Fantasy Entertainment and Apple made peace with each other and cooperated together, which surprised the onlookers. Especially those guys who wanted Yi Feiyang and Jobs to fight and lose both sides, they were completely dumbfounded.
"How could this happen? Does it mean that Daxia Qiao can't resist China Yi?"
"Ha, this may be the so-called hero cherishing the hero, but I still hope to see them beat to a bloody head!"
“I have to admit, this result is quite surprising!”
…
There are opinions on both sides, some are good and some are bad, but for those fans of Yi Feiyang's movie, such a big ending feels like everyone is happy, because they like Apple's mobile phones and computers, and even more like Yi Feiyang's movies!
The time has arrived on July 12, and there are still three days left before "I Am Legend" is released.
The outside world has been incredibly hot, and the employees inside Fantasy Entertainment, although everyone is holding their breath, are still working hard.
Yi Feiyang is also very calm. After all, he has experienced so many movie releases and box office battles. He is considered an old man. Apart from expectations, he seems to have no nervousness.
In the office, Yi Feiyang sat across from an old friend.
That old friend was not an outsider, but Gusta, the boss of Lionsgate Pictures. Gusta was a bit too old. His original handsome face and beautiful mustache had lost the vitality before, replaced by a kind of
Tired and calm.
Yes, anyone who has been immersed in a circle like Hollywood for more than ten years will be teased, intrigued, and worked hard, which is very energy-consuming.
"Yi. Is this really what you think?" Gusta's expression was a little serious. He did not expect that his old friend would make such a request.
"Yes. Dear Gusta, I have thought about it very seriously. No matter how fast or how strong my Fantasy Entertainment is, it cannot withstand the encirclement of the seven major Hollywood film companies.
, unless Fantasy cooperates with Lionsgate and Dimensions Pictures! No. To be precise, it is a merger!"
Yi Feiyang's tone left no room for doubt.
Three major companies merging?
Fantasy, Lion Gate, Emperor Gate!
Only a madman like Yi Feiyang can think of it.
But it is undeniable that this is indeed a crazy idea. If the three companies merge together, their basic strength can even compete with any of the seven major film companies!
If they are scattered, they can only succumb to the established big companies. If they merge, they will be invincible!
Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Gusta thought hard. He considered the interests involved.
"So, dear Yi, who will be in charge after the merger? Is it you, me, or Johnson from Dimensity?"
Yi Feiyang smiled. He clearly understood that both he and Gusta were eager to be the person in charge, because if the three companies really merged, they would become an epoch-making new giant, and even be able to do so in the future.
Becoming the overlord of the Hollywood film industry, who doesn’t desire such honor?
"It's better to decide by guessing."
"What?"
"Oh, just kidding!" Yi Feiyang said, "The atmosphere is too serious, please lighten it up."
"This is a very fatal question, isn't it?" Gusta said, "It's difficult even for you to answer."
"Yes." Yi Feiyang admitted, "Ever since I conceived this idea, it has been difficult for me to answer, because in my opinion, I am the most suitable to lead the company, and you can only take a back seat."
"You are very direct, dear Yi, but... I hope you can also understand us. Although we are older than you, we are more eager to succeed... Therefore, I think it is better to wait for a while before merging the three companies.
Bar."
Seeing what Gusta said, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?"
Gusta stood up and was about to leave when he heard this and said: "If one day you can replace Cameron as the 'King of the World', then maybe Johnson and I will recognize your authority and be your loyal subordinates!" After that,
Gusta smiled and left.
Beat Cameron?!
Yi Feiyang heard about this seemingly "impossible" task again.
How to defeat him?
As we all know, the difference between James Cameron and all major directors in filming is that he is willing to burn money, pursue the most gorgeous visual effects at all costs, and his works are full of imagination. In every article describing Cameron's life in detail,
The word "notorious" is almost unavoidable - yes, he was a demanding, domineering "patient" on set; to his Hollywood peers, Cameron was an eccentric paranoid and a money-burner.
machine.
It can be said that James Cameron is the most eye-catching director of the 20th century. He is also the current and future record holder of the highest film investment, and the super overlord with the highest global box office. Can Yi Feiyang defeat such an awesome person?!
Originally, Yi Feiyang even considered starting the filming of "Avatar," Cameron's most brilliant movie in his previous life, but after investigation, he discovered that the film had already been filed and everything was under preparation. In other words, originally in 2005
The filming of "Avatar" will not start until 2020, but it inexplicably started filming two years in advance.
Yi Feiyang didn't know that these changes were actually the result of his own actions.
As director Yi Feiyang's fame is at its peak, and he continues to defeat three of the four major directors in Hollywood, Cameron senses a crisis. He must use practical actions to prove his authority as the director king, so the best
The way is to start shooting a new movie that is enough to detonate the world. Yes, this movie is "Avatar"!
Originally, the concept of this drama was not mature enough, but Cameron couldn't control that much. Now he can't delay it any longer and must give the Chinese guy a head-on blow.
