Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Anne Winslet is the niece of Warner President Steve Bewkes, and her status is no worse than Hanks.

This Warner is not Michael Eisner's Warner Films, but the parent company behind it, the entertainment media empire Time Warner.

Michael Eisner is at best a shareholder of Warner, and cannot be compared with Steve Bewkes in any aspect.

Although in terms of assets, Stehr is not afraid of Time Warner, and even far exceeds it, but still no one is willing to be an enemy of Time Warner, because they have the biggest weapon --- publicity.

There are their branches in every region of the world. If they are really an enemy of Time Warner, unless Steer makes no mistakes, as long as they catch a trace, they will spread to the world at the fastest speed. Steer Er is in big trouble.

Of course, this does not mean that Stehr will be afraid of Time Warner.

Unless the two large multinational companies encounter conflicts that cannot be resolved, they will generally resolve disputes through negotiations.

Anne Winslet smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I usually like to be quiet. Goodbye everyone."

After speaking, Anne Winslet, accompanied by assistants and bodyguards, got into a luxury car and left the theater.

Hanks looked at the slowly leaving car, with a hint of lewdness in his eyes, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must get this woman full of infinite charm.

Chapter 1024 Battle

There are only three premiere nights of "Battle of the Red Cliff" and "Assassin". If you want to know the box office, you can only wait until three o'clock at night.

Xiao Yunhai didn't want to wait, but he couldn't stand the demands of Wu Zixu, Wang Guoan and others, so he could only play poker with him.

At this time, the Internet was already raging, and the publicity before "Battle of the Red Cliff" VS "Assassin" was vigorous, stirring up the entire European and American film industry to be restless, and all fans who watched these two films were discussing it extremely enthusiastically.

"The killing method in "Assassin" is simply too cool, cool in a word."

"The upstairs obviously only watched "Assassin" and not "Battle of the Red Cliff". I think Huaxia's war-themed movie is magnificent and majestic. Compared with "Assassin", the layout is a bit stingy."

"I dare say that the upstairs is either a sailor hired by Kung Fu Xiao, or a fanatic of Kung Fu Xiao. The layout of "Assassin" is small, my God, I can't believe it."

""Assassin" is a pure commercial film in Hollywood, and "Battle of Red Cliff" is both literary and commercial. I think "Assassin" should be stronger than "Battle of Red Cliff" in terms of box office, but in terms of artistry, I am from "Chibi War" "Battle" smells of several Oscars."

"I haven't watched "Assassin", so it's hard to say, but I watched "Battle of the Red Cliff", and I feel that every character in it is portrayed vividly. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, all of them are excellent in acting. I dare say, in In this regard, "Assassin" is definitely not as good as "Battle of the Red Cliff."

"Why are you talking about those useless things? I like "Assassin" because Anne Winslet's performance in it is really great. She is indeed the girl of my dreams."

"Those upstairs should watch "Battle of the Red Cliff". In it, Zhou Yu's wife, Xiao Qiao, is also unbelievably beautiful."

On Rotten Tomatoes, "Battle of the Red Cliff" scored 7.9 points, and "Assassin" scored 7.4 points.

A well-known five-star film critic published a lengthy post on it, which was retweeted like crazy.

"In February, when there are so many bad movies, I was fortunate enough to watch two very good movies, and I felt very good. First of all, I would like to talk about "Assassin", which is a movie labeled as an authentic Hollywood action movie. The combination of a male and a beautiful woman once again proves the success of this form. Here, I would like to highlight the performance of Anne Winslet, a girl who is devoted to literary and artistic films. In commercial films, she is no less than any big name Actress. Especially her skill is very good. It is unbelievable to hear that no substitute is used in it. With both acting skills and skill, a world-class star may be on the rise."

"It's just that this movie doesn't jump out of the box of Hollywood action movies. It can be regarded as new wine in old bottles at best, and thanks to the various killing methods designed by the screenwriter, it makes movie fans feel a kind of thrill and excitement. If I If you score, it should be 7.2 points."

"After watching "Assassin", I immediately walked into the theater of "Battle of the Red Cliff". No wonder Mr. Xiao dared to confront Paramount head-on. I have to say that "Battle of the Red Cliff" gave me a big surprise. Although Hollywood There are many war movies, but "Battle of the Red Cliff" is completely different from them. The momentum is magnificent, the scenes are spectacular, and the performances of the actors are unbelievable. Almost all of them have the strength of actor-level. Although some are just It was a glimpse, but it still surprised me."

"The film not only has war scenes, but also involves politics, economy, culture and other aspects behind the war. Conspiracies and tricks are endless. People have to admire the expression of China, which has a history of 5000 years, which is far stronger. than any other war film."

