Hollywood movies, the normal box office trend is from high to low, gradually declining. Individual movies that start low and go high are usually classics with explosive word-of-mouth.

Three days before the release of "Girls Club", it only got less than $7 million at the box office, which also condemned the failure of Jerry Bruckheimer's first comedy and musical film!

There is a news from within Disney that it is said that the big boss Michael Eisner is furious and wants to kill Donn!

As for how to die, there is no decision yet.

In short, the next two movies to be released by Down Pictures, "Soul Shifting Girl" and "Memory Fragments", will be suppressed by Disney!

The news is half-true, but it shouldn't be groundless, after all, the contradiction between Down Pictures and Disney has been made public.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we win all battles!

Tang En specially sent someone to check some of the movies that Disney will release in mid-August and mid-September, "Fox Pack Dog Party" and "Amorous Style".

Seeing the results of this investigation, Don En laughed directly.

"Soul Shifting Girl" and "Memory Fragments", although they both have a small audience, they are both classic films with explosive word-of-mouth!

may bump into mainstream commercial blockbusters, and there will be no living space for squeezing, but when you encounter films of the level of "Fox Group Dog Party" and "Ten Thousand Kinds of Style", it is not an equal concept at all...... You can sweep through like a tank!

Now, it has entered August, and the vicious competition between Donn Pictures and Disney in the film market has not cost him too much energy.

"Spider-Man" has entered the stage of long-term screening, absorbing the last bit of box office space in the market. Strive to exceed $500 million at the North American box office within 3 months, and then release it before Christmas, and push it to the TV market as soon as possible.

So, it's time to prepare for the next movie – A Beautiful Mind.

The two protagonists of the movie, Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, have been preparing for more than 3 months and are waiting for the movie to start at any time.

Done's question now is, whose ability is more suitable for "mirror possession"?

Repeating the old trick, Don found Manola Daggis, the chief art analysis officer of Don Pictures, and got straight to the point, "Manola, if I don't direct "A Beautiful Mind", do you think that director is the most suitable person?"

The script for "A Beautiful Mind" is based on the same name, with Donn leading the adaptation ideas and Manola Daggis leading the writers' team to revise, so she knows the project well.

"Director Selection ......"

Manora Daggis looked slightly worried, "Donne, this is not what I'm good at, I can only ...... I'll give you a list of their directorial styles, which are very suitable for this kind of biographical character building, and you will also need to consult Glenn for specific candidates. ”

Don said, "Okay, you can make a list." ”

Manora Dagis slowly groaned, "Roman Polanski, Robert Zemeckis, Oliver Stone, Milos Foreman, oh yes, and Sam Mendes, I love his film style, "Soul Shifter" is a great shot, even if it wins the Oscar for Best Picture, it is not surprising!"

"He just won Best Picture for "American Beauty" this year, and "Soul Shifter" can defend next year?" Donn smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, Manola, for helping me call Glenn and I'll ask him for his opinion." ”

Manola Daggis's list is undoubtedly a thunderous director!

In particular, Roman Polanski and Milos Forman are masters of a generation!

But Don didn't feel any for the two of them.

Roman Polanski is a typical European literary style, and "A Beautiful Mind" is an unabashedly "American Dream" film that caters to American values.

Styles are incompatible.

As for Milos Forman, he's too old!

He is an older generation of filmmakers, older than Francis Coppola, a representative of the "Czech New Wave", and his films have won all major awards in Europe and Hollywood, and he has won almost all the awards, and the Oscar for Best Director has also been won twice.

"One Flew Over the Asylum", "Sex Book Tycoon", and "The Biography of Mozart" are all classics in film history and are compulsory subjects in film schools.

However, in recent years, the old man's movies have obviously failed to keep up with the mainstream rhythm, with too slow style, too dull plots, and too simple shots, there is almost no room for survival in Hollywood, so he can only go to Europe to continue to win awards.

Heroes appear in every era, and heroes don't necessarily fit into every era.

For example, Alfred Hitchcock, a master of a generation, created suspense thrillers, but put him in the present, his film will definitely be lost.

Each era has a different film style, especially "A Beautiful Mind" is dressed as a "literary film" on the surface, but in fact, it is a semi-commercial drama film that relies on star sales, caters to the taste of the audience, and pleases mainstream values.

