"Fred, you're right, we're going to shoot this, don't leave tonight, let's plan the filming schedule together." After Li Xiaole figured everything out, he looked at old Fred with blazing eyes, and said excitedly: "We only have 6 months, and all the work must be planned properly, otherwise we will not be able to catch up with next year's Oscar." ”

"Wait...... Plum...... What did you say? Fred was also very relieved to see Li Xiaole's high morale, but when he heard Li Xiaole's words, he thought that he was old and heard it wrong.

"I said, we are going to prepare now, although we have opened up the affairs of the Indian side, and most of the Indian actors can also come in handy, but we still can't be casual, otherwise we will probably not be released in time for the end of December, and we will miss the opportunity to be nominated for this year's Oscars."

"You're saying you're going to finish the movie in 5 months!?" Fred was going crazy when he heard it on the spot...... He said so much about his feelings, Xiao Yi was righteous for a long time, but this kid didn't listen to it at all, and he still went to this year's Oscar.

He thought that Li Xiaole had finally come to his senses, settled down to make a good movie, and was willing to spend two years polishing a movie, but he never expected that such a difficult movie would be filmed in 6 months!? And to ensure quality? How is this possible!?

He came today, originally to find himself back and cheer up the somewhat decadent Li Xiaole, but now Li Xiaole is not only cheering up, but also crazy...... Isn't this from one extreme to the other?

"Of course, just because the time is a little tight, we have to hurry up every minute, Fred, you have now officially become the artistic director of our crew, you are responsible for us, you can't run away today~ I'll make you coffee~~"

Watching Li Xiaole go to make coffee in a hurry, old Fred was stupid...... He finally "understood" that he was on a thief ship...... This kid didn't listen to anything he said at all, just to trick himself into the game......

But now what else can he do but smile bitterly? Isn't what Li Xiaole did what he just said? At this time, can he slap himself in the mouth and pour cold water on Li Xiaole...... Now that he had agreed, he could only follow Li Xiaole forward...... But 6 months to complete such a movie, this is probably the most ridiculous thing he has ever encountered in his life...... Fred couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

During this period of time, in the global entertainment media, the "Slumdog Millionaire" defendant infringement and the "Avengers" series were sued, which made Black Pearl the focus of the industry, and almost everyone knew that the joint action of the six major companies against Black Pearl had officially begun, and the company, which had been growing explosively, had fallen into a desperate situation, and for Li Xiaole's competitors, everyone was very willing to see this Chinese kid's joke.

And for those fans of Li Xiaole, as well as those who really love movies, everyone is worried that this kind of talented director will collapse because of these multiple blows, especially after losing the hit theme of "Slumdog Millionaire", which hit the Oscars, how to get out of the decline of the huge black pearl, everyone can't help but sweat for Li Xiaole.

And all this negative news has produced more chain reactions, and those neutral fans are obviously extremely disgusted with companies that "infringe copyright", and the box office of "Hulk" has been hit by a huge impact, showing a huge drop of more than 70% in a single week.

Under the speculation of the outside world, the stormy Black Pearl Company remained silent, and no one knew what they were doing? A legal confrontation with the Big Six? Or compromise negotiations with the other side? There is simply no news at all, and Li Xiaole seems to have disappeared from people's field of vision.

And the time unconsciously came to July, Black Pearl's "Captain America" was officially launched this week, and unlike the popularity of "Hulk" when it was released, "Captain America" seemed to lack momentum as soon as it was released.

In addition to the recent negative press about Black Pearl, more importantly, it has encountered a formidable enemy, that is, Paramount has teamed up with DreamWorks to release Spielberg's "Transformers" produced by Spielberg and directed by Michael Bay.

This film adapted from the cartoon that swept the world in the 80s caused a frenzy of movie-watching as scheduled, "Captain America" and "Transformers" both began to land in theaters on Monday night, both of which have the same theme of praising the American military, and coincidentally to seize the "July 4th" American Independence Day schedule, which coincides with the hottest time of the year.

Under the collision of the two films, under the premise of the overwhelming dominance of the theater stalls, the joint power of Spielberg and Michael Bay far exceeds the superhero of the Avengers series of "Captain America".

"Transformers" earned $27.85 million on Tuesday, setting a "single-day record on Tuesday"; Then Wednesday's $29.07 million set a new "Independence Day single-day record" ("Wednesday single-day" ranked third in history, inferior to "Spider-Man" 2 and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King");

and harvested about $19.18 million on Thursday, ranking fifth in a single day on Thursday in all history; Then there were three days of the weekend, with an average of nearly $17,000 per company, and about $67.6 million in the super large range of 4,011 theaters.

