~： 392 - Powerful People of the Year, Hollywood's Determinants: The Power Constraints

It has been a year since the release of "Batman: Time for War", and the second film will be released as early as next year's summer.

This guarantees that, after a period of over a year in the middle, the expectations of most fans have been pulled to the highest point. As long as the movie is released, Batman fans around the world will definitely be able to explode into a far more than usual episode. enthusiasm.

"Look, my little angel, your dad is going to make a lot of money again!"

A piece of "Los Angeles Daily Entertainment" newspaper was picked up by Naomi Watts and placed in front of the little guy in her arms, regardless of whether she could understand it or not, the Australian actress just wanted to share the happiness.

The entertainment newspapers on the coffee table are full of news related to The Matrix and Wayne, and she never tires of reading these reports.

''The Matrix' won the North American box office championship last week without any accident, and won the second consecutive championship since its opening. ’

This is the first movie to fall victim to Wayne's madness after the summer break this year. Thinking of the media slandering Wayne a few months ago, Naomi Watts actually felt a little more joyful. Feel.

Her stance has always been firm, and she only hopes that similar box-office tragedies will continue to occur, so that those who have ulterior motives will be told the facts and not provoke this man easily.

'No accident happened, "Hulk" in the second week of the painting did not show any improvement, this week's box office list is still dominated by "The Matrix", written and produced by Wayne Greenberg, Zach Snyder Directed "The Matrix", after last week's seven-day mad collection of 86.82 million US dollars, this weekend reported another 40.5 million US dollars in three days.

"The Matrix" temporarily ranked first in the North American annual box office chart with a score of 127 million US dollars when the summer curtain was just opened. In the face of the strong squeeze of "The Matrix", Universal Pictures invested 150 million US dollars in the big production "Hulk", which performed extremely poorly in the theater market.

Because of its rapidly collapsing audience reputation, after three days of the next weekend, it only received 12 million US dollars, which was seriously unequal to the production cost. The North American box office has just exceeded 60 million. In the forecast, the North American box office will hardly reach 100 million US dollars.

Fans do not buy into the performance of "Hulk", the North American box office is destined to be difficult to reach the cost line of 150 million US dollars, "Hulk" has begun to land in overseas markets on Friday, Universal Pictures can only hope for the film's overseas performance, come See if you can recover the production costs.

Compared with the superhero movie "Batman: Hour of War" released the previous year, the popular character "Hulk" performed a disaster. Wayne Greenberg's Batman has maintained a strong box office trend and word of mouth from the beginning to the next stage, while "Hulk" is completely the opposite.

After the first day, the box office performance dropped rapidly, and the audience's reputation was also terrible. According to the data disclosed by a third-party research company, the audience rating after watching the movie in the theater was c. Most fans said that the film imitated Batman's The traces are too heavy, and the story shooting is inexplicable, which makes people confused.

The collapse of the audience's reputation is not an accident. At the same time, the media evaluation of "Hulk" has also been criticized. We have collected more than 50 entertainment media reviews and more than 40 professional film critics. Less than ten percent...'

Even if Naomi Watts is just an actor, it can be seen from the one-sided media reports that "The Hulk" has completely hit the street, and it is impossible to pose a threat to "The Matrix" at all. The two films are investing There is a huge difference in the amount, and the effect shown is indeed not like a work on one level.

It can be found from various aspects that Universal Pictures failed this time. It can be said that it was a complete failure. The horror investment of "Hulk" is estimated to be like a thorn in the throat of Universal Pictures. Well, it will be painful.

"Deserved!"

Naomi Watts spat at the newspaper and tossed it aside with a smile on her face. Holding little Fendi and humming an unknown tune, he continued to read the rest of the newspapers happily.

Of course, she understands how much money "The Matrix" can bring to Wayne, but she understands the net worth of the child's father. It can be said that after several years of struggle, she is not short of money at all. But making money is not the first priority. She and Wayne's channel quite overlap, and what she wants to see is the unhappiness of other companies.

"Wow, look, what did Mommy find?"

Naomi Watts pulled out two beautifully packaged magazines from under a stack of newspapers, one was "Variety" by Hollywood's top film and television entertainment business information media, and the other was a movie magazine "First Time", which is more familiar to ordinary audiences. reflect".

The two top entertainment magazines were sent together because Wayne was on their respective lists at the same time.

"What are you looking at, my dear."

Just as Naomi Watts was flipping through the magazine, Wayne brought Nina in and sat on the sofa. In the eyes of the two who came in, the picture in the living room was quite happy. A beautiful woman was holding a Little ones, look down at the magazine together.

Both the big and the small eyes are staring at the page intently, the small one is still drooling unconsciously, don't care if the little guy can't understand, at least her eyes are round, and she is observing the world with curiosity.

"Premier and Variety." Naomi Watts picked up the child and shoved it into the man's arms. At the same time, she opened the two magazines and turned around so that the other party could see it clearly.

""Premier" placed you sixth in the Hollywood annual "power list" last year, and they rated you quite high. Coincidentally, "Variety" also put your name on the annual "power list" at the same time. The fifth place on the "People" list, the recognition of these two authoritative entertainment media is quite high in the circle, which shows that..."

"It doesn't explain anything, Nami."

Wayne doesn't care about the two so-called Hollywood power lists of authoritative entertainment media, two lists that best represent the power status in the circle, and at the same time ranking him in the top few, there is indeed a certain basis and persuasion, but Compared with the little guy in his arms, he obviously cares more about the latter.

"Hey, boss is someone who doesn't care about Time Magazine's annual cover person. Are these two lists more convincing than Time Magazine's annual cover person?"

Nina moved to Naomi Watts, picked up two magazines on the coffee table, and joked with the Australian actress in a mocking tone. "There are so many people in Hollywood who want to be in these two lists but can't. They just put the boss in the top few. This is a huge waste of public media resources, isn't it?"

"Nina, your bonus is gone."

Hearing the assistant's ridicule, Wayne didn't raise his head. He held a handkerchief in his hand, and concentratedly wiped the saliva from Fendi's mouth. However, as soon as he said these words, it clearly hit the other side's dead end.

"No, don't do this, please!" Nina immediately changed her tone of voice when she thought that the big prize was about to leave her. "I swear, boss, these two lists representing the power in the circle definitely underestimate your influence, they should put you first!"

Wayne tilted his head and glanced at her, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Well, I think so too, congratulations, your bonus is back."

Most people generally believe that in Hollywood, any relationship is determined by power. While power affects relationships across society, these relationships are more visible and prominent in Hollywood.

Power, as Wayne has achieved now, is often a determinant of collaborations and decisions of all kinds, and a determinant of Hollywood's entire model of work.

The annual "Power List" by the movie magazine Premiere and the annual "Power Man" by Variety, Hollywood's top film and television entertainment business news outlet, are all manifestations of this phenomenon.

In these assessments, a person's power is usually determined by his past performance or achievements in recent years. Wayne has learned that, most commonly, in Hollywood, it's not uncommon for studio lawyers to call their competitors to check a producer's "history."

In addition to the meaning of anti-monopoly, everyone in the circle agrees that your past achievements will directly affect your future worth, as well as the rights, status and remuneration you get in the next project~www.novelhall.com ~ Any other news? "Wayne turned to Naomi Watts, who knew some of the bad tastes of this woman, and especially liked to read the various reports about his films every day.

This film has caused a lot of topics and controversies, but they are still creating topics so that more passers-by and audiences can enter the theater as soon as possible, and want to drain the value of "The Matrix" before the release of "Tornado". .
