Hollywood Drawing
Seven Hundred and Seventy-Three - Holds Guinness World Record for Most Money-Losing Movie
"Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood actress whose beauty and sexiness continues from her teenage years to today, a real Angelina Jolie that you don't know!
In the past two years, the news related to Angelina Jolie, except for her scandal with legendary Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg, seems to be the news that she has joined Warner Bros. in major projects one after another.
So much so that people seem to have forgotten that from her beauty as a girl to her fame in Hollywood, she was once recognized as a "bad girl" in everyone's eyes and the most completely depraved "second generation star"!
As a girl, Angelina Jolie was arrogant and frivolous in the shadow of a typical native family. This "second-generation star" comes from a privileged background. Her father is the famous Oscar-winning actor Jon Voyint, and her mother is the beautiful actress Malinche. However, Jolie does not seem to enjoy the happiness brought by her family.
As we all know, the marriages of Hollywood celebrities are always full of uncertainty, and the same is true for Angelina Jolie's family. When she was just 23 months old, her parents had divorced, and Julie and her brother, who were still infants, were sentenced to be given to their mother.
But her mother was not so dedicated to her. According to a reporter's investigation, Julie lived with her nanny on the fifth floor of an apartment for nearly two years when she was a child. Her mother lived on the second floor, and she almost ignored her, and the two of them had very little communication.
As a result, Angelina Jolie, who entered adolescence, became the "rebellious bad girl" we are familiar with. She has a rebellious and perverse personality. She loves tight black clothes and purple lipstick. She abuses herself to the point of suffering from depression. She has also been photographed by the media many times taking "contraband". And it was certain that Julie was already addicted at that time.
Then, Jon Voyint, the actor's father, wanted to prevent his daughter's decadence and self-abuse by taking her to participate in movies. But obviously the Oscar-winning actor didn't expect that his daughter's development after entering Hollywood would be even more out of his control.
Maybe they are all "suffering from mental illness"? On the road to self-imposed exile, Angelina Jolie met Wayne Greenberg, one of Hollywood's leading directors in the 1990s. Although the two of them have never admitted that they are in love, I am afraid that the whole of North America knows that the relationship between the two is not simple.
However, with her outstanding appearance, sexy figure, unruly and charming eyes, and Wayne Greenberg's well-known status in the industry, Angelina Jolie transformed into "Charlie's Angels". With this movie, In just a few months, she became the "sexy goddess" of countless North American male movie fans. At the same time, she completely opened up her popularity.
But all this was just the beginning. It had only been a few months since "Charlie's Angels" became a hit. When people paid attention to the actress again, she transformed again. This time she directly became one of the "Magical Big Three" of Justice. Heroine".
As for why she was able to get the role of Wonder Woman, everyone should have a clear answer in their hearts, because standing behind her is Hollywood's Wayne Greenberg!
Perhaps Angelina Jolie is not the first actress to reach stardom through Wayne Greenberg, but in terms of the heavyweight role of Wonder Woman, she is undoubtedly the luckiest one! According to the authoritative media "Variety" yesterday, "Wonder Woman" ranked second among the ten most anticipated movies of this summer's release!
However, no matter how dazzling Angelina Jolie's stardom has been in the past two years, she is probably still the "rebellious", "self-abuse" and "addicted to contraband" bad girl off the big screen!
According to the rumors about Wayne Greenberg over the past many years, can we boldly analyze that this is the reason why he loves this "bad girl"? ! Undoubtedly, if all the rumors about Wayne Greenberg are true, then the two people would indeed be extremely compatible with those speculations such as "the leader of the crew taking contraband" and "a habit of sadistic women".
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why a "rebellious bad girl" in reality can successfully play the role of "Wonder Woman" who represents justice..."
Angelina Jolie clenched the "Variety" in her hand tightly. As she continued to read, the fingers holding the magazine became bloodless due to excessive exertion, and even veins appeared on her wrists. At this time, her heart was filled with anger, and there was a trace of fear hidden in her eyes.
"This was all premeditated..."
While mumbling to herself, she crumpled the magazine into a ball.
No one is born to be self-destructive, and the same is true for Angelina Jolie. Yes, the reason why she was angry was because everything she said in the article in the magazine was true. In some respects, simply saying that she was once a "rebellious bad girl" was already very conservative. metaphor.
However, the two years she had been hanging out with Wayne made her seem to have forgotten the bad past. Now that it has been published in an authoritative and best-selling magazine, it is like opening up the scars deep in her heart bit by bit, showing Chi Luoluo to the public.
What frightens her even more is that in the entire article, it seems that all targets are aimed at her, but no matter who sees this special report, they will also notice Wayne at the first moment.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding."
A phone ringing interrupted Angelina Jolie's trance. She threw the bunched magazines aside, stood up and sat on the sofa next to the phone, took a few deep breaths, and then raised her hand to pick up the phone that kept ringing.
