Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Los Angeles is a city of stars as well as a city of power, as Jennifer, a supporting actress on daytime soap operas, knows.From coming to this city at the age of 17, from an unknown barmaid to a print advertisement model, to a guest star on a daytime soap opera, and finally being able to have a regular role in a daytime soap opera, it took me eight years to be in it. The city stood its ground.Now I have finally become a popular person in this city. Most popular nightclubs will treat me with "beauty care" (that is, you can enjoy the first glass of wine for free without queuing), and even some bands' concerts can Open up the background to yourself.

Although Jennifer feels that she should be able to stand on the stage of the Emmy Awards and even the Golden Globe Awards in her lifetime, but at the age of nearly 30, she has also begun to choose how to face reality.Although the United States is more tolerant of female actors than China, some actresses in their thirties can still play leading roles, but after all, Hollywood has never lacked beauties, and sometimes freshness is much more important than acting skills.Therefore, Jennifer also gradually abandoned some unrealistic fantasies. She felt that it would be good for her to have a fixed role in a prime-time American TV series. As for trophies and so on, it is probably unattainable in this life.

Having said that, Jennifer and her girlfriends are still drinking and chatting about the gossip in the city at the "Pink Demon" nightclub on Sunset Boulevard.Although Pink Demon is not as famous as Playhouse, it is still a first-class nightclub in Los Angeles.Even in such a nightclub, Jennifer can still bring her girlfriends to enjoy the beauty care, which makes her very respectable in the eyes of her girlfriends.

"Tomorrow is the premiere of "The Avengers". It is said that all the famous people in the city have received invitations from Mr. Sherman." A girlfriend named Petunia gave an envious look.

Penny only came to Los Angeles last year. Because she met Jennifer, who was quite enthusiastic, she avoided a lot of detours.Currently, Petunia is working as a waitress in a small restaurant and is also working as a graphic model for some second- and third-tier publications in the city. It is said that a screenwriter of a daytime soap opera has taken a fancy to her and promised to let her audition.So this gathering can also be regarded as a celebration for Penny, but the premiere proposed by Penny still silenced many girls on the spot.They think that they are not much uglier than those vase girls, but they lack a ticket to enter such a top party.

Jennifer sighed softly, she really has a ticket for this premiere.Because the producer of the daytime soap opera she participated in filming was pursuing her, she worked hard to get such an admission ticket, allowing her to enter with the producer.

Seeing the envious eyes of her female companions, Jennifer said: "It's just a premiere, there are more celebrities here, what's there to envy? If you really want to be envious, remember to follow me on Instagram, I'll take some more photos for you to see." After speaking, Jennifer pretended to be calm and drank a glass of wine.

The female companions were stunned for a moment, then screamed, "Oh my God, Jennifer, you are going to the premiere of "The Avengers"! My God, then you will be spotted by Jed Sherman soon , become a star of tomorrow!"

"How can it be that simple?" Having said that, Jennifer still couldn't help thinking about it.Under the clamor of the female companions, Jennifer couldn't help but said to the bartender, "The round of drinks just now is counted on my account, so I treat everyone!"

For Los Angeles celebrities, who gets the invite to the premiere of "The Avengers" has become a popular consideration.Moreover, Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group also specially divides the invitation letter into two types: gold card and silver card. The gold card will naturally enter the flagship IMAX hall to watch movies with the crew; the silver card can only go to the other two halls to watch movies.For those who have not received the gold or silver invitation letter, you can only obediently go to the Galaxy Theater to queue up to buy tickets.However, the box office of the Galaxy Theater has already had movie fans queuing up with tents and other things from the day before the premiere. The momentum is even more enthusiastic than Apple selling new mobile phones.

The enthusiasm of fans was naturally reported by reporters. The anchor of "CBS Evening News" couldn't help commenting: "It seems that the whole of the United States has fallen into the admiration of "Avengers". But what I can't help asking is , 'Avengers' animated comics have been out for many years, why did such a large-scale fan storm form until today? I have to turn my attention to the maker of this storm-Mr. Jed Sherman. He He is the most talented director in the 90s and the most successful commercial film producer in the new century. He has two extremely opposite attributes, which makes film critics love and hate. He can make "The Avengers" and is destined to be Commercial films that serve the box office can also participate in the production of "Holy War" in the far east regardless of the cost. Although the current information shows that "Holy War", a slightly documentary film, has nothing to do with Jed Sherman, all internal information is Shows that this film was the one Mr. Sherman was instrumental in making."

