Chapter 499： The strongest summer movie

How can everyone betray their relatives?

The current situation of Ryan seems to confirm this in the eyes of outsiders. With the exception of small retail shareholders such as Drew, who are completely negligible, it seems that everyone at Pixar has abandoned him and invested in Disney's embrace.

Because of the uncertainty in the follow-up, both sides remained silent for the time being. Apart from being a little surprised by Nicole Kidman’s choice, those in the know were not surprised. After all, this is the most realistic Hollywood. The benefits that can be brought must be greater than that of a young man in his early twenties. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

The media on both sides of the Atlantic are still hyping the Manchester United acquisition. Several fan organizations that hold shares in Manchester United have publicly stated that they will never sell their shares. After the Red Football company announced its abandonment of leveraged buyouts, its actions have also slowed down. Obviously Insufficient funds.

Everything shows that Ryan has fallen into a huge acquisition quagmire and is unable to get rid of it in a short period of time.

As for Michael Eisner's proposal, although Ryan wants to transfer the equity in his hand to Disney, in terms of method and time, he will never follow the other party's expected thinking.

A successful animation company is too important to Disney. Michael Eisner kidnapped Disney's board of directors. Ryan will use the same method to promote the following plan.

In the face of large enough interests, will they abandon Michael Eisner?

This is not anxious, even if you want to oust Michael Eisner, you still need a vote of no confidence in the Disney shareholders meeting.

He is waiting. He has reserved a lot of backhands. Google, which has more funds than today, has developed sudu faster, and has attracted the coveting of Wall Street. His team and Wall Street investment institutions that are eager to get a share are actively planning Google’s listing. .

After meeting with Michael Eisner, Ryan temporarily put these aside, after all, as one of the highlight of this year, "The Lord of the Rings" is about to be released.

After the film entered June, it began a wide range of publicity and hype. Although a lot of plot changes have led to some **** book fans claiming to boycott the movie, the vast majority of book fans said that they would go to the theater to watch the movie because they believe that Ryan will never bring a bad movie. .

In fact, since the release of the trailer, the magnificent scenery and fantasy colors have attracted a lot of attention. Some critics even believe that this movie will become the biggest box office winner this year.

In addition to the boss, Ryan, the chief creators of the crew including Peter Jackson. Recently, he has frequently appeared in major media, using his own skills to promote this magical masterpiece.

Of course, Charlize Theron is not among them.

Since the filming of "The Devil" in May, this beautiful diamond has been devoted to the work of restoring the body in strict accordance with the plan made by the nutritionist and the shaper.

No matter what kind of woman she is, she doesn't want to really become a devil.

Before leaving the fitness room and coming out of the locker room, Charlize admired his body in front of the full-length mirror. After nearly a month of hard work, he almost completely restored his original figure.

Putting on her formal attire, she went downstairs to the living room, where Ryan was chatting with Drew Barrymore who came to visit.

"Hey. Charlie." Drew beckoned to her, "You recovered so quickly, is there any secret?"

With a friendly smile, Charlize sat beside Ryan.

Listening to the two women discussing how to stay in shape, Ryan simply closed his mouth, in his opinion. Drew's figure is almost hopeless.

With the increase of age, the signs of Drew's blessing become more and more obvious. In fact, it is normal. This is a common problem for people who have successfully detoxified.

"No way..." Drew pointed to his puffy eye bags and said helplessly, "I have been busy with the post-production of "Charlie Girl 2" recently. The production cost of this film alone has reached 100 million US dollars. If I fail, I will not lose a villa, I will really go bankrupt."

"The house hasn't been settled yet?" Ryan asked concerned.

"I don't want the original house anymore." Drew sighed, "I can't find a suitable place for the time being, so I have to live in the Four Seasons Hotel first."

"Sell the original place." Both parties are old friends for nearly ten years, and Ryan is not polite. "By the way, throw away all the bad memories."

In fact, in recent years, this inconspicuous guy in his life has been a lot more serious. He started dating a little actor named Tom Green more than a year ago, and got married in December last year. After marriage, Drew completely followed his former actor. The female partner severed the relationship and showed determination to run a family well.

In this regard, Spielberg also sighed that his goddaughter has finally grown up.

However, bad luck has always enveloped the Barrymore family like a curse. Tom Green suffered from bladder cancer. Fortunately, it was not serious, and he recovered his health under Drew's careful care.

Just when the media and Hollywood believed that Drew had found his true life, a ruthless fire destroyed all of this.

