"Mid May is your "Flash" and the same period also includes the big project "Godzilla", which is our main competitor. Warner Brothers' next arrangement is that it is impossible to get too close to "Flash". "Flash" is our key project this year..."

Listening to Bruce Rosenblum's narrative, Wayne's hand gently scratched the stubble on his chin. Some things are obvious. This year's summer season is more crowded than in previous years. Not only is the 20th Century Fox project lined up for release, but Warner Bros. is the same.

The chaotic Walt Disney is followed closely by. Although this media giant is in a fierce internal struggle, their output is not small at all. Instead, there are more medium and large projects than in previous years.

This has caused this summer season to enter the rhythm of a big fight since June. All the big companies understand that competing with each other will only lead to more losses. However, they can count the entire summer season, and there is no so-called comfortable weekend at all.

"Starting from the 20th Century Fox's "The Strange Doctor Doctor Doride" in mid-June, at least two medium-sized and above projects will be released every weekend in the future." Speaking of this, Bruce Rosenblum and Wayne both knew that the key point was coming. He paused for a moment before continuing:

"I have carefully analyzed that the best schedule for "Charlie's Angels" produced by your studio is late June. Wayne, after all, this is a film composed entirely of women, and no one knows the market prospects. I personally think that the more you drag it back, the more unfavorable it will be for this film. There are too many projects from major companies behind it!"

Nodding silently, Wayne looked at Nina, who had been invisible, frowned slightly, and said, "I will urge the later progress of "Charlie's Angels" to ensure that it will not delay Warner Brothers' promotional plan."

What the other party said was an objective situation. Regardless of whether he had more confidence in this "Charlie's Angels", it seems that it is most appropriate to arrange the film until late June.

It is true that this will inevitably face the subsequent squeeze of "The Strange Doctor Doctor Dolid", but compared to the later schedule, this is already a pretty good arrangement.

Seeing that he had no objection, Bruce Rosenblum breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the others, the overcrowding of this summer season also made the publisher feel a headache. "When it was early July, it was Warner Bros.'s traditional sequel series "The Sky Cannon". This is the fourth part of this series. The previous few performances have always been quite good..."

"etc."

Hearing the name of this extremely familiar movie, Wayne subconsciously raised his hand, tilted his head to look at the director of Warner Bros., and asked uncertainly: "Is there a Chinese Kung Fu superstar who participated in this movie?"

"Ha, I almost forgot that you are a veteran enthusiast of Eastern culture."

Looking at his appearance, Bruce Rosenblum slapped his thigh, nodded affirmatively, and joked: "Yes, your previous trip to the East gave Warner Brothers more possibilities. So, this "Sky Cannon 4" did invite a Chinese Kung Fu superstar to participate. You know Wayne, Kung Fu has been very popular with North American audiences in the past two years."

If we talk about Warner Bros.'s traditional sequel series "The Sky Cannon", it may not be familiar, which is why Wayne has never thought about it much. However, another translation of this film is much louder than "The Sky Cannon", called "The Fatal Weapon".

If nothing unexpected happens, this film is jet-li's famous work that has entered Hollywood, and it also allows this Oriental Kung Fu superstar to win the most basic respect in data surveys that Hollywood attaches most importance to.

"If you have time, you can go to the premiere of "The Sky Cannon 4" to help you stand up. Maybe you can talk to that kung fu superstar about Eastern culture."

Although a Jewish person likes Eastern culture, which is incredible in Bruce Rosenblum's eyes, this place is Hollywood after all, and it is normal for the director who plays art to have some quirks. For example, Quentin Tarantino, who claims to imitate Wayne and imitate the best, is also famous for his preference for book culture.

"Come on, Bruce."

Wayne is still a little self-aware in this regard. He curled his lips and smiled, shrugged and said, "With Mel Gibson here, the film will naturally not lack attention, so how can I use it to the platform."

Compared with Mel Gibson, who is a first-line male star now, even if he is famous, he is definitely incomparable in this regard. This is the position that he has as a behind-the-scenes worker. The audience is most interested in, and they will always be the big stars standing in front of the stage.

However, as time goes by, this situation is gradually changing. After the popularity of the Internet, people's access to information has accelerated and became easier, it became inevitable that directors will go to the front stage. However, it is a bit early this year, and even the most famous directors cannot compete with first-line male stars.

