…… Now I can see the success of "The Walking Dead", I am about to go crazy with joy, I feel the fresh breath of the whole company, the vitality that was previously fascinating has been re-injected, I know that it is all because of you, you not only kept my career dream, but also saved my future life ~~~
You may not know how important this is to me and those old employees who are about to retire~~ Mr. Li, you have fulfilled your promise~ Thank you again~
Although I can't continue to contribute to the company under your leadership, I will be able to spend my retirement days by the fireplace, sitting in a rocking chair, watching UNP TV, and showing off to our granddaughters that this is the place where I have worked, and this will be the most haode life for me......
Mr. Li, you are the best manager and director I have ever met, with indescribable talent and ability, and strong beliefs, please be sure to keep it up! I hope that you will become more and more successful, and UNP will become more and more successful, producing one classic series after another, so that the spirit of our UNP can be passed on from generation to generation, may God bless you~
- William Lynch. ”
Li Xiaole looked at the neat pen words on the letter, revealing a strong emotion between the lines, and there was a thick layer of warmth on his chest, which made him feel inexplicable, in the past, he just created a dream to let the audience enter his story, and taste the story of new anger and sorrow, and now, the brilliance of this dream shines into reality, he is not only letting others follow him to have a good dream, but also making real life better with him.
Watching an old employee retire, but it is full of strong reluctance, as a leader, this sense of accomplishment is really indescribably beautiful~
Turning his head to look at the busy employees outside the glass door, the smiles on everyone's faces were overflowing, and Li Xiaole couldn't help but have a vision in his heart...... He hoped that his pirate company would continue to operate for a long time, ten years...... Twenty years...... and even a hundred years to do it...... He wants to watch every employee, all working happily here, and then retire many years with satisfaction, he wants everyone to enjoy the happiness of William Sr......
Hello, this is the Black Pearl, welcome, when my pirate ship sets sail, the endless journey of the sea of stars will be waiting for you, and when it docks to rest, I hope that each of you will return to your hometown cottage with a full load, no matter how far the voyage is...... Or stop...... My Black Pearl will always be on this sea of stars......
Li Xiaole closed his eyes, as if he heard the sound of the sea breeze and smelled the salty and wet smell of the waves, and a melodious whistle sounded in his head, yes, a new journey is about to anchor......
The time has come to October, which is the off-season of the annual box office, and this week it seems that the North American weekly box office list has a lot more Chinese flavor.
At the top of the list is Warner's remake of the classic Hong Kong gangster film "Infernal Affairs". The film debuted in the middle and upper range of 3,017 theaters, with an average of about $9,000 for a single theater, earning more than 4,700 yuan, ranking first.
In fourth place on the weekly box office list, is the beloved "baby-faced grandmaster" Li Lianjie's kung fu film "Huo Yuanjia", which landed in North America this week, in the range of small and medium-sized films in 1806 movie theaters, won 15.5 million good results, although it is difficult to hope that the North American box office record of 28 million US dollars for Chinese films "Hero", which topped the list after its debut in 2004, is basically the same as the 10.9 million US dollars of "Danny Wolfhound", which was released last spring. Both films are feature films, with equal emphasis on temperament and action elements. It can be seen that Li Lianjie has broken away from the identity of an action actor and has become a shijie-level actor with real box office appeal.
In addition to the eye-catching of these two movies with Chinese elements, those who are interested will find that what is really interesting this time is the two films in the 2nd and 3rd places, this week the new film "Assassination of Hitler" of the Black Pearl Alliance was released in the United States, but like the previous "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth", Tom Cruise's appeal has not been as good as before, although it has won 11.15 million box office results, it is still far below expectations...... It seems that the media is attacking Tom Cruise's image, or fans are no longer obsessed with this former heartthrob.
The second place on the list is Sony's CG animation "Jungle Counterattack", which opened in 3,833 local theaters and achieved a premiere box office of about 33 million with a single score of about 6,000 US dollars.
