Hollywood is a circle full of personal heroism. When you can create box office miracles, you are the hero that everyone pursues, and the whole world will revolve around you.

However, there are very few filmmakers in Hollywood who can be treated as heroes forever.

This is the cruel side of Hollywood again.

When you can no longer create miracles and are abandoned by everyone, it is almost a moment. In a century, too many people have felt this strong gap, so many people are willing to give everything to maintain their glory.

That's probably how Steven Spielberg feels lately.

The personal fate of this old-fashioned filmmaker who became famous for "Jaws" actually took a turn since the summer of 1986. If there was no young man, the name Spielberg would still be a symbol of Hollywood until the new century.

The strong rise of Daenerys Entertainment Group has almost changed the fate of every filmmaker in Hollywood.

Steven Spielberg is undoubtedly the one who is most affected.

Because Hollywood's resources are limited after all, the reason why Spielberg has been prosperous is that in addition to his personal film talent, the most important point is that this filmmaker has always enjoyed Hollywood's top resources, abundant production funds, top production teams, generous promotion and promotion investment, high-quality film schedules, golden theater resources, etc.

Now, all this has been taken away by Daenerys Entertainment Group.

Since "Running Roll", the American public's attention has been attracted by the name Simon Westeros. Even the first "Jurassic Park" three years ago, many people believe that this is mainly due to Westeros's keen eye. Instead, Spielberg, as the director and producer, was placed second, and later kicked him out.

This is the first time he has received this kind of treatment in the years since "Jaws" sent 29-year-old Spielberg to the peak of the Hollywood pyramid.

However, what made Spielberg even more uncomfortable was the great success of "Jurassic Park 2".

When the first box office of "Jurassic Park 2" was released, Spielberg felt very bad. Including the midnight show, the first day of $28.79 million was already the total box office of many blockbuster movies, but for "Jurassic Park 2", it was only a day's income.

In the first three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office of this phenomenal dinosaur blockbuster ended up as high as 83.16 million US dollars, directly surpassing the seven-day box office of "Jurassic Park" three years ago, which was $72.17 million in the first week of "Jurassic Park". The industry generally predicts that "Jurassic Park 2" will break the single-week box office record of $113 million in the first week of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" last year, setting a new high for opening the box office.

This is almost unquestionable.

So, even though he was very careful, when he went to Paramount Cinema to attend a meeting on Tuesday, June 6, Spielberg was still stopped by paparazzi who had been watching for a long time and asked about his opinion on the box office of "Jurassic Park 2". Several paparazzi were obviously prepared and deliberately stepped forward to stop the collision. Spielberg, who was once well-cared for by Hollywood, had not been treated like this for a long time. Even though he finally suppressed his emotions and did not get angry on the spot, he was still photographed by paparazzi with a dark face in the car.

The next day, the news appeared in the media that Spielberg heard the box office data of "Jurassic Park 2" left with anger.

No circle will be easily broken up in public unless it is absolutely necessary.

What's more, Daenerys Entertainment is so strong at the moment, and the media has added fuel to the fire, as if the two sides are no longer in harmony, which is very unfavorable for Spielberg himself and DreamWorks.

Just like after the conflict in "Alien ET", after the movie was successful, Spielberg retaliated against Frank Price, the then president of Universal Pictures, who made things difficult for this project, every time he signed a movie contract, he deliberately wrote the statement that he did not cooperate with the other party in the agreement. Frank Price's later situation in Hollywood can be imagined.

This time, if the circle also thinks that the contradiction between Daenerys Entertainment and Spielberg is irreconcilable, then, whether it is active or passive, there may be a side selection phenomenon. With the current situation in Hollywood, it goes without saying which side those people will choose. At that time, DreamWorks will have difficulty in stride.

Therefore, even though he was so angry that under the pressure of other senior executives of DreamWorks and partner Paramount, Spielberg had to respond to the gossip quickly and publicly issued a clarification statement, saying that the two sides had no conflicts, and specifically mentioned that there was a contract left over from the Global Times with Daenerys Entertainment, and congratulated on the success of "Jurassic Park 2".

Daenerys Entertainment also performed very well and quickly responded to the same response. Michael Bay, director of "Jurassic Park 2", also praised his predecessor in an interview with the media.

The storm seems to have disappeared.

