Bob White was not stunned by Simon's remarks, and his tone was a little sour: "the problem is, Simon, most of your so-called" tent poles "in recent years have come from danielis entertainment, which is very unfair, isn't it?"

"You're wrong, Bob. Compared with other fields, the competition in Hollywood is the fairest. As long as you can make a good enough film, the audience will pay for it. Danielis entertainment has only done better in recent years. We have not stopped other studios from producing excellent films. This is someone else's problem. "

"Well," Bob White said without any further argument or detour, "Simon, I'm here in Los Angeles in the hope that Warner Bros. can develop more superhero movies in addition to the existing DC series."

Simon winced: "if I remember correctly, Bob, Terry should be in charge of Warner's film business."

"Yes, but it's clear that Terry is not doing his best in this area. At least in the development of superhero movies, he has not stimulated the potential of DC brand."

"Well, what I want to know is..." Simon looked at Bob White. "Does Jack know about it?"

Bob whiteton paused and said, "I haven't told him yet."

Simon raised his glass directly to white and said, "in that case, have a nice evening. Moreover, I can make my attitude clear, I don't agree. If you are going to push forward, I certainly can't stop it, but I will change the development plan of the existing DC movie universe project. "

With that, Simon ignored Bob White and went straight to the other side.

When asked about Jack Welch, it's just Simon wants to make sure that this incident tonight is inspired by Welch. However, Simon's tough attitude towards the DC movie universe will not change at all. Unconsciously, he has regarded Hollywood as his own territory. In order to avoid the spread of mangrove films too early, and to maintain the diversity of Hollywood, Simon has been pressing his own marvel, and of course he will not allow DC to mess around.

If the conflict intensifies, even if it's a DC movie universe, Simon can stop.

As soon as he separated from Bob White, Jonathan Friedman welcomed him and congratulated him. Jonathan said another thing: "Simon, Denise entertainment, when are you going to start preparing for the two comet earth impact movies, the great clash of heaven and earth and the apocalypse

"The Apocalypse" was an idea that Simon gave to Robert Poole, the screenwriter of MGM's infectious disease hit movie "terror zone" at that time. After the success of "terror zone", Poole began to be popular, and the script of "the Apocalypse" was successfully favored by Denise entertainment.

"The clash of heaven and earth" is Simon's idea inspired by "the Apocalypse". In the history of the past, the two films were competing in the same year, which was very lively. The original version of "the clash of heaven and earth" has been lost by the butterfly. Simon picked it up again and gave it to the original screenwriter Michael Tolkien to write.

The two projects have recently joined the project list of danielis entertainment. Although the preparations have not yet officially started, the two super blockbusters focusing on special effects have quickly attracted the attention of major Hollywood brokerage companies and a kind of big and small stars.

No way.

Now in Hollywood, the films produced by danielis entertainment are most likely to make the actors popular. At the same time, if you want to stabilize your position and not be defeated by the latecomers, even the bigwigs should try their best to fight for these opportunities.

Jonathan Friedman was apparently searching for the stars of wma.

Simon, of course, has nothing to hide from Jonathan. He said: "it's just a project for the time being. However, next year's schedule is full, and" the clash of heaven and earth "will be released in 1998. I hope Michael Bay will be the director. This needs to wait for him to complete" Jurassic Park 3 ", and the release time will be pushed to 1999."

Jonathan, hearing the speech, nodded. He was basically in the expectation. He was not in a hurry to recommend a candidate. Instead, he said, "Kim has finished shooting the cable repairman. There has been no news about the next project on danielis entertainment. Simon, I can only ask you?"

"Cable repairman" is a comedy that Simon has been quietly nurturing for Kim Carey by Ben Stiller and Judd arpatu, who are members of the rotten boy gang.

Once upon a time in history, with this film, Kim Carrey got Hollywood's first $20 million basic film payment, and since then opened the era of $20 million.

