Chapter 830： Who am i

h2> "No one doubts the potential of "Avatar". Those boldest predictions have been broken. Ryan and Cameron have achieved an undefeated myth, whether it is based on the historical "Titanic" or The completely fictitious planet Pandora has become a popular event on Earth!"

When the time entered 2010, "Avatar" not only smashed into the global film market with an unstoppable momentum, but also appeared on the cover of "Time". No one doubted that this would be an epoch-making movie anymore. .

At least in the minds of ordinary audiences and Hollywood professionals, as Steven Soderbergh said, it is already possible to divide film history by "before "Avatar" and "after "Avatar".

Four weeks after "Avatar" was released in North America, the North American box office steadily passed the $500 million mark!

This is the second film in North American history with a box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars, and the other is "Titanic"!

In the same four weeks, "Avatar" swept the world as expected, with overseas box office exceeding 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaling up to 1,621.55 million U.S. dollars!

The film has only been in theaters for four weeks, and no one doubts that "Avatar" can challenge "Titanic"'s global box office record totaling $2.1 billion.

Those film critics who bad-mouthed "Avatar" were torn away the last fig leaf by the ruthless reality.

In the Chicago mansion, all the servants are careful. The person in the wheelchair has been in a bad mood since Christmas. Not only does he often get angry inexplicably, but occasionally tear the documents sent by the agent to pieces.

After so many ups and downs, Roger Albert found that he still could not calmly face the box office numbers and box office trends of "Avatar" that can only be described as horror. He always felt an anger burning in his heart, but it happened again. Unable to vent, the gloom on his face became thicker and thicker, and it was almost dripping with water.

Why does this movie go low and go high? Why give yourself hope? Why is Ryan Jenkins not finished?

When he saw the film’s North American midnight box office and first day box office, he really had a feeling of exuberance. This feeling has disappeared almost ten years ago. The cold reception encountered on the first day of "Avatar" even reminded him of himself. At that time, the major Hollywood companies, directors, big and small stars all flattered him, hoping to say a few good things for them in the film reviews, and some people even offered half a million dollars for this. The price code above.

At that time, he did not lack fame and money.

Although reason told him that the poor box office of "Avatar" on the first day was related to the snowstorm that spread to the east coast of North America and most of Europe, he has always had a fluke. He insisted that it was the collective criticism of film critics that caused this. The emergence of this situation is that the critics have affected the box office of the movie, and the critics have prevented the audience from entering the theater!

Not the so-called blizzard weather!

However, the facts will not change with personal wishes after all. "Avatar" has become a phenomenal film. Even if the group of film critics is supported by News Corporation, it still cannot prevent the film from crushing their group. The last bit of dignity.

Why is it so? Are we really outdated?

Roger Albert has never thought about it this way, but he never admits in his heart. He stubbornly believes that Ryan Jenkins is the curse they can't get around!

Couldn't I see Ryan Jenkins dying for the rest of my life?

As a leader in this industry, no one knows how much Roger Albert hates Ryan, who has seriously harmed their interests.

Sitting quietly in the wheelchair, Roger Albert has been swiping the pen in his hand unconsciously, without even realizing it. The paper on the notebook has been scratched by him, the black scars. , The true reflection of his heart and the same resentful face as his heart.

"Avatar" responded to the blow to them. It really hurts. It hurts more than "Star Wars" and "Titanic" combined. Although there is no ridicule of "Titanic", Roger Albert thinks of it. In addition to the auto-ignored past, he was also a member of "Star Wars" that year. George Lucas, whom they had always looked down upon and ridiculed, was like James Cameron, constantly reminding him of the success of "Star Wars" They—the self-proclaimed savvy film critics are actually nothing!

Roger Albert thought of News Corporation, which had entered a seven-figure account into his account, and suddenly felt that a lot of the clouds entwined in his heart had disappeared.

Obviously, News Corp is targeting Ryan Jenkins and Walt Disney.

Although he could not guess the reason, he felt a lot of joy in his heart. Perhaps the powerful News Corporation would help him out the bad breath that has been pressing in his heart from 2002 to the present, and let the unbelievable evil Ryan Jenkins. Disgraced reputation, fall into the dust!

