Chapter 839 Four Doors Open Together, Two Ways to Do It
Soon, Secret Capital acquired 51 percent of Millennium's shares, thus becoming the new owner of Millennium.
Under the bombardment of heavyweight news such as Fox's impact on the top of the six major Hollywood and Xu Yuan's amazing wealth, it is very likely to start multiple movie shooting at the same time.
Millennium is just a medium-sized company, and its changes don't get much attention.
Every year, several of these companies declare bankruptcy, and then several more of these upstarts appear.
This is Hollywood.
It's just that no one notices that the CEO of Millennium hasn't changed, and that he also secretly met with Hollywood star Gerard Butler before moving in with his new owner.
Gerard Butler's most famous character is the King of Sparta in 300, Leonidas.
This made him known to fans around the world.
But after that, his acting career has not been smooth, and he has never been recognized by awards in Hollywood.
In addition, Leonida is too classic, and he himself wants to transform, so he starred in some comedy movies, but the effect is still not very good, and the box office and word-of-mouth are difficult to satisfy the public.
In the end, he starred as the second male lead, the villain Seth in "God Wars: Eyes of Power".
But it's a pity that this mythical blockbuster with an investment of 140 million yuan finally hit the street at the box office, and the total box office of Beimi was only 30 million. The loss is more than 100 million yuan, which is simply a death for the producer.
Gerard Butler also lost his last chance.
He was abandoned by Hollywood.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that "Eye of Power" had already been filmed, Xu Yuan would not have given Zemeckis not four scripts, but five!
It's a pity to miss such an awesome movie.
Of course, Trevor didn't find Butler to taunt him.
It's about giving him one last chance.
Let him star in a film.
Trevaux: "Butler, our new owner, is calling for you to play the lead actor in the new movie. ”
Butler: "There aren't many people who still dare to ask me to film. Can I know who it is?"
Trevor: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you who he is, but he's confident enough in his vision because he's never failed. ”
Butler was stunned.
This Nima, the acquisition of the millennium is...... Xu Yuan?
Don't ask him why he knows.
There is only one person who has never failed in Hollywood.
The two sides, who were already in difficulty, hit it off.
After getting director Anthony Foquuea, Millennium's project was quickly set up, and filming started when it started.
The movie they filmed, which cost 70 million to make, starred Gerard Butler, Alan Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman. In Trevor's words, this is an "Avengers" movie.
Because these actors have more or less been poisoned by Fox Films.
Among them, Alan Eckhart even starred in the Battle of Los Angeles, which has since become box office poison.
And the director of the Battle of Los Angeles, Jonathan, has now been invited by Fox to start filming their fifth film of the year, the second big production, and the second film "Shocking Crisis" that belongs to Xu Yuan's script!
The film also has another name called The Fall of the White Palace.
And coincidentally, this movie was made at the millennium, and the name is "The Fall of Olympus", and of course, it also has a name that is "The Fall of the White Palace"!
From the name, you can also figure out some flavors.
The scripts of these two movies are very similar, and the main elements are exactly the same.
The only difference may be the lineup.
Oh, there's another difference. That is Fox Films' "The Fall of the White Palace" was vigorously filmed, and the production cost exceeded 100 million meters.
The millennium "The Fall of Olympus" cost only 70 million to make, and it was low-key start-up.
Before "The Fall of Olympus" was not renamed, no one could see that these two movies were made with the same story.
Conspiracy, open and secret fighting.
The means should be complete.
The millennium and "The Fall of Olympus" are Xu Yuan's conspiracy.
And Yang Mou ......
......
It's been a few days since Disney spoke out.
Soon, Disney also proved that their cooperation with Xu Yuan was on the agenda.
They announced Xu Yuan's latest animated image, and announced that they and Xu Yuan's animated movie officially started filming. Light and dark, both pronged.
It was a square-rimmed glasses, square-headed, ugly doll.
It's an old grandfather, and he doesn't seem to be very popular with children.
In response, Fox Film issued a rampant ridicule.
They released a video.
In the video, Zemeckis takes the character image of "Mars Needs Mom" and this square-headed character to ask many children: "Child, which one do you like?" ”
Without exception, everyone chose the characters in "Mars Needs Mom".
Even, some children were scared and cried by the strange square head.
Zemeckis: "There will be no good works in a hurry, such a character, do any children really like to watch it?
It's rare that Zemeckis, who has been reduced to a street rat, has not been sprayed by everyone.
Because there is some truth to what he said.
Just looking at his appearance, Old Man Fang is really not good.
This is no longer aesthetics, this is ugliness?
However, Xu Yuan responded: "First, no matter what the ending is, you have never won, because the two characters were designed by me." ”
Slap in the face.
"Second, I still think that cartoons are made for children, which shows how ignorant your mind is. Below, I will tell you the supreme truth of the cartoon industry, which is the reward for being a dog by my side for a year. ”
"That is, the really top cartoons, not only children, but adults can watch them, and they like to watch them!
Looking at Xu Yuan's speech, Roy and other Disney executives fell into deep thought.
They had already discovered some of the scripts and various characters of Xu Yuan's latest cartoon when they got them, and now, Xu Yuan directly summed it up, and they were even more shocked.
Disney seems to have found a good way.
Cartoons and fairy tales that can only be truly successful when made for adults?
It's kind of interesting.
Soon, Disney's animated film was also known to everyone.
"Flying House Travel" has a name that is not distinctive, but that old man Fang has to say that it impresses everyone.
However, judging from the investment, everyone is still not very optimistic about the script of the cartoon produced by Xu Yuan.
Because the production cost of "Mars Needs Mom" is as high as 130 million.
The production cost of "Flying House Travel" is said to be terrifying 150 million!
The actual cost of both is likely to be more.
This means that they all need terrible box office to be profitable.
It was expected to be a lose-lose battle.
But Fox can afford to lose because they still have three movies that are sure to win. Four big productions, four doors open. So in this movie, if they don't lose, they win, and if they lose, they don't necessarily win.
Disney can afford to lose, and the family has a big business, and "Flying House" is just one of their many productions this year. And in the past two years, they have benefited very well, and it is not unbearable to lose two or three of such blockbusters.
But I can't afford to lose.
Although he has deep pockets, he is here for revenge, and if he doesn't win, he loses.
