America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 346 344. PUA Crazy Girl, Six Eras

"OMG! OMG! Catch me! Catch me!"

Elizabeth yelled while rolling 360 degrees in the air, and finally fell to the ground.

Eric and Ashley slid over and helped her up.

"Elizabeth, how is it? Are you okay?" Ashley asked with concern.

Pah!

Spitting out the snow in her mouth, Ao Mei patted her body: "Nothing, it seems that skiing is not as simple as I thought."

At this time, Nicole came closer: "You are too fast, Elizabeth, I can't catch up with you, you'd better stay with me first."

Ao Mei made a bitter face: "I don't want to go that fast, but I can't stop!"

"Nothing, beginners are like this, let's take it slowly, do you want to continue?"

"Of course, falling down won't make me give up. In fact, I also practiced boxing and wrestling in my spare time. This pain is nothing."

Eric wiped the snow stains on her hair: "Relax, don't hurt yourself, you still have to make a movie when you go back."

"That "Juno"? " Nicole asked.

"Well, the script is carefully selected by me, a very novel angle. If Elizabeth performs well, maybe she can get a nomination for this year's Oscars."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ao Mei's voice instantly rose several octaves.

"Trust your husband's judgment, I never make mistakes!"

"But it should be a nomination at most, but even if it is a nomination, you will make history at the age of 16."

"So don't hurt yourself, our movie must be released during the Christmas season."

"Otherwise you will have to wait until you are 17 to create this record."

The youngest person nominated for Best Actress in history is Quvenzhané Wallis, who was nominated for Best Actress in 2012 for "Beasts of the Southern Wild" when she was only 9 years old.

The second youngest is Keisha Castle-Hughes, the heroine of "Whale Rider". The little girl won the Best Actress nomination at the age of 13.

Eric bought "Whale Rider" from the Sundance Film Festival, but that year MGM focused on Ashley, Mary and Theron.

There was not much publicity for "Whale Rider", so this Best Actress nomination naturally did not happen.

And there are still several years before "Beasts of the Southern Wild", so as long as "Juno" is successful, Elizabeth will be equivalent to making history.

Ellen Page of the original time and space won a Best Actress nomination for "Juno". Eric believes that after his training, Amy O'Neal can also do it.

"Is there a role suitable for me in the movie? I can make a cameo appearance." Nicole said.

"It's too late, dear. The roles have been cast, unless they suddenly have an accident."

Theron also slid over: "By the way, didn't you promise me that you would write another script for me and let me win another Best Actress?"

"What! You want to help Theron win another Best Actress!" Ashley's eyes widened.

She waved and greeted, and Mary and Gadot quickly approached.

"Are you kidding me? Ashley and I only got nominations, but Charlize Theron has one. You should compensate us. We need Oscars."

Gadot spread her hands: "Hello? Have you all ignored me? I am the one who needs the Oscar the most."

"You two at least have Golden Globe trophies, but I don't even have a Golden Globe nomination. Whoever wants those popcorn trophies can have them."

"If that's the case, I also need a Best Actress trophy." Nicole pouted.

Charlize Theron frowned immediately: "But you already have two."

"Yes, but although I have two, the first one was brought to me by "The Hours", and the director was not Eric, and the movie was not from MGM."

"Your "Monster" was specially created by Eric. If he creates another script for you, I want it too!"

"No, I am the one who needs it most."

"But your box office is the highest, isn't that enough?"

"It's because I already have the box office that I want more honor now."

"You are too greedy, Gadot, you can't have both."

Watching the six people start arguing about the little golden man, Eric smiled helplessly.

Then he calmed down the scene strongly, it was time to show the man's aura.

He hugged Ashley and Mary and kissed them hard on the face: "Your actress will have a baby, but I need you to focus on the company first."

"I just acquired Lucasfilm, we have Indiana Jones and Star Wars, did you hear me? That's Star Wars."

"Star Wars can sell well all over the world, and Star Wars has created tens of billions of peripheral profits. Hurry up and help us make money."

"After acquiring Warner at the end of this month, there are still a lot of copyrights to be developed. I don't think you will have time to make movies in the next one or two years."

