Heads Up Hollywood

"Catwoman" became the first big joke of this summer file.

This superhero movie with a production cost of up to 100 million U.S. dollars was released for three days. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 43%, and the imdb score is 5.3 points, which can be called a bad movie!

The box office also reacted in a real way. The North American box office in the first weekend was only 14 million US dollars.

In contrast, "The Bourne 2", which was released on the same day and cost only US$75 million, opened to a box office of US$53 million, almost four times that of "Catwoman"!

The word-of-mouth in the market has even dropped a lot.

On Rotten Tomatoes, 39 media outlets rated it, of which 30 were fresh and 9 were rotten, with a freshness of 77%!

The user rating on imdb was once as high as 7.8 points!

Definitely a must-see in action-themed movies!

At the "Ghost Rider" celebration reception, Tang En saw Matt Damon, but he didn't give him a good face, and said indifferently: "Harvey Weinstein, is everything cleaned up?"

Matt Damon said bitterly: "Except for a dividend of more than 700,000 U.S. dollars owed to me by Miramax, the past connections have all been severed."

Tang En nodded, "By the way, how much is your salary in "Bourne Shadow 2"?"

"Ten million dollars."

"satisfied?"

"Well……"

Matt Damon hesitated to speak, not sure what Tang En meant.

For things like money, of course, the more the better!

Tang En said: "You are Natalie's senior, and you take good care of her. I know all of this."

Matt Damon felt relieved, showing a smile, "It should, it should."

Tang En gave a soft "Yeah", ""The Bourne Movie" is a great movie series, as long as you stick to it, you are fully qualified to get 20 million US dollars in "Bourne Shadow 4". Your Hollywood The career will also develop by leaps and bounds and become a real first-line star. However, the prerequisite is not to go astray and to have a clear judgment, understand?"

Give a sweet date, and slap me again.

Tang En has already mastered the method of using both grace and power.

Matt Damon immediately assured: "I understand that I will never have anything to do with people like Harvey Weinstein in the future. Director Tarantino's handling of this matter is very bad."

Tang En was satisfied with his statement, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Film well, your future will be bright!"

After beating Matt Damon, Dunn walked up to Clive Owen.

He is the superhero "Ghost Rider"!

Seeing Tang En, Clive Owen's tall and tall body immediately humbled himself, bent slightly, and said with a respectful smile, "Mr. Walker..."

Tang En glanced at the two people next to him, and after "chasing" them away, he smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Is that Paramount movie going to be released soon?"

This summer, there will be two commercial blockbusters starring Clive Owen released!

In addition to Marvel Pictures' "Ghost Rider", there is also Paramount's "King Arthur"!

For Clive Owen, who has turned 40, he is definitely a late bloomer.

Back then, he took a picture of a BMW advertisement, showing off his masculine charm. It was quickly favored by Hollywood and took on many small roles.

The year before last, his fate turned around and he took over the filming of Marvel Studios' project "Ghost Rider"!

Last year, he received an invitation from Jerry Bruckheimer to shoot the historical blockbuster "King Arthur"!

This is simply the rhythm of ascending to the sky in one step!

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."

Tang En glanced at him, and said lightly: "Do you know why I didn't stop you back then?"

Clive Owen didn't know!

Last year, "Ghost Rider" hadn't been released yet, and he was still a small figure in Hollywood. He couldn't afford Tang En, and neither could Jerry Bruckheimer!

"Yes... give me a chance to develop?"

"That's right."

Tang En smiled.

Clive Owen smiled foolishly, thinking that it would not be that simple.

Sure enough, Tang En's voice changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Some things, if you don't experience them yourself, you won't remember them. Cliff, you are my favorite actor. I will make 'Ghost Rider' Handing it over to you, I think you will have a great career prospect. However, without experiencing some setbacks, you will never understand the importance of Marvel to your career like a morning star."

Clive Owen reacted for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Frustration? Mr. Walker, you mean... You mean the movie "King Arthur" will fail?"

"certainly!"

"Have you seen that movie?"

"do you need?"

"Well……"

Clive Owen was dumbfounded.

A look of contempt flashed across Tang En's brows, and he said lightly: "Jerry Bruckheimer is finished. The market has already proved that his methods are outdated. But Paramount doesn't believe in evil, and still thinks about it." 'Reviving Paramount's great cause. Wait for the results and you'll see the reality."

What should be beaten must be beaten!

