Chapter 830 Who am I?

h2> "No one doubts the potential of Avatar, and those boldest predictions have been broken, and Ryan and Cameron have made an invincible myth. Whether it is the history-based Titanic or the completely fictional planet Pandora, they have become popular events on Earth!"

When time entered 2010, "Avatar" not only rushed into the world's film market with an irresistible momentum, but also appeared on the cover of "Time". No one doubted that this would be an epoch-making movie.

At least in the hearts of ordinary audiences and Hollywood professionals, as Steven Soderbergh said, the history of movies can be divided using "before "Avatar" and "Avatar" to "after "Avatar".

Four weeks after "Avatar" was released in North America, the box office in North America steadily exceeded the $500 million mark!

This is the second movie in North American history to have a box office of more than $500 million, and the other is "Titanic"!

In the same four weeks, "Avatar" swept the world unexpectedly, with overseas box office exceeding US$1.1 billion, and the global box office combined reached US$1.621.55 million!

The film has only been released for four weeks, and no one doubts that Avatar can challenge the global box office record of "Titanic" totaling $2.1 billion.

Those critics who sang "Avatar" were torn off the last fig leaf by the ruthless reality.

In Chicago's mansion, all the servants were careful. The man in the wheelchair was in a worse mood since Christmas. Not only did he often get angry for no reason, but he would occasionally tear the documents sent by his agent to pieces.

After experiencing so many ups and downs, Roger Albert found that he could not calmly face the box office numbers and box office trends that could only be described as horror. He always felt a sense of anger in his heart, but he could not vent it, causing the gloom on his face to become thicker and thicker, so thick that it was almost about to drip into water.

Why does this movie open low and go high? Why do you want to give yourself hope? Why is Ryan? Jenkins not finished?

When he saw the film's midnight box office and first-day box office, he really felt proud. This feeling had disappeared for almost ten years. The cold reception he encountered on the first day of "Avatar" even reminded him of his extremely glorious moment. At that time, major Hollywood companies, directors and celebrities from all over the world flattered him, hoping to say a few good things to them in the film reviews, and some people even offered a price of more than $500,000 for this.

He was not short of fame and money at that time.

Although Jianzhi told him that the poor box office of "Avatar" on the first day was related to the snowstorm spreading on the east coast of North America and most parts of Europe, he has always had luck. He is tough and believes that it is the collective critics' critics' collective critics that led to this situation. It is the critics who affected the box office of the movie and it is the critics who prevented the audience from entering the theater!

Instead of the so-called snowstorm!

However, the facts will not change according to personal wishes. "Avatar" has become a phenomenal movie. Even if the group of critics has received the support of News Group, it still cannot stop the film from crushing the last bit of dignity of their group.

Why is this happening? Are we really outdated?

Roger Albert thought so, but he never admitted it in his heart. He stubbornly believed that Ryan Jenkins was the curse they could not get around!

Can't I see Ryan? Jenkins in my lifetime?

As a leader in this industry, no one knows how much Roger Albert hates Ryan, who seriously harms their interests.

Sitting quietly in the wheelchair, the pen in Roger Albert's hand was slashing unconsciously, and he didn't even notice it. The paper on the record book had already been scratched by him. The black scars truly reflected his face that was as resentful as his heart.

The blow that "Avatar" responded to them was really painful, even more painful than "Star Wars" and "Titanic" combined. Although it did not ridicule "Titanic", Roger Albert remembered the past that he automatically ignored. Back then, he was also a member of "Star Wars". George Lucas, who was always looked down upon and ridiculed by them, was like James Cameron, constantly reminding them with the success of "Star Wars" that the film critics who claim to be a clever person are actually nothing!

Roger Albert thought of the news group that had entered his account with seven figures, and suddenly felt that a lot of clouds lingering in his heart had dissipated.

It's obvious that News Corp is targeting Ryan Jenkins and Walt Disney.

Although he couldn't guess the reason, he felt much more happy in his heart. Perhaps the powerful News Group would help him exude the anger that has been in his heart since 2002 to the present, causing the arrogant Ryan Jenkins to lose his reputation and fall into dust!

