Movie Master

'The day after tomorrow' won the championship again, and 'Troy' suffered a double defeat.

Jason Berkeley's eyes stayed on the headlines of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, as if fixed by glue. The bright and dazzling headlines seemed to be truly staged the fall of an empire, magnificent and pathetic. Shocking the soul, there is a sense of powerlessness spontaneously.

Ryan Kavalaugh was sitting on the opposite boss chair, and his usual upright and majestic sitting posture seemed a little sluggish at this moment. The stiff shoulder line revealed his true mood at this time, and he rubbed the chin of his clothes vigorously , tried to wipe the sweat off his palms, but failed, which made him more irritable, cursing violently and roughly, Damn dog/shit! Could it be that even Cliff can't help it?

Tucker Toure was also in a terrible mood at this time, scratched his head hard, and returned angrily, The situation is already like this, do you want Cliff to open his eyes and talk nonsense? The 'Los Angeles Times' is not our queen. Garden! After finishing speaking, he raised his head and glared at Ryan, then turned back hesitantly, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still upset, and pushed back directly, Even Warner Bros. and Plan B Pictures No way, what do you think I can do!

The Los Angeles Times article was written by Cliff Robinson. It can be seen from just one headline that even the Los Angeles Times is powerless. Facing the sky-high box office curve of The Day After Tomorrow and the suicidal performance of Troy, even Cliff- Robinson wanted to cover for Troy, but he was more than capable. Therefore, the Los Angeles Times also had to cater to the market, leaving a footnote for the box office war that ignited enthusiasm across the United States.

Seeing this title, Ryan and Tucker's mood was really like a rainstorm in December in London, cold and humid, foggy and dark. But for Jason, his mood was even more turbulent, almost out of control.

Did Lance really predict this day would come? Did Lance really know that Troy would be a box office flop? Did Lance really dig a trap on purpose for them to jump into? From Harry Potter to Pirates of the Caribbean, from Troy to The Day After Tomorrow...all of them seem to be real fables, and the astonishingly accurate vision makes people shudder.

Jason's mind was full of complicated thoughts, but he couldn't find an exit. Recalling the conversation with Lance at the Chinese/Chinese Theater a few days ago, Jason felt a constant chill deep in his heart, and that kind of fear forced him to the corner, and the fear that swarmed from all directions made his skin appear Goosebumps made him chatter his teeth uncontrollably.

Looking up, Jason looked at Ryan and Tucker, but he was still struggling in his heart. He didn't know whether he should tell them his guess; he didn't know what would happen next; he didn't know , Who are they facing.

Ryan didn't notice Jason's upset at this time, he just opened the newspaper on the desktop irritably. Just as he wished, the name and poster of Troy appeared on the entertainment pages of almost all newspapers, but it was not in the way he expected. When all the media mentioned Troy, they all sighed and sighed - imagine , Even the Los Angeles Times had to defect, so what about other media?

In fact, the North American box office rankings in the second week of May cannot be said to be the most anticipated one-because almost everyone is sure that Troy will win the championship, and the focus of attention is completely inferior to that of Shrek 2 vs. Troy, but when the list came out, it caused a seismic sensation-just because the ending was beyond everyone's imagination.

Ryan took the Los Angeles Times in front of Jason, and carefully looked at the weekend box office list this week. The day after tomorrow completed an incredible two consecutive championships with a score of 47.9 million. Troy came in second with just a slight gap of $900,000.

After these two works, Mean Girls, Rage to the Rescue, Breakup Manual, Girls Dream Thirty, New York Moment, Law of Attraction, Kill Bill, Ultimate Cheap Target Ranked third to tenth respectively.

In fact, except for the newly released Troy and Breakup Manual this week, the other rankings on this list are basically the same as last week, and there is not much difference. The best performer of this week is undoubtedly Mean Girls. With the box office competition of the two works stealing all the attention, the box office drop of Mean Girls was only 25%. This small-cost work has already started to enter the profit-making stage.

However, Ryan's attention finally fell on the champion and the runner-up. It is unimaginable that the cumulative box office of The Day After Tomorrow has reached 170 million in just two weeks!

