The first half of '94 was extremely boring.

On January 1, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by the United States, Canada and Mexico came into effect, and the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) was born.

Just when the three countries were rejoicing, who would have imagined that more than 20 years later, the current debt-ridden star entrepreneur would take this agreement and jump sideways repeatedly? Unhappy with both Canada and Mexico?

Then, on February 15, when the Japan-US trade talks failed to reach an agreement, America announced sanctions against Japan.

This also made Panasonic, which did not open the media and entertainment territory in America, and was not ready to make game consoles like Sony, began to peddle shares in American music companies, in the face of Panasonic's move, those giants who wanted to invade Hollywood seemed to be sharks that smelled blood, but after learning that Panasonic could not keep Steven Spielberg and Roland Allen at all, the giants who participated in the bidding suddenly lost a lot of interest.

It's true that they have money, but it's not spent wildly!

Now as long as you are a fool, you can see that only by eating two people can the company achieve a smooth transition in acquisitions, and when they choose to leave, the prospects of the entire company are also much darker.

On 30 March, the United States announced that it would lift some export restrictions imposed during the Cold War on the former woolly bears, Eastern European countries, and the unspeakable mysterious countries of the East from 1 April.

After learning that the other party was studying the introduction of several films that basically reflected the world's outstanding civilization achievements and the artistic and technical achievements of contemporary film in the form of account-sharing distribution every year, these guys were eager to know the specific number and regional quotas.

Is there a limit to the number per region?

It doesn't matter!

Isn't it just the end of the project that we let the branches in other countries invest in?

The American Trilogy?

Then we use German companies to export to you, and the three here are counted as European, right?

Of course, Roland, who knows history, understands that it is Spielberg who can eat this oral soup, and the first film that was finalized and introduced was "Schindler's List", but although people left the world, the old man who still retained the right to speak refused the proposal to edit the fruit dew picture, so after the negotiation was blocked, Harrison Ford picked up the bargain.

And the next second movie to be introduced, the first film to break 100 million at the box office in an unspeakable country, is "True Lies" by the governor and the truck driver, as for Roland?

I don't know how long the queue will be.

But it doesn't matter, because Roland knows that it is better to enter sooner than to enter skillfully.

As soon as "Titanic" came out, the movies before and after were all foils!

As for Spielberg, who voluntarily gave up his head soup and did not introduce movies in the process of confrontation with the Eight National Congress, how did he become a well-known director? It's actually about piracy.

In 1977, Lucas's "Star Wars" took the world by storm, but it was too early for the Eastern country.

In 1991, "Terminator 2" was extremely popular, but it was still a bit early for the Eastern Kingdom.

But in 1993, when "Jurassic Park" appeared, it was the time when the VCD was standardized in the Oriental Country, and Wan Yan even talked about what VCD was on X Central Radio and Television Station, although it was stolen by foreigners, but the market already has, and the moment the VCD opened the door, the dinosaurs came, and when it began to be popularized in 97, "Jurassic Park 2" came again.

What story and acting skills are ruthlessly trampled on in front of realistic visual effects.

When the guys who came into contact with these strange things for the first time saw the dinosaurs, it no longer made sense to drink the first soup or not.

Because the first love is very beautiful.

In addition to these three things that can be remembered by Roland, the dismal box office market is also one of the few bright spots in the first half of the year.

After Jim Carrey's "Detective Plane", the only eye-catching movies released in Hollywood are "Four Weddings and a Funeral" on March 9 and "Whitehead 3" on March 18.

"Four Weddings and a Funeral" is a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant, who is the male boss of the new actress Renee Zellweger in "BJ's Single Diary"; The investment in the whole film is only 4.4 million, but it has won 52 million at the box office in North America, and it is expected to be as high as 200 million worldwide.

And compared with this small-budget and big-miracle movie, the final chapter of the series "Bald Detective 3" is a big pounce! The cost of 30 million, the box office of 51 million, except for the big murderer in it, there are no other highlights in the whole movie!

Of course, the street fight of "Bald Detective 3" is not the point.

The point is that these three movies are the top three works among the new movies released this year!

After "Jurassic Park" swept the world, the number of moviegoers in all major box offices around the world declined, and in the case of "Schindler's List" and "Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia", which are gradually coming to an end, they can only attribute all factors to the head effect.

