A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings a few times, may lead to a tornado in Texas, USA two weeks later.

No one would believe that a small butterfly can generate such a large amount of energy, but this is science, and this is the most popular explanation of the butterfly effect.

At present, it seems that the impact on the outside world is not that great, but in fact it has affected many people.

Whether it was Wan Ziren or Eric Lomis, a large number of people including the Ellison brother and sister.

Looking out the window, Chen Tian felt a little curious and worried for the first time.

The box office of "Shrek 2" is just the beginning, and Chen Tian doesn't know how much it will change here in the future due to his appearance.

The originally blue sky has become a little depressed at this moment, and clouds seem to be covering it.

"Chen Tian, ​​no matter what the future holds, work hard!" After cheering himself up in his heart, Chen Tian returned to his seat.

In the DreamWorks building, which is not very far from Miramax's headquarters, the world-renowned super director Steven Spielberg couldn't help but shout as he looked at the data displayed on his computer. It would be an excellent news if the reporter saw it.

"We finally didn't fail!" Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief. "Shrek 2" was able to achieve such a first-day box office on weekdays.

Such excellent box office results of "Shrek 2" are conducive to the continued success of DreamWorks. Even if you want to sell, you can rely on the excellent performance of "Shrek 2" to sell better.

DreamWorks, a film and television giant that has been founded for only ten years.

With just a decade of history, today's products cover movies, cartoons, TV shows, home video entertainment, records, books, toys and consumer products.

DreamWorks is developing rapidly, and its ability to grab resources and markets in Hollywood is eye-catching and amazing.

DreamWorks, which only took ten years to get all this, has no foundation and is completely unable to compete with Disney companies that have been around for decades or even hundreds of years.

But it is undeniable that DreamWorks once developed very quickly. However, this rapid development model made them have obvious weaknesses.

DreamWorks, which had an outstanding development prospect at the beginning, is now in a quagmire.

The reason is that DreamWorks wants to achieve outstanding results in every aspect, and there is no focus, which leads to the current situation.

Box office director Steven Spielberg, who is loved by audiences all over the world, looks at his old partner Jeffrey Carsonberg, an animated wizard who once served as executive director of Disney Films, and David Geffen, known as the godfather of American music in the recording industry.

"Geffen, how much does Universal offer to our music department? I know we don't want to split it up, and now I hope Michael Bay can succeed!"

"I understand that Shrek's results are not yet calculated. I hope it will continue to be excellent. Next week, there will be a disaster blockbuster "The Day Afternoon" and then Harry Potter. If the box office is excellent, I estimate that North America should have $300 million and the world will exceed $700 million.

If that happens, our crisis will be much less.”

David Geffen, a veteran musician known as the godfather of American music, was a little helpless. Although he did not want the music department he created to be sold, he now has to sell it, otherwise the operation of other departments of DreamWorks will be a problem.

Especially on Michael Bay's side, the investment in "Escape from the Cloned Island" exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, and the cost of publicity after its release is likely to exceed 1.6 billion in all aspects, which puts huge pressure on DreamWorks.

Once it fails, it is likely to become the last straw that crushes DreamWorks.

"Our animation actually has a very good effect, and I suggest letting it go public independently." Jeffrey Carsonberg once again proposed his own idea. This idea made Spielberg and David Finger very moved.

"Shrek 2" has a hot box office, which will undoubtedly help DreamWorks animation department to go public and gain a lot of money, which will greatly alleviate the pressure on DreamWorks.

While the three DreamWorks giants were discussing the DreamWorks animation department to go public independently, a negotiation team led by David Ellison was preparing urgently.

The negotiation team consists of professional business negotiation elites. Last time they participated in the negotiations with Disney about Miramax, and Ivanka Trump also sent people to participate.

The entire negotiation team will make nearly a week of preparation, from the initial funding source of DreamWorks to the investment and income of each film over the years to all surrounding income and expenditures, the purpose is to lose as little as possible during the negotiation process.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure you're not kidding?" Zhen Zidan couldn't believe his ears, but at this moment it was Chen Tian sitting in front of him.

The expression on Chen Tian's face also told him that Chen Tian was not joking just now.

"I'm not kidding. If I remember correctly, Iron Monkey will be the starring actor, right?"

