Mark's strong statement surprised reporters, these big people speak, who is not full of empty cannons, talking for a long time is equivalent to not saying, there are few people like Mark who have a firm position and a clear banner, does he want to work against Time Warner?

The reporter, who felt that he was going to be developed, couldn't hide his excitement and said, "What do you think is the main reason for the failure of "King Kong"?"

Mark said: "It's too early to say that it will fail, its investment is so large, and it also means that it is difficult to return to it, it is impossible for a movie with hundreds of millions of investments to make several times the profit at once like a small cost, "King Kong" is a good work in all aspects, it is estimated that the final box office will be between 150 million and 200 million, plus overseas box office and DVD revenue, it is impossible to lose money, this is a matter of making more money and earning less." Seeing that the reporter still wanted to ask, he stopped and said: "This is the only time my wife and I go shopping once a week, isn't it an interview time?"

After Mark finished speaking, he took Giselle's hand and walked away in a dashing manner, Giselle, who was four months pregnant, had a bulging belly, and once she was tall, she looked three big and five thick, with a bear waist and a tiger's back, but Mark thought that this was a blessing, a pregnant woman must have enough nutrition and calories, Giselle was very hopeful that she could maintain her figure, which was a sharp weapon for her to cross the catwalk, but now for the sake of the child, there was no way, so she had to do it according to the requirements and instructions of the dietitian.

Mark felt that Giselle was pregnant, full of maternal brilliance, more attractive, and more attached.

Mark at this time, if it weren't for Martin's uncertainties, he thought that life was perfect, he had a great career, an identity and status, a wife and children, and a lover, which needless to mention, this is not a glorious thing, and now he has become the rich man he hated and envied before.

Only now, Mark has been sympathetic to this place, in the past he has always thought in his heart that he is just a lonely ghost wandering in another time and space, even if he is married and has a contracted spiritual relative, he has always regarded himself as an outsider, but as the fetus in Giselle's womb grows vigorously and takes shape, the genes in his blood are awakening for this, he rejoices, he has planted a seed here, his roots have begun to take root here, he will branch out here.

With this kind of thinking, Mark's concept of life is different, if possible, he tries to stay at home and accompany his wife and children, while Zhou Wei and the family call David, Sophia, and Kayla to go to the villa on the shore of Lake Tahoe for a vacation.

The most sensational event in the entertainment industry in December was not the big sale of "Youth Musical", nor the big sale of "The Chronicles of Narnia", nor the box office of "King Kong", but Paramount Pictures reached an agreement with DreamWorks Pictures on the 9th to acquire all the shares of DreamWorks for 1.6 billion US dollars, including assuming all its debts.

The board of directors of Paramount's parent company, Viacom Entertainment Group, formally approved Paramount's acquisition plan for DreamWorks on the 8th, and the next day Paramount signed an agreement with Spielberg, one of the partners of DreamWorks, according to insiders, about half of the purchase price set in the agreement will be paid by Paramount, and the rest will be borne by several investment partners.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Paramount will acquire the rights to more than 60 films shot by DreamWorks in its 11-year history, as well as the rights to distribute the films of its sister company, DreamWorks Animation, which has been spun off and listed.

The sale of DreamWorks marks the end of a dream that DreamWorks co-owner Spielberg, record mogul David Geffen and animation wizard Jeffrey Katzenberg had planned to use their respective achievements in film, The expertise and appeal in the field of recording and animation have built DreamWorks into an entertainment empire that integrates various forms of entertainment, but as an independent film company, the lack of support from large entertainment groups behind it makes DreamWorks unable to match its competitors in terms of financial resources and available entertainment resources, coupled with Katzenberg's focus on DreamWorks Animation, Geffen is tired of the high risk of investing in films, which makes it increasingly difficult for DreamWorks to survive in the film industry, Spielberg finally had no choice but to sell the film company, and the three parted ways.

There is no doubt that "Escape from Clone Island" became the last straw that crushed DreamWorks, and Mai Bao became the unlucky guy who defeated a film company with a movie like Wu Yusen.

As the last standard-bearer of independent films, DreamWorks' failure to challenge the giants has shattered countless people's dreams and wept silently.

Under Spielberg's leadership, DreamWorks has been negotiating with Universal in the hope of merging into Universal, but the board of directors of NBC, the parent company of Universal, lowered the price at the last minute and hoped to take DreamWorks for $900 million, which made Spielberg feel cold and decided to switch to Paramount's arms.

