Early in the morning, villa 4.

Tang En woke up from the warm fragrant nephrite, looked at the two lazy beauties beside him, and inevitably felt a little pride in his heart.

Recalling the wonderful process of the three of them fighting last night, I felt more and more happy.

This is the life that a man should have!

"So early?"

Miranda Kerr was sleepy-eyed, and when she saw Don get up, she also sat up, half of her body unabashedly exposed.

Meghan Gale on the other side just glanced at it casually, then turned over and fell asleep again.

In contrast, Miranda Kerr is a newcomer and needs to be petted more. She is an old friend, and it was through Nicole Kidman's relationship that she first got on Don's line, and her roots are very deep.

Don got up and dressed, "You sleep a little longer, I'm in trouble." ”

"Isn't it a weekend?"

"Today, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is officially released, and I will go to see last night's advance data. ”

"Oh. ”

Miranda Kerr didn't want to say much about work, so she got up and insisted, and served Don virtuously and dressed.

Don has never been worried about the box office of the Harry Potter films.

He was going to the company, mainly to discuss the matter of rival Paramount with several executives in the entertainment department such as Bill McNick, Shirley Lansing, and Amy Pascal.

Because of the popularity of the "Harry Potter" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, children's fantasy films seem to have become the outlet of this era.

As long as you stand on the tuyere, a cow can fly!

After Paramount fired Shirley Lansing and hired Brad Gray, he began to secretly plan a big project, one that could rival "Harry Potter" and "The Chronicles of Narnia".

Paramount wants to adapt the famous Daniel Handler's children's book series "Raymond Snich" into a movie!

Donn also gets the news that the children's fantasy film called "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Sniche" embodies Paramount's ambitions and Brad Gray's ambition to revive Paramount, and the cast is super powerful.

Including well-known actors such as Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Jude Law, Billy Connolly, and others, they ...... Of course, it's all supporting roles.

The protagonists are several children, one of whom Don is still very familiar with, is an actress from Australia, Emily Browning, who was still 14 years old at this time.

It is said that the investment of the film reached 140 million US dollars, which is higher than the cost of a single "Harry Potter" and "The Chronicles of Narnia".

"If you want me to say, you guys are just too careful, Paramount is long gone, and there is no chance to rise again. When Don arrived at the company, he saw several executives waiting for him.

Bill McNick frowned, "You can't go wrong with being careful. Don, your fame is too great, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing! Many peers in the industry have set you as a target, which is rubbing your popularity, and it is also to hold your shoulders to the top position. If Paramount steps on us and rolls over this time, it won't necessarily be advertised. Have you forgotten the summer battle between "Batman" and "Daredevil"?"

This summer, "Batman" changed schedules because it was afraid of fighting "Daredevil" head-on.

As a result, "Daredevil" grossed $380 million worldwide and "Batman" grossed $430 million worldwide.

Even if the reputation of "Daredevil" is almost invincible, so what?

In the box office market, "Daredevil" lost to "Batman"!

Warner also took this as a breakthrough point, praising the superiority of "Batman", and also insinuating that DC is the boss of comic movies! Even if Marvel has Donn behind it, it can't change the strong heritage of DC Comics!

The simplest way to praise someone is to belittle a great person and then make another person greater.

The same is true for movies.

Warner still showed affection to Don and didn't exaggerate it too much.

But Paramount won't.

If Paramount's "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicker" can beat the big-budget films of New Universal in the same period, then Paramount will definitely spare no effort to trample on Donn, so as to ascend to the throne and try to revive.

Don sneered, "The matter of "Daredevil" and "Batman", and wait for a few years to see! Wait for the second part to be released, and then let everyone see and see, is "Daredevil" good-looking, or "Batman" is wonderful!"

Without the Nolan Brothers' DC Pictures, what in-depth superhero movies can be made?

The first draft script of "Daredevil: The Dark King" written by Jonathan Nolan has already been read by Donne.

Everything is a familiar taste!

Bill McNick said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we can't give Paramount any chance in terms of schedule!"

Tang En nodded, "How will our commercial blockbusters be distributed next year?"

Shirley Lansing said quickly: "February 13th, "Dumbo", May 7th, "Ghost Rider", May 28th, "The Day After Tomorrow", June 18th, "Mad Max 4", July 9th, "Pirate League 2", July 23rd, "Robo-Public Enemy", November 12th, "Harry Potter 3", December 17th, "Spider-Man 3". ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office was a little strange.

