Heads Up Hollywood

The current MGM company holds the copyrights of more than 2,000 movies, but these are not movies from the golden age of MGM at all, but the movie copyrights of United Artists.

The film copyright of MGM's golden age is now controlled by the company "MGM Library", which is now a subsidiary of Warner.

MGM's existing copyrights are only the films made by MGM after 1986 and the film copyrights of United Artists in the past. But even so, the number of copyrights is twice that of Universal Pictures.

It can be seen how terrible MGM's copyright stock was back then.

Tang En was a bit alarmist, but after a period of contact with Lang Meyer, he knew that Tang En always said some inexplicable "big things", but after a while, it seemed that there was always some truth.

The reputation of the Vivendi Group...it stinks!

"What do you mean?" Long Meyer sat on the sofa, thinking deeply.

Tang En sighed: "In any case, we must prevent problems before they happen. MGM's painful lesson has already reminded us, right?"

Ron Meyer narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Universal is not MGM! In any case, the century-old foundation of Universal Pictures will not collapse in my hands!"

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, "So, Lang, you have to start preparing some preventive measures. If Vivendi really wants to do something, there must be some countermeasures, right?"

"contend?"

Lon Meyer raised his eyebrows and cast a deep glance at Tang En, feeling that he might be trying to sow discord.

Back then, before Tang En made a fortune, he consulted Seagram Group about the possibility of acquiring Universal Pictures.

At that time, the Seagram Group was focused on negotiating mergers and acquisitions with Vivendi, and ignored Twain at all.

However, Tang En's ambition for Universal Pictures was still rumored.

Lon Meyer knew that Twain now held huge sums of money and had great ambitions for Hollywood, so he was very interested in Universal Pictures, a century-old store.

As long as Vivendi is willing to make a move, he will definitely take over.

The point is... Vivendi is also ambitious, and even has a bigger appetite. It wants to open up the European and American continents and form an entire film industry. Even the Canal+USA TV station was merged into Universal Pictures.

Lang Meyer fell silent, pondering Tang En's intentions carefully.

Tang En said angrily: "Mr. Meyer, you are the executive officer of Universal Pictures, and the parent company is Vivendi. You have nothing to do with me. Can I still harm you?"

Lon Meyer smiled at himself and waved his hand, "Little guy, I understand what you mean. After I go back, I will communicate with the management, coordinate all aspects of the relationship, and resolutely refuse the intervention of the French."

Tang En nodded, "It's always right to make more preparations."

Lon Meyer looked at him with a smile, "What about the Marvel heroes?"

Tang En's face turned serious, "Don't worry about this. Marvel is the trump card of Tang En Pictures. I can't take risks. Even if I have conflicts with Disney, there is still Warner World, right?"

Ron Meyer's face darkened slightly.

Tang En smiled and said: "But don't worry, I will not authorize any party in a short time. I can wait. If Universal Pictures can develop stably and sustainably within two or three years, I don't mind letting the heroes of Marvel, It doesn’t matter if you log into Universal Studios, Orlando or Osaka!”

"Is this true?"

Lon Meyer knew Dun En's plan, Marvel's superhero movie, definitely more than one "Spider-Man".

It is conceivable how much influence Marvel's heroes will have in two or three years.

Tang En looked confident, "It's a deal!"

Two or three years is enough!

Unless another reborn person comes, God can't stop Vivendi from dying...

...

Saturday, June 23.

Twentieth Century Fox's new film "Titan A.E." was released grandly under the anticipation of Tom Rothman.

However, it was as if the feathers floated to the sea without even splashing a little water.

To this day, "Spider-Man" is still invincible.

Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

Prior to this, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man's Menace" set a single-day box office record of 33.79 million US dollars, and this weekend, it finally broke!

With a single-day income of 37.98 million US dollars, "Spider-Man" broke the record list again after breaking the box office record in advance!

On that day, the total North American box office revenue was 46.36 million US dollars, and "Spider-Man" exclusively accounted for 81.9%!

So far, "Spider-Man" has received a total of US$93.14 million in the North American box office after one day of advance screening and two days of release.

Because it was released on the weekend and the time is short, it is very difficult to break the box office record of "Star Wars Episode 1" of US$133 million in the first week.

But don't forget, "Spider-Man" is released simultaneously in more than 30 countries around the world!

After the weekend, after getting overseas box office data, the total box office in the first week, let alone 133 million US dollars, even 233 million US dollars, is possible!

On this day, "Sixty Seconds" only got 8.4% of the film schedule. Fortunately, because of the good quality of the film, with the effect of public relations, the negative news about Nicolas Cage decreased, and fans began to choose to watch the film one after another. .

