The whole of North America caused a sensation. Chaos Film, a small company without any funding and no connections, really started from scratch, but broke out a bloody road in Hollywood controlled by Wall Street. This is not the distant 20s. Ten thousand dollars plus a camera can lead a team and open up a world in Hollywood. This is the 21st century, and the film industry has matured. Even if Rudeng Factory has strong connections and even Rudeng Film has rich copyright resources reserves for works, they have not been able to break the strong blockade of the capital chain. One was forced to split and the other was forced to acquire, and in the end, it still has not been able to continue the title of "The Eight Hollywood" name. Now Hollywood is still the "Six Majors", which cannot be shaken and no one can challenge.

However, Chaos Pictures did it - not to mention future development, in 2006, Chaos Pictures did it. Without any support and help, it reached the top of the pyramid and became one of the top players. Especially in the past year, Chaos Pictures has fled around under the blockade of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, in danger, and even the space cannot be found. However, Chaos Pictures still found a way out, not only escaped, but also hit Warner Bros. Sony Pictures and became a witness to Chaos Pictures' strong rise.

Looking back at the summer season in 2006, Warner Bros. was defeated, and the three horses were wiped out. The heavy losses caused internal and external troubles. Barry Meyer's absolute power within the company encountered severe challenges. If you are not careful, he may become the next Michael Esner; Sony Pictures's mantis arm is in a car, and in addition to the "Da Vinci Code", it is sluggish in all aspects. Although the losses are not as exaggerated as Warner Bros., each work has suffered a big loss. Michael Leighton's self-righteousness but he suffers from the consequences. The momentum of strong rise in the past two years has ushered in

The wake-up call was a serious internal injury for Sony, who was determined to rule Hollywood; Disney even broke his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was suppressed and had no temper at all. All records made the opponent's glory. Moreover, for their own interests, they had to stand on the opposite side of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, betrayed and took the initiative to cool down the controversy of "Rampant Road". What's even more depressing is that they also had to pay Lance - in the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", two percent of the dividends belong to Lance.

In the confrontation with the bayonets on the front, Chaos Pictures actually caused Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Disney to suffer losses. Such a feat is enough to make them a newcomer and deserve the title of "The Seventh Player in Hollywood".

Now all media are discussing heatedly what are the advantages and disadvantages of Chaos Pictures over DreamWorks? After DreamWorks rose strongly, they persisted for nearly ten years, but they still couldn't stand it. How long can Chaos Pictures last? Is this a flash in the pan or a real change in the Hollywood landscape?

In fact, the so-called Hollywood pattern is not that complicated. After simplifying the complex situation, it means that the financial resources are strong. Why can the six major Hollywood film companies dominate the entire market? Simply put, if ten works fail, as long as one works succeed, they can continue to dominate because they have the financial support of Wall Street behind them, allowing them to make mistakes, allowing them to experiment, and allowing them to fail.

But the film company did not.

For example, Warner Bros.'s three works have been ruined this summer. Preliminary statistics show that these three works will bring them a loss of about 350 million to 400 million. Of course, the three works - especially "Superman Return" - can recover some costs around the market, videotape rental, TV on-demand broadcasts, etc., but considering that the market feedback of the three works is unsatisfactory, the profit in this area is bound to be limited. A loss of about 350 million to 400 million is as rich as Warner Bros., even if they are as rich as Warner Bros., it will be a pain, not to mention that they have to face the fierce upward momentum of Sony Pictures. But Warner Bros. will still not be hurt, and they will make a comeback next summer.

Relatively speaking, DreamWorks did not have such good luck. Take 2003 as an example. That year, DreamWorks' "Cat and Mouse Game" earned 350 million yuan worldwide, and its box office profit reached about 90 million yuan. However, works such as "Oolong Head", "Simbada Seven Seas Legend", "Snake Taibao" lost nearly 70 million yuan. At that time, DreamWorks had to draw funds to produce works such as "Monster Shrek 2", "Madagascar", etc., and they were completely unable to make ends meet, and they eventually fell into such a vicious cycle. Maybe they had to shoot a profitable work, but they had to face the risk of failure of six or seven works.

