Of course it's not just Warner Bros. Tianlai Novel | 2

In fact, last night's party can see the turbulence of Hollywood. Less than twelve hours after the party ended, Cole had already deeply felt the depression and restlessness of the undercurrent. The six major Hollywood film companies made their debut.

Warner Brothers, who were in the brunt of the brunt, was undoubtedly full of sincerity. Not only did it bring the "Benjamin Button Miracle" project, but the ambition of creating the DC Universe of 1 billion US dollars was even more shocking. This shows that Barry Mayer's decisive and calm and objective killing was a decisive and objective one. Although Warner Brothers has repeatedly collided head-on with Chaos Pictures over the past year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an irreconcilable hatred. But after witnessing the success of the "Rampant Road", Barry made a quick decision. With the rumor of "Iron Man" sensation, he took the initiative to attack and extended an olive branch to express his intention to reconcile, and at the same time began to seek the huge benefits contained in the DC Universe - especially when "Return of Man" had just experienced an avalanche-like defeat, this courage was even more commendable.

It is by no means luck that Warner Bros. was able to rule the first decade of the 21st century. Whether it was buying out the adaptation rights of "Harry Potter" from Diorama, or the advance predictions made by clues today, it showed the wisdom of other competitors. Even after entering the second decade, due to the completion of the "Harry Potter" series, Warner Bros. was defeated by Disney, but they still ranked in the top three among the six major film companies, and Barry made great contributions.

This time, the same is true. Faced with the rise of the "seventh player" Chaos Pictures, Warner Bros. was the first to try to suppress it, and at the same time, he was the first to try to cooperate after confirming that the rise was unstoppable. It was not to stand by or be stubborn, but to put the interests at the right time and make the most beneficial choices for you in time. If Warner Bros. and Chaos Pictures cooperate to open the DC universe, who is the biggest beneficiary? Of course, it cannot be Chaos Pictures.

As Lance expected, the invitation to "Benjamin Button's Strange Incident" is more about expressing a cooperation intention and a friendly attitude. The essential significance is not about real cooperation. The Warner Brothers' Drunk Wing is not about wine. The DC universe is their top priority, because the adaptation rights and exercise rights of "Benjamin Button's Strange Incident" are in the hands of Paramount.

Compared to Warner Bros., Paramount is always an active party, and Brad Gray and Lance's friendship leads the other five film companies. Unlike Warner Bros., Paramount really hopes that the "Benjamin Button Strange" will be directed and starred by Lance. Brad took over the stormy Paramount. Now they are facing many difficulties and are short of funds. In order to avoid risks, they have to take out some major projects to cooperate in filming. "Benjamin Button Strange" is one of them. This work aimed at "Forrest Gump" has an investment cost of up to 150 million, and the subsequent promotional cost will also start at 50 million. Therefore, he had no choice but to find Warner Bros. If this project can be controlled by Lance, then Paramount will breathe a sigh of relief. Brad knew what Barry had to talk to Lance last night.

However, with Brad and Lance's personal relationship, he must be more convincing than Barry's visit, but he didn't. The reason is simple. Paramount is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they must also ask for something - the "Mission: Impossible" series, and the "Star Trek" series.

There is no need to say more about the former. Although the box office of the third series led by Tom Cruise this year was not satisfactory, Paramount still did not want to give up easily. The temptation of Tom and Wade can be seen that if Lance is willing to accept it, the launch of the fourth part is not a problem, but in the case of choice, Brad obviously prefers the latter.

"Star Trek" originally originated from a TV series and was aired in 1964. After forty years of exhibitions, it has become one of the most famous science fiction film and television series in the world. Although it is quite unfamiliar to Chinese audiences, in North America, this is a science fiction work comparable to "Star Wars".

In the past few years, "Star Trek" has been put on the big screen of the movie twice in the form of a series of works. The first time was in the year, with a total of six movies, of which the second and fourth were hailed as masterpieces worthy of history; the second time was in the year, with a total of four works. The box office results of the works were all acceptable, but their influence was greatly weakened and far from comparable to before.

The 2-year "Star Trek 1o: The Goddess of Nemesis" had a box office of only 67 million in North America, which was a disappointment, so Paramount temporarily ran apart the series.

