Six Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Small Accident

Washington, D.C., Hilton Hotel.

Ronan and a black charcoal head walked out of a living room almost at the same time, and then they shook hands tightly.

"Mr. Anderson, young people with unique insights like you are very rare." Heitantou's words were more out of politeness: "I believe that you will achieve greater achievements in the future."

Ronan also said politely: "I believe you are the same."

The two laughed at the same time.

Heitantou said: "It's a pity that you are going back to Los Angeles today, otherwise I will introduce a few more friends to you."

Ronan smiled and said, "One day you come to Los Angeles, be sure to say hello to me in advance."

Heitantou smiled and showed his big white teeth: "I will definitely contact you when the time comes."

The two of them said a few more polite words, and soon left.

Ronan got into a black Mercedes and told the driver to go straight to Washington Dulles Airport.

Connie, who was next to her, climbed up the baffle and said in a low voice, "The New York side just replied that the real estate tycoon is very happy to meet with us. He said that he will visit Los Angeles this month."

Ronan nodded: "Keep in touch with him."

He was not surprised by this answer. That person is a media expert who claims to rule the country on Twitter. According to Netflix, he is an absolute super active user on Netflix Share.

Maybe after more than ten years, this person may be able to rule the country on Netflix?

While Netflix is ​​preparing for the streaming business, it is also preparing for the listing. The streaming business can be called a money-burning machine, and it is difficult to support Relativity Entertainment alone.

The streaming media business will not be officially launched until the first half of the year, and even if there is cooperation from Goldman Sachs, it will not be until after next year at the earliest.

In contrast, Netflix’s DVD rental and sales business is in full swing, with an average daily shipment volume of 500,000 pieces. If it is not for other new businesses that cost a lot of money, it can achieve a profit of more than 40 million US dollars in the first two quarters of this year. .

With enough content support, Netflix’s business in this area is expanding day by day, eating away a large area of ​​traditional leasers’ territory.

so,

The competition between Netflix and Blockbuster is becoming increasingly fierce, and a decisive battle may even break out at any time.

Ronan has enough confidence in Netflix, because Netflix belongs to the present and the future, and Blockbuster is already in the past tense.

The rapid development of the Internet industry will not only bring about changes in the industry, but will also lead to the reshuffle of many traditional industries.

The box office trend of "Wedding Crashers" is stable. Together with "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" entering the next weekend, it shares the biggest cake in the North American film market this week.

In contrast, some people are frowning.

In the mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Jack Chen asked his agent: "How much does the failure of this film affect me?"

"..." It's hard for the manager to answer.

Jack Chen has a calm attitude and a good mentality, because he knows that failure in Hollywood is not the end, because there is still a vast market behind him to support himself: "Say what you have, don't worry."

The agent could only tell the truth: "Jack, in the short term, it will be difficult for you to receive heavyweight roles in Hollywood."

"Hey..." Jack Chen sighed: "After years of hard work, a movie is completely ruined."

He switched back to Cantonese: "It's really unfair!"

Jack Chen's Hollywood agent was a foreigner, and he couldn't understand the words behind him, so he said, "I suggest that we should endure it for a while, and wait for the negative impact of this box office failure to fade away, before we go for new roles. Moreover, I will urge New Line Cinema will prepare for "Rush Hour 3" as soon as possible, as long as this sequel is successful, the impact of this failure will be nothing."

"Do as you say." Jack Chen was already mentally prepared.

The agent added: "Recently, don't show up in public."

Jack Chen said directly: "I've already booked a plane ticket, and I'll go back to the East next week."

Hollywood has failed, just go back to the east to pick up films, as long as the hometown of the east is well guarded, at least it can remain invincible.

By the way, the script about the intersection of the Qin Dynasty and modern times is good, you can try it, anyway, the appeal over there is leveraged, and the possibility of failure is very small.

At the beginning of a new week, Jack Chen filmed the loss of Hollywood and returned to his home field as an international superstar.

In fact, compared to the Hollywood stars, this is also a kind of luck. After all, no matter how well they hang out outside, there will always be a way out, and the audience there is often very tolerant and nostalgic.

Vin Diesel has no retreat in Hollywood, but his self-confidence has not been hit by the failure of "Star Legend 2".

"The box office champion was won by "Wedding Crashers"? Huh..." Vin Diesel was still full of confidence: "It's just a small accident."

The agent couldn't refute his client, especially a proud star like Vin Diesel, he could only slander him.

"Wedding Crashers" had a box office of US$41.12 million in its first weekend in North America, surpassing the US$34.91 million of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in the following weekend, and it really deserves its title to win the box office championship.

