Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Michael Eisner's departure had no impact on Martin.

Roy Disney and Robert Iger were also close to him.

Especially Robert Eagle.

As soon as Michael Eisner left, he immediately invited Martin to have dinner with him, targeting the voting rights of Martin's shares.

"Sorry, Robert, the vote can't be given to you, and I need to have a proxy on the Disney board, just Drew!"

"Of course, Drew is also the CEO of Meyers Films, so she will basically not interfere in your decision-making. As long as it does not affect my interests, she will always be on your side."

Martin is not a fool.

The original decision to hand over the voting rights to Michael Eisner was just a temporary measure to obtain shares. Martin would not let go of the opportunity to gain a say in a giant like Disney. At Warner, Martin did the same thing, but the agent was Ivanka.~

…………

The time has come for September.

The lively North American summer vacation is over.

This summer vacation, in addition to the huge sales of"The Devil Wears Prada", there will also be"Mission: Impossible 3"》、《Pirates of the Caribbean 3》、《fast and furious 3》、《"X-Men 3" has several box office hits.

What’s interesting is that these are all sequel movies, and they are all third episodes.

In addition, there is also"Cars"》、《Family-friendly cartoons like"Don't Mess With the Ants" are also box office surprises.

But wherever there is success, there is also frustration.

Another ambitious work from Warner Bros. following"The New Batman"——《"Superman Returns" failed both at the box office and critically.

The movie was released on the last day of June.

Warner's promotional expenses alone exceeded 80 million. Including production costs, the total investment in this movie exceeded 270 million, which is even less than the new Batman trilogy combined.

Yes, Superman returns.

It's just that this time Superman has a new face, becoming Brandon Routh, but he still dresses up in the classic look of the previous Superman, Christopher Reeve, with a red cape, red underwear and blue tights.

The story is not complicated at all. It tells the story of Superman, who has mysteriously disappeared for many years, returning to the earth. In order to save the earth that will be swallowed by the flood, Superman runs around and flies around.

However, this time there were many disasters.

Over here, the old rival wants to kill him all the time.

On the other side, facing the danger of his girlfriend changing her heart, Superman encountered unprecedented difficulties...

Of course, in the end, Superman overcame all difficulties and saved the earth, adding to the heroic chapter of Superman's legend.

However, although Superman won in the movie, outside of the movie, Superman was completely defeated.

An investment of 270 million only brought back a global box office of 390 million. If you look at it clearly, it’s the whole world. You’re going to lose your bottoms!

In the words of the media, this is: If you are looking forward to this blockbuster very much, then you should see a doctor, because maybe your brain is already messed up.

And on the Internet, there was even more criticism

"To be honest, I was really looking forward to the movie before it came out, but I was disappointed after watching it. The film also adds a dark style like the new Batman, but it always gives people a nondescript feeling. Perhaps Bryan Singer imitated it too hard. He forgot that Superman is not Batman. Batman is an ordinary human being. Superman is an alien!"

"I agree with what was said above. In this movie, I couldn't see the strength of Superman as Superman at all. His extremely weak fighting power made me almost think I was on the wrong set. If you want to see a real"super fight" in the movie? Sorry, it doesn't exist - unless you are willing to regard that tortoise punching a human punch bag as a super battle. When I saw Superman kneeling on the ground being abused by the villain, maybe the director wanted to be a little sensational, but I'm sorry, I only saw ridiculousness."

"Marde, this movie wasted my feelings. I had high expectations before, but now I am so disappointed. Even if it can't be as exciting as the final battle between Superman and Zod in MOS, which destroys the world with fists and fists, you can't put the battle in the same place. Let's make it look like gangsters fighting, bad review!"

Warner headquarters is holding an emergency meeting

"Someone has to be responsible."Alan Horn slapped the table angrily.

《The failure of"Superman Returns" earned him fierce criticism from the board of directors.

If he hadn't brought many good projects to Warner over the years, he might not even be able to keep his position as president.

His anger also needs to be poured out.

Chris Lee, the producer of Warner Productions, turned pale.

Director Bryan Singer lowered his head and said nothing.

When he filmed"X-Men 1 and 2", he achieved unexpected and huge success, allowing him to leap from a little-known director to a hot commercial director in Hollywood.

Then I was spotted by Warner Bros., and hired me with a high salary to film"Superman Returns" for Warner Bros.

Bryan Singer originally wanted to take a step further with"Superman Returns", but unexpectedly he fell into the abyss. The halo brought by"X-Police" was basically consumed.

Alan Horn continued:"Martin had doubts about this project at the beginning. What did I say at the time? Be cautious! But are you cautious?"

"Chris Lee, you were the one who patted your chest and said that this project would be successful." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Bryan Singer, you originally recommended Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris (the screenwriter of"Superman Returns"). At that time, Martin read the script and said it would be better to overhaul it. It was you who stood with Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris and insisted that the script could be"

"Martin also said that your directing style may not be suitable for the Superman series. It's funny that I supported you at the time."

Speaking of this, Alan Horn also regretted a lot. Why did he lose his mind in the first place? He was actually bewitched by these two bastards, Chris Lee and Bryan Singer. He forgot that Martin's vision never missed him. Damn it!

Thinking of this, Alan Horn gritted his teeth and said:"Chris Lee, you can pack your things and leave.

Then he looked at Bryan Singer and said,"Bryan, your cooperation with Warner ends here!""

Chris Lee and Bryan Singer left sadly.

Alan Horn said to his assistant:"Roses, call Martin immediately and ask him what he thinks of the Superman series and whether there is room for salvation."

When Martin received the call, he was surprised.

His original evaluation of the"Superman Returns" project was not at face value, and he made some suggestions based on what he remembered.

But Alan Horn didn't listen, and he didn't take it to heart. on, and then forgot about it.

Didn’t expect that Alan Horn still wanted to save the Superman series?

Martin touched his chin,"Superman Returns" is definitely not saved, but should"Superman: Man of Steel" be released in advance? How about getting it out in advance?

Martin hesitated on the phone and finally made no decision.