"What impresses me the most is the various battles between the two sides. Although our Hollywood movies are also majestic, when we get to the battlefield, we often fight on our own. The focus is on individuals, and then we pull a long shot to express ourselves The momentum is over. But "Battle of Red Cliff" focuses on the cooperation of the army. All kinds of unimaginable but reasonable battle formations are dazzling, and the overall ability is maximized. I think this is the real war in the era of cold weapons In miniature, it is estimated that the number of group actors used may reach 2000 people. This is something that we in Hollywood have never done."

"However, this movie has a strong sense of history and vicissitudes, and it is not entertaining enough. It may be less attractive to young movie fans than "Assassin". But for us old pedants, it is a very good-looking movie. movie of."

"If I had to rate it, I'd give it an 8.1."

...............

Although "Battle of the Red Cliff" is at a disadvantage in the European and American markets, its reputation is higher than that of "Assassin", which makes the final results of the two films somewhat confusing.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Xiao Yunhai's cell phone on the table finally rang.

Everyone put down the poker in their hands, and looked over in unison.

Xiao Yunhai picked up the phone and asked, "Raul, how much is the box office of "Battle of the Red Cliff"?"

Raul said: "Boss, after detailed statistics, "Battle of the Red Cliff" won 360 US dollars, which is a very good result."

Since "Battle of the Red Cliff" is a Chinese movie, the major theaters are relatively conservative in their screenings. Only MGM Cinemas, for Xiao Yunhai's sake, gave 40.00% of the screenings.

Xiao Yunhai asked: "Then how much is the box office of "Assassin"?"

Laughton paused, and said: "300 million US dollars, their production volume is much higher than ours."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "There is no need to explain, I am very clear that they not only have a high number of films, but also have a far higher attendance rate than us. There is no way, who let them occupy the home field advantage."

Lauer said: "However, their score on Tomato.com is not high, only 7.4 points, while "Battle of Chibi" has 7.9 points."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You don't need to comfort me. Well, Raul, you should go to bed early too."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai talked about the box office. Hearing such a result, Wu Zixu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, as long as the box office can exceed 3000 million U.S. dollars that night, "Battle of the Red Cliff" still has hope, and 5000 million U.S. dollars is naturally no problem.

Wu Zixu asked: "How much box office did "Assassin" get?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "It's more than 9000 million, almost broke [-] million. Director Wu, don't worry about it, our "Battle of the Red Cliff" has already paid back, and "Assassin" has just started. Although their data is relatively We look good, but our word of mouth is higher than theirs, so it's hard to say whether we will win or lose. Well, let's go to rest."

Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, major networks, TV, newspapers, magazines and other media reported on the battle between the two films.

"'Red Cliff' hits opening night, earns $5000 million, but still loses to Paramount's 'Assassin'."

"Paramount's film "Assassin" earned US$300 million in three films in Europe and America, far surpassing Kung Fu Xiao's US$400 million."

""Assassin" VS "Battle of the Red Cliff", won the box office, but lost word of mouth."

.........................

At noon of the next day, the global box office of the premiere night of "Assassin" was also counted. Under Paramount's vigorous publicity regardless of cost, the three films scored a super high score of 2.458 million US dollars, becoming the first in February. The movie with the highest box office in the night is far more than No. 21.54 billion.

Naturally, Paramount would not let go of this good opportunity, and Hanks stepped up his publicity again, frantically hyping "Assassin" while suppressing "Battle of the Red Cliff".

And Xiao Yunhai was not to be outdone, and posted the transcripts of the premiere night in Asia. When the two were added together, fans were surprised to find that "Battle of the Red Cliff" was even higher than "Assassin".

On June 29th, "Battle of the Red Cliff" was screened for seven times, and all major theaters increased his film schedule by 2.15%. The box office in Europe and the United States took in a terrifying 2.67 million US dollars, and "Assassin" was even more terrifying. The box office is 4.89 million, and the global box office is [-] million US dollars.

Although "Battle of the Red Cliff" lost the box office, its score on Rotten Tomatoes has not decreased but increased, reaching 8.12 points, while "Assassin" only has 7.24 points.

On June 2.37, under the influence of high word-of-mouth, "Battle of the Red Cliff" earned 2.54 million U.S. dollars, "Assassin" got 4.29 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was [-] million.

To everyone's surprise, a small-budget movie "Black Humor" with an investment of only more than 800 million U.S. dollars, under the attack of two blockbusters, actually won a box office of 200 million U.S. dollars on the opening night.The score on Rotten Tomatoes surpassed that of "Battle of the Red Cliff" for the first time, reaching 8.39 points.

This surprised people in the industry who didn't care about the movie "Black Humor", and went to the cinema to watch it the next day.
