“This movie is so bad that I don’t even know how to rate it other than it doesn’t deserve it.”
Review from the Los Angeles Times.
“An indescribable film, it’s embarrassing that ‘American Pie’ has the potential to be a bellwether for Hollywood teen movies.”
The Washington Post focuses on teen movies.
“No matter how we judge it, we all need to acknowledge the fact that “American Pie” has been very successful commercially, and Orion Pictures will once again have a franchise.”
The Wall Street Journal focuses more on business.
With the box office of “American Pie” singing all the way, various negative comments emerged in an endless stream.
Not only did it not affect the box office data, but it aroused the curiosity of some people and chose to buy tickets and go to the cinema.
As for “Starship Troopers”, which was released a week earlier, there was no media attention at all.
Sony Pictures and Disney have decided to cancel the next promotional plan of “Starship Troopers” to minimize losses.
Amy Pascal shook her head and put the newspaper aside, “Sony Pictures has always been an outsider.”
It is true that Hollywood welcomes foreign capital, but it does not welcome foreign investors actually controlling a film company.
Of course, what Sony bought was Columbia Pictures, one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood, and the rest of the film companies had to recognize the same status of Sony Pictures.
But it cannot change the fact that Sony Pictures is an outsider.
Most good movie projects rarely choose to cooperate with Sony Pictures.
“Sony Pictures has always been one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood. This is an unchangeable fact.” Robert Shea, president of New Line Pictures, seems to be very familiar with Amy Pascal like an old friend.
“Amy, my purpose of coming here to find you is very simple. New Line Pictures and Sony Pictures have common competitors.”
“We can totally join forces.”
Amy-Pascal’s sarcasm flashed across his eyes, and he asked calmly, “Robert, I hope you can understand what you said.”
“A film “Lost in Space” released by New Line Films is expected to be released in the spring of next year, and “Rush Hour” produced by Orion Films will almost be released in the spring.”
Robert Shay has already made full preparations, “As far as I know, “Rush Hour” is an action movie, and we can definitely make some fuss about the movie classification.”
“Like turning it into an R-rated movie.”
Movie classification has a serious impact on the box office, and can even affect the final box office success or failure of a film.
“Robert, you seem to have come to the wrong place.”
Amy Pascal said calmly, “You should go to Warner Bros., not me.”
New Line Pictures’ parent company is Warner Bros., not Sony Pictures, and she can’t afford to support New Line Pictures to stop Orion Pictures.
What’s more, it is expected that for a long time, Sony Pictures will not have any important films released, and blocking Orion Pictures will not do any good for Sony Pictures.
“It’s difficult for you to forget “Starship Troopers”? By the way, there is also “The Plague of Python” from a while ago.” Robert Shea deliberately emphasized his tone, “There is also the promise of the last party!”
Faced with DreamWorks’ ambitions in film production, distribution, records, and animation, the seven giants of Hollywood’s film companies have met long ago, and even reached a private agreement to jointly suppress the three aspects of publicity, distribution, and theaters. Development of DreamWorks.
Although Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and Universal Pictures have cooperated with several companies, which is also full of fierce competition, no new film companies are allowed to join them.
Even MGM, which has declined, agrees very much.
Right now, Robert Shea wants to use the original agreement to restrict DreamWorks and at the same time restrict Orion Pictures.
“Agreement?”
Amy Pascal seemed to have a weird tone, “That was an agreement between Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., and several other film companies, not New Line Pictures.”
“Robert, I’ll say it again.”
She took a deep look at Robert Shay, “If New Line Cinema really has this plan, you can ask Barry Meyer to call me personally.”
Barry Meyer, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Warner Bros., next in line for Warner Bros. president.
Hearing this, Robert Shea already understood Amy Pascal’s attitude very well.
At that moment, Robert Shea stood up, with an uneasy expression on his face, and said, “The ambitions of Orion Films and Ryan Gosling are not as simple as they appear on the surface. You will regret today’s decision.”
After speaking, Robert Shay turned around and left.
As for Warner Bros.’ attitude?
He was even more speechless.
“Batman and Robin”, which was released in the summer, is a movie made by Warner Bros. at a huge cost of 1.2 billion US dollars, which can be said to have met the expectations of everyone.
However, the North American box office of the film was only US$10.7 billion, and the global box office was only US$23.8 billion.
(The above is the box office data accumulated over a long period of time, which is actually a little less than this.)
Not to mention meeting expectations, even the cost of filming can only be recovered by surrounding copyrights.
As a result, the entire “Batman” series of films must be temporarily frozen.
For a period of time, Warner Bros. has been looking everywhere for a new series of films, wanting to replace the vacancy of “Batman”.
Undoubtedly, the “Harry Potter” project plan in the hands of Orion Pictures fell into the eyes of Warner Bros.
According to the information obtained from within Orion Films and Paramount.
This will be an unprecedented plan. The entire project is so huge that it requires global operation and publicity. Orion Films has to find a partner with the support of the media group.
The investment in the “Harry Potter” project plan also shocked the Warner Bros. executives. The resources that will eventually need to be invested are simply an astronomical figure. It is no wonder that Paramount has been hesitant.
Conversely, once this project is successfully operated, it will bring unimaginable benefits.
Although Warner Bros. has not formally requested cooperation with Orion Pictures, they will not support New Line Pictures’ plan.
The most crucial point is that Robert Shea, not Warner Bros., is in charge of New Line Pictures.
It is true that Warner Bros. is the major shareholder of New Line Pictures, but they do not have actual control over the company.
There is no cloud in the sky above Bel Air, looking from a distance, it looks like a blue sea, very beautiful.
Ryan was wearing a bathrobe, half lying on the sofa in the master bedroom, reminiscing about the show just now, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
Just now, Charlize Theron and Cindy Crawford staged a very stunning underwear catwalk, which has a faint feeling of the previous Victoria’s Secret show.
It was the catwalk show that Victoria’s Secret impressed him the most~www.mtlnovel.com~It should be around 13 or 14 years. Tangtang (Candice-Swanepoel)’s wide opening and smooth waist are simply perfect up.
Just now Ryan felt the same way again.
Cindy Crawford was only wearing a white shirt, and walked in with a cup of coffee. It can be clearly seen that her snow-white skin was exposed, “I really want to take a good rest for a while.”
“The Sixth Sense” is a global hit, grossing more than $600 million.
Cindy Crawford seems to have returned to the peak of her career, with various announcements from the fashion industry incessantly, traveling back and forth between North America and Europe all day long, with no breaks at all.
After finishing speaking, she naturally sat beside Charlize Theron, put her arms around Charlize Theron, who was also wearing only a white shirt, and put her head on her shoulder, “Charlie, let’s find a place together How about relaxing?”
Before Charlize-Theron could answer, Ryan looked at her angrily, “Please, can you take my feelings into consideration!”
He admits to being very comfortable, even happy, with Cindy Crawford.
Only the scene in front of him made Ryan somewhat depressed.
As if Cindy Crawford didn’t hear it, she gave Ryan a provocative look, then put her arms around Charlize Theron and kissed directly.
Charlize Theron didn’t mean to refuse at all, but responded very enthusiastically, and it seemed that the two were very skilled in their movements.
“Cindy!” Ryan gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the two who were kissing passionately, “You will pay for this.”
The next moment, he pounced directly, determined to teach Cindy Crawford a lesson.
