Dream Entertainment and Apple shook hands and worked together to surprise the onlookers. Especially those guys who can't wait for Yi Feiyang and Jobs to fight and lose both, are completely dumbfounded.

"How so? Could it be that in front of China Yi, Qiao Daxia can't resist it? ”

"Ha, this may be the so-called heroes cherish heroes, but I still want to see them fight to the ground!"

"I have to admit that this result is very surprising!"

……

There are both sides of the discussion, some applauded and some bad, but for those fans of Yi Feiyang, such a big ending is happy for everyone, because they like Apple's mobile phones and computers, and they prefer Yi Feiyang's movies!

The time has come to July 12th, and now there are still 3 days before the release of "I Am Legend".

The outside world has been hot and amazing, and the employees inside Dream Entertainment, although everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, are still working hard.

Yi Feiyang is also very calm, after all, he has experienced so many movie launches and box office wars, and he can be regarded as an old man, except for expectations, there seems to be no nervousness.

In the office, Yi Feiyang sat opposite an old friend.

That old friend was not an outsider, it was Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate. Gusta is a little old, his originally handsome face and beautiful mustache are no longer full of vitality as before, replaced by a kind of exhaustion and composure.

Yes, anyone who has been immersed in a circle like Hollywood for more than ten years will be soaked in old age, intrigues, and hard work, which is very painful.

"Easy. Is that really what you think? Gusta's expression was a little serious. He didn't expect his old friend to make such a request.

"Yes. Dear Gusta, I have already seriously thought about it, no matter how fast and strong my Dream Entertainment is, it will not be able to withstand the chariot siege of the seven major Hollywood studios, unless Dream and Lionsgate and Royal Gate Pictures cooperate! No. Merge, to be exact! ”

Yi Feiyang's tone was unquestionable.

Merger of three major companies?

Dream, Lion's Gate, Emperor's Gate!

Only a madman like Yi Feiyang can think of it.

But there's no denying that this is a crazy idea, and if the three companies merge together, the basic strength can even compete with any of the seven major film companies!

Scattered, they can only succumb to the old big companies, and when they merge, they are invincible in the world!

Tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, Gusta thought hard. He thinks about what's at stake.

"Well, dear Yi. Who will be in charge after the merger? Is it you, me, or Johnson of the Imperial Gate? ”

Yi Feiyang smiled, he clearly understood that whether it was himself or Gusta himself, he was eager to become the one in power, because if the three companies really merged, then they would become epoch-making new giants, and they would even be able to become the overlord of the Hollywood film industry in the future, who didn't desire such glory?

"It's better to guess the fist to decide."

"What?"

"Oh, just kidding!" Yi Feiyang said, "The atmosphere is too serious, let's relax." ”

"That's a fatal question, isn't it?" "It's hard for even you to answer." ”

"Yes." Yi Feiyang admits, "Since I conceived this idea, it has been difficult for me to answer, because in my opinion, I am the most suitable to lead the company, and you can only take a back seat." ”

"You're direct, dear Yi, though...... I hope you understand that we are older than you, but we are more eager to succeed...... Therefore, I think the idea of merging the three companies should be delayed. ”

Seeing Gusta say this, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?" ”

Gusta got up and was about to leave, when he heard this, he said, "If one day you can replace Cameron as the 'King of the World', then maybe Johnson and I will agree with your authority and be your loyal subordinates!" With that, Gusta smiled and left.

Defeat Cameron?!

Yi Feiyang heard this seemingly "impossible" task again.

How to beat him?

As we all know, James Cameron is different from all big directors in terms of filming - he is willing to burn money, pursue the most gorgeous visual effects at any cost, and his works are full of imagination. The word "notoriety" is almost inevitably used in every article detailing Cameron's life — yes, he was a demanding, imperious "patient" on the location; In the eyes of his Hollywood counterparts, Cameron is an eccentric paranoid and money-burning machine.

Arguably, James Cameron is the most compelling director of the twentieth century, the current and future record for the highest film investment, and the world's highest-grossing superlord. Can Yi Feiyang defeat a cow like this?!

Originally, Yi Feiyang even considered starting filming the most brilliant "Avatar" in Cameron's previous life, but after investigation, it was found that the original drama had already filed a case, and everything was in preparation. In other words, "Avatar", which originally started filming in 2005, inexplicably started filming two years ahead of schedule.

Yi Feiyang didn't know that these changes were actually the result of his own incurrence.

With Yi Feiyang's director's fame in the sky, constantly beating three of the four major Hollywood directors, Cameron smelled the crisis, and he must use practical actions to prove to defend his authority as the king of directors, then the best way is to start shooting a new film that is enough to detonate the world, that's right, this drama is "Avatar"!

Originally, the idea of this play was not mature enough, but Cameron couldn't manage it so much, and now he couldn't delay it any longer, and he had to give the Chinese guy who came out a head-on blow.

