Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 177 Dog bites dog

West Cotton, director of global marketing and president of distribution at Twentieth Century Fox, had a heated argument with Tom Rothman over the timing of Titan a.e.

But the power of the number one, West Cotton couldn't shake it, the schedule of "Titan a.e." was advanced by half a month, and it challenged "Spider-Man".

Later, Tom Rothman regretted it and wanted to adjust the schedule of "Titans a.e.", which was strongly rejected by West Cotton. The copies have been sent out, and the theater has also made a series of screening arrangements. At this time, how can the schedule be changed?

As a result, one can imagine that West Cotton was severely criticized by Tom Rothman.

This time, Disney took the initiative to attack and smeared "Titan a.e.", which directly led to a significant reduction in the box office expectations of the evaluation agency, and the theaters also responded, reducing the filming rate by 5 percentage points.

Tom Rothman was so angry that he called West Cotton into the office and yelled, "How do you work? We've dropped another 5 points in our schedule, are you waiting to see me laughing? ?"

West Cotton was sulking and said sternly: "Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to "Titan a.e.", fans are disappointed, evaluation agencies lower their expectations, and it is normal market behavior for theaters to adjust the filming rate."

"Normal?" Tom Rothman laughed angrily. "West, is this how you work? I want results, solutions, not your endless explanations and complaints!"

"Solution?" West Cotton frowned, "Hollywood star, who doesn't have any slander? If you want to suppress competitors and expose actor scandals, this is definitely the choice to perish. This is the best solution. "

"Bullshit!"

Tom Rothman slapped the table sharply and rebuked.

As a veteran filmmaker, Tom Rothman certainly knew what West Cotton meant.

Disregarding friendship and rules, Disney pushed public opinion to expose Drew Barrymore's dark history, which has a great adverse impact on the upcoming "Titans a.e.".

At this time, if Fox smears "Sixty Seconds" in his own way and treats his own body, it will definitely arouse Disney's vigilance and attention.

At that time, in order to avoid mutual death, the two companies must negotiate a solution, end all the public hype, clarify and explain, and save the image of the film.

At that time, the crisis of "Titan a.e." will be lifted naturally.

But in this situation, does Tom Rothman dare to attack Disney? Do you want to lose face?

He was the one who pulled "Sixty Seconds" into the water at the beginning. Now that the movie box office market is in a major crisis, Disney has taken some self-rescue measures. What's wrong?

If at this time, Tom Rothman dares to adopt the plan of perishing together, not only does his old face have no living space in Hollywood, but he has torn his face with Disney, and he also loses foreign aid in the board of directors.

It is precisely because of this that Disney dares to make a bold move.

Tom Rothman's face was ashen, "Immediately cooperate with Drew's agency to launch public relations to minimize the negative impact!"

The corner of West Cotton's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was a little sarcastic.

Can such a person also be in charge of 20th Century Fox?

Professional ethics? Shit!

Between corporate interests and private interests, he finally chose the latter. Anyone with a little brain knows that at this time, the more you explain and the weaker you become, the most effective way to get out of the game is to start a counterattack.

Seeing the mockery on West Cotton's face, Tom Rothman became even more angry and scolded loudly: "West, I tell you, if "Titan a.e." fails at the box office, you will get me out of here!"

Any failure of a blockbuster must be held accountable.

The "Fight Club" fiasco broke Bill McNick, what if "Titans a.e." also failed?

Tom Rothman's eyes narrowed.

He couldn't allow others to beat him the way he used to.

He wants to plan ahead.

This arrogant and arrogant West Cotton is of course the first choice!

It's not easy for Dunn to sow discord.

Everyone lives in a circle and knows each other very well, but at least it can create some confusion in the current situation.

America's private life is very open, but family values ​​are very conservative. Infidelity in marriage is a very serious thing!

Bruce Willis' dating a young model, which led to the couple's separation, became a hot topic in the tabloids for a while.

Since last year's "Golden Club" incident came to light, Bruce Willis' popularity has plummeted. This derailment incident brought him to the forefront again.

The suspense film "Undead", which Disney invested in, starred Bruce Willis, which implicated Disney and was also under great pressure.

It's not over yet!

In order to weaken the market influence of "Titan a.e.", Disney launched gossip and public opinion, high-profile reports of past Drew Barrymore scandals, and even when she was only 11 years old, she played a lot with multiple heterosexuals. It is also implicitly implied.

