The start of filming of "Titanic" has become a major event in Hollywood. Since the end of the mid-year film schedule, this is the first big-scale film that Hollywood invested in and shot in the second half of the year.

The 24 million investment is stunning. Major film companies are so teased by the DreamWorks movie that they all want to follow and launch their own film works.

"Titanic" is like a fuse, once again triggering the filming frenzy of major Hollywood film companies. In Hollywood, DreamWorks has become the focus of attention of almost all film companies, so that their filming business has been closely watching DreamWorks. Nowadays, many film companies will wait for DreamWorks to move. Only after DreamWorks Film Company launches its own movies will they consider what kind of film to shoot or how big the action will be. Because these film companies have now learned to wait and see, DreamWorks has obviously become a weather vane.

In the first half of the year, DreamWorks launched a series of blockbusters, which triggered a wave of blockbusters that made Hollywood a prosperous time, but also made film companies such as MGM and Paramount make a lot of money. So when the bosses of Hollywood Film Company gather, they would joke: "Follow DreamWorks, have meat to eat, and don't follow DreamWorks, have nothing to eat."

Although this sentence sounds rough, it makes sense.

After the wave of blockbusters in the first half of the year passed, a saying began to appear in Hollywood, that is, the so-called blockbusters are just a special manifestation. They will never appear again after the first half of 1932, because major Hollywood film companies launch blockbusters. It is really abnormal. This kind of blockbusters is obviously artificial.

This statement has been recognized by many people, and Carey Rockefeller, the owner of Leidianhua Film Company, is the initiator of this statement.

One of the reasons why this statement is popular among Hollywood filmmakers is that in their eyes, so many Hollywood film companies launch blockbusters at the same time are indeed artificial, and they should have been deliberately created. Although these blockbusters have been successful, this further illustrates the uniqueness of this matter.

Many film company bosses are worried that if this model is still going on like that, there may be problems.

Blockbusters are different from other movies, and the investment is very huge. If a blockbuster fails, it will inevitably bring a blow to the film company. Therefore, major film companies are very heavy in this regard.

They set their sights on DreamWorks, which is now the leader of Hollywood film companies.

If DreamWorks invested in a medium-cost local movie, then other film companies would obviously consider it carefully in shooting blockbusters. But now, DreamWorks not only did not reduce its investment, but instead filmed a blockbuster movie with an investment of 24 million yuan. This made them turbulent!

You should know that DreamWorks invested in the first half of the year and the total investment was only US$35 million. This kind of movie clearly shows DreamWorks' determination to enter blockbusters.

DreamWorks has such determination, which obviously gave the bosses of other film companies a shot of augmentation.

So after the filming of "Titanic" started, major Hollywood film companies announced their launch of their own movies, and at a glance, they knew that these movies were the main movies after careful consideration.

The first film company to respond to DreamWorks is not MGM or Paramount, but Howard Hughes Land New Line Film Company.

In the first half of 1932, almost all major film companies in Hollywood launched blockbusters, but the Xinyi Film Company remained silent on this matter. It is said that the reason Howard Hughes did not invest in blockbusters at that time was because he felt that the major film companies in Hollywood were irrational in their filming.

But the result later formed a huge contrast with his concerns. No one in the film companies that invested in blockbusters were overwhelmed, but instead gained a lot because of those blockbusters. This made Howard Hughes re-recognize blockbusters that he didn't like very much.

I was left behind in the first half of the year, so I could only work hard in the second half of the year.

So after DreamWorks announced the start of filming "Titanic", Xinyi Film Company immediately announced the launch of its main film for the second half of the year. This film, directed by Victor Fleming, the director of Xinyi Film Company, has an investment of US$8 million.

And when I saw the name of this movie, my eyes went straight!

"The Wizard of Oz"! This movie of Victor Fleming made me dizzy!

You know, Victor Fleming has two most representative films in his life, one is the famous "Gone with the Wind" and the other is this "Wife of Oz".

"The Wizard of Oz" is a series of fairy tales set in the "Oz Wonderland" created by American fairy tale writer Frank Baum. This call series was created between 190 and 1920, and it took Baum a lot of energy and time. Its status in the minds of Americans is just like the status of "Journey to the West" in the minds of Chinese people.

