If you want to talk about the operation, there are many companies in Hollywood, but after 2010, it must be Warner Bros. the most.

People are inevitably consequential, so much so that some of the operations that Warner later exposed made people shocked, so many industry elites got together and made some brain-dead decisions?

The failure of "Pharaoh and the Gods" put Jon Berg under a lot of pressure, and the trigger for the ouster of his predecessor Alan Horn was to mess up "Terminator 2018".

Daniel is no better, even if he shirks his responsibility, "Pharaoh and the Gods" is also a project that he secretly engaged in Martin and pushed to the company.

Jon Berg thought about another film project that had already started shooting, the one he saw from Martin Davis's office - Jack the Giant Catcher!

This magical epic adaptation of a classic fairy tale, with a production budget of $200 million, cannot afford to lose.

It's really going to be messed up, even if he's Kevin Tsujiwara's brother-in-law, he's going to have to roll up and get out.

Jon asked Daniel, "What do you think of Jack the Giant Catcher?" ”

This project has nothing to do with Daniel, and he doesn't want to mix it, and said: "I still have a bit of an urgent matter over there, and we'll talk about it another day." ”

When Daniel left, Jon pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more worried about the project "Giant Catcher Jack", so he simply called his close assistant McDonald to come in.

He said: "There is a very important job for you to do, "Jack the Giant Catcher" has already started filming, I am not very comfortable with the project, you represent me to the crew, supervise the work of the crew. ”

MacDonald replied, "Yes, President." ”

The project promoted by Jon himself has already invested a lot of money, and it is impossible to stop, and the sunk cost is too high, he advised: "We must let the crew complete the shooting with quality and quantity." ”

MacDonald felt the attention of his immediate boss and said, "I will follow the crew through the filming and production until the project is completed." ”

Jon waved his hand, "It's over today." ”

MacDonald hurried back to pack his bags and rushed to the crew in Atlanta.

Jon was a little relieved.

MacDonald showed up on the set, and word quickly spread to the other investors in the project.

The Castle Stone Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Relativity Entertainment, which participated in the investment, have learned from each other.

Each company communicated with the producer, Warner Pictures, to send a new production manager to the crew as well.

Jon Berg thinks it's a good thing, because a lot of talent comes together, not only to hold the director from letting himself go, but also to work together when he encounters a problem, and to respond immediately.

On Tuesday, four more production managers flew to Atlanta.

Brian Singh, the director of "Giant Catcher Jack", can also be regarded as an old veteran in Hollywood, and he also served as a producer on the crew, and basically made a decision from preparation to shooting.

But his good days came to an abrupt end, and suddenly there were five more dads on top of his head, and everyone's opinions were different.

On the day the five bigwigs gathered, a fierce quarrel broke out on the set.

In the face of the big daddy of the management, even if Brian Singh is very annoyed, there is no good way but to adopt their opinions appropriately after they reach a compromise.

The originally calm crew of "Giant Catcher Jack" has since become lively, comparable to the crew of "Alien 3" when David Fincher first debuted.

When Twentieth Century Fox filmed and produced "Alien 3", he found David Fincher, the director of the MV and advertising industry, and David Fincher, a pure newcomer in the film industry, as the director.

The excitement during the period can be imagined, David Fincher was tortured in an inhuman form, suffered a critical mental blow, vowed never to touch a movie again after filming, returned to the MV and the advertising circle for three years, before he healed his heartache and picked up the movie guide to shoot the famous "Seven Deadly Sins".

What happened later is well known, no matter on any occasion and in front of anyone, David Fincher categorically denied that "Opposite Sex 3" was his work.

…………

"Pharaoh and the Gods" received a very poor response in North America, and the news of the box office failure spread around the world like wings.

Although the film has not yet been released overseas, the negative effects have already appeared, and the expected film schedule in the major film markets has dropped significantly.

On the one hand, this is caused by the collapse of the box office and word-of-mouth of the film itself, and on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that new films were released in more than 40 countries and regions around the world at the same time during the second weekend of May.

The sequel to the blockbuster movie "Fast and Furious" had a huge premiere in North America.

The man who "wants my dog's life, I want your dog's life" is back!

Los Angeles Hollywood, Emirates Rock Theatre.

Martin, dressed in a crisp black suit, led Elizabeth down the red carpet, drank a can of Coke routinely, went to the media area for a photo, and then entered the theater.

Louise came over and asked, "The person you invited didn't come." ”

Martin said: "Jon Berg is so rude that I was at his premiere and he didn't accept my invitation. ”

Uncle Mene leaned over and said: "When our film is fully released and the box office is released in the first week, I will ask my friends to bring electronic amplifiers to the vicinity of Warner Studios and play box office figures every day!" ”

Elizabeth was also infected: "Lily has a king-size power there, I asked her to send it to you?" ”

Mene said, "I contacted Lily to get it herself. ”

Chad, Marcus, Chen Hu and others came over one after another.