I will definitely open my eyes and wait to see that day!

Roger Albert told himself this way that he must overcome the disease and live tenaciously until that day, watching the Ryan Jenkins-style myth completely shattered!

In just a moment, this most famous film critic in the United States and even the world, just like when commenting on many movies, habitually ignored the disgrace on "Avatar" and saw new hope.

If Ryan knew about it, he would definitely sigh, he is a professional film critic with a thicker face than rhino skin!

The snowstorm in New York has already stopped, and the Big Apple's work and life returned to normal before Christmas last year. As a three-no-person, no column, no fixed occupation, and no stable income, former famous film critic David Denby has had a hard time recently. As a former "celebrity", his rented apartment is located in the famous Upper East Side of New York.

Now David Denby has to move. It is not easy to move into the Upper East Side. For example, tenants like him must not only have an identity, but also pass the review of the community or the owners' committee of the apartment building. I don't know when the eyes of the people around him have changed.

Recently, his landlord and the committee of his community also informed him that he had to move out within a time limit because he was complained by many neighbors - no one was willing to be a neighbor with a film critic who likes to talk nonsense and bite people like a mad dog. If this spread will reduce the style of the community and damage their reputation!

David Denby was very angry. When did the film critic become a mad dog?

When he moved in, it was the most glorious moment for film critics. Even the Upper East Side community, which paid great attention to tradition, expressed enough welcome to his arrival. Less than ten years have passed, and he has become the mad dog in their eyes?

When did the critic become an optional small character?

Standing in the living room of the apartment, David Denby seemed a little confused. He accidentally turned his head and saw a copy of the New York Times on the table. The front page of the newspaper was Avatar's latest global box office - $2.255.21 million!

This record-breaking figure in the history of the film seemed like a big mouth full of ridicule, mocking them for being overestimated!

Who am I? What are my abilities to sing the opposite tune with Ryan? Jenkins?

For a moment, David Denby felt regretful, regretting why he challenged Ryan Jenkins directly, why didn’t he maintain a good cooperative relationship with Disney like Kenneth Toulan and Todd McCarthy?

If this were the case, would he be swept out by the Upper East Side?

On the third day of David Denby's move out of the Upper East Side due to pressure from the community committee, an old man and a middle-aged woman were also pondering in a villa not far from here.

The 78-year-old Rupert Murdoch spent his whole life creating the giant News Group. He never concealed his ambitions and even wanted to swallow Time Warner for a while. Unfortunately, the other party finally chose A. Online. Now, facts have proved that this is a loss-win result.

"It's already $2.3 billion."

Wendi Deng, who was sitting next to him, was flipping through the newspaper, "If Twentieth Century Fox can win the distribution rights, we can at least take $200 million from it."

"If it were us," Murdoch shook his head, "will Disney share the benefits?"

Wendi Deng was silent and flipped over another page, but still couldn't help it. "The sales of products such as toys have exceeded 500 million US dollars."

"I heard that James Cameron is preparing for a sequel," she added. "Can't we get in touch with him? His relationship with Twentieth Century Fox was pretty good before. We can get Cameron's support first, so we can put pressure on Ryan and Disney to join the project."

"There is no hope now." Murdoch saw better than Wendi Deng, who had a relatively simple vision. "Instead of fighting for these vague interests, it is better to swallow what you can get as soon as possible."

"Disney is a strong opponent." Wendi Deng is not a fool either. "Their contact with Lucasfilm has entered the substantive negotiation stage. There is a definite news that Ryan has been watching this matter, and he has not even attended the celebration party of "Avatar".

"I'll have someone try to divert his energy from Disney."

This media giant who has a lot of people in the world has obviously planned everything. "Ryan cares about too many people and things. These will distract him and I will let him give up on his own initiative!"

"He..." Wendi Deng was a little worried, "It's not easy to deal with."

"Don't forget, I'm not Michael Eisner."

Rupert Murdoch is full of confidence. He is completely different from Michael Eisner. After all, the other party is just the manager of Disney, and he is the real controller of News Corporation!

Lucasfilm has huge benefits, and News Corporation cannot give up, even if its competitor is Walt Disney.r1152
