Heads Up Hollywood

Back in Los Angeles, Twain once again devoted himself to the later work of "The Avengers". At present, the material has been integrated, the initial cut is completed, and the initial dubbing work will be completed before November.

Now the Marvel film industry is in full swing, and Marvel's superhero blockbusters have become a carnival gift for movie fans every year.

The "Avengers", which will be released next year, will be the most important gift.

Warner is obviously still not giving up, and has already released harsh words, will create its own DC universe, and will launch the blockbuster "Justice League"!

He publicly declared that he would select Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman to form the Three Musketeers of the "Justice League".

In the comic circle, DC is still the unshakable boss with many fans. Such a huge fan of comics will be a potential customer of DC fans.

The expectations of the media and the outside world for Warner are very high!

Not to mention anything else, just look at the name, "Justice League" is much more domineering than "Avengers".

Hollywood's expectations for Warner are even greater.

A unique show in Marvel Pictures is really enviable. Several other major film companies are looking forward to the rise of DC Films, not to mention suppressing Marvel, at least they can form a counterweight.

Casualties can only occur when two tigers fight.

Including Paramount, DreamWorks, Columbia Pictures and Lionsgate Films, they have all signed distribution agreements with DC Films to compete with each other, expressing that they will try to stagger the schedule of DC films as much as possible.

This is also impossible.

Tang En's current behavior is much lower-key, and he is not as aggressive as he was in the past few years. It is also determined by status. In the past few years, he did not stand on the top of the mountain, but could only rush left and right to climb desperately. Now that they have climbed to the top of the mountain, naturally there is no need to move around so frantically. The crazier you are, the more likely you are to fall. In many cases, it only takes a light kick on the top of the mountain to kick down the panting opponent who is struggling to climb the mountain.

Because of this reason, Dunn became the common goal of all climbers. For the common purpose, there was naturally a prerequisite for cooperation.

In today's Hollywood, there is no doubt that the top spot is New Universal!

Next, Warner, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Paramount, DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, Private Pictures and others.

It looked peaceful, peaceful.

But an undercurrent is already brewing.

Several major studios have joined forces to attack New Universal.

It's not because New Universal bullied them, but because New Universal made too much money and seized too many film resources, which greatly reduced their room for making money.

Including Disney is also drifting away.

Probably except for 20th Century Fox, all participated in this siege. Murdoch is busy with online media and financial media, and has no extra energy.

In the past two years, Twain was able to reach a consensus with major film companies through the relationship of Legendary Films, using the funds from "Assortment Investment" as an entry point.

Now the environment has changed again. A large number of Hollywood companies that focus on platter investment have emerged. Without Legendary Pictures, there are other companies that can cooperate.

Twain could no longer play the Legendary Pictures card to make threats.

It can be said that the current situation is quite unfavorable to the development of New Universal's film environment.

On this day, George Lucas came to visit the post-production of "The Avengers" to see high-tech and learn the most advanced industry concepts.

It turned out that this was the dubbing stage. Apart from seeing a group of funny recordings of "superheroes" laughing and joking, I didn't appreciate much.

So he simply chatted with Tang En.

Tang En is the director of the movie, and the dubbing work is coordinated by the dubbing assistant director and the dubbing artist, and he just needs to have an overview of the overall situation.

In Hollywood, I am afraid that no one can refuse the invitation of George Lucas.

"Warner is going to have the Justice League, hey! Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The scene is spectacular. You have to do it well, otherwise you may be surpassed." George Lucas He said with a smile.

"Justice League?" Tang En shook his head and sneered, "This is the result of Warner's infighting. The conflict between Barry Mayer and Alan Horn has been sharpened. Do you really think that Barry Mayer is capable of leading DC Films?" Subvert Marvel?"

George Lucas had an inscrutable expression on his face and stopped talking.

How do you say this?

It may or may not work.

He is just a filmmaker, not a senior executive in Hollywood, and he only hears about Warner's internal ways.

Tang En said lightly: "In my opinion, there is only one way for Warner to survive. It is not the Justice League, but the Injustice League. The line of justice has been exhausted by Marvel. It is impossible for DC to make waves in this field. Not even with Superman and Batman!"

"The Injustice?"

"you do not know?"

George Lucas shrugged, "I don't know, I only read Japanese comics. DC comics... including Marvel comics, are too stupid."

Twain said: "The Injustice, that is, Superman has been blackened. In order to ensure world peace, he rules the world with an iron fist. Anyone who dares to destroy the peace will be killed directly. He is a brutal dictator. Batman and other superheroes , and united against Superman, this is the Injustice League."

George Lucas frowned, and glanced at Dunn, "Are you digging a hole for DC? By doing this, aren't you destroying the perfect image of Superman that Warner has worked so hard to build up for decades? And this subject is too heavy , no entertainment."

"Entertainment?" Tang En deeply disapproved, "The entertainment comics have already been played by Marvel, so don't even think about getting involved with DC."

George Lucas smiled, "No wonder you can sit so steadily, you have confidence."

Tang En looked at him with a half-smile, "Old man, is there something in your words?"

George Lucas and Twain had a good relationship, and said softly, "The current Hollywood is encircling and suppressing New Universal. Even if Marvel Pictures is unstoppable, what about Universal Pictures?"

Tang En pondered for a while, and said: "If it's a fair market competition, I'm not afraid of them joining forces to encircle and suppress. Tang En Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Pixar can completely sweep everything and firmly control leading position in the market.”

George Lucas shook his head with a slightly cold expression, "Fair? Hollywood has never been fair!"

yes.

If you can't play fair competition, you must play unfair means!

Coincidentally, at this moment, the little secretary Ella came over with a folder in her arms, glanced at George Lucas, then leaned over and said in a low voice: "The latest news, Universal Pictures' "Broken Men and Women" ", was rated R by the MPAA."

"What?"

Tang En's complexion changed slightly.
