I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Is this a money making business?

No, it's about making money.

It's just that I don't want to make money. It's not good who you choose. I chose 007 who can make money.

Think about it carefully.

Why Tom Hardy was able to succeed Daniel Craig in the 007 audition?

There are probably two reasons.

On the one hand, Tom Hardy is a very attractive British thug in terms of acting skills and temperament.

On the other hand, people have watched several generations of 007, but in fact they have changed the soup without changing the medicine.

Mission: Impossible, The Bourne Shadow, Codename 47, Taken, XxX, Kingsman, XX Has Fallen...

At the moment when there are more and more spy movies, 007, which was originally amazing to everyone, has already made people tired of aesthetics.

Daniel Craig is actually tired.

This Nima was scolded for one performance, and MGM was almost ruined by him.

Simply retire.

The image of Tom Hardy is very ungentlemanly, and it is this contrast that makes people's eyes shine.

Does 007 have to be a fixed image?

of course not.

Not to mention that 007 can be Mr. Tang, even a Bond girl can be a Bond boy.

Why not.

After all, it is a big corrupt country.

Of course, this 007: Outlaw is not so radical.

There are still Bond girls.

And if you have money, Bond girls must invite beautiful ones.

So Elizabeth Olsen was hired.

People were already full of expectations after the news was released, and they didn't feel that this was not the Bond we wanted, not the Bond girl we wanted.

Next time, if MGM makes any big moves, remember to synchronize with mine.

Things have come to this, what can Lin Dong do.

This boss is too aggrieved.

He almost watched this new version of 007 glowing with new life in his hands.

Okay Mr. Lin, actually, there is another project at MGM that is about to start. They have too much money. Xiao Guozi doesn't like to keep the money in the account. They like to invest it all. After investing in Hollywood Movies, 007, Warcraft Two Idiots, there is still some balance. Su Tong said.

She is Lin Dong's assistant.

In the early days, he was in charge of Lin Dong's itinerary.

There are too many responsibilities now, and she will intervene in most of the company's affairs so that she can report to Lin Dong at any time.

What project? Lin Dong was a little frightened.

I feel that the biscuits in my hand are suddenly not fragrant.

Cat and mouse. Su Tong said.

Huh~ Lin Dong heaved a long sigh of relief, luckily it was only a cartoon.

Lin Dong also watched Cat and Mouse.

I watched it after traveling.

Don't ask why an adult, an adult, would watch cartoons that only children like.

The five big and three thick guys can still watch the pregnant pig Gege.

I have eaten your rice.

The classic series of Tom and Jerry was originally created in 1938 by animator Joseph Barbera of MGM's animation department.

The first episode, The Cat Gets the Boot, aired in 1940.

At this time, MGM did not pay attention to it, and hoped that the producers would switch to making other films. At that time, Tom and Jerry, who were familiar to the audience, were still called Jasper and Jinx.

However, The Cat Gets the Boots, a short film with no lines and no dubbing, won the Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film that year, which became the key to the continued production of Tom and Jerry.

After the first episode aired, a contest was launched within the studio to rename the cat and mouse. John Carr's suggestion won the first prize of $50, and the happy couple got their current names: Tom and Jerry .

This name is very classic.

Similar to Li Lei and Han Meimei.

In the 1950s, traditional animated short films faced the impact of the rise of television, and Tom and Jerry also faced budget cuts, down to 1/5 of the original budget.

In 1957, MGM decided to stop the production of the Tom and Jerry short film for the first time, and then resumed it in 1961. In 1967, it stopped short film production and transformed into TV animation production.

Relevant data show that among the 114 animated short films produced by Hannah and Barbera, the original creators of the animation, for MGM, 13 were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.

In the nine years from 1943 to 1952, seven short films won awards, breaking Disney's record for consecutive awards in this category.

Although Tom and Jerry was not favored by MGM at first, it finally shined. In 1961, the Tom and Jerry series became the highest-grossing animated short film series at the time.

In 2010, MGM Films declared bankruptcy, and the IP of Tom and Jerry ushered in a change of ownership.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards.

It can be said that Tom and Jerry has been in the hands of MGM along with the ups and downs of MGM.

Together with 007, this thing has become a symbol of MGM.

Now, MGM has fallen to Huaxia Capital.

This capital neither used the acquisition of MGM to make money for itself, or speculated on the stock price, nor short-sightedly squeezed MGM's IP.

And it also left MGM with an inexhaustible cash flow-thanks to the purchase price being suppressed to a minimum by everyone's cooperation.

Cat and Teacher, which has not been valued by MGM, has been restarted again.

The new MGM high-level team is not trying to make a lot of money through this cartoon, it is not realistic at all.

They want to be able to recreate the classics.

Let more people know that MGM has not withdrawn from the Hollywood stage.

Let more people know that MGM has not become worse in the hands of Huaxia Capital.

Mr. Lin, if you think this thing is worthless, I'll tell the other side and let them work on other projects. Su Tong respected the boss very much.

Whatever the boss says.

Under normal circumstances, being a Tom and Jerry is really not as good as doing other things that are easier to make a lot of money.

Regarding the Tom and Jerry movie, MGM worked with Warner.

Warner has participated in the production or distribution of 14 films in the Tom and Jerry series.

Although MGM and Warner launch a series of movies every few years to continue and inherit this classic IP, compared to the most classic short series of Cat and Jerry, Cat and Jerry The response of the series of movies is relatively limited, and the performance of the movies in recent years is obviously uneven, and the reputation is unstable.

Naturally, the box office cannot be expected.

After being acquired, MGM intends to make short episodes and movies at the same time.

No, let's continue to be cat and mouse. Lin Dong quickly grabbed Su Tong's rein.

Not that he expected Tom and Jerry much to be a hit.

If you don’t do Tom and Jerry and do other things, the risk is greater, okay? If it is another 007 or Bohemian Rhapsody, then he will simply die.

However, Lin Dong didn't interfere at all.

He had to do some damage.
