"Only Don can defeat Donne"!

It was the headline of the entertainment section of The New York Times, praising Donn's outstanding ability in the field of film, and also counting the current pattern of the film market.

When "Unsinkable" was released in the first week, it was unexpectedly won the weekly box office championship by "Pearl Harbor", and after the "fraudgate" incident broke out, it completely swept the North American box office, occupying the top of the weekly box office for three consecutive weeks, and all the heroes retreated.

It wasn't until the release of another Donn Films, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that "Unsinkable" was finally pulled off the throne. Otherwise, "Unsinkable" will continue to lead the weekly list with $45 million in the fifth week of its release.

More and more signs have shown that the commercial blockbuster that Tang En participated in the production of is invincible in the summer file!

His opponent is only himself!

It is conceivable that in the next few weeks, the North American box office market will change from a one-man show in "Unsinkable" to a two-man turn in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Unsinkable".

"Film Review" also sent praise: "As of 24 o'clock yesterday, the global box office of "Unsinkable" has exceeded 550 million US dollars, of which the North American market has contributed 320 million US dollars. For Donn Pictures' commercial blockbusters, high box office seems to have become the norm, and the latest release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" also made a lot of gains, earning $75.08 million in the first three days of the opening weekend!"

The Los Angeles Times focused on French director Luc Besson: "Before that, Luc Besson suffered a career waterloo, and his "Joan of Arc" failed miserably at the box office, so that many investors stayed away from him, and even he encountered a relationship crisis and divorced. ”

It was Donn Walker who came to his rescue and invested $100 million to plan the project "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Facts have proved that Tang En not only has a unique vision in terms of film content, but also is sensitive, bold, decisive and brave enough in employing people, and has been successful. ”

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a murder story about a killer couple. Mr. Smith is American, Mrs. Smith is French, and different cultures and crime syndicates from different countries create enough laughs and plot tension for this story. It's a pity that the theme has not been sublimated, and the plot is old-fashioned, but this is still a film worth watching, as evidenced by the $75.08 million box office in the opening weekend. ”

"Mel Gibson and Sophie Marceau, the multinational duo, have performed together in "Braveheart", and this time their performance did not disappoint everyone. This on-screen couple will definitely dominate this summer file, and in my opinion, Donn Pictures can prepare the script and shoot "Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2". ”

"Entertainment Weekly" made an assessment of the box office: "This week, the box office of "Unsinkable" shrank by 35%, reaching $320 million in North America, and overseas markets also made efforts at the same time, with the global box office exceeding $550 million. The film is still hot in the North American market, but in overseas markets, especially in Japan, France, Ao, Germany and other countries that were released earlier, it is obviously unable to follow. ”

According to authoritative forecasts, the North American box office of "Unsinkable" will be around $420 million, and the overseas box office will be between $450 million and $480 million. In other words, it is impossible for "Unsinkable" to challenge Donn's three billion-dollar films, and the only expectation is whether it can surpass Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" and rank second. ”

Universal's first-week box office estimate for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was $90 million, and the actual box office shrank by 16.7%. Mel Gibson's appeal is undoubted, but Sophie Marceau's appeal is obviously slightly inferior, especially compared to Angelina Jolie in "Tomb Raider" in the same period. In this kind of action movie, Sophie Marceau seems too delicate and backbone. ”

As the famous film critic Roger Ebert said, if Sophie Marceau is replaced by Angelina Jolie, as long as Julie can perform in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in "Tomb Raider", it can make "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" a higher level, meet Universal Pictures' expectations, and get $600 million at the global box office. ”

However, Sophie Marceau is more famous in Europe, and Donn and Luc Besson may have chosen to pay more attention to the overseas box office. Even if word-of-mouth and box office are not as expected, it may not be difficult for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to exceed $500 million at the global box office. It's ironic, isn't it? Don Pictures' films, when the box office is shrinking, are still on par with $500 million!"

……

It's a French café with a poetic name called "Jacqueline".

Don was deliberately 10 minutes late, as Roy Disney said, this is an old shop, and as soon as he entered the room, he was seen sitting by the window, an old couple in their sixties, busy making coffee at the bar.

Don let his bodyguards guard the door with great fanfare, and there was a kind of revival of the big man coming, which naturally caused Roy Disney's dissatisfaction.

But Tang Encai doesn't care, people respect him, he respects people, who is shameless...... Then there is no way.

"Mr. Disney, I just got the news, I heard that the stock market opened today, and Disney's stock price has fallen all the way, and now it has fallen by more than 5%?"