Cameron's advance preparation of "Avatar" forced Yi Feiyang very helplessly and forced him into a dead end. Yi Feiyang thinks that he can't find a work that can beat "Avatar", not in his previous life, almost "Avatar" is the Himalayas in the movie, the highest peak and the highest peak. I can't fight back at all.

So far, though. Yi Feiyang knows the Tao profoundly. I'm not at the point where I have to fight Cameron. On the contrary, in front of him, his new drama "I Am Legend" was directly sniped by Warner's "Terminator 3".

Speaking of which, the creator of "The Terminator" is Cameron who gives Yi Feiyang a headache! That's right, it's this old guy who wrote and directed the first and second parts of "The Terminator".

And when the famous film magazine "Film Weekly" recently selected one of the most collectible films of the 20th century, this film ranked first with the highest number of votes. And this movie is actually a science fiction film that was shot as early as 11 years ago, which is a big news in 2000, when computer special effects technology has been quite perfect. But the film's title is by no means for nothing. This is inseparable from the strong Cameron-esque action special effects style it exhibits and excellent cinematic balance and flawless special effects.

Although he was unwilling to be an enemy of Cameron, Yi Feiyang still encountered Cameron indirectly, although the director of "Terminator 3" was Jonathan Mosto. However, I heard that Jonathan was also recommended to Warner by Cameron, so there is still Cameron's shadow behind him, or to be precise, this "Terminator 3" inherited Cameron's "bloodline", and Jonathan became Cameron's "spokesperson".

In any case, Yi Feiyang is not the kind of person who gives in without a fight, not to mention that he has always been full of confidence in his movies.

Even Yi Feiyang is very eager to fight Cameron's shadow in his heart to see if his terminator is powerful or his new drama is strong.

Open the newspaper. At this time, it is overwhelming about "I Am Legend" vs. "Terminator 3".

"I'm very eager to see Schwarzenegger's sunglasses and leather coat in "Terminator 3", and I want to know if he is old?"

This is the most columbic self-description of the reporter of "Film Times" in the article.

"What are the zombies of "I Am Legend" like? That's what I'm looking forward to the most! I don't think China Easy will disappoint! This is said by a fan interviewed by a reporter from the "Hollywood Entertainment Times".

Yi Feiyang saw this. couldn't help but look at it twice, and he also looked forward to how the audience would feel after seeing these zombies who were walking, strong, flexible, and thoughtful.

Will such a zombie be accepted by the public? Yi Feiyang is looking forward to it.

That night, Yi Feiyang went back and first Anne Hathaway, until Hathaway couldn't satisfy him anymore, so he had to raise his hand and surrender, and then stuffed him into Jessica Alba's room. Jessica and Yi Feiyang met Liangcai in chess, and a battle in bed was earth-shattering, Yi Feiyang seemed to be venting his inner mania, only tortured Jessica to death, and finally the two fell asleep tired at dawn.

On the morning of July 13th, after a brief press conference, the entire fantasy entertainment and even the whole United States were ready, and "I Am a Legend" and "Terminator 3" were released at the same time at 8 pm on the 15th!

Prior to this, the two dramas that have been PK countless times in terms of publicity have already attracted the attention of all fans. Especially those fans who are obsessed with watching the "big war", they have posted on major online forums to evaluate the future trend of the box office and word-of-mouth of these two dramas.

……

15 July 2003.

Unlike usual, this time Yi Feiyang did not hold a grand premiere ceremony, nor did he walk any red carpet, let alone watch the movie with fans, but took Hathaway, Jessica and others to watch the premiere quietly in a large movie theater near Los Angeles.

At eight o'clock that night, almost all theaters in the United States were full, and the popularity of "I Am Legend" and "Terminator 3" was more exaggerated than expected.

When the ticket sales began, the queue for parties to buy tickets in many theaters was even more than ten meters long.

There are even people who buy eight out of ten movie tickets in one go, and then transfer them to those who have not bought tickets at a higher price.

According to statistics, the movie tickets for the premieres of "I Am Legend" and "Terminator 3" at eight o'clock began to sell at the same time, "I Am Legend" was all sold out at a quarter past seven, while "Terminator 3" was slightly worse, and all of them were sold out at about eight o'clock.

As the stars of "I Am Legend", Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, as well as Morgan Freeman, Jason Statham and others sat in a hall in New York that had already been chartered by Dures.

"Julie, why didn't you stay in Los Angeles with Yi?" Depp was a little curious. Because since filming, Julie has been sticking to Yi Feiyang from time to time, in the eyes of the bad boy Depp. There is definitely an "ulterior" relationship between the two.

Yi and his girlfriend watched the premiere. What am I going to do? Do you make light bulbs? Angelina said lightly. However, the reluctance and jealousy in the words are obvious.