Cameron's advance preparation for "Avatar" can be said to have forced Yi Feiyang into a dead end. Yi Feiyang believed that he could not find a work that could beat "Avatar". There was none in his previous life. "Avatar" is almost a movie
The Himalayas in the center are the highest peaks of the highest peaks. I am unable to fight back at all.
But so far, Yi Feiyang knows deeply that he has not reached the point where he has to fight Cameron. On the contrary, in front of him, his new movie "I Am Legend" has been directly targeted by Warner's "Terminator 3"
.
Speaking of which, Cameron, the creator of "Terminator", was the one who gave Yi Feiyang a headache! Yes, it was this old guy who wrote and directed the first and second parts of "Terminator".
And when the famous film magazine "Film Weekly" recently selected the most collectible film of the 20th century, this film ranked first with the highest number of votes. And this film is actually a science fiction film that was filmed 11 years ago.
movie, which was a big news in 2000 when computer special effects technology was already quite perfect. But the movie’s championship status is by no means undeserved. This is due to the strong Cameron-style action special effects style and excellent visual effects it displays.
Movie balance and perfect special effects are inseparable.
Although he was unwilling to be an enemy of Cameron, Yi Feiyang still met Cameron indirectly. Although the director of "Terminator 3" was Jonathan Mostow. But I heard that Jonathan was also recommended to Warner by Cameron.
Therefore, there is still the shadow of Cameron behind him, or to be precise, this "Terminator 3" inherits Cameron's "bloodline", and Jonathan has become Cameron's "spokesperson".
In any case, Yi Feiyang is not the kind of person who gives in without a fight, not to mention he is always confident in his movies.
Even deep down in his heart, Yi Feiyang longed to fight against Cameron's shadow to see which one was more powerful, his terminator or his own new play.
Open the newspaper. At this time, everything is about "I Am Legend" versus "Terminator 3".
"I am very eager to see Schwarzenegger's sunglasses and leather jacket in "Terminator 3", and I also want to know whether his skills have aged."
This is the final self-narration of the reporter from "Movie Times" in the article.
"What do the zombies in "I Am Legend" look like? This is what I am looking forward to most! I think China Yi will not disappoint!" This is what a fan interviewed by a reporter from "Hollywood Entertainment Times" said.
When Yi Feiyang saw this, he couldn't help but take a second look. He also looked forward to how the audience would feel after seeing these walking, strong, flexible, and thoughtful zombies.
Will such zombies be accepted by the public? Yi Feiyang is looking forward to it.
That night, after Yi Feiyang went back, he first had sex with Anne Hathaway, until Hathaway couldn't satisfy him, so she had to surrender, and then stuffed him into Jessica Alba's room. Jessica and Yi
Feiyang met his opponent and met a talented person, and they had an earth-shattering battle on the bed. Yi Feiyang seemed to be venting his inner mania, which only tortured Jessica to death. Finally, at dawn, the two of them fell asleep exhausted.
On the morning of July 13th, after a brief press conference, the entire Fantasy Entertainment and even the United States were ready for the simultaneous release of "I Am Legend" and "Terminator 3" at 8pm on the 15th!
Prior to this, the two dramas, which have been promoted countless times, have already attracted the attention of all movie fans. Especially those fans who are obsessed with watching "The Great War" are posting comments on major online forums to evaluate the future.
The box office and word-of-mouth trends of these two dramas.
…
July 15, 2003.
Different from usual, this time Yi Feiyang did not hold a grand premiere ceremony, nor did he walk on any red carpets, nor did he watch the movie with fans. Instead, he took Hathaway, Jessica and others to a large movie theater near Los Angeles.
Watch the premiere quietly in the cinema.
At around eight o'clock that night, almost all theaters in the United States were full. The popularity of "I Am Legend" and "Terminator 3" was even more exaggerated than imagined.
As soon as ticket sales started, the queues for party tickets in many theaters were even more than ten meters long.
Some people even bought ten or eight movie tickets in one go, then raised the price and transferred them to those who didn't buy the tickets.
According to statistics, movie tickets for the 8:00 premiere of "I Am Legend" and "Terminator 3" started selling at the same time. "I Am Legend" was all sold out at 7:15, while "Terminator 3" was sold out slightly later.
It was almost sold out around eight o'clock.
As for the stars of "I Am Legend", Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, as well as Morgan Freeman, Jason Statham and others were sitting in a hall in New York that had already been booked by Dures.
.
"Julie, why didn't you stay in Los Angeles with Yi Feiyang?" Depp was a little curious. Because since filming, Julie has been hanging around Yi Feiyang from time to time. In the eyes of bad boy Depp, there is definitely something between the two.
"Secret" relationship.
"Yi and his girlfriend are watching the premiere. What should I do? Make light bulbs?" Angelina said calmly. However, the reluctance and jealousy in her words were obvious.
"Haha, light bulb? That's a good metaphor. Is this what Yi taught you?" Depp said with a bit of a smile. "Now, when you look at Jason, does he look like a light bulb to you and me?"