This gap in "bearable failure" has widened the gap between large studios and medium-sized film companies in the context of the blockbuster era. Perhaps the first nine works of large studios have failed, and the tenth work happened to be "Pirates of the Caribbean", so they can make a fortune. Warner Bros. suffered a crushing defeat this summer, but they were invincible with the "Harry Potter" series. Later, the "Harry Potter" series was completed, and Warner Bros.'s momentum suddenly fell and was overtaken by Disney, who held the Marvel Universe and the "Star Wars" universe; but for film companies, one of the three works must be successful to ensure that they continue to move forward, otherwise they can only continue to spin small productions with a cost of less than 30 million, and they will never find a breakthrough opportunity.

The reason why Chaos Film has been able to rise strongly in just three years and become a powerful candidate for the seventh player is not because they rely on a powerful DreamWorks-style connection, but an incredible 100% success rate. Especially after the establishment of the distribution department of Chaos Film, the three works of "City of Sin", "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Rampant Road" have almost leaps at one step and are unstoppable. If this trend continues, Chaos Film has gained a foothold at the top of the pyramid, which is definitely not a delusion.

Although the first work "Queen", which Chaos Pictures has made all its efforts, will be released in the second half of the year, everyone knows clearly that the biggest contributor to Chaos Pictures' rise is still Lance.

It is hard to imagine what height this genius director will reach in the future. His unprecedented shots will fully utilize his talents and abilities. As long as he can continue to create masterpieces, Chaos Film's upward momentum will not stop. Now, the question is: Where is the end point of Lance?

Although he is not yet thirty-four years old, Lance has received numerous praises, and his talent as a screenwriter and as an actor has received award recognition. Surprisingly, Lance has returned empty-handed in the director position, but people firmly believe that this embarrassment will not last too long. Whether it is the feat of nominating the best director for three consecutive years, or the praise that the Crime Trilogy won on the European continent. Rumors say that this year's Venice Film Festival plans to open a special unit to continuously play Lance's Crime Trilogy, which is completely a master-level treatment. Only those film masters who have been in the film industry for many years can win such affirmation from the three major European film festivals, but now Lance has entered the Hall of Masters, which are direct proof of Lance's director's talent. What's more, Lance has led several positions in the exploration of business and art.

In the film "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Lance will earn 4 million as a screenwriter, which has already become one of Hollywood's top screenwriters. No one can deny that the script written by Lance is indeed excellent. With the expansion of the pattern, it ensures the compactness and richness of the plot as much as possible, and the vivid characters are widely praised; in the film "Raging Road", Chaos Film has achieved a profit of 500 million. Such a feat is not inferior to the "Titanic" of that year - after all, the profit of this work will be shared by two companies. What's more terrifying is that after entering the video tape market, Chaos Film's peripheral revenue will continue to rise. With this work alone, Chaos Film will not have to worry about investment in the next three years.

At the same time, Chaos Pictures was not stupidly satisfied with this. The publicity period of "Raging Road" is still continuing, and the news about "Iron Man" has been in full swing. Not to mention how true the relevant news is, at least it can be seen that Chaos Pictures is not satisfied with the success of "Raging Road". They are still continuing to innovate step by step. This idea itself has already made Chaos Pictures ahead of countless small and medium-sized film companies.

Therefore, Chaos Pictures is indeed changing the landscape of Hollywood and will continue. The new seventh player in Hollywood may really set off a wave of earth-shaking.

This also made all industry insiders unwilling to focus on Chaos Pictures. Some people think that its failure is sooner or later. Without the support of Wall Street funds, Chaos Pictures has too great risks, just like DreamWorks relies on Steven Spielberg. It is unrealistic to rely solely on Lance to support the entire company alone. Some people think that Lance is a smart person, and he will choose a suitable time to introduce Wall Street funds to truly make Chaos Pictures challenge; some people think that Chaos Pictures is just a shining meteor, and the success of the "Rampant Road" is too special and almost impossible to replicate. The same is true for the other two published works "City of Sin" and "Fruit Hard Candy". The imprint of the cult style is destined to make Chaos Pictures difficult to get out of the shackles...

There was a lot of controversy, and the whole Hollywood was hotly discussing the emergence of Chaos Pictures. Even the social and economic pages of major newspapers and magazines could not help but focus on the new "Seventh Player". Is it really time for Hollywood to change?
