"Catwoman" became the first big joke of this summer file.

This superhero movie, which cost up to $100 million to produce, was released for three days, with a freshness rating of only 43% on Rotten Tomatoes and an IMDB score of 5.3, which can be called a bad movie!

The box office also reacted in earnest, with the North American box office in its opening weekend at only $14 million.

In contrast, "Spy 2", which was released on the same day and cost only $75 million, opened at the box office of $53 million, almost four times that of "Catwoman"!

The market reputation has been thrown off a lot.

On Rotten Tomatoes, 39 media gave ratings, of which, 30 were fresh and 9 were rotten, with a freshness of 77%!

The user rating on IMDb was also as high as 7.8 at one point!

It's definitely a must-see in action-themed movies!

At the celebration party of "Ghost Rider", Don saw Matt Damon, but he didn't give him a good face, and said lightly: "Harvey Weinstein's side, everything has been dealt with?"

Matt Damon said with a little bitterness: "Except for a dividend of more than $700,000 owed to me by Miramax, those ties in the past have been severed. ”

Don nodded, "By the way, how much did you get paid in "Spy 2"?"

"$10 million. ”

"Satisfied?"

"Uh......"

Matt Damon stopped talking, unsure of Donn's meaning.

The more money, of course, the better!

Don said: "You are Natalie's senior, and you take good care of her, I know all this. ”

Matt Damon's heart was relieved and a smile appeared, "It should be, it should be." ”

Tang En said softly, ""Spy Shadow is a great movie series, as long as you stick to it, by the time you get to Spy 4, you are fully eligible to get a salary of $20 million." Your Hollywood career will also develop by leaps and bounds and become a real A-list star. But the premise is not to go down the wrong path, to have a clear judgment, understand?"

Give a sweet date and slap it again.

With the combination of grace and power, Don En has already played perfectly.

Matt Damon immediately assured: "I understand, Harvey Weinstein's kind of person, I will never have anything to do with it again." In this matter, Director Tarantino's handling was very bad. ”

Tang En was satisfied with his statement, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Shoot well, your future will be full of brightness!"

After beating Matt Damon, Donn walked up to Cliff Owen.

He is the superhero "Ghost Rider"!

Seeing Donn, Cliff Owen's tall and big body, he immediately humbled down, bent down slightly, and said with a respectful smile: "Mr. Walker......"

Tang En glanced at the two people next to him, and after "chasing" away, he smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Paramount's movie, it's about to be released, right?"

This summer, there will be two commercial blockbusters starring Cliff Owen!

In addition to Marvel Studios' Ghost Rider, there's Paramount's King Arthur!

For Cliff Irving, who turned 40, it was definitely a late bloomer.

Back then, he shot an advertisement for a BMW car, and his masculine charm was on full display. Soon became favored by Hollywood, and took on many small roles.

The year before last, fate turned around, and he took over the Marvel Studios project "Ghost Rider"!

Last year, he received an invitation from Jerry Bruckheimer to shoot the historical blockbuster "King Arthur"!

It's a step-by-step rhythm!

But how can it be that simple?

Who doesn't know that Donn and Paramount, and Jerry Bruckheimer are in an animosus-side relationship?

Cliff Owen was heartbroken and said, "Yes...... yes, it's going to be released this week. ”

Tang En glanced at him and said lightly, "Do you know why I didn't stop you in the first place?"

Cliff Owen doesn't know!

Last year, "Ghost Rider" had not yet been released, and he was still a small person in Hollywood, he couldn't afford to mess with Donn, and he couldn't afford to mess with Jerry Bruckheimer!

"Yes...... Is it to give me a chance to develop?"

"Sort of. ”

Don smiled.

Cliff Owen smiled and thought it wouldn't be that simple.

Sure enough, he listened to Tang En's voice and said in a deep voice: "There are some things that you won't remember if you don't experience and learn a lesson." Cliff, you're my favorite actor, and I'm going to hand over 'Ghost Rider' to you, because I think you're going to have a great career prospect. But without experiencing a little setback, you simply won't understand how important Marvel is to your career. ”

Cliff Owen reacted for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, "Frustration, Mr. Walker, you mean...... Are you saying that the King Arthur movie is going to fail?"

"Of course!"

"You've seen that movie?"

"Do you need it?"

"Uh......"

Cliff Owen was dumbfounded.

A touch of contempt flashed between Tang En's eyebrows, and he said lightly: "Jerry Bruckheimer is finished, and the market has long proven that his set is outdated." But Paimon doesn't believe in evil, and thinks about reviving Paramount's great cause. Wait for the results, and you will see the reality. ”

What should be beaten, must be beaten!

Matt Damon experienced Harvey Weinstein's affair and felt a career crisis, so he could honestly cooperate with Universal Pictures to shoot the "Spy" series.