"Huh, light bulbs? A good metaphor. This is also easy to teach you? Depp smirked. So now you look at Jason, this kid, doesn't it look like you and my light bulb? ”

Jason Statham, who was sitting to Julie's left, heard, "The movie is about to start, man, stop playing with girls!" ”

"Zhilu said the light bulb, oh no, our zombie leader!" Johnny Depuhar smiled. Somewhat funny.

At the same time, the words "Dream Entertainment" appeared on the big screen, followed by the prologue, and there were only a few big characters on the dark screen, and then the picture gradually brightened. Starring: Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Jason Statham, Morgan Freeman...... The names of all the main actors appear one after another.

Then a sedan appears on the screen, from far to near, from small to large, and then to the scene of a dilapidated New York City.

The screen zooms in, and the main character, Julie, appears on the screen.

At this moment. The story of "I Am Legend" officially began, and there were no gaps in the halls of thousands of theaters across the United States. Everyone was looking at the picture seriously. With anticipation.

The film gradually unfolds, on the slowly moving red car, Angelina Jolie has a serious expression, keeps looking ahead, holding the steering wheel, controlling the speed of the car. On the seat on the right, Lassi, the shepherd sitting, looked out the window from time to time, and at his master.

Long shot: The avenue is overgrown with weeds and a barren area, and after the car starts, I suddenly see a group of antelopes passing by, frightened by the sound of the car and fleeing in a hurry.

The antelopes were temporarily borrowed from the zoo, and the camera very cleverly captured the scene of the antelope being frightened and fleeing.

The car got faster and faster, and almost hit the antelope.

The red sedan is moving fast, the surrounding antelope is still running, the surrounding dilapidated high-rise buildings, the uneven main road, and the overgrown sidewalk, the fleeing antelope, the Mercedes-Benz car, Julie's soft and cold face.

The combination of life and death, the transformation of life and death, creates a strong visual contrast, allowing people to have an intuitive feeling of the scene where the virus has descended and the whole city is dead.

As the camera advanced, Zhu Li looked at the antelope outside and raised the gun in her hand, but in the end she didn't fight, but closed her eyes and took a deep breath!

On the big screen, the red sedan continued to run, the squeaky tires and the ground rubbing sound seemed a little harsh, and suddenly, under a sharp turn and lightning-like drift, the sedan stopped.

Walking out of the car, Angelina Jolie looked at the dilapidated scene outside the window, watching hundreds of empty cars parked in a messy manner on the street that was originally the main road, desolation and loneliness came to her heart, and she couldn't help but think that she still had a friend, and the next second, she gently stroked the shepherd dog Lassi with her hand.

Close-up, caressed by her owner, Lassi meekly screams twice and licks the back of her hand.

Then Julie held a gun in her hand, then found a hidden place and squatted, looked not far away, and began to hunt.

The antelope looked around and saw that no one appeared, and was much more relieved, and looked down to see the grass he loved to eat, and ate it leisurely for a while. At this time, on the big screen, Julie suddenly stood up, raised the gun in her hand and was about to give the antelope a fatal blow, but at this moment, a lion came out and knocked the antelope down.

Zhu Li held the gun and watched the lion in front of her eating the antelope, and this antelope was originally her prey, and then, she aimed at the lion, and at this time, several young lions ran out, watching the lioness distribute the food to the children to enjoy, Zhu Li seemed to remember something, a little distracted, and after the last, she put down the gun.

She used to be a mother as well.

As the story continues, Julie then glances at her watch, then at the sun, and shouts at Lassy, the shepherd dog, "Let's go!" Baby! ”

Then, a man and a dog disappeared into the dilapidated streets.

And then it's going home, a short time has passed in the film, but the plot seems to be very bland and bland, only the trivia of the heroine Julie.

"Is this really an easy-to-make movie in China? Why are you so boring? "Finally, someone complained in the dark.

"Yes! It's been about ten minutes. Why is it just Julie and her dog? Only the lion was terrified when it came out, and the rest was boring......"

"Who's to say it's not, I didn't feel very good at first, forget it, let's keep reading! Maybe it will be exciting later! ”

"Yes! What's the hurry, it's only been a few minutes? Wait, when will China Yi let us down! ”

……

Chatters like this slowly appeared. And the film is still tepid.

The heroine, Julie, takes her dog to the villa, cooking, eating, etc., and then closing all the windows, and then sleeping...... It's very dull!

It's a rather boring scene again. This time, there was finally a large area of complaints!

"Hell! What a broken movie, I already knew that I would go to watch "Terminator 3"! ”

"It's very dull, it's boring, and it makes people wonder if this is the work of China Yi!"

The noisy movie theater is full of a lot of complaints, maybe the previous expectations are too great, at this moment, the boring part in front of "I Am Legend" has disappointed many people, except for some die-hard fans of China Yi who are still waiting patiently, believing that the back will be exciting, and many of the rest are disappointed and complaining, and even many people began to eat popcorn and play with their mobile phones.