Fox and Universal, who are 'idle and painful', and Disney, Paramount and Sony, who have premeditated themselves, even changed the column of "Variety" magazine's estimate of the summer box office market in early May to market analysis, and under the analysis of a bunch of experts who 'took money', those gorgeous rhetoric that is usually only suitable for written expressions came out of their mouths as if they didn't want money.

"Since the birth of Hollywood, there has been no shortage of stars here, but there are too few who can do the first."

"Gone with the Wind" made Vivien Leigh, but she never walked out of this movie, and then "Broken Blue Bridge" is indeed a classic, but after people see her, they will always call her Scarlett first."

"It's the same with Clint Eastwood, who, although he's played a lot of classic roles in different movies, the first thing people think of when they see him is Joe in a cowboy hat."

"Harrison Ford is a lot better than the two of them because he has two classics that he can't beat, whether it's Han Solo or Indiana Jones, they're both impressive."

"With the exception of Vivien Leigh, who rarely plays for her own reasons, Clint and Harrison are both representatives of the head effect, with the former being the record holder in the top 10 box office for many years, and the latter ......"

"Who would have thought before Roland came out that Harrison's box office record would be broken?"

"Although many people find it hard to believe that the current Roland has achieved the first place, the reality of Chiguoguo has been placed in front of us! In the twelve months since "Jurassic Park", no movie has grossed more than 500 million! ”

"The closest movie is the 440 million "My Fair Daddy", but the lineup of this movie is Chris Columbus + Robin Williams + Sally Field + Pierce Brosnan ......"

"Although Roland doesn't have a classic trilogy like Clint or two series with a complete world view like Harrison, based on the market feedback over the past 12 months, we still believe that he is the first guy to reach the top after Harrison Ford! Or, no one knows where his ceiling is! Because without him, the whole market is bleak! ”

"I know a lot of people will scoff at our analysis when they see this!"

"But next month you'll learn that this year's North American box office champion and global box office champion will still be him!"

"Because those of you who are questioning or choosing to believe are waiting for his movie! Whether you love him or not, you all want to know what "Forrest Gump" that allows Roland to learn will be filmed! Is Roland still cheerful? Or do you choose to turn around and pursue art? And what kind of story does the first animated film "The Lion King" he participated in? - The box office market, which has been silent for 12 months, will bloom again because of his return! We have always believed in it! The decline in moviegoers and box office is not that you have lost interest! It's that you're waiting for the guy you love, the king to return! ”

Hold a big grass!

Seeing that "Variety", known as the "Hollywood Bible" and "the vane of global cinema", published such an article that did not want Bilian, Roland himself had goosebumps all over his body.

Is this special code considered publicity? Or is it blowing?

The box office market is not good, is my movie not on yet?

I'm obviously a movie-maker, I know the market?

As for comparing him to Roland Allen and Vivien Leigh, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford?

The words are full of the word 'transcendence'?

ヾ(17｀Д0717)

Are these guys fans of surpassing their sisters?

Bah!

These guys are really damned!

Isn't that a cause for me to be sprayed by those guys' fans?

However, in the eyes of those old men, this matter is too common.

"Isn't that reciprocal benefit? I've seen too much. Francis Coppola took a sip of wine, and his face flushed directly threw the magazine aside in his hand, "Steven said, you and Universal and Fox happily reached an agreement? ”

"Isn't this the honeymoon period after consensus?"

"The conditions you agreed to are satisfactory to them, in this case, they will naturally buy manuscripts to give you back, those guys are profit-seeking, but they will not force us, as long as we talk well, the wind of public opinion will blow to our side!"

George Lucas, who was burping, also nodded repeatedly, "As soon as you look at "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King", you will know that this article was originally a promotional manuscript bought by Paramount and Disney, but the four companies Universal and Fox bought it together, so this kind of exaggerated report will appear, but it doesn't matter!" This kind of report of who surpasses whom is too common in the circle! ”

"What's more, Clint and Harrison are still our men, how could the two of them care about these things?"