"Tens of billions of dollars and an Oscar trophy, what will you choose?"

As he said, his tone slowed down: "You know that the actress will be born every year."

The two sisters looked at each other and finally nodded: "OK! We will manage the company well, but remember that you owe us a trophy!"

"Of course, go and enjoy this vacation, you won't have time when you go home, take Elizabeth with you, and you two will protect her together, I think nothing will happen."

After sending the three sisters away, Eric looked at Theron sincerely: "Dear, you just heard it, I have too many things on my shoulders now."

"After filming Dragon Ball, I really can't spare the time to start a new film in the second half of the year."

"This vacation was squeezed out with great difficulty. If I hadn't discussed work with Peter Jackson, I would definitely not come."

"And why am I doing this? Of course, it's for our family. Can you understand?"

Being stared at by him, Theron quickly gave in: "Okay, but remember that you also owe me an award for Best Actress."

After that, she kissed Eric on the face and chased after the three sisters with light steps.

After getting Theron, Eric opened his arms and hugged Gadot, gently stroking her hair like brushing a dog's fur.

"Look at you, look at you little guy."

"It's just a Best Actress trophy, what can it prove? Box office is the proof of popularity."

"How many people can't remember their names even if they won the Best Actress award."

"And what does an actor really need? Do you know, baby?"

Gadot looked up and looked at him with big eyes.

"I tell you, it's to be remembered by the audience, to store you in their memory, and to recall your appearance when they see your name."

"The Oscars are available every year, but a movie that sells well all over the world may not be available every year."

"You envy them for having trophies, but in fact they envy you more for having box office."

"But. But I still want the trophy." Gadot pouted and whispered.

"Honey, you just haven't understood what I mean."

"Listen, I will make you the highest-grossing actress in the world."

"What does the highest represent? It means that there is only one in the world, and it represents the pinnacle."

"And there will be at least one Best Actress every year, so which of these two honors do you want more?"

"When the Warner matter is settled, I will develop the DC movie universe. Do you remember what I promised you? On the plane when I took you back to the United States."

Gadot recalled: "You mean that role!"

"Yes, I said that every actor has his destined role, and yours will be Wonder Woman."

"So why do I have to acquire Warner? Because I want to give it to you as a gift."

"Oh"

Hearing this, Gadot felt that her heart was about to melt, and she immediately hugged Eric tightly with emotion: "Thank you! You are so thoughtful, honey."

"Okay, go and play."

After getting another one, he turned to look at Neeko, who also looked at him as if watching a play.

"You are getting more and more clever, you fooled them all."

"But I am not so easy to be fooled by you. You said that the best actress is nothing, then what are my two trophies!"

Listening to Neeko's mumbling, Eric said nothing and suddenly reached out to grab her.

"Come with me!"

"What! Wait, where are you taking me?"

"In the woods, I want to make your belly bigger!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Neeko quickly looked at the backs of the people who were leaving: "Hurry up, we have to hurry up."

It was the beginning of July, and the tide of Jedi Knights slowly receded in the cinema,

but the audience will not feel bored, because there will be new blockbusters to fill the place.

After the disastrous failure of "Mulan 2", Disney once again sent out another animated movie "Chicken Little" that it worked hard on.

This movie cost more, with a production cost of 150 million US dollars, and it has been widely promoted in the past month.

It can be seen that Mickey Mouse urgently needs to fight a beautiful comeback.

But the more anxious Disney is, the more MGM will suppress him.

Eric sent out "Twilight" to snipe.

Also choosing this time slot is DreamWorks' new film "Escape from the Island", a big production brought by Explosive Bay, Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, with an investment of 120 million US dollars.

On the big screen, on one side, 3D Chicken is experiencing its own adolescence, looking at the heroic father, the deceased mother and the weak self, looking for a way to become stronger.

On the other side, McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, who look like Jude Law, cracked the mystery of the clones and staged a good show of beautiful cars and beautiful women.

There is also a bloody story of youth love between a handsome vampire and a sweet girl on campus.

