Chapter 766 Matt Damon's Fox Tail 【Subscription】
First, Richard wanted to replicate the success of Batman, so he spent a lot of money to invite the top Hollywood team, and spent 150 million US dollars to create a brand new superman movie "Superman Returns", but unfortunately, it was raised by Batman. Audiences with different tastes are completely dissatisfied with this film, which is quite satisfactory in terms of plot, special effects, plot, and performance. The investment of 150 million yuan has only recovered less than 200 million US dollars at the box office!
In this movie, Richard almost lost everything!
After the failure of Superman, Richard changed his mind and made the second wrong choice, eager to get out of trouble and stabilize his position.
He wanted to take advantage of the popularity of The Lord of the Rings, a fantasy epic masterpiece, to join in the excitement of an epic film, so this time, Richard spent 200 million US dollars and invited Hollywood's hottest niche Orlando Bloom. Actor Edward Norton and others, together created a legendary epic movie "Kingdom of Heaven".
Even the IP and the script of Yuguang were stolen from 20th Century Fox by Richard's mouth. It is not easy to offend people.
As for the results...
If the failure of Superman also left Richard a pair of underwear, then the loss of "Kingdom of Kingdom" is enough for Richard to disappear from the industry!
It's really a terrible loss, and the profit recovered is barely worth a fraction of the cost!
The only benefit this movie brought to Richard is that the people at 20th Century Fox no longer hated him or were angry with him. They even held a special celebration party after the movie hit the streets, and it was very Bitch sent an invitation to Richard..
That is, the failure of this "Kingdom of Heaven" made Richard completely lose all his right to speak at Warners! An old guy who had not appeared in front of Warners for a long time came out from behind the scenes at this time and announced that he would impeach Today's CEO Richard, temporarily relieved of all his positions and powers!
And the young man accompanying the old man was Andy Warner who had a conflict with Lin Long and was humiliated by Lin Long!
It's a game!
Their purpose is to completely drive Richard and Lin Long, who he supports, out of Warner Bros. Their cake will not have Lin Long's share!
After listening to Damon finish all this, Lin Long understood what was going on inside Warner, but he was still a little strange: "Then why did you come to me? I do have time now, and I am willing to help Richard. De restore his reputation and status, but is it too late?"
"Now if I'm going to continue to make Batman, I'm afraid Warner's executives won't agree at all! I can't get any copyright and investment at all, they obviously want Richard to die, or even completely disappear from the industry. inside!
"Who said it wasn't." Damon sighed: "We found out later, this is a trap! They forced us to lose our patience step by step, let us come back and finally take the bait, when we started filming "Kingdom of Heaven" When it happened, it was actually doomed.
"Because Richard gave up the most important editing rights in order to get the board to give him money! As a result, the director shot and cut the finished film, which lasted nearly 200 minutes, but the bastards from the board of directors were in theaters. It's actually a 140-minute version!
"It's a whole hour short. If this film doesn't lose money and doesn't get scolded in the urine, then it's weird! But Richard has no choice and no choice. He can only fight against this pot and can only say We have no one to be ruthless at all, and Richard never imagined that in order to drive him away, Warners would not want a movie with a $200 million investment! That would be 200 million! 35
・・・・For flowers・・・
Lin Long shook his head helplessly, the people of the Warner family are ruthless, hot, and decisive enough to cut a 50-minute film directly, it is really immortal, and he sighed and said: "But you still You didn't tell me why you came to me. 55
Damon smiled and said: "Didn't you just buy Marvel Studios? Don't tell me that your new company has no shortage of people! Don't you want to find a new CEO, and you don't need a few powerful people? Are the actors working with you for your new company and making a name for it?"
I see!
Lin Long looked at Damon with the fox's tail showing, and finally understood what this guy was thinking.
00......
This is to play against Warners!
Warner has the copyright of superheroes, and they have Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash, so the only one in the United States that can compete with Warner in this regard is Marvel!
If you want to take revenge, if you want to take revenge in the happiest and most relieved way, joining Marvel is undoubtedly the best choice!
"However, this is a shell company that I bought." Lin Long said: "The IPs with the most valuable fans and the most likely to be sold, such as Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, I can handle these copyrights. Not a single one! All I could shoot were second-rate stories and leftovers from other people's picks.
"Don't talk to me about that, Lin, how many years have we known each other, and I still don't know you? If it is unprofitable and there is no way, you will suddenly acquire such a sunset company that loses money in addition to IP? You are sure There are ideas, there must be super ideas waiting for us to not lose to the Dark Knight! Say it, say it, what do you need us to do."
Lin Long looked at Matt Damon's self-confidence, and wondered if this guy had crossed over from another time line, otherwise, how could he be so confident in a bunch of heroes below the third rate? Zhang.
