Heads Up Hollywood

This is already mid-December, and 2003 is about to pass.

The major media have started a round of summary reports looking back on this year and looking forward to next year.

"Rolling Stone" magazine selected 2004, which is next year's 10 most anticipated movies——

No. 1, Marvel Studios' "Spider-Man 3."

Since Dunn Walker launched the first "Spider-Man", "Spider-Man" has gradually become the most popular comic superhero in the United States. Although the director of "Spider-Man 3" has been replaced by the little-known Sam Raimi, this cannot stop fans from looking forward to the little spider.

The second place is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by Tang En Pictures.

The film adaptation of the world's biggest hit, Harry Potter, needs no introduction.

The third place is "The Departed Walker" by Tang En Pictures.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Don Walker, with Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett and Mark Wahlberg in supporting roles. Such a creative lineup is enough to attract every movie fan to buy a ticket.

No. 4, DreamWorks' Shrek 2.

Since the success of "Shrek", this series has become the trump card of DreamWorks. The funny and lovely Shrek animated image promotes this film to become the most anticipated cartoon next year.

The fifth place is "Pirate Alliance 2: Dead Man's Chest" by Tang En Pictures.

"Pirate League 1" became the first movie in history to be released in imax format, setting off the era of giant screens. The "pirate trio" of Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, and Anne Hathaway is also loved by movie fans. Although Hathaway's British accent was quite controversial in the first film, this did not affect fans' love for this American sweetheart in the slightest.

The sixth place is "Dumbo" jointly published by Rose Pictures and Disney.

This live-action movie adapted from a classic Disney cartoon is likely to set off a movie-watching frenzy at the end of February next year. It may...become the leading work of Disney in the new era.

No. 7, Universal Pictures' "Bourne Shadow 3".

The "Bourne" series starring Matt Damon has become the most popular spy-themed action movie after "007" and "Mission: Impossible". After the word-of-mouth promotion and popularity accumulation of the first two films, the third "Bourne Shadow" is likely to usher in an explosion.

No. 8, "The Polar Express" by Warner Bros.

This feature-length animation, made with the latest motion capture technology, uses performance retention techniques to make every moment magical. Compared with the computer cgi animation of Pixar and DreamWorks, and Disney's traditional hand-drawn animation, the great director Robert Zemeckis is exploring a new way of animation films.

The 9th place is "Mad Max 4" by Tang En Pictures.

The new work of the classic Doomsday series returns to the big screen again. Mel Gibson, who has grown into Hollywood's number one action star, is bound to reproduce the glory of this series.

No. 10, Warner Bros.' "Troy."

An epic war masterpiece, which cost 175 million U.S. dollars to build. This is Warner's ambitious continuation of the epic masterpiece of the "Lord of the Rings" series.

In addition, "Rolling Stone" also launched ten other movies that are also highly anticipated by the market, namely Pixar's "The Incredibles", Tang En Pictures' "Mechanical Enemy", Universal Pictures' "Meet Your Father-in-Law 2", Pella Monty's "Lemony Snicket," "The Day After Tomorrow" from Down Pictures, "Ghost Rider" from Marvel Studios, "The Princess Diaries 2" from Disney, "The Prestige" from Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Brothers' "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Get Away", and "Flags of Our Fathers" jointly produced by DreamWorks, Warner, and Dunn Pictures.

Among the 20 films, New Universal participated in the production of... a total of 13 films!

In other words, the total value of the market's expectations for the films of all Hollywood film companies is far lower than that of New Universal!

exploded!

New Global's unparalleled position in the industry has been firmly consolidated.

This kind of momentum and arrogance are even worse than the majestic Disney in the previous life!

From now on, New Universal is the spokesperson of Hollywood!

Jealousy is useless and has nothing to do with monopoly.

Hollywood released 506 films in 2003, and it will reach 551 in 2004. The number of New Universal's films is about 50, which is less than one-tenth.

I can only say that the films of other film companies are too disappointing!

The essence of Hollywood is movies.

New Universal's leading position in the film industry has ensured that New Universal will become the industry hegemony of Hollywood.

This provides a strong guarantee for New Global's voice and control in feminism.

Otherwise, why would other Hollywood film giants give the right to speak to New Universal?

This is also the fundamental reason why Tang En devoted himself to feminism a few years ago, and did not officially launch the Women's Rights Protection Foundation and the Women's Rights Protection Association until this year.

Movies are capital, movies are politics, movies are cultural output, and movies are also a symbol of strength in the industry!

Regardless of how small the film market is, throughout 2003, the total box office in North America was only US$9.2 billion, and the total box office worldwide was only US$31 billion.

This is not of the same order of magnitude as the TV industry's output value of nearly one trillion US dollars.