If "Interstellar Legend 2" is only a few million dollars lower than these two films, it is acceptable to say that it is a small accident, but the figure of 11.57 million dollars seems to be a bit too big, right?

Of course, compared to Walt Disney's "Around the World in Eighty Days", "Interstellar Legend 2" can still be seen. After all, the production cost of the former was 110 million U.S. dollars, and the box office in the first weekend was only 7.5 million U.S. dollars. ...

It is estimated that for a long time in the future, Hollywood filmmakers will not dare to easily use the main creators of this film to engage in the creation of first-line commercial productions.

"Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Interstellar Legend 2" are undoubtedly the losers in the large-scale opening films this weekend. "Wedding Crashers" is the biggest winner. into the ranks of the winners.

Vin Diesel looked at the agent who was silent: "Why are you silent?"

The agent smiled and said: "Universal Pictures will postpone the original "Star Legend 3" indefinitely."

Vin Diesel snorted coldly: "Then it's better not to cooperate, don't we still have an invitation from Shahai Entertainment?"

The manager quickly asked, "How should we reply to Shahai Entertainment?"

"How to reply?" Vin Diesel stared at the agent suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you the four conditions last time?"

The agent was a little surprised: "Or those four conditions?"

Vin Diesel asked back: "Why not?"

The agent didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment, he just glanced at Vin Diesel, that expressionless face seemed to have the strength of Tom Hanks, and also seemed to have the arrogance of Tom Cruise .

It's a pity that this person has never studied oriental culture, so he doesn't know that there is another kind of qi in the world, called bastard qi!

Vin Diesel added: "When you contact Shahai Entertainment, tell them by the way that my schedule is very tight and I don't have time to get entangled with them."

The manager could only nod: "Okay, I will communicate with Shahai Entertainment."

The question is, can Shahai Entertainment accept it? If "Interstellar Legend 2" is successful, it will be a box office champion or something, all these conditions can be discussed.

But how can people talk about it now?

Bringing capital into the team, acting as a producer, and deciding the direction of the storyline... These seem to be grabbing the power of the first producer, right?

Vin Diesel waved his hand: "You go, I want to consider how to continue the storyline of "Fast and Furious"."

To a certain extent, Vin Diesel is seriously considering the "Fast and Furious" series of movies. For some reason, he has a faint feeling that this series seems to be very important to him.

To continue the style of racing and action, the audience of pure drag racing is too narrow, and the addition of suitable action scenes is not the same.

To increase the importance of Dominique Toretto in the series and become the absolute protagonist and core, as long as the sequel movie has a good response, I can take advantage of the situation and kidnap the film company, so that they have to sell part of their power and income, so that it is possible to get to the dominance of the series.

In the first "Fast and Furious", he was only one of the two protagonists, or even a supporting actor.

In the second part, he withdrew, and Paul Walker was the absolute leading actor.

It can't be like this, continuing to participate in this series must be the absolute core.

Paul Walker starred in two, he only appeared in one, and can only get enough power to be the absolute protagonist in and out of the movie.

Vin Diesel sat in the office with a very good mentality. He completely threw the failed "Interstellar Legend 2" behind him, and even automatically forgot it, and began to seriously consider the next project he might participate in.

Failure will eventually pass, success lies in the future!

After the agent left, Vin Diesel suddenly had an idea, should he talk to Ronan Anderson directly?

Ronan Anderson is the boss of Relativity Entertainment, and has absolute control over Sand Sea Entertainment. The cooperation with him is completely a strong alliance.

Vin Diesel has the confidence to cooperate.

Let the agent contact Shahai Entertainment first, and then find an opportunity to chat with Ronan Anderson.

The success of "Wedding Crashers" made up for Shahai Entertainment's vacancy in comedy movies, and the "Hangover" project, whose script had already been completed, was logically put on the agenda.

At present, it can only be confirmed that Bradley Cooper is one of the protagonists, and other people need to be recruited.

Then, Wedding Crashers spent its second weekend in North America.

The box office trend was extraordinarily stable. The box office of the second weekend was only 25% lower than that of the first weekend, and it collected another 30.85 million US dollars.

In the face of the newly released four medium-sized films "Happy Terminal", "Crazy Dodgeball", "The Notebook" and "Napoleon the Big Shot", "Wedding Crashers" suffered very little impact and its trend was unusually stable.

This weekend, the most promising movie is undoubtedly Spielberg's new work "Happy Terminal" with Tom Hanks, and the film also has Oscar-winning supporting actress Catherine Zeta-Jones joining.

But the film's opening weekend box office was only $19.055 million.
