This film company was established in the late 1970s at about the same time as the Weinstein Brothers’ Miramax.
However, compared with Miramax, which has always been a small business, the establishment of Orion Pictures can be described as a huge momentum, attracting a large number of famous filmmakers such as Francis Coppola and Sylvester Stallone to cooperate, even “Terminator” “The first part is released by Orion.
After Orion was established, eighteen films have been produced in just five years, and ten of them have made profits. This ratio is definitely very high among film companies.
Therefore, Orion Pictures was once rated by the media as another Hollywood player that is the most threatening to several major film companies. It also attracted people such as Viacom’s Summer Redstone and Metropolitan Media’s John Kruger. In the end, the rich and powerful John Kruger won the control of Orion Pictures with huge sums of money.
However, since the late 1980s, the situation of Orion Pictures has deteriorated sharply. For several consecutive years, due to the loss of film production, Orion Pictures has become more and more indebted and faces bankruptcy at any time.
“Okay, stop being sarcastic. I heard that John Kruger has planned to sell Orion to the oil tycoon Marvin Davis, who is a big moneymaker and may make a comeback.”
“You When did you hear the news?” Karta asked.
Eric thought for a while and said, “A week ago, a piece of news in The Hollywood Reporter.”
Karta said: “Then you certainly don’t know, this business has already gone yellow. Marvin Davis lost a lot of money when he bought 20th Century Fox and had to resell it to Mr. Murdoch. How could it be planted again? One time. John Kruger has already planned to stop Orion production, and I heard that the production department of the company is preparing to win the rights of the “Adams Family” TV series in Orion’s hands.”
Eric just shrugged: “Who cares, let’s talk about it. Ours.”
“About the second plan…” Karta nodded, and was about to continue, when she suddenly looked at Eric seriously.
Said: “Eric, I suddenly want to understand something. Since the copyright of “Dancing With Wolves” is in your hands, Liz is playing tricks to win the movie. You should have ordered it, right?”
“Yes. ,
” Eric didn’t deny.
Karta hesitated, remembering Eric’s consistent vision, and then asked again: “Then what do you think of the box office prospects of this movie, if you are optimistic. We will put it on Thanksgiving next year, if you are purely If you want this movie to make way for The Silence of the Lambs, it will be released on Christmas Day?”
“This is definitely a movie that has the potential to hit the Oscar for best picture, I only see this, as for the box office, I It really doesn’t have any clues, but it shouldn’t be too bad,” Eric said truthfully.
“In that case,” Karta said, seeing that Eric had no confidence in the film’s box office prospects, “then follow the release strategy of “Rain Man”. Put it in December, but because it is Christmas, A film company with this theme can only come up with 1,000 screens at most, but we will definitely do a lot better than Orion in the announcement.”
It took a few hours to discuss the specific cooperation details, and Eric was sent to the company. When they were in the office building, Karta asked: “Eric, although there are some problems with this position, I am still curious. Since you have won the copyright of this film, why don’t you distribute it yourself?”
Eric said helplessly: “Do you think Liz will be willing to go crazy for no reason. Did you even recruit a nickname of Princess Fox to come back? This is the condition we negotiated at the beginning. The copyright belongs to me, and the distribution belongs to Fox. That little girl is like a little hamster. She wants to pull everything into her nest.”
Karta laughed: “Of course, she is the daughter of the Murdoch family after all.”
Jennifer Connor Li left after finishing the so-called dubbing of “Fighting Condor” in the morning. Because it was not time for work, Eric did not return directly to Joanna’s villa, but went to Burbank and handled it in the office. some official business.
Just left at get off work hours.
The next day, no surprise, the New York Post published a report about his affair with Jennifer Connelly. The article was very knowledgeable and did not use the photo of Connery when he threw himself into Eric’s arms, but chose to A photo of a girl hugging him intimately when he walked into the Fox office building. In this case, if two people don’t want to admit it, they can insist that they are good friends. Good friends can’t shake each other’s arms, believe it or not. what ever.
Except for the somewhat ambiguous title of “Another Jennifer by Williams”, the content of the article is quite restrained, explaining the past of Eric and Jennifer Aniston again, and describing Jennifer Aniston in detail. The birth resume of Connery’s child star, as for the relationship between the two, the report uses a completely speculative tone.
After a few brief introductions, the news began to turn to Jennifer Connelly’s “Reverse Fighting Eagle”. In fact, after a little thinking, most people will find that this is a promotional advert, but it is a propaganda advert mixed with scandals. It is a subject that readers like to see. Even if many people can see at a glance that the credibility of the news is not high, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is always more eye-catching than those hyped film reviews.
Many movies use this method when promoting, but most of those use gossip between the hero and heroine, but this time, “Condor” uses the heroine and Hollywood’s hot young director Ai Ai. The scandal between Rick Williams was hyped.
As for Charlie Sheen, the male protagonist of “Fighting Condor”, although he was barely considered a first-line male star because of his participation in “Field Platoon” a few years ago, his influence is still far from that of Eric.
Although Charlie Sheen is also a well-known playboy in Hollywood, if he uses his scandal with the heroine, he will definitely attract considerable attention, but considering the relationship between Connery and Eric, even if someone proposes, The publisher will not take the risk of angering Eric to do so. After all, Eric is not just a director now, not to mention that Jennifer Connelly will definitely not cooperate.
Eric didn’t care too much about this report, but after several women saw it, they called and tried it out. Since breaking up with Aniston, Eric has not confirmed an official girlfriend. Of course, it is impossible for several women. There is no idea, but Eric has all perfunctory for this kind of temptation, he has no such idea at all.