"Hey, hey, hey, man, even Mel Gibson himself, may not dare to say these things you said." He raised his hand and pointed Wayne from the air. Bruce Rosenblum smiled and shook his head.

It seems that those first-line stars have greater influence, but no big star in the circle dares to underestimate the name Wayne Greenberg.

"You know, Xinyi has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Bros.." Speaking of the Oriental Kung Fu superstar, Bruce Rosenblum seemed to suddenly remember something, crossed his hands on the desk in front of him, and looked at him and said, "This year, Xinyi also has a film, and there is also an Oriental Kung Fu superstar in it..."

Hearing this, Wayne asked with a smile, "Ja?!"

"Yes, have you heard of him?"

"Of course, I just haven't seen it before..."

In 1998, Wayne suddenly felt that it was such a coincidence. If there were no accidents, Ja also relied on this "Rush Hour" to officially open up the situation in Hollywood.

Although Ja had other works before, it was far less influential than this "Rush Hour". This movie had a very good box office in his memory. More importantly, this movie gave Ja's comedy kung fu style a large audience in Hollywood.

Bruce Rosenblum shook his head. "Forget it, if you are interested, I will send you a copy of the invitation to Nina. If you have time, you can go and see it yourself. That movie was arranged in mid-to-late September, which is already the end of the summer vacation."

One thing is actually a coincidence, because "The Sky Cannon 4" is a sequel series produced by Warner Bros. As long as they invite Mel Gibson, a popular male star, to a certain extent, it shows how much Warner Bros attaches importance to this series.

It's the new Line Film project, and the difference is not a little bit. Although this is already a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Bros., the degree of attention is completely different. The production cost of this "Pulse Hour" is at most, even if it is medium, which has also made the film's dark horse counterattack.

"Let's continue to talk about the main business." After chatting, Bruce Rosenblum raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and immediately pulled the topic back to the main business. "The project "The Matrix 3: Matrix Restart" was scheduled to be released in mid-August after our discussion. If you have any ideas, it's best to raise it now."

It can be clearly seen that Warner Bros. attaches great importance to the film "The Matrix 3: Matrix Restart", so high that it is not comparable to works like "Charlie's Angels" with blurry market prospects.

After all, this film was co-produced by Warner Bros. Greenberg Studios, and the first two films have brought a lot of benefits to both parties. Especially in the videotape trading and rental markets, until now, the first two films have entered the top ten of the videotape lists in the United States from time to time, and continue to generate profits for them.

Nodding, Wayne said, "I have no objection. You are an expert in this regard. I believe your arrangement."

"The reason for this arrangement is that July is too crowded. The company's senior management agreed that they do not want to use projects that make money to wade through the muddy waters of the July scramble."

Speaking of this, Bruce Rosenblum's mouth slowly smiled. "Bowei International Films, a Disney-owned distribution label, announced that on July 1, they will release their top production this year's "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation". The director named Michael Bay knows very well what the audience wants in the summer season, and has done very well in the past two years.

July 15th is "I'm crazy for Mary" by Twentieth Century Fox, and July 17th also "The Black Man Zorro" by Sony Colombia. The former is the key project of Twentieth Century Fox, and as for the latter... I believe that Wayne, Zorro's influence will never be too bad at any time.

In the last week, our only project in July is Steven Spielberg, which has always wanted you to take over and direct, but in the end he had no choice but to take part in the R-class war epic "Save the Soldier Ryan". In the same period, there are also films such as Bo Wei's "Born a Couple".

You know, the films that can be said by Bruce Rosenblum in person are basically large-scale productions of various companies, such as "Cinderella" and "Crystal Soldiers" and other relatively small-cost films, which are common this month. There is no way, who makes July the focus of the summer season? No ambitious company is willing to miss this craziest month for fans.

"Bruce, you know, I always believe in your ability, so don't explain your arrangement to me." Seeing that the director of Warner Bros.'s distribution and wanted to continue to describe the reasons for this arrangement, Wayne interrupted the other party with a smile.

"Although I'm pulling the line for DreamWorks and Warner Bros., I don't care about the cooperation between the two parties. I just remind you one thing, Bruce, don't force Steven Spielberg back to Paramount!"
