Chapter 608 Scene 608 The Birth of the King

In the afternoon of the same day, in the office of the president of Summit Entertainment, Patrick Wasberg, a Frenchman who is one of the "Summit Three", sat on the sofa, looking nervously at the official documents sent by Black Pearl United States, raised his head and frowned and sighed:

"It seems that this Black Pearl is really ambitious, and he wants to unite us to fight against the six major divisions? It's so strange to say that they want to invest in the release of "Twilight", and also to ensure that the popular actors of "The Vampire Diaries" are involved in the film......"

Bob Hayward, the vice chairman next to him, also sighed: "Alas, what we have wanted to do in the past ten years, this Chinese kid has done it in a year, and I really envy him for having the courage to do it." ”

"I don't think we can judge too soon......" Patrick Wasberg shook his head hesitantly, "Let's see what happened to David after learning about Warner's side." ”

At this time, David Garrett, the executive manager of Summit Pictures, pushed open the door and rushed in, panting and directly picking up the water glass on the table and taking a few sips.

"What's the matter, David?" Bob Hayward hurriedly asked, they were all nervous when they gathered today to make a future course.

"I've checked it out, and Warner has been in contact with dozens of shopping malls in 12 states to prepare low-cost collective tickets for commercial promotion activities, and it seems that it is going to cost money." David Garrett gasped, but his expression was unusually excited.

Patrick Worsberg was shocked, stood up and asked urgently, "So that "Happy Feet" is no longer good?" ”

"I heard Warner's Vicente say that their marketing department is very pessimistic, and it is expected that the box office of "Happy Feet" will not exceed 2,000 next week, and Sony's "007 v Casino Royale" is only expected to be 35 million, and it is likely to lose money......," David Garrett gasped and replied.

"Patrick~~ The situation is already very clear~~ The six are almost unable to hold on~~ They have already begun to panic ~! You see what we do. Bob Hayward said excitedly.

"Then you still need to ask." Patrick Wasberg raised his chin and said with the pride of a Frenchman:

"Since Black Pearl can guarantee that we can start filming in 3 months, why don't we accept their kindness, they are much better than the Disney bastards gave us." As he spoke, he turned to the two partners and said:

"Bob, you go and contact all the media that we work with, so that they must not contact the people of the Big Six, and report on "Iron Man" as they want, David~ You come with me, we will immediately go to Hook of Helwes TV to have a meal, and leave now."

Patrick Woersberg held his head high, picked up his shirt and reminded him one last time before going out:

"Remember, Bob, we must make all our partners understand that now is the best time for them to get rid of the control of the Big Six, this is not for simple immediate interests, this is for our dignity as an independent company~~"

"Patrick~~ Isn't it too urgent...... Let me take a break, let's go again tomorrow. David Garrett, still gasping for breath, waved his hand with a wry smile.

"Rest~?" Patrick showed the majesty of his boss and said sharply: "You rest, those devils who suck blood on us won't rest~~ When we kick off their noses with Black Pearl, we can all have a good rest~!" Walk! ”

In this way, after the black pearl, a pirate ship that rode the wind and waves, sounded the horn of war, all the scattered pirates in the sea area moved when they heard the wind and moved closer to this new king of the sea area~~

In just a few days, Black Pearl, CNN, Lionsgate, Summit, and Plan B, the forces outside the Big Six moved together to launch a huge media battle, and for a while, the Big Six suddenly felt that their control over American public opinion had been unprecedentedly contained, and a full-scale battle for public opinion between monopolists and revolutionaries vigorously spread to all parts of the United States!!

The PR managers of the six major groups, who have always been invincible, suddenly can't figure it out, damn it!! In the past, those small companies that they could make each other succumb by stomping their feet casually, why did their waists harden all of a sudden, and how hard and soft didn't work anymore!? There are even people who dare to drive them out directly~! Don't they want to mix in Hollywood?

These businessman-minded PR managers don't understand at all, these people have never changed, only the situation.

In the past, the Big Six had unprecedented influence on distribution channels and public opinion, and blatantly extracted huge profits from distribution channels, and anyone who dared to resist would end up shutting down, even MGM, New Line Pictures, and DreamWorks were no exception, but now the situation is different, and the emerging force of Black Pearl also has these two advantages, and opens the door to welcome everyone to join! The Big Six can no longer monopolize everyone's way of life!

