DreamWorks Group.

Spielberg, one of the three DreamWorks giants, talked to Michael Bay in the office today, not, to be precise, to comfort his old friends.

"Michael, don't worry too much about the box office trend of "Pearl Harbor". In fact, the explosion scenes in the film have still been recognized by many movie fans?" Spielberg said in consolation.

Michael Bay smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know, but I'm still very dissatisfied."

"You mean..." Spielberg frowned.

"That's right!"

Michael Bay said in a deep voice: "I mean the unconventional and unlimited media reporters, and those critics who fan the flames everywhere. Before "Pearl Harbor" was released, they all said: Hi, look at him Michael Bay, except for explosions, explosions, explosions, explosions, and explosions, will he order anything else? He can't play art movies at all!"

"Now, Pearl Harbor is almost two weeks away."

"They said again: Hi, look at him Michael Bay. He can only play with explosions, explosions, explosions, explosions, and as for the high-end literature and artistic connotations, he is completely unable to do it."

The words fell.

Spielberg said coldly: "You have been a director for many years. Are you still not sure about the urinary nature of media and film critics? Whether it is commercial films or art films, they have ten thousand ways to pick on them as long as they want."

Michael Bay: "..."

Is he really not clear about the urinary nature of the media and film critics?

He knows very well.

However... Michael Bay's directorial career has gone too smoothly!

"Jedi Men", "Brave the Deadly Island", "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation"...

Since officially entering Hollywood, Michael Bay has been like a wall hanging in the cloak of God, making a movie that is popular with another movie, and the box office is higher and higher every time.

The reputation of the pride of heaven spreads like wildfire!

The word "failure" does not exist in his dictionary at all.

But this time he made a mess!

Spielberg analyzed again: "In fact, the movie "Pearl Harbor" is pretty good, but Wald Pictures' new work "The Ninth District" was released at the same time as yours! The science fiction movie created at a low cost of $30 million has broken the box office record of a series of medium-cost films and completely suppressed your glory."

Michael Bell suddenly felt bitter.

It's okay if you don't mention the film "The Ninth District". When you mention it, even Michael Bay couldn't help but blush.

No one in Hollywood knows who doesn't laugh. On the eve of the release of "Pearl Harbor", Michael Bay criticized "The Ninth District" more than once.

“The Ninth District is a joke.”

"Can it watch "The Ninth District" costing $30 million, or a science fiction movie?"

"No doubt, it's a real big bad movie."

"The opponent of Pearl Harbor is never the Ninth District released at the same time, but James Cameron's Titanic."

A few crazy words still fill your ears.

How arrogant I used to be, how much I feel now my old face hurts...

Director Michael Bay is like this, and the starring actors of the film "Pearl Harbor" also have a painful face.

for example:

The heroine is played by Kate Beckinsale.

At this moment, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Agent: "Kate, you know, although I am one of the senior partners of Caa, I can't control the will of Caa. Since the reputation and box office failure of "Pearl Harbor", your internal rating has been reduced from a to b."

"At the same time, major Hollywood film companies have also lowered your rating considerations, and the loss of endorsements of various products has become a foregone conclusion."

Upon hearing this, Kate Beckinsale's face looked ugly at this moment.

Hollywood is a world of fame and fortune, and capital will always pursue successful people!

The agent also said: "From now on, it will be difficult for you to obtain resources for Class A commercial blockbusters."

"Is there really no room for recovery?"

Kate Beckinsale was very unwilling to give up. She worked hard for so many years and paid so much before she won the heroine of the A-class commercial blockbuster "Pearl Harbor". For this reason, she had just given birth to her daughter for less than two months and immediately started working.

However, now the movie has failed.

The producers who once pursued him are so frivolous now.

“It’s hard.”

The agent shook his head and said, "It means it's over. There are really not many people who can turn over. Do you know Milla Jovovich?"

Kate Beckinsale nodded, indicating that he knew.

(Note: Mira Jovovich is the actress of Alice, the heroine of the Resident Evil movie series.)

"In the mid-1990s, Mira was already a very famous actress, and for this reason she won the favor of "The Fifth Element" directed by Luc Besson. But, as you know, it has not turned over yet." The agent said in a deep voice.

The production cost of the movie "Fifth Element" was $90 million, and the promotional expenses were more than $50 million. At that time, it was the highest-invested film of Gaomeng Pictures.

But what about after the movie is released?

There are many negative comments, and the box office is even worse.

For this reason, Gaomeng Pictures almost went bankrupt.

The dignified international director, Luc Besson, who filmed "This Killer Not Too Cold", could only leave Hollywood in shame and turn to Europe;

The heroine of the film, Mira Jovovich, completely lost power and was unable to get in touch with movies with an investment cost of more than $20 million, becoming an actress who is disgusted with dogs.

Hollywood is so realistic!

Even in the future, Mira will play Alice, the heroine of the "Resident Evil" movie series, and will become popular again, but she will not be able to get into the first-tier commercial production of Class A again.

Kate Beckinsale looked bitter and said, "I get it."

The agent comforted: "Think about it yourself, I'll help you with another look."

In fact, in the future, Kate Beckinsale's fate is very similar to Milla Jovovich. Kate Beckinsale later starred in the "Legend of the Night" series and became popular again, and he did not have any chance to come into contact with a first-tier commercial production of Class A.

Since then, she has completely lost the opportunity to become a first-line Hollywood actor and has to become a second-tier actress.

There is one thing the agent didn't say.

"Kate Beckinsale has repeatedly spoken rude to the Ninth District movie and Zucker on the eve of the release of the Pearl Harbor movie. Does she still have a chance to become popular?"

......

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Kate Beckinsale, she's finished!"

Matt Damon said to his good friend Ben Affleck: "I'm very sure that Mr. Juke Wald will retaliate against Kate Beckinsale."

Ben Affleck breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a good thing that you reminded me, otherwise I would probably be settled by Qiu Hou now."

During the promotion of "Pearl Harbor", Kate Beckinsale made many fuss, but Affleck, who is the actor of the male lead, remembers the advice of his friends, and is always able to remain rational and restrained, and has never made any comments criticizing Zucker himself.

Matt Damon sneered: "In Hollywood, we can be arrogant, but we must score people. People with status like Mr. Juke Wald, we must not offend them, not a single point."

Ben Affleck nodded, his emotional intelligence was not low.
