The collaboration between Down Pictures and Warner is a pleasure, and The Chronicles of Narnia has been launched.

With the popularity of "Spider-Man", Marvel's superheroes have risen.

In the latest statistics, Spider-Man leads Superman by a large margin, narrowly behind Batman, and is the second favorite superhero in the hearts of American audiences.

At the same time, the movie also brought a book on fire - "Harry Potter".

In the "Spider-Man" movie, the almost exaggerated advertising of "Harry Potter" has of course aroused criticism from some media people and critics.

However, the more criticism there is, the greater the fame of Harry Potter.

Prior to this, the three books in the "Harry Potter" series had already formed a certain influence among children, and the relaxed language and concise plot were standard children's books.

However, with the promotion of "Spider-Man", the "Harry Potter" series suddenly became widely popular among teenagers.

Entering the fourth week, the popularity of "Spider-Man" has decreased, but it has accumulated $390 million at the North American box office, $550 million at the overseas box office, and a total of $940 million in global box office data, which has completely locked in this year's box office champion.

In the latest issue of The New York Times, the Harry Potter series, which has been on the bestseller list for the past week, is finally in the top 10 for the first time in history!

No. 3, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone";

No. 4, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets";

No. 7, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

And the latest fourth series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, has been released in the United Kingdom, and the American market has not yet appeared. According to the dealer, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be officially released in North America on August 1.

Teenagers who are immersed in the magical world of fantasy have set off a frenzy of book purchases.

The influence of Donne's films, through this aspect, can be more vividly displayed.

Now, J.K. Rowling is working on the fifth installment, but Donn has told her through David that she has asked to slow down the speed of the book.

In the past few years, JK Rowling has been forced by life to maintain the rate of one film a year, just to earn more manuscript fees.

Now, with the strong influence of "Spider-Man" and the sales of "Harry Potter" have increased significantly, JK Rowling no longer has life troubles, and will naturally look for more sources of profit.

Compared with publishing and sales, movies are the biggest help!

At this time, cooperating with Donn Pictures' film preparation plan is JK Rowling's top priority.

However, at this time, those who paid close attention to the Harry Potter series were in addition to Donn and J.K. Rowling...... And Warner.

Warner has the right of first refusal to work with Don Pictures on the production of the Harry Potter films!

Although it is the right of first refusal, for Warner, it is equivalent to the right to cooperate.

At this time, Don Pictures had already had conflicts with Disney and Fox, and it was absolutely impossible to challenge Warner's bottom line again.

Warners called and asked when Don planned to start the Harry Potter project.

Fortunately, Don has a good reason, and Tang En Pictures has invested a bit too much in blockbusters this year, and it will definitely have to be postponed. And "Harry Potter" is just getting off the ground now, and it will take a while for fans to ferment.

Don's words are full of confidence.

Now Warner Bros. is in the midst of an internal power struggle.

Yahoo was the hardest hit company in the dot-com crisis. Yahoo intends to invite Warner Bros. Entertainment's chairman and CEO, Terry Semele, to become Yahoo's chairman and chief executive officer to lead Yahoo out of its predicament.

Terry Semel has not yet agreed, but everyone understands that his departure will be sooner or later.

Although Warner is a big Hollywood company, it is much less attractive than the emerging Internet company Yahoo.

The top spot will be contested by Warner Bros. Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Barry Meyer and President and Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn.

So now for Warner's top brassips, the power race is the focus.

In contrast, the operation of content is to take a back seat.

After sending away Warner's consulting, Donn finally waited for the design and model-building experts sent by the famous German shipyard Luersen.

A group of 5 people, 4 men and 1 woman, carried a large suitcase, came to Donn's office, opened the suitcase, and took out the hull components inside.

Then, right under Don's nose, a model of a luxurious private yacht was assembled.

As early as a month and a half ago, the shipyard in Luersen began to design the shape of the yacht for a large customer such as Donne, first through fax exchanges, confirmed the drawings, and then put out the real model.

"I don't know much about yachts, so I still need you to design them. ”

Donn liked this yacht model very much, with its elegant appearance and handsome shape. Although he had seen the design drawings of the yacht for a long time, looking at the model and looking at the drawings were completely different feelings.

