For the word-of-mouth of Point Break, because the anarchist political views expressed in the film are very unflattering, film critic ’s evaluation is not very high, just expressing the exciting visual scenes of surfing and skydiving in the film approval. Therefore, this movie is also destined to have no success in the award season.
No matter how the external media commented, after Christmas, Firefly started the merger and reorganization work in an orderly manner according to the plan.
After detailed planning, Eric will gradually merge Pixar studio, digital field and Black Ant Film Studio into Firefly Pictures, because these assets are all unlisted companies under the absolute control of Eric, so the merger process is very smooth.
After the merger and reorganization, Firefly will follow the large Film Studio model. In addition to film and television production, it will also include specialized announcement, legal, market research, strategic planning and other departments. It also has a relatively independent Pixar studio. , Black Ant Film Studio, new line Film Studio, Flower Films, digital field and other subsidiary companies, in addition, Firefly also holds 10% of Fox TV Network shares.
After more than four months of planning with the Playa Vista community, just after the New Year, Firefly ’s studio base at Playa Vista was officially ground breaking.
Although it is a non-listed company, outsiders cannot obtain the detailed information of Firefly, but the series of actions of Firefly have not concealed too many people.
↑ Media attention for entertainment is still focused on the personal wealth of Eric, while the professional Hollywood magazine such as 《Variety》, the analysis of Firefly is much more professional. Facing the integration and expansion of Firefly. Most professional media are pessimistic.
after all. Eric just experienced a "failure" in "Ghost Detective" and "Point Break" at the end of the year. Of the two films released at the end of Firefly, the total Box Office is likely to be only 100 million USD. Compared to last year, the film produced by Firefly occupies the holiday Box Office The champion's 'magnificence', this year's performance of Firefly is really too bad.
Moreover, the evidence that the media that keeps looking down is not just the Box Office at the end of the year. While the "Point Break" score did not meet the expectations of the media, because they did not know that the Cameron couple had divorced. "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", which is being produced by Cameron as Kathryn Bigelow's "husband", has also caught the attention of media people.
The media quickly discovered that this shoots lasted for more than three months. The movie that was just killed years ago has produced more than 70 million so far. As a special effects movie, the post-production of the movie is still the same. It will cost a lot of money, so the cost of this movie will likely reach an unprecedented level, and may become the first movie in history to cost more than 100 million USD.
If it is just that, there may be some hope for cost recovery. After all, the quality of the film produced by Cameron is still very guaranteed, and the public survey. Fans also have very high expectations for the sequel to "The Terminator".
But many people think that the movie's schedule is a fatal flaw.
In November of last year, the 34-nation coalition forces gathered in the Middle East issued an ultimatum to the Saddam government. Judging from the current situation, this war is definitely inevitable, and the time is likely to be at the end of January. Moreover, so far, not many people think that this war will end in a short time.
Since the second half of last year, in the face of the impact of war on the film and television industry, the seven major movies Film Studio have begun to formulate production reduction plans. Except for "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", there are no other major production movies in the summer. Even Warner made "Batman" of 200 million and USD Box Office last year. In order to avoid the edge of the war, the sequel has been postponed to the summer file in 1992. It can be imagined that if "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is released, if the war continues, this The blockbuster Box Office will definitely be strongly impacted.
Once such a blockbuster fails, it will be a very big blow for the ambitious Firefly.
Because of this concern, even Cameron himself hinted at Eric in a meeting, it is best to postpone the "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" schedule, even to the end of the year.
Eric appeased, and did not agree with Cameron. For the progress of the Gulf War, the whole world is not clearer than Eric, so putting Terminator 2: Judgement Day in this summer file is the best choice, even if Because the war ended early, some big production films were released ahead of schedule in the haste of the Seven Majors, but this summer file cannot compete with the well-prepared and guaranteed "Terminator 2: Judgement Day".
Not only "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", Eric also plans to put "Toy Story" already completed by Pixar studio in the summer file. I believe that the Box Office score of this 3D animation will definitely surprise many people. For this reason, Eric original, invited Tom Hanks to dub the cowboy Woody, and once again released a trailer for "Toy Story" on this year's Super Bowl.
The first two weeks of the new year passed unconsciously. On January 15, the ultimatum date of the United **, the Iraqi army did not intend to withdraw from Kuwait, but instead once again made a large increase on the Saudi Arabian border Bing.
Eric put down his work and came to New York again. After two months of deployment, Chris has used the funds of 2billion USD to establish a large short position of crude oil Petroleum in accordance with the originally negotiated plan, and both of them are nervously waiting for the war to come.
Although Eric felt that his little butterfly might affect the progress of the war, he obviously overestimated his influence. At two in the morning on January 17, United ** launched an attack on the Iraqi army like previous life. The carpet bombing with high intensity was carried out for dozens of hours. In the face of the absolute air superiority of the United Air Force, the Iraqi army had no room to fight back at all.
At the end of January, United ** wiped out the Iraqi garrison in Kuwait. Iraq lost 100,000 troops, while United ** only had a few hundred casualties. The war shocked the world and international crude oil prices began. Straight down. Because of the prolonged expectation that this war will last, many oil trading companies bought large quantities of crude oil Petroleum contracts before the war. The war only took two weeks, and the crude oil Petroleum trading department of countless companies announced the liquidation closed. It is said that because of this large loss, many companies have not opened the Petroleum trading department for the next 20 years. Too much scale has caused great losses to these companies.