However, early this morning, Spielberg was still having breakfast with his family when he suddenly received bad news. The latest science fiction script "Tornado" by Michael Clayton, the original novel author of "Jurassic Park", which CAA is contacting him, finally fell into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment.

The success of the series "Jurassic Park" series and "The Story of the Emergency Room" TV series has made Michael Clayton famous, and many Hollywood studios hope to win the other party's latest scripts.

In order to consolidate his position in Hollywood as much as possible, Spielberg took the initiative to suspend the "The Break of Locks" which tells the history of black slave trafficking during this period, and planned to direct a bombshell again. "Tornado" is the project he is interested in. If it were in the past few years, let alone directing it himself, even if it was just a producer's name, as long as Spielberg spoke, the screenwriters would cry and shout and send the script to him.

All these scenery has become the past in a blink of an eye.

Obviously, even if DreamWorks and Paramount are willing to call out a higher offer, Michael Clayton is more willing to hand over the project to the Daenerys Entertainment Group. The powerful technical background of Daenerys special effects can undoubtedly better display "Tornado" on the big screen.

Michael Clayton's current status can already enjoy higher profit sharing.

Leaving the project to Daenerys Entertainment will make the movie more successful, and as a screenwriter, Clayton will get more.

Spielberg did not know the "Matthew effect", but he deeply realized that he could obtain fewer and fewer resources in Hollywood.

CAA headquarters in Century City.

Upon hearing the news, Spielberg came here from his mansion in Palisade, trying to see if there is room for recovery. Michael Clayton's agency contract is in CAA.

As one of the most important clients of CAA, Michael Orwitz personally received him, but Orwitz couldn't help with this matter.

If it was the 1980s, Michael Orwitz could have made "Tornado" a package project and had a great say in which studio to sell the project to. Now everything has changed. The rise of huge bombshell movies has allowed the studio to regain the initiative in film production. The powerful Daenerys Entertainment is even more a presence that CAA needs to do its best to communicate with.

Just like this time.

Michael Orwitz also tried his best to make Clayton and Spielberg work together again, but Spielberg's attractiveness alone could not be compared with the entire Daenerys Entertainment Group. If Orwitz interferes with it, he will not only offend Daenerys Entertainment, but also lose Michael Clayton, the gold-medal client.

Of course, Michael Orwitz is not a snob who likes to change his mind.

He carefully explained this regret to Spielberg, and introduced several good scripts of the same type that he had arrived at the company early to introduce to each other one by one. The meeting lasted for an hour and confirmed that there was no hope of recovery. Spielberg could only leave temporarily with the scripts recommended by Orwitz. He also knew that the CAA president had tried his best.

Today is Friday, June 9th.

The beginning of another box office week.

After personally sending Spielberg into the elevator, Orwitz returns to his office and finally gets the box office report for the past week.

The box office of "Jurassic Park 2", which everyone is most concerned about, is actually no longer a big deal.

In the past week, Daenerys Entertainment once again launched a very exciting marketing plan, and announced the single-day box office of the movie on the official Facebook account of "Jurassic Park 2" every day. After careful study, Orwitz found that this marketing plan was absolutely a masterpiece.

Ordinary people actually do not lack the ambition to create miracles, but most people often cannot do this.

Daenerys Entertainment announced the single-day box office practice of "Jurassic Park 2" as soon as possible every day, making good use of the subtle mentality of the public's desire to participate in creating a miracle. After the first day's box office is released, it will actively create a single-week box office high, which happens to be a brand new box office miracle.

At the same time, the public only needs to buy a movie ticket to participate and witness the emergence of this miracle, and they will almost involuntarily participate. Many movie fans who have no plans to watch will inevitably be affected by this topic atmosphere and will inevitably be affected to buy tickets. After all, in any case, "Jurassic Park 2" is a commercial blockbuster that is definitely worth watching.

Recently, Orwitz, who happened to be paying attention to the Internet industry, also discovered that Daenerys Entertainment has provoked this marketing incident and further boosted the popularity of the Facebook social network under Igrett.

A kill of two birds with one stone.

Finally, from June 2 to June 8, the first week of the painting was seven days, Jurassic Park 2 was released in an unstoppable box office trend, based on the box office of $83.16 million in the first weekend, with a cumulative earnings of $129.13 million, which increased the first week record of $113 million set by last year's "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" by $16 million.

