It's already the middle of December, 2003, and it's about to pass.

Major media outlets have started a round of summary reports looking back on this year and looking forward to next year.

Rolling Stone magazine has selected the 10 most anticipated films of 2004, that is, next year -

No. 1, Marvel Studios' "Spider-Man 3".

Since Done Walker released the first "Spider-Man", "Spider-Man" has gradually become the most popular comic book superhero in the United States. Although the director of "Spider-Man 3" has been replaced by the little-known Sam Raimi, this can't stop fans from looking forward to Little Spider.

No. 2, Don Films' "Harry Potter and the Prisoner with Azkaban".

The film adaptation of the world's hottest and best-selling Harry Potter movie goes without saying.

No. 3, "The Departed" by Down Pictures.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Done Walker, with supporting cast Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett and Mark Wahlberg. Such a main creative lineup is enough to attract every fan to buy tickets to enter.

No. 4, DreamWorks' "Shrek 2".

Since the success of Shrek, the series has become the ace of DreamWorks. The funny and cute Shrek animation image pushes this film to become the most anticipated cartoon next year.

No. 5, Down Pictures' "Pirate League 2: Gathering Soul Coffin".

"Pirate League 1" became the first movie in history to be released in IMAX format, ushering in the era of giant screens. Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, and Anne Hathaway's "pirate trio" is also loved by fans. Although Hathaway's British accent was controversial in the first part, this did not affect fans' love for the American sweetheart.

No. 6, "Dumbo" jointly published by Rose Pictures and Disney.

This live-action film adapted from Disney's classic animated film is likely to set off a frenzy of movie-watching at the end of February next year, which may ...... It will become the pilot work of Disney in the new era.

No. 7, Universal Pictures' "Spy 3".

The "Spy" series starring Matt Damon has become the most popular agent-themed action movie after "007" and "Mission Impossible". After the word-of-mouth publicity and popularity accumulation of the first two parts, the third "Spy Shadow" is likely to usher in an outbreak.

No. 8, Warner Bros.'s "The Polar Express".

This animated feature film is made with the latest motion capture technology, using performance preservation technology to make every moment magical. Compared with Pixar and DreamWorks' CGI animation, as well as Disney's traditional hand-drawn animation, the great director Robert Zemeckis is exploring a new path of animated films.

No. 9, Donn Pictures' "Mad Max 4".

The new work of the classic post-apocalyptic series is back on the big screen again. Mel Gibson, who has grown into Hollywood's No. 1 action superstar, is bound to recreate the splendor of this series.

No. 10, Warner Bros.'s "Troy".

An epic war masterpiece that cost $175 million to build. It's a continuation of Warner's ambition for the epic masterpiece of the Lord of the Rings franchise.

In addition, "Rolling Stone" also launched ten other films that are also highly anticipated by the market, namely Pixar's "The Incredibles", Don Pictures' "Enemy of the Machine", Universal Pictures' "Meet My Father-in-law 2", Paramount's "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Sniche", Down Pictures' "The Day After Tomorrow", Marvel Studios' "Ghost Rider", Disney's "Princess Diaries 2", Universal's "Deadly Magic", Warner Bros.'s "Scooby-Doo 2: Monster Escape", as well as DreamWorks, Warner, "The Banner of the Fathers" co-produced by Down Pictures.

Among the 20 films, New Universal participated in the production of films...... Exactly 13 films!

In other words, the total value of the market's expectations for the films of all Hollywood studios combined is far less than that of New Universal!

Exploded!

New Global's unrivalled position in the industry has been firmly established.

Such momentum and domineering are even better than the majestic Disney in the previous life!

From now on, New Universal will be the face of Hollywood!

Jealousy is useless, and it has nothing to do with monopoly.

Hollywood released 506 films in 2003, and in 2004 it will reach 551, and New Universal's films, that is, about 50, are less than one-tenth.

It can only be said that the films of other film companies are too uncompetitive!

The essence of Hollywood is movies.

New Universal's position as the leader in the film industry has ensured that New Globe has become the industry hegemon of Hollywood.

This provides a strong guarantee for New Universal's right to speak and control in feminism.

Otherwise, why should other Hollywood film giants give the right to speak to New Universal?

This is the fundamental reason why Don joined feminism a few years ago, and it was not until this year that the Women's Rights Protection Foundation and the Women's Rights Protection Association were officially launched.

Film is capital, film is politics, film is cultural output, and film is also a symbol of strength in the industry!

Don't look at the film market so small, in 2003, the total box office in North America was 9.2 billion US dollars, and the total global box office was only 31 billion US dollars.