Roy Disney shook hands with Donn lightly, "Entering this summer, Disney's stock has been fluctuating. ”

Don said a little embarrassed: "Speaking of which, I am also at fault. "Unsinkable" was released, defeating "Pearl Harbor" and causing Disney's stock price to plummet. Last week's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" overshadowed "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," causing Disney's stock to plummet again. ”

Roy Disney frowned and said lightly: "Disney has a market value of more than $40 billion, and it is second only to Time Warner, Viacom and Vivendi Universal among the world's media and entertainment groups. We have a huge industrial structure, and the film market is only a small part of it, and it will not have such a big impact on the stock price. ”

"Oh?

Don laughed, a burst of disdain in his heart.

Die to save face and suffer sin!

Every industry is the same, there are always some self-righteous old guys, relying on their deep qualifications in the industry, many connections, and great influence, they want to rely on the old and sell the old to guide the country in front of the younger generations.

As everyone knows, the times have long changed, and in the wave of the Internet, young people are the masters of the new world!

Roy Disney is obviously still standing up to his predecessors, and said lightly: "Of course, Disney's largest business revenue is ABC Radio and Television Group, because the financial statements released in June show that Disney's overall operating income declined last year." ”

Don smiled nonchalantly, "Oh...... It turns out that Disney's stock price continued to fall, which was dragged down by ABC, but I remember that Michael Eisner had already reacted first, and his acquisition of Fox Home Entertainment Channel should have brought vitality and confidence to the market?

Roy Disney frowned and said in a deep voice, "Donn, we're not going to discuss Disney's stock price, are we?"

Don laughed twice and snorted.

"Let's talk about a cooperation!"

"Okay, you say. ”

"I think...... There is no absolute conflict of interest between you and Disney, and all kinds of misunderstandings are caused by Michael Eisner. ”

Don laughed, "Of course, I, a newcomer in the industry, how could I take the initiative to provoke a behemoth like Disney? It's Michael Eisner who won't give me a way to live, I can only resist! At present, it seems that the result is not bad, Disney is not as strong as imagined." ”

Roy Disney's face was a little angry, but he quickly hid it, took a deep breath, and said: "In the final analysis, it's Michael Eisner! As you just said, Disney's stock price is not going well this summer, and this is also Eisner's mistake, so ...... say."

"What?"

"We have a common enemy. ”

Don shrugged lightly, his expression was calm, "Maybe!"

Roy Disney didn't like Donn's absent-minded look, gritted his teeth, and could only say: "So we should cooperate, you are outside, I am inside, and join forces to kill Michael Eisner!"

Don smiled, "Sounds good." ”

Roy Disney said, "Indeed, it was the best decision for us......!" This is Disney's secret, and I can't tell you about it, but I hope you can do three things to cooperate with me. ”

The corners of Don's mouth hooked, and his expression was a little indifferent.

Roy Disney felt that he had said everything to this point, and he had shown enough sincerity to tolerate it everywhere, so he stretched out three fingers and said slowly: "First, Disney's film production department has encountered great difficulties, and I hope that in the next 3 years, Don Pictures and Disney can cooperate on 5 films to help Disney get through the difficulties." ”

"Oh, and what about the second?"

"I know you're a shareholder in Legendary Pictures and have a big say, so I want you to convince Michael Ovitz to start a project with Disney on a platter investment. ”

"Oh, and the third?"

Roy Disney smiled, and when he saw that Don didn't react excessively, he was relieved, and said slowly: "Third, it's the animation industry." Judging from the current situation, the traditional hand-drawn 2D animation is no longer loved by the market, and computer 3D animation represented by Pixar and DreamWorks Animation is the main trend at present. ”

Tang En nodded, "That's true, Tang En Films' Silkwood Animation Studio is currently working on computer animation. ”

Roy Disney laughed: "To be honest, I watched part of the animated film "Fantastic Four" produced by Silkwood Animation, and it is very good! It is hard to imagine that you actually use such technology to make an animated film, but it is not an animated movie! This is simply a huge waste of resources. ”

"Oh, what do you think?"

"Of course, it's about making big animated movies! And in the field of animation, Disney has the largest and most extensive channel in the world. It would be better if Silkwood Animation and Disney Animation could start a business partnership in computer production, or if Disney could acquire Silklywood Animation. ”

Donn looked at Roy Disney talking as if he were listening to a book from heaven.

What a Roy Disney who leans on the old and sells the old!()
