In the history of North American movies, the current record holder for the highest box office is "Titanic" directed by great director James Cameron, with a total global box office of more than 1.9 billion US dollars!
But now, "Iron Man", the first sci-fi blockbuster directed by Yi Feiyang, has used the power of the Internet to gross a staggering $1.5 billion in box office!
It seems that Yi Feiyang has become the most powerful challenger to the great director Cameron!
If Cameron claims to be the "King of the World", then the newly risen Yi Feiyang is the most powerful "successor to the throne"!
But before that, as soon as this terrifying data was released, the entire United States immediately became excited.
Those who originally criticized "Iron Man" immediately changed their focus and gave the film more positive and praising reviews.
"Aha, God, I have long said that the drama "Iron Man" will have a very gorgeous reversal. Now let's see if it has happened! It can be said that this drama is perfect, everything you can imagine.
, Unexpected things are all in this movie. In my opinion, it has the best battle scenes and scenes ever, and is interspersed with the humor of the whole movie, giving people the urge to watch it again. Robert Downey Jr. plays
Tony Stark is definitely a classic character comparable to Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"
…
"When I close my eyes now, in front of me are scenes of unforgettable classic scenes from the movie just now. Not to mention Iron Man's MARK3 armor, which has an industrial aesthetic and is like a work of art, but also Cage's MARK1 war beast.
The scenes of rampaging through downtown Los Angeles, as well as his rhino-like shuttle through the chaos of war, destroying buildings, and even the final showdown between the two steel demons on the ruins of the city... are all unforgettable. He even sang the tunes of the soundtrack at that time.
You can even hum it.”
…
"Some scenes in big-budget movies will indeed feel grand and beautiful when you watch them, but you will have forgotten them before you even walk out of the cinema. Others will be remembered for a long, long time. You can recall them all the time, and you will learn something every time you recall them.
Feeling, recalling the shock and emotion at that time. This is because those big scenes not only have exciting special effects and scenes, but more importantly, those wonderful scenes have unforgettable characters, rather than simply those scenes that leave memories
, such as this "Iron Man"!"
…
""Iron Man" may not be the greatest movie, but it completely surpasses previous similar themes. You must know that this is Magic Young's first super blockbuster in the United States. He defeated all previous doubts in a shocking way.
, my question now is, where is his limit?"
…
And when on the morning of the last day of this summer vacation, today's daily reports were sent to various newspapers and magazines, almost all the film review columns were full of praise for "Iron Man".
Billy Ford, a columnist for the Chicago Reader, commented:
"From an entertainment and business perspective, this is a movie that makes people excited, exciting, and endlessly memorable; from an artistic perspective, it is a film worthy of careful interpretation and taste. The plot describes the nature of war and force.
It’s very practical, I give him an A+!”
"I think "Iron Man" is a seemingly simple but extremely profound epic masterpiece. It is difficult for me to imagine that this movie was shot by a director from China. If someone told him that it was shot by Spielberg,
I will definitely believe it..." "Chicago Sun-Times" film reviewer Richard Seaman;
"Los Angeles Times" guest film critic Robbie Eyre:
"This movie called "Iron Man" expresses a new meaning to a traditional theme, far beyond the level in the original comics. Robert Downey Jr., under the guidance of Yi Feiyang, showed an unprecedented restraint.
As for his acting skills, he is starting to transform from a self-destructive drug addict to a truly shaping acting master. Yi Feiyang can make him turn around and be even better than Martin Scorsese!"
…
Glory and applause. Praise and praise surged in beyond the previous ridicule and ridicule.
This is real Hollywood!
This is the reality of Hollywood!
Regarding the shocking reversal at the box office of Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man", Colombia's acting president Abbas almost went crazy.
As for the great director Sam Raimi, he just sighed and said: "I knew it would be like this sooner or later, but I didn't expect it would come so soon!"
As for Sony Morita Akio, the boss behind Colombia, he was even furious after hearing the news.
But what is more shocking or scary at this time is the entire American film industry. Why? Because Yi Feiyang replaced traditional movie theaters with the terrible Internet!
Just imagine, if this terrible pattern continues to ferment, what will be the consequences?