Sony's 85 million US dollars production cost of the main drama, but it was released at the same time as the film of its United States Black Pearl Company, this attitude of suppression has been quite obvious, only from the "Pirate Desk Scandal" incident, Sony vitality has been greatly damaged, the management has been changed again, although in the media in the previous attitude of responsibility, there is no longer any statement with the pirate station, but in fact, people in the industry understand that Black Pearl United States has become a thorn in the side of Sony and even the six majors, and began to isolate the policy.
"Assassination of Hitler" only received the rights to release in less than 700 theaters, which is significantly lower than his $40 million cost specification.
But what can be done, most of the theaters are in the hands of the Big Six, and as soon as the theaters heard the name of Black Pearl Lianmei, they began to refuse to answer the phone and not reply to the email, so that the gold medal agent Wagner could only be at a loss, although Tom Cruise was not convinced, but he himself had to admit that he had encountered the lowest point in his career as an actor.
Who can be blamed for this? Is Li Xiaole to blame? Yes, the main reason is because of the scandal on the Pirate Channel, but Tom Cruise and Wagner both know in their hearts that the main reason lies in themselves, if it was two years ago, when Tom Cruise was in full swing, would Sony dare to only give his movie less than 700 theater stalls?
At the lowest point in his career, Tom Cruise ushered in a great event in his life, he will be married to his fiancée Katie Holmes in Italy, and he will enter the palace of marriage again.
The wedding is expected to be held in an ancient castle in Rome, Italy, and in order to prepare for the wedding, Tom Cruise and Li Xiaole came to the hospitable George Cruise villa in Italy to prepare for the wedding.
And Li Xiaole is not just here to help this time, more importantly, he wants to reach an agreement, he wants to invite George Cruise and Tom Cruise to join his "Avengers" Jihua.
He wants a real superstar to play a superhero, and although there are many characters in the original Avengers, there are actually two characters who are the core, the handsome Chris Evans as Captain America, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
Frankly speaking, among the heroes of "Avengers", in addition to the Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr., others include Chris Hemsworth's Thor Thor, Chris Evans's Captain America, and even Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, all of which seem to be on the same level as Robert Downey Jr., making the cast of this hero-collecting movie a little thin.
In addition to Thor, the role of Captain America is relatively lacking in character thickness, in fact, the real core characters are Iron Man based on the "Plane King" Howard Hughes, and the Hulk who was born with a doctorate, these two characters are worth mentioning.
To a large extent, it is because superheroes are generally stereotyped as "prime" young men, and there are few "middle-aged superheroes" like Iron Man and Hulk, which has a lot of room to play, which will make the slightly superficial superhero movie temperament to a higher level, Nolan's "Batman" series set Bruce Wayne's age to middle age, and then he has a new look for the superhero.
In the original version of the Avengers series, because Robert Downey Jr. played the elegant Iron Man with great success, it caused the Hulk, who also has a high knowledge background, to become more "angry" characteristics, which is precisely to weaken the unique elegance and wisdom temperament of the scholar that he should have, in fact, the brilliance of the Hulk lies in the fact that the usual more elegant and Confucian style, and the manic giant who transforms after anger makes people tremble.
This shortcoming, the original version of "The Incredible Hulk" is quite obvious, its star Hulk actor Edward Norton, a person who is originally recognized as a grumpy person, does not look like a good person, and does not play superhero material at all, and Mark Ruffalo, who replaced him in "The Avengers", is much better, but the biggest flaw of this actor is that he is too civilian, and he has no superhero charm at all, which makes Hulk look too mediocre before he transforms.
To build his own "Avengers" team, Li Xiaole first has to determine the two core partners of Iron Man and Hulk, and now, in the huge opposition from the outside world, Robert Downey Jr., one of the original Iron Man candidates, was forced by the strong pressure of the Big Six to officially refuse the invitation of Black Pearl United States, and his agent's statement is very euphemistic:
"I'm sorry Lee, Donnie would love to join, but he really doesn't have a schedule......"
No matter what reason the other party is in, but there is no way, now there is only plan B left.
In the luxury villa of George Cruise on the shores of Lake Braciano in the suburbs of Rome, after everyone had prepared all the matters related to the wedding, they could finally rest for half a day.
"Tom, George, what do you two think of superhero movies?"