"Yes, I haven't read the other newspapers. Yes, I saw the report. It was all premeditated."
From the moment she picked up the phone, Angelina Jolie kept nodding, occasionally replying, and there was no hint of panic in her tone.
"I haven't gone out yet. Okay, I will stay at home and wait for notification. I promise that I will never go out for interviews easily, and I will never give the media a reason to continue to pursue you..."
In the Warner Building in Burbank, Nina hung up the phone in her hand and calmly put the mobile phone back into her handbag before looking at the man staring at her.
"She hasn't gone out yet, and she hasn't given any interviews to the media yet. I have already told her that she will wait for notification from us."
"F**k!"
Bruce Rosenblum, who was sitting on the sofa, swore angrily at this moment. He glanced at Wayne who was sitting opposite him again, only to find that he was still reading the newspaper unhurriedly.
Before seven o'clock this morning, Wayne hurried to Warner Bros. headquarters when he saw that the news in the market was not right. At the same time, Bruce Rosenblum didn't have time to have breakfast, so he hurried over in the same hurry.
"Bruce, it seems that Disney's actions are nothing more surprising."
Putting down the "Hollywood Daily Entertainment News" in his hand, Wayne shook his head with a sneer on his lips. Obviously, it was not until he confirmed his suspicion that he threw away the newspaper, relaxed on the sofa and lit it. A cigarette.
"Wayne, there are some things you don't understand." Unexpectedly, Bruce Rosenblum frowned, obviously not in a good mood. "Generally speaking, this least surprising method is also the method with the most direct effect. Moreover, this method is also the most difficult to eradicate the impact."
"Wonder Woman" was about to premiere. What no one expected was that before Warner Bros. could take action, their competitors took the lead.
As if deliberately stuck at this time, starting from this morning, all the newspapers and magazines related to entertainment have published various revelations. Although all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, after Wayne read them all carefully, he could still distinguish the two key points that the other party was staring at at a glance.
The first one, without a doubt, is the main cast. It's not just Angelina Jolie's past that has been completely uncovered. Including Wayne, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's weird friendship, and other dark stuff have been reported.
In fact, this is nothing, this is the summer season, which means this is the cruelest battlefield in Hollywood. At least since Wayne entered Hollywood, he has never seen a big production that can be safely released.
The annual pie in Hollywood is only so big. If you eat more, it means that others will eat less. Therefore, there are other companies in the dark who will not mind stabbing you even if it harms others and does not benefit themselves.
But there is no doubt that the focus of the hype on the cast and crew is focused on Angelina Jolie, who has the most scandalous material and is the hottest topic.
"I don't need to know too much, Bruce, it's enough for you to understand."
Although he said this, even if Wayne was not a publicity expert, he knew it in his heart. The main purpose of the opponent's doing this is to remind the public that the protagonist is a disgusting woman at the time when "Wonder Woman" is released.
If the protagonist in a film is an actor who is disgusted by the public, just think about it and you will know how much negative impact it will have on the film.
The film nature of "Wonder Woman" is not as dark as Wayne's work a few years ago. The potential audience this film is essentially targeting is family movie fans, the largest movie-watching group in North America.
Let me ask you, if you were a father, would you take your children to buy tickets to watch a movie starring a "scumbag" on the weekend? This is true no matter where in the world, even a father who is a criminal will educate his children to be good men since childhood.
Regardless of the actual effect, at least this is how all parents educate their children.
"Don't be too optimistic, Wayne."
Bruce Rosenblum shook his head. "Even if we try our best to calm public opinion, it is impossible to not be affected at all."
"Of course, I'm mentally prepared. I've been doing so since many years ago..." Wayne waved his hands with a smile, turning his head to look at Burbank in the early morning through the large window. "You know, Bruce, when I was in trouble when I was filming "Joker," Jeff once called me. It was that phone call that made me see the true nature of the Hollywood studio.
So, since then, I have been prepared to receive interference from the beginning of the preparation of each film. Don't think too much, nothing is perfect in this world. What you have to do is to reduce the influence to the minimum, and then find a way to kick the "troublemaker"'s ass! "
In fact, regardless of Bruce Rosenblum's emotional disorder, after the internal test screening of this "Wonder Woman", the reviews given by the film viewing experts in the company were surprisingly unanimous. Either because of the shortcomings of the audience caused by traditional concepts, the market performance of this film is high but low. Otherwise, the film will be a success far beyond expectations!
As the distribution director of Warner Bros., he has seen many ways to hype up the crew and creators' dirty information, and he is not surprised at all. Just because he was more inclined to have "Wonder Woman" completely explode, the second focus of "Troublemaker" made him a little emotionally disturbed.
All the entertainment media this morning were full of negative information hyping up the creators, but those media with greater influence published Michael Bay's statements in interviews.
"Wonder Woman, in my opinion, is like the double of Cutthroat Island!"
