Fantasy Entertainment Holdings New Line immediately caused a stir in the entire Hollywood. No one could have imagined that New Line, which was originally competing with Fantasy, would be so crippled and directly taken into the hands of others. As one of the shareholders behind New Line, Warner
The company was also caught off guard. They did not expect that Yi Feiyang would move so quickly, and they did not expect that New Line's weaknesses would be so accurately grasped. You know, Warner has always been eyeing New Line and even regarded it as its own.
subsidiaries to treat it, but now...
Warner wanted to try its best to save the situation, negotiated with Fantasy Entertainment, reached an agreement, and finally "operated" New Line through cooperation. Since then, New Line's "independent dream" has been completely shattered and it has become the most famous "puppet company" in Hollywood.
Regarding the future development of New Line, Yi Feiyang has always requested that the other party first transfer "The Lord of the Rings" to Fantasy Entertainment for distribution. Of course, the production is still the same as the original team. Yi Feiyang clearly knows that the future of the "Lord of the Rings" series will
But earning a total of 2.9 billion at the box office is definitely a gold mine. Warner also wanted to acquire "Lord of the Rings", but its shares were not as large as Fantasy Entertainment's. In the end, they had to accept their fate. At least Fantasy promised to hand over some good New Line movies to Warner in the future.
Come to "Agent".
For Yi Feiyang, there are also some benefits to cooperating with Warner. After all, there are many friends and many paths, so you can't be too cautious in doing things.
In addition to controlling New Line, Fantasy Entertainment also held a press conference to disclose its 2002 shooting plan, including "How to Train Your Dragon" in the animated film field, and "Saw 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the sequel series.
, "Despicable Me 2", documentaries include "Fahrenheit 9/11", new films include "The Passion of the Christ", "Lord of the Rings 2" which has just been stolen, and "The Butler".
Regarding the play "The Passion of the Christ", Yi Feiyang finally reached an agreement with Mel Gibson. Gibson gave up starring in the play and only served as screenwriter and director. This made Yi Feiyang relieved. After all, Mel
Playing Jesus is a bit... too risky. Of course, Yi Feiyang also paid the price for this, that is, Mel Gibson was allowed to choose his own actors. And the play had to be scheduled to be screened on Easter. In this regard, Yi Feiyang could only
Nod in agreement.
In the end, Mel Gibson failed to escape the "arrangement of fate" and chose Catholic actor James Caviezel to play Jesus in the film. However, in order to show this religious figure more vividly, James Caviezel was asked to
Had "plastic surgery". His nose was fake and his blue eyes turned brown.
Before the filming of the film started, Yi Feiyang invited a Canadian priest to preside over a mass ceremony for the crew according to Mel Gibson's request. Originally, Yi Feiyang was going to have a "Hong Kong-style worship", but when he thought about it,
If these Catholics went to pay homage to Brother Guan, it would probably lead to a stabbing incident, so Yi Feiyang immediately gave up the idea.
On March 4, 2002, Yi Feiyang bid farewell to Mel Gibson and his crew and left the United States. Lao Mei took his crew to several remote towns in Italy to start filming. It is said that there was a man named Matra there.
Many cave-like buildings are still preserved in the towns, which are almost similar to the environment where Jesus lived. Gibson is also a strict person, although he is not yet at the level of a tyrant director like Yi Feiyang. But he treated the Romans,
Jews have very strict requirements on clothing, utensils, architecture, eating habits, and even the way they walk and talk. It seems that this drama will be a high-quality one in the future.
There is not much to say about the "Lord of the Rings" that was recently extorted from New Line. In the words of some people, Yi Feiyang is a robber, a bandit, and a Hollywood bully!
For this film, Yi Feiyang almost used the original cast, and the great director Peter Jackson is still the director. This talented person who Yi Feiyang admired extremely in his previous life will continue to serve as director and lead the team to create the "Lord of the Rings" series.
However, for Yi Feiyang, what he admires most about Peter Jackson is his early "Zombies", and he is planning to let this guy go back to his old career and make such a zombie movie.
In addition to firmly grasping the second and third parts of "The Lord of the Rings", Yi Feiyang has also not let go of the DVD release of the first part, as well as game production... His approach is to pick the flesh from the bones.
, once again chilling New Line, the former president Mr. Bob even wanted to die. In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang went so far was because of the huge profits made by this drama in terms of DVDs and games. These two alone
Xiang directly helped Fantasy Entertainment earn 100 million!
Yi Feiyang's shamelessness makes many people hate him, but Fantasy Entertainment's two dramas "The Passion of the Christ" and "Lord of the Rings 2" still attracted a lot of attention. As for the drama "The Butler", it suddenly appeared
This is where things get a bit strange.
Many people don’t understand why Fantasy Entertainment suddenly made a movie with such a theme, and what is its purpose?!