Experts from the Luersen shipyard explain: "The yacht has five floors. The ground floor is the engine room and engine room, the second floor is the submarine's mooring compartment and can accommodate another 5 speedboats, the third floor is the entertainment venue with bar, discotheque, restaurant, dance floor, infirmary, sports field, swimming pool, etc., the fourth floor is the living area, with 8 suites that can accommodate about 20 guests, and a small garden, and the fifth floor is the owner's large suite, with a total area of more than 4,000 square feet and a veranda with sea views. The ceiling of the master cabin can be automatically retracted and opened, allowing the bedroom owner to sleep under the stars. ”

Don remembered Natalie's words, "By the way, do you provide helicopters?"

"We will have a submarine, but a helicopter, which needs to be ordered from a specialized company, is usually parked in the sports field. Mr. Walker, with a total length of 125 meters, this yacht is definitely the longest, most beautiful, most elegant and luxurious private yacht in the world today. ”

Don smiled faintly.

The world's largest?

I'm afraid it won't last long, but with the addition of Larry Ellison, Abu Ramovich, and the rich of the Middle East, private yachts will become bigger, more expensive, and more luxurious!

Donn's "Nat", including helicopters, submarines, speedboats, and interior decoration, has a total cost of 210 million US dollars and construction time of at least 25 months, which is definitely a big investment.

The plane he and Gulfstream ordered before, including the internal modification and decoration costs, the total price was only 38 million US dollars, how cheap is it in comparison?

……

"Sixty Seconds of Speed" failed miserably at the box office, but for various reasons, Michael Eisner did not kill the killer and gave Joe Ruth a chance.

Of course, Joe Ruth has to grasp it, this time, "Immortal Robbery" cannot afford to lose!

Director Nate Shyamalan is fine, starring Samuel L. Jackson is fine, and the potential risk is Bruce Willis.

Last year, the Gold Club scandal erupted, and Bruce Willis was deeply involved in it and couldn't explain it. Fortunately, many more well-known big names broke out one after another, and the media focus shifted.

This year, another scandal of his marital infidelity broke out in the media, making his already bad reputation even more stinky.

So, the top priority is to solve this crisis!

In case of the release of "Immortality", Bruce Willis has another scandal, which will affect the box office of the movie, it will be miserable.

"Bruce, have you solved your personal problem?"

Joe Ruth made a phone call to Bruce Willis in a less polite tone.

Since the scandal of Bruce Willis's marital cheating broke out, Joe Ruth has sternly warned him to divorce quickly!

Mr. and Mrs. Willis have been separated for more than two years, and it is not good for his reputation to keep them in this way.

Bruce Willis wanted to cry without tears, "Talking about it, she...... Her request ......"

"I don't care what she asks, you have to solve your personal problems quickly! You can't affect the box office because of you! Don't forget that your profession is an actor, and compared to that money, movies are everything to you!" Joe Ruth said sternly.

Bruce Willis did not sign a prenuptial property agreement, which is why the couple lived apart for two years and remained married, and he could not pay for the huge divorce property division!

Especially now that he has exposed the marital cheating scandal, it will be even worse, as long as he enters the judicial process, it must be the equal division of the property of the husband and wife, without any reason.

Marital infidelity is a serious act in the United States, and neither the judge nor the jury will tolerate his shameful behavior.

Bruce Willis worked hard in Hollywood for 20 years, asking friends to find relationships, investment, and financial management, and finally earned $380 million.

This divorce will divide 190 million US dollars, how can he bear it?

Last year, "The Sixth Sense" was a box office hit, and Bruce Willis earned more than $65 million in one fell swoop through box office profit sharing.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, in the second year, he faced a huge property expenditure of nearly 200 million US dollars......

At the beginning, he bombarded the movie "Wedding Proud Guest" supervised by Tang En, which had a momentum that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, and the success of "The Sixth Sense" made him high-spirited, and he didn't take the scandal of the "Golden Club" to heart at all.

Unexpectedly, this summer, Don En shot again, and he hit it very hard!

Listening to Joe Ruth's intimidating orders, Bruce Willis had a word of suffering.

If he could have thought more about it at the beginning, not accepted Joe Ruth's advice, and didn't bombard "Wedding Proud", he wouldn't have been able to provoke Donn.

So now......

He doesn't have to face the pain of divorce and huge property division, right?

"Hey!"

Bruce Willis let out a long sigh with a bitter expression.
