Martin said, "are you sure you'll regret it when top secret flight is released?"

The other party said, "maybe? It may be a loss. If I were you, I would get rid of it as soon as possible while it was valuable."

Martin said, "do you think I can't find a buyer?"

The other party said, "you've driven them away. You'll beat your mouth and beg them. Don't be silly. The other five major investment banks in Hollywood won't offer any more." the implication is that this piece is listed as meat by the other four investment banks, and the meat can only rot in disaster.

Martin hung up the phone directly. The performance of "extreme agent 2" was even worse in the second week. It was a problem whether it could exceed 30 million. It was determined. There was no chance of turnover, and the shareholders criticized him more.

Colombia and paramount were not the only losers. The 20th Century Fox's annual blockbuster "the kingdom of heaven" also hit the streets. The big production of this giant director star was cold when it premiered on May 6. In the first week of three days, there was only $19 million at the box office. Scott, who once made an epic ancient war blockbuster, had a big somersault in "the kingdom of heaven", In any case, such achievements will not be able to earn back 160 million yuan of investment.

The huge defeat made the great director of alien, blade runner, Black Hawk falling and gladiator suffer from criticism. The overwhelming accusations made his sentence: "I didn't cut it!" completely submerged and ignored.

It is worth mentioning that "crash" was released on the same day, which made a box office of $9 million. It will shine in next year's Oscar.

Three consecutive A-level blockbusters hit the street, making the film market depressed and unprecedentedly hungry. Fortunately, there is Star Wars prequel 3 Sith revenge to look forward to.

Star Wars 3 broke four box office records on the day of its premiere on May 19: the midnight premiere box office (the original record holder was Lord of the rings 3: return of the king, US $8 million); The total box office on the opening day (the original record holder was Spider Man 2, US $40 million), the one-day box office (the original record holder was Shrek 2, US $44.8 million) and the Thursday box office (the original record holder was matrix 2: reload, US $37.5 million).

After its premiere on Star Wars day in Cannes on May 4, European film critics said that the film implied the current government's policies. Anakin once said, "if you don't stand with me, you will be on the enemy's side." Bush once said after the 9 / 11 incident, "if you don't stand with us, you will be on the terrorist's side."

However, George Lucas denied this, because the framework of the film story was formed during the Vietnam War and Nixon's administration, when the Iraq problem did not exist.

This super blockbuster has strong gold absorption ability and swept the box office all over the world. In the United States, war star has become a popular culture. During the release of Star Wars prequel 3, the leave rate in many places increased by 20%. They asked for leave to go to the movies.

The movie heat in the Star Wars series has burst, the box office has frequently set new records, film activities are emerging one after another, and derivatives are also endless. What is the charm of this film series? After 32 years, it is still enduring, but it is becoming more and more popular?

For 32 years of star wars, such a long time, all kinds of star wars have led a trend culture; In cooperation with major brands, we have launched items covering people's manual work, theme assembly, and even derived from all aspects of life, such as kitchenware, furniture, office supplies, etc.

Before becoming the most profitable and well-known film series on earth, "Star Wars" was almost seen as a joke. Francis Coppola, who was making the godfather at that time, always ridiculed: "such a film? Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe, Only President Alan Ladd II and Spielberg supported George Lucas, a cutting-edge director who still lost money in the last film.

Until the shooting was finished, no cinema dared to show the film that seemed to lose money. After unremitting efforts, some cinemas are finally willing to release star wars with "bundled screening", that is, the audience buys tickets to see a film and enjoys the additional film star wars for free.

As a result, on May 25 of that year, when star wars was released, the jokers were shocked: the global box office was as high as $800 million! The film not only saved the 20th century fox, which almost went bankrupt, but also attracted the attention of film fans all over the world. The "along time ago in a galaxy far, faraway" sounded with the music, which made everyone boiling.

Many people were shocked by the film. There were long queues at the gates of cinemas everywhere. Just to see the film, many people watched it again and again, and then lined up to buy tickets for one show! It can be called an epoch-making blockbuster. James Cameron, the king of the world, was 23 years old: "watching Star Wars surprised me to pee my pants. I jumped up from my chair, my God! Who did it? I told myself: I want to make such a video too! I quit my job as a truck driver." seven years later, he directed terminator, Seventeen years later, he made Titanic.

