Rebirth In Hollywood

How can we betray relatives?

The current situation of Ryan seems to confirm this in the eyes of outsiders. Except for the completely negligible retail minority shareholders such as Drew, it seems that everyone in Pixar has abandoned him and thrown himself into the arms of Disney.

Because there is a certain degree of uncertainty in the follow-up, both sides remained silent for the time being. People in the know were not too surprised except for Nicole Kidman's choice. After all, this is the most realistic Hollywood. The benefits it can bring must be greater than that of a young man in his early twenties. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

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

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

As for Michael Eisner's proposal, although Ryan would like to transfer his equity to Disney, in terms of method and time, he will definitely not go according to 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 big enough interests, will they abandon Michael Eisner?

There is no rush. Even if Michael Eisner is to be ousted from office, a vote of no confidence at the Disney shareholder meeting is required.

He is waiting, he has reserved a lot of supporters, such as Google, which has more funds, develops sudu faster, and attracts Wall Street's salivation. His team and Wall Street's investment institutions eager to get a piece of the pie are actively planning Google's listing .

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

After the film entered June, it began a large-scale publicity and hype. Although some die-hard book fans declared that they would boycott the movie because of the changes in many plots, the vast majority of book fans said that they would go to the theater to watch this movie because they believed that Ryan would never bring a bad movie .

In fact, since the release of the trailer, the magnificent scenery and fantastic colors have attracted quite a few people's attention, and even some critics believe that this movie is likely to become the biggest box office winner of this year.

In addition to Ryan, the boss, the main creative staff of the crew, including Peter Jackson.

Recently, they have frequently appeared in major media, displaying their respective skills to promote this magical masterpiece.

Of course, Charlize Theron wasn't among them.

After filming "The Devil's Head" in May, this beautiful diamond devoted all her energy to recovering her figure in strict accordance with the plan formulated by the nutritionist and shaper.

No matter what kind of woman she is, she doesn't want to really turn herself into a female devil.

Before leaving the fitness room and coming out of the locker room, Charlize took a good look at her body in front of the full-length mirror. After nearly a month of hard work, she has almost completely returned to her original figure.

Putting on her formal clothes, 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 recover so quickly, do you have any secrets?"

Showing a friendly smile, Charlize sat beside Ryan.

Listening to the two women discuss how to stay in shape, Ryan simply shut up, in his opinion. Drew's stature is almost hopeless.

As he gets older, Drew's signs of getting fat become more and more obvious, which is actually quite normal. This is a common problem of people who have successfully detoxified.

"No way..." Drew pointed to his swollen eye bags, and said helplessly, "Recently, I have been busy with the post-production of "Charlie's Angels 2". The production cost of this film alone has reached 100 million US dollars. If it fails, I won't lose a villa, I will really go bankrupt."

"The house has not been resolved yet?" Ryan asked with concern.

"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." The two parties were old friends for nearly ten years, and Ryan spoke unceremoniously, "By the way, throw away all those bad memories."

In fact, in recent years, this out-of-the-ordinary guy has become a lot more serious. He started dating a young actor named Tom Green more than a year ago and got married in December last year. The female partner severed the relationship, showing her determination to run a family well.

In this regard, Spielberg also expressed emotion 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 under Drew's careful care.

Just when the media and Hollywood thought Drew had found the one, a relentless fire destroyed it all.

Just a few months ago, a fire broke out in Drew's $3 million mansion in Beverly Hills. At that time, it was late at night, and Drew and Tom Green, who were sleeping soundly, didn't notice it. A pet dog they raised Rushing into the bedroom and waking up two people, they were out of danger in time.

The fire caused no casualties, but it burned down the house, burning down their home and what remained of their relationship.

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

"Yes, Ryan."

After the two sides turned the topic back to movies, Drew remembered one thing, "I have already bought the movie adaptation rights of that book."

"What book?" Charlize asked curiously.

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

Regarding Drew's ability in work, Ryan has always been assured. At this time, he explained a few words to Charlize, "The author of "The Hours" is Michael Cunningham."

"The one who wrote "House of End Times"?" Charlize had obviously heard of him.

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

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

With the production of movies one after another big hits. It is becoming more and more difficult for Ryan to obtain the right to adapt other people's works. Few of the people who can write and publish works are idiots. As long as Jenkins Films finds them, they will all offer a sky-high price.

"To Rodell Street, Charlie?"

After talking about the business, Drew grabbed Charlize when he was leaving, "The premiere of "Lord of the Rings" is coming soon, don't you prepare a few more dresses for yourself and Ryan?"

"Okay." Charlize agreed.

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

The fiery summer schedule has already kicked off, and the most anticipated movie at the moment is "The Lord of the Rings", but the competition for this schedule is extremely fierce.

In a broad sense, May can be included in North America's summer vacation. Among the movies released in May, "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is the most important big production.

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

To put it bluntly, the reputation of one movie is worse than the other, but the box office is better than one. In just six weeks, the movie grossed more than 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, successfully surpassing "100% Men" and becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year.

Nicole has two films in a row. The North American box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, once again proving its unparalleled appeal in commercial films.

And in early June, another super-big production landed in North America. This is the war epic "Pearl Harbor" that DreamWorks placed high hopes on, and the cost of production and promotion was as high as 200 million U.S. dollars...

According to DreamWorks' forecast, the film's North American box office is at least comparable to "Saving Private Ryan". In fact, the film's performance in the first week was indeed excellent. The North American box office figure of 75.17 million became the second highest this year. First week at the box office.

Corresponding to the box office, it is the film's extremely poor reputation.

Phrases such as "good and good", "bland" and "loose and stale" are the common views of almost all film critics, and even the "Washington Post" directly gave the film a "boring!" Boring! Boring! ", to remind the audience to choose the seats next to the aisle, 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 reputation have less and less influence on movie box office. Even if film critics criticize a movie as worthless, as long as the audience finds it interesting, they will still choose this movie. Movie.

The biggest thing about "Pearl Harbor" is that while it doesn't discuss the likes of film critics, it also doesn't please the audience. The bloody love triangle has become the most criticized place. The overly lengthy and dull plot has seriously affected ordinary audiences. Movie viewing experience.

Such a result brought about a huge drop in the box office of the film in the second week, only harvesting more than 29 million U.S. dollars, and then dropped to more than 14 million U.S. dollars in the third week...

Regardless of the film's word-of-mouth, the three leading actors have benefited the most, especially Kate Beckinsale, who unexpectedly became another British rose in the media's mouth.

No matter how you look at it, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" is not even higher than that of "Saving Private Ryan". Some media can't wait to compare this movie to Michael Bay's Waterloo. The ambition of DreamWorks has obviously been hit a bit. , they are now busy with overseas release plans, hoping that the film can turn around in overseas markets.

As for the North American box office, DreamWorks obviously doesn't think it can make a difference, because it will soon face its strongest competitor this summer. (to be continued...)
