There are few sequels in Hollywood, and few have a reputation that surpasses the previous work after its release. There are many reasons why this common situation occurs, but sequels are difficult to meet the expectations of movie fans. This is a headache for many film companies.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment when the film starts to be released on a large scale and fans find that they cannot meet expectations. In the short term, it will affect the box office trend of the film, make the film not meet the expectations of the film company, and the long-term impact will be greater. Even a film with a broken reputation will have an immeasurable impact on subsequent works.

What Shirley Lansing is most looking forward to is that this happens on Warner Bros. Specifically, it is on "The Flash". A Greenber-style superhero that movie fans around the world are looking forward to. If you find that this movie does not meet the expectations of most people after it is released, that kind of scene must be very exciting, right?

"Ms. Lansing, I am very grateful to Paramount for giving me the opportunity to perform, but I must remind you that he is Wayne Greenberg! Although I personally don't like him very much, I have to admit that he has never deviated from the public's appetite in terms of market control and fan tastes, even those videos that were violent to the point of being flesh and blood!"

Before director Mimi Ryder and Morgan Freeman left, the black movie star looked at the woman's back and hesitated for a long time, but said this before leaving.

Now his career has steadily recovered, and he has high expectations for this "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth". You should know that once science fiction films win the favor of audiences in the early stages of their release, the box office will often increase explosively, and the possibility of becoming a phenomenal film is the greatest, even greater than horror films that are known for small profits. After all, the investment in science fiction films is naturally much higher.

Morgan Freeman's words, whether it is Mimi Ryder, the director and producer, or Shirley Lansing, who has been holding coffee, they actually don't take it too seriously. People like them all have a characteristic, that is, their conceit.

Compared with illusory speculation, they believe more in the news they get with their own ears, and more in the judgments they make after careful thinking.

Especially the person who spoke, who didn't know that if Morgan Freeman hadn't had a big mouth and used his own temperament to smear Wayne, touching the bottom line of Warner Bros., a series of unlucky things would not have come together for no reason.

No one underestimates a media giant that wants to establish his authority, especially when this media giant ranks in the top three in the world. That is, after that incident, no individual star in Hollywood dares to use despicable means to Wayne.

So, both of them had the same idea, that is, Morgan Freeman was afraid once. Of course, it is normal for fear. Anyone who has passed this time quickly changed from a big star in the United States to a gun-headed criminal, and then a group of lawyers kept asking for trouble like mad dogs, would feel what the malice of capital is.

Sherry Lansing was the only one left in Paramount's office. It seemed that she was looking at the traffic downstairs and the tourists attracted by Hollywood. In fact, her head did not stop working for a moment, constantly calculating gains and losses, trying to find the conditions that were most favorable to Paramount.

This year is different from previous years. This year's top project, Paramount Pictures, is the only one of the movies "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth", which means that the success rate must be guaranteed.

Not to mention the other small projects of the company, that is not something she should consider. She only said that the production cost of "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" was as high as 75 million US dollars. But in fact, the amount that was spent is far more than this.

If the messy expenses such as promotion and marketing, distribution, and doubled this number, it is Paramount's real investment cost, so Shirley Lanxi cannot be thought about it much.

"Yes, his name is Wayne Greenberg...No one can underestimate Wayne Greenberg... No matter what... the success of "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" must be guaranteed..."

In the empty large office, Paramount Ceo's intermittent murmur sounded. Not long after, the middle-aged woman in a women's skirt turned around and walked back to the desk, put down the cold coffee in her hand, and picked up the phone on the desk with sharp eyes.

"Yes, I need to consider, OK, I will discuss with the bookmaker as soon as possible, but... well, no, I will call you back before tomorrow night at the latest, so that's it, bay."

At 10202 West Washington Avenue, Los Angeles, in the office of the distribution supervisor at Sony Columbia Pictures headquarters, Paul slowly put down the phone in his hand. He crossed his hands on the desk in front of him. After breathing a big sigh, he slowly leaned on the office chair, frowned and considered the phone call he had just called.

Risk and benefit coexist, this is the conclusion after careful consideration. This is Hollywood, kindness and innocence, and there is never a soil for growth here.

