"Ace Spy" is a work that Mike Meles and Daenerys Entertainment failed to negotiate a subsequent cooperation agreement after the "Anti-Star" series last year and switched to Disney. Because of the success of the "Anti-Star" series, Disney generously gave Meles a pay of up to $15 million and a corresponding share contract. The production cost of this "Ace Spy" has reached $40 million, the promotion budget is $20 million, and the number of screens to be opened is 2,187.

Four movies in two weeks, before the summer season started, almost everyone believed that "Evaporation Secret Order" and "Mummy" would be the most direct competitors. If "Ace Spy" can continue the success of the "Anti-Witness" series, it will be tied with the first two.

The three films are the core of the May schedule at the beginning of the summer season.

Although "Mission: Impossible 2" will be released on May 31, it is already the June schedule.

Unexpectedly, a dark horse named "Romeo and Juliet" would emerge in a very empty space. As the popularity of the film further spreads, this movie has formed a movie-watching craze among the core teenage audiences in the summer season, especially young female audiences. Perhaps not all age groups, but who would doubt women's consumption ability?

So the situation suddenly became subtle.

If "The Mummy" is screwed up again, although the chance is very small, this summer season will be quite lively. Moreover, because of the popularity attracted by "Romeo and Juliet", Mike Meiers' "The Ace Spy" has been covered up a lot without realizing it.

Los Angeles.

When many people closely follow the latest two new films released and the subsequent performance of the movies that started last week, some people can't calm down.

In the wealthy Brentwood district in the north of Santa Monica, at around 7 o'clock in the evening, a luxury car drove into the private home of Fox Films president Joe Ross. Arnold Schwarzenegger got out and followed Joe Ross who came over to enter the villa party scene. He almost immediately felt the gaze of other people around him.

There are few people in Hollywood who have not experienced failure, well... maybe except for someone, let alone "The Evaporation Order" is not too failure, at least much better than "The Phantom Hero" there three years ago.

However, after the failure of "Phantom Heroes", because "Terminator 2" had previously been the foundation, it quickly used "Real Lies" to restore popularity, so that project did not cause much damage to Arnold's status.

This time it was obviously different.

After all, everyone has felt the increasingly obvious changes in Hollywood in recent years.

The most obvious point.

Because of the rise of the DC movie universe and the prosperity of movie special effects, the once popular super first-tier stars seem to be less valuable. If it were just like this, of course it would be nothing. If the pay was reduced a little, it would be a little bit smaller. However, because it is no longer so ‘value’, it actually means that Hollywood’s fault tolerance for super celebrities has also been greatly reduced.

The big stars in the past failed one or two movies, and there was a chance to rise again in the third movie. Now, it may be just a movie that failed, and it will be difficult for you to get better resources in the future. With the mediocre opening of "The Secret of Evaporation", everyone realized that Arnold Schwarzenegger was probably the first super big star to fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Moreover, it is definitely not just the movie "Evaporation Secret Order".

It is a natural result after a series of accumulations.

First of all, the unsatisfactory performance of "Evaporation Secret" in the market may actually mean that Schwarzenegger's best-known old-school muscular male action film is no longer popular. This trend has actually been very obvious recently. Among the series of similar films, only "The True Lies" has broken through the siege, but a series of failed projects can be listed.

Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Costner, "The Phantom Heroes", "The Throne of the Ring", "The Law Enforcement Force", "SWAT Judge", etc., and even the most recent "Evaporation Order".

The type is no longer popular, but it is nothing.

As long as you can transform in a timely manner.

The problem is here.

After experiencing a lesson from "Phantom Heroes", Schwarzenegger obviously did not completely react. After the success of "The True Lies", he thought that the genre he was good at was still full of the market, so he missed an excellent opportunity last year.

That's right.

"The Brave's Game".

And it's obviously a series.

It is also a special effects blockbuster series that almost represents the big trend in Hollywood.

Because the top-tier celebrities are too valuable, there are actually not many opportunities for them. Since super blockbusters with special effects already have selling points, the producers often choose actors with relatively affordable pay.

It is even more difficult to encounter projects that suit you based on the corresponding types.

There are no secrets in the circle.

Everyone knows that Simon Westeros initially tended to be Arnold, and the conditions given were actually quite good. Unfortunately, this super big shot wanted more, but it turned out to be a waste of opportunity.

What made the gossipers even more crazy was that this opportunity fell into the hands of Arnold's archenemy Stallone.

Before that, Arnold had been fighting against Stallone for many years.

It will not be certain in the future.

After all, Arnold rejected Simon Westeros’ project. Who knows if it will leave a knot in the heart of a young tycoon? Today, Hollywood is well known that almost all the best opportunities come from Daenerys Entertainment, and are controlled by a 28-year-old young man.

Inside Joe Ross's mansion.

Schwarzenegger, who pretended not to feel various different gazes, greeted some familiar guests, and soon avoided the party scene with Joe Ross and came to a reception room in the villa.

Whether it is the two parties involved or the guests at the lobby party, they can actually guess.

Because it's easy to guess.

"The Evaporation Secret Order" has not been satisfactory in the box office, so Arnold must consider regaining popularity.

In the original time and space, Schwarzenegger chose "Batman and Robin" in 1997. Although he received a huge salary of $20 million, it also led to a greater disaster.

This time, there is no Batman series for Arnold to choose from.

So.

what else?

That's right, Terminator.
