362 - tsk tsk, Warner Bros.

The situation that happened on Saturday, and everyone in the circle understood what was going on. No matter what the purpose was, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. were tacitly squeezing Universal Pictures’ projects.

The mastermind behind all this is the lunatic young Hollywood boss.

Less than a day after the media released the report, the news was almost over. Even the reason why Twentieth Century Fox did this was analyzed.

The reason is very simple, that is, the greater benefit.

Now this "Independence Day" invests 75 million US dollars, and the investment in publicity and development is likely to exceed 100 million. This is the top project of 20th Century Fox this year, but it has been used to collide with Universal Pictures.

No matter how much box office you lose this summer or how much risk you will take, there will be a promise from that young man to pay.

"Batman: The Moment of War" has a peripheral sales of 100 million yuan, as well as videotapes that have been selling well for more than half a month. These are the basic operating capabilities of the production company and can be completely copied.

The premise of copying is to ensure the success rate of superhero movies. This omni-channel profitability is comparable to animated feature films, but the production cycle is far lower than that of animated feature films. It is the root cause of Warner Bros.'s other giants' jealousy.

The guarantee for the success of the comic-adapted superhero is undoubtedly Wayne Greenberg, who turned this niche video into a summer carnival for movie fans.

Unless this summer starts and Universal Pictures achieves the expected success, facing the huge investment of comic-modifying superheroes, several other giants will never easily start.

Everyone seemed to be watching a farce. While privately mocking Wayne for making a big deal, he pulled the two giants crazy by harming others and not doing anything for himself, while coldly waiting for the arrival of the summer season, and couldn't wait to see the three giants biting their dogs.

However, what people unexpectedly expected is still to come. Saturday is just the beginning. Early on Sunday morning, Warner Bros. happily announced the release dates of the remaining projects they invested in.

Some people who were still watching the show yesterday found out that they were ugly the next day. They were not outsiders, and they were all brought in by the dark madman.

"What do Warner Bros. want to do? Go crazy with Wayne Greenberg?"

Mel Gibson, who has been busy with awards ceremony events, came to Paramount this time to discuss the issue of the cocktail party, but unexpectedly discovered that Warner Bros.'s big move actually involved more than one or two companies.

The Disney production "Ranstorm", starring him, was announced to be released in mid-June more than two weeks ago. As a popular candidate for this year's Oscars, Disney's distribution company Bowei Pictures has regarded him as its main promotional point early on.

Looking at the Los Angeles Times entertainment section, the headlines above are the reports that Wayne Greenberg's new project, "The Walker" will premiere in mid-June.

Even if this is not the Batman that movie fans are looking forward to, no one dares to underestimate his project. Yes, this is not a commercial blockbuster in the traditional sense, but Wayne's movie has never followed the market rules, right? Who knows whether this realistic gangster film will explode at the box office!

“mother fxxker!son of the bxxxh…”

Although I knew that this was targeting Disney, Australian movie stars still kept squirting out all the time, and the president's secretary who was walking by the side frowned.

Everyone knows that Hollywood celebrities have an image in front of the public, and there is another image behind them, but the contrast is as big as that of Australians, so the secretary doesn't see much.

"Mr. Gibson, Ms. Lansing's meeting is over."

“Ok.”

Mel Gibson reached out and rubbed his face, stood up and tidied up his suit, grabbed the newspaper and followed the secretary into the office.

The first thing he saw after coming in was the first female giant in Hollywood history, Ceo, who also held the newspaper with an ugly face, and both of them watched the Los Angeles Times this morning.

After the secretary whispered to the door, he did not disturb Shirley Lansing. Instead, he sat at his desk and took out the newspaper he hadn't finished reading. He wanted to know what else would make the legendary female manager look ugly.

Until a few minutes passed, Mel Gibson couldn't help but mutter in surprise. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"I feel so, too."

The woman's voice came, and she looked up and found that the other person was holding a coffee cup and the newspaper she had read was on the table.

"Okay, let's talk about the main thing." Shirley Lansing did not continue the topic, put down the coffee and looked at him and said, "Tomorrow at 5 o'clock, the pie-salad party will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly. We have invited a large number of college members to specific public relations matters..."

"I am ready."

