"…Welcome to the AB TV One Weekly Box Office Express program. In the past Independence Day weekend, "Zorro's Mask" won the box office championship with a first week of $22.52 million, but this week it attracted attention not this film, but "The Matrix" which has been released for nearly two months. ∷,"

"Just this weekend, "The Matrix" earned $5.41 million in 1,455 theaters, with a total box office of $31.03 million in North America, becoming the first film in 1998 to have a box office of over $300 million. The film also broke the situation where no R-rated film in the North American film market could exceed $300 million since 1996. At the same time, "The Matrix" has hope to impact the box office record of $325.79 million in North American R-rated films held by Duke Rosenberg, which is also directed by Duke Rosenberg!

"In addition, judging from the release list released this year, "The Matrix" won the annual championship of North America and the world. The overseas box office of this film is currently as high as US$256.22 million, and the global box office is more than US$550 million."

"After the style of "Save Private Ryan" and "Chicago", Duke Rosenberg's science fiction films returning to the summer season are amazingly powerful. Why is "The Matrix" so popular with audiences? We invited Mr. Robert Eiger, the head of Touchstone Films under Walt Disney, to think everyone will make a more professional interpretation."

"Hello, Mr. Eiger, what do you think is the reason why "The Matrix" is so popular?"

"Why is it a big hit? The super cool action and scene of "The Matrix" is unprecedented. The film deeply discusses the relationship between humans and Internet technology. The mutual influence between the virtual world and human souls is definitely a classic work in science fiction. But in my opinion, the reason why the movie is so popular is thanks to the extraordinary visual effects. Black windbreaker and black sunglasses, slow motion of solidification time. The cool fighting and explosion are extremely ornamental. The exaggerated breaking effect during explosion will violently hit the audience's retina!"

"In addition, the setting of bullet time and explosion time is the biggest highlight of the film, and it will inevitably become the object of imitation of many movies in the future. The era of action movies has been rewritten by director Duke Rosenberg..."

Sitting in front of the TV, Spielberg had no expression on his face. The "Clash of Heaven and Earth" and "The Matrix" produced by him were simply a sharp contrast. This time, DreamWorks joined forces with AA and Duke Rosenberg to compete in a head-on competition completely ended in failure. Although "Clash of Heaven and Earth" was surrounded by multiple parties, after watching the finished films of the two films, even he had to admit that the gap between this masterpiece of DreamWorks and "The Matrix" was too obvious.

Even, saying that both parties are not of the same level of work are placing fig leafs on their faces.

Sighing, Spielberg figured out the most important reason for failure. Hollywood only has one James Cameron, only one Spielberg, and also one Duke Rosenberg!

How can a director like Mimi Laidel compare with Duke Rosenberg?

This competition between DreamWorks has failed. Spielberg is very unwilling to accept that this failure may affect the future of DreamWorks, and perhaps it is time for him to take action himself.

Maybe you can direct a film yourself? In the future, Duke Rosenberg will collide head-on?

Perhaps because he lost too much, this thought suddenly came to Steven Spielberg's mind, and it became stronger and stronger.

"Sir. I have your phone number."

A maid suddenly walked in and reminded him, "Mr. Martin Bob, who was calling aa."

Just when Spielberg heard this name, he felt a little angry, "Tell him, just say I'm already asleep!"

This loser!

Thinking of the projects that the other party had packaged in the past few years, such as "Night Visit to Vampire" and "Brave Heart", they had never really achieved great success. Spielberg felt that he was a fool. Why was he motivated by Martin and Bob? He asked him to package and run "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth"?

He swears that he will never cooperate with Martin and Bob again in the future!

Don’t want to work with Martin Bob, not only Spielberg, but also the signed actor of AA who was packed into "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth".

The sun climbed the horizon and the busy workday had just begun. A young actor with a very likable baby face walked into the office floor of Century City, accompanied by his lawyer and guardian. Because they had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to Martin Bob's office.

"Yili, are you sure you want to do this?"

The middle-aged man asked Babyface, "Mr. Bob made it clear that you wanted you to reject this audition invitation."

