Chapter 238 The way forward

"The Soul-Elevating Girl" is an art film in a pure sense, which is completely different from the healing film of "Beautiful Mind" that is dressed in the cloak of an art film and pursues the pleasing mainstream values.

The depressing atmosphere and profound connotation are filled with, if you are not a heavy movie lover, it is difficult to keep watching it.

Even if you have the Palme d'Or, it will be difficult to attract widespread attention from movie fans.

So the movie was premiered globally at the Cannes Film Festival in May, but the official release in North America was in mid-August, and the global release will be after September.

It is to avoid the hot summer vacation, delay the schedule, and use the spring breeze of the awards ceremony season to attract some movie fans to buy tickets.

But unexpectedly, this summer, Tang En's name is at its peak!

The cross-hype between the two sides made Tang En the summer season, especially with the violent trend of "Spider-Man", he had a personal brand effect!

The products produced by Tang En must be the best!

With the blessing of this powerful halo, Tang En's literary film "The Soul-Evering Girl", which served as the producer, actually achieved considerable success in the box office.

Although it cannot compete with the most mainstream commercial blockbusters, "The Soul-Evering Girl" has the ability to crush everything against some messy little shrimps.

The first week of box office was $15.8 million, ranking second only to New Line Film's "Invasion of Brain Cells".

Entering the second week of the release, there will be three competitive new films, Universal's "Beautiful Girls Cheerleader", Warner's "The Art of War" and Disney's "The Fox and Dogs".

The box office trends of "Beautiful Girls Cheerleaders" and "The Art of War" have nothing to do with Don Eun.

He is only paying close attention to one movie - Disney's "The Fox and Dog Party"!

At this critical moment when Tangen Pictures and Disney are fighting each other, Tangen Pictures, which is weak, must seize every opportunity to boost morale, start from bit by bit, accumulate little by little, and finally complete a big comeback against Disney.

"The Soul-Evering Girl" naturally bears a very difficult task, which is to crush "The Fox and Dog Party" in the box office market!

"The Fox and the Dog Party" is a bad movie, there is no doubt about it. Don't look at "The Soul-Easing Girl" is an art film, according to the normal box office trend, it is no problem to win the battle.

What Tang En is most worried about is whether Disney will attack at this critical moment of fighting between the two sides?

Disney's movies have been crushed by Don't Photos for a summer.

Since June, Disney movies have been living in the shadow of Don't Pictures.

It was nothing that Michael Eisner had not attracted the attention of him before, but now Michael Eisner has taken action. He personally competed with Donne. His methods are sharp and ruthless!

What if Michael Eisner "buys the box office" in theaters through relationships?

At this time, the two sides fought for one breath!

Michael Eisner can even do the "ban order", so what's impossible to "buy a box office"?

Donn specifically consulted Michael Orwitz.

Michael Orwitz was in Manhattan, New York at this time, using Dunn’s $100 million investment, negotiating with Merrill Lynch, to fool Wall Street’s capital into a platter investment project.

After hearing Donn's confusion, Michael Orwitz laughed, "Donn, that's Eisner, the big boss of Disney, you underestimate him too much!"

Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with underestimating it?"

Michael Orwitz said: "Donn, Eisner is the chairman of Disney's board of directors, but that does not mean that he is Disney! If his personal image seriously affects Disney's interests, the shareholders' meeting will definitely remove him from his position."

Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart began to beat violently.

Michael Orwitz said slowly: "Some time ago, Tom Cruise bought the box office of "Mission Impossible 2" for $5 million, and the result was well known and became a laughing stock. With such a lesson in the past, Michael Eisner would not make such a choice even if he had a head in his head. Don't ignore the power of the media!"

"The reason why he dared to break the industry rules and issued a ban on Tang En Pictures was because he only promoted it in a small area and cleverly and reasonably avoided the media. This is equivalent to he clearly doing bad things but not being able to hold on to his handle. If he really dared to suppress his competitors by buying box offices, his personal image would be completely ruined."

"You should also know that Tom Cruise is so worried now that the bad impact of the 'buy box office' incident has affected the entire series of Mission: Impossible. Although "Mission: Impossible 2" is the only hot-selling blockbuster in this year for "Spider-Man", if this series wants to restart, it will take at least another 5 years!"

Don't listened carefully to Michael Orwitz's words, he was still thinking about the thought that had just come to his mind.

Michael Eisner...is the chairman of Disney, and the CEO is true, but behind him is the Disney shareholders' meeting!

