One move moves the whole body, which describes that a very small change may affect the overall situation. In Hollywood, major film companies are in conflict, competition, and cooperation with each other. There are no absolute enemies, only absolute interests. Every change in interests may lead to a reshuffle of Hollywood's power structure. But no one can imagine that in the past ten years from the rise to decline, the second "Dream Factory" appeared.

Even DreamWorks, led by the three giants, has not been able to break through the Wall Street blockade, let alone Chaos Pictures, which started from scratch? Some people will definitely wonder why Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures hold on to Lance? Why do the six major film companies all target Chaos Pictures? This sounds unreasonable, and the power balance between the two sides is not at the same level at all.

The problem is exactly here. Chaos Pictures has not yet grown into DreamWorks, but it already has the potential threat of DreamWorks. What Hollywood rulers least want to see is the emergence of the second DreamWorks. What's more, Lance's unscrupulousness has really angered many people. He is like a hatred harvester, and his ability to attract hatred is amazing. Even if it has nothing to do with interests, people are very happy to see Lance lose their defeat. Therefore, the six major film companies have given Chaos Pictures enough attention to it, hoping to kill the threat in the cradle.

So, "one moves the whole body" is an incredible description that appears on Chaos Film, and more accurately, it appears on the work "Raging Road" directed by Lance.

Not only Warner Bros. Barry Meyer, but the senior executives of the six major film companies have noticed the movement of the "Raging Road" - it's not that they are clear-headed, but that the movement is too vigorous and cannot be ignored even if they want to ignore it. However, the performance of the major executives is completely different.

Paramount led by Brad Gray is dormant, silent, as if he doesn't care about this competition at all. However, after Paramount changed his leader, it has been adjusting over the past year. Brad focused on independent low-cost movies. There were no big moves this summer. There were only a few small and medium-sized works such as "Crazy Priest", "Outside the Fence", "Crazy Farm", and "World Trade Center", so Brad's silence was completely expected.

Thomas Rossman and Jim Chianoporus of 20th Century Fox seem to be honest and honest, but they are actually two old foxes. They have been moving frequently during the summer season, but they have never shown much ambitions and have always moved steadily according to the plans of previous years. Now it seems that compared with the summer season, they seem to have invested more combat power in the awards season, and "walking with songs" is highly expected.

Universal Pictures led by Lang Meyer seems to be unrelated to their own affairs. They have always conquered the world with small-cost comedy movies. They have not shown enough competitiveness in the competition for summer blockbusters. Even within the six major film companies, they have always ignored Universal Pictures' combat power. Lang naturally avoided the limelight and focused on developing the college's public relations. Universal Pictures' Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's awards season. They do not want to miss such an advantage.

It seems that these three companies don’t care about the rise of Chaos Pictures at all, as if changes in interests will not affect the plans of these three companies at all. But the interesting thing is that after entering the 21st century, the ranking order of the six major Hollywood film companies has changed. Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and Universal Pictures are representatives of the second half of the ranking. Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox take turns to compete for the position of deputy squad leader.

On the contrary, Warner Bros. and Disney are competing alternately with the leading position. At present, Warner Bros. seems to be slightly better. Sony Pictures caught up after acquiring several companies in large quantities, especially after developing the "Spider-Man" series, and now they are qualified to challenge Warner Bros.

In the matter of setting a date for the "Rampage Road", the companies currently dominating the Hollywood power list and the top three in the box office list have also shown completely different attitudes.

"Superman Return", which was originally scheduled to be released in the first week of June, suddenly began to adjust the schedule, which caught everyone off guard and completely disrupted the summer schedule this year.

As the most popular work this summer, major film companies and theaters are watching the schedule of "Superman Return" and waiting for the schedule of this work to be determined before making corresponding adjustments. Even "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will not want to fight with "Superman Return" head-on, resulting in both losses.

Warner Bros. had watched and watched, waited and finally released the news that it was "scheduled for the first week of June". Although the specific matters were still negotiating with major theaters - Warner Bros. hoped to be released in more than 4,300 theaters, and the venues also needed to reach the highest value, trying to make "Superman Return" the work with the most screened venues in history, and launch a box office battle with a overwhelming attitude, but the basic situation can be determined, and other major companies have also begun to arrange schedules in a intensive manner, but now...

