Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 601: Time for War

Documentary director Michael Moore blatantly bombarded the Bush administration's policies and the Iraq war at the Oscars ceremony, sparking ongoing public controversy.

Recently, the White House finally came forward and held a press conference, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Jerry Bruckheimer, Kevin Costner, Ridley Scott Special Hollywood celebrities, all appeared.

At the meeting, Spielberg declared: "If President Bush has credible intelligence, as I think, that Saddam Hussein is building weapons of mass destruction, I cannot but support his policy. "

Tom Cruise also stated to reporters: "President Bush's policies are reliable and realistic!"

James Woods even said frankly: "I love George Walker Bush, I have always loved it!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger said: "Know what 'La Mestan' means in English? Just to beat the crap out of each other!"

Not to mention Jerry Bruckheimer, a producer with a smarter mind than anyone else, who truthfully stated, "Most of the low-level stars in Hollywood don't care much about military operations outside the United States."

Not only that, because of his sinking in the film market, Jerry Bruckheimer began to set his sights on the TV market, and cooperated with the Ministry of Defense to produce a TV program "Frontline Files", which truthfully reflected the situation on the frontline and those State violations of human rights.

Compared with Michael Moore, a low-level documentary director who can no longer be a minority, the remarks of these people represent the mainstream voice of Hollywood.

Hollywood is Hollywood.

A group of entertainers working hard in the entertainment industry, unless they are forced to win positions, no one will do anything to offend the White House.

Originally, at the end of 2002, 104 stars in Hollywood signed their names on the slogan "Winning Without a Fight Artists Alliance".

But now?

These heretical voices have disappeared.

Even if there are celebrities who make fun of President Bush Jr., this is a common phenomenon in the United States, and there will be no violent criticism at all.

Back when the first Gulf War broke out, Tommy Lee Jones, James Woods, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere, Hobby Goldberg, Bell More than 100 Hollywood stars, such as Tert Midler and Kurt Russell, collaborated to record a public welfare song "Love Reminder".

Lyrics include, "Right or wrong, may you always be strong. So here we are, singing along."

But here comes the problem.

Do these people... really agree with the federal policy of going to war?

not necessarily!

After the Oscars, the Hollywood industry held many meetings in a row, and Twain also participated in five or six meetings. He already had a clear instruction on the direction of public opinion in the industry.

You must not sing against the government!

Michael Moore's scandal crisis must be minimized!

Otherwise, it will seriously affect the overall interests of Hollywood.

Not to mention anything else, if the federal government introduces a policy to cancel the Ministry of Defense's budgetary endorsement of Hollywood blockbusters, it will be a big loss.

This includes not only war films and military films, but films like "Spiderman", "Tomb Raider", and "The Departed" that punish evil and promote good, defend national security, and maintain world peace may all apply Department of Defense budget.

Every year, at least between 300 million and 500 million US dollars!

Under the joint control of Disney, New Universal, Warner, Paramount, Columbia, MGM, major brokerage companies, as well as the Producers Association, Film Association and many other institutions.

Radical speech in Hollywood has been well controlled.

Next, this year's Oscar winner for best documentary, Michael Moore, was miserable.

Although the major Hollywood film companies have not issued an order to block him, they are almost there.

Who dares to use this kind of broom star?

Self righteous prick!

Michael Moore originally won an Oscar and reached the pinnacle of his life. He may even enter the mainstream film circle and enter another world of luxury and money.

But he didn't expect that his acceptance speech directly made him fall from the peak of his life to the bottom of his life in just over a month.

Almost everyone yelled and beat them.

He is very angry!

Who should I hate?

The first to bear the brunt is naturally President Bush Jr.!

Michael Moore has decided that he wants to make a movie that "plays tricks" on President Bush Jr. He wants Bush Jr. to pay a heavy price for what happened to him!

He had already thought of the name of the movie, and it was called "Fahrenheit 9/11"!

...

As Twain's "Spider-Man" became popular all over the world and sold a box office of 1.26 billion US dollars, it seemed that the spring of manga movies had arrived.

Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men", Sony Entertainment's "Men in Black", and Warner Bros. have also restarted the "Batman" project.

Now, another superhero of Marvel Studios is about to debut - Daredevil!

The official title of the film is Daredevil: Beginning.

The film will be released simultaneously in 17 countries including the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, France, Germany, Australia, and Canada on May 22!

With the advent of economic globalization, the synchronous release of Hollywood commercial blockbusters in countries around the world has become more and more mainstream.

For this reason, it also brought a lot of trouble to the distribution company and the main creative team.

With simultaneous release in so many countries, what kind of route will the main creative team use to promote it in various countries?

No matter how you arrange it, you must allow enough time.

This led to a North American premiere, much earlier than the release date.

Thursday, May 8.

The premiere of "Daredevil: Beginning of War" was held at an IMAX theater owned by AMC Theaters on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.

In addition to the main creators of the film, almost all entertainment media in the United States were also invited.

This is another superhero grandly launched by Marvel Pictures after "Spider-Man".

What about the content of the film?

"Spider-Man 1" was directed by Dunn Walker himself, and "Spider-Man 2" was also directed by the great British director Ridley Scott, which made the "Spider-Man" series a great success.

Now, Marvel Pictures has launched a superhero "Daredevil" who is far less famous than "Spider-Man", and the director is still an unknown newcomer Christopher Nolan.

can this work?

Don't screw up a $120 million blockbuster!

Not only the outside media, but even the newly appointed vice president of film and television entertainment, Shirley Lansing, is also suspicious about this.

Tang En simply invited her to the premiere.

She joined New Universal too late, and she didn't see the few internal screenings before "Daredevil: Beginning of War".

After more than 20 minutes of the opening ceremony, the lights in the 228-seat IMAX hall finally dimmed.

The video is about to start!

To En's left is Christopher Nolan, and to his right is Shirley Lansing.

"Are you nervous?" Tang En asked in a low voice to the left.

"It's okay." Nolan shook his head, then smiled, "I think the company should be more nervous than me."

Tang En didn't take it seriously, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the company's confidence in you is stronger than your confidence in yourself!"

Nolan gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Once again, he deeply felt Tang En's attention.

A scholar dies for his confidant.

He had already made up his mind that as long as Tang En was willing, he would continue to cooperate with New Universal in filming for the rest of his life.

The large screen, more than 20 meters wide, suddenly went dark.

It's time for war, here we come!
