Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

As soon as Monday's work time arrived, Spike Lee walked into his studio in North Hollywood. The studio was small and there were only two offices together. Like most Hollywood stars and directors' studios, this is an empty shell bag company, mainly used to avoid taxes and do some inconvenient personal identity.

"Good morning, Director Lee."

A woman with blonde hair greeted Spike Lee respectfully.

Spike Lee nodded slightly to her, walked to the door of his office, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Alice, Jackson is coming later. He will take it directly to my office when he comes."

The blonde woman knew that Jackson was the boss's agent and immediately said, "Yes, Director Lee."

Spike Lee thought for a while and said, "Let me find some newspapers for today."

"It's ready." The blonde woman was not the first day she was an assistant to Spike Lee, "and it was placed on her desk."

"You go and do it." Spike-Lee waved her hand.

This studio is just an empty shell with few employees. In addition to being an assistant, the blonde woman also serves as a telephone operator.

Spike Lee walked into the office and sat behind a large desk. He put a cup of steaming coffee and newspapers on the desk.

He picked up the cup and took a big sip of coffee, then turned his eyes to the entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times.

The front page headline of the entertainment version is a striking picture, with the man on it red cloak and red trousers rushing forward with a sharp sword in his hand.

Spike Lee frowned slightly, but didn't say much. Although this person was Leonida, played by Matthew Horner, he had predicted the current situation since the box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was released on the first day of North America.

It was a box office of nearly 40 million US dollars on the first day, and there were no strong competitors, so it would be strange if I couldn’t win the box office championship.

He continued to read, next to the picture was the news title "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" that was invincible, and it broke records in the first week of release!

"Several record breaking?" Spike Lee pinched his nose, "Is the box office really over 100 million in the first week?"

In the past three days, he has been moving around and contacting people, and has attracted many like-minded people. The film "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is directly related to the next series of plans.

Although the male protagonist got bored, he still held back and watched.

"The epic "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" released last weekend was invincible on the North American box office list. This film about the famous Battle of Hot Springs in Greek history easily dwarfed other films on the screen, just like the powerful Spartan warriors in the film fearlessly resisting the invasion of Persian troops."

"On the first day of release, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" surpassed the $37.2 million in "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", creating a new single-day box office record for R-rated films! This is also the second best November opening day result in the North American film market after "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on the first day of release!"

"However, the trend of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is more stable than "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". It collected another $34.6 million and $29.95 million on Saturday and Sunday respectively, surpassing the $12.68 million in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" with a weekend box office of $13.05 million, setting a new November weekend box office record in the North American film market, and also becoming the first R-level movie ever to break the $100 million mark on the first weekend!

"Faced with the strong performance of "The Three Hundred Warriors", the box office champion of the previous week, "The Flag of the Father" directed by Clint Eastwood, retreated to third place, and closed at $6.21 million in the second weekend; the box office runner-up this week was occupied by "Borat" released by Twentieth Century Fox for $26.45 million in box office revenue."

"No surprise, with the release of the film starring Matthew Horner, there is always a hot movie viewing craze in the North American film market. This week, the North American market soared 75% from last week, reaching $154.06 million..."

Seeing this, Spike Lee took the newspaper, and "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was even more successful than he expected!

The first R-rated film in history to have a box office of over 100 million in North America on its first weekend!

When someone thinks of this record in the future, he will naturally remember that the starring actor of this film is Matthew Horner!

This bastard is going to leave his name in film history...

Spike Lee couldn't help but shake his head and recalled, which movie starring Matthew Horner has sold the box office? There are too many, and he can't remember it.

Originally, he thought that "The Three Hundred Warriors" was too violent, cruel and bloody scenes, which would become a barrier to the box office, but all of them were not a problem.

Then, he saw what Matthew Horner said in an interview in another newspaper, answering questions about the violence of the film.

