Ace Hollywood

Mike Linton and Amy Pascal have been sitting together a lot lately. Baidu search to force literature network

Usually, for a company as large and busy as Sony Pictures, the co-chairs and the co-chairs really rarely get the opportunity to meet intensively in person.

But since the Sony consortium and DD Pictures filed a lawsuit over the acquisition of MGM, the exchanges between the two have naturally increased. Sony and Daniel have not had much dealings. In fact, among the seven major Hollywood, except for Universal, Disney and MGM are basically not closely related to Daniel.

This is also normal.

So far, Daniel has only acted in thirteen or four films, of which three or four were produced by DD Films, three in the "Lord of the Rings" series, two in "Bourne Bourne", and the first in "Pirates of the Caribbean". 2 has also been launched - there are not many opportunities left, so it is normal to lack experience in cooperation with large companies.

This time, Linton and Pascal met for the premiere of The Hangover.

"After The Greek Wedding, DD Pictures is once again dabbling in wedding comedy, and this time, they're looking in a different direction: the best man. Three best men waking up from a hangover at the bachelor's eve party discover several horrific things The first thing, the groom was lost, the second thing, there was a six-month-old baby in the room, and the third thing, a tiger actually appeared in the bathroom - what interesting things will happen next... …”

The Los Angeles Times covered the premiere of "The Hangover" in detail - now The Times has been able to be impartial when covering Daniel's news, not a partner, and there is no need to be an enemy. Obviously, Carroll's strategy is still good. At least Daniel's series of news will not miss the "Los Angeles Times" when it is released. After all, it is a large-scale newspaper with sales of millions.

"What do you think of this movie?"

Amy Pascal, the most powerful woman in Hollywood. Single-handedly promoting the "Spider-Man" project almost opened the door to a new world for Sony.

In fact, there are quite a few women in the upper echelons of Hollywood, except for Pascal. Universal's Stacy Schneider, Viacom's Shelly Lansing, Fox's Gail Berman and CBS's Nancy Thrun are all powerful figures.

Now, the 47-year-old chairwoman with great beauty is facing questions from colleagues. Apparently hesitant.

"The Hangover" held its premiere in Beverly Hills yesterday. It was very special. The whole scene was set up to look like a manor wedding. Daniel even invited the heroine Nia of "Greek Wedding" to help out. The two were dressed in The dresses came out, recreating the scene of the "Greek Wedding" that once swept North America. Then, the three "Hangover" actors who acted as best man, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Zarifianakis, have always been their best man. character, until the priest starts asking the newcomer "Would you like to—". The three suddenly burst out and threw Daniel **** into the special trash can next to the stage - a huge trash can made of green sponge.

Then the stage instantly turned into the turf of the three best men who giggled.

Aside from a young Bradley, Ed and Zach have both work experience on talk shows.

The warm and romantic opening full of memories instantly turned into an impromptu talk show stage full of jokes and jokes.

This made everyone feel refreshed.

"This time, Daniel is obviously willing to be thrown in the 'trash can', maybe he wants to tell everyone that the legendary box office of 'The Greek Wedding' is over. Now it's 'The Hangover' time, although I don't I'm not optimistic that "The Hangover" can reach the height of 400 million box office, whether it is North America or the world. But relative to the budget of 35 million US dollars, I can guarantee it. This time DD Pictures and Daniel will definitely make a lot of money again. It is indeed a very interesting work.”

The Times reporter's response to Mike Linton's question was clearly positive and positive.

The Hangover will make money.

In fact, DD Films is becoming more and more high-profile at the premiere, as shown by "The Social Network" and "The Hangover". They have invited a large number of filmmakers, reporters and guests from all walks of life. It's different from The Social Network. This time, Daniel personally came forward to entertain all the guests, and everyone obviously showed respect.

Positive, neutral, and negative reviews are roughly 6:2:2, and in terms of comic effect, positive reviews are as high as 80% or more.

Even the media, which is fairly aligned with Sony, don't seem to be planning to "go against their will" this time around -- if that's the case.

On the cinema chain, they have also understood that the majority are optimistic, and there will be no less screens for the opening of "The Hangover". From this point of view, Pascal and Linton should actually be able to draw a conclusion. After all, the theater chain does not Possibly joking about his performance.

However, these logically rigorous reasoning became less reliable when they met Daniel Sandler. The rumors of Daniel's "undefeated golden body" cannot be ignored even by major theater chains and theaters. What's more, after "Social Network" exceeded 300 million, it is still in the final stages, and "Greek Wedding" has a box office of 400 million. In the DD Films library. It is not incomprehensible that the theater chain is affected by other factors to make the current decision.

Now, what Pascal and Linton want to know for sure isn't whether The Hangover will lose money -- it's how much it will make.

If it is another work with great potential, they have no way of predicting the possible impact on the current situation.

...

Although Sony has more reason to pay attention to The Hangover~www.wuxiamtl.com~, other studios are also very interested in the film.

"The Hangover" can actually be regarded as Daniel's first work after turning to studio work in the true sense, and it is very important in the eyes of major giants. This is indeed the case. Even if "Greek Wedding" and "The Social Network" had enough box office sales before, it would not give people this impression, but since Daniel dominated the acquisition of MGM, his identity has been in Hollywood studios. In the eyes of the boss, he has changed from a legendary actor to a studio owner and a legendary actor, and the studio's job is on the front.

Therefore, the success of "The Hangover" has a certain level of verification significance. This point does not have any quantitative measurement conditions, but it does exist in everyone's hearts.

"Wish he could lose once." (To be continued.)