But now Paramount has found the helm of the helm - Lance. "The Road of Furious" is called an epic of the apocalypse, which is even more magnificent than "Star Wars". It is thought-provoking and imaginative. Just the first work has already made people have countless expectations and fantasies about the wasteland apocalypse. Such a grand occasion is seen again thirty years later. If Lance can take charge of "Star Trek", it will definitely regain its vitality.

No one else can do it, but as long as it is Lance, everything seems impossible to be transformed into possibility. This powerful belief is gradually developing into a belief. At such a height, even Steven Spielberg, even Clint Eastwood, even George Lucas, and even James Cameron have not been able to achieve it. But now, Lance is touching this incredible state. Whether it is professional reputation or commercial box office, the myth of no defeat has brought Lance a mysterious halo, let alone the "Rampant Road" has destroyed the record.

Professionals who have always been picking on the bones of science fiction movies have shut their mouths all this time when facing Paramount's choice. Although it has been fifteen years since the great success of the last "Star Trek" movie, it has been twenty years since the "Mad Max" series. Who can guarantee that "Star Trek 11" will not become the second "Mad Max 4"?

As for Universal Pictures, which has always been cautious, it seems more like a headless fly to the outside world - actively contacting, but not enough chips in its hands. With the complete blockade of the news of "Invincible Hulk", it is generally believed that Universal Pictures cannot convince Lance to cooperate with them, but Universal Pictures' statement is undoubtedly crucial, because it means that Chaos Pictures has been half recognized among the six major Hollywood film companies.

Universal Studios is the company that is the least likely to open sequels among the six major Hollywoods. The "Du and Furious" series launched its third installment this year, but it was forced to go to a dead end by their marketing. The "American Pi" series is becoming less and less vital, almost turning over the corpse; the "Spy Shadows" series is their only reliance - but Paul Greengrass's work has been unanimously recognized, and there is no need to change the director; the "Mummy" series has been weak in the second installment, making it hard to believe that there will be a sequel later... Moreover, most of Universal Studios are medium and low-cost comedy, which is almost impossible to impress Lance.

The most reliable rumor at present is a "wanted order", because Universal Pictures began to ban Angelina Jolie for this work, which has caused quite a lot of discussion in the industry. However, Angelina, like Lance, is originally a thorn. Even if there is no so-called ban, her work is very narrow, so major film companies don't care too much at present.

However, the "wanted warrant" obviously does not have many advantages, especially in the comparison of Warner Bros. DC Universe and Paramount's "Star Trek", which also strengthens people's ideas: Universal Pictures is destined to fail to cooperate with Chaos Pictures.

Relatively speaking, Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Pictures seem a little quiet, and seem to have made up their minds to stand by and watch.

Twentieth Century Fox is quite confident. "Fantastic Four 2" and the restarted "Die Hard" have both invited less famous directors; although the "X-Men 3" did not have a big hit, the box office performance is still worthy of recognition. "Wolverine" currently being opened has found Gavin Hood. The director first shined in Sundance last year with the work "Gangmao Thug", and then won the best foreign language film Little Golden Man at the Oscar. Now, it naturally took over "Wolverine", reminding people of the rise of Lance; in addition, all their focus is on James Cameron. The pre-production of "Avatar" has been in operation for more than a year and has not been invested in actual shooting. This will be their next top priority.

Thomas Rossman and Jim Chianoporus, two old foxes, faced the upward momentum of Chaos Film, chose to "stable", watched coldly and waited for changes, and then waited for an opportunity to move. Compared to the radical Paramount, they were obviously more confident. Twentieth Century Fox kept the two leaders with high salaries at the beginning of this year, which can be seen that the board of directors is full of confidence in them.

Sony Pictures has been making constant moves in the past two years, and it is very stunning to seize power, but compared to other companies, they are still too shallow in their background and relatively limited projects worth running. There are rumors that they intend to hand over the "oo7" series to Lance again, but they are not in a hurry, because "oo7: Casino Royale" directed by Martin Campbell will be released in November, so they plan to make a decision after checking the box office and reputation.

What's more, Michael Leighton knew clearly that all his eyes have been focused on Reims recently. Instead of rushing up to join in the fun, it is better to wait for a more suitable project, seek more appropriate opportunities and then take action. This is worse than Universal Pictures that ignore it.
