When the time came to May, North America officially entered the summer season, and major film companies are gearing up to enter this most competitive schedule, and New Line Film Company is also among them.

In the summer of 1997, the competition was extremely fierce, and several blockbusters lined up to get ready to enter.

First came John's "The Matrix", then "Men in Black 2", followed by Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2", "Independence Day 2", and "007: Tomorrow's Empire".

Among them, except for Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2", several other blockbusters are all sequels to the new line, so this year's summer file new line is a lone show!

Hollywood's Huaxia Theatre.

The premiere of "The Matrix" was officially held.

Since its debut at the Super Bowl, this cool movie has whetted the appetite of fans, and with John's second Golden Man and John's second sci-fi film, "The Matrix" has become one of the most anticipated movies by fans this summer.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the premiere officially began, in addition to the invited peers in the theater, there were many fans present, John sat in the front row, next to a female leopard wearing a red dress, the Hollywood hanger has just had the style of a red carpet queen on the red carpet, I have to say that some people are born to eat this bowl of rice.

After the lights go out, the new line and crown intro appear on the big screen, and then the green code fills the entire screen, and the subtitles of the Matrix gradually emerge!

As soon as the scene opened, the female leopard wearing a tight leather suit, long legs, thin waist and hips, successfully attracted all the male audience in the theater, the sound of swallowing saliva came and went, and then a 360-degree rotation, kicking the policeman made everyone's eyes almost pop out.

"Cool!"

Fans waved their little fists, and the female leopard's action poked everyone's cool point.

Just when the audience applauded the action of the female leopard, on the big screen, the female leopard hung an upside-down cross, and then used her hands, feet, knees and elbows to engage in a hand-to-hand fight with the police.

"The Matrix" is a movie from beginning to end, when everyone is used to seeing the brutal action and fight scenes of North American heroes, the fancy action of "The Matrix" is a small freshness, which instantly brings freshness to everyone!

In the film market, young audiences win the world, and young audiences are the biggest contributors to the box office.

At the end of the premiere, John took the team to the stage for a curtain call, and the roaring applause lasted for nearly ten minutes before it fell.

After the premiere, the midnight show officially began, and audiences who did not have the opportunity to attend the premiere bought tickets to enter the theater to have a look, John has not released a bad movie so far, and most fans are very happy with his movie, this is the benefit of the brand.

Of course, there are also propaganda reasons for this.

In the increasingly mature Internet era, the publicity and distribution department of the new line invested part of its propaganda resources on the network for the first time, using the water army to wave the flag and shout in the film and television sector of the chat, and throwing money crazy on various platforms, which attracted many young people with good results.

The new line also settled in Amazon, and put its movie peripherals on Letao for sale, and the peripherals of "The Matrix" began to be sold two days ago, so there were many fans wearing "The Matrix" trench coats, sunglasses, and IBM special flip phones for "The Matrix" into the theater tonight.

When the fans walked into the theater to enjoy an audio-visual feast, John drove back to Purple Star Manor, and Devon Morgan was still resting, sitting on the sofa correcting documents.

"Listening to Nancy say that the premiere was a success, and the audience applauded for almost ten minutes before leaving, it looks like you've succeeded again!" said Devon Morgan, looking up at John.

"The box office results haven't come out yet, and it's a little early to talk about success at this time!" John doesn't like to be slapped in the face, so he has always been relatively low-key, and accidents sometimes come unexpectedly, so he still has to be low-key.

"Have you seen the films made this year?"

"Look, let's execute according to your customization!"

The new line will produce fourteen films this year, John plans to shoot the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy at once, and the other eleven are "Mission Impossible 2", "Rush Hour", "Fast and Furious 2", "The Matrix 2", "Desert Island Survivor", "The Pianist", "Ocean's Eleven", "300 Warriors", "Scream 2", "Ghost Street 8", "Saw 1".

Fourteen films cost more than $1 billion to produce, plus about $1.7 billion in distribution costs, and all the money earned by New Line this year will be invested.

The high risk of the film company is here, like a snowball, it is getting bigger and bigger, once that film is messed up, the funding chain will be affected, of course, the new line can choose to shoot less, but people's desires are endless, since they can make more money, why refuse?

And as the stall gets bigger and bigger, when the superheroes are launched, the new line can't invest even if it wants to, those films are hundreds of millions of dollars of investment at every turn, full of gold-eating monsters, and with the addition of "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Pirates of the Caribbean" These big-budget series, the new line will have to take out a terrifying amount of money every year. Of course, the income is also gratifying!

"If you shoot three films at once, will you delay other work?"

Devin Morgan asked.

John decided to shoot the Lord of the Rings trilogy in one go.

"I don't have to work for three years after filming!" John laughed, making three films at a time, one a year, so that he doesn't have to make films for three years, so that he can also take some time to come out and deal with other affairs.

"Yes!" Davin Morgan nodded.

"Auntie, I decided to merge several film companies, and then you will be in charge of the group's affairs and command the overall situation. ”

"You've decided?"

"It's decided!"

John decided to make the official appearance of the crown, changed the crown studio to the crown media group, and incorporated new lines, pixar, Miramax, Marvel, Universal, NBC, RCA, and Ogilvy into the Crown Media Group, and at the same time launched acquisitions of MGM, Lucas, Warner, and Sony to create the world's first media and entertainment company.

Devin Morgan is the president of the group, and the vice president is the president of Universal and NBC.

CAA was also merged into ICM, with Nancy taking on the role of Group President.

John's layout officially enters the second step.

After Crown Media, Crown Industry, Crown Finance, and Crown Technology were formed, he merged the four companies into Crown Group, and then Crown was a giant involving entertainment, media, finance, advertising, games, publishing, hotel catering, theme parks, Internet, and peripheral manufacturing!

Of course, the financial field and the technology field have not yet been established, mainly because it is now a period of expansion, and many places are investing money, and there is no money left, but he already has the target candidate for the heads of the two companies, and it will be established as soon as the time comes.
