The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 1109 Leap of Faith

Perhaps that sentence is true, movies are the spiritual sustenance to escape from reality.

The economic crisis in the United States is intensifying, and the Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge have already rained human meat dumplings, but the North American film market has ushered in a very successful summer.

Not only Relativity Entertainment, but also blockbuster films released by other companies have achieved good results.

Twentieth Century Fox was certainly not among them.

Compared with other industries, although the film industry has also been impacted, life in Hollywood is relatively easy, at least few people commit suicide.

Look quickly! Look quickly! Someone in the restaurant yelled: Someone jumped off the building on the other side!

This is the restaurant on the first floor of the Theory of Relativity Building. Many people went out to watch the excitement. Even Ronan and Jessica Felton, who were sitting by the window, looked over there one after another.

On the building opposite the Theory of Relativity Building, someone could be seen standing outside the guardrail on the top floor, and a tie was fluttering in the air, like the blessing of death.

Jessica Felton put down the knife and fork, looked over there and said, It's too much to think about.

Ronan picked up a tissue and wiped his hands, and said, To live, you have to face huge debts, your house and car will be taken away, and your wife will even run away. When you die, you will be able to settle everything.

After all, Jessica Felton grew up in this country, and she didn't have much sympathy. Those who were forced to jump off the building were all ambitious speculators.

Unfortunately, the result of speculation failure is often very tragic.

Ronan sighed softly: What day is it this month?

I can't remember. Jessica Felton shook her head slightly and said, I heard that the building opposite is mostly companies that play stocks and bonds.

Ronan understood: Yeah, so in the face of an economic crisis, this group of people will not be able to hold on first.

Jessica Felton suddenly thought of something, and said to Ronan: Your side...

Although the words were not finished, Ronan understood what it meant and said, Don't worry. Cherish life and stay away from financial drugs.

You. Jessica Felton didn't know what to say. Seeing a police car parked in front of the building with its siren flashing, she said, The police are here.

Ronan glanced at the police car,

Can't help shaking his head slightly.

The police in the United States do not have the obligation to rescue. The more widely spread operation is to prevent suicides by directly shooting and killing suicides.

The tie falls to the ground, and the leap of faith occurs...

Ronan gave Jessica Felton a hand to turn her around and said, Come on, let's go back, it's time to go to work.

Jessica Felton didn't want to watch the tragic scene of falling to the ground, so she followed Ronan directly through the side door of the restaurant and returned to the front hall of the Relativity Building.

Maybe too many people have committed suicide recently, and there are not too many chaotic voices outside, maybe many people are used to it.

For the onlookers, in this terrible economic crisis, maybe they will become the next person to take a leap of faith.

This is not the first time Ronan has seen a suicide wave. He experienced it once when the Internet bubble burst.

It can only be said that the anti-risk ability of Americans or families is generally low.

The economic crisis triggered by the real estate market and the financial industry finally exploded like a powder keg.

Although the Washington authorities came to rescue the market in person, the help to ordinary people was limited, and the real benefits still fell into the hands of the Wall Street group.

However, Wall Street has also been hit hard, and the situation of major companies is generally not good.

In this environment, no one on Wall Street can stay out of it.

But some companies can survive the most difficult stage, and after recovering their blood, they start to make a lot of money again, and finally become relative winners.

Where there are winners, there will naturally be losers.

There are some companies that have come to the end of their history.

Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy after the Federal Reserve refused to provide financial support assistance, and on the same day Merrill Lynch announced that it was acquired by Bank of America.

AIG, the world's largest insurer, is also struggling to survive. While the U.S. government chose to take over AIG to stabilize the market, it expressed its helplessness to other financial institutions.

This is only part of the outbreak of the crisis, affected by the financial market, the stock market began to turmoil.

By mid-September, the only two remaining investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, had to apply to the Federal Reserve to transform into a bank holding company to avoid risks.

With the transformation of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley into commercial banks, the traditional term Wall Street investment bank disappeared as a historical term.

The federal government and the Federal Reserve have proposed a series of rescue programs, but they have caused public dissatisfaction.

Ordinary Americans are strongly opposed to the government’s aid plan. They believe that the big banks first advocated capitalist-style laissez-faire expansion, but now that something happened, they demanded that the capitalists save the big banks with money from the national treasury in a socialist way. Unemployment, broken credit and losing your home.

This also laid the groundwork for the future Occupy movement early.

