"Around the World in 80 Days" premiered at the Hollywood Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday, but the $110 million production was somewhat shabby.

After the interview, Jack Chan walked slowly towards the theater, and the agent followed from behind.

"The investment in this film is also more than 100 million US dollars. Jack Chan was very dissatisfied: "What exactly does Disney want to do?"

The agent whispered: "Disney's five rounds of internal test screenings, not optimistic about this film, due to the low internal rating, in terms of publicity, Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, who strongly promoted this project, was criticized by another force within Disney." ”

Jack Chan changed to Cantonese: "These ......"

originally thought that Disney threw out a piece of cake, but now I can see that this is clearly a pit.

Cooperating with such an internally unstable company is really a pit daddy!

Jack Chan sighed helplessly, knowing that his good situation in Hollywood was about to take a sharp turn.

On the platform on the second floor of the premiere theater, the elderly Roy Disney watched the crowded and lively premiere and found the figure of Tony Cross, the director of the live-action production department.

In recent years, there have been few great movies coming out of Disney.

Roy Disney believes that this has something to do with Michael Eisner's cronyism, which has been miserable since Tony Close took over the top position in Disney's live-action production department in 2000.

Originally, Disney had a partner like Jerry Bruckheimer, but neither Jerry Bruckheimer could save Disney's live-action films.

From 2000 to the present, if you look closely, any Disney personnel should have a sad mood.

Since Disney entered the new century, the most profitable movie produced by Disney is "The Princess Diaries......

Tony Close is simply a mediocre talent!

Of course, Roy Disney won't know that Disney's most successful live-action film since the new century no longer belongs to them.

Someone walked up.

Roy Disney didn't look back and asked, "Patrick, is Michael Eisner here?"

"Nope. Patrick Disney said: "I get the exact news that Michael Eisner won't be coming. ”

Roy Disney nodded slowly and said, "I promoted the project, but I was not responsible for it to the end!"

Patrick Disney answered: "Dad, we should hold him accountable. ”

Roy Disney waved his hand: "It's not time yet." ”

Patrick Disney added: "If this continues, Disney's film department will be finished." ”

"No, it won't. Roy Disney saw it more clearly: "Disney still has a foundation, we can only wait for the most suitable opportunity." ”

Patrick Disney, although he is not too young, does not have the composure of Roy Disney, and said urgently: "In the last two board meetings, we have three key positions of manpower, and Michael Eisner has been replaced......"

Roy Disney waved his hand again: "We are at a disadvantage, patience is necessary for the time being, and now that Disney is not doing well, the stronger Michael Eisner is, the more dissatisfied the shareholders will be with him, as long as the time is right, we can push behind." ”

"I understand, Father, I understand all of this. Patrick Disney said, "But Disney is our Disney after all." ”

Roy Disney said slowly: "Disney is no longer our Disney, only in this way can it become the Disney we control." ”

Patrick Disney is silent.

Roy Disney said, "We certainly can't let Disney collapse. You're now the head of the DVD distribution department, and according to my plan, I'm going to launch the platinum version and make some achievements for the shareholders to see. ”

Patrick Disney responded, "I'll try." ”

Roy Disney sighed softly, Disney has been eating the old book for the past few years.

The so-called Platinum Edition Project is also the old plan, and the DVD department will select ten classic animated films, including "The Lion King", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid", etc., into the Platinum Archive Program and release new Collector's Edition DVDs.

In order to attract customers, this series of DVDs will be released for a limited time, after which it will be out of print.

Of course, this is the only version that is out of print, and it is not difficult to release the Gold version or other versions of the DVD in the future.

Patrick Disney asked again, ""Around the World in 80 Days, and we'll let it go?"

Roy Disney said: "The box office of the film has not come out yet, and all predictions are not final, and we will wait until the box office comes out." He looked outside the theater again: ""King Arthur promoted by Tony Close, I heard that the internal test screening was not well received?"

"Yes. Patrick Disney said.

Roy Disney turned around and walked towards the second-floor exit, waiting for Patrick Disney to catch up, saying, "Be patient, King Arthur is more expensive." ”

Patrick Disney understands that with Michael Eisner, a "Around the World in Eighty Days" may not be able to do Tony Cross, but what about a "King Arthur" with a higher investment?