Tens of thousands of movie theaters across the United States will face the challenge of the Internet. The income of movie theaters will be greatly reduced, and some will even go bankrupt. People will lose their jobs. The original rules and systems of the film industry will be broken. The more developed the network is, the more bankrupt the theater chains will be, and the stocks will plummet.
, company destruction, suicide, jumping off a building... in short, the consequences are terrible!
Of course, it's just the beginning now, and it hasn't gotten out of hand yet. As long as we nip this trend in the cradle, then there will be no problem! Everyone thinks so, everyone hopes so. But this
Who is the source of this incident? It’s Yifeiyang! It’s Fantasy Entertainment!
After understanding and clarifying this point, people began to investigate, hoping that major websites would put aside their relationship with Fantasy Entertainment from now on. In short, this kind of cooperation can only happen once! Yes, if it happens a few more times, the world will be in chaos!
But what everyone didn't expect was that according to the investigation, Fantasy Entertainment had signed such a three-year contract with major Internet companies in the world!
In other words, within three years, Fantasy Entertainment can completely ignore the safety and survival of theaters and work together with websites to create an agreement to watch movies online.
How could this be possible?!
It must be stopped!
This time, Abbas, who is the North American Film Association, was pushed out by the big guys again. Abbas, who was still immersed in failure, had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Yi Feiyang.
But Yi Feiyang doesn’t care about him at all!
I didn’t even meet him. Abbas was a complete failure!
At this time, Abbas's breach of trust and failure, as well as his own scandals, etc., broke out in a concentrated manner. The Film Association cast a vote of no confidence in him. The people also criticized him deeply. Under such circumstances, the man who once served as his behind-the-scenes
The Colombian company that is a financial supporter also issued a statement and removed Mr. Abbas from his position as acting president of Colombia!
Yes, he was completely abandoned!
Poor Abbas went from being a phoenix to a chicken. And at home, because of his scandal, his wife started to divorce him again...
For Abbas, his glory and glory have become a thing of the past, and now he no longer has any strength to fight against Yi Feiyang.
He is a complete loser!
…
"Hey, man! You don't know yet, but Fox has just taken the lead and decided to join forces with Disney, Warner, Universal, MGM and Paramount to block Columbia and not allow anyone in the industry to take on Columbia's films. Otherwise, they will be punished
These big companies have joined forces to block it!"
"What kind of news is this to you? Let me tell you, this whole thing was caused by Abbas. Do you remember how Abbas got into the industry? Because he joined Sony, the company behind Colombia, and became the chairman of the Film Association.
As the interim president of Colombia. Now that he has failed, the six major companies will of course step on him! After all, Colombia is controlled by the Japanese. Americans have been unhappy with these Japanese guys for a long time!"
"If you put it like that, I understand. This time when Colombia, controlled by the Japanese, goes to war with Fantasy Entertainment, controlled by the Chinese, these six major companies will step aside and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and then reap the benefits!"
"That's it. Whether it's Colombia or Fantasy Entertainment, they are all outsiders to the United States. No matter who loses the war, they will be severely trampled by the six major companies!"
"Ah, I didn't expect the Hollywood entertainment industry to be so dark!"
"It's not darkness, it's reality! The water here is too deep, and laymen like you and I can't understand it at all! In short, Colombia and Abbas are the unlucky ones!"
…
Three days later, everyone in the entire industry knew that the six major Hollywood film companies, led by Fox, had joined forces to drive out Columbia Group. No one dared to take on Columbia's film, because everyone knew what the consequences would be.
In fact, even if it is accepted, there is no way to sell it to Europe and Asia, it can only be sold locally, which is of no benefit to the actors.
The vigorous beating of the lost dog gave the Sony company behind Colombia a headache. The boss Akio Morita never thought that he had just lost a war, but it seemed like he had lost the entire world. In order to save Colombia, let it be restored.
It seems like it takes a lot of effort to raise the flag.
First, Sony once again contacted the reformed Motion Picture Association of America, claiming that the Japanese would never interfere in any decision-making of Columbia Pictures in the future. Columbia was still led by native-born Americans, and Sony was only maintaining financial assistance in the rear.