Because of the original contract and Simon's suppression of Kim Carey, there is certainly no $20 million this time. Moreover, including this film, Simon deliberately arranged that the box office performance of "cable repairman" in the original space-time can be described as the worst one after Kim Carrey's popularity. It took Sony's budget of nearly $50 million at that time, and the global box office barely exceeded 100 million.

This is Simon's deliberate suppression of Kim Carey, and let the rotten boy help practice.

At this time, listening to Jonathan's obvious pleading tone, Simon did not insist, said: "I find time for someone to send him the script."Kim Kerry signed five contracts with danielis entertainment. After two films, detective airplane head, freak in disguise and cable repairman, which have been filmed and have not yet been released, there is only one left.

In fact, the script is already ready.

The world of Truman.

This is also a script that has been popular in Hollywood for a long time and has not been fanned out by Simon, the big butterfly. The story writer had a creative idea in the 1980s, and it was only noticed by Hollywood in 1991. The script failed to be filmed for many times, and finally fell into the hands of Denise entertainment, which was quietly won by Simon.

If it wasn't for Kim Carrey's attempt to break the contract and have a bad time with daenerys, Simon might have come out and even pushed each other at the Oscars.

In recent years, Simon has quietly suppressed many plays.

Just like this one at the end of 1996, the best-selling movie should have been Mr. sweetheart starring Tom Cruise. Under the constant pressure of danielis entertainment, cruise has been reduced to the second and third tier. Although the script of Mr. sweetheart has not been fan out, it has also been sealed up by Simon, making way for other movies.

Jonathan was relieved to see Simon let go.

Actually, I can understand what Simon is doing.

At the beginning, Denise entertainment signed several long-term contracts in succession, including a series of actor contracts for DC movie universe. If Kim Carrey, who is trying to break the contract, is not taught a lesson, other actors will certainly make trouble, and it is likely that it will not be able to end at that time. It is hard to say whether DC movie universe can achieve the glory of last year's super baton war.

Kim Carrey, who has taken the initiative to be soft, turned to wma. Under Jonathan's words, he got rid of the situation of being hidden in the snow. However, the evil feeling on danielis entertainment side has been formed. If not, with the box office momentum of the comedian's first two films, the current achievements will definitely be more than that.

Fortunately, only the last movie is left.

Jonathan can imagine that after the completion of the last film, there will never be any intersection between the two sides. However, Denise entertainment, which is booming, obviously doesn't care too much about the intersection.

Even times have changed.

Now Hollywood is obviously in the era of super blockbuster movies. It is no longer the year when big directors and big stars were praised by big studios. Just like DC movie universe, without big directors and big stars, it can create box office miracles. Even these years, it is equivalent to holding out a number of new big directors and big stars.

Jonathan has just asked about two comet impact films, and some of wma's bigwigs have asked for help. Otherwise, Denise entertainment will give these opportunities to those new people. Many of the big names who have been in danger in recent years may be shot dead on the beach.

In the final analysis, a young man who was born ten years ago has completely changed the pattern of Hollywood.

On the second day of the premiere, the word-of-mouth of wonder woman 2 was lifted directly, and the comprehensive score of all media reached 8.7, close to the classic.

What's more, the reputation of DC's latest blockbuster is even irrelevant. When the last poster of the three superheroes, magic woman, flash and steel, was put up on the second day of the premiere ceremony, the expectation of a large number of fans who didn't know flash would take part in the show went to a higher level.

Then, on November 22, after the hot midnight show, the much anticipated "wonder woman 2" was officially launched on 4017 screens in North America.

Meanwhile, the first week of Thanksgiving from November 15 to November 21 ended.

In fact, after three days of box office from November 15 to November 17, the two producers of "air dunk" and "Star Trek 8" had already felt bad. For the whole week, the fifth Weimi show on November 18 was broadcast on TV, and the following two consecutive autumn series of "American Idol" with an average audience of more than 30 million on Tuesday and Thursday ended, The final box office results, two new film producers thoroughly cool heart.