This is not an order of magnitude different from the nearly trillion-dollar output value of the TV industry.

But the influence of the film is too great.

has long gone beyond the movie itself.

So, don't look at Disney's market capitalization of nearly $50 billion, but with the failure of the two movies "The Legend of the Bear" and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", Michael Eisner's life is hard again.

"If you need help, just say it, Disney is an ally of New Universal!"

At the celebration reception of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Don smiled and groaned and offered wine to Michael Eisna, who had a bitter melon face.

Michael Eisner took a sip of the mellow champagne and felt that it was more bitter than American coffee, and said bitterly: "I really thought that 'The Chronicles of Narnia' would continue to be a hit like the Harry Potter series." Unexpectedly, this is only the second part...... Hey!"

Tang En forced a smile, looking like he was sharing weal and woe, and sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect it either. I oversaw the first "Chronicles of Narnia," which grossed $700 million......, right?

Michael Eisner shook his head and said, "When performance is booming, contradictions will go underwater." But as soon as there is a problem, contradictions come to the surface. ”

"Oh?"

Don was stunned.

Seeing the heroes and heroines of "The Day After Tomorrow" Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Rosen coming to say hello, he waved his hand and refused, his heart was beating, and the opportunity to make money came.

Maybe...... You can take advantage of the situation and sell the Sriwood Animation Studio at a high price!

It's good to have contradictions!

The more anxious Michael Eisner is, the more secure Don will be!

"What's going on?"

"Ovitz thing. ”

Donn was a little surprised, "Michael Ovitz?

Michael Eisner glanced at him, "Aren't you the behind-the-scenes boss of Legendary Pictures, don't you know how much money Legendary Pictures has made this year?"

Don smiled: "You know, the pre-tax profit is less than 600 million US dollars." ”

"$600 million ......"

Michael Eisner pouted again and again, his face was very ugly, "Disney's film business, this year's profits...... It won't be more than $200 million, less than half the size of Legendary Pictures!"

Don suddenly realized.

It turned out that someone was jealous.

Money is moving!

"It's good to be profitable. Sony Pictures and Paramount are still losing money. "Donn looked relaxed.

As if humiliated, Michael Eisner shouted, "Don't forget, Disney has dozens of classic cartoons that are like pearls! Every year, the disc revenue alone can make 400 million US dollars!"

Don's face changed slightly.

Okay.

It turned out to be a thick family.

Without the Disney animated films accumulated over the past few decades, Disney's film business this year, like Sony Pictures and Paramount, would be losing money.

"Ahem, what's wrong with Ovitz?" Don quickly changed the subject.

Michael Eisner said helplessly: "There is a director who wants to accuse him...... And me. I think that I hired him as the president of Disney in the first place, and that there was insider trading, and that the $120 million in liquidated damages I paid him was too much. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Donn was surprised, "who in the whole country doesn't know that in order to take care of Disney's interests, you broke with this good brother back then." ”

Michael Eisner said bitterly, "Yes, but some people don't think so." But then again, Ovitz back then...... A lot of things are really annoying. ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's too much. There is an investigation going on inside Disney, and although it is only partial, it is shocking enough. He spent $1.1 million on food, drink, travel, and another $3.7 million on luxury office ......"

"What?"

Donn's eyes widened in disbelief.

Spend $3.7 million to renovate an office?

This Nima is too, isn't it?

His office area, more than a dozen rooms, and even a gym, piano room, bedroom, swimming pool, and a lot of high-end furniture, stereos, flowers, etc., the total cost is only more than 5 million US dollars.

That's a sky-high price.

In 1996, Michael Owitz was able to spend $3.7 million on office renovations.

O loser!

It's too much!

If you want to say that there is no cat in it, no one will believe it.

It's no wonder that Disney's internal shareholders will accuse Michael Ovitz, and if it were Donn, he would not give up.

"You know, Disney's high-rise office is on the fourth floor. But when Ovitz took office, there was no vacant office on the fourth floor, so I arranged for him to go to the third floor first. In other words, he spent $1 million to renovate the office on the third floor, and after moving to the fourth floor, he spent another $2.7 million to renovate the office on the fourth floor. ”

Michael Eisner said with a blank face, but it was clear that there was something in the words.

Everyone knows that in Hollywood, Michael Ovitz is following Donn!

These words were deliberately said to Donne.

"Okay, I'll try to deal with this. Tang En sighed, very helpless, "It's best not to go to court to confront you unless you have to." When you met Katzenberg in court, it affected your reputation too much. ”

Michael Eisner smiled, "That's work!" (https:)
