Chapter 827 Can Individuals Really Change the World?
Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills, like Burbank, the capital of media, is a well-known entertainment industry center in the world. In addition to CAA, an innovative artist company that accounts for half of Hollywood, the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox is also located here. (
The night had already fallen, and the starlight was blocked out of the window by the harsh lights in the office. In front of the luxurious desk, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other. One of them was silent, and the other was talking on the phone, occasionally He will also nod in agreement, even on the phone, he still maintains enough respect for the person on the other end of the phone.
The caller was none other than Twentieth Century Fox co-chairman and chief executive Tom Rothman.
A few minutes later, he put down the phone, and the person on the other end immediately asked, Tom, what does Mr. Murdoch mean...
Increase the hype and attack on Avatar. Tom Rothman spoke slowly, but very clearly, Attract the main energy of Ryan Jenkins and Disney to this aspect as much as possible, and we will speed up the cooperation with Luca Lucasfilm's contact, before they react, try to win Lucasfilm.
If he and Disney... The other man was clearly concerned, George Lucas has a relationship with him.
What kind of friendship would play a role in an acquisition of more than three billion dollars? It is impossible for Mr. Rupert Murdoch to see the interests that should belong to 20th Century Fox being taken away by Walt Disney for this series.
He emphasized, Don't forget, more than ten years ago, he took away our X-Men series!
Although Surprise is the copyright to repurchase with real money, even though it was a business of yours at the time, how could the great success of the X-Men series not make people have some other ideas.
Having said that though. But Tom Rothman's face is not good-looking, even too serious. They understand what they are going to do. Twentieth Century Fox is challenging a mountain that covers the entire Hollywood. Even if it is a little careless, it may cause news War between the Group and Walt Disney.
Ryan has never been a person who would voluntarily give up. The person on the other side seemed to be reminding Tom Rothman, and seemed to be reminding himself, We all know what kind of person he is!
We! Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation! Tom Rothman knocked on the table hard, and strengthened his tone, We will never give up the Star Wars series. Although we own part of the copyright, the most profitable periphery is in Lu In the hands of Cassfilm, in the past 30 years, Lucasfilm has created 28 billion US dollars in revenue with peripheral products!
What hidden alliance,
What kind of personal friendship, in front of such a huge number, is just a piece of fragile white paper.
As for Ryan... Tom Rothman thought about it, but still revealed a little bit, The group company and Mr. Rupert Murdoch will formulate corresponding countermeasures. Force him to give up.
This is the best. The person opposite was obviously relieved.
besides!
Tom Rothman emphasized, I will personally form a negotiating team with Lucasfilm, and this matter will be kept as confidential as possible. Don't forget that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are also shareholders of 20th Century Fox. .Although the shares in their hands are limited, it is necessary to prevent someone from leaking information to them.
I understand. The man stood up and walked out of the office.
Tom Rothman sat on a chair, silently watching the other party walk out of his office. His face is still not relaxed, and the media industry in Hollywood and even the United States is likely to start a war without gunpowder, even though he has the full support of News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch. Standing in the dark again, but not sure.
Just because his opponent is called Ryan? Jenkins!
Of course, everyone has weaknesses, and Ryan Jenkins also has a lot of places to attack. He is very aware of this, so he supports the resolution of the head office.
For example, if Avatar really fails as hoped, Ryan Jenkins' status in Disney will definitely be affected, and Disney will also encounter a lot of trouble, so that even if the other party detects it in advance, 20th Century Fox will encounter fewer obstacles Many, maybe the goal of the head office can be easily achieved.
What's more, Twentieth Century Fox's Alwin and Chipmunk 2 was released a week after Avatar. Suitable for ages ten and up, Alwin and Chipmunk 2 is bound to be a hit if it becomes a huge hit.
One can't always be successful, can one? Even if the guys are called Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron!
Sitting quietly on the chair, Tom Rothman did not intend to leave the company. He turned his head and looked out of the window. This window was facing Hollywood in the traditional sense. At this time, the premiere of Avatar Is it already in progress?
News Corporation has secretly instigated so many film critics, hoping to have some bad influence on the film...