One week, "Transformers" ended up with an astonishing single week 1. The box office of $5.2 billion topped the list among "robot movies", surpassing the champion of the same series "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"2. $0.5 billion is only a matter of time; If the evening performances after 20 o'clock on Monday are incorporated into Tuesday, "Transformers" broke through the $100 million mark in 4 days, ranking 12th in history, and the media are naturally singing praises for this masterpiece~~

"The shocking legendary visual effects and extravagant action scenes are absolutely superb", "The commonplace transformation corresponds to the changed appearance of the King Kongs and is extremely fresh", "CG technology has entered a new era", "More fierce than love, more exciting than sex!" ”

"Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter", which are usually quite technical and cultivating, gave a high score of A-, even surpassing the score of the previous "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

At the same time, "Captain America" with a similar theme did not meet expectations, and the box office was sluggish for a week, and finally only got a box office result of 57.8 million in a single week, which was still behind the 7861 of the newly released comedy "Elf Mouse Brother", only in the third place at the box office in a single week......

Authorities such as the Los Angeles Times, the Austin Chronicle, Entertainment Online, The New York Times, and The New York Post have launched large-scale criticisms of the superhero movie.

"The portrayal of the characters is superficial and unconvincing", "A noisy children's movie! ", "The extreme distinction between good and evil violates the spirit of the original work", "The cliché story structure without originality is disgusting" and other vicious evaluations that can be used on almost all summer blockbusters are overwhelming.

The six major public opinion companies that created a number of negative news about Black Pearl finally played a role, and the momentum of Black Pearl's film sweeping the box office charts finally came to an abrupt end in July, and the fate of the sluggish "Captain America" was far more tragic than people imagined.

After being frustrated by "Transformers", Black Pearl, which had planned to regroup in the second week, was beaten by another opponent again.

This week, the last heavyweight of the "2007 Summer Smash Bros." took the stage, and all the online movies were hit by the Warner Bros. blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

Among the 4,285 movie theaters, "Order of the Phoenix" collected about $77.41 million in three days over the weekend with an average record of more than $18,000 per company, ranking third in film history in July, second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin" and "Spider-Man 2";

This new work in the "Harry Potter" series, known as the "British Acting Master Magic Party", ushered in the "royal supporting role" of this work is Amida Staunton, who canonized the Venice Film Festival and local actress with "Vera Drake", and received a lot of praise after the first week of release, with the highest or second highest score of "New York Journal", "New York Daily News", "Village Voice", "Time", "USA Today", and "Rolling Stone", with a media overall rating of 71 points (B for Yahoo and 76% for Rotten Tomatoes) , various film review websites are also constantly praised.

"Accurately grasp the ominous emotions of the original novel, carefully lay out the climactic action scenes in a gloomy atmosphere, and create an entertainment masterpiece full of excitement",

"The adaptation doesn't turn out to be as suspenseful as the complex story itself, but Harry's increasingly dark 'Journey to the Heart' is portrayed as turbulent and suspicious, and even as a young adult film, it's very interesting"

"The stunt effects, art direction, and costume design are all so glamorous that they are 'extremely luxurious'......

With all the strong blockbusters in the summer file landing in theaters, fans look back at this time, and everyone feels that this summer file war that started at the end of May is thrilling.

In just two months this year, it can be said that there are many strong films, which can be called the most tragic summer war in the past few years, there are 6 movies with a box office of more than 200 million in North America alone, "Spider-Man 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Shrek 3", "Transformers", "Harry Potter 5", "Hulk", ...... The number of super blockbusters, the high quality, and the tragedy of the war are all unique in recent years.

It can be said that the emerging Black Pearl Company is fighting against all the ace series of the six major companies on its own, and the result is that the "Hulk", which was originally high-spirited, suffered a lot of money at the box office because of the two most significant copyright infringement incidents that were exposed by the Black Pearl Company, and the follow-up "Captain America" was innocently implicated and the box office did not meet expectations......

After all, the two Avengers series with high hopes for the huge investment of Black Pearl, "Hulk" has a profit of around $5,000, and "Captain America" is even currently in the red......

The outside world has become accustomed to a company that continues to do wonders, to constantly exceed expectations, and when it stops, everyone has one thought: "Black Pearl is going to be finished......

Yes, this company is so similar to the DreamWorks back then, they all showed the momentum of looking at the world at the beginning of their establishment, and they used the large-scale production model to overshadow all competitors at the beginning, but in the later stage, due to various reasons, they lacked stamina, and they couldn't lift it up in one go, so they fell into the quagmire of big-budget and big-budget movies...... Spielberg and Li Xiaole, who are equally talented, and also lead a film company to challenge the authority of the Big Six as directors, will the ending be the same......

With the loss of the Avengers franchise and the loss of Slumdog Millionaires, the fledgling start-up giant has been devastated to show signs of decay......

And just when everyone thought that the Black Pearl Company, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, was about to collapse, suddenly, Li Xiaole, who had been silent, spoke up, and to everyone's surprise, he actually announced a news that made everyone fall through their glasses.

"Our company will hold a new film press conference on Wednesday, please come and guide ...... media friends"
