Vol 2 Chapter 7859: Paid

"Robin Hood" starring Russell Crowe has attracted enough attention. It cost 200 million US dollars to produce. It is also a biographical film of the legendary British hero "Robin Hood". The harvest should be good, but the results seem to be unsatisfactory.
The premiere of this film started flat, and there was no applause at the end of the film. In contrast, the press conference was much hotter. This is the case all over the world. As long as there are stars, the film will have enough attention.
However, when the TV media set up cameras at the exit of the theater to interview the audience's perceptions one by one, most of the interviewees said that ‘the film is very general’ ‘but that’s it’.
"Political turmoil, ancestors seeking roots, love budding and other three lines go hand in hand, making the story bloated and cumbersome. The second half of the story is even more chaotic, irrelevant, and unbalanced in rhythm. The film focuses on the birth and origin of Robin Hood, but it is Robin Hood unfortunately. The character creation is incomplete and superficial, and the lack of throughout the story limits the enthusiasm for movie watching, and the excellent cultural atmosphere and the charm of the times cannot save the entire movie."
The reputation of this epic film on the Internet, the premiere and the end of the early stage have already fallen.
"The heroes and heroines played by Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, I can't remember who among the screen lovers is more boring than them, this is a disaster."
David Ellison wants to make this film successful, but there are too many traditional forces in Hollywood that don't want him to succeed, and Duke is just one of them.
If the audience’s reputation is good enough, in fact, they can’t do much, but the reputation of the film is really bad, especially when Robin Hood, played by Russell Crowe, is fat and old, and is frantically complained.
Many people in Hollywood united quietly and tacitly to prepare to suppress "Robin Hood", not only against David Ellison, but also Russell Crowe.
This former Oscar actor and 20 million club member has a temperament very similar to Mel Gibson. He is almost synonymous with arrogance and arrogance. In his most popular and appealing years, he treated film companies and brokers. The company's attitude can no longer be described as bad. At that time, he had enough market value. For the sake of business interests, those people could bear it, but it was like Tom Cruise before. When their career slipped, they would naturally stretch their feet and kick him a few times.
While "Robin Hood" was released on a large scale on Friday, the scandal about Russell Crowe and "Robin Hood" on the Internet was spreading almost at lightning speed, instantly sharing key positions on websites such as Google. Can see relevant information.
One of the highlights is that when "Robin Hood" was in preparation, Russell Crowe asked to change the director, the script, and the heroine Sienna Miller on the eve of filming.
The 44-year-old Russell Crowe is no longer the strong man with muscular knots back then. Now he is another version of Tom Hanks. Although Disney has formulated a strict fitness program for him, he hasn’t gotten off at all. He was fat, he had scenes with the heroine in "Robin Hood", worried that he would be old and fat, and Sienna Miller, who was originally determined by the crew, was young and beautiful, with a slender figure. He would definitely be lost in the scene. A laughingstock for everyone. Therefore, the producer is required to replace Sienna Miller.
Big-name stars always have privileges. Sienna Miller lost a heroine in this way, and Cate Blanchett, who was relatively not good in appearance, took her place.
Once all this news was widely circulated, coupled with Robin Hood's wide and fat appearance in the film, Russell Crow suddenly became the laughing stock of the United States...
Although Disney and Russell Crowe’s William Morris tried their best to dispel rumors that Sienna Miller left the crew due to inappropriate schedules, but Russell Crowe was ridiculed everywhere on the Internet.
"Russell Crowe is too much..."
"Should be replaced by Ubi? Fort Gordon..."
A male protagonist who does not invite the audience to see will undoubtedly drag down a movie, not to mention the quality of the movie itself is really average.
Perhaps it is Ridley Scott's good reputation for decades, and the information on the Internet has not yet fully fermented. On the Friday of the release of "Robin Hood", more than 3,600 theaters in North America received a box office of a little more than 10 million U.S. dollars, ranking second in the box office chart of the day, not particularly bad.
Ranked ahead of it. It is Duke's "Inception", this film easily won the single-day box office champion for $13.27 million.
On Saturday, the single-day box office of "Inception" rose to $14.56 million, but "Robin Hood" suffered a significant decline due to the poor reputation of the audience and negative news. Only $6.21 million was reported that day.
Compared with "Robin Hood"'s huge investment in production costs and publicity, everyone can tell at this time that this will be a film that will make investors vomit blood.