Who the fuck would want a bunch of vampires to lie on their stomachs and drink blood! Instead of embracing a partner who gets along as equals!?

And in this mighty battle of public opinion, the momentum of "Iron Man" has not only not been weakened, but with the blessing of the scandal and the super strength of the movie, it is getting stronger and stronger, and it is unstoppable, everyone expected that the box office performance of "Iron Man" would not be bad, but still no one could have imagined that the results of this movie in the second week would even rise, getting 11.2 billion US dollars!!

While continuing to be the weekly box office champion of the Disabled Persons' Federation, it completely buried the life of the competitors in the schedule, "007 Casino Royale" 31.29 million, "Happy Feet" 21.67 million, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" 16.78 million, "Apocalypse" 5.67 million, and the four major competitors added up to the box office, and they didn't even have as much as "Iron Man...... It was a victory, a complete victory.

This amazing box office figure not only made fans crazy, but also made Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, these independent production companies outside the six major companies feel blood and excitement all night, you must know that this is the success of "Iron Man" and the six major faces, not only relying on the charm of the movie, but also relying on the results created by the joint efforts of these companies oppressed by the six majors, which is quite the same as telling everyone a happy and dripping fact!!

Now Hollywood, the mecca of movies, is no longer the era when the six major groups cover the sky with one hand, a new era of the North American film and television industry has come~~~ Everyone has witnessed the official birth of a new king, the black pearl is no longer a lone pirate ship, it has gathered a huge fleet behind it, and the black pearl skull flag fluttering in the wind on the flagship black sail has become a new symbol of royal power in this sea area!!

Such a result made everyone in Black Pearl Lianmei go crazy with joy, and also made Tom Cruise and Wagner, the golden pair, stunned, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million in a single week...... Even Tom Cruise, known as the "Hollywood Money Cow", has never had such a magical box office result at his peak!

Until last year's "Mission Impossible 3", Tom Cruise had 5 consecutive movies exceeding 100 million, known as the Hollywood money printing machine, but the box office fiasco of "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" and "Assassination of Hitler" made the ratings of major companies on him have been downgraded from A+ to B-, even Tom Cruise himself did not expect that the "Iron Man" independently released by Black Pearl United States would allow him to achieve more than all previous box office results~~

But the amazing results of "Iron Man" at the box office of more than 100 million US dollars for 2 consecutive weeks have made this "Hollywood money cow" the darling of the media again, and countless TV shows and magazines have invited him, but this handsome guy can't attend any show at the wedding, which has led to all the media focusing on his wedding with Katie Helms.

According to the Italian "Courier" newspaper a few days ago, the Odysaccacci Castle in Bracciano, Italy, has been determined to be the venue for the wedding of the "Iron Man". As soon as this news came out, the unknown Braziano immediately became the focus of the world's attention.

Residents of the vicinity of Odyscacci Castle are busy renting out their street-side windows and balconies, one of which was sold by Reuters for 100,000 euros because of its view of the wedding motorcade and the castle's parking lot.

In addition, the city hall of Bracciano rents out windows with a view of the castle entrance for 1,000 euros, and parking costs up to 300 euros per news van.

Patrizia Riccioni, the mayor of the small city, also said on local television: "We don't care if Tom Cruise gets married in Bracciano or not, good things have already started for us." The reason why we charge a small fee is to ensure that every guest in Bracciano has a great time~~~"

Cruise's wedding has become a top priority in the city. In order to welcome his wedding, the number of traffic police on the streets of the city has exceeded the usual number by 4 times, and flowers have been planted in the streets and alleys. The Government has also added temporary toilets and set up parking lots outside the city.

What is even more surprising is that after the world-famous "Hello" magazine contacted Wagner, it finally bought the exclusive rights to the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for a record-breaking price of 1.75 million pounds for the rights to the celebrity wedding photos.

That's nearly half the royalties for the 2000 wedding photo between movie stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones! When the "heartthrob" Beckham and Victoria got married in 1999, the copyright fee was only £1 million......

This movie has changed not only the change of power in this field, but also the life trajectory of the participants......
