Chapter 342. [Heir to the Throne](1/2)
In the history of North American movies, the current record holder for the highest box office is "Titanic" directed by great director James Cameron, with a total global box office of more than 1.9 billion US dollars!
But now, "Iron Man", the first sci-fi blockbuster directed by Yi Feiyang, has used the power of the Internet to gross a staggering $1.5 billion in box office!
It seems that Yi Feiyang has become the most powerful challenger to the great director Cameron!
If Cameron claims to be the "King of the World", then the newly risen Yi Feiyang is the most powerful "successor to the throne"!
But before that, as soon as this terrifying data was released, the entire United States immediately became excited.
Those who originally criticized "Iron Man" immediately changed their focus and gave the film more positive and praising reviews.
"Aha, God, I have long said that the drama "Iron Man" will have a very gorgeous reversal. Now let's see if it has happened! It can be said that this drama is perfect, everything you can imagine.
, Unexpected things are all in this movie. In my opinion, it has the best battle scenes and scenes ever, and is interspersed with the humor of the whole movie, giving people the urge to watch it again. Robert Downey Jr. plays
Tony Stark is definitely a classic character comparable to Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"
…
"When I close my eyes now, in front of me are scenes of unforgettable classic scenes from the movie just now. Not to mention Iron Man's MARK3 armor, which has an industrial aesthetic and is like a work of art, but also Cage's MARK1 war beast.
The scenes of rampaging through downtown Los Angeles, as well as his rhino-like shuttle through the chaos of war, destroying buildings, and even the final showdown between the two steel demons on the ruins of the city... are all unforgettable. He even sang the tunes of the soundtrack at that time.
You can even hum it.”
…
"Some scenes in big-budget movies will indeed feel grand and beautiful when you watch them, but you will have forgotten them before you even walk out of the cinema. Others will be remembered for a long, long time. You can recall them all the time, and you will learn something every time you recall them.
Feeling, recalling the shock and emotion at that time. This is because those big scenes not only have exciting special effects and scenes, but more importantly, those wonderful scenes have unforgettable characters, rather than simply those scenes that leave memories
, such as this "Iron Man"!"
…
""Iron Man" may not be the greatest movie, but it completely surpasses previous similar themes. You must know that this is Magic Young's first super blockbuster in the United States. He defeated all previous doubts in a shocking way.
, my question now is, where is his limit?"
…
And when on the morning of the last day of this summer vacation, today's daily reports were sent to various newspapers and magazines, almost all the film review columns were full of praise for "Iron Man".
Billy Ford, a columnist for the Chicago Reader, commented:
"From an entertainment and business perspective, this is a movie that makes people excited, exciting, and endlessly memorable; from an artistic perspective, it is a film worthy of careful interpretation and taste. The plot describes the nature of war and force.
It’s very practical, I give him an A+!”
"I think "Iron Man" is a seemingly simple but extremely profound epic masterpiece. It is difficult for me to imagine that this movie was shot by a director from China. If someone told him that it was shot by Spielberg,
I will definitely believe it..." "Chicago Sun-Times" film reviewer Richard Seaman;
"Los Angeles Times" guest film critic Robbie Eyre:
"This movie called "Iron Man" expresses a new meaning to a traditional theme, far beyond the level in the original comics. Robert Downey Jr., under the guidance of Yi Feiyang, showed an unprecedented restraint.
As for his acting skills, he is starting to transform from a self-destructive drug addict to a truly shaping acting master. Yi Feiyang can make him turn around and be even better than Martin Scorsese!"
…
Glory and applause. Praise and praise surged in beyond the previous ridicule and ridicule.
This is real Hollywood!
This is the reality of Hollywood!
Regarding the shocking reversal at the box office of Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man", Colombia's acting president Abbas almost went crazy.
As for the great director Sam Raimi, he just sighed and said: "I knew it would be like this sooner or later, but I didn't expect it would come so soon!"
As for Sony Morita Akio, the boss behind Colombia, he was even furious after hearing the news.
But what is more shocking or scary at this time is the entire American film industry. Why? Because Yi Feiyang replaced traditional movie theaters with the terrible Internet!
Just imagine, if this terrible pattern continues to ferment, what will be the consequences?
Tens of thousands of movie theaters across the United States will face the challenge of the Internet. The income of movie theaters will be greatly reduced, and some will even go bankrupt. People will lose their jobs. The original rules and systems of the film industry will be broken. The more developed the network is, the more bankrupt the theater chains will be, and the stocks will plummet.
, company destruction, suicide, jumping off a building... in short, the consequences are terrible!
Of course, it's just the beginning now, and it hasn't gotten out of hand yet. As long as we nip this trend in the cradle, then there will be no problem! Everyone thinks so, everyone hopes so. But this
Who is the source of this incident? It’s Yifeiyang! It’s Fantasy Entertainment!
After understanding and clarifying this point, people began to investigate, hoping that major websites would put aside their relationship with Fantasy Entertainment from now on. In short, this kind of cooperation can only happen once! Yes, if it happens a few more times, the world will be in chaos!
But what everyone didn't expect was that according to the investigation, Fantasy Entertainment had signed such a three-year contract with major Internet companies in the world!
In other words, within three years, Fantasy Entertainment can completely ignore the safety and survival of theaters and work together with websites to create an agreement to watch movies online.
