Heads Up Hollywood

For Michael Eisner, the toughness and resilience of Tang En Pictures far exceeded his imagination.

At least once the "Assorted Platter Investment Plan" is successful, it will play a vital role in the development of Hollywood as a whole.

As the planner, Tang En will definitely be respected.

Recently, Michael Ovitz has completed the registration of the new company "Legendary Films", and is lobbying among major private equity funds and investment banks in Manhattan, New York, in an attempt to win large sums of money.

If he is really allowed to do it, then Legendary Films will definitely become a shining star in Hollywood, and Hollywood tycoons will try to curry favor with them and try to reach a cooperation with Legendary Films.

This is Tang En's trump card project, and it is also the biggest obstacle for Michael Eisner to suppress Tang En's film industry.

If the platter investment plan fails, everything will be easy to handle. Based on Michael Eisner's understanding of Hollywood giants, he will definitely turn his back on him and punish Tang En Pictures to death.

But once this plan is successful, if they want to sanction Tang En Pictures, even if it is the media giant Disney, they will have to think three points. At least it is impossible to treat Tang En Pictures like Dreamworks.

So Michael Eisner made a decisive move, jumped out of the quagmire decisively, temporarily put aside the dispute with Tang En Pictures, and dragged Mattel into the water.

On the one hand, it relieved the pressure on Disney, and on the other hand, it could continue to target Tang En Pictures.

Mattel Toys, Michael Eisner didn't care at all.

Even if Tang En really had a good hand and fought back against Meitai, even killing Meitai, it had nothing to do with him.

For a big shot, sometimes all it takes is a word, and the younger brother will charge forward.

There's really no need to show up in person every time.

Twain was too difficult to deal with, and Michael Eisner had to calculate the gains and losses of a direct conflict with him.

...

Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a well-known academic district in the United States, home to many top universities in the world, with great influence. The American University Women's Association often holds some speeches, forums or activities here to promote the values ​​and life orientation that women should have.

To put it bluntly, it is to promote women's rights!

"A Beautiful Mind" was filmed in this area, and Tang En was a little absent-minded.

Mattel's remarks made him very upset.

Especially with Disney behind him, he didn't want to let it go.

Always find a way to make some counterattacks.

A recent survey report by the American Association of University Women shows that female college students encounter harassment at school is very common, and about 62% of female students said in the survey that they had been verbally or physically harassed.

To this end, on Sunday, September 17, the Harvard Chapter of the American Association of University Women will hold a forum in Hall 1 of the Academic Report on the third floor of Sociology, and Ms. Gloria Mary Steinen, a well-known feminist expert, will speak out.

When Tang En heard the news, he immediately had an idea, the feminist forum is a good opportunity!

...

On September 15th, Friday, the movie theaters ushered in another wave of new releases.

Eleven films including Warner's new film "Bait", DreamWorks' new film "Almost Famous", Tang En Pictures' new film "Memento", Lionsgate Films' new film "Love Hook You", and Disney's new film "Love and Love" will be held on this day. release.

If "The Girl Who Moved Soul" and Twain's named producer will be affected to boost the box office, then Christopher Nolan's new film "Memory Fragments" will rely entirely on the strength of the film itself. Struggling in.

Memento didn't get much hype, and it had to stand out with its classic Cult style.

Fortunately, the investment in this movie was only 5 million US dollars, Tang En's expectations were not good, and he didn't plan to compete with Warner's "Decoy" and DreamWorks' "Almost Famous" at the box office.

But at least...

In terms of box office data, it must surpass Disney's "Amorous Love", right?

The movie "Amorous Style", with an investment cost of 21 million US dollars, starring Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, is an inspirational musical comedy.

Whether it is in terms of cost, publicity, subject matter, or cast, "Memento" is not an opponent of "Amorous Love".

There is only one magic weapon in Tang En's hands, and that is Christopher Nolan, the director of "Memory Fragments"!

Nuo Shen comes out, who will fight?

"Memory Fragments" has a low investment and a weak lineup, so what?

Twain believed that with the strength of the name "Christopher Nolan" alone, he would definitely be able to kill "All Kinds of Style" in an instant!

Another contest between Disney and Tang En Pictures in the film field is about to begin.

On the same day, the Warner Bros. movie "The Decoy" opened in 2,352 theaters at the same time, and earned a box office of 2.34 million U.S. dollars that day, ranking second only to Universal's crime suspense film "Justice Watchers";

DreamWorks' "Almost Famous" is a very good musical drama film with an investment cost of up to 60 million US dollars! However, the film did not choose to cooperate with Universal, and DreamWorks completed its own distribution.

As a result, it is conceivable that DreamWorks continued to be suppressed. "Almost Famous" only won 131 opening theaters that day. Fortunately, the quality of the film was quite good, and it also received a box office revenue of 1.18 million US dollars, which is really surprising. .

The single-day box office revenue of 1.18 million US dollars is indeed not high, but among the new films released in the same period, "Almost Famous" actually ranked second only to Warner's action film "Decoy".

Even once the film was released, it attracted widespread attention from the media and critics, and it was agreed that this film would shine in the awards season next year.

Next, it was finally the turn of Tang En Pictures' new film "Memory Fragments".

Because the distributor is Universal, this cult film, which is obviously not in line with the market trend than "Almost Famous", won the qualification to open in 427 theaters, and the box office of the day also successfully exceeded 1 million US dollars, reaching 1.09 million US dollars .

Although the box office is not high, considering the cost of the film is only 5 million US dollars, such box office results are enough to make any producer envious.

As for the fourth place, finally ushered in the Disney movie "Amorous Style". The film was released in 581 theaters at the same time, and the box office on the day was only 860,000 US dollars.

Disney's new film was once again overshadowed by Tang En Pictures, and that's not all. In the critic circle, "Memento" received almost unanimous praise, and the box office was good.

And "Thousands of Styles"...has a very bad reputation!

The performance of Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has also been unanimously criticized by the critics.

In particular, the famous film critic David Thomson's comment on "The New Republic" simply stepped on Disney's head and applauded Dunn Films——

""Memento" is not a big production, but the young British director arranged the intricate plot under the calm and sharp lens language, integrating violence, mystery and many other factors. In addition, it also revealed his understanding of life philosophy and psychology. It can be regarded as a masterpiece with an exploratory spirit."

""Amorous Love" is a musical comedy. It is said that the songs in it are all sung by the actors themselves. However, this cannot conceal the fact that this movie is vulgar, bland, old-fashioned, and boring. It is also a musical movie. Compared to DreamWorks' Almost Famous, this movie has nothing to offer."

"When it comes to "Memory Fragments" and "Thousands of Love", we have to mention the production companies behind these two films, Tang En Pictures and Disney. Since this summer, Tang En Pictures and Disney have had a lot of competition in the film field. The result is obvious, and the old studio Disney has lost again."

"From "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" to "Wedding Crashers", to this year's "Spider-Man", "Missing Girl", and "Memory Fragments", we can see that the films produced by Tang En Pictures are not only in terms of word-of-mouth, Still at the box office, it has achieved good results.”

"On the other hand, Disney...maybe Disney has been involved in too many industries and neglected the control of film production. I heard that Disney put all its energy on "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay, but that will only explode Can such a director make such a war movie well? At least Tang En doesn't think so."

"The traditional film model no longer conforms to the trend of the new era. There is no doubt that Twain is the leader of the new era and new films. If Disney does not make changes as soon as possible, it is very likely that it will be caught by the trend of the times. Drowning, this is not alarmist..."
