On June 18, 2001, the only topic of discussion today was the fiasco of Paramount's film "Tomb Raider". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This week, "Ghost Shadow 2" won the North American box office champion from June 11 to June 17 with a box office of $52 million in an inverse way. In second place is Paramount's "Tomb Raider" with 39 million, and in third place is Disney's "Atlantis" with 20.3 million.

Although it is said that the box office of "Ghost Shadow 2" in the second week has some moisture because of some small activities of Liu Anran, this is also a manifestation of the appeal of the film, and Paramount has nothing to say.

The only regret is that the box office record of the thriller breaking 100 million in ten days has not been achieved, but Dream Media doesn't care much, and others don't worry about it.

"Andy, shouldn't we sit down and talk about the filming of "Impunity"?" Liu Anran was enjoying a peacock massage, and Spielberg called the phone.

"It seems that you really like this theme, I have finished writing the script, and I will send it to you later, what do you think of the two leading actors we discussed last time?" Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"I haven't talked to them specifically, but I don't think they will refuse, but you should be mentally prepared in advance, and their salary will have a part of the box office dividends." Spielberg thought for a moment and said.

As a director, of course, he hopes that the bigger the movie stars he joins, the better. But he is not only a director, but also a producer and producer.

He is no stranger to Xiao Li Zi and Hanks, and he is very familiar with it. Both of them have a very strong appeal, but they also have a bigger appetite, and what they are staring at is not the salary, but the main thing is the box office dividends. Both have tasted the sweetness of box office dividends.

But with his understanding, Liu Anran is a bit dead to money, and he is very painful about the box office dividends he directly asked for when he chatted last time, if these two people come over to pick up two layers of skin, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as pain.

"Why don't you go to the next with them? Anyway, the film will start shooting early next year in our company's plan. As long as they don't lions open their mouths, otherwise the profit of this film is really not high. Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.

At this time, a very bold idea came to his heart, that is, when filming this film, if these two people had to ask for a box office share, then he would replace these two people.

I had never thought like this before, but today I heard Spielberg's words and it suddenly came to me. He doesn't know if it's because of the success of two consecutive "Ghost Shadows" that his self-confidence has swelled up a little.

"Well, I can ask for you first. By the way, you're really not going to have a good talk with Paramount? Spielberg asked curiously.

"What is there to talk about? Enough to buy the rights to their remake is a deal, a deal that is mutually recognized. They stopped my film from coming out because of this, but it was because of them that the film did so well at the box office, and it even surpassed the premiere at the box office in the second week. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"I heard two days ago that you were interested in Pixar Animation Studios?" Spielberg asked again.

"You're well-informed, you have some business dealings with Steve Jobs, and then you brought it up. But I have limited funds now, and with such a small amount of money, I can't play anything. Liu Anran thought in his heart, but said quietly.

"We also have our own animation department, and we are now considering separating it, but not in the short term, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future." Spielberg said with a smile.

"Okay, but the first condition is that I have money. Let's see if the two of them can compress their salaries first, you also know that the pirate movie I invested in has already started to make props. Liu Anran snorted and pulled the topic back.

"Okay, I'll go get in touch with them." Spielberg hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Liu Anran hanging up the phone with a solemn expression, the peacock asked curiously.

"Nothing, some business stuff. Leave me alone, let me think about it. Liu Anran said with a chuckle.

Normally, DreamWorks will be sold to Paramount at the end of 05, and before selling to Paramount, DreamWorks' animation studio will be spun off separately and form a new independent company. And the cooperation with Paramount will not last long, and it will be separated again in 09.

To paraphrase a later generation, your circle is really chaotic. In fact, the core of the problem is nothing more than two words -- interests. When the distribution of interests is unbalanced, it is a matter of time before the family is separated. Spielberg's meaning today is that he has the idea of cooperation, but he really doesn't dare.

Relatively speaking, he would rather spend more money to buy Pixar than cooperate with DreamWorks animation company. Just to be safe, so as not to cause other incidents in the future.

However, Jobs, like Spielberg, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Now it seems that Jobs really seriously considered his proposal, otherwise the news would not have come out. But when he let out this rumor, he may not be staying to cooperate with him.

Comrade Lao Qiao has been fighting with Disney for a long time, not only fighting a CEO, but also selling Pixar Animation Studios at a good price, allowing him to own 6.05% of Disney's stock and become Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Now that Comrade Lao Qiao has learned of his illness in advance, he will definitely be affected by this factor when he considers the problem. What he was worried about was that Comrade Lao Qiao couldn't think about it all of a sudden, and then let out this rumor and sell it at a price, and sold Pixar Animation Studio earlier than the historical trajectory.

This is also something that cannot be guaranteed, and Pixar is already dazzling now. Although now Jobs is with Disney CEO Michael? Isner has contradictions, and the acquisition is difficult to achieve, but without Disney, Universal, Sony, and Warner, these big guys exist.

But it's useless to be in a hurry, what you need is real money, and what you lack most now is money.

The animation company itself must also be set up, and the box office money of this thing is very good. If he entrusts other studios to help with the production, he will have to share a lot of profits, so he will not give this big cake to others. (To be continued.) )