"Iron Monkey" is a work directed by Tsui Hark in 1996, but North America was not introduced until 2001.

Although this work, which was five years late, is not eye-catching at the box office, can almost be ignored, it has created a brilliant record in the North American rental film market.

This old Hong Kong martial arts film "Iron Monkey", which has not been released in five years, won the honor of being the first place in North American rental films that year. Although it is somewhat indefinite, it is enough to show that this film has the weight of the movie in the hearts of fans.

Donnie Yen is the male lead in "Iron Monkey". Although Donnie Yen has not successfully opened up the North American film market and won an important role, this "Iron Monkey" will undoubtedly make some fans influence Donnie Yen.

"Yes, it's this video that I'm here to come here. Who knows how I live after I come here?" Donnie Yen's smile was a little helpless and self-deprecating.

Chen Tian smiled and shrugged: "Here are several CDs of close combat skills. Maybe it will help you and you should know how I want to showdown."

Donnie Yen took the CD and nodded. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The outside world doesn't know that Chen Tian is going to shoot a pure action movie.

The summer vacation period also became popular with the release of "Shrek 2", with nearly 18 million box office premieres.

"Shrek 2" on Thursday was slightly relieved and only achieved a box office of 1,080,000 yuan.

However, on Friday, "Shrek 2" rose by 20 million yuan compared with Thursday, and the single-day box office reached 30 million yuan. Such a terrifying money-making ability shocked everyone in Hollywood.

However, "Shrek 2" did not stop its crazy pace, and it won 47.6 million yuan on Saturday. This single-day result was higher than the $43.6 million box office of "Spider-Man" premiered on Saturday, making it the highest single-day box office film to date.

"Shrek 2" still had a fierce firepower over the weekend, directly swallowing an incredible box office record of 35 million in the North American market.

The cumulative box office sales of "Monster Shrek 2" in its three-day premiere is also the best result for all films this year's premiere.

At the same time, it left behind the single-week box office record of $124.1 million in the film that premiered on Wednesday in December last year.

"It's so crazy. It's really hard to imagine that it will be so popular. I think it's definitely not enough to acquire the DreamWorks animation department's $600 million." David Ellison said helplessly.

Chen Tian didn't expect that "Shrek 2" has a greater influence than the later "Shrek 2". Although the box office increase is not particularly obvious, the total box office is about 20 million.

But the impact caused is much higher than later generations. According to polls, more than 80% of the audiences of the film said that they would recommend the video to people without hesitation, and 70% of the audience said that they would watch the video again.

Jim Sapp, manager of North American Film Distribution Department of DreamWorks, said excitedly in the face of the media: "No one could have thought that the box office revenue we earned in three days would actually exceed the full box office revenue in the mid-1980s."

Ann Daly, the animation manager of DreamWorks, said directly: "We didn't dare to consider this before today, but now I can tell you that we are considering shooting another sequel."

Almost all of the United States was attracted by the dream factory in its own dilemma. The dream factory, which was doomed to die for a moment, seemed to be revived.

These days, Chen Tian made the final proofreading and revision of the script of "Prison Break".

"Ekali" reached a cooperation agreement with H Bo last week. Chen Tian was only responsible for the script and not filming of the TV series.

Chen Tian will direct "Prison Break" himself. "Prison Break", which is not the final draft, is sent to the NBC TV Department with the help of Nicky Rocco.

If it is passed, "Prison Break" will become the first TV series directed by Chen Tian as director.

However, Chen Tian is currently focusing on the upcoming "The Queen of Prada" and "The Raid" which is in the preparation stage.

Compared with "The Queen of Prada", the plot of "Rail" is simple, the most complicated is action design, followed by computer late-stage technology.

With these two support, the shooting will be much better even though it is not easy.

The promotion of "The Queen of Prada" has basically entered the final stage, and the trailer ranks among the top three in the movie category, second only to "Shrek 2" and the extremely popular "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban".

Following closely behind is the disaster blockbuster "The Day Afternoon", which caused a lot of controversy by the trailer, and next week, the heavyweight "Harry Potter 3" will be launched.

As "The Queen of Wearing Prada" is getting closer and closer, the negotiation group and DreamWorks have also started a long negotiation.

"Justin, someone is looking for you! He is someone we long for!" Eric Lomis pushed open Chen Tian's office door excitedly.

"The people we long for?"
