In the crew of ”Escape the Island”, Michael Bay is yelling at the film crew. As long as the shooting doesn't go well, he will easily lose his temper, and Steven Spielberg will stand aside and watch from a distance.
In the past few years, DreamWorks has stagnated from its rapid development at the beginning, and it is still going downhill.
He and the other two partners have lost their old friendship, the music department is in name only, David Geffen thinks about how to leave the scene every day; the animation department is still booming, and the ”Shrek” series has reached a new high, but this year But it was completely separated and independent, and DreamWorks Animation was established. Jeffrey Katzenberg also didn't want to bother with the mess of the parent company.
It's really a mess, DreamWorks' film business is already a mess.
A large number of investors and shareholders have also chosen to withdraw their capital from DreamWorks Pictures.
The chaos inside the company, coupled with the presence of powerful external enemies, everyone wants to split his efforts and acquire them.
He didn't want to admit defeat so quickly, but Jeffery left with the animation department, and Spielberg could only rely on his own film production department.
He even broke the boat and found a project for foreign investors.
This ”Escape from the Clone Island” has a total investment budget of more than 120 million. With the current situation of DreamWorks, it can't be compensated, so Spielberg has to come over to the crew every once in a while.
The ”Jedi Men” series, ”Break into Death Island”, ”Peerless Catastrophe”, ”Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, the total box office in North America has exceeded 1 billion, and has been hailed by the media as the most acute commercial director. ”Boom Bay” served as the director; recently, with ”Lost in Tokyo”, actress Scarlett Johansson, who had a good reputation at the box office, acted as the heroine, plus Ivan. This cast is a powerful cast.
Especially the male lead, British actor Ivan McGregor, is yet another figure in Hollywood movies.
When he was young, ”Guessing the Train” became an international hit and won the British Academy Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop.
In 2001, with Oscar actress Nicole Kidman, starred in ”Moulin Rouge” and was nominated for Best Actor in the Golden Globe Awards.
In addition to professional awards, the box office market is also responsible.
Appeared in ”Star Wars Prequel One: Phantom Crisis” and played the role of Obi-Wan in the film, which was well received by the audience.
In terms of acting skills, there are acting skills, and in terms of image, it is also very suitable, and the audience has a good reputation and is booming.
Ask him to come, but spent 7 million dollars in remuneration plus stepped box office incentives.
Scarlett Johansson is also very popular, spending three million dollars, and part of the box office reward mechanism.
Not to mention the project’s initiator Michael Bay, who directly used 10% of the global box office dividends and channel dividends to win over.
It’s also because Michael Bay has a very deep friendship with the gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer-the debut work is the project Jerry is looking for, and the opportunity given to Michael Bay to direct it is not excessive at all.
The digging behavior of DreamWorks directly caused Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer to turn over.
The latter situation will also be known. Michael Bay, who is not under the supervision of Jerry, is enjoying the freedom of filming. As a result, the plot of ”Escape from the Clone Island” is verbose, without the stimulating rhythm of the previous explosion of Bayi's fame, resulting in very unsatisfactory box office.
In other words, Michael Bay didn't play clichés, he began to play a deep transformation and died suddenly.
Unfortunately, Spielberg didn't know this.
He is still fantasizing that DreamWorks relies on this masterpiece to regain its momentum and save the decline of the sun.
He even agreed to Warner’s invitation to attend the launch conference of ”Batman” and talk to Warner executives about the project's cooperative release in advance.
