Chapter 461 This Year's Opponents
In addition to the poster, "Wushuang" also announced its release date, which will be released simultaneously in more than 2004 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and the United States on Friday, April , .

It seems that everyone is waiting for "Wushuang" to announce its release date. After "Wushuang" was set, the release dates of other films were also set.

Among them, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" produced by Cantaloupe Studios will land in the summer season for the first time and will be released on June 4th.

This is the third film in the series, and it also marks the series' move from the first two family-friendly children's films to adults.

The main actors are still a trio. Haley has maintained his figure very successfully. He has not gained weight nor become ugly. Harry Potter is getting more and more handsome, which makes fans love him very much.

Needless to say, Emma Watson has been beautiful since she was a child, and Hermione is more popular than the other two.

Only Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, was a little doubtful about his life. Among the three people, there was a playful handsome guy and a pure beauty, but he was the only one who grew up ugly.

Rupert Grint is innocent and he doesn't want to do that.

It is worth mentioning that as the series continues, the pay of the three young actors has increased to varying degrees.

This was inevitable and Gilbert had expected it. Even if the three young actors didn't want a pay raise, their families and agents would ask for one.

It is normal for Hollywood actors to demand high pay for sequels, but the problem is that it's not just the pay, the actors even want a share of the box office and peripheral profits.

This was something that Gilbert Jr., Warner, and Disney could not accept.

J.K. Rowling can enjoy box office and peripheral revenue because she is the core character of this series. In order to win her over, this is the price that must be paid.

But three young actors were going to get involved, and that was not what young Gilbert wanted to see.

Even though he admires Haley and likes Emma Watson very much, Gilbert Jr. will not let personal emotions affect his decision-making.

However, faced with this situation, Hollywood giants have plenty of options, and the simplest one is to do the accounting.

The Harry Potter series is operated independently by a studio, and all expenses are made in the name of this studio.

So, "Harry Potter" is equivalent to a movie made with money borrowed from Warner and Disney.

After the film is finished, it needs to be promoted and distributed, and the funds for promotion and distribution will also be counted in the total investment. But in fact, the money from promotion and distribution is just transferred from one hand to the other, and goes into the pockets of Warner and Disney.

If this is done, there will be a loss on the books, and since there is a loss, there will naturally be no share of the box office revenue.

Although everyone knows that there is a problem, even the most savvy accountant cannot find anything wrong if they check the accounts.

Of course, unless the actors are extremely greedy, most film companies will not use this trick.

In addition, there is one last trick, which is to change the actors.

However, for the work "Harry Potter", changing actors is only a last resort and is generally not done easily.

Another person worth mentioning is Emma Watson. This girl is very scheming and has previously expressed her desire to come to Cantaloupe Manor to study.

As she grows older, Emma Watson becomes more mature and understands the nature of Hollywood better.

It would be very dangerous for a beautiful girl like her in Hollywood without the protection of a big shot, so she wanted to get close to little Gilbert eagerly.

However, Gilbert Jr. and Emma Watson do not have much contact. One reason is that he is busy with work and the other is that there are many women around him, so his attention is not on Emma Watson.

The little girl would not give up, and often publicized her close relationship with little Gilbert in public, calling him "brother" all the time in a sweet voice.

This trick was very effective. At least a lot of the malicious looks directed at her were dissipated.

Everyone knows that little Gilbert is a petty and vindictive person. It is not worth going to war with little Gilbert for a little girl.

Emma Watson's urgent task at the moment is to really establish an intimate relationship with little Gilbert.

Otherwise, after a while people will find out that you, Emma Watson, were just talking nonsense and have nothing to do with little Gilbert, and then the attention will return.

There is no way, beautiful girls in Hollywood are so troubled. So being smart is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Didn’t you see that Natalie Portman, this thoughtful girl, is doing very well in Hollywood? She is quite popular with the Hollywood Squid Club and is even more favored than little Gilbert.

After all, little Gilbert was rebellious, but Natalie Portman was obedient.

Emma Watson naturally understands her own situation. She can't be like Scarlett. After all, Scarlett's situation is very special. Which girl would be raised from the age of five to adulthood and then everything would go smoothly?

Many people in Hollywood wondered if little Gilbert had a habit of raising children, but the key was that he could hold back and wait until Scarlett became an adult before taking action, and he didn't even allow outsiders to say anything.

This year is an opportunity for Emma Watson. Raising a child from the age of fourteen to eighteen can be considered as training, and it can also add a different color to little Gilbert.