170 million, what does this mean? This means that The Day After Tomorrow will not only surpass The Perfect Storm and become the disaster movie with the best box office performance since Titanic; Doing well at the box office, The Day After Tomorrow will be the first disaster movie since Titanic to turn a profit at the box office; that means another big win for Lance's second feature, and it's still going against the odds. Among them, the box office exploded!

This means that Chaos Films once again gained the upper hand in the head-to-head confrontation with Diorama Films.

From Oscar's dark horse prancing to the summer's explosive counterattack, Chaos Pictures completed the triple jump from nobody to small achievement in less than three months. Although it is said that Chaos Films has only released two works so far and can only be regarded as a third-tier film production company, Diorama Films still maintains a huge advantage; but the speed of its rise is enough to make everyone look sideways. The film industry spent three years painstakingly managing the situation, and Chaos Film Industry completed it within three months.

If it develops at this speed, Ryan can hardly imagine what the ending will be.

Wow! Ryan couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, and rubbed the newspaper in his hands. Not only did the anger in his heart not vent, but he suppressed it to the extreme, so that his hands began to tremble slightly, Calm down! , we need to calm down. Ryan said, the tense voice was full of disturbing emotions, We can't mess around, think about it. A work that lost. As a sequel to the previous work with excellent reputation, coupled with a strong cast, Ocean's Twelve is indeed a work that will not fail, just like Shrek 2.

And then at the awards season at the end of the year we have 'Hotel Rwanda', and as long as it works well, it's very easy to get a place in the awards season. Nominations, we only need nominations, and Diorama can continue to remain in the art film field. advantage! Hotel Rwanda is the work that Jason negotiated on the night of the Oscars, and the movie is currently being shot in full swing, and Diorama Films is focusing its energy on this work.

Ryan's calm words rekindled hope in Tucker's eyes. From City of God to The Day After Tomorrow, they have suffered so many blows that they have almost forgotten that Diorama Films still has a huge advantage, and Chaos Films wants to catch up. There is still a long way to go, they should not panic, at least they should not lose their composure.

What's more, 'Shrek 2' will be released next week, and the decline of all movies will not be too low. He wants to hit 300 million, and he has to ask 'Shrek 2' or 'Harry Potter' Agree or disagree! Ryan's fists were clenched completely, and his body began to tremble slightly. This is the summer vacation, and if the day after tomorrow wants to achieve sky-high results, he not only needs to face a competitor of Troy, Therefore, the battle is not over yet, and it is not the value that Ryan upholds to bow his head and say defeat now, We will then transfer our main publicity positions to foreign countries, especially Europe. Relying on overseas box office, we can not only recover costs, but even realize Profit is not out of the question!

But, what if Lance expected all of this. Jason finally couldn't bear it, interrupted Ryan's impassioned and ambitious, and opened his mouth to express his worries, which made both Ryan and Tucker Looked over suspiciously, I mean, what if Lance expected 'Troy' to fail at the box office from the beginning, so when we intervened, he gave up easily. All of this, it's just a trap ?”

Jason's words were light but heavy, and they pressed hard on the chests of Ryan and Tucker, making people breathless, You're crazy! Tucker yelled in disbelief, his eyes full Filled with suspicion and anger.

Jason looked back without showing any weakness, Have you forgotten? 'Harry Potter', 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? If you need, I can give more examples!

Tucker opened his mouth, but couldn't refute at all, and then his feet were still trembling slightly, and finally fell weakly on the chair, dazed.

Ryan, who was sitting on the seat, was also stunned. After recalling it carefully, his body began to shiver, and he was terrified when he thought about it. The strong rise of City of God, the unfathomable box office trend of The Day After Tomorrow, and the falling into the abyss of Troy... All these strange events, each detail, hit us like a blizzard. It was obviously a hot summer, but the whole office seemed to be in a world of ice and snow. The bone-piercing cold made people breathless, and even the heart was paralyzed.

Ouch, a muffled sound broke the ice in the office, Ryan knelt down on the ground, pointed at the trash can next to him, and began to vomit crazily, Ouch... His entire stomach was overwhelmed, and he couldn't stop. Can't stop.