.
Sony's submission and weakness allowed Colombia to escape the disaster. However, as the scapegoat, Abbas, the former acting president and chairman of the Film Association, was once again singled out and criticized. He was called a "traitor" by the Americans.
Called a "morally corrupt guy" by movie fans.
Abbas collapsed! This time he really collapsed!
God! Actors and filmmakers across the United States have drawn a clear line with him and stopped talking to him. And the film companies that had flattered him in the past even turned him away, and no one was willing to accept him.
Abbas is miserable. He never knew that making a movie would be so difficult. Now he regrets it very much. If he didn't fight for a little victory and revenge, he would have won a lot of victories.
What he didn't expect even more was that the guys he once looked down on would abandon him and laugh at him. He had really become a worthless prop!
He had heard what Yi Feiyang said: "Whoever loses his pants in the end may be someone else!" He didn't believe it before, but now he believes it. Now he understands that power is not enough in the film industry.
of.
The Hollywood entertainment industry is a complex web of relationships. In addition to the seven major film companies, there are also Fantasy, Lions Gate, Dimensions, New Line... and even some small companies that I look down on at all. Originally, I relied on big companies.
He would easily defeat those small companies. But the result was that all the guns were pointed at him!
He didn't deserve to lose. But he had to admit that he did lose. Because he was the one who provoked Yi Feiyang first, and Yi Feiyang never responded. This does not mean that Yi Feiyang has nothing to do, but that Yi Feiyang
I don’t want to touch him for the time being. Once Yi Feiyang has such an idea, it will be easy to defeat him. Just like this time, the outcome will be decided in one round, but in the end, he lost!
After receiving the news of Colombia's disastrous defeat, Yi Feiyang smiled because Colombia had lost its recognition in the industry and was losing money every day if it continued like this. And the actions of the six major companies to beat the loser were also within Yi Feiyang's expectation. Even
Yi Feiyang knew very clearly that if he was the loser this time, the result of Fantasy Entertainment would be worse than Colombia!
Hollywood in the United States will never allow film companies controlled by outsiders to become bigger and stronger. Columbia is Japanese and Fantasy Entertainment is Chinese. For the six major companies, these are all enemies!
Colombia is now being suppressed by external forces. According to accurate calculations, Yi Feiyang can at least purchase part of the company's equity at a price lower than the original stock price. You know, what investors like to do most is to sell their stocks when their owners are unlucky!
Accompanied by two bodyguards, Yi Feiyang left the company and came to the parking lot. In the parking lot, there was a familiar and unfamiliar person standing next to Yi Feiyang's BMW. It was Abbas, and his face was as gray as death.
Staring at Yi Feiyang quietly.
The bodyguards reacted very quickly. A black bodyguard immediately protected Yi Feiyang with his tall figure, while the other bodyguard drew his gun and stood ready. Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile lightly and pushed away the black bodyguard.
body, waving: "It's okay!"
Losers are dangerous. But Yi Feiyang has no fear. If he is even afraid of his own defeated generals, then he is not worthy of today's results. Slowly coming to Abbas, Abbas moved his hand, and the black man
The bodyguard was shocked and grabbed him, only to realize that Abbas had just taken out a pack of cigarettes.
He handed one to Yi Feiyang, who shook his head slightly: "Sorry, man, I usually only draw one brand!"
Abbas tried to look calmer, lit the cigarette with trembling hands, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down: "Hey, Yi, I didn't expect you to win this time!"
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "I've always been winning, you just don't know it!"
Yi Feiyang smiled and looked at the guy in front of him who was so depressed that he almost wanted to commit suicide. He felt that Abbas was very pitiful. As the chairman of the North American Film Association, he had all the power, status and glory, but he was too greedy.
Clicking on the bait, in order to become a Hollywood boss, he ruined everything at all costs.
The saddest thing for a person is not that he has nothing, but that he originally had a lot, but now he has lost it all!
But what can be done? In the market, you either lose or win, and people who neither lose nor win are never allowed to exist.
"Yes, Yi, you are like a myth. You are always winning. I just don't know it!" Abbas stared at the smiling Yi Feiyang in front of him. At this time, he realized that Yi Feiyang had changed a lot.
