1064 turned upside down

Many people are talking about the drastic changes in 2006, Hollywood ushered in the most drastic change since the millennium, but who would have thought that the earth-shaking changes after the beginning of 2007 are no less impressive, and even more turbulent than the shock that came in 2006.

On the 79th Oscar, the "Road of Rage" was born, picking eleven little golden figures and sweeping thousands of armies, which is just an appetizer! This is the beginning of the dramatic changes.

Sony Pictures took the lead in making a move, after winning the 2006 year-end box office championship, they appeared full of confidence, and announced in one breath the shooting plan of many works including "007: Quantum of Solace", "Superman Hancock", "2012" and many other works, of which the "007" series is undoubtedly Sony Pictures' current fist project, in 2012, the world's most famous spy series will usher in its 50th anniversary, and it is rumored that Sony Pictures has begun to brew a big move; In addition, the upcoming "Spider-Man 3" in this summer will undoubtedly be the top priority, and it is rumored in the industry that although the series is about to come to an end, they have begun to negotiate with Sam Raimi about the possibility of filming a fourth part.

It's worth noting that Sony Pictures is actively approaching Lance about directing "2012," hoping that the most successful and greatest director of the 21st century will be able to shoot an apocalyptic disaster movie for the second time - or for the third time. According to reliable sources, Michael Layton and Lance had a great conversation at Oscar night and once exchanged some opinions on the production of the follow-up to "007".

There is no doubt that Sony Pictures will remain the strongest competitor to Warner Bros. in the next few years.

Less than a week after the blockbuster news from Sony Pictures came out, Paramount made a major move, announcing that they would join forces with Chaos Pictures, the hottest film in Hollywood, to develop a screenwriter fund to encourage more amateur screenwriters and movie lovers to participate in the original work of the script; At the same time, the foundation signed a cooperation agreement with the Sundance Film Festival to set up a million-dollar fund project, which will select three to six films each year to share the prize money, encourage outstanding scripts, and all the winning works, Paramount and Chaos Pictures will have excellent production rights.

Then Paramount also officially confirmed several blockbuster news, the first of which is naturally the restart of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Steven Spielberg and George Lucas will both return to the production position, Harrison Ford has also confirmed his return, and is currently selecting young actors to join the lineup; In addition, Paramount's collaboration with DreamWorks is also on the agenda, and the current list of works includes "Kung Fu Panda", "Madagascar" series, "Transformers" series and so on.

In addition to this, Paramount also officially launched the production of the "Star Trek" series. The latest reliable news is that Paramount will work with Chaos Pictures to produce the project, and Brad Gray has asked Lance to be the producer of the series, which will create at least a trilogy.

It can be seen that Paramount, as a large-scale film company with the longest history in the industry, has a deep heritage, although the situation has been sluggish in the past year, but the tip of the iceberg of intellectual property display in its hands is enough for the "rising star" Sony Pictures to drink a pot. In the next few years, Paramount's competitiveness should not be underestimated.

In the latest news from Sony Pictures and Paramount, Chaos Pictures has played an important role. Obviously, Chaos Pictures has successfully entered a position of equal cooperation with the six major film companies, and such a surge is something that DreamWorks has not been able to achieve. It is clear to everyone that this is all due to the presence of Lance - whose appeal has surpassed that of Steven Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer at their peak.

Chaos Pictures and Lance, who were at the center of the topic maelstrom, were very low-key, and did not make further moves, as if they had entered the stage of recuperation after the Oscars ended - this statement naturally no one believed. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chaos Pictures to officially launch three small-budget independent works at the same time, the most notable of which is undoubtedly the Coen brothers' "Old Man" at the helm of the tube.

As the leading players in the Hollywood independent film industry, the Coen brothers' appeal is unique in the world, even Quentin Tarantino, David O. Russell and others are willing to bow to the wind. The Coen brothers, who have been displaced since the turmoil at Disney's Broadway Pictures and Miramax, have now switched to Chaos Pictures, where they will work together on at least five productions, "No Country for Old Men" being the first.

When the reporters went to collect the basic information of "no one for old age" as usual, they saw a series of names of powerful actors in the cast list, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, etc., and Lancelot Strello.

