Chapter 276

"In fact, we can sit down and talk about our differences," egger said

Brockley said: "my childhood was spent in 007 locations around the world. When I was a child, my toy was not Barbie, but the printing machine on the set. In 1967, I followed my father to shoot Thunder Valley on location in Japan. Because I couldn't sleep, tatami was infected with severe pneumonia. Thanks to Sean (Connery) I was able to recover only by generously giving up the only bed of the crew. 007 is everything of the Brockley family. The great success of the golden eye, the Black Sun crisis, the Empire of tomorrow and the death of another day shows everything. No one knows better than me who is the right James Bond. "

Edgar Road: "I've never been 100% sure what Bond movies should look like. They can be thrillers or comedies. There's only one thing I'm very sure of - it's entertainment. If I remember correctly, Albert Cady Brockley said that if we don't understand movies, even the best-selling 007 movies don't seem to break 200 million, and Mark directed three films. "

Brockley said: "Casino Royale is the first and most authoritative bond novel. It is my father's ambition and dream in his life. Unfortunately, he failed to wait until the day when the novel was really put on the screen. Now we can finally do it. I am willing to regard it as a gift to heaven. I hope to use the greatest sincerity."

Egger, a pragmatist, won't eat this set. Only those Hicks who don't have 200 million works by MGM will be the lifeblood of 007 films and let eon lead by the nose. They are mm. They are as unstoppable as the rising sun. They can borrow money from the bank empty handed. It's almost impossible to win Colombia and MGM at an ultra-low price Film industry, so he hung up with confidence.

Now everyone knows that they are in the adaptation period. Once they are allowed to slow down and adapt to all this, they are formidable giant companies, so other giant companies begin to crowd them out, either explicitly or secretly. Now in egger, they all lament that their conditions are unique and their layout is ingenious. They are backed by the two thick legs of the bank family and Oracle, and with the giants of Wall Street "Collusion", in Hollywood, no one dares to attack them blatantly and unscrupulously.

Mark has deep cooperation with Warner in three major projects, all of which have blossomed and bear fruit. They are all gold mines, which makes Warner how to deal with them. Now we are both beneficial and harmful. Warner does not take action. Who else is willing to be the first bird in other companies, so there is hostility, and the really effective hostility has not yet appeared.

It took the Japanese Soni ten years to integrate into this circle. The most important thing is to deal with the exclusion of his peers. Even egger is ready to live a hard life. Unexpectedly, the living environment is unexpectedly good. Like other media trying to suppress them through publicity channels, mm has the advantage of the Internet. Google, Facebook and toutube are beginning to become powerful. They can also publicize their film works.

For example, the old giant paramount tried to suppress them with blockbuster under the parent company Viacom, and imposed a shelf promotion fee on the audio-visual products launched by mm, but refused to sell their products.

Mm will never give in. All the newly launched products pass through the anti flying bulk cargo. With this sales channel, they are not afraid of being suppressed by each other. Their Columbia film industry has Columbia home entertainment company, which has developed hundreds of franchise stores backed by its more than 800 cinemas, and is responsible for the sales of audio-visual and peripheral products in physical stores.

Egger is an old hand in this field. He also has rich contacts and loves to build channels. After mm gained a firm foothold, a large number of old departments came to invest, which greatly enriched the strength of various departments. Mm began to change from an entertainment company to a media empire.

Looking at this thriving scene, egger had to contend with eon anyway. After egger hung up Brockley, he went to MGM president Frank macaso to explain the position of the group to him.

Frank marcasso, a former Warner executive, was recruited by giancardo paretti, head of the Italian consortium, as president of MGM. MGM was auctioned by the Bank of France because paretti was accused of obtaining control of MGM by fraud.

After MacArthur joined MGM, his team then released blockbuster films such as dwarf in power and golden eye. In 1994, MGM launched "true lies" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a global box office of 370 million US dollars, and "speed of life and death" starring Keanu Levis It also created a global box office of 280 million US dollars. In 2001, the company launched Hannibal, legal beauty and startling cannibals They were all big box office sales. The total box office revenue in that year was US $450 million. Because of their good performance, after cork recaptured MGM in 1996, makasso has been retained. MGM seems to have begun to make a turnaround. In fact, only a few films made money, and most of them lost money.