, from the sharp-edged young Chinese guy to a deep and reserved guy.
"Actually..." Abbas hesitated for a moment. He was wondering if he should explain something, but he was afraid that Yi Feiyang would think he was showing weakness. After thinking about it, he decided to say it. Anyway, he was afraid of losing everything.
What: "Actually, you know, forcing those five theater chains, that was not my idea!"
"I know you are not that kind of person." Yi Feiyang knew very well that Abbas's arrogance was indescribable, otherwise he would not be the chairman of the North American Film Association and still compete with him.
"Thank you!" This thank you was sincere, even the two bodyguards beside Yi Feiyang could hear it.
Abbas smiled bitterly: "God, I think, I really understand why I lost to you. In fact, you always knew what I was going to do, but you tolerated it and then defeated me once to prove your profound love."
Strength! Of course, if my guess is right, you have another purpose. Isn’t it anti-monopoly in North America? Theater monopoly is not allowed. But if you want to push Fantasy Entertainment to the position of a giant company, you must control a large number of theater chains.
, how to do it, you need to find someone who can stand out, and that person is undoubtedly me... I was very complacent when I took over Columbia. Yes, Yi, I was blinded by greed at that time, and indirectly helped you complete the control of the theater chain.
job. But these are all your wedding clothes! Now, I’m afraid those theater chains are afraid of you. Your online premiere directly pushed them to the edge!"
The two bodyguards around Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be shocked. They had always protected Yi Feiyang, and they knew Yi Feiyang's affairs to some extent. But after following Yi Feiyang for so long, they had never seen Yi Feiyang behave like this.
This thought, if true, would be too profound.
"You're right, Mr. Abbas. Sometimes I really can't help but admire you. Unfortunately, from the day we became rivals, it was destined to be a winner." Yi Feiyang felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.
Taste. This was the first powerful opponent he had truly defeated in his life. He thought he had really won, and he had won so thoroughly that Abbas had to be convinced.
In fact, Abbas's conjecture was correct. Yi Feiyang did plan to use him from the beginning. Although there were several accidents along the way, he was still controlled by Yi Feiyang. With a faint smile, he said softly:
"There are still some things you haven't thought of, man! The reason why I tolerated you from the beginning and tolerated Colombia's provocations again and again is because I wanted to use you to suppress the light of Fantasy Entertainment."
As the saying goes, everything is clear. With Yi Feiyang's reminder, Abbas, who was already smart, suddenly understood, and his heart was full of bitterness. If he had not completely surrendered before, now he truly knew that he had lost.
Yes, losing is inevitable.
Last year, Fantasy Entertainment won half of the top ten rankings in one fell swoop, including the box office championship. For a company that has just been established a few years ago, such a light is definitely conducive to development. But don’t ignore it. This is
The film industry is a cruelly competitive film industry in Hollywood.
The rise of Fantasy Entertainment undoubtedly threatened the existence of other giant companies. Yi Feiyang even thought that Paramount boss Raymond, who had a good relationship with him at the time, would find it difficult to tolerate the success of Fantasy. This has nothing to do with friendship, but it means a threat
For a company that has been established for four years, it is difficult to gain real say in a place like the film industry.
Therefore, in order to avoid the edge and exclusion from other companies, the appearance of Abbas undoubtedly became an excellent target. Under Yi Feiyang's untimely retreat, Abbas pressed forward step by step, allowing other films to
The company is sitting back and waiting for the show.
Well, since you want to see it, I will perform it for you.
Yi Feiyang is a born performer, and behind the light of the movie, his profound wisdom shines. Just like the last time he played with New Line Cinema, from the outside, what must never happen has happened.
New Line Cinema, which was trying to take advantage of the situation, failed to steal the chicken but ended up losing a lot of money. Instead, it was tricked by Fantasy Pictures. A mid-sized company that was originally promising was pitifully "ravaged" by Yi Feiyang.
Now it has basically become a vassal of Fantasy Entertainment and Fox.
Of course, the success of this incident has also made other Hollywood companies think more highly of Dream. At least this is no longer the little brother following behind them, but an existence that can threaten their status.