The three movies seem to have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they belong to completely different tracks.

From a traditional point of view, animation suitable for all ages is obviously easier to be recognized, and the theme of describing the confusion of youth is definitely the first choice for family viewing.

Although the explosion of beautiful cars and beautiful women is an old-fashioned cliché, it is enduring.

Especially for men, although Scarlett Johansson has not played the role of Black Widow, she is already the dream goddess of many people.

This is her first time to try commercial blockbusters, and it is also a publicity point full of gimmicks. Everyone wants to see how the artistic goddess performs commercially.

And the love between vampires and humans, please, is even more old-fashioned than the explosion of Bay, and this kind of theme has been filmed for almost a hundred years.

Except for "Interview with the Vampire", there is no real global hit.

And why is "Interview with the Vampire" so good and popular?

This is not bullshit. If you can find the peak Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, you can also be a big hit.

But the problem is that you can only find Henry Cavill and Blake Lively. Please, I haven't heard of the actors' names. What corner did this little Karami jump out of?

So before the three blockbusters were released, various analysis agencies generally believed that "Twilight" would be the first to fail, and the battle would revolve around "Escape from the Island" and "Chicken Little".

However, as the box office results for a week came out, the audience and film critics' reputations were lifted, and a shocking scene appeared.

The first to fail was not "Twilight", but "Escape from the Island".

The audience and the media rarely agreed, and jointly denounced the movie as boring and ugly.

Not to mention those reviews that cursed and used dirty words, even the San Francisco Daily News, which had a milder tone, gave the comment that "this is a mediocre story".

Explosive Bay seems to have lost his former spirituality, and people miss his "The Rock".

Since "Pearl Harbor", he has been living off his old capital and going downhill, wasting the beauty of Black Widow in vain.

The box office revenue for the week was only a disgraceful 12.1 million US dollars. DreamWorks made a lot of money last year, but this time it was a mistake.

The box office failed to such an extent that all subsequent publicity was stopped.

Scarlett Johansson also stayed indoors. Although not many people blamed her, this was her first time to try a commercial blockbuster.

The first shot was a failure, and the road ahead would be difficult. It is not a big deal to just focus on acting skills and not box office.

Finally, she was caught by reporters on Friday. She was embarrassed and perfunctory, and finally changed the subject.

"Although the movie has some impact on me, it doesn't matter. I will put all my energy into the role of Black Widow in the future. I hope the audience will give me another chance."

After "Escape from the Island" failed, "Chicken Little", which was the most optimistic in the market, was not immune.

The box office was acceptable, winning more than 40 million US dollars, but the reputation was not good.

The audience criticized the plot for being too old-fashioned and adding too many funny jokes that made people feel sick, but it did not achieve the desired effect.

The children were not amused, let alone the adults.

Fortunately, the media reviews were good, but unfortunately the media could not bring high box office.

The biggest winner turned out to be "Twilight", which no one was optimistic about.

Its treatment was exactly the opposite of "Chicken Little".

The media and film critics almost criticized it one-sidedly.

Bloody, clichéd, plagiarized, stiff and artificial acting, rough picture composition, in short, these were all labeled as "Twilight".

But the audience, especially teenage female audiences, liked it very much.

The reason given by those who liked it was also very consistent, that is, Henry Cavill was so damn handsome.

Look at his charming face, the melancholy temperament that occasionally frowned, the nobility of British blood, the feelings in his eyes and the perfect figure.

Every point can hit the heart of a little girl.

Handsome!

Handsome to the point of falling off!

Countless girls fantasized that they would kick the heroine Bella away and lie on Edward's chest at night.

Even if he was a hole-sucking ghost, he might bite himself.

But who can make him handsome and attractive?

So with the help of this group of crazy girls, "Twilight" won the weekly championship and earned 65.5 million US dollars at the box office.

The cost of the movie was only 30 million US dollars, which shocked everyone.

While major institutions and media were analyzing why "Twilight" was a big hit, another major event that shook the world film industry was born.

Warner Bros. Pictures officially changed its owner, and Hollywood entered the six eras.