If Michael Eisner's image is damaged and Disney is implicated, then his almost emperor-like power at Disney will be deprived of it by the shareholders' meeting!

A bold and extremely anticipated thought suddenly appeared in Tang En's heart—

After Vivendi Group suffered huge losses, Tang En will definitely take action and acquire Universal Pictures, which has little financial problems.

With his current fame and influence, he can easily raise funds from Wall Street and complete the acquisition. He doesn't even need to raise a penny. The funds he has in his hands are enough to acquire Universal Pictures.

The problem before him is that Tang En Pictures has insufficient influence and is not qualified to acquire Universal Pictures!

Now, Hollywood and even the entire North America have seen that the competition between Donnie Pictures and Disney has become more open and fierce.

If Don't En Pictures wins this competition, and Don't En successfully brings down Michael Eisner with his own strength and let Disney's shareholders' meeting remove him from his position, then who dares to question Tang En's ability?

Tang En did what even the three giants of DreamWorks can’t do!

Once Tangen Pictures settles Disney, it will be a nuclear bomb that will explode and the radiation will spread to the entire Hollywood. At that time... Will Universal Pictures still have a reason to reject Tangen Pictures' acquisition invitation?

I'm afraid that the senior executives and shareholders of Universal Pictures can't wait to hope that Tang En will take action to help Universal get through the predicament?

Tang En took a deep breath, his eyes firm.

Before this, Bill McNick, West Cotton and others had given him some advice and proposed ways to quickly increase his influence.

But Tang En always felt that it was too slow, and even if he did it, he did not fully recognize the core level of Hollywood that I could get.

However, it is different from Disney's open competition, which is a consideration of comprehensive strength!

Michael Eisner, a big figure who has been in Hollywood for twenty years and has been a legend in Hollywood.

If Don Eisner can kill Michael Eisner with one move, then he will not be the role of a famous director, but a real big shot!

Whether it is a director or an actor, they are all chess pieces on the Hollywood board.

If Donn can defeat Michael Eisner, it will be the transition from chess piece to chess player!

This is the portrayal of true power!

Tang En's heart was bright, and he seemed to have seen the direction of his progress.

...

On Friday, August 25, Disney's crime comedy "The Foxes and Dogs" was officially released. The movie started painting in 1,510 theaters, accounting for 23.7%, which is worse than "The Beauty Cheerleader" and "The Art of War" released at the same time.

It can be particularly seen that theaters are not optimistic about this movie, which is only 88 minutes long.

On the first day of its release, "Beautiful Girls Cheerleaders" had a box office of 6.23 million US dollars, and "The Art of War" also had a box office of more than 4 million US dollars. "The Fox Dog Party" only had $1.03 million, lagging behind old films such as "Space Cowboy", "Invasion of Brain Cells", "The King of Comedy", "Shocking Scream", "The Soul-Edit Girl", "The Ten-Total Big Boy", etc., and only ranked 9th on the list.

On the first release day just, the "Fox Dog Party", which has an investment cost of US$35 million and a promotion and distribution fee of US$8 million, has already announced the loss of money!

Seeing this result, Joe Ruth, chairman of Disney Production, touched the cold sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of gratitude.

Fortunately, he didn't make any promises to Michael Eisner at the beginning, otherwise it would be really miserable.

It's just really strange, Tang En...Is he really magical?

The art film "The Soul-Evering Girl" can actually earn a considerable box office revenue?

Three days later, the box office results of that week were released.

Global's new film "Beautiful Girls Cheerleaders" has made the box office champion with a box office revenue of US$17.36 million!

The runner-up is Warner's new film "The Art of War", which has a box office of $10.4 million.

The third place is "The Soul-Evering Girl", which has a box office revenue of US$9.4 million. Including the box office revenue of US$15.8 million in the first week, the total box office in North America has exceeded US$24 million.

The goal of $50 million in North America's box office seems not difficult to achieve.

In comparison, Disney's movie "The Fox and Dogs" was full of tears, and the box office in the first weekend was only a pitiful $4 million!

After films such as "Sixty Seconds", "Shocking Scream", and "Girls Club" were crushed by the box office of Don't Pictures, Disney's new film "The Fox and Dogs" did not escape the same fate.

And it is even more miserable. If the previous movies were crushed by the commercial giant "Spider-Man" and had some thin faces, then "The Fox and Dog Party" was slapped in the box office of an art film, it would be a real slap in the face.

Disney movies are really sad, miserable, and sad!
