The Best Entertainment Era

Around the World in Eighty Days had its premiere at Los Angeles' Hollywood Coliseum on Tuesday, but it was a bit shabby for the studio's $110 million production.

After Jack Chen accepted the interview, he walked slowly towards the theater, and his manager followed from behind.

The investment in this film is more than 100 million US dollars. Jack Chen was very dissatisfied: What is Disney trying to do?

The agent said in a low voice: Disney has five rounds of internal trial screenings, and they are not optimistic about this film. Due to the low internal ratings, in terms of publicity, Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, who strongly advocated promoting this project, was met by another internal review from Disney. The blame of a power.

Jack Chen switched to Cantonese: These shit...

I originally thought that what Disney threw out was a piece of cake, but now I see that it is clearly a pit.

Cooperating with such a company with internal instability is really cheating!

Jack Chen sighed helplessly, knowing that he was in a good situation in Hollywood, and he was about to take a turn for the worse.

On the platform on the second floor of the premiere theater, the elderly Roy Disney watched the crowded and lively premiere, and found the figure of the live-action production director Tony Cross.

In recent years, there have been few great movies from Disney.

Roy Disney believes that this has something to do with Michael Eisner's cronyism, and the performance of Disney's live-action production department has been terrible since Tony Cross took the top job in 2000.

Originally, Disney had partners like Jerry Bruckheimer, but Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't save Disney's live-action movies.

From 2000 to the present, if you look carefully, any Disney personnel should have a kind of sad mood.

Since Disney entered the new century, among the movies produced by the department, the most profitable movie is The Princess Diaries...

Toni Kroos is simply a mediocrity!

Of course, Roy Disney would not know that Disney's most successful live-action movie after the new century no longer belongs to them.

Someone came over.

Roy Disney didn't look back,

Asked, Patrick, is Michael Eisner here?

No. Patrick Disney said: I got the definite news that Michael Eisner won't be coming.

Roy Disney nodded slowly, and said, The project I promoted, but I am not responsible for it to the end!

Patrick Disney: Father, we should hold him accountable.

Roy Disney waved his hand: Not yet.

Patrick Disney added: If this goes on like this, Disney's film division is over.

No. Roy Disney saw it more clearly: Disney still has a background, we can only wait for the most suitable opportunity.

Although Patrick Disney is not young anymore, he is not as calm as Roy Disney. He said hastily: In the last two board meetings, we had three key personnel who were replaced by Michael Eisner...

Roy Disney waved his hand again: We are at a disadvantage, and patience is necessary for the time being. Now that Disney's performance is not good, the stronger Michael Eisner is, the more dissatisfied shareholders will be with him. As long as the time is right, we can push back. a handful.

I get it, Dad, I get it, Patrick Disney said. But Disney is our Disney.

Roy Disney said slowly: Disney is no longer our Disney. Only in this way can it become the Disney under our control.

Patrick-Disney was silent.

Roy Disney said: Of course we can't let Disney collapse. You are now the head of the DVD distribution department. According to my plan, launch the Platinum Edition plan and make some achievements for shareholders to see.

Patrick Disney responded: I'll try.

Roy Disney sighed softly. Disney has been living on his laurels for the past few years.

The so-called Platinum Edition plan is also a plan to live on its laurels. The DVD department will select ten classic animated films including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid to enter the Platinum Collection plan. A new collector's edition DVD is released.

In order to attract customers, this series of DVDs will be released for a limited period, and will be out of print after the limited period.

Of course, only this version is out of print, and it will not be difficult to release the gold version or other DVD versions in the future.

Patrick Disney asked again: Around the World in Eighty Days, shall we just let it go?

Roy Disney said: The film's box office has not yet come out, and all predictions are not the final result. We will talk about it after the box office comes out. The response is not good either?

Yes. Patrick Disney said.

Roy Disney turned around and walked towards the exit on the second floor. Waiting for Patrick Disney to catch up, he said, Be patient, King Arthur has a higher investment.

Patrick Disney understands that with Michael Eisner, a Around the World in Eighty Days may not be able to do anything to Tony Cross, but what about adding a King Arthur with a higher investment?