How could this be possible?!
It must be stopped!
This time, Abbas, who is the North American Film Association, was pushed out by the big guys again. Abbas, who was still immersed in failure, had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Yi Feiyang.
But Yi Feiyang doesn’t care about him at all!
I didn’t even meet him. Abbas was a complete failure!
At this time, Abbas's breach of trust and failure, as well as his own scandals, etc., broke out in a concentrated manner. The Film Association cast a vote of no confidence in him. The people also criticized him deeply. Under such circumstances, the man who once served as his behind-the-scenes
The Colombian company that is a financial supporter also issued a statement and removed Mr. Abbas from his position as acting president of Colombia!
Yes, he was completely abandoned!
Poor Abbas went from being a phoenix to a chicken. And at home, because of his scandal, his wife started to divorce him again...
For Abbas, his glory and glory have become a thing of the past, and now he no longer has any strength to fight against Yi Feiyang.
He is a complete loser!
…
"Hey, man! You don't know yet, but Fox has just taken the lead and decided to join forces with Disney, Warner, Universal, MGM and Paramount to block Columbia and not allow anyone in the industry to take on Columbia's films. Otherwise, they will be punished
These big companies have joined forces to block it!"
"What kind of news is this to you? Let me tell you, this whole thing was caused by Abbas. Do you remember how Abbas got into the industry? Because he joined Sony, the company behind Colombia, and became the chairman of the Film Association.
As the interim president of Colombia. Now that he has failed, the six major companies will of course step on him! After all, Colombia is controlled by the Japanese. Americans have been unhappy with these Japanese guys for a long time!"
"If you put it like that, I understand. This time when Colombia, controlled by the Japanese, goes to war with Fantasy Entertainment, controlled by the Chinese, these six major companies will step aside and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and then reap the benefits!"
"That's it. Whether it's Colombia or Fantasy Entertainment, they are all outsiders to the United States. No matter who loses the war, they will be severely trampled by the six major companies!"
"Ah, I didn't expect the Hollywood entertainment industry to be so dark!"
"It's not darkness, it's reality! The water here is too deep, and laymen like you and I can't understand it at all! In short, Colombia and Abbas are the unlucky ones!"
…
Three days later, everyone in the entire industry knew that the six major Hollywood film companies, led by Fox, had joined forces to drive out Columbia Group. No one dared to take on Columbia's film, because everyone knew what the consequences would be.
In fact, even if it is accepted, there is no way to sell it to Europe and Asia, it can only be sold locally, which is of no benefit to the actors.
The vigorous beating of the lost dog gave the Sony company behind Colombia a headache. The boss Akio Morita never thought that he had just lost a war, but it seemed like he had lost the entire world. In order to save Colombia, let it be restored.
It seems like it takes a lot of effort to raise the flag.
First, Sony once again contacted the reformed Motion Picture Association of America, claiming that the Japanese would never interfere in any decision-making of Columbia Pictures in the future. Columbia was still led by native-born Americans, and Sony was only maintaining financial assistance in the rear.
.
Sony's submission and weakness allowed Colombia to escape the disaster. However, as the scapegoat, Abbas, the former acting president and chairman of the Film Association, was once again singled out and criticized. He was called a "traitor" by the Americans.
Called a "morally corrupt guy" by movie fans.
Abbas collapsed! This time he really collapsed!
God! Actors and filmmakers across the United States have drawn a clear line with him and stopped talking to him. And the film companies that had flattered him in the past even turned him away, and no one was willing to accept him.
Abbas is miserable. He never knew that making a movie would be so difficult. Now he regrets it very much. If he didn't fight for a little victory and revenge, he would have won a lot of victories.
What he didn't expect even more was that the guys he once looked down on would abandon him and laugh at him. He had really become a worthless prop!
He had heard what Yi Feiyang said: "Whoever loses his pants in the end may be someone else!" He didn't believe it before, but now he believes it. Now he understands that power is not enough in the film industry.
of.
The Hollywood entertainment industry is a complex web of relationships. In addition to the seven major film companies, there are also Fantasy, Lions Gate, Dimensions, New Line... and even some small companies that I look down on at all. Originally, I relied on big companies.
He would easily defeat those small companies. But the result was that all the guns were pointed at him!
He didn't deserve to lose. But he had to admit that he did lose. Because he was the one who provoked Yi Feiyang first, and Yi Feiyang never responded. This does not mean that Yi Feiyang has nothing to do, but that Yi Feiyang
I don’t want to touch him for the time being. Once Yi Feiyang has such an idea, it will be easy to defeat him. Just like this time, the outcome will be decided in one round, but in the end, he lost!
After receiving the news of Colombia's disastrous defeat, Yi Feiyang smiled because Colombia had lost its recognition in the industry and was losing money every day if it continued like this. And the actions of the six major companies to beat the loser were also within Yi Feiyang's expectation. Even
Yi Feiyang knew very clearly that if he was the loser this time, the result of Fantasy Entertainment would be worse than Colombia!
Hollywood in the United States will never allow film companies controlled by outsiders to become bigger and stronger. Columbia is Japanese and Fantasy Entertainment is Chinese. For the six major companies, these are all enemies!
To be continued...