"Besides, your fan base doesn't coincide, and if you're really worried about your fans taking sides, send them two premiere invitations! Harrison also has a "Burning Pursuit" in August, you go and have a show! The three of you are together, and who else is going to question your relationship? Even if there is an argument about who is greater...... That won't start a fight......"

"The point is that they can't beat their wives and children even if they fight!"

Before Lucas finished speaking, the party scene burst into laughter.

That's right, when Roland saw the article "Variety", he was already on the route to Skywalker Ranch.

And by the time he entered the old man's manor, the old fellows who had been invited to the scene had already finished reading the article.

They who have maintained good relations with various media don't care about these things at all, that is, after Roland gave the gift and complained casually, they laughed a few words - after all, they know in their hearts that the media that is manipulated by others will not have absolute justice at all, what kind of weather vane? What Bible? You can't affect "Variety", it's just that you don't have enough money and your face isn't big enough! And in the case of writing an article, Disney, Paramount, Universal, Fox, Sony will all pay......

It's a one-time decision, five times more enjoyable!

The satisfaction just overflows, okay?

It's not that they don't want to refuse, it's that the money given by the five families is too much!

Besides, compared with the four scripts that Spielberg threw away, they have seen enough blowing water PR drafts in their lives, which is really not attractive at all - yes, although today is Lucas's fiftieth birthday, it really doesn't make sense to talk about where to go with the guy who is on vacation every day, plus their projects are all interconnected, so that the project draft that Roland is about to prepare can arouse their interest.

Especially after they finished reading the manuscript, the look of 'sure enough' made Roland stare even more.

"Don't you think there's anything wrong?"

Although it was a 50th birthday party, there were a total of eight people present.

In addition to Roland and Lucas, the other six have either already won the Oscar, or they will definitely win the Oscar.

So when the old man threw out the script, Roland was ready to be complained about.

But the problem is, these guys seem to think that it is normal for commercial films to be dead, and disaster movies to be made into romance films!

"Isn't that right? What's wrong? In the face of Roland's inquiry, all seven laughed.

Robert Zemeckis, who was waiting for the release of "Forrest Gump", put down the script and shook his head: "James really didn't dare to shoot the real Titanic and make the disaster movie into a romance movie?" It's similar to what everyone guessed! ”

What？

When Roland heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

If the truck driver wants to make a big news, it is not a secret to insiders at all, but the wind direction spread outside is all an epic disaster movie! Why do these guys think it's right for a truck driver to make a romance movie?

Just when Roland felt that 'this matter was poisonous', the 'Ninja Sword Seven', who had long regarded him as his own, did not hide it.

The first to speak was Martin Scorsese, who had been teaching in New York, "Roland. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you think there's something wrong with the book?"

"No, I think you might think there's something wrong with the book."

Francis Coppola, who also spends a lot of time in New York every day and has long been in the old money family on Long Island, laughed, "Do you think we'll think these four books are too superficial?" ”

"Yes." That's what Roland really thought.

"Then you're mistaken." Ron Howard shook his head, "It's really not good to look at these four books separately, but if you add the Titanic and put them together, they are different......"

Brian Palma, who will make "Mission Impossible" in the future, knocked on the table and said: "Because the Titanic can never be filmed according to real history, do you want to watch a story about the Titanic that the White Star Company had to create in order to fight against the Canard Company and seize the shipping market?" ”

"No, you don't want to."

"Or, do you want to see a film about why the Titanic sank, and by the way, depict the reporting war of the world's news giants three days after the Titanic?" George Lucas smiled and said, "It's filmed, can it be released?" ”

"How exactly the Titanic sank, we don't know, we don't know, whether it was to cheat the insurance or not, but what we do know is that according to reality, this movie will definitely lose money......" Spielberg sighed, shook his head and said: "Because you are fighting against the media all over the world, and you are questioning the accuracy of the media all over the world." ”

That's right, it doesn't matter how the Titanic sank at all, what matters is what you want to embody.

After the Titanic hit the iceberg, they sent out a distress signal, and were captured by the Associated Press and the New York Times, but the content of the news was very interesting, and the New York Times said, "All the women and girls have been rescued".

And then the media news of various countries is even more exaggerated, "most of the passengers have been rescued", "all passengers have been rescued", and even the British Reuters news agency said that "the Titanic sank, but no one was killed".