However, Columbia Pictures is now working with Drew Barrymore's production company on the film "Charlie's Angels", Cameron Diaz is the female lead, Drew Barrymore is the female lead, and the investment is nearly 1 One hundred million U.S. dollars!

Amy Pascal, who became president of Columbia Pictures last year and president this year, has a strong but unstable image. She now needs to prove through such a big production from a female perspective that women are no worse than men!

Now, because of the market competition between Disney and Fox, Drew Barrymore is involved, how can she bear it?

Columbia Pictures is affiliated with Sony Entertainment, and its publicity capabilities are far less than that of Disney and Fox. As an old Hollywood studio, there are always a number of channels and contacts for gossip tabloids behind it.

And this time, it just happened to confirm the truth that heroes see the same thing!

Tom Rothman doesn't dare to yell at Disney at this stage because of his personal interests, but Amy Pascal doesn't mind pushing him in the back.

At this time, if there is news that is unfavorable to "Sixty Seconds of Speed" in the market, most people's thoughts will definitely be Fox's secret manipulation, right?

Amy Pascal is a woman, with a new position and an unstable position, so it is not easy to challenge Disney directly. And Colombia's strength is no longer what it used to be. It is a good choice to save the country through a curve, and it is the best way to sow discord!

Soon, after Drew Barrymore and Bruce Willis, another big star appeared in the whirlpool of public opinion. His name is Nicolas Cage!

Last Christmas, the cult band held a concert.

At that time, Nicolas Cage was also there with his wife. However, the concert scene was too hot and there were too many audiences. Nicolas Cage's bodyguards used their fists to open the way, violently driving away many fans who were in the way, and paving the way for the "hero" in the movie.

At that time, there were boos everywhere, but Nicolas Cage looked calm, as if everything was normal. This was pure big-name behavior. Later, this incident caused a moment of restlessness, but it was quickly resolved by Nicolas Cage's public relations team.

At this time, before "Sixty Seconds of Speed" is about to be released, the old things are exposed again. As long as people with normal IQs understand that this is against "Sixty Seconds of Speed"!

Dunn has just held three meetings.

One is the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" script seminar with the production department, screenwriter department, and marketing department; the other is the release negotiation with Nolan's new film "Memento" with Universal; the other is with Marvel Entertainment " Hasbro Alliance" storyline idea, which is a conference call.

Dunn rested, half-squinted, leaning on the boss chair, Ella Fisher gently rubbed his forehead behind him.

Reese Witherspoon stood in front of him, holding a stack of newspapers with a smile, and said excitedly, "There's a quarrel, it's really a quarrel!"

Dunn's expression was shocked, and he suddenly became interested, "Is it Disney and Fox?"

"Who else besides them~www.wuxiaspot.com~? The whole of Hollywood is what they call Huan!" Reese Witherspoon screamed excitedly, with a kind of joy after winning, "I didn't expect you to be a little bit small. It's easy to cause their infighting, it's really laughable!"

Ella Fisher gently massaged Dunn with a look of admiration, "I knew, Dunn is the best!"

At this time, everyone did not know that it was Colombian strong woman Amy Pascal who was really behind the scenes.

Dunn didn't care about the process, but only about the result. Thinking of Bruce Willis, Drew Barrymore, and Nicolas Cage who were deeply involved in public opinion scandals, he became a little high-spirited.

Needless to say, Bruce Willis, the old enemy of Dunn Pictures, is very easy to suppress such a big man with developed limbs and a simple mind.

As for the other two...hehe, let Disney and Fox go dog-eat-dog!

The worse the images of "Sixty Seconds" and "Titan a.e.", the better the reputation of "Spider-Man" released in the same period will be in comparison!

Disney and Fox...

Hehe, tripping myself down the ropes I'm going to be the biggest Hollywood joke of 2000!

Dunn was in a good mood, he seemed to have seen "Spider-Man" sweeping the global box office and making it into film history, he smiled leisurely on Reese and Ella's faces, "Let's go together at night, let the two of you try, I More powerful means!"

Reese Witherspoon gave him a charming look, "Just try, who would be afraid of you?"

Ella Fisher also snorted: "That's right, Reese, let's work together tonight and deal with this guy well, and then you know how to bully people!"