The total box office in the first seven days of Thanksgiving is $95.46 million, of which $79.23 million is for three days on weekends, while only $16.22 million is for four working days, accounting for a pitiful 17% of the box office in a week. Under normal circumstances, this proportion is often around 30%.

In other words, this week's three hit shows are equivalent to swallowing more than $12 million at the box office of North American theaters.

Over the years, danielis entertainment has produced more and more films that other studios have no power to fight back. Now even danielis Entertainment's TV programs are competing for market share with everyone. It's really tearful.

Finally, in the first week of the Thanksgiving season, the box office winner is not the $80 million live action movie "slam dunk" led by bugs bunny and Jordan, but Paramount's classic long-term science fiction sequel "Star Trek 8".

In the first week of its release, Star Trek 8 made $34.67 million in seven days.

This achievement is not a failure, but it is also significantly lower than Paramount's box office expectation of $40 million in the first week.What's more, the forecast gap of $5 million is just the same as the box office share swallowed by several popular TV series. If there is no wonder woman 2, which starts with $34.67 million, Star Trek 8 is expected to hit the local box office of $80 million to $100 million. The production cost of the film is $45 million, and the production cost can be recovered only by relying on local distribution.

Now, "wonder woman 2" is fierce. In the first week of its painting, it was slashed by danielis Entertainment's TV program. The possibility of the local box office of 70 million is so small that we can only look forward to overseas. However, the popularity of Star Trek series overseas is far less than that in China. It is lucky to get half of the box office in China.

It's supposed to be paramount's Star Trek series. In this sequel, even if it won't lose money through all channels, it will certainly become the worst commercial performance in recent years.

But Star Trek 8 was lucky.

The second place in the box office, the Big Slam in the air, is the real failure.

Warner imitated the mode of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in those years, spent 80 million dollars to produce this live action animation combined with film, and invited familiar Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan. As a result, after the film was released, the public praise directly hit the street, the average media score was only 4.3, even failed, far from reaching the level of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in those years It's a wonderful scene.

Even if the North American market is very mature, there is no shortage of blockbusters.

It just depends on the timing.

In the absence of a strong opponent, the former "slam dunk in the air" earned more than 90 million US dollars at the local box office and 230 million US dollars in the world.

This time, just talking about the first week of the painting, we not only have to collide with Star Trek 8, but also Barbara Streisand's "double faced mirror" last week and Annabel, which is still in full swing since the opening of the Halloween painting schedule. We can imagine the ending.

In the first seven days of the week, relying on 2650 yuan to open the screen, the box office revenue of "empty slam dunk" was only $25.14 million, and the museum did not even reach the box office level of $10000.

The opening $25.14 million, next week is enough to make the same period of film box office data easily cut "wonder woman 2", Warner even can't imagine what the next $80 million blockbuster will face.

In addition to the two new films, Annabel, which broke through 100 million yuan last week, still won 15.56 million US dollars this week despite a 43% drop in box office under the impact of the two new films, with a total box office of 124.76 million US dollars in four weeks.

With a total investment of only US $30 million in production and publicity, this new evocative movie, cosmos, is firmly in Diaoyutai.

The fourth place is Barbara Streisand's "double faced mirror". The box office of the next week fell by 29% and earned $11.4 million. The total box office of the two weeks was $27.49 million. Through the subsequent release, it is expected to reach the expected local 40 million, which is the best result of this project produced by Sony.

The fifth place is "uninhibited night", which is still a film produced by danielis entertainment.

Compared with the $11.4 million of "double faced mirror", the box office of "uninhibited night" fell to $4.31 million in the fifth week. You can imagine that the box office of other old films in the same period was even worse. With "uninhibited night" in the top four, the last nine of the 13 films included in the box office statistics this week only got less than $9 million .

However, all these films, good or bad, have been reduced to floating clouds in front of amazing woman 2.