Disney is the first company to make adjustments. They first advanced the schedule of "Car Mobilization" to seize the first week of June; then determined the schedule of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in the last week of June. Since this year's Independence Day is Tuesday, the Independence Day schedule is three days of the last week of June, one Monday is apart, and then the Independence Day holiday. In other words, Disney is preparing to win the top priority of this summer, Independence Day schedule.

Then Sony Pictures also began to plan. In addition to the "Da Vinci Code", Sony Pictures' other works include "Life Remote Control", "Taladega Night", "Monster House", and "Dwarfs" all have medium investments, with all the costs remaining between 6,000 and 75 million, and all of them are comedy. This is also the biggest difference between Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures - the latter's comedy investment is basically below 50 million.

However, although the investments are similar and the subject matter is similar, the schedule arrangement is not without any particularity. For example, the male protagonist of "Life Remote Control" is Adam Sandler, and the actor of "Taladega Night" is Will Ferrell. These two works will inevitably occupy a better schedule, while the other two works must make corresponding compromises.

Therefore, Sony Pictures also needs to carefully consider it.

Before Sony Pictures could discuss a result, Warner Bros. made a suggestion to place the "life remote control" in the first week of July. This proposal was rejected by Sony Pictures. The first week of July was simply a fire pit. The previous week was the Independence Day schedule, and the next week was the "Raging Road". Warner Bros. hoped that Sony Pictures would suppress the momentum of "Raging Road", and then arranged "Superman Return" to be released in the third week of the contract, cutting off the "Raging Road", but Sony Pictures was unwilling to do so.

Sony Pictures has proposed another proposal, with the fire pit in the first week of July being filled by Warner Bros. and Disney, who are willing to launch another comedy movie in the second week of July confronting "Rampage Road" head-on.

On the surface, Sony Pictures sacrificed itself and chose to fight against the "Raging Road", but in fact their abacus was very cunning. Comedy movies are very special. In the summer, thanks to the happy atmosphere of the family, it is not easy to have box office defeats. If you are not careful, there will be a big box office explosion. Therefore, even if they lose to the "Raging Road", they will not suffer much losses. If they turn around, it will be a real victory.

Sony Pictures' abacus Warner Brothers naturally sees it, but it is undeniable that this proposal is very appropriate - if you choose a work with an investment of over 100 million yuan to confront "Rampant Road", then it will be more than worth the loss, and the consequences of failure are likely to be tens of millions of dollars. However, if the entire period is vacated and the "Rampant Road" is the dominant one, it will seem weak again. In comparison, Sony Pictures' comedy movies are indeed the best choice.

So, Warner Bros. and Disney started a conversation over the phone.

Both sides are in a row and are not giving in to each other. Disney knows that Warner Bros. wants to suppress Lance, not only for the measure of interests, but also for personal grudges; Warner Bros. also knows that Robert Eiger is resentful to Lance. The name of Lance is written in the column of the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but this is a result of unwillingness. At the same time, the two companies are unwilling to watch the tiger fight.

The point is that they want to deal with Lance, but no one is willing to sacrifice their interests. The premise of suppressing Chaos Pictures is that they can guarantee their success, and everyone hopes to occupy an excellent period and ensure box office revenue - no one will smash a watermelon to death by trampling an ant, which is not the businessman's abacus.

For a time, the top Hollywood companies presented a rare and lively scene. Even the other three companies that were standing by were not completely deaf. Although they did not want to participate, their works must be set in the summer season - not to mention the "Raging Road", no one is willing to go back with "Superman" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to collide. Even a comedy movie like "Life Remote Control" is generally favored by industry insiders, facing the collision period head-on requires careful consideration of various possibilities.

As Lance expected, the "Raging Road"'s independent schedule was set off in Hollywood regardless of its own behavior, and the success of the three viral videos added fuel to the fire, adding more uncertainty to the box office prospects of the movie, so that the six major Hollywood companies had to be cautious.

After striking and stretching, no inch of giving in, and the exchange of interests, in just half a month, the schedule of this summer's schedule has been reversed several times until the schedule of "Superman Return" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" were determined one after another, and it gradually became clear.