"The violence shown in this film will not make anyone feel unhappy because it is not done in an infuriating way after all. People like this film, and they are full of favor for creative things. In my opinion, the greatest success of a film is to gain the reputation of the audience. Only when the audience recognizes and actively promotes a film can you achieve success in the true sense."

Spike Lee pushed his eyes upwards, and this made a lot of sense, even those who dislike Matthew Horner would not deny it.

Think about himself, he has been working in the independent film industry for more than ten years. In the past, the Coppola family was helped, but he has not reached the front line. If he was not a black director and the environmental situation in Hollywood in the 21st century has changed drastically, he would not have become famous now.

It was not until last year that he truly understood the similar truth and then had the success of "The Insider".

The video can be niche, but it cannot be obscure or pretend to be profound, and it is literary and artistic for the sake of literature and art.

Strictly speaking, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is also relatively niche, but it relies on Matthew Horner to sell meat and director's skills to create a popular effect.

Spike Lee closed all the newspapers, picked up the cup, drank all the remaining coffee in one breath, and had a thought that would always linger in his head. Will "The Three Hundred Warriors" set a North American box office record for R-rated films? "The Passion of Jesus", which currently has the highest box office in R-rated films, was an extremely topical work back then.

The next second, Spike Lee smiled. "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" could not have such an opportunity, because his plan is about to be implemented. If everything goes well, the film will definitely be a high-end and low-end ending.

The office door was knocked from outside, and the blonde assistant pushed open the door and said, "Director Lee, Mr. James Jackson called, he has already gone downstairs."

Spike Lee nodded gently, "Let him come over."

In less than five minutes, a middle-aged white man wearing glasses walked into Spike Lee's office. The two of them simply greeted each other and got to the point.

"I just met Naomi Harris introduced by Jada Smith." James Jackson is also Jada Smith's agent. "According to Naomi Harris, Matthew Horner once directly snatched her role in the two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and replaced it with white actor Eva Green. Then she and Matthew Horner clashed with Matthew Horner."

Spike Lee thought about it and asked, "Will she come forward?"

James Jackson replied, "Naomi Harris agreed to accuse Matthew Horner of stealing her role by unfair means."

Speaking of this, he asked with concern, "Where are Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton?"

"Don't worry." Spike-Lee smiled, "They're fine with no problem."

"Our big plan can be launched." James Jackson seemed quite confident. "With the current situation in the circle, it will inevitably cause a sensation. If everything goes well, "The Insider" will become a hot topic in the awards season. Spike, you will also have a high chance to win the Oscar for Best Director."

He looked at Spike Lee with great admiration, "With this plan, we don't need the Coppola family this awards season."

Spike Lee was not blindly optimistic and asked, "What do you say about the producer Universal Pictures?"

James Jackson showed dissatisfaction, "Universal Pictures is too conservative, they will not participate directly." He continued, "Don't worry, they are not involved, but the Universal executives I contacted agreed to have agreed to our plan."

"It's good." Spike-Lee nodded slightly.

"As long as we go well," James Jackson said at this time, "Everyone calls for a fight between Matthew Horner and Universal Pictures sees profitability, and we don't need to propose, they will also participate."

Spike Lee felt that what the agent said was very reasonable. In the current situation in Hollywood, blacks cannot be violated. Racial discrimination is an absolute red line. Once someone touches it, it will inevitably become a mouse running on the street.

Now that the awards season is only three weeks away, it is obvious that it is impossible to recover Sofia Coppola. If he and "Insider" want to gain enough in the awards season, they must look for other ways.

Hollywood-style political correctness is undoubtedly the best weapon.

That day he saw the trailer for "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" and saw Matthew Horner killing black characters, and he had similar ideas. After watching the premiere, his ideas gradually became plans, and the agent also agreed to his plan. After all, the current situation in Hollywood is here. What is the difference between not using it and idiots?

He would be the first to stand up and accuse Matthew Horner of suspicion of racism with "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and then a group of allies followed up, and the media also contacted a lot, which would hype the topic and push Matthew Horner to the opposite of Hollywood's political correctness.
