MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1166 Injustice
Back in Los Angeles, Dunn once again threw himself into the post-production work on The Avengers. At present, the material has been integrated, the initial editing is over, and the initial dubbing work must be completed before November.
Now the Marvel Studios is in full swing, and Marvel's superhero blockbuster has become a gift for movie fans every year.
The "Avengers", which will be released next year, will be the most important gift.
Warner is obviously not giving up, it has already released ruthless words, it will build its own DC universe, and will launch the blockbuster "Justice League"!
It is publicly announced that Wonder Woman will be selected from the sea, and the three Musketeers of the "Justice League" will be combined with Superman and Batman.
In the comics circle, DC is still the unshakable leader with many fans. Such a huge comic book fan will be a potential customer for DC fans.
The media and the outside world have very high expectations for Warner!
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the name, the "Justice League" is much more domineering than the "Avengers".
Hollywood's expectations for Warner are even greater.
A single show of Marvel Studios is really enviable. Several other major film companies are looking forward to the rise of DC Pictures, not to mention the suppression of Marvel, at least to form a confrontation.
Only when two tigers fight can casualties occur.
Including Paramount, DreamWorks, Columbia Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures, they have all signed a distribution agreement with DC Pictures to compete with each other, saying that they will try to stagger the schedule of DC movies as much as possible.
This is also impossible.
Dunn's behavior is much more low-key now, unlike in previous years. It is also determined by his status. In the past few years, he did not stand on the top of the mountain, and could only rush left and right to climb desperately. Now that they have climbed to the top of the mountain, naturally there is no need for such a crazy mess. The crazier it is, the more likely it is to fall. Many times, just a light foot on the top of the mountain can kick down the opponent who is struggling to climb the mountain and panting.
It is for this reason that Dunn has become the common goal of all climbers. For the common purpose, there is naturally a prerequisite for cooperation.
Now in Hollywood, there is no doubt that New Universal is firmly on the top spot!
Next, there are companies such as Warner, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Paramount, DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, Private Pictures, etc.
It looks peaceful and peaceful.
But the undercurrent has been surging.
Several major studios have joined forces to attack New Universal.
Not because New Universal bullied them, but because New Universal made too much money and seized too many movie resources, which greatly reduced their earning space.
Including Disney is also gradually leaving.
Probably, except for 20th Century Fox, all of them participated in this kind of encirclement and suppression. Murdoch is busy with online media and financial media and has no more energy to spare.
In the first two years, Tang En was also able to reach a consensus with major film companies through the relationship of Legendary Films, using the funds of "plating investment" as the entry point.
Now the environment has changed again. There are a large number of companies focusing on investment in Hollywood. Without Legendary Pictures, there are other companies that can cooperate.
Dunn can no longer play the card of Legendary Pictures to make threats.
It can be said that the current situation is quite unfavorable for the development of the film environment of New Universal.
On this day, George Lucas came to visit the post-production of "The Avengers", to see high-tech and learn the most advanced industry concepts.
It turned out that this was the dubbing stage, and I didn't understand much except to see a funny recording of a group of "superheroes" laughing and joking.
So he simply chatted with Dunn on the side.
Dunn is the director of the film. The dubbing work is coordinated by the assistant dubbing director and the dubbing engineer in charge. He can get an overview of the overall situation.
In Hollywood, I am afraid that no one can refuse the invitation of George Lucas.
"Warners is going to have a Justice League, hey! Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That scene is spectacular. You have to do it well on your side, or you might be overtaken." George Lucas Laugh ha ha said.
"Justice League?" Dunn shook his head and sneered, "This is the result of Warner's infighting. The contradiction between Barry Mayer and Alan Horn has sharpened. Do you really think that Barry Mayer has the ability to lead DC Pictures. Subvert Marvel?"
George Lucas had an inscrutable expression on his face and stopped talking.
How do you say such a thing?
It may or may not be.
He is just a filmmaker, not a senior executive in Hollywood, and he is only hearsay about Warner's internal channels.
Tang En said lightly: "In my opinion, Warner has only one way to survive, not the Justice League, but the Injustice League. The line of justice has already been played by Marvel, and it is impossible for DC to make waves in this field. Not even Superman and Batman!"
"Injustice?"
"You do not know?"
George Lucas shrugged, "I don't know, I only read Japanese comics. DC's comics...including Marvel comics, are too low-minded."
Dunn said: "Injustice, that is, Superman has been blackened. In order to ensure world peace, he rules with an iron fist around the world. Whoever dares to break the peace will be killed directly. He is a completely brutal dictator. Batman and other superheroes , then united against Superman, this is Injustice."
George Lucas frowned and glanced at Dunn, "Are you digging a hole for DC? You are not destroying the perfect Superman image that Warner has worked so hard to build for decades. ? And the subject is too heavy to entertain."
"Entertainment?" Dunn deeply disapproved. "The entertainment comics have been played all over by Marvel, and DC don't even want to get involved."
George Lucas smiled, "It's no wonder you can sit so firmly, it's emboldened."
Tang En looked at him with a smile but not a smile, "Old guy, do you have something to say?"
George Lucas has a good relationship with Dunn, and said softly, "Hollywood is now encircling and suppressing New Universal. Even if Marvel Studios is unstoppable, what about Universal Pictures?"
Dunn pondered for a while and said: "If it is fair market competition, I am not afraid that they will unite to encircle and suppress. Dunn Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Pixar can completely sweep everything and firmly grasp it. leading position in the market.”
George Lucas shook his head with a cold expression, "Fair? Hollywood has never been fair!"
yes.
Play fair competition, but you must play unfair means!
Coincidentally, at this moment, the little secretary Ella came over with a folder, glanced at George Lucas, then leaned over and whispered: "The latest news, Universal Pictures' "Break Up Men and Women" ", was rated R by the MPAA."
"what?"
Dunn's complexion changed slightly.
