Hollywood legendary director

"Mr. Gibson, many people are questioning your excessive description of the scene of torture. What do you think of it?"

Facing an interview with the TV station under the 20th Century Fox, Mel Gibson said very cooperatively: “Hollywood has always had an unfriendly attitude towards religious subjects, but I am a Catholic. For such a movie, I am I am completely loyal to the actual shooting, and I have dedicated all my sincerity. This is also the spirit that I have always believed in forcing me to complete it. From preparation to shooting, to fighting for release, this is my ten-year history You can deny a painstaking effort, but you cannot question my beliefs."

"So you don't think there is anything wrong with those bloody shots?" the host asked again.

"Nor can you say that, these are things that those people have personally experienced, I just restored it faithfully."

In Mel Gibson’s words, he advertised his firm beliefs and implied that what he was shooting was real, not for the box office miscellaneous goods. The hype about the scandal a few days ago has been enthusiastic enough. It is to whitewash the concept of shooting to the audience.

Next, he gave several examples of literal scene descriptions in the New Testament, to compare with his own movie scenes, to set off the reliability of his words.

It seems that everything he did should not be subject to those "unnecessary" controversies.

Ha ha.

A devout Catholic film about his religious beliefs turned out to be a bloody cultR film, I don’t know if it’s a joke.

But it's okay, you can fool the audience and win sympathy.

Besides, Fox TV is his own.

Well, afterwards, the screen was transferred from the interview site to the studio, and the TV host of the show also gave a timely comment.

"Although the film has been questioned, the filming is really deep and delicate. Perhaps the director Mel Gibson filmed a portrayal of his own heart, a work of his about the "Bible". It is not intended to promote any anti- Still thinking..."

......

Paramount Pictures headquarters, Hollywood.

In the office, Shirley Lansing watched this interview.This is a recording broadcast by Fox TV to audiences across the United States this morning.

Opposite her, Andrew David also expressed his opinion in a timely manner.

"They are quite clever at this step."

"I can think of it long ago, didn't it." Shirley Lansing looked relaxed.

The sudden scandal has revealed their intentions.

"How is the box office of "The Passion" these days?"

"It has been declining before, but now it has stabilized and even has an upward trend."

Shirley Lansing smiled and glanced at Andrew David, "Since they like the excitement so much, let's come too. Inform the marketing department and increase publicity. Just say that "Micro Love" has a gratifying result and word of mouth It’s overwhelming and it’s most suitable for couples to watch. Don’t you like hype? I want to let this momentum become the wind of "Micro Love" and soar."

Why don't you dare to fight with Wang Fried?Shirley Lansing is not at all afraid of Fox's little moves. Such a trick is still inferior in the face of absolute strength and film quality.The words are emboldened and overbearing, "As for the theater line, I personally find them to discuss another film arrangement."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and Andrew David stopped interrupting her work and walked back slowly.

......

In an office of Firefly Pictures, Black Cole was also particularly surprised by what happened during this period.

Originally, he thought that the March screening should be against the same type of "Fifty First Loves", but he didn't expect "The Passion of the Christ" to be so strong, wave after wave of momentum, but it can divert. Some box office of "Micro Love".

Then, it was Paramount who called again and wanted to increase the film's publicity campaign, making it clear that it would not make the opponent feel good.

This time, the two parties seemed to have negotiated, and seemed to be clearing the field?

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between the Big Six.

After all, apart from the profit of "Passion of the Christ", "Micro Love" is not bad, on the contrary, the production of several small-cost productions that had some hope of competition was all silent.

It's not just coincidence or inevitable.

However, the only thing we know is that, no matter what, the whole storm will do no harm to "Micro Love".

"how about it?"

"How about what?"

Lyman and Johnson were sitting in the car.

They are still running propaganda.

"Are Paramount's methods brilliant?"

"Which one has no means to become the Big Six?"

Johnson nodded, agreeing with Lehman's statement.

However, he still euphemistically said: "Cooperating with Warner is what we need to do, but Paramount can't completely break the relationship. Shirley Lansing is still great, and it's not bad for us."

He looked at Lehman, "Although Warner is strong, there are many internal disturbances. Don't lean on either side. Don’t look at everyone’s current trend of wooing, but it’s impossible to hesitate. You will treat it as Warner. Are you like yourself? If there is a conflict..."

The words were not finished, but Lyman understood what Johnson meant.

Just as the original Universal could not only release goodwill, but also smear it without hesitation. For the Big Six, nothing can compare to its own interests.

He is now on guard against Paramount, not necessarily trusting Warner.

In a word, under the wings is to seek asylum.But how to grasp it is not sloppy.

The car is still driving forward.

About a few minutes later, Lehman asked again: "During this time, you help me collect companies that have North American distribution channels. The focus is to investigate clearly the internal financial and equity relationships."

"Why? Want to build your own distribution channel?"

Johnson asked excitedly.

"I have this plan, and relying on others is not an option after all."

Paramount knows that it wants to acquire DreamWorks to make up for the company's production capabilities, and Lehman never thought of having its own distribution channel.

"What is your goal?"

"The offline and theater lines in North America must have well-established personnel and channels. The financials are clear. It is not important to have debts. The equity is simple, and it is best to acquire wholly-owned assets. If not, you must also have a controlling stake."

The words are very clear, and Johnson is also very clear.

"I see, I will ask more about this and help you keep an eye on the right company."

Even if you can't do Lionsgate, it is good to follow the DreamWorks template.

In any case, Lehman is determined to first perfect the production-distribution film company.

In this way, it can be regarded as preliminary above this river, with a gate of its own.
