754 - The Neglected Box Office Nuke

After the Super Bowl, the media sensation and major media reported that it was not the winner of the Denver Broncos star quarterback John Elvi, nor the Wonder Woman, which caused a carnival among North American fans, but the group of sexy and hot "angel models".

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Heidi Krum, and the sky-high diamond underwear she wore in front of global audiences that day.

However, what puzzled the media reporters was that on the second day after the Super Bowl, when facing the reporter's interview, Heidi Krum once said that a mysterious rich man had already bought the diamond underwear after the second half.

Sensitive reporters immediately found Victoria's Secret's custody and asked about the price of the diamond underwear.

Although the specific figures were not obtained, the executive vowed to say that the price of this diamond underwear was tens of millions of dollars.

When the reporters sensitively noticed the gimmick and wanted to ask the buyer further, whether it was the "angel supermodel" interviewed or the executives of Victoria's Secret, they all remained silent.

Undoubtedly, supermodels and Victoria's Secret executives hope to make money with this sky-high-priced underwear, and no one wants to miss such a good marketing opportunity. But it is obvious that the mysterious rich man who bought this set of diamond underwear should have a confidentiality clause with Victoria's Secret, which made them choose to remain silent when facing reporters' interviews.

But less than a week passed and the noise above the Super Bowl was gradually over, a reporter suddenly revealed that the person who bought the sky-high diamond underwear was Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg.

According to the analysis of relevant enthusiasts, this possibility is really very high, because on the day of the Super Bowl, Wayne Greenberg himself watched the game on the spot.

What makes countless readers even more excited is that the new "Wonder Woman" Angelina Jolie and "Charlie's Angel" Cameron Diaz accompany him to watch the game.

People's eyes quickly shifted, and entertainment tabloids were speculating that who was the ultimate owner of this set of underwear was the two actresses.

The execution ability of paparazzi reporters is definitely unique in the Hollywood media industry. They know very well that going to the Warner Studios gate is useless and simply standardizing the two Hollywood actresses.

"No, I didn't give that diamond underwear to me, although I was very yearning for that dreamy underwear." Angelina Jolie admitted without hesitation when facing the reporter: "But I did not get that diamond underwear. What? Who did Wayne give it to? Then I don't know."

Immediately afterwards, Cameron Diaz also admitted at his doorstep that he had not obtained the diamond underwear.

This is interesting. The answers of the two actresses in an interview undoubtedly proved one thing: that set of underwear was bought by Wayne Greenberg.

As we all know, the name Wayne Greenberg represents many symbols in the eyes of the public. For example, the representative of Hollywood directors since the 1990s, the last possession of the chivalrous spirit in North American society, philanthropists, super rich people, representatives of the American Dream in recent years, etc.

But these are not the first things that people think of when they mention this name. Usually when people hear friends or media around them mention this name, the first thing they think of in their minds is always the adjective "playboy".

After years of reporting on entertainment newspapers and gossip tabloids, Wayne's name is simply equated with Playboy. Usually, during the release of movies without him, the most popular news is that he had sex with a female star.

Even this year, some more authoritative entertainment media published a sarcastic statement. "If you want to confirm whether you have become famous in Hollywood as soon as possible, you should not find your name among the stars on the Avenue of Stars, but ask yourself if you have climbed on Wayne Greenberg's bed."

Another very important thing is that no actress in the circle who has been rumored to have sex with Wayne so far has said any bad words from the media. This is also a big and small miracle among the Hollywood celebrities.

This is also the main reason why he is a playboy in people's minds, but he often ranks among the top few North American women's fantasy objects.

So the question is, who did Wayne Greenberg give to that sky-high underwear?

No one would believe that he would buy the close-fitting clothing that was very attractive to women but was not sensitive to men, so he would wear it in the mirror himself.

Hollywood celebrities never lack quirks. The most well-known ones are Tom Cruise, who likes to wear thongs on his body during filming. Such gossips are no longer news.

But even so, no one wants to believe that Wayne has a cross-dressing habit. The public would rather believe that he is addicted to drugs in private, or like alcohol and Ye Ziyan than believe that he is a perverted cross-dressing habit.