Matt Damon experienced Harvey Weinstein's incident and felt a career crisis, so he could honestly cooperate with Universal Pictures to film the "Bourne Shadow" series.

This is an old project of Universal Pictures, but it only signed three film contracts in accordance with industry practice.

Don't give him a sense of crisis, let him recognize the reality, and when the three films are finished, he will be a lion if he can't keep them all.

Clive Owen's contracting party was Marvel, led by Twain. Of course, the tone was very loud, and he signed 5 films in one go.

However, this guy is a bit ambitious. When he was cooperating with Marvel Pictures, he also wanted to co-operate with Paramount, wanting to be a fencer!

How can this work?

"King Arthur" is a lesson!

After this fiasco, he must be able to understand the important role of Marvel Pictures in his career.

This summer, Paramount will launch two commercial blockbusters: "King Arthur" and "Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Adventures."

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 is not human.

Fate is a monster.

...

"Twain, I can't wait to cancel the cooperation with Warner! It's so exasperating!" Michael Ovitz was holding a glass of red wine, a little drunk, and his words were a little heavy.

Tang En laughed and said, "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'! How did it turn out? It became a big joke in Hollywood! If it wasn't for the fact that I signed with Warner as a package package Agreement, I can't wait to terminate the platter investment cooperation with Warner."

Tang En said disapprovingly: "Okay, since it's an investment, how can there be any 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 become legends." The film industry has made a lot of money. Assorted investment is originally a strategy of taking everything."

Michael Ovitz said with a painful face: "But "Catwoman" is also a big investment! Legendary Pictures invested a total of 30 million US dollars!"

Tang En asked suspiciously: "Michael, tell me the truth, what is going on with the "Catwoman" project? I don't believe that Alan Horn can do such a stupid thing."

Alan Horn is a great talent, the real proposer and practitioner of the "explosive style theory" in his previous life. Tang En has been thinking of poaching him from Warner to take over Bill McNick's position.

Michael Ovitz curled his lips, showing a touch of contempt, and pointed upwards, "It's a higher-level resolution. Horn resisted, but he was helpless just like me. Marvel Studios drove the overall development of New Universal Revenue, brand value and derivative channel expansion, Time Warner hopes that DC can also achieve this effect."

"Leapfrog command?"

Dunn didn't quite believe it.

Michael Ovitz said: "It's Barry Meyer. You know, that person... is from an administrative background. He can give up all dignity for the sake of profit. He is also the best at building a good relationship with leaders. Horn is because he is too selfish It was because of his persistence that he was defeated in the competition for the position of Warner Bros. CEO."

Tang En nodded, "Barry Meyer...he is currently busy spending 40 million US dollars to acquire Dimension Films from Disney and take over Harvey Weinstein's team. For the sake of profit, he is really daring! "

Michael Ovitz frowned, and said in a low voice: "Dawn, the Weinstein matter is a bit out of line, and it's time to close it. Including Jimmy Savile's matter, this is a blow to the image of the entire entertainment industry!"

"There's no rush, let it ferment for a while, and we'll talk about it when I come back from Korea." Tang En waved his hand.

The matter of Jimmy Savile has benefited Dunn a lot. The BBC's soft apology is only one aspect. It can also reduce a lot of unnecessary public opinion and public relations for Liverpool's acquisition.

With the focus of the media all over the UK on Jimmy Savile, it is serious to settle on Liverpool as soon as possible.

As for the image of the entertainment industry as a whole...it doesn't matter, Twain still has someone behind him.

The third fire promised to the "New York Times" has not yet been fired.

"Are you going to South Korea?" Michael Ovitz blinked and said thoughtfully, "Well, I should go. Although South Korea has a small population, its ticketing capacity is not weaker than that of Japan. " The Korean box office of Ghost Rider has exceeded 30 million US dollars?"

In terms of ticket warehouse capacity, Japan is stronger than South Korea.

However, Japanese movie culture is more mature, and they are keen on delicate, warm, and smooth-plot movies, which is a typical Japanese movie style.

For blockbuster special effects, I don't like it.

In contrast, South Korea is an emerging film market and has no unique film culture. It has almost no resistance to Hollywood commercial blockbusters!

Tang En smiled, "Well, the film industry in South Korea is booming, and a special effects industrial park has also been established, which can be regarded as the back garden of Hollywood."

This is only part of it.

Because the iPhone project has been officially confirmed!

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.

As one of the biggest promoters of the iPhone, Dunn wanted to get involved!