Just when the big companies were thinking about how to deal with Fantasy Entertainment in the future, Colombia, run by Abbas, once again took the lead. In other words, Japan's Sony behind Colombia once again stood up stupidly and wanted to fight Fantasy Entertainment to the death.
Abbas himself is a smart man, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne of the chairman of the North American Film Association. However, the biggest weakness of smart people is that they underestimate their enemies too much. However, after Abbas and Yi Feiyang faced off several times, this kind of
Contempt has turned into attention, but it is precisely because he attaches too much importance that Abbas is eager to defeat Yi Feiyang once.
A rare opportunity has come. Although Abbas knows very well that the six major Hollywood film companies are waiting to watch the fight without taking action. But Abbas believes that this opportunity is rare. In the words of the Chinese, it is the right time and the right place.
He Du was on his side, and he had no reason not to win. So he naturally became a gladiator and wanted to fight Yi Feiyang to the death.
At exactly this time, Yi Feiyang also needed a very good stepping stone to serve as his own ladder of advancement.
Too much forbearance! Yi Feiyang thinks it's time for him to fight back. He can no longer sit back and wait for others to bully him. This is what widows do. Yi Feiyang wants to establish his authority, tell everyone, and want to defeat Fantasy Entertainment
, Okay, come on, but be careful, when you want to bite off a piece of Fantasy Entertainment, we will break a piece of your bone!
Obviously, Fantasy Entertainment is trying to scare the monkeys, and poor Abbas and the Colombia he is in charge of have become broken bones and showpieces!
After thinking about this, Abbas's already very gray and scary face became even more bleak, with his face turning green and red. He never expected that he would be controlled by Yi Feiyang from the beginning. This kind of
The feeling of failure was even more bleak than losing the chairmanship of the North American Film Association.
He clearly experienced the terrible feeling of being controlled by others. This feeling was like a chronic poison, which could gradually make people fall into inevitable fear in the days to come, making people miserable forever.
Yi Feiyang sympathized with Abbas, but he was also very grateful to Abbas. Without Abbas and the pressure from Colombia, he would not have been able to grow so fast, let alone think of such treacherous means. Sometimes for some people
For people, pressure means motivation.
In fact, life is about constantly making progress in the competition with opponents, but sometimes you are fighting against people, sometimes you are fighting against heaven, and sometimes you are fighting against society. And Yi Feiyang is very lucky to have chosen an opponent that suits him.
, gradually progress and grow in the competition, and will have stronger strength to cope with stronger challenges in the future.
"I understand, Yi, you are indeed worthy of that title, Miracle Yang... you have always been creating legends and miracles, but I was stupidly blinded and did not believe in these legends and miracles. I can't lose.
Injustice! Yes, God knows how much wisdom and luck it takes to defeat you!"
At this point, Abbas still attributes part of his failure to luck, which makes Yi Feiyang feel funny, but think about it, if he hadn't created a series of blockbuster movies because he "could see the future". Maybe this would
Some of the "luck" will no longer follow you.
Luck is really a necessary bargaining chip to determine destiny!
"Actually, I'm here to say goodbye to you this time!" Abbas said bitterly. "I'm afraid I'm the first to say goodbye to my biggest rival."
"Yi, I just said, I didn't lose unjustly! But it's not you who forced me to leave the United States, it was me who wanted to leave...Leave here, leave this colorful but cunning place, and my yellow-faced woman, just
The woman you hyped up and almost divorced me will go to England to spend the rest of her life!"
"You know, Yi, from now on I look forward to you winning, and keep winning! Beat Fox, win Paramount, win Spielberg, and the King of the World, James Cameron!"
"Because only in this way can I tell people that I lost to you not because I was weak, but because you were too strong! No one can defeat you!"
"Isn't it ridiculous? A loser prays for his opponent to keep winning?!"
"Okay, goodbye, Yi. We'll see you later! I hope that when you become the true king of the world, don't forget that you had a rival like me!" After Abbas finished speaking, he waved and left.
Looking at his lonely back, Yi Feiyang said to himself: "Just wait, man, this day won't be long! Yes, never!"
