Chapter 7859 Compensation

"Robin Hood" starring Russell Crowe has attracted enough attention, and it cost 2 million US dollars to produce. It is also a biographical film about the legendary British hero "Robin Hood".

The premiere of this film started off flat, and there was no applause at the end of the film. In contrast, the press conference was much hotter. This is the case all over the world. As long as there are stars, the film can get enough attention.

However, when the TV media set up a camera at the exit of the theater to interview the audience one by one, most of the interviewees said that "the film is very ordinary" and "that's all".

"Political turmoil, ancestral roots seeking, love budding and other three lines go hand in hand, making the story bloated and cumbersome. The character creation is incomplete and superficial, the lack of climax in the whole story limits the enthusiasm for watching the movie, and the cultural atmosphere and the charm of the times cannot save the whole movie."

The word-of-mouth of this epic film on the Internet, the moment of the premiere and the early end of the film have already fallen.

"Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett play the leading roles, I can't think of a more uninteresting on-screen couple, and it's a disaster."

David? Ellison wants this film to succeed, but there are too many traditional forces in Hollywood do not want him to succeed, Duke is just one of them.

If the film's audience had a good reputation, there wasn't really much they could do, but the film's reputation was so poor, especially when Russell Crowe's Robin Hood was fat and old, and people complained like crazy.

Many people in Hollywood quietly and tacitly united to suppress "Robin Hood", not only for David Ellison, but also for Russell Crowe's relationship.

The former Oscar winner and member of the 20 million club.Temperament is very similar to Mel Gibson, almost synonymous with arrogance and arrogance. In the years when he was the most popular and most appealing, his attitude towards film companies and brokerage companies was beyond description. There is sufficient market value for consideration of commercial interests.Those people can put up with it, but just like Tom Cruise once, when the career decline, they will naturally stick out their feet and kick him hard a few times.

As "Robin Hood" hits the big screen on Friday, the scandal about Russell Crowe and "Robin Hood" is spreading almost at lightning speed online, with instant sharing and key positions on sites like Google.relevant information can be seen.

It mainly mentioned that when "Robin Hood" was in preparation, Russell Crowe asked to change the director, change the script, and replace the heroine Sienna Miller on the eve of filming.

The 44-year-old Russell Crowe is no longer the muscular burly man he once was, but now he is another version of Tom Hanks, despite Disney's strict fitness plan for him.But he didn't get rid of the fat at all. He had a sex scene with the heroine in "Robin Hood" and worried that he would be old and fat, while the original Sienna Miller was young and beautiful with a slender figure.He would definitely become a laughing stock if the two had a sex scene, so he asked the producer to replace Sienna Miller.

Big stars always have privileges.Sienna Miller thus lost a leading lady, and the relatively unattractive Cate Blanchett took her place.

Once all these news were widely circulated, coupled with Robin Hood's wide body and fat appearance in the film, Russell Crowe suddenly became the laughing stock of the whole United States...

Although Disney and Russell Crowe's William Morris tried their best to refute the rumors.It is said that Sienna Miller left the crew because of the unsuitable schedule, but the ridicule of Russell Crowe can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

"Russell Crowe is too much..."

"Should replace him with Whoopi Goldberg..."

A male protagonist who is not popular with the audience will undoubtedly drag down a movie, not to mention the quality of the movie itself is really mediocre.

Perhaps because of Ridley Scott's good reputation built up over decades, and the fact that the information on the Internet has not been fully fermented, on the Friday when "Robin Hood" was released, more than 3600 million US dollars were received from more than 1000 theaters in North America. A little bit of box office, ranked second in the box office list of the day, not particularly bad.

In front of it is Duke's "Inception". This film easily won the single-day box office champion with 1327 million US dollars.

And on Saturday, the single-day box office of "Inception" rose to 1456 million US dollars, but "Robin Hood" suffered a sharp decline due to the extremely poor reputation of the audience and the drag of negative news, and only received 621 million US dollars that day.

Compared with the huge investment in production costs and publicity of "Robin Hood", everyone can see at this time that this will be a film that will make investors rush to the street and vomit blood.

"Ruth, good news..."

In an independent apartment in West Hollywood, a middle-aged woman hurried into the fitness room and said to Sienna Miller who was sweating profusely on the treadmill, "The box office of "Robin Hood" fell far short of expectations in the first week!"

