Chapter 548: Toby Maguire panicked
"Hollywood starts with animation ( to find the latest chapters!
The next day.
In the morning, 9 o'clock.
Kevin Fitch, the president of Wald Pictures, suddenly received Zucker's instructions and opened a press conference urgently today.
"The company has solemnly decided to postpone the establishment of the "Spider-Man 2" movie!"
As soon as the news came out, the entire entertainment industry was immediately shaken.
Man, this is the movie "Spiderman"!
You should know that when "Spider-Man 1" was released, its box office exceeded $100 million in the first three days of the weekend, setting an amazing historical record.
The North American box office was nearly 400 million U.S. dollars;
The global box office is nearly 900 million U.S. dollars;
The offline DVD and video tape sales and rental markets have also set a series of records.
Nearly a year since the movie was released, Wald Pictures has relied on the power of its parent company, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and has been madly smashing the city in terms of copyright income such as peripheral licensing and TV platform broadcasting.
In less than a year, it has brought at least $450 million in profits for Wald Pictures.
Undoubtedly, "Spider-Man" is a big IP half circle, and it is the copyright that countless film companies covet.
But what about now?
"They didn't even start the "Spider-Man 2" project right away?!"
"Oh my god, what is the film industry in my ears doing?"
"That's right, when the "Spider-Man 1" DVD was on sale a few days ago, Wald Pictures announced that it would start filming "Spider-Man 2".
"Tsk tusk tusk~ It's a shame that Wald Pictures is not a listed company, otherwise its stock price will surely fall by a few points just based on this bouncing move."
Many media reporters at the scene were stunned.
At the same time, they did not understand the mysterious operation of Wald Pictures.
What are you thinking about if you don't make any money?
My colleagues in Hollywood know that as long as "Spider-Man 2" is not too bad, it is bound to make a lot of money. Therefore, they are now very unclear about why Wald Pictures postponed the shooting of Spider-Man 2.
"Not very understanding."
Andre, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Entertainment News, who has always had a good relationship with Wald Pictures, also questioned: "A few days ago, I also received news that Wald Pictures has already dealt with the removal of the actor Toby. Everyone except Maguire’s contract can be seen by discerning people, and the shooting of Spider-Man 2 is imminent."
"But it's postponed now, and it's not on a regular basis..."
"It's not because of Toby Maguire~"
Andre frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was close to the truth.
For a time, endless doubts in everyone's hearts flooded to Kevin Fitch.
Kevin Fitch said: "Don’t be surprised, you guys. I can tell you clearly the reason why the film was postponed and filming started. The script for "Spider-Man 2" has been compiled, and there have been 37 trial drafts, but We are not very satisfied. In order not to disappoint the majority of movie fans, we must do our best to present the best to everyone, so we can only postpone the shooting at the moment."
A reasonable answer.
However, if you ask the media reporters on the scene, will they believe it?
"Let's lie to the ghost, I don't believe a word anyway."
Michele, the Los Angeles correspondent of the New York Post, shook his head disdainfully.
The reporters at the scene questioned them one by one, and Kevin Fitch answered one by one, but... it was absolutely nonsense, there was nothing practical.
Shortly after.
The media reporters who left the press conference published articles one after another.
Who makes "Spider-Man" amazing? !
"The Boston Entertainment News" published an article: "Due to script problems, the production company Wald Pictures announced today that the production of "Spider-Man 2" was postponed."
"The West Coast Youth Daily" posted: "The postponement of "Spider-Man 2" undoubtedly disappoints the majority of movie fans. After all, this means that everyone wants to see it quickly and needs to wait a while."
......
"California Entertainment News", "Los Angeles Entertainment News", "Times" Entertainment Edition and other media newspapers also published articles soon after.
Movie websites and forums related to the United States have also attracted crazy discussions among a large number of movie fans.
However, these are fairly satisfactory reports.
-Conspiracy theory!
In order to gain attention, the vast majority of media have chosen a "conspiracy theory" and "Truth Emperor" perspective to report the news of the postponement of "Spider-Man 2".
After all, the old and beautiful people who "breath the sweet air" just like the taste of conspiracy theories.
"CJ Pioneer Entertainment News" published an article saying: ""Spider-Man 2" stopped filming? Is it because Zhuke Wald has no money and is going to go bankrupt? No! We might as well speculate that Mr. Zhuke Wald is It’s not about selling Wald Pictures under his name. After all, all American citizens know that the film and television project is just a very small existence under the name of Zucker Wald."
Sell Wald Pictures?
Such disabling remarks, logically speaking, not many people will believe it.
But... There are so many low-educated people in the United States, and there are a large number of people who believe Zhu Ke's remarks about selling the company.
When Zhuke knew ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he couldn't help crying and laughing.
The old and beautiful people are indeed "lovely" enough. Many of them are almost incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. Basically, they believe what others say.
One by one is very deceiving.
Well, in other words, they are easily guided by public opinion!
Of course, during the reporting process, some media boldly wrote down the question "whether it is because of the actor Toby Maguire".
"Toby Maguire's open offer of sky-high pay, is it the main reason that "Spider-Man 2" was forced to stop production?"
"Is the signing of the actor contract trilogy just a piece of waste paper, not legally binding at all?"
An article with a taste of conspiracy theory, under the guidance of a caring person, constantly attacked Toby Maguire himself.
Greedy, arrogant, evil...
One by one, the negative names were given to Toby Maguire.
Don't doubt, what the caring person is talking about is Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group!
Zhuke is angry, of course he wants to **** you!
Without the "Spider-Man" series of movies, Zhuke can also develop other movies, "Harry Potter" series, "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Fast and Furious" series...what's the difference?
In a word, without the "Spider-Man" series of movies, Wald Pictures is still the existence of that industry giant;
However, Toby Maguire, who has lost the aura of "Peter Parker", is nothing!
Really, Wald Pictures is a soft persimmon, let it be your choice? !
Under the overwhelming news, Toby Maguire panicked, and his agent Juan Wiggins was also panicked.
After losing the honor of "Spider-Man" and annoyed Zhuke, of course they were terrified.
"" The second update is sent.
