The filming of "I, Robot" is proceeding according to plan.

At the beginning, the studio in Vancouver was guarded by paparazzi. Gradually, these people finally found that the monotony and boringness of the crew was directly proportional to the luxurious cast, and soon lost their attention.

This kind of gossip is cyclical.

Not long after, news of the impending wedding of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez dominated the headlines, and the paparazzi who were hunkered down outside the Vancouver studio disappeared.

Fox's selection of the "Fantastic Four" was not smooth. The third director who took over the project, Peyton Reed, wanted Paul Walker to play the role of Human Torch, so Chris, who is somewhat similar to the latter, is far away from this The role got closer, but then he was kicked out of the project and casting work temporarily stalled.

Chris took the opportunity to fly to Canada to visit the class. This time he can finally declare his sovereignty legitimately, but the two main objects he tried to claim sovereignty don't seem to care very much.

Paul still treated Chris very kindly, and took him out to play with the main creators of the crew without any grievances, and Edward's reaction to this was also very flat—or indifferent—he would still discuss the day's events with Josie. The rivalry or the script of The Veil, it looks like business as usual.

On the contrary, Chris himself couldn't help sulking.

Because they had a tacit understanding when discussing together, and this kind of tacit understanding was not the same as Keanu's. It was more like a kind of arrogance that Edward deliberately showed off in front of him. Manuel's deadly serial CALL calls back to Los Angeles for six weeks of stunt driving training for his new film, "One Line".

Ali Emmanuel has always hoped that Chris could talk to Josie about this movie this time. As we all know, Josie is very unique in selecting scripts. Although there are many elements for a movie to succeed, a good script is definitely the key one ring.

So far, "One Line Sound Machine" is doing well.

Even though the budget is only 500 million US dollars, the director David R. Ellis is a stuntman, and he is familiar with this type. He has worked in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "The Matrix 2: Reloaded ", "Raging Sea" and other crews have worked as assistant directors, and "Reaper 2" directed by him was quite successful when it was released at the beginning of the year.

The co-star Kim Basinger is a well-known sexy actress in Hollywood. Although she continues to decline, the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress is good enough for her role-although this award has always been controversial-it also has a certain Box office appeal.

The producer plans to make "One-line Sound Machine" into an action movie that combines "Speed" and "Fast and Furious".

Ali. Emmanuel believes that it will be a turning point in Chris's career, given the current shortage of male actors in the field of Hollywood action films.

However, Chris never mentioned this topic to Josie. Ari Emmanuel only found out about this when he returned to Los Angeles. He couldn't help but taunted Chris on the spot: "You really have excess self-esteem."

But who made Chris his golden boy now?

This aggressive elite partner with a strong wrist and a strong desire to control still indulged the client to a certain extent, but turned around and replaced Chris's assistant, and paid more attention to Eve Price's relationship public relations process and Fox's Fantastic Four casting.

A woman's heart is very fickle.

Especially Josie's status as a superstar and heiress, she is as attractive to men and even women as a real king, and the latter is not as young and beautiful as her, and has absolute confidence in her wealth and career. The right to speak.

He dared to say that as long as Josie wanted to, she didn't need to declare her family name, and anyone could follow her with just one look.

And Chris cared about his own useless self-esteem, it was amazingly stupid and naive...or was that what Josie liked about him?

Ali Emmanuel has no way of knowing Josie's true thoughts, but this does not prevent him from being the top agent in Hollywood, and controlling the all-round work and life of the client with the lowest rank , especially private life.

In May, the crew of "I, Robot" successfully finished filming, and the film entered the stage of post-production.

On the first weekend of May, Fox’s hot superhero sequel film “X-Men 2” and Tenjin-Universal’s first comic adaptation film “Iron Man” were also screened in major theaters in North America at the same time.

Due to the impact of the release of the two blockbuster comics at the same time, neither Fox nor Universal were able to get the best number of film openings in the summer. Fox's minimum target of 2 million is better, and the professional media score is 6000, which is a very friendly start for popcorn blockbusters and comic movies.

But in contrast to "Iron Man", the results of "X-Men 2" are not dazzling enough.

As the first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan planned by Tianshen-Universal, the performance of "Iron Man" in the internal screenings and media previews has already given the producers full of confidence, and the box office trend of the premiere week Even stronger than data analysts predicted.

The box office of the first weekend was 400 million US dollars, and the professional media score was as high as 84. The rapid detonation of audience word-of-mouth and the huge amount of discussion on social platforms all showed that "Iron Man", which was originally underestimated, has become the first film of this summer. Phenomenal movie.

Of course, "X-Men 2" wasn't badly done, and even Fox and Tenshin-Universal jointly hyped it, but the movie audience at the same time was limited after all, and the result of direct confrontation between two films of the same type was , none of them can maximize the box office of the target group.