However, he also has doubts. King Arthur is the work of Jerry Bruckheimer. Could it be that Jerry Bruckheimer will also miss a big production?

The premiere of Interstellar Legend was placed on the second day of Around the World in Eighty Days.

Vin Diesel was the most talked about person at the premiere.

The bald star's super-confident, shit-stirring style is spreading the word in Hollywood.

This weekend, there are four films that will start production on a large scale. Sitting with him in the theater, the agent was a little worried: Disney has given up on Around the World in Eighty Days, and the most competitive ones are Garfield and Around the World in Eighty Days. Wedding Crashers

Vin Diesel worked as a producer successively in Interstellar Legend and Xxx Agent. His vision has been opened, and he has considerable ability as a producer. He said: You are wrong! Garfield There is not much overlap with the audience of Interstellar Legend, but the larger-scale comedies have the same audience, and our competitor is actually only Wedding Crashers.

The manager obviously lacked confidence: The producer of Wedding Crashers is Ronan Anderson!

Vin Diesel is confident: Hehe... the producer of Interstellar Legend is still Vin Diesel!

It is simply funny for others to say this, but it fits Vin Diesel's character very well.

The agent was speechless, and could only remind: How do you think about the audition invitation of Ronan Anderson's Sand Sea Entertainment?

Are they contacting you again? Vin Diesel asked.

The agent nodded: Called me once.

Want me to return to Fast and Furious, it seems that they also know that without Dominique Toretto, they can't continue playing. Vin Diesel's bullishness almost broke through the roof of the theater: You reply to them, It is okay for me to return to the Fast and Furious series, but I have conditions. First, I do not accept auditions. I am the absolute protagonist. How can I audition? Second, the direction of the plot must follow my advice! Third, I ask for the role of Producer, second only to Ronan Anderson's real power producer! Fourth, I need to bring money into the team.

The agent is not surprised, because Vin Diesel has done this in the last two Xxx and Legend of Interstellar.

Okay. The agent replied.

Vin Diesel suddenly said again: Wait for a few days first, and I will reply next week. He looked at the big screen that was gradually lighting up: You said that the box office of Legend of Interstellar can beat Ronan Anderson's box office. Wedding Crashers, can we ask for more money and more power?

The agent didn't answer the call, and he knew very well that his client was a person whose self-confidence was so strong that it exploded.

The premiere of Wedding Crashers was on time in New York on Thursday.

Walking through the red carpet, Ronan was interviewed by a TV reporter.

A reporter from NBC asked: Mr. Anderson, is there a secret to why your films are always successful?

Ronan seemed very calm: Because I always look at film projects from the perspective of a businessman, not an artist, and I always insist on taking the needs of the audience as the production principle. Before launching a film project, I will put myself in the audience's shoes. From the perspective of the film, as the first audience to formulate the rules-I always ask myself first, would I want to watch it? If I don’t even want to watch it, the possibility of failure of this film is relatively high.”

Rachel McAdams, already of Mean Girls fame, passed by just in time to hear Ronan's words and thought it was so true.

That's a great way to say it, Rachel McAdams murmured. If I were filming for the critics, I'd be living in a tiny apartment in Hollywood right now.

Ronan walked into the theater, Connie followed, and said in a low voice, The schedule of Fahrenheit 9/11 has been confirmed, and it will be in two weeks.

I see. Ronan didn't take it seriously.

After Michael Moore's documentary won the Palme d'Or, it found a North American distributor as expected. Although the major companies still had doubts and were unwilling to take the risk of releasing Fahrenheit 9/11, Lionsgate finally stood up. came out and became the North American publisher of Fahrenheit 9/11.

As soon as he entered the theater, Bradley Cooper approached him. He first greeted Ronan respectfully, and then asked cautiously: Mr. Anderson, I signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment for several films. ...

Ronan patted his shoulder lightly: Don't worry, Shahai Entertainment will talk to you about the new movie soon.

Bradley Cooper breathed a sigh of relief and said, Okay, okay.

Ronan didn't say much, if this film can be successful, The Hangover will naturally be put on the production schedule of Shahai Entertainment.