Jason Statham, who was sitting on Julie's left, heard, "The movie is about to start, man, stop picking up girls!"
"I know the light bulb, oh no, our zombie leader!" Johnny Depp laughed and said a little funny.
At the same time, the words "Fantasy Entertainment" appeared on the big screen, followed by the prologue. There were only the words "Director Yi Feiyang" on the dark screen, and then the screen gradually brightened. Starring: Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp
, Jason Statham, Morgan Freeman...the names of all the main actors appeared one after another.
Next a car appeared on the screen, from far to near, from small to large, and then the scene of the dilapidated New York City.
The picture zooms in, and the protagonist Julie appears on the screen.
At this moment, the story of "I Am Legend" officially begins. There are no gaps in the halls of thousands of theaters across the United States. Everyone is looking at the screen carefully and with anticipation.
The video gradually unfolds. In the red car that is driving slowly, Angelina Jolie has a serious expression and keeps looking forward. She holds the steering wheel and controls the speed of the car. On the right seat, the shepherd dog Lacy is sitting on it, looking towards the car from time to time.
He looked out the window and looked at his master from time to time.
Long shot: The road was overgrown with weeds and deserted. After starting the car, I suddenly saw a group of antelopes passing by. They were frightened by the sound of cars and fled in a hurry.
These antelopes were temporarily borrowed from the zoo, and the camera cleverly captured the scene of the antelopes being frightened and running away.
The car was going faster and faster and almost hit an antelope.
The red car was driving fast, and the surrounding antelopes were still running. They were surrounded by dilapidated high-rise buildings, uneven main roads, and overgrown sidewalks, fleeing antelopes, Mercedes-Benz cars, and Julie's soft and cold face.
The combination of living things and dead things, the transformation of life and death, creates a strong visual contrast, allowing people to have an intuitive feeling of the scene where the virus comes and the whole city is wiped out.
As the camera advanced, Julie looked at the antelope outside and raised the gun in her hand, but in the end she did not shoot. Instead, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath!
On the big screen, the red car continued to run, and the sound of the squeaking tires rubbing against the ground seemed a bit harsh. Suddenly, it made a sharp turn and drifted like lightning, and the car stopped.
After getting out of the car, Angelina Jolie looked at the dilapidated scene outside the window, looking at hundreds of empty cars parked in disorder on the street that was originally the main road. Desolation and loneliness came to her heart, and she couldn't help but think
I also have a friend. The next second, he gently strokes the sheepdog Lassie with his hand.
Close-up shot, being caressed by her master, Lacy meekly cried out twice and licked the back of her hand.
Then Julie held a gun in her hand, then found a hidden place to squat, looked not far away, and started hunting.
The antelope looked around and saw no one around. She felt more relieved. Then she lowered her head and saw the grass she loved to eat, and started eating leisurely for a while. At this time, Julie suddenly stood up on the big screen and raised her hand.
The gun was ready to give the antelope a fatal blow, but at this moment, a lion jumped out and knocked the antelope down.
Julie raised her gun and looked at the lion in front of her eating the antelope, which was originally her prey. Then she aimed at the lion, and at this moment, several young lion cubs ran out and looked at the mother.
The lion gave the food to the children to enjoy. Julie seemed to think of something and was a little distracted. Finally, she put down the gun.
She was also a mother before.
As the story continues, Julie then looked at her watch, then at the sun, and shouted to Lacy, the sheepdog: "Let's go, baby!"
Then, a man and a dog disappeared into the dilapidated streets.
Then it's time to go home. A short period of time has passed in the movie, but the plot seems very bland and dull, with only the trivial matters of the heroine Julie.
"Is this really a Chinese easy-to-make movie? Why is it so boring?" Finally, someone complained in the dark.
"Yeah! It's been about ten minutes. Why are there only Julie and her dog? Only the lion was a little scary when it jumped out. The rest are boring..."
"Who says it isn't? I didn't feel very good at the beginning. Forget it, let's continue watching! Maybe it will be exciting later on!"
"Yeah! Why are you so anxious? It's only been a few minutes? Wait, when has China Yi ever let us down?"
…
Discussions and murmurs like this gradually appeared, but the film continued tepidly.
The heroine Julie takes her dog in the villa, cooks, eats, etc., then closes all the windows, and then goes to sleep... very dull!
It was another boring scene. This time there was finally a lot of complaints!
"Damn it! What a crappy movie, I should have gone to see "Terminator 3" if I had known!"
"It's very dull, very boring, and it makes people wonder if this is the work of Chinese Yi!"
The noisy cinema was filled with many complaints. Perhaps the previous expectations were too great. At this moment, the boring part in front of "I Am Legend" disappointed many people. Except for some die-hard Chinese Yi fans.
After waiting patiently and believing that the future would be exciting, many of the remaining people were disappointed and complained, and many even started eating popcorn and playing with their mobile phones. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
