Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 540: How Crazy Once, The Face Pain Now

DreamWorks Group.

As one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, Spielberg talked to Michael Bay in the office today. No, to be precise, he was comforting his old friend.

"Michael, don't care too much about the box office trend of "Pearl Harbor". In fact, the dozens of minutes of explosion scenes in the film still won the approval of many fans and fans?" Spielberg advised.

Michael Bay smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know, but I still feel unconvinced."

"You mean..." Spielberg frowned.

"Yes!"

Michael Bay said in a deep voice: "I mean the unscrupulous and unlimited media reporters and the film critics who fan the flames everywhere. Before the release of "Pearl Harbor", they all said: Hey, look at him Michael. Bei, besides explosions, explosions, explosions, can he order anything else? Can't play art movies at all!"

"Now, "Pearl Harbor" has been released for almost two weeks."

"They said again: Hey, look at him Michael Bay, he really can only play with explosions, explosions, and explosions. As for the literary and artistic connotation of the tall, he is totally unable to do so."

The voice fell.

Spielberg said coldly: "How many years have you been a director? Don't you know the urination of the media and film critics? Whether it is a commercial film or an art film, if they want to, they have 10,000 kinds of critical the way."

Michael Bay: "..."

Does he really know the urination of the media and film critics?

He is very clear.

However... Michael Bay's directorial career has gone too smoothly!

"Jedi Men", "Brave to Death Island", "Peerless Tribulation"...

Since officially stepping into Hollywood, Michael Bay is completely like a wall hanging in the cloak of God, making a movie and a movie, and the box office is getting higher every time.

The name of the pride of the sky, spread like wildfire!

The word "failure" does not exist in his dictionary at all.

But this time he played it!

Spielberg also analyzed: "In fact, the "Pearl Harbor" movie is not bad, but Wald Pictures' new film "District Nine" was released at the same time as your movie! $30 million low Cost-built science fiction movies broke the box office record of a series of medium-cost movies and completely suppressed your scenery."

Michael Bay suddenly felt bitter.

It's okay not to mention the film "The Ninth District". Once mentioned, even if it is him, Michael Bay can't help but blush.

Everyone in Hollywood doesn't know who doesn't laugh. On the eve of "Pearl Harbor", he attacked "District Nine" more than once.

"The Ninth District is a joke."

"The Ninth District, which cost $30 million in production, is still a science fiction movie. Can it be watched?"

"Undoubtedly, it is a properly bad movie."

"The opponent of "Pearl Harbor" has never been "District Nine" released at the same time, but "Titanic" by James Cameron."

A line of rhetoric is still in my ears.

How arrogant I was, how painful my old face is now...

The director Michael Bay is so, and the starring actors in the film "Pearl Harbor" also have a sore face.

for example:

Actress of the heroine-Kate Beckinsale.

She was extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

Agent: "Kate, you know, although I am one of CAA’s senior partners, I can’t control the will of the entire CAA. Since "Pearl Harbor" failed both in word-of-mouth and box office, your internal rating within the company, Has been reduced from A+ to B."

"At the same time, the major Hollywood film companies have also lowered your rating considerations. As for the loss of endorsements from all parties, it has become a foregone conclusion."

Hearing that, Kate Beckinsale looked ugly at the moment.

Hollywood is a vanity fair, and capital will always chase winners!

The agent added: "From now on, it will be difficult for you to obtain the resources of Class A commercial blockbusters."

"Is there really no room for redemption?"

Kate Beckinsale was very unwilling.She worked so hard for so many years and devoted so much before she won the heroine of the A-class commercial blockbuster "Pearl Harbor".For this reason, less than two months after giving birth to her daughter, she immediately went to work.

However, now the movie has failed.

The producers who used to chase him so enthusiastically are now so cold.

"It's hard."

The agent shook his head and said: "The past means the past. There are really not many people who can turn over. Do you know Milla Jovovich?"

Kate Beckinsale nodded, expressing her knowledge.

(Note: Milla Jovovich is the actor of Alice, the heroine of the "Resident Evil" movie series.)

"In the mid-90s, Mira was already a very famous actress. For this reason, she won the favor of Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element." But, as you know, it hasn't turned around yet." The person said solemnly.

The production cost of the film "The Fifth Element" was US$90 million and the publicity expenditure exceeded US$50 million.At that time, it was the film with the highest investment in Gaomeng Pictures.

But after the movie is released?

There are many negative comments, and the box office is a miserable loss.

For this reason, Gaomeng Pictures almost went bankrupt.

The dignified international director, Luc Besson, who filmed "This Killer Is Not So Cold", had to leave Hollywood and return to Europe;

The heroine of the film, Milla Jovovich, has completely lost her position. It is difficult to get access to movies with an investment cost of more than 20 million U.S. dollars.

Hollywood is so realistic!

Even in the future, Milla starred as the heroine Alice in the "Resident Evil" movie series, and once again became popular, she failed to contact the first-line commercial production of Class A again.

Kate Beckinsale said with a bitter expression, "I see."

The agent comforted: "Think about it for yourself, and I'll look at it for you."

In fact, in the future, Kate Beckinsale’s fate is very similar to Milla Jovovich.Kate Beckinsale later starred in the "Legend of Night" series of movies, once again became popular, and did not have any chance to come into contact with the first-line commercial production of Class A.

Since then, she has completely lost the opportunity to become a first-line actor in Hollywood and can only be reduced to a second-line.

There is a word, the broker did not say.

"Kate Beckinsale, on the eve of the release of the "Pearl Harbor" movie, has repeatedly spoken harshly to the "Ninth District" movie and Zhuke. Does she have a chance to become popular?

...

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Kate Beckinsale, she's done!"

Matt Damon said to his good friend Ben Affleck: "I am pretty sure that Mr. Zucker Wald will take revenge on Kate Beckinsale."

Ben Affleck breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise, I guess I will be settled by the Autumn Queen now."

During the promotion of "Pearl Harbor", Kate Beckinsale made many utterances, but Affleck, as the leading actor, remembered the advice of his friends and was always able to maintain rationality and restraint, and never published any attack on Zhuke himself. Remarks.

Matt Damon sneered: "In Hollywood, we can be arrogant, but we have to score people. We must not offend a person of the status of Mr. Zucker Wald, and we must not offend it at all."

Ben Affleck nodded, his emotional intelligence is not low.

"" The first update is sent.