As early as the week before the release of "The Avengers", almost all the film companies that have a good relationship with Jed have lined up their main works, but Sony Pictures is still unwilling to throw out many bad movies that are at the bottom of the box and disgust Jed .But such an approach is undoubtedly an act of suicide, so even Sony Pictures did not dare to use Columbia Pictures, the main label, to be ashamed. In the end, they used the small label Sony Sensor Films to release it as a substitute.It's a pity that the box office of 1700 million is not as good as the movie "The Hunger Games". "The Hunger Games" is actually the latest series of films cast by Summit Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group.Although it was released in the unpopular spring file, the box office results are still very satisfactory.

On May 2012, 5, the much-anticipated "Avengers" finally launched in North America.The entire movie, including publicity, cost as much as $4 million, which means that Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group must make at least $2.5 million at the box office to break even.However, some media revealed that the Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group internally believed that this movie should be a masterpiece heading for the "7 billion box office club".As for whether it can become the third "10 billion box office club" work, no one knows. After all, "Titanic" and "Avatar" produced by Cameron are really unmatched.

And the thought that the copyrights of these two "20 billion box office club" works are actually in the pocket of Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group made many film and television companies gnash their teeth in private, especially Fox and Paramount, which have a good relationship with Jed.Although Murdoch and Redstone have a good relationship with Jed, but when talking about these two works, the two old foxes couldn't help but drag Jed out and shoot him for 5 minutes.At that time, the two mistakenly thought that Jed lobbied them to invest in order to share the risk, but they didn't expect that the two missed the two golden hens that laid golden eggs in a blink of an eye.Murdoch is okay, after all, Jed Sherman was not powerful enough back then, so the distribution rights of "Titanic" were in the hands of 20th Century Fox; but "Avatar" was released independently by Jed.In particular, Jade shamelessly released a so-called 3D version of "Titanic" in the Asia-Pacific market last year, and finally got a lot of money back.

Although Jed discovered two "20 billion box office club" works as a producer, Jed really didn't think "The Avengers" could become the third one.Especially when "Avatar" is infinitely approaching the box office of 30 billion, let "Avengers" challenge the status of "Avatar".In an interview with the media, Jed only said that "The Avengers" is an excellent movie, but the final box office will depend on the support of the audience.

The red carpet show for the premiere of "The Avengers" started at five o'clock. Although the five major TV networks did not participate in the live broadcast, the local TV stations in Los Angeles still enthusiastically broadcast the live broadcast. Local TV stations in some other cities also broadcast from here in Los Angeles A signal is required for rebroadcasting.Therefore, according to statistics, the live broadcast of the red carpet show of "The Avengers" actually ranked 20th in the national ratings survey at the same time.In addition to the live broadcast being held on the TV network, Jade also specially purchased enough bandwidth to conduct a free webcast for the Asia-Pacific market.

Jed is very clear that in order to really challenge the existence of "Titanic" and "Avatar", the overseas box office market is very important.But Jed didn't want to challenge the status of "Avatar". As the world's first real IMAX3D movie, "Avatar"'s "time, place and people" are not comparable to "The Avengers".But if even the huge ship "Titanic" can't be dismounted, it's hard for Jed to plan for so many years.

At eight o'clock in the evening, most of the people have already taken their seats.As the world premiere of "The Avengers", those who are invited or grab tickets will naturally not miss it.But in order not to expose the plot, Jed has reminded everyone that signal shielding equipment is installed in the theater, and warned everyone not to use any camera and video equipment.Although Jed's approach was a bit domineering, it was approved by many theater managers.The North American Association of Cinema and Theater Owners has actually asked several times for the enactment of a law that no photography or video recording is allowed in theaters or theaters, but it is always rejected because it violates the freedom of others.But Jed is asking everyone to sign a voluntary contract this time, so it's not too much.

At [-]:[-], the lights in the projection hall gradually dimmed, while the IMAX screen gradually lit up.The brand-new technology makes the picture quality of IMAX clearer and brighter, and it also makes fewer and fewer movie fans who criticize IMAX.The first thing to light up is the logo of Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Company, as a distribution company, as it should be; followed by the logos of the production company Galaxy Films and the assisting production company Marvel Entertainment.

At the beginning of the movie, aliens intend to invade the earth. Although everyone can see Loki and the Chirita star, who is the Chirita star who respectfully serves?The first foreshadowing of the movie was planted here, and with the end of this short plot, the scene soon switched to reality.A message came from the secret laboratory of S.H.I.E.L.D. that the Rubik's Cube seemed to be acting abnormally, so S.H.I.E.L.D. and others rushed to the laboratory.Jed edited the plot here very neatly, and the abrupt exchange of the two scenes also made the audience have a strong interest in the plot of the whole movie.