There are so many films in history that are set in this, and Hollywood has remakes countless times, but Victor Fleming is the first person to shoot this subject, and his "Wife of Oz" is the best of all the movies of the same name!

Historically, Victor Fleming won the Oscar for Best Picture with this movie. It can be said that this movie is a successful masterpiece in Hollywood adapted films.

Victor Fleming has a very good adaptation. He can accurately understand the essence of his mind, and then use his own experience to finally complete a movie that surpasses the original. "The Wizard of Oz" has been very popular among the American people since Om's creation. By 1932, the people's attitude towards this movie was exactly like a child treating his favorite toys. In the United States, men, women, young and old are deeply obsessed with this series of stories, although it is a call. However, people discovered sincerity in the middle and the beauty of human nature.

Victor Fleming chose such a classic to adapt it, which obviously took a long time to think about it. Howard Hughes was able to invest in the filming of US$8 million, which definitely shows his confidence in this movie.

Among all Hollywood film companies, New Line Film Company is a maverick category. This may be related to Howard Hughes's own personality, but in Hollywood, everyone agrees with this company. Not many people doubt Howard Hughes' ability, and no one doubts Victor Fleming's ability.

Therefore, the 8 million US dollars "The Wizard of Oz" also became a hot topic of discussion among the public. A fairy tale that the American people deeply like will be brought to the screen, how could people be unhappy?

For this reason, Xinyi Film Company spent a lot of money to form a special stunt group. Howard Hughes said that he wanted to shoot the movie like a dream and to show the people a real fairy tale world.

"The Wizard of Oz" by Xinyi Film Company dropped the second bombshell in Hollywood after "Titanic", which made major Hollywood film companies no longer hold back.

Warner Bros. Film Company immediately announced that they would shoot a new film. The film invested 7 million yuan and was directed by Liu Bieqian. The name of the film attracted the attention of many people. Because it was really a fun name - "You Escape, I Escape".

Since Liu Bieqian won a huge victory with his local movies in the first half of the year, he has been very confident. He has received unanimous recognition from the senior executives of the company at Warner Film Company and has also received strong support. This time, Sam Warner supported him. This movie "You Escape, I Escape" seems to be Liu Bieqian's good at social problems, this theme. It is Liu Bieqian's favorite and the most representative of his characteristics. Since 1930, Liu Bieqian has tried to make certain breakthroughs in his film career. Especially in the theme of the movie, but he has never been very successful. This time he returned to the field he is good at and filmed a movie with an investment of 7 million yuan. I think he must have an ambition to shoot the best social problems movie.

He has this idea and this ability. Next, it depends on the quality of this movie.

However, I am still relieved to say that Liu Bieqian's movie. Although there is no guarantee that this movie will succeed. At least it will not make Warner Films lose money.

MGM Film Company also followed closely, and Marskolov's hot temper has never changed much. The blockbuster model was originally their original creation. In addition, Zinerman's blockbuster in the first half of the year allowed Marskolov to completely regain confidence, so he naturally would not be absent this time.

But this time, the director who was pushed to the front stage was not Zinerman, but Sjostram, another general under MGM Films.

Sjostram is a low-profit director in Hollywood. Compared with other directors, he does not have many works, but every movie he has achieved great success and almost perfect shots, which also makes him among the excellent directors in Hollywood.

Sjostram's films are different from those of Hollywood's general films. The Nordic style that permeates his movies is the most attractive to American audiences.

This time, MGM invested 9.2 million yuan to shoot his new work, a movie called "Ghost Car".

If you look at this movie simply from the name, you will think it should be a horror movie, but according to Sjostram himself, this movie has nothing to do with horror movies and does not belong to a movie noir. He is going to tell an ordinary story.

Although Sjostram is very modest about his movie, anyone familiar with him knows that Sjostram's movies are definitely worth watching. This guy's head is almost filled with fantasy ideas, which are often lacking in Hollywood. In fact, it is precisely because of these fantasy ideas that Sjostram will become a dark horse among Hollywood directors.^^^^

The movies he has filmed have continued a legend since his first movie "Wind". At the beginning, almost no one is optimistic about it, but once the movie comes out, it will definitely start in one shot.