Thinking of this, his eyes became firm without realizing it. He raised his hand and picked up the phone on the table again. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he whispered: "I am Paul. Is Mr. Oha? Yes, things are very important and urgent. OK, I'll come here right away..."

After hanging up the phone, he didn't hesitate at all. He stood up and tidied up his suit and walked straight to the CEO office. Along the way, he was constantly thinking about the feasibility of the woman's plan, thinking about how to persuade the child CEO, and thinking about Sony Colombia, no, what benefits can he get from it.

"Clang, Clang, Clang."

Standing in front of the Sony Columbia CEO office, Paul nodded politely with the secretary, raised his hand and knocked on the door. With a very accent, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Recently, the geek's eyes have been staring at the progress of "Godzilla". This video may be just one of the company's ordinary large investment projects for local executives in North America and has no other meaning, but it is different for Oga Yu, because this monster comes from the geek.

Without any polite greetings, the distribution manager Paul completely reposted the contents of the phone, and the rest was a long silence.

The child CEO is also carefully considering the feasibility. Yes, the benefits of doing this can be seen from the naked eye, especially for "Godzilla", which he cares so much, which is definitely a major benefit, but he has more concerns.

It has been nearly ten years since Sony acquired Columbia Pictures from Coca-Cola in 1989. In the eyes of most Hollywood film companies, so long has passed, and the company is still enjoying the treatment of outsiders in all aspects. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Especially for so many years, Columbia Pictures has been in a state of chaos, as if it could never survive the pain of being acquired. It was not until the past two years that Sony Columbia's life has been a little better. The continuous success of small and medium-sized cost projects has also given Oga Yu the opportunity to slowly rectify the company.

But he never forgot that the reason why Sony Columbia was able to make a fortune in silence through small and medium-sized projects was because the other giants targeted Warner Bros. The result was obvious. Wayne was crazy and set up his troops in the summer season, causing several film companies targeting him to suffer a lot.

It is precisely because of these trash things that Sony Columbia has no time to participate, so they are similar to Twentieth Century Fox. While Warner Bros. beat those companies up, they released their own projects in silence. What's even more rare is that a large number of medium and low-cost projects have good returns.

Oga Yu had enough of being tacitly targeted by several other companies and treating Sony Columbia as an outsider. This is what he is most concerned about now. If he acts as the distribution manager, will Sony Columbia be snatched by Warner Bros.

"The reason why the first few works in the DC series were successful..."

Seeing that the son of the book was in trouble, Paul curled his lips in his heart, thinking that the other party was from a small place after all, and he was in a dilemma when encountering problems. He looked down on the other party's appearance of wanting candy but afraid of being beaten. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice:

"I have carefully analyzed that the most important thing about the continuous success is undoubtedly Wayne Greenberg's personal style that is so strong that it cannot be imitated. This is also the biggest difference between him and other niche noir directors. The characters, familiar stories that the audience has been familiar with since childhood, coupled with his dark stylized processing, and master-level storytelling ability, are as unique as DC comic-adapted superheroes."

Oga Xiong, who was opposite the meeting, nodded silently, obviously agreeing with his opinion very much, and he continued:

"Whether "Batman: The Dark Knight" is a special effect scene that is as shocking as an epic opera, or a story design that is so clever that it cannot be found out, the discussion of various social issues in the film can be said to have reached the peak of the big screen! But...

But we all know the internal preview of "The Flash". According to legend, there are many debates. The biggest debate is the change of style. My personal analysis is that Wayne Greenberg himself knows that he cannot surpass "Batman: The Dark Knight" in the same style, so he had to take the risk of bold transformation to see if he could find another way."

As Paul's narration, Oga Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but speak: "The risk brought by the rash transformation of the great director is extremely high, and there are very few successful people. If the film causes dissatisfaction after the release of the film, our good opportunity will come!"

"That's right." Paul nodded and closed his mouth tightly.

"Since I have chosen to be released on the same weekend and take advantage of the huge popularity of "The Flash" in the promotional and promotional promotion, there is nothing to hesitate!" Benzi Geo gritted his teeth hard, looked up at the man opposite the desk, and said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for contacting that woman, and this matter will be left to you! Please trouble you! Paul Sang."

"Ok, no problem."

No one knows what Paul is thinking. At least on the surface, he is working hard for Sony Colombia and for the "Godzilla" initiated by the son of the descendants.