In fact, this drama was specially created by Yi Feiyang for Clinton. The reason why he created such a drama for him was not because Yi Feiyang wanted to praise Clinton, but because Yi Feiyang owed Clinton a huge favor.
Others don't know it, but Yi Feiyang knows very well that the reason why he was able to take the lead in finding the lifeline of New Line Company, the bank loan, and the equity held by Empire Company was entirely due to Clinton's revelation of the news!
That's right, it was Clinton who revealed to Yi Feiyang that during his years as president, Clinton often obtained things from the CIA, including these relatively secret trade secrets.
Therefore, Clinton was the mastermind behind the demise of New Line. In order to "recognize" his achievements, Yi Feiyang promised to create a drama for him. After much thought, Yi Feiyang finally finalized the "White House Butler".
In his previous life, the movie "The Butler" originated from a news report. Starting from the Eisenhower period, Eugene Allen served in the White House for a full 34 years, and finally retired as the "Chief Butler of the White House" during the Reagan administration.
He has experienced a total of 8 presidents. He has witnessed not only major historical events such as the assassination of Kennedy and Nixon's resignation due to the Watergate incident, but also the ups and downs experienced by the black movement in the United States over the years, as well as the improvement and promotion of black rights.
A year before his death, he appeared as a special guest at Obama's inauguration.
Director Lee Daniels, who has made films such as "Precious", fell in love with this story. He has always been known for his ability to deal with racial issues. He not only wanted to tell American history from a new angle with his new film, but also wanted to use this character to reflect
Examine the situation of African Americans in mainstream American society.
The production cost of "The Butler" was only US$25 million, which is only enough to pay a big-name actor in Hollywood. However, the cast of this film is quite strong, which shows the charm of this subject. Best Actor Forest Whitaker
Starring as the male protagonist, Oprah Winfrey, the "Queen of Talk Shows" who has always topped the Celebrity 100 Power List, will play his wife. Multiple generations of U.S. presidents will also appear in the film, with Alan Rickman playing Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan, and Ronald Reagan.
Bin Williams plays Eisenhower, John Cusack plays Nixon, and James Marsden plays Kennedy - counting presidents and recognizing stars is definitely an interesting aspect of this movie.
Now, Yi Feiyang designed the play in advance, and took the initiative to invite and interview the real-life "White House Butler" Eugene Allen. After getting his approval, he created the script. As for Clinton, Yi Feiyang never expected that
Feiyang would help him create such a drama, yes, he really didn't expect it. Where is the White House, the president's residence, and who is he? A former president of the United States! He played the president in the drama, and it was perfect!
Yes, Clinton will play the role of his predecessor, President Reagan, in this drama. Now Clinton is confident that he has the ability to play the role of the "actor-turned-president" well. But for Yi Feiyang, this is not enough.
In the previous life, this movie had celebrity guest appearances, almost a gathering of stars. This time, Yi Feiyang also wants to create a movie with all the stars shining.
Finding guest stars is easy, as long as you have enough face, Yi Feiyang is now considered a popular figure in Hollywood, and has socialized with Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc.
.
The most important thing is that Clinton has served as president for many years. He has met many political celebrities and has a good relationship with the White House. He even invited many outstanding people who have retired from politics to make guest appearances in this drama. It can be said that
, this "The White House Butler" created by Future Fantasy Entertainment is definitely more famous than the previous one and is of a higher quality! Of course, the production cost is also slightly more expensive than the previous one. How can I say, every penny is worth it.
Distribute goods, right?!
In addition to the above-mentioned movies that are about to be shot, the movies that Fantasy Entertainment will launch in the next few months include the highly anticipated "The Hunger Games", the animated masterpiece "Corpse Bride", etc.
In particular, the drama "The Hunger Games" was originally written and directed by Yi Feiyang, but in the end it was replaced on the spot. However, the audience's expectations for this drama are the highest, due to the reputation of Yi Feiyang as a gold medal screenwriter, so this
Five million pre-sale tickets for the play were sold within three days. In other words, based on the calculation of six dollars per ticket, the box office of this play has reached an astonishing more than 30 million before it is released. Of course,
These movie-watching groups are mainly targeted at teenagers and fanatical fans of Yi Feiyang.
…
In view of the above series of major actions of Fantasy Entertainment, today's Fantasy Entertainment has been directly called the "eighth largest company in Hollywood", keeping pace with MGM, Fox, Columbia, etc.
In just four years, it has transformed from a small film company to the new Hollywood giant it is now. The success of Fantasy Entertainment seems to be as much a myth as the owner who created it, Yi Feiyang.
As a result, Fantasy Entertainment became famous, and Yi Feiyang became famous and was hailed as the new generation of Hollywood tycoons! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