Mel Gibson didn't care about anything else. The Oscars that arrived soon were the top priority, and nothing else was important. "The agent helped me find a lobbying company, and I personally would pay out three million US dollars in public relations fees to ensure that "Brave Heart" always appears in media reports."

"Paramount will do its best to mobilize its media resources. You don't have to worry about this. For specific plans, you can contact the public relations department."

After a simple exchange, Mel Gibson did not care about the news reported by the newspaper and left the office and went straight to the public relations department.

Shirley Lansing once again picked up the newspaper, stared at the news on it, and fell into deep thought.

"The Walker of the Side" was released in mid-June, with Disney's "Ranstorm" on the same weekend, which has nothing to do with Paramount.

However, "Mission: Impossible" released at the end of May is their top production this year, and Tom Cruise can be said to be the biggest box office guarantee.

During the period when other companies avoided it, Warner Bros. stuffed the most popular production of the year "Tornado" on the same weekend, which is what makes Paramount Ceo feel sick.

Since the failure of "The Land Ambition" a few years ago, big companies in the circle have understood one thing: superstars are not entirely a box office guarantee, and no one can say that any movie will suddenly be neglected by movie fans.

Otherwise, the combination of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman would not have encountered Waterloo.

You know, since Tom Ge's popularity became popular, no matter what type of films he participated in, the audience seemed to only recognize his handsome face, and basically never failed at the box office.

The only time that made the production company lose money in these years was the only movie "The Land Ambition". But this movie reminded all production companies that superstars are not always so useful, otherwise Shirley Lansing would not feel irritated.

"In mid-Matrix, the Matrix, the Hulk, the same weekend as Universal Studios. At the end of May, the opponent of Paramount's Mission: Impossible. In mid-June, the same weekend as Disney's "Ranstorm".

Oh, let me see, there is "Independence Day" on June 28, and the target is Universal Pictures' "Fatty Professor". At the end of July, Joe Schumacher and starring Samuel Jackson, it is "Scimitar Killing" by Miramax on the same weekend."

Naomi Watts was holding a signature pen in his hand, comparing the newspapers for the past two days, while playingfully connecting different movies on the notebook.

After several months of cultivation, the woman has not let her exercise take a few more kilograms of meat on her body. She leaned against the recliner on the balcony, except for her obviously bulging belly, she is still so thin elsewhere on her body.

When she drew the final movie, she reached out and pushed Wayne, who was reading the script carefully, and asked curiously: "I heard that the director of "A New Dawn" and the starring Quentin are all your admirers. Since she wants to bully that fat man, why not wait for the release date of "The Patient in the UK"?"

"Nami, this is not a game!"

Wayne put down the script of "Lord of the Rings", reached out to touch the golden retriever lying under his feet, and confirmed that it was just asleep, so he looked at the Australian girl helplessly and explained.

"Warner Brothers is not my own company. I can only set up the videos in the prime time of the summer season, and it can be delayed until now to announce the release date. The distribution department has had a big conflict with the theater alliance."

Things are far from as simple as outsiders see. No matter how heavy Wayne is in Warner Bros. and how many shares he holds, it is not as easy to let the company accompany him to perform this drama.

What he lost was not just the X-Men series on the 20th Century Fox. Jeff Robinoff helped him convey the promise to the Warner Bros. board, which was much heavier than planning the overall situation for the X-Men and being a producer.

Without the huge profits promised, even if he owns a large stake in Warner Bros., other board members and executives will not accompany him to go crazy.

The probability of this kind of crazy profit is Warner Bros. Others don’t know this. In general, it is also a gamble to be favored before the movie is released.

Moreover, if this will cause a chain reaction, even Wayne himself is not sure whether there will be an accident of losing both sides or losing a lot. No one can say it accurately, so the price you should pay will never be less.

"Dear, are you a little too anxious?" Naomi Watts observed his face and advised carefully: "Maybe we can wait for the opportunity without arousing the hatred of all companies. Now the summer season is completely disrupted by you."

He stretched out a hand and gently stroked the woman's belly. Wayne looked at her eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm a lunatic too?!"

Without the Australian girl's answer, she got the answer from her facial expressions. He suddenly smiled. "That's right. Even you think I'm a hornet's nest. You'll go crazy with a touch. What do you think others will think? I just want to tell all the people in the circle, don't make me easy to do if you have nothing to do!"