It's completely different from the style of philosophical dialectics in European films.

Five minutes later, Donn's casting assistant Glenn Fiero arrived, and when he heard Donn's request, he almost didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Of these five directors, there is only one best candidate, and that is Oliver Stone!"

Don En looked happy, "Really?"

"In the past 20 years, there have not been many Hollywood directors who can calmly move between commercial and literary films, and there are two most brilliant ones: one is Steven Spielberg, and the other is Oliver Stone! Spielberg is more commercial, and Stone is more literary. ”

Glenn Feello paused for a moment and said in an orderly manner: "The movie "A Beautiful Mind" is a film that takes into account both commercial, literary and artistic, and is more focused on literature and art, which is very in line with Director Stone's personal style. Moreover, he has filmed "Assassination of JFK", "The Gate", and "Nixon", all of which are excellent biographical films. ”

"It seems...... He's the best candidate......"

Donn's eyes wandered and he muttered.

Glenn Feyero laughed and said: "Boss, in fact, in my heart, there is another director who is more suitable than Oliver Stone." ”

"Oh, who?"

"You!"

"Haha! Don't make a fool of yourself, get out!"

……

Michael Eisner's life is legendary, three times he was called in danger, and then three times he turned the tide. It is precisely because of such brilliant achievements that he has supreme authority within Disney, just like a king.

He has wisdom and vision beyond ordinary people, so he is very puzzled by Donn's behavior with Disney in the past few months.

Where does a young man in his twenties get the confidence and confidence?

He asked the production department, and the answer was very consistent - Done Walker was arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and lascivious, and he was indeed very talented, but the continuous success made him lose his mind and inch, and then he became unpopular and did whatever he wanted.

But......

The more consistent the answers were, the more wrong Michael Eisner felt.

Since Don is so talented, it shows that his IQ, ability, and means are not bad, because film is an art form with strong comprehensive ability.

This has a very serious contradiction, how can such a talented person easily let everyone see through his true temperament and true colors?

The more successful the person, the more blurred the image for everyone.

But Don showed everyone as if he had stripped naked, did he really not care about the outside world's opinion and his own reputation?

If something backfires, there must be a demon!

Michael Eisner sent someone to investigate all the information about Donn, especially since he entered Hollywood, and sorted out every piece of news and reported it to him.

The entire report has been condensed and contains more than 30 pages, and Michael Eisner has taken time out of his busy schedule to look through the pages one by one.

At the beginning, it was all some lace news, and there were scandals between Donn and some female stars such as Kate Winslet, Liv Taylor, Nicole Kidman, and Naomi Watts.

Michael Eisner was indifferent, for him it wasn't a problem at all.

When he saw that Don was comfortable moving between the "Australian Gang" and the "British Gang", and had recently established a relationship with the French entertainment industry, his complexion changed slightly.

When I saw that Donn had a friendship with Mr. Francis Coppola, and had worked with Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron and other big directors, and got along well, his face became more and more solemn.

A stupid boy who doesn't know the height of the sky can establish such a huge network in just a few years?

!

Michael Eisner became more and more sure of what he was thinking, Don Walker...... I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems.

Even the actresses he dated were very particular.

Many little-known young actors, no matter how beautiful they are, Tang En is at most dewy and in love, and he will not hesitate to try it.

But when some well-known actresses, especially some female stars with great potential, Don En's way of dating, he will bring them back to his home, and even live together for a long time.

The typical representative is Nicole Kidman, as well as recent new loves, Sophie Marceau and Charlize Theron.

Unconsciously among the vertical and horizontal flowers, Tang En also took advantage of the situation to establish a huge network of female contacts. Although the actresses have a low status, when integrated, they are also a force!

Michael Eisner continued to look through this carefully prepared material, and in the last part, there was a table of Donn's past property acquisitions.

Seeing that Down Pictures bought Starz TV, he was indifferent;

Seeing that Towne Capital took a stake in Hasbro, he was indifferent;

Seeing that Tang En Pictures had built a new Sriwood animation studio, his expression began to become solemn;

When he saw that Don Capital spent $190 million to buy a 15% stake in Pixar from Jobs, his face finally changed!