Marcus looked a lot fatter again, walked with a big belly and trembling, and said to Martin: "Disney Studios has arranged the schedule of "Lone Survivor" in October this year. ”

Martin said: "The schedule is okay, I watched the first version of the clip test, and the shooting was very good. ”

"I have some ideas." Marcus added: "Invite some veterans, as well as the few Afghans we found to help me, to come to the premiere of the film. “

Martin nodded slightly: "Yes, you can do it." He turned to Jessica and said, "You communicate well with Disney Studios." ”

Elizabeth then reminded, "Alan and Robert Iger are here. ”

Martin nodded to Marcus and turned to meet Alan Horn and Robert Egger and shook their hands warmly.

Robert Iger said: "I watched the preview screening and it was great! ”

Alan Horn answered: "The test screening was very popular, and it was even better than the first part. ”

Martin politely said: "Disney is working well here." “

Although the premiere of "Fast and Furious 2" was only held today, the media, audiences, film critics and theater managers have held three test screenings in succession, and the ban on word-of-mouth in all aspects has long been lifted.

This shows the filmmaker's strong confidence in the film.

In the case of Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness is as high as 95%; The MTC has an average rating of 78 points, and the IMDB audience score is 8.5 for the time being.

Most importantly, as of the day of the premiere, the North American advance box office of "Fast and Furious 2" exceeded $30 million!

The group went to the theater lobby, and Chad was left behind, and said to Martin as he walked: "I have discussed the plot of the third part with Bradt several times, and it can basically be determined. ”

Martin said: "I read the script outline that Bradt sent me, so let's go with your train of thought." ”

Chad added: "After the promotion of this part is over, Tiger, Tiger, and Marcus and I will start the action scene design of the third part, and there may be more melee fighting scenes. ”

Martin is very reassuring about their ability to design movements: "On my side, you don't have to worry about maintaining basic training all the time. ”

Chadxin said that it is precisely because of the existence of actors like Martin that the actions they design can be presented almost perfectly in the film.

When the main creative staff of the crew entered the theater together, there was warm applause at the scene.

The success of the first part has created a large number of fans.

In the past two years, "Fast and Furious" DVD sales have been amazing, and it has been ranked in the top 10 of the North American DVD sales and rental list.

The crew didn't do any special activities, just like Jonathan, the actor in the film, and sat directly in the first row when the applause fell.

The premiere screening began.

From the first shot of the film, the audience's emotions were mobilized, without any nonsense and verbosity, and the actor played by Martin did not have a single superfluous line, he could solve the problem with the gun in his hand, and he definitely did not waste his tongue.

The plot of the whole story is completely connected by a simple literary drama and a series of intense and fiery action scenes, like the Sacred Valley Opera, when it should be done.

The action scenes are so cool that they don't have friends.

The film easily mobilizes the emotions of the audience and allows them to accompany the protagonist on an adventure.

After more than an hour of blood rushing, the protagonist fires the final shot in this film, continuing the fine tradition of not letting the villain finish speaking.

When the villain is complacent, Jonathan shoots his head, and he is simply sharp!

The emotions of the audience have also been fully released, and the adrenal glands of the people who are thrilled by the refreshing sensation fly together with dopamine!

The whole movie is cold and sharp, without telling any profound truths, it is still the story of a legendary killer who kills a bloody road to revenge, which looks effortless and extraordinarily happy.

At the end of the premiere, the audience once again erupted in warm applause.

Robert Iger stood up and applauded and asked Alan Horn next to him, "How do you feel about the first part?" ”

"It's even more exciting than the first one!" Allen is very sure of this: "The sequel completely surpasses the predecessor, and the box office will definitely be higher than the first one." ”

Robert Iger sighed: "It's a pity that he doesn't want to star in a Marvel superhero movie." ”

Alan Horn smiled: "It's okay for a star of Martin's level Marvel to ask him to temporarily play a role in a certain part at a high price, it's impossible to shoot a role in a row, what Marvel can give him, other movies can also give, and there is no Marvel sequelae." ”

Robert Iger has seen a statistic that it is not difficult for Martin to achieve $40 million in the year of release before and after the release of a single film, and it will get higher and higher as the coffee position increases, not counting the investment income of Davis Studios.

Three more to send, ask for a monthly pass!! Double the monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!

I went back to my hometown for dinner last night, and I was supposed to come back in the evening, but it was foggy, and I couldn't leave until more than ten o'clock this morning, and I had to take my computer with me next time I went back.