On the same day, "Sixty Seconds" earned a box office of 4.32 million US dollars. In the case of 8.4% of the filming, it gained 9.3% of the box office, which is good news.

In contrast, Brothers in Distress "Titan A.E." was miserable. With a screening rate of 14.5%, it only won a box office of 1.58 million U.S. dollars on the first day of release, losing money to grandma's house!

There is no doubt that it will not take too long. On Sunday, major theaters will adjust their schedules, greatly reducing the screening scale of "Titan A.E.", and giving up the screening hall to "60 Seconds" and "Chicken Run .

As for Spider-Man...no one can move!

...

Now there are four major record companies in the world, EMI, Universal, Sony and Warner.

Tang En introduced Taylor Swift to EMI Records, and studied music with a well-known music teacher and producer John Callant.

He received a text message from little Taylor, the content was very interesting: "Tang En, come and help me, you must come, you must come! If you don't come, I will die!"

That night, Tang En went to little Taylor's house, and Andrea was a little at a loss, but little Taylor was very excited, and ran down from the second floor, sniffing his nose with teary eyes, and pouted his mouth, as if he had been hurt. It's like a big grievance.

Tang En glanced at Andrea, and saw that she was a little bit helpless amidst her annoyance, which made her amused.

Don't think about it, this little girl must have caused trouble again and was punished.

Tang En knelt down in front of her and said with a smile: "What's the matter, who bullied the lovely and brave Miss Swift again?"

"My mother!" Little Taylor glanced at Andrea angrily, wrinkled his little nose and said, "Twain, fire my mother, she is too bad!"

"ah?"

Tang En and Andrea were surprised at the same time.

This little Taylor is too nonsense, right?

Andrea works in the personnel department of Dunn Films. She is very leisurely, and basically belongs to the position of receiving wages and dawdling.

"Why?"

Tang En looked at her amusedly.

Little Taylor tilted his head and said angrily, "She won't let me watch "Spider-Man"!"

"ah?"

Tang En was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Andrea.

Although "Spider-Man" has a PG-13 rating, it doesn't have too many scenes. Except for a few action scenes that are a little hot, which may scare children, everything else is normal.

Andrea gritted her teeth and said, "Taylor, didn't I take you to the theater yesterday? Tell me, why didn't you let me watch the movie?"

Little Taylor felt a little guilty, and tried to calm down, "What's the matter, didn't you just watch a movie by Twain, what's the big deal?"

Tang En said with a grimace, "Taylor, tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Tang En's face was serious, and his biggest backer was also a little angry, little Taylor lowered his head, pouted and said: "I just secretly watched "Titanic" once, and Andrea got angry, don't let me Watch Spider-Man."

Well, even my mother stopped calling.

Tang En and Andrea's attitudes are very consistent, "Titanic" is not "Spiderman"! He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Taylor, you are too nonsense, that movie...is not suitable for your age."

"Why? Such a good movie, why can't children watch it? I've watched it three times, and I was so moved that I cried for a long time each time!" Little Taylor insisted.

"Three times?" Andrea noticed her daughter's slip of the tongue, pointed at Little Taylor, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Tang En frowned.

In his previous life, he liked Taylor Swift's songs very much, as well as her body and face that were no less than an angel supermodel, but she was criticized for her private life of one boyfriend and another boyfriend.

In this life, he was fortunate to have known the young Taylor Swift very early, and of course hoped to make some efforts to change the trajectory of her life.

It's just that little Taylor... seems very disobedient.

"Taylor, the movie "Titanic" has a lot of scenes, it's not suitable for your age to watch." Tang En had no choice but to force himself to persuade him.

Little Taylor blinked his big eyes, tilted his head and asked, "What kind of lens, I think it's all right?"

Tang En said in a deep voice: "There are nude scenes there!"

Little Taylor said disapprovingly: "Is Kate Winslet? I think she is beautiful. Besides, what's the big deal, I'm a girl, and I took a bath with my mother. What haven't you seen?"

"Ahem!"

Tang En blushed and was speechless.

Andrea was also so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground, "Taylor, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's what it is!"

Little Taylor pouted and refused to admit defeat.

Tang En was having a headache. It seemed that it was really difficult to change a person's character. Blocking is worse than sparse, just take one step at a time!

"Forget it, since you want to watch "Spider-Man", then watch it." Tang En waved his hands, stood up, and said to Andrea: "Tomorrow night, I will ask Universal to help arrange a special show. All employees of the company can watch it for free, and when the time comes, you can take Taylor with you."

"Oh yeah!"

Little Taylor cheered excitedly and jumped up.
