Hollywood starts with animation

March 31.

The long-planned movie "The Matrix", under the full operation of Warner Bros. Pictures and the strong announcement of its parent company Time Warner, has appeared on the big North American screens, with the number of openings reaching 3,200 theaters.

It is the film with the largest number of cinemas since January 1999.

According to insiders at Warner, Warner has prepared a full US$50 million in publicity funds for The Matrix.This amount is definitely not low.

Of course, "The Matrix" is also worthy of Warner's investment.

On the day of its premiere, "The Matrix" achieved a box office record of 21 million U.S. dollars; the box office reached 54 million U.S. dollars in the first three days of the weekend, ranking first in the box office rankings this weekend.

The reputation is surprisingly good!

On mainstream scoring sites such as IMDB, "The Matrix" has a score of 9 or more, which is regarded as a rare science fiction movie.

I love shrimp: "The best science fiction movie in the past ten years, there is no one!"

Freud: "One word is good, very good! Who would dare to say that "The Matrix" is not good-looking, I drew him with a big mouth."

Xiao Ma: "I just came out of the theater, and I am still very excited. I heard that "The Matrix" is a trilogy plan. Now I am looking forward to two or three movies."

Black cloak: "Neo is awesome!!!"

Big shot Fran: "I firmly believe that even if you watch "The Matrix" 20 years later, it is still a very exciting science fiction movie."

There are countless movie fans on major rating websites and the official website of The Matrix, discussing movies frantically.

The box office potential of The Matrix is ​​amazing!

Warner Bros. Pictures.

Vice President Barry Meyer personally gave instructions: "I don't care if you use the above method, I want the entire United States to have only one voice in the near future, and that is "The Matrix"!"

"Yes!"

Everyone at Warner nodded immediately.

When Warner Bros. Pictures President Kiola was not far from retirement, everyone knew that Barry Meyer, as the vice president, would have a high probability. Under this circumstance, no one dared to do anything wrong.Well, to be precise, it's too late to fawn.

"Mr. Meyer, when our media department is promoting, can we attack other movies of the same period?"

At this time, a media director raised a question.

"Uh?"

Barry Meyer was really taken aback.

"While promoting our own movies, we are always attacking other movies in the same period. Isn't this our usual operation? What are your concerns. Besides, apart from the other five Hollywood big six, we don't have to worry!"

Barry Meyer’s words revealed strong self-confidence.

"But...Wald Pictures' upcoming new film "Sparta"?" the media director said in a deep voice.

New movie from Wald Pictures?

You know, before the release of "Spartan 300 Warriors", there are only less than 4 days left, and it belongs to the ranks of competitors.

The head of the media department said again: "Sir, we fought a battle with "A Letter in a Bottle" movie and Wald's "My Grand Greek Wedding" about a month and a half ago. Now if we rashly start the battle again, who can guarantee the United States? Will there be another intervention online?"

"..."

Involving the struggle between the two major media giants, all Warner executives present hesitated.

Even a big man like Barry Mayer dare not talk about war lightly.

"I want to report the issue of Wald Pictures to the chairman. Don't touch him for the time being. The other movies at the same time, as usual!" Barry Meyer thought.

"Yes, sir."

It didn't take long.

The news reached the ears of Time Warner Chairman Steve Ross.

boom!!!

Ross laughed and patted the desktop, and ordered: "Fuck it! We are Time Warner Group, the world's largest media giant. He is far from Zhuke Wald. I am afraid of him?!"

Barry Meyer immediately understood.

However, there is another message that Rose veiled to Meyer.

The degree of confrontation is controlled within a reasonable range.

To be honest, Rao, as a tycoon-level figure, also had to consider AOL's influence. After all, when the two sides went to war, the other shareholders of the Warner Board of Directors were the first to not agree.

.......

Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group.

Chairman Zhu Ke, CEO Victor, Ms. Donna, President of the TV Group, Domino, the head of the music company, Old Bill, the President of Wald Pictures, and Kevin Fitch, the Vice President, gathered together.

"Everyone, the purpose of bringing everyone together today, I must have guesses."

Zhuke glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Yes! It is to announce "300 Spartan Warriors" with all his strength to respond to Warner Group's "The Matrix"!"

Suddenly, Victor and others who were present were shocked.

Zhu Ke solemnly said: "Warner is indeed powerful and incomparable, but we are not a vegetarian. We have had AOL's participation in the last time. This time in the media contest, Warner is bound to have some control and absolutely dare not play Yin. Yes. Therefore, we are not without the chance to win!"

The voice fell.

CEO Victor nodded: "Boss is right. As long as Warner doesn't play yin, we have a chance to win. "The Matrix" is excellent, but our "Spartan 300" is also extremely good. Putting aside other things, this time we will use the movie to speak!"

"understood!"

Ms. Tang Na said: “UPN TV Network and WB TV Network under our TV Group will fully cooperate with the promotion of "Sparta".

Domino echoed: "My music company must cooperate fully here. You must know that the theme song and episode of "Sparta" are all responsible for our Eminem, Beyoncé, Britney and others. Cooperate with the promotion. We are duty-bound."

Zhu Ke's clear attitude has been unanimously supported by the senior management of the group!

Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, which has subsidiaries of TV, film, animation, toys, peripherals, book publishing, sporting goods, etc., is an emerging media company.Although it has not been established for a long time, its strength cannot be underestimated.Even if they are not as powerful as Warner, Columbia, Paramount and other media groups, no cat or dog can be bullied.

What about big companies?

If you dare to come up, I dare to smash your steel teeth!

In addition, in addition to the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Zhu Ke also owns many companies such as LinkedIn, California Standard Bank, and is also a shareholder of first-tier giants such as Apple, Yahoo, and Amazon.

Zhuke is not afraid of Time Warner at all!

This time the second competition between the two companies on publicity matters is not a low-cost romance movie, but a proper high-cost movie.

"Spartan 300 Warriors", production cost 60 million US dollars;

"The Matrix", the production cost of 63 million US dollars;

The production cost of these two films is not more than 100 million yuan. They do not belong to Hollywood's first-line commercial production films, but they are definitely top-produced films. This can be seen from the publicity costs prepared by the two companies.

The next day, early morning.

After seeing the overwhelming media news, other Hollywood film companies all shook their heads, and it was clear that it was Warner and Wald Pictures, once again!

"It's really painful for gods to fight." Xie Yi, the owner of New Line Pictures, was upset.

"" The second update is sent.