Upon hearing this, Sienna Miller immediately turned off the treadmill, picked up the towel hanging around her neck to wipe off the sweat, and said to her manager, "Do you have any specific figures?"

"In the first three days, I only got close to 2100 million US dollars." The manager walked over quickly, "This movie will definitely lose money, and it will be a big loss! CinemaScore predicts that the final North American box office of this film will not exceed $5000 million!"

Sienna Miller had a rare smile on her originally stiff face. Films like "Robin Hood" can indeed recoup the investment through various channels, but how many years will it take? 20 years or 30 years?How to calculate the resulting time cost and currency depreciation?

She knew very well that the film was doomed!

"It's better to pay more!" Sienna Miller put away her smile and said through gritted teeth, "Let David Ellison suffer even more losses, and let that bastard Russell Crowe get out of the frontline position completely." Come down!"

Russell Crowe kept pushing her out of the cast, and David Ellison accepted his request to make the decision to replace her.

From that moment on, Sienna Miller hated them to the extreme, and hoped that "Robin Hood" would fail in her heart.

And her agency, Sienna Miller and Russell Crowe both belong to William Morris, and William Morris must be biased towards Russell Crowe in this matter. After all, compared to the other party, she is just a Little stars only.

Thinking of William Morris, Sienna Miller's long-considered matter came to mind again. She wanted to change a brokerage company, and someone had contacted her, but she was always hesitant.

She asked her manager, "What about Inception? How much did it get this weekend?"

"$3925 million!" The manager seems to know what Sienna Miller is thinking, "Duke Rosenberg's film has achieved three consecutive championships, the North American box office has exceeded 3 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 8 million Dollars!"

After a pause, the manager said tentatively, "Ruth, how do you think about Nancy Josephson's invitation?"

Sienna Miller frowned, but didn't answer right away.

Seeing that she seemed to be a little hesitant, the manager couldn't help persuading her, "William Morris has gone too far with Russell Crowe's matter. They don't pay enough attention to you. On the other hand, ICM, Nancy Joseph Sessen not only personally invited you ,and……"

She emphasized her tone, "Joining ICM means that it is very possible to cooperate with Duke Rosenberg! Don't you want to seize this opportunity?"

No fool would want to take this opportunity!

Sienna Miller is certainly not a fool. She only thought about it for a few seconds before she nodded heavily, "Go and contact Nancy Josephson."

With the arrival of the working day, the single-day box office of "Robin Hood" plummeted to the level of 100 million U.S. dollars, destined to become the first major commercial production to fail completely in this summer, while "Inception" continued its stable box office trend, with North American box office crossing After passing the threshold of US$3 million, it is striving to move towards the direction of US$4 million, and the global box office is also steadily approaching the billion-dollar mark.

"Four big productions, David Ellison already screwed up the first one!"

In the lounge of the Duke's Manor, Scarlett Johansson put down the script she had been studying recently, and said to Duke who was peeling an orange, "Even if the published data is watery, the combined investment in "Robin Hood" will at least exceed 3 million U.S. dollars, nearly half of which is David Ellison's investment, and he must be very distressed."

Duke shrugged, "He has a rich father."

That is to say, but Larry Ellison's money is not blown by the wind. If David Ellison messes up too many times, Larry Ellison will not tolerate it without limit.

After peeling the orange, Duke shared half with Scarlett, and at the same time threw a slice into his mouth, "I really want to see, if all four productions fail, will David Ellison still be able to stay here?" In the circle, continue to play with his big skills."

"It shouldn't take long." Scarlett muttered while eating an orange, "It is said that Disney is already making release plans for "Tron Legacy", "Alien Battlefield" and "Super Battleship."

She seemed to think of something and reminded Duke, ""Tron Wars" will be released in December this year, and it is likely to coincide with our new film."

The new film has already passed the review of Warner Bros., and Duke plans to start formal preparations in June. He wants to catch up with next year's Oscars, and the time is quite tight.

Just as he was thinking about this, there was a light knock on the door, and Tina Fey pushed the door and walked in, and said to Duke, "Martin Miller of William Morris wants to ask you to meet?"

Duke frowned slightly, what did Natalie Portman's agent ask him for? (to be continued~^~)