So, in early January, the most discussed topic in North America was where Wayne's sky-high diamond underwear went? The popularity of this topic is close to the frequent movie awards ceremony. Many paparazzi reporters are holding their energy to dig out the truth about this very unique news during the awards season.

"You don't understand that real businessmen only make limited profits. And huge profits are exactly what cannot last for a long time."

When Twentieth Century Fox saw the small conference room, the then-Ceo Townsend Rossman was leisurely watching the colorful gossip tabloids in his hands, while chatting casually with Terry beside him.

"So, although those shareholders all advocated the use of the price that ordinary people could not refuse to attract Wayne Greenberg and Fox to work harder. In fact, Wayne could not agree at all."

Terry nodded, glanced at the newspaper on the table, and a large Hollywood detective column was being staged: Who is Wayne Greenberg's sky-high diamond underwear? "The cooperation with 20th Century Fox is huge profits. But the close cooperation with Warner Bros. is a long-term approach for real businessmen."

"That's right." Townsend Rossman reached out and snapped his fingers, shook his head with a smile, but a hint of coldness revealed in the smile on his face.

"Don't look forward to the next cooperation. Unless there is an irreparable crack between Wayne Greenberg and Warner Bros., he will not cooperate with Fox for at least ten years, even if it costs more money, it will be useless."

Will there be a rift between Warner Bros. and Wayne? Maybe, but there will be no rift that will make the two sides part ways, because neither Wayne nor Warner Bros. will let the situation develop to that point. It is Chilolo's loss, and there is no winner at all.

On the other hand, how big a crack is needed to make Wayne willing to abandon the Warner Bros. shares in his hand and the DC glory he built with one hand? Even if there is any irreconcilable conflict between the two sides, on this basis, both sides will do their best to maintain the cooperative relationship.

“Boss, so you want to…”

Terry seemed to have suddenly thought of something, with a flash of thought on his face and whispered: "Use Star Wars..."

As his voice slowly disappeared, the eyes of the head of Fox were slowly filled with fear and incredibleness.

"Terry, this is Hollywood."

Townsend Rossman, holding a thick cigar in his hand, looked downstairs along the window, where a business car had just stopped and several people were getting off the car and walking towards the Forks Building.

"so, business is business, and business is just business."

Even though he said that, Townsend Rossman also had a clear thought on his face, and he was obviously not sure whether his plan could be implemented smoothly. "Don't be anxious. No matter what we want to do, we must ask the "Father of Star Wars" to nod. If he doesn't nod, we can do nothing."

That's right, when all North American movie fans were attracted by the new DC masterpiece "Wonder Woman" and the unprecedentedly popular scenes, there was also a movie that could be called a king, without revealing any relevant information.

The new Star Wars has made countless movie fans in North America and even the world look forward to "Star Wars" for 16 years.

Since "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi", which was released in 1983, fans of this series have raised their expectations to the extreme in more than ten years.

During this period, there were countless rumors that George Lucas was producing a new Star Wars, but movie fans waited for it again and again, but all the rumors were refuted by Lucas Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox.

This time, when the new Star Wars really came, everyone, including Townsend Rossman and other senior executives of 20th Century Fox, firmly believed that even if George Lucas was shooting a bunch of shit, it would still be sought after by movie fans all over the world as soon as it was released.

Holding such a box office nuclear bomb in his hand, Townsend Rossman was not afraid of it. The reason why 20th Century Fox did not invest in advertisements in the Super Bowl is because its name is "Star Wars". It does not require any advertisements. It itself is the world's largest IP and largest advertisement.

No one knows which schedule this new Star Wars will be released, but the biggest possibility is undoubtedly the summer season.

Although the outside world's speculation about the summer season is so exciting, Townsend Rossman is not in a hurry at all. As long as he can convince George Lucas, he is confident that he can exert the power of "Star Wars" to the extreme.

When George Lucas and his group entered the small conference room, there was no greeting or nonsense between the two sides and directly entered the subject.

"Townsen, this is the last time I've expressed my opinion."

Looking at Townsend Rossman with a smile on his face, as if he was a good old man, George Lucas said straightforwardly: "Put down your messy thoughts, I don't allow my Star Wars to take a slight risk when it is released."