In comparison, a series of new films in the past few weeks this summer, the best-selling "Die Hard 3", has a box office of $29.88 million in the first week, which is only a fraction of the box office of "Jurassic Park 2".

What makes other studios even more uncomfortable is actually the box office performance of other films this week's impact on "Jurassic Park 2".

The No. 1 "Jurassic Park 2" had a box office of $129.13 million in the first week.

However, Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, the second-placed new film "The Dream of the Bridge", starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, had a good reputation, and the audience did not have much intersection with "Jurassic Park 2". The box office fell by 36% the next week, and the box office in a single week fell from $15.8 million to $10.13 million.

If there is no "Jurassic Park 2", the classic reputation of "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" comprehensive media score reaches 9.0, the local box office is expected to have a very beautiful long-term trend, and the total box office is expected to reach more than 70 million US dollars.

Now, from the box office of the next week, even if the decline will slow down significantly next week, since the single-week box office has fallen into the range of $10 million, it will only earn about $30 million in the future. The cumulative local box office of the film should be around $55 million, and at least $15 million shrank.

In fact, the experience of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes of the Bridge" is already very good. The production cost of this drama is only US$24 million, and the promotion and distribution are only US$10 million. However, Warner Bros. can basically recover all its investments, and make profits easily through overseas and subsequent channels.

Immediately afterwards, there is "The Ghost Elf", which is third on the list.

"The Elf", which was released at the same time as "Die Hard 3", also performed well in the box office in the first two weeks.

The first week was US$25.71 million, the second week fell by 29%, and the revenue was US$18.19 million.

However, as expected, this summer family-friendly movie that was expected to go beyond the box office for a long time was released. In the third week, it encountered "Jurassic Park 2", which was also aimed at all ages, and inevitably suffered a halved deep drop. The box office drop of 52% made the single-week box office of "The Elf" directly fall to a low of $8.61 million.

The cumulative amount of US$52.51 million in three weeks. With the theme of "The Ghost Elf", even if the subsequent decline slows down, the local box office will be only about US$70 million.

The worst thing is "Die Hard 3".

Bruce Willis starred in this $90 million action blockbuster. After $29.88 million in the first week, the box office fell 37% the next week and another $18.79 million. Subsequently, in the third week of release, it was strongly crushed by "Jurassic Park 2". "Die Hard 3"'s box office plummeted 56% in the past week, with only $8.26 million left in a single week.

After three weeks of release, the cumulative box office of "Die Hard 3" was $56.93 million.

As a typical popcorn commercial film, the box office of only $8.26 million in a single week. Even if the decline will slow down slightly in the future, "Die Hard 3" will only earn about $15 million in the future, and the local box office is expected to exceed $70 million.

The same $70 million local box office expectation as "The Elf" is not a big failure.

However, the production and promotion costs of "Die Hard 3" total of US$130 million are too high. Even if the overseas performance is better, the global box office is calculated at US$200 million, Fox will still not avoid the ending of huge losses in the short term.

Without "Jurassic Park 2", whether it is "Die Hard 3" or "The Elf", there is actually a great hope of breaking the box office threshold of 100 million yuan.

This is true in Simon's memory.

Now, just these two films have reduced the total domestic box office by $60 million. Coupled with "The Bridge's Desolation" and "The Loveless Paris" and "Extraordinary Spy" that are still being released at the same time, it is estimated that "Jurassic Park 2" has at least $100 million in box office from all these projects.

This is not counting the upcoming projects such as "Brave Heart" and "Poems of the Wind" that will be released in the next few weeks.

The box office in the first week was as high as $129 million. In addition, it has a better reputation than the first movie. It is only a matter of time before the local box office of "Jurassic Park 2" broke through the first movie of $356 million, and it is not impossible to even hit $400 million.

You know, this summer season is not the two phenomenally-level two films "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "Forrest Gump" last year. Daenerys Entertainment's other film "Apollo 13" this summer is no problem selling well, and it is definitely not a phenomenon.

Local expectations are US$400 million. In addition to the gains brought by the film itself to stimulate market demand, perhaps half of them are probably the box office potential of other films it has seized.

One rises and the other falls.

It's still one rises and the other falls.
