In 2020, many well-known media and newspapers in Hollywood featured the title of "Nolan" and the next "Spielberg".

Is Nolan really worthy of these honors?

Whether it is the early "Following", "Memory Fragments", "Insomnia", or the later "Batman" trilogy, "Deadly Magic", "Inception", "Interstellar", "Dunkirk"...

After decades of working, all the movies he made have been profitable.

Even in the eyes of many people, the box office data of "Creedy" which failed at the box office was far inferior to expectations.

Production cost exceeding $200 million!

The production company is mixed.

But in fact, the surrounding industry license of the movie "Creedy" has already made a fortune for the production company before the movie was released.

This shows how strong the commercial attributes of Nolan movies are.

Nolan has been in the industry for decades and has never won any A-Class International Film Awards, but for Hollywood film companies, he is simply a walking money tree!

[The pride of the film industry!]

This is the best praise given to Christopher Nolan after 2010.

"Then the question is here!"

“Before 2010, before Nolan, which Hollywood film director was called the pride of the film industry?”

The answer is - Michael Bay!

In 1994, he directed his first film "The Jedi Men", which cost $8 million to produce, and won $140 million in global box office;

In 1996, he filmed his second film, "Breaking into the Deadly Island", which achieved a box office of US$335 million worldwide;

In 1998, the sci-fi action movie "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" directed by the film was released. The film's first three-day box office in North America was as high as 36.08 million US dollars, and eventually won a box office of 550 million US dollars worldwide;

In just a few years, Michael Bay completed his gorgeous transformation in Hollywood and became one of the hottest directors in the 1990s. He was the most glamorous child in the directorial industry in that era!

The name of "the pride of heaven" spread like wildfire.

The "Transformers" series he later created even more and even more exploded the whole world, completely engraving his name in film history.

But...what now?

Today in 2001, he was a little confused!

"The movie "Pearl Harbor" I filmed was obviously a hit on the world, making countless people praise me and sell specials at the box office, but you told me...it has a bad reputation?!"

I don't want to accept this fact!

I don't want to believe it either!

Man, you have to know that Michael Bay is the pride of the film industry today!

For a moment, Michael Bay, who had just finished the promotional event, had a little change in his face and color. His expression changed, which was very rich.

Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, the male and female star in the film "Pearl Harbor". Looking at Michael Bay with his constantly changing expressions, he couldn't help but have many doubts.

"What happened?" Affleck whispered.

"have no idea."

Kate Beckinsale shook his head and whispered: "It must be because of the movie "Pearl Harbor", but it doesn't make sense?"

Affleck nodded: "Yes, it doesn't make sense. The assistant just told me that "Pearl Harbor" was a big box office, and the attendance rate was not low, far exceeding the "Ninth District" released at the same time."

"In theory, the director should be very excited."

The two were full of doubts.

However, the two of them were not serious either!

After all, being able to star in Pearl Harbor, a movie with a production cost of up to $140 million, a promotion cost of up to $100 million, and joining the Disney Group, is undoubtedly a huge career improvement for any actor.

"I can't wait!"

"God~ I want to know the box office of the movie "Pearl Harbor", whether it is the first day box office, the first three-day box office on the first weekend, or the final box office..."

"Oscars have a film queen a year, but how many actresses can participate in a Class A commercial blockbuster with production costs of more than $100 million?"

"Haha, I have surpassed many people!"

"My future is smooth!"

Actress Kate Beckinsale, her heart is filled with countless wonderful imaginations about the future.

Ben Affleck was a little more reserved.

However, he was also very excited.

"The movie "Pearl Harbor" will definitely be a big hit. After all, director Michael Bay is the pride of heaven and is the guarantee of box office!" Ben Affleck said in his heart.

Michael Bay: "..."

.........

Wald Pictures.

“Boss!”

"Mr. Wald!"

"Chairman!"

Zhu Ke, who just left the head office of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, now appears at Wald Pictures. As soon as he stepped into the door of Wald Pictures, he was surrounded by emperor-like calls.

Whenever you see Zhuke's employees, they will get up and say hello immediately.

The boss is here, don’t you perform?

Want to wait for death?!

When Zucker saw President Kevin Feige, the first thing he said was: "Disney has used a lot of resources to suppress the negative news about Pearl Harbor?"

“Yes, boss.”

Kevin Fitch nodded and said, "Since the release of Pearl Harbor, reputation has dropped rapidly. Putting aside its wonderful explosion scene for about 40 minutes, the rest are very bloody triangular love stories. Many moviegoers complained at the first time after watching the movie."

Speaking of this, Kevin Feige was immediately happy.

"Oh my god!"

"I still don't understand how Michael Bay is known as the "Explosion Bell" and the "Explosion Maniac"?"

"The film "Pearl Harbor" is released in theaters, lasting 183 minutes, with only 40 minutes of exciting scenes. Other plots can be described as lengthy and dull. It is said that any audience in the theater has been to the bathroom during the movie viewing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

The filming of "Pearl Harbor" this time was different from the past. There were few pure war scenes, adding too many literary attributes, as well as his huge personal thoughts.

Follow the example of "Titanic"?

Talking about love?

Play with literature?

He was so messed up when he was a tiger but failed!

Zhuke said in amazement: "The Proud Child of Heaven's Explosion of the Baby, this time it will probably be bad. This is simply welcome!"

Take advantage of others' dangers, gloat, and take advantage of others' dangers...

Zhu Ke is so useless to these despicable methods!

Kevin Feige smiled and said, "Although these negative news have appeared in a concentrated manner today, Disney has acted very quickly and quickly suppressed the spread of negative news. However, I estimate that even Disney will suppress it for up to 3 to 5 days."

Upon hearing this, Zhuke immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "We and Disney are old friends. We can't watch them deceive the audience. This is immoral. In a word, we must be exposed!"

"I understand, boss."

Kevin Feige instantly understood it.

"Squinting eyes are not good things." Kevin Feige looked at his boss and slandered himself.

Kevin Feige is not bad at all, he is not bad at all.

With a command, the power of the entire Wald Pictures quickly spread out!

Even the parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, as CEO, Victor immediately ordered to cooperate with the publicity to reveal all the negative news of the suppression of "Pearl Harbor" and cleverly add fuel to the fire.

The methods may not be very clever, but they are practical enough!

The two newspapers, "California Entertainment" and "Los Angeles Entertainment" are very willing to be this pioneer!
Chapter completed!