After the spin-off of the DreamWorks Animation Department, DreamWorks has actually become an ordinary-scale independent studio, but it is still labeled Spielberg, Spielberg is the last remaining wealth of DreamWorks, and the reason why Paramount is willing to spend $1.6 billion to acquire DreamWorks is also because of the priority right to cooperate with him, as the most profitable director in Hollywood, he has the best scripts and the best actors waiting for him wherever he goes.

For eleven years, although he is the founder of DreamWorks, his identity is absolutely free, he can collaborate with Soney on "Memoirs of a Geisha", with or without DreamWorks, he can also make "War of the Worlds" for Paramount, DreamWorks only participated in the distribution, not long ago, DreamWorks also paid two million dollars for the rights to a French "Wish It Was True" that has not yet been translated, because Spielberg took a fancy to the script, and they had to bid with Fox and Universal for this book and their star director, it is said that David Brown. Finger and Katzenberg laughed at the great director, so they could go up to the sky and the earth and pluck the moon from the sky to him.

Spielberg has hardly ever attended any of DreamWorks' financial meetings, and he hopes that "any meeting he attends will be over in two minutes," and Spielberg's wife says that he will always be like a child, preoccupied with something.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Spielberg, who has shot many hit films, must be a box office speculator, but in fact, Spielberg is a director who follows his feelings, he was invited to shoot "Superman" in 1976, but he chose to shoot the story he had been thinking about for a long time, "Contact of the Third Kind" , and now, he feels that he has made enough commercial films, and turned to the literary route, Spielberg has never been a director who plays according to common sense, in his eyes, shooting a movie he likes is more important than shooting a box office bomb, as he said, "I don't shoot movies to make money."

It can be said that Spielberg finally gave up on DreamWorks, at first, he thought it would be fun to be a Hollywood tycoon, but now, he may think that it is better to be a director, Spielberg has come to his senses, and the dream of DreamWorks has woken up.

The failure of DreamWorks has made countless independent filmmakers strangled, is there really no way out for independent films? With such a powerful combination and backstage as DreamWorks, it is impossible to shake the big studio system in Hollywood.

And MM is self-degenerated and degenerated into a new giant, many people prefer to see them as the spokesperson for the interests of the banking family and Wall Street consortium, and no one will ever think that Mark, Iger, Megan, and David are people with ideals and feelings, they are just businessmen, speculators who are keen on fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

After they took control of Columbia Pictures and MGM, they did not change the existing system, nor did they vigorously support and support independent filmmakers, they just turned the two companies into profitable companies, which is no different from Disney's self-transformation into a giant and Viacom's acquisition of Paramount.

With the closure of DreamWorks, the vigorous wave of independent films that began to rise in the nineties of the last century began to enter a low ebb, and the Weinstein brothers' Miramax brought independent films into the mainstream film market and shined in the Oscars and their awards season.

But the Weinstein brothers, who are at the head of the word, have already sold themselves to Disney, they are no longer film artists, but literary and artistic dealers who buy and sell movies, and the result of the commercialization of movies is the loss of the literary and artistic feelings of films, which makes many people feel sorry for it.

Mark was warned from the collapse of DreamWorks not to be a bird, not to take too big a step, to have even interests, and to run MM like a company, where profit is always the first criterion.

Like Lao Si, after joining DreamWorks, it was after the Oscars that the film style was biased towards literature and art and the inevitable loss of audiences, which is not a good thing for the newborn DreamWorks that needs a lot of fresh blood to replenish, Geffen and Katzenbergera He joined the team, definitely not because he can win awards, but because he hopes that he will be powerful in commercial films, but who can force Lao Si? No one can, so there are many problems.

Mark turned a blind eye to the Chicago Sun's Roger article "A Genius's Self Falling."

The actor of the article is him, Roger commented on many of Mark's works with sharp writing, from the stunning "This Man is from Earth" to the refreshing "Batman", commenting that Mark's directing skills are becoming more and more mature, and his talent is decreasing, like "Chainsaw", "The Hangover", "Wedding Proud", the lower the rating, the higher the box office, he has been lost in the digital scenery of commercial films, and movies no longer have art and feelings, but are just tools to make money.

The article ends with the words: "It's a pity that a generation of talented directors is lost in Hollywood." ”

Thank you, the happiest thing for the local tyrant book friends is that you are fatter than me. Thanks a lot. Commonwealth of Nations.