That year, Ron Howard was also 23 years old: "when the film ended, I went out of the theater without saying a word, lined up for another hour and a half to buy tickets and watched it again." he later became a disciple of Lucas and directed films such as magic cocoon, Apollo 13 and beautiful heart and spirit. He is one of the famous contemporary directors.

Star Wars prequel 3 was released in 115 countries and regions around the world. In North America, 2900 midnight premieres returned $16.5 million for the film, while the total revenue on the premiere day was $50 million.

According to the statistical results, except for being slightly surpassed by Spider Man 2 on the seventh and eighth days, the film maintained the highest total box office record of American films in the first 12 days after its premiere. On the third day after its release, the box office of Star Wars prequel 3 exceeded US $100 million, as well as spider man, the matrix: reload and Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire It became the only film with a box office of more than 100 million in three days.

On the fourth day, the box office reached US $158 million, breaking the four-day total box office record of US $134 million maintained by matrix: reload. On the eighth day, the box office reached US $200 million, which was basically the same as Spider Man 2. On the thirteenth day, it exceeded us $250 million, becoming the highest box office film this year.

The box office reached $300 million in 17 days, exceeding the original 18 day record maintained by monster Shrek 2. In the competition with a box office of $350 million, Star Wars III finally ranked behind monster Shrek 2 and spider man.

The super big box office sales have made Lucas film surpass mm and become the most beautiful and eye-catching film company in Hollywood. Its various derivatives are unmatched by any film.

Mark knew that George, a strong film man, was afraid to retire at this time and sold his industry to Disney seven years later.

Mark was thinking that if I hadn't been bankrupt at that time, I would have to fight for the sale of pants.

The emergence of this blockbuster made it impossible to release A-level blockbusters after mid May. After it exceeded 250 million, the popularity decreased significantly. Only then did DreamWorks's animated cartoon Madagascar be released. It is an animated cartoon with different market positioning and no competition. It also achieved good first week results, but surprisingly, it was released two days earlier Adam Sandler proved his great appeal when he achieved $58 million in the first week.

The film was a cooperative project between paramount and Colombia, but it happened that Martin died by packaging and selling it to paramount at the price of 10% of the investment cost. Cheng Peng kept it, but the film sold well.

The media commented on Martin like this: "this talented investment expert's vision in film is not as good as one tenth of his financial vision. Garbage is treasure, but treasure is garbage." it became a laughing stock for a while.

After the beginning of June, one blockbuster after another. On June 10, Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Lions Gate, on the 15th, Batman's war time, on the 22nd, Disney's emperor penguin diary, on the 24th, Disney's golden turtle Herbie, and on the 29th, Spielberg's World War and Columbia's top secret flight, It's dizzying. The worst summer war is coming.

After setting up the M & a team, mark delegated the power to egger and let him lead the operation. He was quite relieved because David accompanied him to supervise the army this time. Their M & a team had prepared sufficient funds and manpower and was ready to go.

Moreover, they are still quite low-key, and do not end up like other buyers. They have maintained enough mystery. Even many people in the M & a team do not know who they have prepared so much human and material resources to start with.

Egger designated one floor of the six storey office building they rented as the M & a headquarters, while mark was busy promoting the new film Batman's time of war. There was an agreement first, which was also related to his income. In this film, he had a 15% share of beimi. Of course, it didn't take effect until beimi exceeded 100 million.

Not only he, but also the little plum who had been drunk after Oscar's disappointment was caught by Kevin and began a publicity trip. He let the goods drive the cool bat chariot and appear everywhere for publicity, which aroused the crazy pursuit of fans and fans.

Warner attaches great importance to the relaunched Batman, and the advertising is overwhelming. Because of the explosion of "wedding pride", the fame and appeal of mark, David Lee and Rachel rise again, which is a surprise for Warner. Since then, Warner has a huge fan group. Coupled with the participation of a number of popular stars, Warner's confidence in him is second only to December After Harry Potter.
