Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

DreamWorks Headquarters.

In the conference room.

Smoke billows.

Jeffrey Katzenberg smokes a cigar while listening to Spielberg's self-criticism.

His face was hidden in the smoke, and his expression couldn't be seen.

David Geffen fanned the wafting smoke, and first complained to Jeffrey Katzenberg,"Can't you go out and smoke?"

Then he said to Spielberg:"Now we can only do our best in publicity. To make a fuss, we must make"Minority Report" more popular, and Tom Cruise's promotion must continue. What did he say?"

"His phone number couldn't be reached in the afternoon, so I called his agent, but he hasn't responded to me yet."Spielberg said depressedly.

"Then keep fighting!"Jeffrey Katzenberg said, a little rude in his words.

To be honest, he is a little impatient now. When"943" DreamWorks was founded, everyone had great ambitions and wanted to become a Hollywood"The seventh largest".

But now - haha, if it weren't for the support of his animation department, DreamWorks' stock would have plummeted to an unknown extent - the film department in charge of Spielberg continues to lose money, and David

Geffen's music department is also suffering from the impact of online music sharing- damn, I shouldn't have been so impulsive.

The cracks have already occurred!!!

David Geffen said:"Steve (Spielberg), Tom As for Cruise, you have to continue to push him. He also invested in this movie."

Speaking of this, David Geffen couldn't help but shook his head.

To be honest, he didn't expect that this movie would fail. Steve actually missed it too!

He had a feeling that this failure might lead to a dream. The factory is falling apart.

Jeffrey has been expressing his dissatisfaction, and the profits of his music department have become thinner and thinner. Now even Steve has failed.

Haha!

David Geffen can imagine Jeffrey Katzenberg's resentment. I'm afraid it would be the same if it were him.

Suddenly, David Geffen's heart moved and he said:"Steve, Jeffrey, we have discussed cooperation with Martin before. Can we have in-depth contact with Martin?"

Spielberg also hopes to make another blockbuster film to restore his recent declining reputation. Hearing this, he said:

"I spoke to Martin and he had no objections to it. I took a fancy to Martin's"Ready Player One". This novel is very suitable for adapting movies. No, it should be said that all Martin's works are suitable for adapting movies, but——"

Spielberg thought for a moment before continuing:"But Martin requires Meyers Pictures to be deeply involved in the investment, and he wants at least a 50% share."

"This is a good thing! David Geffen slapped his thigh,"As long as the movies Meyers Films has participated in investing in, it has not lost so far, and every one of them has been a box office hit!""

Jeffrey Katzenberg couldn't help but nodded and said:"Indeed, I think letting Martin participate is a good option. Both Disney and Warner are deeply bound to Martin, why should we push him out? Moreover,"Ready Player One" is Martin's work. If we don't let him participate, we may not get the adaptation rights. Spielberg was relieved when he heard that both partners agreed to let Martin participate in the investment. He was indeed very optimistic about"Ready Player One" and was interested in making it into a movie. He said:"It doesn't matter if Martin participates, Martin Generally, after participating in investment, they will take the initiative to reduce their remuneration. They are not as greedy as Tom Cruise - they want both a share and a high remuneration!"

This is not to blame Tom Cruise. After all, he is not as forward-looking as Martin. He cannot guarantee that the movies he stars in will definitely make money. So a high salary is the guarantee of his income.

…………

Miramax.

Harvey put down the newspaper in his hand and mocked:"Tom Cruise lost again this time. He no longer has the box-office appeal that he used to have. Is this old brat about to expire?"

Haha Vee's relationship with Tom Cruise is now somewhat strained, as Tom Cruise turned down several role offers for him.

Coupled with the original"gay scandal" incident, he also wondered whether it was Tom Cruise's fault.

So seeing Tom Cruise fail, he felt a little gloating.

But after seeing Martin continue to succeed, the gloating mood faded away - damn bastard, why can't this guy lose once.

At this time, Bob knocked on the door and walked in, followed by Quentin Tarantino.

Harvey gathered his emotions and asked:"Quentin, how was the filming of"Kill Bill"?"

Quentin Tarantino said:"The filming went very well and will be completed by the end of the year. However, we really can't ask Martin to come A cameo? His Legolas and Neo are both very beautiful. I like his action scenes, and he is so popular now. Can we borrow it?"

Harvey sighed in his heart, feeling a little regretful. He and Martin are in such trouble, but he will definitely not bow his head.....

"Forget about Martin's guest appearance. His beautiful action scenes are not the result of the action director in Xiangjiang. Just go to Xiangjiang and find a few people to make guest appearances."

Quentin Tarantino also knew about the conflict between Harvey and Martin, but he hoped that the two could reconcile, because he also wanted to cooperate with Martin.

But seeing that there was little hope, he could only nod his head and said:"That's okay, Xiangjiang. The action scenes of Bian actors are indeed better than Hollywood! Well, Japan also has a few good stars, such as Chiba Shinichi"

Just when Tom Cruise was angry, the Big Three of DreamWorks were worried, and Harvey Weinstein was regretful.

Martin has returned to Dominica to continue filming"Pirates of the Caribbean."

The time comes to mid-August.

"The Matrix", which has been in the spotlight for four months, is finally released.

It achieved good box office results of 423 million in North America and 646 million globally. However, the box office of"The Matrix" outside North America was actually lower than that of North America. This exceeded many people's expectations.

《The withdrawal of"The Matrix" did not make other film producers breathe a sigh of relief.

Because"Spider-Man" is still raging in movie box offices around the world.

Unlike"The Matrix","Little Spider"'s box office performance in North America of 3.1 can only be said to be on par with"The Matrix" at best, but globally,"Little Spider"'s box office appeal is much stronger than that of"The Matrix".

Of course, the investment in"Spider-Man" is also higher. The investment in one movie is equivalent to three movies in"The Matrix".

At the same time, the box office performance of"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has also been gratifying.

In terms of global box office appeal,"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" surpasses"Spider-Man". As"Harry Potter" dominates the best-seller lists around the world every year The fan base of the series of novels and"Harry Potter" is so huge!

Even Marvel’s most popular"contestant""——The little spider cannot be compared to it.