Regarding this phenomenon, the people later simply named it "Sjostram phenomenon". When many old filmmakers teach the new Hollywood a lesson, they always say this: "Either diligent or genius. In Hollywood, there are still few people like Sjostram, so you should be diligent."

This shows the status of Sjostram in the minds of Hollywood filmmakers.

MGM launched Sjostram and Paramount was also not vague. If Marskolov used a secret weapon this time, then Adolf Chuck obviously used his ace army.

John Ford, the pillar of Paramount Films, was sent to the battlefield this time.

John Ford, who has not made a film for a long time, brought his new work "Hurricane". This movie, which has invested 7 million yuan, can be seen from the name of his name.

John Ford is the top director of Hollywood westerns. In the field of westerns, no one is his opponent, and his name has almost become synonymous with westerns. Whenever John Ford is mentioned, people will think of the sky full of yellow sand, cowboys, and gunfights.

John Ford has become the king of this field, and this time, his new film is also a "Western". Unlike in the past, John Ford claimed that this western film will be very different from all his previous films. In this film, he made many attempts, and this attempt is his new exploration of the field of western film.

John Ford has a high status in the minds of American audiences. People trust him, and as long as it is his movie, the people will be happy to buy a ticket to watch it. Especially for men, in the United States, if a man tells others at a party that he has not watched John Ford's movie, he will definitely be ridiculed by everyone.

John Ford, along with his westerns, has become a label for men.

"Hurricane", this movie John Ford once revealed some plots for me. He talked to me about this movie, which happened one month ago. At that time, he said that he wanted to have a script on hand. He also liked the script very much. However, there are many new explorations in this script, and he didn't know if he could succeed.

I told him at the time. If you like the script you are in hand, then shoot it before coming back. Don’t worry about the others.

It seems that John Ford listened to me. Although he knew that the script might fail because of a new exploration, he still submitted the script and started filming.

This is John Ford, this is the real Hollywood filmmaker.

After Paramount Film Company, another company announced in a high-profile manner that they were going to start filming a movie. This film company was a bit unexpected.

Fox Films announced that they will invest in a $6.5 million movie, the name of the movie is called "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife".

A movie with a very funny name has caused Fox Film Company to invest 6.5 million to shoot. Many people wonder what is extraordinary about this movie that can make Mr. Fox, the owner of Fox Film Company, bleed heavily.

An investment of 6.5 million is obviously not a lot for other film companies. You should know that in Hollywood, blockbusters are often 10 million, but for Fox Films, it is unusual.

Fox is not very interested in blockbusters, and he is very resistant to this method. In contrast, he prefers to invest in small and medium-sized local movies, and small profits and quick turnover are his usual business methods. Fox Film Company also made a fortune through this method.

However, in recent years, Fox Film Company has begun to decline in both the influence of films and the development of the company. In Hollywood, Fox Film Company always contributed several movies that made the audience applauded each year, and the company's revenue was also very good. However, recently, Fox Film Company is obviously not as good as before. In the past, they would occasionally win awards at the Harvey Awards ceremony, but now, basically they are unlikely to even get nominations. In addition, the company's benefits have also begun to shrink. In Hollywood, Fox Film Company's reputation has almost fallen to the last level.

The company's efficiency is reduced and lifeless, and the key is that there are not many talents. So many people in Hollywood predict that if a film company in Hollywood goes bankrupt, it will definitely be Fox Films.

Fox himself knew these situations, so he had to cheer up.

In fact, many people are artificial. The big reason for the decline of Fox Film Company is that he joined the Leidianhua Film Company, which has been encouraged by most Hollywood film companies.

Before this, Fox Film and Columbia Film Company was of the same level, and its strength was even stronger than Columbia Film Company. But now, the situation is completely opposite. Fox Film Company has been pulled down by Columbia a lot.

Although they all joined the Thunderbolt Film Company, there are many talents in Columbia Film Company. They have money trees like George Stevens and Clark Gable. In addition, their close cooperation with Thunderbolt Film Company has developed very quickly.

But Fox Films obviously cannot do it, talent is what they need the most!

This time, the film they released was obviously produced.

And the name of the director of this movie made me stunned.

How did this person go to Fox Film Company?