In 2002, after Wu Baige's "face change" and "mission impossible 2" achieved great success, MGM hoped that the Asian action film director could also make some money for his company, so it raised 170 million yuan and completely let John Woo shoot the war blockbuster "the Whisperwind" As a result, the box office failed miserably, the company's share price plummeted, becoming one of the top ten tragedies in history, the senior management was forced to resign, and MGM entered the ranks of being auctioned again.

Makaso was recruited by the Italian consortium, and cork had the intention of changing generals for a long time. However, in those years, the film market was prosperous, makaso did well, and cork had to let him do it first. However, it has been jointly overhead by cork's son-in-law and vice president Alex. They launched makaso as a scapegoat as the person responsible for MGM's bankruptcy, Makaso served as interim caretaker president during his bankruptcy.

However, the days before yesterday were too chaotic. The Japanese Sonny bought MGM. As soon as he paid the deposit, he was sniped and directed by Wall Street giants. Then the most important film assets in their hands fell into Davis's hands.

Davis took over the two companies by force, but he was the kind of person who had empty gold mines and didn't know how to use them. He neither let makaso go nor retained him, so makaso continued to stay in office until mm bought MGM. This time he was retained by egger. Now he is a veteran of the three dynasties, which plays a very good role in stabilizing people's hearts during the transition period.

Makaso has been elevated by the gambling king's son-in-law and vice president for a long time. He has long become sleek and sophisticated. What the parent company says is what it says. Now he expects to leave with considerable resignation compensation after the completion of his term of office. He doesn't care about MM's three Vice Presidents around, and takes the initiative to cooperate with him.

He did not dare to refuse egger's orders. Although he thought 007 was MGM's last hope, he knew that even if he objected, several other vice presidents would agree. The parent company agreed to start the twilight project, which was a compensation.

The copyright of Twilight belongs to mm film, and after mm film is incorporated into MGM, the copyright naturally belongs to MGM, but no one dares to move without mark's words.

In fact, MGM only released three films in the second half of the year, and the only one that really made money was the chainsaw 2, but they were full of confidence in the running song and dance youth. The film was finished in June, and later made up some scenes. This is because MJ played a guest role and sang one of the episodes in order to show his support for his good friend Kenny, This suddenly makes the low-cost work "song and dance youth" hot. Many people think it can become a sharp tool to attract money, so they pulled out tens of millions of publicity expenses, which is higher than the production cost. The publicity activities will be launched later. They put "song and dance youth" on the Christmas file.

Now there are only two of the three brands under mm. Now who will be marvel is the same thing. Many people also suggest that it be incorporated into MGM to enrich MGM's strength? Mark disagrees. MGM is now at a historical low. To put it bluntly, it is just a large manufacturer. Apart from its brand and film library, it is not as good as Xinxian, Miramax, Pixar and other production companies. It also lacks publicity platforms, cable TV, broadband networks and other resources to become a media group, as well as peripheral derivatives distribution channels, In addition to the box office, which is DVD and TV licensing, there is little revenue in other aspects. It is difficult to make it big.

Mark has enough confidence that Marvel will greatly surpass MGM and become the most valuable company in Hollywood within ten years. It is impossible to merge into MGM. Disney has multiple brands and perform their respective duties, and MM can do the same.

Brockley had long expected that the other side would be tough, and there was nothing to panic about. She decided to let it go first. MGM relied too much on 007. When they came to an indispensable place, they could take the opportunity to ask for more benefits. MGM had undergone great changes, and Brockley thought 007 was their only way out.

In order to put pressure on each other, they announced the news after the pressure of 007 film on the company's official website. It was like a basin of ice water pouring into the hearts of enthusiastic fans. They immediately blew up their nest and asked the reasons one after another. Eon intentionally or unintentionally pushed the responsibility on mm, and mm immediately became the object for fans to vent their anger.

007 has become a popular culture. It has many fans. These fans are angry and come to MM's official website to scold. They also threaten to come to MM headquarters to demonstrate and boycott MM's products.

Looking at all her operations, Brockley is very proud. MGM will soon give in. The power of fans is not a joke. They can't beat or scold, which is enough to make mm disheartened.

However, her idea was wrong. Mm made some arrangements. Several projects they invested in were immediately tight, and the partners suspended their cooperation with them, and the bank repaid the arrears.

And mark publicly shelled eon on TV: "what Brockley will carry forward 007 film? As an entertainment film, it lost to the younger generation" professional agents "and" espionage ", Brockley's stubborn conservative style makes 007 no longer have an advantage."