But the influence of the movie is too great.

It has already surpassed the movie itself.

Therefore, despite the fact that Disney's market value is close to 50 billion US dollars, but with the failure of the two films "The Legend of the Bear" and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", Michael Eisner's life is hard again.

"Just tell me if you need help, Disney is an ally of New Universal!"

At the celebration reception of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Tang En offered a drink to the bitter-faced Michael Eisnard with a smile.

Michael Eisner took a sip of the mellow champagne, felt bitterer than American coffee, and said depressedly: "I really thought that "The Chronicles of Narnia" would last like the "Harry Potter" series. It's very popular. But I didn't expect that this is only the second part... Hey!"

Tang En suppressed a smile, and sighed with a look of solidarity: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. I supervised the production of the first "The Chronicles of Narnia", and the box office reached 700 million U.S. dollars, right? I really didn't expect that." ..."

Michael Eisner shook his head and said: "When the performance is booming, the contradictions will dive into the bottom of the water. But when there is a problem, the contradictions will surface."

"oh?"

Tang En was taken aback.

Seeing Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum, the leading actors and actresses of "The Day After Tomorrow", come to say hello, he waved his hand and refused, his heart beat, and the opportunity to make money came.

Maybe... You can take advantage of the trend and sell Sillywood Animation Studio at a high price!

It's okay to have conflicts!

The more anxious Michael Eisner was, the more sure Twain could win!

"what happened?"

"About Ovitz."

Tang En was a little surprised, "Michael Ovitz? Has something to do with him?"

Michael Eisner glanced at him, "Aren't you the behind-the-scenes boss of Legendary Pictures, don't you know how much money Legendary Pictures made this year?"

Tang En smiled and said, "I know, the pre-tax profit is less than 600 million US dollars."

"600 million dollars..."

Michael Eisner curled his lips again and again, his face was very ugly, "Disney's movie business, this year's profit... will not exceed 200 million US dollars, less than half of Legendary Pictures!"

Tang En suddenly realized.

It turned out that someone was jealous.

Qianbo is touching!

"It's good to be profitable. Sony Pictures and Paramount are still in the red." Tang En looked very relaxed.

As if humiliated, Michael Eisner roared, "Don't forget, Disney has dozens of pearl-like classic cartoons! The income from discs alone can earn 400 million U.S. dollars every year!"

Tang En's face changed slightly.

okay.

It turned out to be a solid family background.

If there were no Disney cartoons accumulated over the past few decades, Disney's film business this year, just like Sony Pictures and Paramount, would also be losing money.

"Ahem, what's wrong with Ovitz?" Dunn quickly changed the subject.

Michael Eisner said helplessly: "There is a director who wants to accuse him...and me. I think that there was insider trading when I hired him as the president of Disney. I think that the $120 million liquidated damages I paid him, Too much."

"No way?" Tang En was very surprised. "No one in the United States knows that in order to take care of Disney's interests, you broke up with this good brother back then."

Michael Eisner said distressedly: "Yes, but some people don't think so. But then again, Ovitz back then...a lot of things were really annoying."

"What's wrong?"

"Too much. Disney is being investigated internally. Although it's only part of it, it's shocking enough. He spent $1.1 million on food, drink and travel, and another $3.7 million on decorating a luxurious office..."

"What?"

Tang En opened his eyes wide, looking incredible.

Spending $3.7 million to furnish an office?

Isn't this Nima too ridiculous?

His office area, more than a dozen rooms, and even a gym, piano room, bedroom, swimming pool, and many high-end furniture, stereos, flowers, etc., cost a total of more than 5 million US dollars.

This is already a sky-high price.

In 1996, Michael Ovitz spent $3.7 million renovating his office? Is this a golden house built?

Prodigal son!

unacceptable!

If you say there is nothing tricky in it, no one will believe it.

It's no wonder that a shareholder meeting within Disney has accused Michael Ovitz. If it were Twain, he wouldn't let it go.

"You know, Disney's high-rise office area is on the fourth floor. But when Ovitz took office, there was no vacant office on the fourth floor, so I arranged for him to work on the third floor first. That is to say, he spent 1 million US dollars first, The office on the third floor was refurbished; after moving to the fourth floor, it cost another $2.7 million to redecorate the office on the fourth floor.”

Michael Eisner said expressionlessly, but it was obvious that there was something in the words.

Everyone knows that Michael Ovitz is following Tang En in Hollywood!

These words were intended for Tang En to listen to.

"Okay, I'll try to deal with this matter." Tang En sighed, feeling very helpless, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to go to court to confront each other. Back then when you met Katzenberg in court, it affected your reputation too much. .”

Michael Eisner smiled, "That's the work!"(https:)