In an instant, the whole of Hollywood was in a sensation! Lance quietly finalized the plan for the next work, and it was not a director, not a screenwriter, not a producer, but an actor! This is simply a bombshell news that shakes the earth.

The news was then officially confirmed by Ethan Cohen and Cole Greid, that Lance would play a supporting role in "No Country for Old Men", and that he would only star as an actor and not be involved in any behind-the-scenes production. It was also the first time that Lance had starred in a work directed by another director.

Just this news triggered a series of chain reactions, on the one hand, people were shocked by Lance's choice, after the end of "The Incredible Hulk", Lance actually did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, just when everyone thought that Chaos Pictures would have a big move next, but they didn't expect Lance to run to the Coen Brothers' movie to make a cameo, which simply caught everyone off guard, so what is Chaos Pictures' next move?

On the other hand, people were pleasantly surprised by Lance's choice, because it meant that the name "Lancelot-Strello" had more possibilities, this time Lance could star in the Coen brothers' work, and next time he could play in other directors' works, such as Steven Spielberg, such as Christopher Nolan, and Lance could also play against those great actors, which is really exciting.

The collateral effects of Chaos Pictures are still spreading, and Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures have announced plans for the next few years.

In addition to "Avatar", the biggest move of Twentieth Century Fox is undoubtedly the announcement of the launch of the "X-Men" side series, which is currently on the agenda, and the development of "Ice Age" has also been confirmed.

Universal Pictures continued its low-budget route, announcing a series of comedy film plans and finalizing proposals for a reboot of the "Mummy" series, the most notable of which was undoubtedly the "The Incredible Hulk" program.

Universal Pictures officially announced that they signed a series of plans with Lance, although it is not yet confirmed whether Lance will continue to direct the next two works, but it is certain that Universal Pictures will work with Chaos Pictures to complete the development of the trilogy, and Lance will definitely take on the role of producer.

This is undoubtedly a positive signal - Universal Pictures has shown strong confidence in the "The Incredible Hulk" in post-production.

Again, Chaos Pictures appeared in the list of cooperation of the six major film companies, but the seemingly silent Chaos Pictures was everywhere, in just a few months, the Hollywood landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes, almost unrecognizable, but Chaos Pictures has never officially announced their next plan, which has also aroused countless curiosities. However, without waiting for the official response of Chaos Pictures, a major event occurred in the United States that shook the world.

Real estate, collapsed, collapsed violently, thousands of high-rise buildings collapsed overnight.

The tsunami financial crisis swept across the United States, and even spread to all corners of the world, gradually evolving into a world financial crisis, which set off a catastrophe that shattered the sky and the earth, and almost no one was exempt, and it seemed that all economic associations began to collapse one after another, except for China, which was able to maintain barely holding on, like an unstoppable plague, reminding people again of the Great Depression era of the thirties and the world financial crisis of the late nineties. Almost every day, there are jumping incidents, top investment banks announce their collapse, top banks declare bankruptcy, the whole Wall Street is full of rumors, people are in panic all day, as long as they turn on the TV, there is a tragic situation of corpses everywhere.

No one knows what the consequences of this financial crisis will be, and worse, no one knows when it will end and where it will eventually fall.

This sudden crisis has disrupted almost all plans in all walks of life, and Hollywood is no exception, and the six major film companies with close ties to Wall Street are the first to bear the brunt, and the plans they formulated in the first half of the year must be adjusted accordingly, among which the hardest hit is undoubtedly Warner Bros. and Disney, who have a big family and a big business, and the negative impact is naturally more turbulent.

Even Hollywood is cloudy.

Just when the whole of the United States was mired in the economic quagmire, the "New York Times" released an exclusive news that set off a storm, "Chaos Pictures completed the full acquisition of Marvel Entertainment for a transaction price of $1.45 billion, including Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios, etc., and Kevin Feige will continue to serve as the general manager of the Marvel division." ”

In the midst of countless negative news, this news was like a bolt from the blue, attracting the attention of all corners of the world. Not because of how unbelievable this acquisition is - the transaction price of 1.45 billion yuan is far from high, but because at the beginning of the financial crisis, Chaos Pictures made a decisive move and completed the most important step of original accumulation.

Suddenly, people were dumbfounded: the winner and loser appeared!
