Chapter 1109 Leap of Faith

[3q Chinese website], wonderful novels are free to read without pop-ups!

Perhaps it really fits the saying that movies are spiritual sustenance to avoid reality.

The economic crisis across the United States is getting worse and worse. The Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge have already rained, but the North American film market has ushered in a very successful summer season.

Not only Relativity Entertainment, but also the blockbusters launched by other companies have also achieved good results.

Twentieth Century Fox is certainly not among them.

Compared with other industries, although the film industry has also been impacted, Hollywood has been in a better life, and at least few people have committed suicide.

"Look quickly! Look quickly!" someone in the restaurant shouted: "Someone jumped off the building opposite!"

This is the restaurant on the first floor of the Relativity Building. Many people went out to watch the fun. Even Ronan and Jessica Felton, who were sitting by the window, looked over there one after another.

On the building opposite the Relativity Building, you can see someone standing outside the top guardrail, and there is a tie in the air fluttering in the wind, as if the blessing of the god of death.

Jessica Felton put down the knife and fork, looked over there and said, "I can't think too much."

Ronan picked up a tissue and wiped his hands, saying, "If you live, you will face huge debts, your house will be taken away, your car will be taken away, and even your wife will run away. If you die, you will be able to finish it all."

After all, Jessica Felton grew up in this country and did not have much sympathy. The part that was forced to jump off the building was ambitious speculators.

Unfortunately, the consequences of speculation failure are often very miserable.

Ronan sighed softly: "How many times this month is it?"

"I can't remember it." Jessica Felton shook his head slightly and said, "I heard that the building opposite is mostly companies playing stocks and bond speculation."

Ronan knows something: "Yes, so when encountering an economic crisis, these people can't hold on first."

Jessica Felton suddenly thought of something and said to Ronan: "Your side..."

Although he didn't finish this, Ronan understood what it meant and said, "Don't worry. Cherish life and stay away from financial drugs."

"You." Jessica Felton didn't know what to say, but saw a police car parked in front of the building with a flashing sirens, and said, "The police are here."

Ronan glanced at the police car and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The American police have no obligation to rescue, and the more widely circulated operation is to prevent suicides from committing suicide by directly shooting suicides.

The tie fell on the ground, and then the leap of faith appeared...

Ronan pulled Jessica Felton and asked her to turn her back, saying, "Let's go, we'll go back, it's time to go to work."

Jessica Felton didn't want to see the miserable scene of falling to the ground, so he followed Ronan directly through the side door of the restaurant and returned to the front hall of the Relativity Building.

Maybe there have been too many suicides recently, and there are not many messy sounds outside, and maybe many people are used to it.

For onlookers, under this deadly economic crisis, they may become the next person to launch a "leap of faith".

This is not the first time that Ronan has seen a "suicide wave" appear. He experienced it once when the Internet bubble burst.

It can only be said that Americans or families have generally lower risk resistance.

The economic crisis caused by the real estate market and the financial industry finally exploded like a powder barrel.

Although the Washington authorities personally came to rescue the market, the help to ordinary people was limited, and the real benefits still fell into the hands of those people on Wall Street.

However, Wall Street has also been hit hard, and the situation of major companies is generally not good.

In this environment, no one on Wall Street can stay out of the matter.

But some companies can survive the most difficult stages, and after getting back to the point of getting rich, they start to make big profits and eventually become relative winners.

If there are winners, there will naturally be losers.

Some companies have reached the end of history.

Lehman Brothers filed a bankruptcy filing after the Federal Reserve refused to provide financial support, and on the same day Merrill Lynch announced it was acquired by Bank of America.

Aig, the world's largest insurer, is also unsustainable. While the US government chose to take over Aig to stabilize the market, it said that it was "unable to help" to other financial institutions.

This is only part of the outbreak of the crisis, and the stock market began to turmoil due to the impact of the financial market.

By mid-September, Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, the only remaining investment banks on Wall Street, had to apply to the Federal Reserve to transform into a bank holding company to avoid risks.

As Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley transformed into commercial banks, the traditional "Wall Street Investment Bank" disappeared as a historical term.

The federal government and the Federal Reserve proposed a series of bailout plans, but it aroused public dissatisfaction.

Ordinary Americans strongly opposed the government's aid plan. They believed that large banks first advocated capitalist laissez-faire expansion, but now something happened but they asked to pay the treasury money to save the capitalists of large banks in a socialist way, but the people were unemployed, credit bankrupt and houses were lost.