Although he thought so in his mind, Tom Rothman still thought deep down that the group company had made a foolish move. The management of the group company was far away from Hollywood and the film industry, and seriously overestimated the declining industry of film critics. The cognition of movies even stayed ten years ago.
This is the biggest difference between News Corporation and Walt Disney. The film and television industry is one of Disney's core industries, but it is only an important part of News Corporation.
if……
Tom Rothman was suddenly a little scared, but also a little excited, if the two major media groups could match up...
He had no doubts about this. Ryan Jenkins' character determined that he would never voluntarily back down.
Standing up and walking to the window, Tom Rothman looked into the distance. There was the Kodak Theater, where Avatar premiered.
There are huge crowds of people in front of the Kodak Theater. The scale and excitement of the premiere is no less than that of the Oscar Awards Ceremony. Hundreds of well-known Hollywood figures have entered the theater one after another. It seems that just like ordinary audiences, Hollywood stars also want to participate as soon as possible. Watch this first ever masterpiece.
Can one person really change the whole world? At least from James Cameron, the answer we got is yes.
In the interview area, Ryan and James Cameron were standing together, Because this Avatar will upgrade the entire industry to an unprecedented height!
He and James Cameron are like partners who have worked together for many years, trying to promote this film, and they are not worried that they will become a laughing stock in the end. The quality of the film is the source of confidence.
Although Avatar was strangely bombarded by film critics during the period before its release, it did not have too much negative impact on the publicity. After all, that group has indeed declined.
Even if he had some guesses in his heart, Ryan didn't care too much, the voices of movie fans were much louder than movie critics.
Many, many movie fans spontaneously expressed their grievances for Avatar on traditional media and the Internet.
Looking back at Cameron's filming history, starting from The Abyss, to Terminator 2, and then to Titanic, the investment amount of blockbuster films has repeatedly been refreshed. Box office fiasco and all that.
The most typical is Titanic. At that time, film critics said that Ryan and Cameron were the biggest fools in the world. Titanic would be the biggest box office disaster of this century... But after the film was released, these people The collective silence, the film's box office ruthlessly shattered their last bit of face, and it also made people realize that professional film critics are actually nothing.
Everyone knows that Cameron is a money-burning machine, but he has the ability to double the investment money, and even if he puts his own salary into it, he must make the most perfect effect in his mind! Therefore, Movie fans, there is no need to listen to those outdated film critics, just keep faith in Ryan and James Cameron, and wait for the release of Avatar to explode the box office again!
These words that continue to appear in the media fully reflect the aspirations of the broadest movie-watching group towards Avatar.
When they took a group photo in front of the poster, Ryan saw an interesting scene. Susie Amis and Catherine Biroger stood beside Cameron on the left and right, taking a photo with the truck driver without any suspicion.
It’s not uncommon for ex-couples or ex-boyfriends in Hollywood, the circle is so big, especially the top floors, it’s always those people who come and go, and often meet in public.
Ryan was not familiar with Catherine Bilogo, who was in the film industry, so they just nodded at each other, and walked into the theater with the crew.
The main hall of the Kodak Theater has long been transformed into an imax theater by imax company. Imax company has placed more expectations on Avatar, hoping that this super giant production can completely push back the imax3d craze that has spread rapidly around the world after Transformers. to the peak.
Sitting in his seat, Ryan didn't have to wait too long before the film kicked off. Except for minor changes, this film is generally not much different from the one he had seen before. The film is definitely a film technically A huge breakthrough, the story and plot are still thin, which makes people like Ryan who prefer human beings feel helpless.
No matter what meaning James Cameron gave to the Na'vi, in the minds of people like Ryan, being a human is much better than being something else.
As for the picture and technology of the film, it cannot be described in words at all. Even if a thick pile of gorgeous words is piled up, it is not enough to describe the Pandora planet shown in the film.
Having said that, when watching a movie, few people hope that the protagonist will die, after all, that is where he is substituted, but even though Ryan has watched the sample, when he is sitting here watching the male protagonist, he still desperately hopes that he will be killed. The human mechs were killed. (To be continued..)