"Dad, I've decided!" The baby-faced expression was firm, "Martin Bob is just one of my agents, and I'm less than eighteen years old. According to the terms of the contract, if he restricts me as a minor too much, we have the right to request a change of agents or even terminate the broker contract with AA. Don't forget that that small liquidated damages are nothing to us."

"But get into evil with Martin Bob..."

Seeing that his father was still hesitating, the baby face said very seriously, "Dad, don't you understand yet? The person who sent me an audition invitation is Duke Rosenberg, who is one of the most successful directors on the planet. He personally invited Nicholas Cage, Keanu Reeves, Naomi Watts, Katherine Zeta Jones, Will Smith, Charlize Theron... "

A long list of names jumped out of his mouth, and the baby face said, "Not only did these people become famous with his films, but they also became popular movie stars. Dad, how should we choose between Martin Bob and Duke Rosenberg? Isn't that difficult?"

The lawyer was an old friend of their family and said, "Wood, I think Yili's choice is very correct. This is his best opportunity to expand his acting career!"

The man named Wood nodded, then closed his mouth, followed his son and lawyer, walked into Martin Bob's office, and then met the famous AA's controller in the suite outside.

Both sides politely said, and the baby face cuts directly into the topic, "Mr. Bob, I have always been unable to understand why you made me reject Duke? Rosenberg's invitation? Now Hollywood wants to get his audition invitation to line up from Long Beach to Malibu, why should I give up such a good opportunity?"

Hearing this, Martin Bob's face, which has been not very good recently, became even more gloomy in an instant, "I have a clear plan for your future, and that role is not suitable for you."

His voice was low and sarcastic. If it were a few years ago, not to mention the young baby-faced opposite him, even some second-tier actors would obediently stop talking when they saw him getting angry.

But it's not a few years ago now.

"No, Mr. Bob." Babyface did not wait, and directly retorted, "I think I should fight for this opportunity."

Martin Bob's face was so dark that it could drip into water, "Ilia, are you sure you want to do this?"

Babyface insisted on looking at him. Martin Bob's eyes twitched slightly, forcing his anger to suppress his anger, "You won't attend this audition, I have arranged an actor study class for you..."

"Sorry, Mr. Bob, I won't go."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Baby Face, "I now seriously suspect that you have brought personal grudges into my work contract..."

Babyface completely ignored Martin? Bob's angry face continued, "I asked for the cancellation of the agency contract with you."

"Boy!" Martin Bob's words almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "Elia Wood, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Eliya Wood, with a baby face, turned to look at his lawyer, who nodded to him.

"I'm less than eighteen years old, and I'm protected by the Children's Law." He quickly glanced at his lips, and his disdainful expression flashed. "I understand what you mean, Mr. Bob, but the person who sent me an audition invitation was Duke Rosenberg. No one would be stupid enough to refuse his audition invitation. I know you are very influential and will affect many crews. I don't believe you can influence director Duke Rosenberg!"

He stood up first, "I will pay the penalty as per the penalty, and my lawyer will discuss it with you."

After saying that, Elijah Wood couldn't even look at Martin Bob, and walked out of the office with his father, leaving only the lawyer inside.

Just like all companies, the circulation speed of office gossip within AA is amazing. The news that Elijah Wood was going to forcefully terminate the brokerage contract with Martin Bob quickly spread to every corner of the company because of Duke Rosenberg's audition invitation.

Such a young actor dares to challenge the authority of the AA controller head-on. Anyone knows that after encountering successive failures, especially the North American box office crash in "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth", Martin Bob's authority has fallen to a low point and even lost the trust of his signed actors.

"Elia Wood is just the beginning."

In another office, Ino Martin was in a pretty good mood, and smiled and said to Pat Kingsley who was specially found, "There will be more actors who will question Martin Bob next."

"I have never liked Duke as much as I am now." Pat Kingsley had a faint smile on his face. "Did he do it on purpose?"

"Who knows?" Ino Martin spread his hands and said, "If it were me in Elia Wood's position, I would kick Martin Bob away and choose Duke."

The two joked for a few words, and Ino Martin said seriously, "Our partner system is closely related to the stars under its control. Martin Bob is being abandoned by his own clients. When the next partner conference is over, our opportunity will come!" (To be continued...)