This is also one of the reasons why Hollywood holds a film industry summit in Las Vegas every spring and sets the schedules for its six major films.

Movies are just a business, too.

For this business, Fox can disregard the wishes of the director of "X-Men 2" Brian Singer, and pull on the joint hype between God and Universal. On the surface, the scolding war continues to escalate. Also had dinner together, just to attract attention;

For the sake of this business, God-Universal can temporarily abandon the previous feud with Fox, and Tom Rothman seems to have forgotten how he was scolded as a "Traitor of Fox" at the beginning, and shook hands with his old boss Bill McKennick again. ;

For this business, Josie was able to mobilize her circle of bigwig friends in the Bay Area, and she made a guest appearance in "Iron Man" together with herself, and even invited three "Iron Man" fans to visit the cliff in Malibu villa.

- "Iron Man" is so much fun, the best superhero movie I've ever seen!

- I've never read comics, and it's probably not my type, but "Iron Man" really doesn't disappoint, I'm screaming while watching, Robert Downey Jr., Naomi Watts And Jeff Bridges was fantastic, and Jon Favreau used the Oscar-caliber cast in a very entertaining way and did it well enough.

- One of the must-see movies this summer!An origin story minus the boringness, with lots of action, drama, and humor to keep you in your seat!Very exciting!

- This is a charming, humorous and action-packed movie!Robert Downey Jr. is so perfect for the role of Iron Man/Tony Stark, he is the character himself!Great script, great director, great actors!

- In contrast, "X-Men 2" is a successful sequel movie, but its plot is not as interesting and fresh as "Iron Man", and the director made it too comical.

- I think "X-Men 2" is overrated. It may be better than my first film, but it is definitely a work of different dimensions from "Iron Man". The second half of the whole movie collapsed directly, and it feels like Like rushing to meet a release date.

- "Iron Man" is the best superhero origin movie on the screen, bar none, and I dare say this movie completely saved RDJ's career.

-Iron Man has always been my favorite hero in the Marvel Universe.It was really good to watch him shine on the big screen. RDJ's performance was simply fantastic.By the way, the computer special effects and high technology presented in "Iron Man" seem to be ten years ahead of "X-Men 2".

- I swiped it three times, originally just to see my goddess Josie Horton play herself in "Iron Man", but I was still fascinated by Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man.hateful.

-Hollywood superstar? NO!Josie Horton, a woman who truly changed my life, the mother of social networking!

-I just realized that TT and Ttime are her ideas. I would like to call Ms. J Heidi Rama II.

-I have watched those two "Paris and Nico" countless times. Before that, I couldn't even imagine that there would be a cliff house in Malibu in reality.Oh shit, another day of envying the lucky three who were allowed to visit!

Fans who are cheering for "Iron Man" don't know that this movie not only brought Robert Downey Jr.'s career back to life, but also opened the Marvel Cinematic Universe and completely changed the pattern of Hollywood in the next 20 years: a famous Prism’s company quietly took a stake in Marvel. Years later, as the growing Marvel was acquired by Disney, the company also logically acquired Disney’s shares and became a member of Disney’s board of directors.

And at the moment, Brian Singer, the director of "X-Men 2" who was once blatantly talked about, is also affected by "Iron Man".

"Iron Man" VS "X-Men 2" Under the seemingly evenly matched confrontation in theaters, it was the founder of the new Hollywood dynasty sweeping up the old forces. "Iron Man" just happened to be the last straw, but Completely ruined the career of the famous Hollywood director.

"Bryan, Warner Bros. has decided to temporarily put the Superman Returns project on hold."

At ten o'clock in the morning, Bryan Singer, who was immersed in a hangover, hadn't fully regained consciousness, and hadn't even freed his limbs from the gap between several blond boys, when he heard the sad news in a daze.

"What?" the director who became famous with "The Usual Suspects" and achieved commercial success with "X-Men" asked subconsciously.

"You heard me right, you were fired by Warner, Brian." His agent found a bathrobe and threw it on the messy bed. "We need to talk."

Bryan Singer slowly woke up, rubbed his face vigorously, and said, "Wait, I thought my "X-Men 2" was very successful."

Without "Iron Man", "X-Men 2" is indeed successful enough, and it stands to reason that Bryan Singer will be sought after by Hollywood in the next three years.

But the problem is...

"Yes, we all know it was a success," his agent said in a businesslike tone, "but the thing is, you're a failure, Brian, and even without Iron Man, you're going to have to deal with It’s pretty much the same as it is now.”

Bryan Singer understood after thinking about it, and immediately cursed: "FXCK!!! That damn B—"

"Shut up. If I were you, I would never do this, no matter when and where." The agent was a little impatient, "Stop getting drunk. I hope you know how hard it took us to get your You can't even stay in the business with those scandals down for a while, understand? So play it safe and pray that lady will show mercy and allow you to leave Hollywood with dignity instead of Weinstein Sent to prison..."
