Heads Up Hollywood

On August 21, "Blade Runner" was quietly released in North America.

The budget of this movie was overrun, it was a superhero movie, and the release schedule encountered strong rivals again. New Line Pictures was once again disappointed, and even the publicity budget was pitifully small.

Over the years, New Line Films has released a superhero movie every year, and the response is... poor.

The high-level meetings of New Line Films expressed their dislike for this movie.

Even "Blade Warrior" is likely to be the best-looking superhero movie made in Hollywood in recent years.

See what My Big Fat Greek Wedding is promoting?

Warm your heart with warmth and romance!

Steve Spielberg's movie is so popular that most fans who love movies have seen it. The cruel war scene made the people of North America, who have been in a stable and stable situation, see the cruelty and cruelty of war for the first time. bloody.

It can't be advocated that North American movie fans will be shocked again, watch "Blade Runner", right?

Politically incorrect!

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a trend, and it is conceivable that in the future summer, at the end of August, more warm and full-bodied movies will be released at this time.

"Blade Warrior" opened in 2,322 theaters, with a box office of 15.2 million US dollars in the first weekend!

And what about Twain's movie?

On Thursday, it made $9.8 million in advance, on Friday, it made $10.3 million, on Saturday, it made $13.5 million, on Sunday, it made $11.8 million, and the box office in the first week... $45.4 million!

It surpassed the US$44 million first-week box office of "Godzilla" and US$41 million of "Clash of Heaven and Earth", and once again won the North American box office!

Who would have thought that a niche romance film with an investment of 15 million US dollars would be the brightest star of this summer?

...

"Blade Runner" is the second-ranked movie at the weekly box office, but there is a huge conflict between its market positioning and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

At the end of the summer vacation, it is the last chance for families and couples to have fun. However, the characters who decide to watch movies, the father in the family, and the woman in the couple, naturally set their sights on "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "Blade's Edge" "Warrior" must become a foil.

It is conceivable that this situation will intensify in the coming week.

"Last summer, "Titanic" with an investment of US$160 million made people crazy; this year, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with an investment of US$15 million also performed well. Dawn Walker, a young, amazing , a talented director, conquered the entire North America with two films!"

The promotion of the Yahoo Entertainment Edition made Dunn Walker's name directly on the top of Yahoo's hot search list.

At this time, Tang En Pictures also welcomed an unexpected guest.

It's a big shot, Eli Emanuel.

One of the leaders of CAA back then, a colleague of Brian Lord, left in the 1995 CAA accident and founded Endeavor, an elite brokerage company.

Tang En immediately understood the purpose of the other party's visit.

"Sorry, Mr. Emanuel, I have signed with CAA."

Tang En got straight to the point, and there was no need to be hypocritical when talking with such a big shot. Tang En did not mention the stakes in this, but the other party also understood.

Eli Emanuel's gentle and watery appearance was simply a replica of Brian Lord. In a trance, Tang En felt that the person sitting opposite was Brian Lord.

"It's okay, it's best if we can cooperate, even if we can't, it won't affect our good relationship, right?" Eli Emanuel smiled slightly, "But I still want to briefly talk about the treatment we can provide, commission 3% commission, take care of all business including investment, acquisition, endorsement, etc., the most important thing is that we will not limit you with a long-term contract. If you are not satisfied, you can terminate the contract at any time."

Tang En smiled and said: "Mr. Emmanuel, I feel your sincerity, but I'm sorry, I have a very happy cooperation with CAA, and I have a very good friendship with Brian."

"Brian?" Avery Emmanuel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That guy still likes to compete with me so much!"

Tang En smiled and said nothing, he didn't want to get involved in these matters.

Eli Emanuel's face turned serious, "I heard...you have plans to acquire Marvel?"

Tang En's heart sank.

Avery Emanuel really still has remnants of power in CAA. Such a confidential matter is usually operated by Brian Lord's core team.

"Don't get me wrong." Avery Emmanuel waved his hand when he saw Tang En's face was ugly, "I don't mean anything else. In fact, when Marvel went bankrupt and reorganized, Avi Arad and others successfully jumped out of the siege of Wall Street and successfully acquired Marvel, I'm the one behind the scenes."

"Oh?" Tang En's face was suddenly surprised, "So, you have a good relationship with Avi Arad and Ike Patem?"

"It's natural." Eli Emanuel smiled lightly.

Twain took a deep breath. Although he and Brian Lord had teamed up to set a net for Marvel, after all, this was behind the scenes. If there was one person who could make a move on the stage, then his chance of success would be even greater.

One more helper, one more hope of success.

Marvel Entertainment, Twain is determined to win!

"What do I need to do?" Tang En's face was serious, he understood that this is the time to pay the benefits, "But it is impossible for me to leave CAA."

Eli Emanuel stretched out two fingers, "It's very simple, two conditions."

"you say."

"My company is responsible for the packaging and operation of the sequel to the series "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."

In the case of Eli Emanuel, with such a small investment and such a high return, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" will definitely start shooting a sequel, which is the norm in Hollywood.

With this series in hand, at least the new company he established has a big business in hand.

However, in Tang En's view, it was a bit ridiculous.

Will My Big Fat Greek Wedding Sequel? If this movie could really make a sequel, he would not have given up 20% of the copyright to Fox Pictures.

His perspective is not Hollywood rules, but the future.

"Okay, what about the second condition?" Tang En remained calm.

"I need a male number one, or a female number one."

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Eli Emanuel smiled slightly, "You can't buy Marvel to publish comics, right?"

Tang En suddenly realized, "You want a role in my superhero movie?"

"That's right, the main character."

Tang En smiled and said, "Avery, it seems that the entire Hollywood is not optimistic about superhero movies."

Eli Emanuel shrugged, "That's true, in fact, I don't think so either."

"Then you are..."

Avery Emmanuel pointed at Tang En, "But I like you!"

Tang En rolled his eyes and spread his hands, "Alright, Avery, you have successfully convinced me."

When Twain acquired Marvel, the first film to be filmed must be "Spider-Man". There is no dispute about this. Tang En has no idea about the male and female lead candidates for that movie, so there will probably be a large-scale audition, right?

The candidate for Spider-Man is very important and cannot be sloppy, but it is not a bad idea to give the candidate for the number one female to Eli Emanuel's Endeavor agency, but it is just a vase.

The two stood up and shook hands, and decided to let the lawyer prepare the contract immediately and sign it in the afternoon.

Tang En suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, I heard that Marvel has invested a lot in "Blade Warrior", and the box office of this movie is not good right now, but we must not let Marvel make the same absurdity as before. Decide."

Eli Emanuel naturally understood the mystery behind "Blade Warrior" and did not reveal it. He shook Tang En's hand heavily and said in a firm tone, "Don't worry, Marvel's superhero, before you complete the acquisition, a No less!"