If no one takes the initiative to mention it to the public, not many people will think of Cutthroat Island. This film, to some extent, can be regarded as the largest investment in a film with a female protagonist before the emergence of "Wonder Woman".
At the same time, it is also the biggest production in the history of Hollywood with the worst loss and the worst impression on the audience!
From the perspective of movie fans, they don't care about the reasons for the failure of "Cutthroat Island". What is the realistic style? The history of North America is too short, there is no empathy for pirates, the production company Carlock Pictures has insufficient publicity and distribution capabilities, it lacks the traditional sense of fantasy in Hollywood, etc.
To this day, this is still one of the Hollywood movies that leaves the audience with the worst impression. It is also the most money-losing movie in history, bar none. That's right, "Cutthroat Island" still holds the Guinness World Record for the most money-losing movie even after more than ten years.
When this project was being filmed, it attracted the attention of the entire industry. Director Renny Harlin didn't play tricks. All the big scenes of naval battles and other scenes were shot in real life. He didn't know what restraint was. He just shot everything and the explosives went off. There was no special effects lake at all. idea.
Carlock Pictures invested the production fee alone in making this film. After the film was released, the global box office was only US$10.17 million! You know, Carlock Films’ investment didn’t end there. Counting all post-production promotion and marketing, they lost at least nearly 200 million U.S. dollars!
The result was very clean and tidy. Carlock Pictures declared bankruptcy without even waiting for the film to be released globally. What makes people even more amused is that Carlock Pictures, which was once extremely prosperous, was finally acquired by MGM, which had completely declined at the time...
In sharp contrast, there is no doubt that 18 million US dollars was invested and the global box office exploded.
Since the failure of "Cutthroat Island", almost all Hollywood film companies have been analyzing the reasons for its failure. Yes, there are constant afterthoughts on the realistic style, empathic issues with pirate culture, etc. But the most important thing is that all film companies have learned a lesson: Don’t easily invest in movies with female protagonists!
Don't look at today's Angelina Jolie, who is extremely popular thanks to the popularity of "Charlie's Angels". Geena Davis, the heroine of "Cutthroat Island" back then, is no worse than she is now.
Geena Davis was born as a model. She is over 1.8 meters tall, has a face that is in line with North American public aesthetics, and her acting skills are also very online. Not only is she an Oscar nominee, she has also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Thinking of this, Bruce Rosenblum looked at Wayne with strange emotions in his eyes. "It's so similar..."
"What?" Hearing his beeping sound, Wayne turned around and asked in confusion.
"No, it's nothing." Bruce Rosenblum shook his head vigorously, trying to get all the bad premonitions out of his mind at this moment.
Geena Davis, the heroine of "Cutthroat Island", is the wife of director Renny Harlin.
Angelina Jolie, the heroine of "Wonder Woman", has a well-known relationship with Wayne!
Geena Davis, the heroine of "Cutthroat Island", was the star of "Thelma and Louise", the most outstanding female protagonist movie ever, before joining the most expensive female protagonist movie in history.
Angelina Jolie, the heroine of "Wonder Woman", had just gained huge fame through "Charlie's Angels" before joining the most expensive female protagonist movie today...
"Bruce, I know what you're thinking."
Wayne shook his head dumbfounded. Of course Wayne himself had thought of this. He knows better that Michael Bay will not mention "Cutthroat Island" just once. With the blessing of many media, the other party will definitely mention it repeatedly.
Just look at Bruce Rosenblum at this time and it's clear that this is what the other party wants. That's right, whether it's creating a protagonist that the public hates, or constantly mentioning a film that gives the public a bad impression, all the purposes are to make more people give up watching "Wonder Woman" because of these.
The deeper meaning is also here. Those who play this trick may have designed it long ago. As long as you pay a little attention, you can find the similarities between "Cutthroat Island" and "Wonder Woman". Although these similarities are suspected of being forced, hasn't "Wonder Woman" not been released yet?
"Shit, even I almost..."
After Wayne's reminder, Bruce Rosenblum reacted immediately.
"Hey, Bruce, even if you haven't seen the preview of "Pearl Harbor," I don't believe that everyone under the Warner Bros. system hasn't seen it..."
As if he suddenly remembered something, a bloody smile appeared on Wayne's lips, and he whispered in a mysterious tone. "Bruce, don't you think that "Pearl Harbor" is more similar to "Cutthroat Island" than "Wonder Woman"?
The same real-life locations were used to shoot the big scenes, the director also went to great lengths to create heap explosions, and the sea battles were also claimed to be realistic. Also, I heard that Michael Bay fell in love with the "British Rose" because of the drama?
As for whether "Wonder Woman" will copy the money-losing miracle of "Cutthroat Island", or whether "Pearl Harbor" will copy "Cutthroat Island" and disappoint movie fans, it doesn't seem certain now. What do you think, Bruce? Can we..."