Seeing this kind of report, the ghost knows that there is a problem - but even if there is a problem, there is no way, and the commercial telegraph of that era was all controlled by GEC, that is, General Electric equipment.

But when all the media asked for the truth, the GEC replied that 'the telegram signal is poor, and it may not have been received'.

Hold the grass!

The world's commercial telegrams are under your control, and when you ask you for accurate information, you tell us I don't know?

Isn't that a joke?

But it doesn't matter, the Carpathia went to the site of the Titanic's accident after receiving the news.

When it comes back, won't the truth be revealed?

But when the Carpathia docked in New York, only a New York Times reporter dressed as a GEC employee got the latest information, which depicted the captain who had locked himself in the cabin, the violinist who was playing at the time of the shipwreck, and the passengers in the first-class cabin...... These contents have even made their way into many school textbooks.

But the problem is that the Carpathia docked in New York at 9:40 p.m., and the New York Times had already released the printed newspaper at 12 o'clock. Do you not need time for printing? Don't codewords need time?

The point is that at the subsequent hearing, the chairman of the hearing released a telegram intercepted by the US military.

GEC hopes that after the Carpathia docks, everyone on board, including the survivors, refuses to disclose any information to the media, they will get a sum of money, and GEC will take care of them for the rest of their lives.

"What is GEC trying to hide? We never know. ”

"But what we do know is that GEC created the BBC."

"And GEC's majority shareholder is Morgan."

"The majority shareholder of the White Star Company is also Morgan."

"All the guys who want to shoot the Titanic, as long as they have a little brain, will not dig these things."

"Do you want to go against the BBC? Do you want to go against the New York Times? Do you want to go against GM's NBC? Do you want to expose Morgan's old roots? Or do you want to restore the classic scene at the hearing that year, when you asked railway experts to investigate the shipping problem? ”

"It's already dusty history, let it pass, and in this case, what else can the Titanic shoot?"

"How fearless were those people back then?"

"How selfless were those people back then?"

"Or do you want to shoot the spirit of the Anglo-Saxons?"

"What's the point of filming these topics that have already been said to be rotten?"

"You have to know that James is also a guy who is happy to cooperate with the Ronald Perelman hype."

"He's not going to be so stupid to shoot these things."

"Although the love in the script is thin, as long as the person dies, the story can be great."

"As long as you shoot well, not to mention that the media all over the world will tout you ......"

"At least the BBC, NBC, the New York Times ......"

"They're going to put you on the altar."

"Because they will be happy to see that the example of young people today is like a history that people are willing to see - why did the Titanic sink? Young people don't know...... But they know that the love between Jack and Rousi is extraordinarily great! ”

"And the "Spider-Man 2 and 3" after that?"

"Isn't this kind of movie that celebrates individual heroism their favorite thing?"

"The press releases they sent out back then were all describing how great the British and American gentlemen were!"

"GM will love you, and so will Morgan, like Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn, love you......"

When these old men looked at Roland with smiling eyes, Roland ......

Well, Roland, who heard clearly, knew that he was fooling himself.

The plot of "Titanic" is naïve?

So what does it matter?

As long as the people who like it like it, that's enough!

And GM and Morgan, apparently, are the ones who have the ability to like it!

Many people complain that they can't make a good movie no matter how they make a movie while wearing shackles.

But who isn't?

What is the stuff of free speech, the move of the Wall Street Journal, haven't you seen through it yet?

"The actor?" Roland didn't mention anything else, but went straight to the roots.

"I've seen the list you gave me, everyone call for you."

Spielberg passed the list that Roland had written, and when they saw the list of acquaintances, they all laughed and shook their heads.

Ron Howard, "Tom is definitely fine. ”

Martin Scorsese, "Meryl and Robert are okay too. ”

Francis Coppola, "Anthony is okay too. ”

Robert Zemeckis, "Leonardo...... It is estimated that there will be no problem either. ”

"As for the heroine......" Spielberg glanced at Ron Howard.

"If Gwen is going to die, my daughter will definitely not be able to act." Ron Howard made it clear.

"My attitude is the same." Francis Coppola nodded.

"Then let's select people."

Brian Parma said nonchalantly: "You go and ask James, is it they doing it, or we are doing it. ”
