Chapter 256 The Confrontation Between the Old and New Media Forces

Approaching noon.

The box office data of major movies released in North America for several hours on February 14 has already been in the hands of major movie companies.

This data is sent by the three major theaters, not calculated by a professional statistics company, so there will be errors, but the error range is not too large. It is an important reference for each film company to check the box office. .

Deadline 11:30 am.

North American box office rankings of the day:

First place: "Trust in a Bottle".

Produced by Warner Group, it accounted for 19.3% of the day's film schedule and reported $3.7 million at the box office.It was released for 2 and a half days, with a cumulative North American box office of 15.2 million US dollars;

No. 2: "Dangerous Person".

The film co-produced and distributed by Warner and Paramount, the gunfight action movie starring Mel Gibson, accounted for 11.3% of the day's schedule and reported $3.54 million.

It was released for 9 and a half days, with a total North American box office of 32.5 million US dollars;

No. 3: "Slim Girl".

The film was produced by Miramax Films and has been very popular since it was released. It was only in the morning time today, with a 6% film schedule, and again won 2.17 million US dollars;

No. 4: "My Grand Greek Wedding".

This up-and-coming new film produced by Wald Pictures, with 18.9% of the second-highest film output of the day, only scored 1.78 million US dollars, ranking fourth.

.......

Seeing Wald Pictures’ new film, its box office data only ranked fourth, and many people in the same industry couldn’t help but laugh.

"The second-highest number of films, the fourth-place box office record, or the new film released today?"

"The whole Hollywood said that Zuke Wald was a genius, but now it seems that geniuses have their time in Waterloo. According to current trends, "My Grand Greek Wedding" is over!"

"Well, even if they ask Paramount for help now, it's too late."

Ms. Shirley Lansing, President of Paramount, could not help shaking her head after reading the report.

"Hey~"

The old friend Jordan also sighed: "I have watched the film "My Grand Greek Wedding". It is indeed an excellent film, but who made them end their cooperation with Paramount now. There is no such thing as ours. Support, they are simply vulnerable to Warner's powerful media force."

The Big Six is ​​the Big Six!

Jordan is a veteran who has been in Hollywood for almost 20 years. He knows the strength of big companies too!

Warner Group, one of the six major Hollywood film companies;

The parent company behind it is Time Warner Group, which is the world's largest media group;

Time Warner, with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, under the bombardment of their media power, who dares to conceal its edge?

Even Paramount, one of the six major players, is not as powerful as Time Warner in terms of media power!

[The heroine scandal]

[Male Lead Scandal]

[Director Zach Schneider is also ridden with negative news]

[The script of "My Grand Greek Wedding" was exposed this morning as suspected of plagiarism. Many screenwriters have filed petitions in the Los Angeles District Court.

...

All kinds of negative reports were reported by the media under Time Warner Group.

Does truth matter?

The major Hollywood studios know that these are fake news!

Warner's attack this time is completely capable of suppressing Zucker's Wald Pictures. Through this method, it not only shows the power of Warner Group to the outside world, but can also play a role in killing other small and medium-sized film companies.

In other words, it is an imperative action for Warner Group to suppress Wald Pictures!

"Ha ha!"

"This is the media power of big companies!"

"Man, don't look at Wald Pictures' good films in recent years, but in front of giant companies like Warner, it still has no resistance."

"Movie audiences don't care whether your news is true or false, the three of them become tigers!"

"There are few films that have been plagued by negative news that can achieve high box office."

"Love movies like "My Grand Greek Wedding" that rely on word-of-mouth and long-term screenings will definitely not end once the media is targeted!"

"Wald Pictures, it's over!"

"Zuke Wald, the damn lucky guy, he's set to suffer this loss!"

Many practitioners in Hollywood have been talking in private.

"My Grand Greek Wedding", which has a high volume of 18.9%, is not as good as "Slim Girl", which has only 6% of films and has been released for more than ten days. Do you think there is hope for a counterattack?

Counterattack?

Ha ha!

In the face of the powerful media power of Warner Group, can you take a counterattack?

I can't beat you!

however......

Just when the outside world thought Zhu Ke was defeated, a company appeared in front of the world.

-American Online (AOL)!

As a company that provides dial-up Internet services, AOL not only has a dominant position in dial-up Internet access, but also has a strong rise in the emerging Internet media field!

Every Internet user who dials the Internet is a user of our media power!

Portals, news, finance, sports reports...

These emerging areas of the Internet all show AOL's presence.

If Time Warner Group is the world's largest traditional media company, then AOL is the world's largest emerging Internet media company!

One is tradition;

One is emerging!

It stands to reason that the two companies will not easily initiate a vicious relationship.

but!

With Zhu Ke's participation, AOL brazenly shot Time Warner. The enormous media force supported Zhu Ke, and it supported Zhu Ke's Wald Pictures and new films!

All of a sudden, nearly a hundred media and newspapers appeared in support of "My Grand Greek Wedding".

Actor gossip, NO!

Heroine scandal, NO!

Director Zach’s negative news is purely fictional!

The script is suspected of plagiarism, which is even more nonsense.

At the same time, under the instigation of AOL, many Hollywood filmmakers have voiced their support; not only that, even those critics who have aggressively attacked Zhuke and Wald’s new films in various media and channels. They have also turned their guns around, turning to Time Warner Group and their new film "Message in a Bottle."

""Letter in a Bottle" is such a classic pure love novel, but look at what Warner filmed? Shit!"

——Mila, a well-known film critic.

"I want to apologize. The "My Grand Greek Wedding" that I published in the media before was a film with no sincerity. However, after I watched the film, I have to say that it is the one I have seen since this century. The best love movie."

——Andre Koster, a well-known film critic.

On the eve of the release of "My Grand Greek Wedding", film critic Andre Coster criticized the most fiercely, but after getting a signal from AOL, he did not hesitate to switch his gun.

The morality of the film critics is a piece of cake!

Time Warner Group and AOL, the two old and new media forces, launched a struggle for a film, which really made countless people who eat melons go crazy.

"My Grand Greek Wedding", what kind of movie is it?"

There is no doubt that many people who eat melon are interested.

Ever since, going into the cinema to watch this movie has become a natural thing.

From 3 pm onwards, the attendance rate of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has continued to rise, and many movie audiences have continued to praise it, and the box office has risen accordingly.

"" The second update is sent.The minister continued to open the code.