In order to please little Gilbert, Emma Watson made some interesting modifications to the Hogwarts school uniforms and they are ready to be used.

It can be said that girls of this age begin to gradually become sensible, and Emma Watson, who works in Hollywood, is even more precocious.

In order to maintain her status and climb to a higher position, Emma Watson was willing to let little Gilbert teach her a lesson with a stick.

Little Gilbert didn't know that this girl had so many tricks, mainly because he really didn't pay much attention to her. In addition to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", the most important movie this year is "Spider-Man 2".

When Spider-Man 1 was released, although its box office revenue exceeded million yuan in the first week, its brilliance was completely overshadowed by The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

But this year is different, there is no "Return of the King".

There's still a Harry Potter movie to come, but Sony Columbia Pictures feels the time has come for Spider-Man 2 to dominate the summer theaters.

Of course, because Gilbert Jr. is a very evil person, "Spider-Man 2" was not released on the same schedule as "Man of Steel", but on June th.

Just because Sony Columbia Pictures doesn't want to go head-to-head doesn't mean that someone else doesn't want to.

Despite Michael Ovitz's dissuasion, David Ellison decided to put "Van Helsing" on the same schedule as "The Invincibles".

Michael Ovitz must have regretted it so much. "The Invincible" has two Toms and a queen, which means there are four best actor and best actress awards in total.

Not to mention, the director of this movie is Gilbert Jr.

Over the years, Gilbert has proven that even original films can be made interesting and exciting, and should not be underestimated.

David Ellison acted impulsively and confronted the other party head-on. The result is obvious.

But David Ellison obviously didn't think so. He finally graduated from college and came to Hollywood.

Strictly speaking, "Van Helsing" was his first film as a producer and producer. David Ellison was arrogant and did not think that his film was worse than Gilbert Jr.'s.

Such people, as Martin Bob privately said, will not grow without going through hardships.

"Let him get hurt and bleed. Then he will know that what we said is right."

These were Martin Bob's original words. Michael Ovitz had no choice but to agree.

In addition to these movies, the summer season also includes "Shrek 2: The Monsters" released by DreamWorks.

DreamWorks is still fighting against the giants, but it is getting harder and harder. The animation department of DreamWorks has been coveted by major companies for a long time.

Once DreamWorks is broken up, the DreamWorks Animation division will be a very valuable asset.

Other films to be released include "The Last Days", "The Jason Bourne Supremacy" starring Matt Damon, and "I, Robot" starring Will Smith.

In addition, "The Spellbound 2", co-directed by Alfonso Cuarón and Tsui Hark and starring Jackie Chan, will also be released in the summer.

"National Treasure" starring Cameron Diaz was released a little later. With so many movies mentioned above, the summer season has become a little crowded, so "National Treasure" was moved to the Thanksgiving season.

Another movie worth mentioning is "The Passion of the Christ", which has been screened and has been widely criticized by religious figures.

However, the word of mouth for the preview seems to be quite good, and the data is very good.

The film was released very early, on February 25. Gilbert Jr. was optimistic about the film's performance in the market, although it was controversial.

But only controversy can attract attention and bring in more box office revenue.

The competition in the summer season is extremely fierce, which forces Gilbert Jr. to pay more attention to the promotion of "Wushuang".

In addition to the Super Bowl trailer, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks will also appear on various shows to promote the film, and Charlize Theron will not be absent.

This star-studded crime film has received attention that no previous Hollywood crime film has ever received.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that the attention can be converted into box office. After all, the box office appeal of the three superstars and the director is not exaggerated. With this lineup, it is not a problem to get a box office of 400 to 500 million.

The downside is that once the film's reputation collapses, the situation will be even worse and will collapse completely.

But Gilbert Jr. is very confident in the quality of the film, even though "Wushuang" looks very brain-burning and is incompatible with the simple films in the current mainstream film market.

Moreover, Gilbert Jr. thinks that the story of "Wushuang" seems to be very brain-burning, but it is actually not complicated and is very attractive.

The audience also needs to get used to such movies, at least to think and use their brains.

At worst, everyone can learn how to make US dollars from movies, and all they need to do is get the color-changing ink. Even if the Federal Reserve knew about it, it probably wouldn't be too happy.

All in all, this year's summer season looks to be full of blood and the competitive pressure is not small. Even Gilbert Jr. cannot relax.

In addition to his busy film work, Peter Thiel, introduced by his cousin Ellie, also came to Los Angeles to meet Gilbert Jr.

The two sides held talks for about two hours on how to change the United States and the world.

Outsiders do not know the content of the talks.