It's a pity that this is a country belonging to capital, and movements like Occupy Wall Street can't play much role.

We can't expect the capitalists on Wall Street to find out with their conscience. It's better to count on Ronan to help people all over the world.

In terms of Hollywood, although the film market has performed well this year, dragged down by the economic crisis, the stock prices of major Hollywood listed companies seem to have fallen on a waterfall, falling continuously, and there is no end in sight. The six major Hollywood companies The market value has shrunk a lot, and it continues to shrink.

Relativity Entertainment, which has not been listed, has relatively little impact, and good news continues.

For example, after nearly four months of screenings, Avatar has accumulated a North American box office of 731.2 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of more than 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. It is not a problem to reach the previous height.

The film's box office share has been credited to the account one after another. The box office has not only recovered all the investment, but also made a profit of nearly 300 million US dollars.

Since the show is not over, it is not impossible to achieve a box office profit of 500 million US dollars.

But with the success of Avatar, the same bad things that must happen to Hollywood hit movies have once again appeared.

Bryant Moore, a science fiction writer from Maryland, sued Disney and James Cameron in the District Court of Maryland for plagiarizing two of his scripts on Avatar and sued James Cameron for breach of contract and fraud. Mellon and the producer, Shahai Entertainment, filed a claim of up to $300 million in damages.

This makes people very speechless. Behind every big-selling movie, there are always countless plagiarized people.

It cannot be said that these people are all fake. After all, situations like The Matrix and Inception borrowed from other works also happen in Hollywood from time to time.

Not to mention the Hunger Games.

Relativity Entertainment responded with a consistent attitude. James Cameron paid close attention and even accepted a video interview on a scientific research ship in the Pacific Ocean: Since the success of Terminator 2, I have seen too many people like this. I said a long time ago that Avatar is my most precious asset, and it is a project that I cultivated with my own hands. From the beginning of this idea to the actual generation of a concept and development into a movie, it took me decades.

It doesn't matter whether this statement is true or not, because no matter it is true or not, Relativity Entertainment will treat it as true.

James Cameron is not talking empty words, he released the drafts of the 1990s, one of which is a sketch during the shooting of the big ship. The big tree painted on the picture is infinitely close to the prototype of the tree of life on the planet Pandora.

In fact, Hollywood movies have developed to the present. In any movie, if you look carefully, you can always find specious shadows of other works.

The second installment of Relativity Entertainment's second cinematic universe, Universe of Horror, opened on the third weekend of September.

The Conjuring directed by James Wen opened in North America with 3,560 theaters.

Because of the connection to Insidious, the film has a stronger audience base than the previous one, and the Warrens became stars after Insidious was released.

This is beneficial, the gimmick adapted from reality is conducive to the promotion of The Conjuring.

There are also downsides, and there are endless people who question the Warrens.

Many people called the Warrens two liars, because few of the cases they investigated were tenable. Many people under investigation sued the couple afterwards, saying that they made up a bunch of stories about themselves to make money. Several of those who were not prosecuted were later investigated and had a history of drug abuse. The testimony of such witnesses has no credibility at all.

There is also the house in the promotion of The Conjuring, the prototype is now inhabited, and nothing is going on.

The so-called real adaptation, only 20% of it is real, and the remaining 80% is all about making up.

How beneficial is it in publicity?

Compared with The Blair Witch and the like, the publicity of The Conjuring is definitely far higher than the line of conscience.

The Conjuring is a typical haunted house horror film. Haunted house and exorcism are the two pillars of horror films, which can be regarded as the eternal source of horror films. Moreover, haunted houses can logically transition to ghost possession and so on, which is easier to attract audiences.

In order to create the effect of adapting real events, echo the easter eggs in Latent, and lead to the third work of Horror Universe, The Conjuring took a few minutes to tell the story of Annabelle, which is more real doll,

What followed was another story entirely. Annabel's real doll story for a few minutes was used to pave the way for the following unreal stories to make them seem more real.

The Conjuring implements the director James Winner's concept of fusion of Eastern and Western horror cultures. The whole film is full of retro flavor, no plasma, no reversal, no surprises, even the ghost faces are vague, only dark and closed Space and sound effects create a sense of horror that is more real, a complete style of the 1970s.

This film also paves the way for the subsequent development of the horror universe, such as the Annabelle doll that has been featured several times in close-up, and the weird music box and so on.
