPhone project has been formalized! Making a mobile phone can be very complicated. Apple has sent a negotiating team, represented by Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, to Asia to discuss cooperation on mobile phone screens. Dunn, as one of the biggest promoters of the iPhone, wants to get involved! Please remember this book's first domain name: . Mobile version reading website:
