Chapter 601: The Time of War
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore openly bombarded the policies of the George W. Bush administration and the Iraq War at the Oscars, which sparked ongoing public opinion controversy.
Recently, the White House finally came forward and held a press conference, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Jerry Bruckheimer, Kevin Costner, Ridley Scott and other Hollywood celebrities, all appeared.
At the meeting, Spielberg declared: "If President Bush has reliable information, as I think, that can confirm that Saddam Hussein is building weapons of mass destruction, I cannot but support his policies." ”
Tom Cruise also told reporters: "President Bush's policy is reliable and realistic!"
James Woods even said frankly: "I love George Walker Bush, I always have!"
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Do you know what 'Ramesstan' means in English?
Not to mention Jerry Bruckheimer, a producer with a shrewd mind more than anyone else, who honestly said: "Even the low-level stars of Hollywood don't care much about military operations outside the United States." ”
Not only that, Jerry Bruckheimer began to look at the television market because of his sinking in the film market, and cooperated with the Ministry of Defense to produce a TV program called "Frontline Files", which truthfully reflected the war situation on the front line and the human rights violations of those countries.
Compared with Michael Moore, a niche low-level documentary filmmaker who can no longer be a niche, these people's remarks represent the mainstream voice of Hollywood.
Hollywood is Hollywood.
A group of artists who work hard in the entertainment industry, unless they are forcibly promoted, no one will do anything to offend the White House.
Originally, at the end of 2002, 104 Hollywood stars signed their names on the slogan "Win Without a Fight" slogan.
But now?
These heretical voices are gone.
Even if there are celebrities who make fun of President George W. Bush, this is a common phenomenon in the United States, and there will be no fierce verbal criticism at all.
As early as the outbreak of the first Gulf War, more than 100 Hollywood stars, including Tommy Lee Jones, James Woods, Shange Winton, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere, Amber Gober, Bette Midler, Kurt Russell, etc., collaborated on the recording of a charity song "Love's Advice".
The lyrics include "Whether it's right or wrong, may you always be strong." So we got together and sang all the way. ”
But here's the problem.
These people ...... Do you really endorse the Federacy's policy of going to war?
Not necessarily!
After the Oscars, the Hollywood industry has held many meetings in a row, and Don has also participated in five or six meetings, and has already given a clear instruction to the direction of public opinion in the industry.
You must not go against the government!
Michael Moore's scandalous crisis must be minimized!
Otherwise, it will seriously affect the overall interests of Hollywood.
Among other things, it would be a big loss if the federal government introduced a policy to remove the Department of Defense's budget endorsement of Hollywood blockbusters.
This includes not only war films and military films, but also films like "Spider-Man", "Tomb Raider", and "The Departed", which punish evil and promote good, defend national security, and maintain world peace, all of which may apply for the budget of the Ministry of Defense.
Every year, at least between $300 million and $500 million!
It is under the joint control of Disney, New Universal, Warner, Paramount, Columbia, MGM, major agencies, as well as the Producers Guild, the Film Association and many other institutions.
Hollywood's radical rhetoric is well controlled.
Next, this year's Oscar winner for Best Documentary Michael Moore is miserable.
Although the major Hollywood film companies have not banned him, it is almost the same.
Who would dare to use this kind of broom star?
Self-righteous thorns!
Michael Moore originally won the Oscar, reached the pinnacle of his life, and may even enter the mainstream film industry from now on, into another world of drunken gold fans.
Unexpectedly, his acceptance speech directly made him fall from the peak of his life to the lowest point in just over a month.
Almost everyone shouted and beat them.
He was furious!
Who to hate?
First of all, of course, it is President Bush Jr.!
Michael Moore has decided that he wants to make a movie that "plays" President George W. Bush, and he wants to make Bush Jr. pay a heavy price for what happened to him!
He has thought of the name of the movie, it is called "Fahrenheit 911"!
……
With Donn's "Spider-Man" becoming popular all over the world and selling $1.26 billion at the box office, the spring of comic movies seems to have arrived.
Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men", Sony Entertainment's "Men in Black", and Warner Bros. have also rebooted the "Batman" project.
Now, another Marvel Studios superhero is about to appear - Daredevil!
The official name of the movie is "Daredevil: Time to Go to War".
The film will be released simultaneously on May 22 in 17 countries including the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, France, Germany, Australia, and Canada!
With the advent of economic globalization, Hollywood commercial blockbusters have become more and more mainstream in the simultaneous release of commercial blockbusters in countries around the world.
Because of this, it has also brought a lot of trouble to the distribution company and the main creative team.
With so many countries being released simultaneously, what kind of route does the main creative team want to promote in various countries?
Whatever you do, it's important to allow plenty of time.
This led to the North American premiere, which was much earlier than the release date.
Thursday, May 8th.
The premiere of Daredevil: Time to War was held at an imax theater owned by AMC Cinemas on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
In addition to the film's main creators, almost all entertainment media in the United States were invited.
This is another superhero launched by Marvel Studios after "Spider-Man".
What will happen to the content of the film?
"Spider-Man 1" was directed by Donn Walker himself, and "Spider-Man 2" was also helmed by British director Ridley Scott, which made the series "Spider-Man" a great success.
Now, Marvel Studios has launched a superhero "Daredevil" that is far less famous than "Spider-Man", and the director is still a little-known newcomer Christopher Nolan.
Will this work?
Don't mess up the $120 million blockbuster!
Not only the outside media, but even the newly appointed vice president of film and television entertainment, Shirley Lansing, is also puzzled by this.
Don also invited her to the premiere.
She joined New Universal too late, and she didn't see the first few internal screenings of Daredevil: Time to Go to War.
After more than 20 minutes of the opening ceremony, the lights in the 228-seat IMAX hall finally dimmed.
The film is about to begin!
To the left is Christopher Nolan and to the right is Shirley Lansing.
"Nervous?" asked Donn in a low voice to the left.
"It's fine. Nolan shook his head, then smiled, "I think the company should be more nervous than I am." ”
Tang En disagreed, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the company's confidence in you is more than your confidence in yourself!"
Nolan gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Once again, he felt Donn's attention.
Death for a confidant.
He had already thought that as long as Don was willing, he would always work with New Universal to make films for a lifetime.
The big screen, which is more than 20 meters wide, suddenly dimmed.
It's time for war!
