Chapter 708: Contrast

Of course, even if she was trapped by Charlotte's illusion in an ant bottle, Thulok was an Azkertic deity after all.

Even though the development of the Azkertic gods is relatively primitive, and their followers have long been slaughtered by European colonizers, the gods are gods after all.

Anyway, it is impossible for Charlotte to see the other party's secrets at once.

- If you want to pry out the secret you want from the mouth of this Azkerite god, you must fight a long battle.

For this, Charlotte has already determined.

However, this matter does not take up much of his energy.

At present, his greater energy is still on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

Because of the box office results that broke out at the beginning, Disney no longer has doubts about this fantasy pirate film that is related to water and the protagonist is complained about as a "sissy" by his own boss.

- After all, even if Michael Eisner is a "tyrant", in business, the "tyrant" cannot get along with the dollar.

Disney, especially Disney Studios, which has been encouraged by the box office, is already in a state of rushing forward with green eyes.

And after receiving the full publicity support of Disney, the word-of-mouth and box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" also broke out in an all-round way-

Breaking 100 million in the first week is nothing.

In fact, the final first-week box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was an exaggerated 140 million.

- This number, coupled with the fact that "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is still quite good to audiences and critics so far, means that as long as there are no major problems, it is likely that another movie with a global box office of more than a billion dollars will be born.

This strengthened Charlotte's position in Hollywood.

Many people feel that when Steven Spielberg is getting old and can't keep up with the times, and James Cameron is living very slowly, and he can't make two movies in ten years, Charlotte can already be called Hollywood's No. 1 commercial film director.

Of course, this statement is not yet fully recognized.

At least, people like Michael Bay were not completely convinced by Charlotte-

Exploding Bey, who believes that "art is an explosion", is preparing to challenge Charlotte with "Pearl Harbor", which he has been crafting for two years.

- The film was also released in 2001.

— but in August.

If the release time of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is the beginning of the summer file, then the release time of "Pearl Harbor" is the end of the summer file......

"In other words, this year's summer file, we will always be surrounded by sea water?"

Kenneth Turan joked in the newspaper,

"Moreover, both of these movies are related to Disney, and maybe in Disneyland, a new water world division should be opened......"

Although this is a joke, Disneyland's turnover has indeed been positively affected by "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" -

At the very least, anyone can see the significant increase in the revenue of the Corsair project.

The whole Disney group, so there is some excitement.

And because of his strong support for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Disney Studios Chairman Robert Iger has also received a "bold and visionary" evaluation, and has completely secured his position.

But Michael Eisner, who is the president of the group, now has a bit of a sore face.

However, as a qualified businessman, having dollars to earn is the point, what is the face?

Anyway, Mr. "Tyrant" looks like nothing embarrassing has happened before.

Of course, he didn't say it, and no one under him dared to mention it.

Privately, however, there are some other opinions within the Disney Group......

"If Pearl Harbor does well in a few months' time, you'll be able to build a lot of momentum within the group. ”

As a close confidant, Philip Bierman secretly said to Robert Egger,

"At that time, maybe we can ......"

"It's too early!"

Iger waved his hand,

Moreover, the movie "Pearl Harbor" was actually established before I became the chairman of Disney Pictures, and it does not directly belong to Disney Pictures - even if it succeeds, it does not add much to my prestige!"

"But after all, it's still good!"

Philip Bierman insisted.

"That's right!"

Robert Iger nodded,

"I actually hope that Pearl Harbor will be a success......"

"But Pearl Harbor won't work!"

At an internal meeting of the Ghost Party Studios, Charlotte said for sure,

"Michael Bay may be a good hand at making action movies, but judging from all the information I have received so far, he is a little crooked in the filming of "Pearl Harbor" this time!"

"How?"

The old gun was very interested in the authentic.

"Because of the characteristics of war movies!"

Charlotte shrugged,

"Different from pure action movies, war movies like "Pearl Harbor" are extremely propositional, and patriotism, the cruelty of war, etc., are the content that must be expressed. And Michael Bay, as a director with a penchant for explosions, will inevitably emphasize explosions and all kinds of exciting shots - which makes it difficult to get the balance right. ”

"And looking at Michael Bay's previous films, he is not a director who is particularly good at balancing?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"As a director who came from MTV, Michael Bay is good at extreme performance, rather than balance, which makes him have to suppress his instincts when making serious historical war themes, so it is more difficult to make a good movie. ”

"That's right!"

The old gun nodded.

- The director can't play freely, and the subject matter of the film itself is relatively difficult, which naturally makes it more difficult to succeed.

However, the group at Ghost Party Studios will discuss the possible success or failure of "Pearl Harbor", and it is not idle -

"In order to prevent Disney from giving us a share of the losses from Pearl Harbor, we have to keep an eye on it!"

Charlotte concluded.

That's the main reason they talked about Pearl Harbor.

Of course, as a time-traveler, Charlotte still has deep memories of the big hole of "Pearl Harbor".

Not to mention anything else, the three heroes and heroines of this movie, after the failure of "Pearl Harbor", except for Ben Affleck, who finally returned to the front line with his directorial talent and shit luck against the sky, the other two gradually sank -

Josh Hartnett never appeared in a big production again, and was even reduced to acting in a TV series for a time;

And if Kate Beckinsale hadn't had the "Tales of the Night" series to hang her life, this British rose, which can be called the most beautiful after the 90s, would have withered in Hollywood long ago;

...... Anyway, Charlotte didn't see any hope for Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor" to be saved.

Of course, for him, this is not a bad thing -

This means that Disney will still have to rely on him in the field of live-action movies for a long time after that...... (https:)