Just a few months ago, Drew had a fire in his three million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills. It was late at night when Drew and Tom Green were sleeping without even noticing that they had a pet dog. He rushed into the bedroom and awakened the two people, and then he was out of danger in time.

The fire caused no casualties, but burned down the house, burned down their home, and burned the remaining feelings of the two.

Last month, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green formally agreed to divorce, and then devoted themselves to work.

"By the way, Ryan."

After the two sides turned back to the film side, Drew remembered one thing, "I have bought the film adaptation rights for that book."

"What book?" Charlize asked curiously.

"A novel that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999."

Regarding Drew’s ability at work, Ryan has always been relieved. At this time, he explained a few words to Charlize, "The Moment, the author is Michael Cunningham."

"It's the author who wrote "House of Doom"?" Charlize had obviously heard of him.

"Ryan, he asked to participate in script writing." Drew Fang placed the coffee cup in his hand, "This is one of the conditions for getting the right to adapt the film."

"The movie will be handed over to Flower Pictures." Looking at Charlize, Ryan raised his index finger to Drew and said solemnly, "Start preparations according to our predetermined plan."

With the production of movies, one after another sold. Ryan is having more and more difficulties in obtaining the right to adapt other people's works. Few people who can write published works are idiots. As long as Jenkins Pictures finds it, they will all offer a sky-high price.

"Charlie, go to Rodel Street?"

After talking about business, Drew stopped Charlize when he left, "It will be the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" soon, don't you prepare a few more dresses for yourself and Ryan?"

"Okay." Charlize responded.

Although after moving here, the clothes are basically custom-made. But shopping and sweeping goods is undoubtedly a big pleasure for women.

The hot summer season has already kicked off. The most anticipated movie at the moment is none other than "The Lord of the Rings", but the competition for this time period is extremely fierce.

Broadly speaking, the summer vacation in North America can count May. Among the movies released in May, "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is the most important production.

Because of being in England and other factors at the time, Ryan did not attend the premiere of the film. This film can be said to have swept the May schedule, although the box office in the first week still did not break the $100 million mark that the outside world expected. . But the achievement of more than 90 million US dollars is enough to make the producers and distributors celebrate.

To put it bluntly, the word-of-mouth of the movie is worse than one, but the box office is better than one. In just six weeks, the film won over 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, successfully surpassing "Man Hundred Percent" and became the highest-grossing film this year.

Nicole has two consecutive movies released. The North American box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, once again proving its unparalleled appeal in commercial films.

At the beginning of June, another super production landed in North America. This is the war epic "Pearl Harbor" that DreamWorks has placed high hopes on. The production and promotion costs are as high as $200 million.

According to DreamWorks’ estimates, the North American box office of this movie is at least comparable to "Saving Private Ryan". In fact, the film performed well in the first week. The North American box office number of 75.17 million became the second highest this year. Box office in the first week.

Corresponding to the box office, but the movie's reputation is extremely poor.

Vocabulary such as ‘Fan Shan can be Chen’, ‘light and tasteless’, and ‘loose and banal’ are the common views of almost all film critics, and even the "Washington Post" directly gave the film a "boring!" Boring! Boring! The alias of ", reminds the audience to choose a seat next to the aisle when entering the venue, because they have to go to the toilet at least twice when watching the film.

With the development of information and the increasing freedom of the Internet, professional film reviews and media word-of-mouth have less and less influence on the box office of movies. Even if the film critics criticize the movie as worthless, as long as the audience finds it interesting, they will still choose this one. the film.

The biggest thing about "Pearl Harbor" is while not discussing the critics’ likes, but at the same time, it did not please the audience. That **** love triangle became the most criticized place, too long and dull plot. Seriously affected the viewing experience of ordinary audiences.

This result brought a huge drop in the box office of the movie in the second week of the year, with only more than 29 million U.S. dollars in harvest, and it fell to more than 14 million in the third week...

Regardless of the reputation of the movie, the three leading actors became the people who benefited the most, especially Kate Beckinsale, who unexpectedly became another English rose in the mouth of the media.

No matter how you look at it, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" does not surpass that of "Saving Private Ryan". Some media can't wait to compare this movie to Michael Bay's Waterloo. DreamWorks' ambitions have obviously been hit a little. , They are now busy with overseas release plans, hoping that this film can make a turnaround in the overseas market.

As for the North American box office, DreamWorks obviously does not think it can make a difference, because it is about to face the strongest competitor this summer. (To be continued...)