This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent occupation movement early.

Unfortunately, this is a country of capital, and the movement of occupying Wall Street will not play much role.

We can't expect Wall Street capitalists to find their conscience, so we might as well expect Ronan to help the people all over the world.

In Hollywood, although the film market performed well this year, due to the economic crisis, the stock prices of major listed companies in Hollywood seemed to fall on a waterfall, falling constantly, and there was no end at a glance. The market value of the six major Hollywood companies shrank a lot, and they are constantly shrinking.

Relativity Entertainment, which has not been listed, has relatively little impact and good news continues.

For example, after nearly four months of screening, the cumulative box office of "Avatar" in North America reached US$731.2 million, and the global box office exceeded US$2.5 billion. It is not a problem to reach its former height.

The box office share of this film has been paid in succession. Not only has the entire investment recovered, but it also has nearly $300 million in profits.

Since the screening has not yet ended, it is not impossible to achieve a box office profit of $500 million.

But with the big sale of "Avatar", the bad things that must have encountered in Hollywood's popular movies have appeared again.

Sci-fi writer Bryant Moore from Maryland sued Disney and James Cameron for plagiarizing two of his scripts on "Avatar", accusing James Cameron and producer Shahai Entertainment for breach of contract, fraud and other charges, and filed a compensation claim of up to $300 million.

This makes people speechless. Behind every big-selling movie, there are always countless "plagiarized people" appear.

It cannot be said that all these people are fake. After all, situations like "The Matrix" and "Inception" that borrow from other works also happen in Hollywood.

Not to mention the Hunger Games.

Relativity Entertainment responded with a consistent attitude. James Cameron was very concerned and even accepted a video interview on the Pacific scientific research ship: "Since the success of Terminator 2, I have seen too many such people and things. I said early on that "Avatar" is my most precious asset and a project I cultivated myself. It took me decades from the beginning of having this idea to the real creation of a concept and developing it into a movie."

It doesn't matter whether this is true or false, because no matter whether it is true or false, relativity entertainment will be regarded as true.

James Cameron was not just talking nonsense, and released drafts of the 1990s. One of them was a sketch of the big ship during the shooting of the ship. The big tree in the picture was infinitely close to the prototype of the Tree of Life on the planet Pandora.

In fact, Hollywood movies have developed to the present day. If you look carefully in any movie, you can always find any slightest shadows of other works.

On the third weekend in September, the second film of Relativity Entertainment's second film universe, "The Horror Universe", was officially released.

"The Conjuring" directed by James Wen has been released in North America with 3,560 theaters.

Because of the connection between "The Hidden", this film has a stronger audience base than the one before. Moreover, after "The Hidden" was released, the Warren and his wife became star-level characters.

This is beneficial. The gimmick adapted based on reality is conducive to the promotion of "Soul Conjuring".

There are also disadvantages, and people questioning the Warrens are endless.

Many people call the Warrens two liars because few of the cases they investigated can stand up. Many of the investigated subjects sued the couple afterwards, saying that they fabricated a bunch of stories about themselves to make money, and several of them did not prosecute and later investigated and had a history of drug use. The testimony of such "witnesses" was not credible at all.

There is also the house promoted by "The Conjuring" and the prototype is now home to someone, and nothing is done.

As for the so-called real adaptation, only 20% of the real real, and the remaining 80% depend on editing.

It is naturally beneficial to the publicity.

Compared with "Blair the Witch", the promotion of "Soul Conjuring" is definitely far higher than the conscience line.

"Soul Conjuring" is a typical haunted house horror film. Haunted house and exorcism are the two pillars of thriller films. It can be regarded as the immortal source of horror films. Moreover, haunted houses can naturally be overly possessed by ghosts, which is easier to attract audiences.

In order to create the effect of adapting "real events", echoing the easter eggs in "Luxury" and the third work that leads to the "Horror Universe", "Summoning" took several minutes to tell the story of the more realistic doll "Annabelle",

What is revealed later is another story. Annabell's "real" doll story for those few minutes is used to lay the groundwork for the "unreal" stories behind it, making them look more real.

"Summoning" implements the concept of director James-West's horror culture integration. The whole film is full of retro flavor, without plasma, no reversal, no surprise, and even the grimace is blurred. It only uses darkness, closed space and sound effects to create a sense of horror, which is more realistic, and is completely in the 1970s style.
