Chapter 774
"When society forces you to the point of desperation, don’t forget that there is another way behind you, and that is crime. Remember, this is not shameful! ——Mayakovsky. On June 2nd, the clown is coming, so stay tuned"
"Martin's new film"Joker" is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2009. Can this rare anti-hero film in Hollywood make a good start for this year's summer season?"
"《"Iron Man 1" has a North American box office of 343 million US dollars and a global box office of 644;"District 9" has a North American box office of 186 million US dollars and a global box office of 301 million US dollars;"Wanted" has a North American box office of 283 million US dollars and a global box office of 435 million US dollars. This is the result that Martin Meyers delivered last year, which is so eye-popping. This year, Martin has only one directorial film to be released, and that is"Joker". This unique film with a villain as the protagonist will win. Success? let us wait and see!"
…………
《The promotion of"Joker" is in full swing
《The filming of"Inception" is also in full swing.
It's late February.
Something big is happening in Hollywood, and it's even overshadowing Oscar news.
Disney offered $4 billion to acquire 68.72% of Marvel's shares.
Martin also knew about Disney's acquisition of Marvel.
To be honest, the best time to actually acquire Marvel has passed.
Around 2000, Marvel's stock price almost hit its lowest point, and now it has increased fifty-fold.
It's a pity that Martin didn't think of it at that time and missed it.
Of course there is profit to be made by acquiring Marvel now, but Martin has a better investment direction-that is, the minerals in West Africa and the oil in the Middle East. From the perspective of the added value brought by the industry and energy industry, this is a better investment than investing in Marvel. A better deal.
And"Disney" is no outsider either.
If Disney acquires Marvel and increases its stock price, its shares will also skyrocket.
Regarding the entertainment industry and his own entertainment career, Martin has always had a very clear positioning-that is, to obtain magic.
Now Martin no longer cares about how much money he can make in this circle. No, it should be said that he does not care about the monetary gains brought by any industry he is involved in.
As we all know, money itself has no value, it is just a weight and measure.
What Martin values is the improvement in magic, power, and status that these industries can bring to him.
Entertainment is responsible for earning his mojo.
The industrial and energy industries brought him power and status.
Making money is just incidental!
…………
Disney's acquisition of Marvel is certainly a big deal in Hollywood.
But precisely because this is such a big deal, it has little impact on most Hollywood practitioners. At most, it just gives them something to talk about.
For example, Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino were chatting about this acquisition.
After experiencing the maids incident, Brad Pitt spent a lot of money and finally passed this level.
His popularity also took a big hit, but luckily he got through it.
He should be grateful to Harvey. If Harvey's (sexual) assault case did not occupy almost all news pages during that period, Blood would have been affected even more.
After experiencing this wave of blows, Brad Pitt lost many opportunities, but this guy did not get depressed.
Because he knows.
North American movie fans are forgetful, and they are more tolerant of male stars'"Xing" scandals.
As long as he takes more roles, makes more movies, and plays more good roles, he will soon be able to escape from the negative quagmire.
"Poisonous insects" like Robert Downey Jr. can make a comeback, so why can't he!
For this reason, he even lowered his salary to two million
"Quentin, let’s talk about our movie."Inglourious Basterds" will also be released in June. Will it be affected by Martin’s"Joker"?"
Quentin Tarantino looked at the haggard man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh when he remembered how energetic this man was. Back then, he and this member of Harvey's"Weinstein Family" both belonged to Harvey, and he was even better than himself. Pete was more senior. Later, Pete and Harvey had accidents one after another, and Harvey even went to jail for it - well, he also played a part in it, which gained Martin's favor.
Regarding Pete's matter, Quin Ding also heard that his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, seemed to have become Martin's woman. It's no wonder that so many bad things happened as soon as he attacked his ex-wife.
In this circle, doing the wrong thing It doesn't matter, messing with the wrong person can be disastrous.
Quentin originally didn't want to use Pitt, but this guy got the support of the female vice president of Universal, which probably took a lot of effort.
And the movie"Inglourious Basterds", Universal is the largest investor, so Quentin had to hold his nose and admit it. For this reason, he even called Martin to inform him in advance.
Alas, I didn't know that Martin would schedule"Joker" in June, and Could this be the reason why he competed in the ring in"Inglourious Basterds"? He was lying on his back, so unlucky! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He shook his head secretly in his heart, and said But he said calmly:"..There is no way, we set the schedule first, and the preliminary publicity has already begun. There is no way to change it at this time, otherwise the early publicity expenses will be wasted.
Then he added:"But you don't have to worry too much. I'm still very confident about this movie. At least it won't lose money. It's just making more or less.""
Seeing Quentin's confidence, Peter's face looked better, and he even had a little delusion:
"Maybe my own movie can beat Martin's movie. I heard that"Joker" is a dark and depressing movie, and the protagonist is a villain. Such a movie should not be suitable for summer movies, right?"
"Peter, you have a good relationship with Maria (the female vice president of Universal). It would be best if you could suggest to her (Qiannuo Zhao) to increase some publicity budget for our movie. It is certain that we will collide with Martin's new movie. Unless she is willing to change the film schedule!"
"I have already asked about rescheduling, but it is impossible. I will mention the announcement fee to her, and there should be no problem with this."
Listening to Brad Pitt's vow, Quentin secretly rolled his eyes and said to himself:"With such confidence, it seems that this guy has taken good care of that old woman Maria. That woman is almost sixty years old. His face is full of wrinkles, and I don’t know how this guy can keep his mouth shut."
Brad Pitt can guess a little bit about Quentin's opinion of him, but he doesn't care at all.
In Hollywood, isn't it normal to lick people to get ahead?!
Didn't Quentin also lick the feet of female investors?!
You What qualifications do you have to look down on me?!