Especially Amy Pascal, who has just joined New Globe not long ago, has a wonderful face.

Throughout 2004, will there be a total of 8 commercial blockbusters under the New Globe Group?

You must know that the usual movie giants release 2 commercial blockbusters a year, which is too much.

Those independent film companies, to make a commercial blockbuster, often have to go bankrupt and borrow money to raise so much cash.

I have to say that the family background of New Global Group is really too big!

Don looked at her expression and was a little amused.

8 commercial blockbusters, is that a lot?

It's a lot.

But this is still the premise that he cut the two big projects that Universal Pictures wants to produce, "Van Helsing" and "Star Legends 2", which are destined to lose money.

I heard Shirley Lansing say again: "The above are commercial blockbusters with a production cost of more than 100 million, in addition, we also have "My Father-in-law 2", "Spy 3", "Deadly Magic", "Murder with a Knife", "BJ Single Diary 2" and other 8 medium-budget films with an investment of between $40 million and $80 million. It's not on the same level as "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich", even if the box office is less, it's fine......"

"Alright!" Don interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "You guys really think too much, the first Harry Potter and the first Chronicles of Narnia were great successes. Then the market thinks that this is a children's magic movie, if the market trend is so easy to judge, then the movie is not too simple?"

Since his debut, Donn's predictions at the box office of movies are unbeatable authority!

Bill McNick still clearly remembers that when Don was just starting out, he dared to shout in his office that "Titanic" had a global box office guarantee of $1.5 billion and a target of $1.8 billion.

As it turned out, his vision was indeed ahead of his time!

"You mean...... Children's fantasy movies are going downhill?" Bill McNick's face changed slightly.

Don said lightly: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is definitely no problem, but "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is not easy to say. As for Paramount's The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich...... Whether it's summer or Christmas, there's no chance of survival! There's no need to make a big fuss. ”

Shirley Lansing, seeing that Don was full of confidence, glanced at Bill McNick, and saw that he nodded weakly.

No way, what Don decides, especially about the movie, no one can object.

Shirley Lansing said tentatively: "Then this schedule plan ...... Is it decided? No need to modify it based on The Adventures of Raymond Snich?"

Tang En said arrogantly: "No, our 8 commercial blockbusters are just placed there! Paramount can choose a soft persimmon at its own discretion." I believe that even our soft persimmons will definitely be stronger than Paramount's pillars!"

If you want to fight in "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich", who can you choose the opponent?

"Dumbo" is a collaboration between Rose Pictures and Disney, and it is a remake of classic animation;

"Ghost Rider"?This is a superhero blockbuster developed by Marvel Studios;

"The Day After Tomorrow"? This is the masterpiece of Hollywood commercial director Roland Emmerich who has sharpened his sword in four years;

"Mad Max 4" and "Mechanical Public Enemy", which are dominated by action superstars Mel Gibson and Will Smith, respectively;

Not to mention "Pirate League 2" and "Harry Potter 3", both sequels to the hit movies.

As for Spider-Man 3...... Don't even think about it!

"Spider-Man 1" and "Spider-Man 2" are both annual box office champions.

Spider-Man 3 ...... It is almost possible to book the top of the box office list next year.

Even if Paramount wants to play tricks, what can he do?

In the face of hard power, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.

"How much was the advance box office last night?"

"$4.4 million. ”

"Oh, it's ok. Donn nodded, "What about the box office of Ant-Man? is it more than $400 million?"

Shirley Lansing replied: "The North American box office reached $140 million, and the global box office just reached $400 million. ”

The word-of-mouth quality of "Ant-Man" is far inferior to that of "Daredevil", which can also be reflected through the North American box office.

"Daredevil" grossed $210 million at the North American box office, and "Ant-Man" grossed ...... North America There is absolutely no way to break the $200 million mark.

However, "Daredevil" is too deep, and the overseas film culture is still relatively rudimentary, especially in the Asian market, which has a large box office, and is more sought after for films in the entertainment comedy genre.

The reputation of "Ant-Man" is far inferior to "Daredevil", but because of its humorous and funny popcorn, it is even more popular among fans in overseas markets. Because of the surprise in the overseas market, the global box office of "Ant-Man" is estimated to be between 520 million and 550 million US dollars.

Such box office data naturally strengthened Marvel Studios' development of the relaxed, entertaining and funny route of the "Avengers" series.

At this time, Don's mobile phone rang, and after answering, he heard a crisp and joyful cheer: "Oudu-chan, we got off the plane, where are you?"