"Ruth, good news..."
In the apartment in West Hollywood, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked into the gym and said to Sienna Miller, who was sweating on the treadmill, "Robin Hood's first week box office was much lower than expected!"
Hearing this, Sienna Miller immediately turned off the treadmill, took the towel hung around her neck and wiped her sweat, and said to her manager, "Are there any specific numbers?"
"On the first Wednesday, I only got close to 21 million U.S. dollars." The manager hurried over, "This movie will definitely lose money, and it will be a big loss! CinemaScore predicts that the final North American box office of this movie will not exceed 50 million dollars!"
Sienna Miller's originally stiff face, rarely put on a smile, a film like "Robin Hood" can indeed recover the investment through multiple channels, but how many years will it take? Twenty years or thirty years? How to calculate the resulting time cost and currency devaluation?
She knows very well that this film is a deal!
"It's better to pay more!" Sienna Miller put away her smile, gritted her teeth and said, "It made David Ellison's loss even more serious, and let the Russell Crow roll out of the front line. Come down!"
Russell Crowe kept squeezing her out of the crew, and David Ellison accepted his request and made the decision to replace her.
From that moment on, Sienna Miller hated them to the extreme, and she also looked forward to the failure of "Robin Hood" indefinitely.
And her agency, Sienna Miller and Russell Crowe belong to William Morris, and William Morris must be biased towards Russell Crowe in this matter. After all, compared to each other, she is just a Little star only.
Thinking of William Morris, the long-considered matter came to Sienna Miller's mind again. She was about to change a brokerage company, and some people had contacted her, but she was hesitant.
She asked her manager, "What about Inception? How many box offices did you get this weekend?"
"$39.25 million!" The manager seems to know what Sienna Miller is thinking. "Duke Rosenberg’s film has achieved three consecutive championships. The cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 300 million US dollars and the global box office has exceeded 800 million. Dollars!"
After a pause, the manager said tentatively, "Ruth, how are you thinking about Nancy Josephson's invitation?"
Sienna Miller frowned, but did not answer immediately.
Seeing that she seemed to hesitate, the manager couldn’t help but persuade,
William Morris did too much on Russell Crowe’s affairs. They didn’t pay enough attention to you. On the other hand, ICM, Nancy Joseph Sessen not only invited you personally. ,and……"
She increased her tone, "Joining ICM means that it is very possible to cooperate with Duke Rosenberg! Don't you want to seize this opportunity?"
A fool doesn't want to seize this opportunity!
Sienna Miller is certainly not a fool. She only considered for a few seconds before nodding heavily, "You go and contact Nancy Josephson."
With the advent of the working day, "Robin Hood"'s single-day box office plummeted to the level of 1 million US dollars, destined to become the first commercial production of this summer file that completely failed, and "Inception" continues to maintain a stable box office trend. After passing the 300 million U.S. dollar threshold, striving to move towards 400 million, the global box office is also steadily moving towards the billion U.S. dollar mark.
"Four big productions, David Ellison has screwed up the first one!"
In the lounge of the Duke’s Manor, Scarlett Johansson put down the script he had been studying recently, and said to Duke, who was peeling oranges,
Even if the published data is watery, the total investment in Robin Hood will exceed 300 million US dollars, nearly half of which is David Ellison’s investment, I think he will be very painful.
Duke shrugged, "He has a rich dad."
That's how it is said, but Larry Ellison's money is not blown by the wind. If David Ellison messes up too many times, Larry Ellison will certainly not tolerate unlimitedly.
After peeling the oranges, Duke divided half of them to Scarlett, and at the same time threw a slice into his mouth, "I want to see if all four productions fail, can David Ellison stay here? In the circle, continue to play with his big hand."
"It shouldn't be long." Scarlett mumbled while eating oranges. "It is said that Disney is already planning the release of "Genesis", "Alien Battlefield" and "Super Battleship."
She seemed to think of something and reminded Duke, "The Year of the War" will be released in December of this year, and it is likely to come across with our new film.
The new film has already passed the review of Warner Bros. Duke intends to start formal preparations in June. Time is very tight to catch up with next year’s Oscars.
While he was thinking about this, a soft knock on the door sounded, and Tina Fei pushed the door and walked in and said to Duke, "Martin Miller of William Morris wants you to meet?"
Duke frowned slightly. What did Natalie Portman's agent ask for? (To be continued.)