This is an old project of Universal Pictures, but it has signed a contract for 3 films in accordance with industry practice.

If you don't give him a sense of crisis, let him recognize the reality, and when the 3 films are finished, he will open his mouth if he can't keep it.

Cliff Irving's contract is Marvel, led by Donn, of course, he has a big tone, and he signed 5 in one go.

However, this guy is a bit ambitious, and when he cooperated with Marvel Studios, he also wanted to cooperate with Paramount and wanted to be a wall-riding faction!

How can this work?

King Arthur is a lesson!

After this fiasco, he must be able to understand the significant role of Marvel Studios in his career.

This summer, Paramount will release two commercial blockbusters: "King Arthur" and "The Misadventures of Raymond Snich."

It can be said that these two films are the final blow of Lei Shidong's "revival Paramount" plan!

It is also the last hope to solve Viacom's current predicament!

It's a pity that he is not a person.

Fate is a monster.

……

"Donn, I can't wait to cancel my partnership with Warner! It's so infuriating!" Michael Ovitz held a glass of red wine, a little drunk, and his words were a little heavy.

Don laughed and said, "Is it because of Catwoman?"

Michael Ovitz said angrily: "I was firmly against this project at the beginning, especially against letting a black man play 'Catwoman'! What happened? It became a big joke in Hollywood! If it weren't for the package agreement with Warner, I would have liked to terminate the cooperation with Warner. ”

Tang En said disappreciatively: "Okay, since it's an investment, how can there be a reason to only make money and not lose money? Don't think I don't know, in the past few years, the "Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings" series alone have made a lot of money for Legendary Pictures. Platter investment is originally a big-head all-you-have strategy. ”

Michael Ovitz said with a painful face: "But "Catwoman" is also a big investment! Legendary Pictures invested a full $30 million!"

Don asked a little suspiciously, "Michael, tell me the truth, what the hell is going on with the Catwoman project? I don't believe Alan Horn can do such a stupid thing." ”

Alan Horn is a great talent, the proposer and practitioner of the real "hit theory" in his previous life, and Donn has always wanted to poach him from Warner to replace Bill McNick.

Michael Ovitz pursed his lips, showing a touch of contempt, and reached out to point upward, "It's a higher-level decision, Horn resisted, but like me, he couldn't do anything." Marvel Studios has driven New Universal's overall revenue, brand value and spin-off channel expansion, and Time Warner hopes that DC will do the same. ”

"Commanding from a higher level?"

Don wasn't convinced.

Michael Ovitz said, "It's Barry Meyer. You know, that guy...... is an administrative background, for the sake of interests, can give up all dignity, and he is also the best at building a good relationship with the leader. It was because of his own persistence that Horn lost the competition for the position of CEO of Warner Bros. ”

Donn nodded, "Barry Meyer...... He was recently busy buying Dygate Pictures from Disney and taking over Harvey Weinstein's team. For the sake of profit, you really have the guts!"

Michael Ovitz frowned and said in a low voice: "Donn, Weinstein's matter is a bit out of bounds, it's time to take it." Including Jimmy Saville's thing, it's an image blow to the entire entertainment industry!"

"Don't worry, ferment for a while, and wait until I come back from South Korea. Don waved his hand.

Jimmy Saville's case has benefited Donn a lot, and the BBC's soft apology is only one aspect, and it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary public relations for the Liverpool acquisition.

With the media focus of the whole UK on Jimmy Saville, it is only right to hurry up and finalize Liverpool.

As for the image of the entertainment industry as a whole...... It doesn't matter, Don still has a backhand.

The third fire promised to the New York Times has not yet been put off.

"You're going to Korea?" Michael Ovitz said thoughtfully, blinking, "Well, it's time to go." Although South Korea has a small population, its ticket warehouse capacity is not weaker than that of Japan. The Korean box office of "Ghost Rider" has exceeded $30 million?"

In terms of ticket capacity, Japan is stronger than South Korea.

However, Japan's film culture is more mature, and they are keen on delicate, warm, and smooth films, which is typical of Japanese film style.

For special effects blockbusters, I don't like it.

In contrast, South Korea is an emerging film market, and it does not have a unique film culture, and it has almost no resistance to Hollywood commercial blockbusters!

Don En smiled, "Sort of, South Korea's film industry is booming, and a special effects industrial park has also been built, which can be regarded as Hollywood's back garden." ”

And that's only part of the story.

Because the iPhone project has been formalized!

Making a mobile phone can be very complicated.

Apple has sent a negotiation team, represented by Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, to Asia to negotiate cooperation on mobile phone screens.

Donn, as one of the biggest promoters of the iPhone, wants to be a part of it! (https:)