However, he also has doubts, "King Arthur" is the work of Jerry Bruckheimer, could it be that Jerry Bruckheimer will also miss out on big productions?

The premiere of "Star Saga" was held the day after "Around the World in Eighty Days".

Vin Diesel was the most talked-about person at the premiere.

The bald star's super-confident and-stirring style is gradually spreading in Hollywood.

"This weekend, four films were opened on a large scale. The agent sat in the theater with him, a little worried: ""Around the World in 80 Days", Disney has given up, and the most competitive ones are "Garfield" and "Wedding Aoke""

Vin Diesel has served as a producer in "Star Legend" and "Extreme Agent", and his horizons have been opened, and he also has considerable ability as a producer, saying: "You are not right! The audience of "Garfield" and "Star Legend" does not overlap much, but the larger comedy has the same audience, and our competitor is actually only "Wedding Proud". ”

The agent is obviously not confident: "The producer of "Wedding Guests" is Ronan Anderson!"

Vin Diesel has the confidence of a fan: "Hehe...... the producer of "Star Legends" is still Vin Diesel!"

It's funny for others to say it, but it's very much in line with Vin Diesel's character.

The agent was speechless and could only remind: "How did you consider the audition invitation for Ronan Anderson's Sand Sea Entertainment?"

"Did they contact you again?" Vin Diesel asked.

The agent nodded: "Called me once." ”

"They want me to come back to Fast & Furious, and it seems that they know they can't play without Dominic Toretto. Vin Diesel's bullishness almost broke through the roof of the theater: "You reply to them and let me return to the Fast and Furious series, but I have the conditions." First, I don't accept auditions, I'm the absolute protagonist, how can I audition? Second, the plot must listen to my suggestions! Third, I asked to be the producer, second only to Ronan Anderson, the real producer! Fourth, I need to bring money into the group. ”

The agent is not surprised, as the last two "Extreme Agent" and "Star Legends", Vin Diesel did just that.

"Okay. The agent responded.

Vin Diesel suddenly added: "Wait a few days and get back next week." He looked at the big screen that was gradually lighting up: "You said that "Star Legends" can beat Ronan Anderson's "Wedding Guest" at the box office, can we ask for more pay and more power?"

The broker didn't answer, knowing full well that his client was a person with explosive self-confidence.

On Thursday, the premiere of "Wedding Guests" took place on time in New York.

Walking across the red carpet, Ronan was specially interviewed by a TV reporter.

A reporter from NBC asked, "Mr. Anderson, is there a secret to why your films are always successful?"

Ronan is particularly calm: "Because I always look at film projects from the perspective of a businessman, not an artist, and I always insist on taking the needs of the audience as the principle of production, before I start a film project, I will put myself in the perspective of the audience, and make the rules as the first audience of the film - I always ask myself first, will I want to see it? If I don't even want to watch it, the possibility of failure of this film is relatively large." ”

Rachel McAdams, who had already become famous by "Mean Girls", passed by and happened to hear Ronan's words and thought it was too right.

That's a great thing to say. Rachel McAdams whispered to herself, "If I were filming for the critics, I would still have to live in a small apartment in Hollywood." ””

Ronan walked into the theater, and Connie followed, whispering, "The schedule for Fahrenheit 911 has been set, just two weeks later." ”

"I see. Ronan didn't pay much attention to it.

After Michael Moore's documentary won the Palme d'Or, it unsurprisingly found a distributor in North America, and although major companies were still skeptical and unwilling to risk releasing "Fahrenheit 911", Lionsgate eventually stepped forward and became the North American distributor of "Fahrenheit 911".

As soon as he entered the theater, Bradley Cooper came over, first greeted Ronan respectfully, and then cautiously asked: "Mr. Anderson, I have signed a number of film contracts with Shahai Entertainment, and I will ...... later."

Ronan patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Shahai Entertainment will talk to you about a new film soon." ”

Bradley Cooper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay. ”

Ronan didn't say much, if this film can be successful, "The Hangover" will naturally be put on the production schedule of Shahai Entertainment.