"Of course, George, I mean of course."

Townsend Rossman knows the father of Star Wars in front of him very well. After all, he did the distribution of "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi" by himself. So he did not rush to refute the other party's words, but smiled and handed over a cigar and explained:

"This time I asked you to come here, just want to set the release schedule for Star Wars as soon as possible."

In fact, George Lucas knew very well that from his own perspective, Twentieth Century Fox must have wanted to use Star Wars to fight a beautiful battle this summer.

And how can a beautiful battle not arrange a good opponent?

But from his perspective, he didn't want to see such a situation happening at all. Yes, George Lucas's "Star Wars" is never afraid of any competitors, but if it can be released at a relatively relaxed time, the fool would want to take risks with his own videos.

What's more, through the previous conversations, I discovered that the subtext of 20th Century Fox actually wanted to use "Wonder Woman" and "Pearl Harbor"!

To put it bluntly, neither of these two films is a fuel-efficient lamp. Needless to say, the title of Explosion Bell has become an alternative guarantee for Hollywood's box office in the past two years. Basically, every film can achieve very good market results.

As for the former, George Lucas knew Wayne too well. He knew very well that if anyone looked at "Wonder Woman" with a prejudice, he naively thought that this was a work that was inherently missing from the audience, and he would eventually be beaten to the ground.

Let’s take a step back, even if Star Wars really squeezes into May and knocks these two films down one after another, what can we do?

I'm afraid the biggest possibility is that each person is affected by the other party. Even if the winner is the winner, he will eventually win bloody victory.

There is no doubt that no matter what excuses 20th Century Fox made, the purpose behind it was to use Star Wars as a gun envoy. George Lucas was not that stupid to become the richest man in Hollywood today.

"George, with the attributes of Star Wars, the best schedule is of course the summer schedule."

As soon as this sentence came to an end, George Lucas's eyes immediately became sharp. Townsend Rossman raised his hand with a cigar in his arms and signaled the other party to finish his words.

"In May, when the summer season begins, it is well known that Wayne Greenberg has completely cultivated this period into his private time period over the years, and has also cultivated countless loyal fans.

But George, you must think about why even so, there were still films like "Jurassic Park 2" and "Godzilla" in the past few years, and they were scheduled to be released at this time. Even this year, there will still be no shortage of big productions to squeeze in."

He paused for a moment and saw that the other party had not said anything, so he continued: "It's because the benefits of being released in this schedule are equally tempting.

Wayne Greenberg has spent nearly ten years completely clearing most of the competitors at the beginning of the summer season. As long as we join this period, it means that we have to face only one or two strong competitors, or competitors on the surface!

Is it possible that when our video is put in the hot July and August, there will be no strong competitors? You and I know that it is precisely because of Wayne Greenberg's invisible dominance that the July and August, which was already more competitive, is becoming more and more crowded.

According to the news Fox has received now, Warner Bros. just in the three months of June, 7 and 8, he stuffed into "Ace Spy 2", "King Kong", "Speed ​​Chase", and a series of sequels, Universal Pictures' "Muno Yin", Disney's "Tarzan of the Apes", "Toy Story 2", "The Sixth Sense", Sony's "Fake Dad", and Paramount's "The Running Bride".

This series of projects can be said to be the leading projects of major companies. George, this is just the news I have received now. At that time, three movies with a production cost of over 100 million will be released on a weekend. I think it will become the norm. I think you should understand what I mean."

As a former distribution director of Twentieth Century Fox, Townsend Rossman seemed confident when talking about the release of the film.

According to his statement, things are indeed like this. Apart from May to mid-June, the more time goes back, the more crowded the summer season becomes. At least from this perspective, his statement is completely considering "Star Wars".

"I don't want to repeat the previous words, Townsend."

No one expected that George Lucas was very determined. Even in the face of such a choice for himself, he waved without hesitation. "I want to hear other choices."

A hint of surprise flashed across Townsend Rossman's face. He didn't expect that the words he thought were the best did not impress the stubborn old man. "Uh...well, I have another suggestion here."

"I've said it right."

"You'll go and meet Wayne Greenberg in person..."