I will open my eyes and wait to see that day!

Roger Albert told himself that he must overcome his illness and live tenaciously to that day, watching the Ryan Jenkins myth completely shattered!

In a short moment, the most famous film critic in the United States and even in the world, just like when commenting on many movies, he habitually ignored the scandal on "Avatar" and saw new hope.

If Ryan knew about it, he would definitely sigh, he is indeed a professional film critic with a thicker skin than rhino leather!

The snowstorm in New York has long stopped, and the work and life of the Big Apple returned to normal before Christmas last year. As a three-no-person-no column, no fixed job, no stable income-former well-known film critic David Deng It's harder than the recent days. As a former'celebrity', he rented an apartment in the famous Upper East Side of New York.

Now David Denby has to prepare to move. It is not easy to live in the Upper East Side. For tenants like him, not only need to have an identity, but also through the community or apartment building owner. The committee's review, without knowing when, the eyes of the people around him all changed.

Recently, his landlord and the committee in the community have notified him that he must move out within a time limit because he has been complained by many neighbors. No one wants to be a neighbor of a film critic who likes to talk and bites people like a mad dog. Going out will reduce the style of the community and damage their reputation!

David Denby was very angry. When did the film critic become a mad dog?

When he moved in, it was the most beautiful moment for film critics. Even the community of the Upper East Side, which pays much attention to tradition, expressed enough welcome for his arrival. Only ten years later, he has become Are they crazy dogs in their eyes?

When did film critics become a dispensable little role?

Standing in the living room of the apartment, David Denby looked a little dazed. He turned his head inadvertently and saw a copy of the "New York Times" on the table. The front page of the newspaper was the latest global box office of "Avatar"— —2.255 billion US dollars!

This record-breaking figure is like a big mouth full of sneers, laughing at their self-defeating ability!

Who am i? What can I do to go against Ryan Jenkins?

For a moment, David Denby regretted it. Why did he directly challenge Ryan Jenkins in the first place. Why didn't he maintain a good cooperative relationship with Disney like Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy?

If this is the case, will he be swept out of the Upper East Side?

On the third day when David Denby was forced to move out of the Upper East Side due to the pressure of the community committee, an old man and a middle-aged woman were also meditating in a villa not far from here.

It took 78-year-old Rupert Murdoch all his life to create the behemoth News Corp. He never concealed his ambitions and even wanted to swallow Time Warner. Unfortunately, the other party chose AOL. , Now the facts prove that this is a lose-lose result.

"It's already $2.3 billion."

Wendi Deng, who was sitting next to him, was flipping through the newspaper, "If Twentieth Century Fox can win the distribution rights, we can at least get $200 million from it."

"If it were replaced by us," Murdoch shook his head, "will Disney be allowed to share the proceeds?"

Wendi Deng was silent, turned a page, still did not hold back, "The sales of toys and other products have exceeded 500 million US dollars."

"I heard that James Cameron is preparing for a sequel." She added, "Can't we contact him? He had a good relationship with Twentieth Century Fox before, and we can secure Cameron's support first. Take this to put pressure on Ryan and Disney to join us in this project."

"There is no hope now." Murdoch could see more clearly than Deng Wendi, who had a relatively simple vision, "Rather than competing for these ethereal interests, it is better to swallow them as soon as possible."

"Disney is a strong opponentWendi Deng is not a fool either." Their contact with Lucasfilm has entered the stage of substantial negotiations. With the definite news, Ryan has been watching this. Even the "Avatar" celebration party did not attend. "

"I will let people find a way to divert the energy of him and Disney."

This one of the world's largest media giants has obviously planned everything, "Ryan cares about too many people and things, these will distract him, I will let him give up!"

"He..." Wendi Deng was a little worried, "It's not easy to deal with."

"Don't forget, I am not Michael Eisner."

Rupert Murdoch is full of confidence. He is completely different from Michael Eisner. After all, the other party is only the manager of Disney, and he is the real controller of News Corporation!

Lucasfilm has huge interests, and News Corp. cannot give up, even if its rival is Walt Disney. r1152
