Chapter 343: Fooling the Devil, Right?

"The Return of the Mummy" is really a big bad movie!

The film completely abandons the characterization and uses the storyline as a complement to special effects and action scenes. If it weren't for the first "Mummy", this sequel wouldn't have had anything to say at all.

Fortunately, Universal found ILM to produce special effects, invited the world's top special effects masters, mobilized 150 staff, 30 animators, and spent nearly 7 months to refine all the special effects shots.

In 2001, when special effects technology was still a scarce commodity, this may be the biggest selling point of "The Mummy Returns"!

After the movie was played, Ron Meyer, who was sitting next to Donne, noticed that he was not very interested, hazy, and a little scared, "Done, is the movie really so bad?"

In the field of commercial films, Don is the undisputed god!

The achievements of the past are enough to prove everything.

And Ron Meyer, who was previously president of CAA, excelled at administration, not film content.

Tang En said lightly: "It's very bad!"

Ron Meyer's face changed suddenly, "I said a long time ago that during the internal test screening, I asked you to help me come over and give some guidance, but now it's ......"

Tang En waved his hand and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the bad movie is not fake, but the box office is ...... Not a big problem. ”

"Huh?"

Ron Meyer's face was surprised.

Tang En said: ""The Return of the Mummy" will be released on May 4, which can be regarded as a time advantage. The next blockbuster will be released until "Pearl Harbor" and "Unsinkable" on May 25. Three weeks is enough time for the movie to pay off!"

These words are absolutely justified.

In his previous life, "The Mummy Returns" grossed $200 million in North America, and in the first three weeks of its release, it got $160 million at the box office. This is basically the box office rhythm of commercial blockbusters.

Ron Meyer breathed a sigh of relief, "Hehe, to be honest, this movie ...... I don't like it either, it's a mess!"

Now it was Don's turn to be surprised, "You don't like it either?"

Ron Meyer shook his head and said lightly: "If you want a cohesive management team, decentralization is an inevitable choice." ”

Tang En pondered for a long time, savoring this sentence, and then suddenly smiled, "Fortunately, I handed over the power of Tang En Pictures." ”

Ron Meyer laughed dumbly, he was not very interested in "The Return of the Mummy", so he simply chatted with Don more, "Recently, "Pearl Harbor" has been making more and more noise, basically except for the actor Ben Affleck and the heroine Kate Beckinsale, the main creators of those crews, their words are full of gunpowder. ”

Tang En shrugged, looking very indifferent, "Little actor, it's normal to do something out of the ordinary in order to fight for a position and earn eyeballs." ”

Ron Meyer glanced at him with a smirk, "Then you just put up with it, not like your character!"

Don smiled, "What do you want me to do?

At that time, Don En had nothing, he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and when he encountered a provocation, he would just take off his clothes and fight directly.

Now it's completely different, Don's strength should not be underestimated, and Legendary Pictures and Platter Investment are his Xuantie heavy sword, as if he has a bit of a big man's demeanor.

A few small grasshoppers were jumping around, and Tang En had no need to go into battle in person.

Ron Meyer was amazed at Donn's maturity, he grew up so fast!

It's hard to imagine that at this time last year, many of Donn's actions were still frizzy like a child. But now, in the face of the repeated provocations of the crew of "Pearl Harbor", he is as stable as Mount Tai.

Ron Meyer said, "Without your help, I'm afraid Jamie won't be able to cope." ”

Tang En shook his head again and again, and said lightly: "James is not good at verbal battles, but in the final analysis, the film market depends on the quality of the movie! All I know is that the director of "Unsinkable" is James Cameron!"

Ron Meyer laughed, "I didn't expect you to have so much confidence in Jamie. His films ...... box office The highest record is $500 million, right? "Terminator 2"?"

James Cameron in this life, without the blessing of "Titanic", cannot be compared with Steven Spielberg in terms of fame and ability.

It's inevitable to be questioned a little.

"Pearl Harbor" is now clamoring so violently that even if the box office can't compete with "Titanic", it has to guarantee a minimum of $1 billion!

With James Cameron's "Unsinkable", can you resist "Pearl Harbor"?

In Ron Meyer's view, it is unlikely that "Unsinkable" will lose money, after all, the producer is Donne, and he has a strong commercial vision. Even if the box office market is not satisfactory, it can be recouped by DVD, TV and peripheral markets.

But what is Donn's biggest advantage right now?

It is an undefeated golden body!

Since entering the industry, he has never failed in film, let alone in the box office market.

If "Unsinkable" is suppressed by "Pearl Harbor", even if it does not lose money, it will be too big a blow to Donne's image!

The corners of Donne's mouth rose slightly, and he shook his head and smiled, "James...... Hehe, I have a lot of confidence in him!"

And not only because of the glory of Cameron's past life.

Donne's "Spider-Man", "mirrored" is Cameron's ability, and the global box office exceeded $1.26 billion, far exceeding the original $820 million.

"Unsinkable" is a project that did not appear in the previous life, but the success of "Spider-Man" is the biggest source of Donn's confidence!

Ron Meyer paused, and forced a smile: "It seems that ...... "Pearl Harbor" is going to be beautiful for the entire publicity period." ”

As the distributor of "Unsinkable", Universal Pictures is responsible for publicity and distribution. The publicity of "Unsinkable" was crushed by "Pearl Harbor", which made Ron Meyer a little disgraced.

I thought I could save some face with Donn's golden signboard, but I didn't expect him to be in.

Don En sneered and said coldly: "Don't think about making trouble, let them toss! I want to see how long that Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay can be popular!"

Ron Meyer's face stiffened a little, and he quickly changed the subject, lowered his voice, and whispered, "I seem to have seen Miss Vichy just now......"

Before the words fell, Tang En stretched out his hand and directly interrupted him, "Don't mention this aspect, I'm in moderation." ”

"Temperance?"

Ron Meyer almost laughed.

In other aspects, he believed everything Tang En said, but this aspect ...... You're fooling, aren't you?

……

Sure enough, after the movie screening ended and the main creators took a leave of service, they saw Donn quietly walking to Rachel Weisz's side.

"Miss Vichy, your kung fu...... Really great?"

"Huh?"

Rachel Weisz was slightly stunned, her face was red, delicate and moist.

Don smiled, "Find a chance...... Try?"

"Okay, try it!"

Rachel Weisz smiled, revealing a beautiful and shy expression, "It's my pleasure." ”()
