The summer of 2018 was extremely hot. It made people think that the Arctic glaciers had completely lost control. The sea level seemed to be rising steadily within sight. It might break through the coast and submerge the city at any time. The high temperature in the air almost became material. The ground invades the skin and sets the blood on fire.
However, the hotter the summer, the more obvious the noise in the entire North American film market becomes. This year¡¯s North American summer season is exciting. Eleven Studios, an absolute outlier in the entertainment industry, has now become one of the three major North American companies competing with Warner Bros. and Paramount. One of the film companies, but from the beginning to the end, Studio Eleven has not been listed on the market and has always maintained the form of a workshop.
However, the Eleven Fund established by Eleven Studio has also become the world's largest artist paradise. Every year, Eleven Studio will send out US$400 million in sponsorships to fund various forms of artistic behavior, including painting, sculpture, architecture, etc. The art field is cold, let alone music, film and other fields. In addition, Studio Eleven also invests more than one billion US dollars in sponsorship every year in the fund it sets up for poor children around the world, sparing no effort to contribute to charity. This also makes Studio Eleven even if No matter how much you earn, it's still not a big company.
But it is such a small workshop, the number of movies produced every year is always less than ten, but it has formed an iron triangle with Warner Bros. Paramount. Warner Bros., under the leadership of Barry Meyer, has ushered in a new peak, with five consecutive years. The great cause of dominating the North American market created a glorious era; while Paramount Pictures gradually returned to stability under Brad Gray's forge ahead. Reviving the style of the old company; and finally adding the unparalleled Eleven Studio, this is the structure of the American and even global film market today.
Disney got help from Illumination Entertainment, only to acquire Marvel and Lucasfilm. It has incorporated the "Avengers" project and the "Star Wars" project into its portfolio, and has gradually returned to its peak. In recent years, it has firmly ranked fourth in Hollywood. Relatively speaking, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Sony Columbia Pictures performed more unstablely, with each other winning and losing, but they were never able to find a breakthrough.
Eleven Studio, which has been making waves throughout the summer, announced that it will hold a press conference on July 1, Thomas Lansing, general manager of Eleven Productions, revealed. This will be important news that affects Eleven Studio¡¯s plans for the next ten years. As soon as this news came out, people began to speculate whether Eleven Studio was about to go public, but this speculation has been vaguely speculated since 2010. But it has never really been realized until now, so people are not sure.
Later, the "New York Times" unexpectedly discovered that Teddy Bell, Eden Hudson, Andre Lindbergh, and Sean Mayer had all returned to New York, and even the ten-year-old who had been stationed in Paris all year round. One Design General Manager Frank James is also back. Plus Thomas Lansing, Kurt LaPorte, and Ty Case, who have always been in New York. In short, the entire top management of Studio Eleven returned collectively, which is really abnormal.
Since Evan Bell retired, the leadership structure of Eleven Studios has also been slightly adjusted. Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson have distributed the work at hand to varying degrees and also taken annual vacations. Now These two big guys who had not shown up for nearly half a year are back, which makes people have to speculate that the "listing" is imminent. But think about it carefully. If it is just a listing, there is no need for all departments to come back. There seems to be something hidden.
Later, "Entertainment Weekly" discovered that Katherine Bell and DeBath Francis, who had been traveling around the world for nearly fifteen months, had returned to New York, and then Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt , Blake Lively, Christopher Nolan, Natalie Portman, Republic Day, Adele Adkins, Taylor Swift and other Eleven Studio artists have all returned to New York.
These artists are not only contracted artists under Eleven Studio, they are also friends of Evan Bell. Even though Evan Bell disappeared for seven years, their friendship with Evan Bell has not changed at all. Therefore, it is even more meaningful that they chose this time to return and hold a press conference.
This move by Studio Eleven is so ambitious that people have to speculate a lot. At this time, an idea has already emerged: Is Evan Bell coming back?
When this speculation surfaced, the entire American entertainment industry was boiling!
At this time, a full seven years have passed since Evan Bell retired on February 28, 2011. During these seven years, Evan Bell really did not appear in any formal public occasion again. In fact, news about Evan Bell has appeared in newspapers intermittently over the years, but he refused any form of interview
Evan Bell once rehearsed a play Off-Broadway, which was a huge success and performed on the Broadway stage for three full seasons. He was like a real Broadway actor, enjoying the life of Broadway; later this show The play also made its way to London's West End, where it ran for two seasons.
Evan Bell once shot two documentary features under the name "Watson Gu". One was about water poverty in Africa, and the other was about the ecology of Antarctica. Neither of these two feature documentaries has been officially released. It did not appear in any film festivals. It was only released on a small scale in art theaters and then put into the DVD market. The response was mostly among ordinary audiences.
In addition, Evan Bell also entered Oxford University to study double majors in East Asian Literature and Film Art, and published many academic papers in professional journals. He also served as a visiting professor in the Journalism Department of Columbia University for two years. w¨¨izhi.
These are just activities that people know about, because they are all public activities that will come into contact with many people, but even in these public occasions, Evan Bell does not consider himself an artist, but more just performs these activities as an ordinary person. Outside of this, Evan Bell's life has completely returned to calm in the past seven years, almost disappearing from the public eye.
As Evan Bell said, the entertainment industry is an industry that likes the new but hates the old. Even the most brilliant artists will decline one day; no matter how popular they are, they will fade; no matter how hot the focus is, they will cool down. During this periodAlthough Evan Bell is one of the most successful artists in history, as time goes by, his figure, name and deeds gradually disappear from people's sight, until people completely forget about it and do not remember it at all. Will mention it again.
However, this summer, when the speculation of "Evan Bell is coming back?" came out, people were still excited, not because people missed Evan Bell so much, but because Evan Bell seemed to be an undefeated myth. , seems to be a jingsh¨¦n totem, which has an immeasurable influence on people.
As a talented artist, the historical records created by Evan Bell need no further elaboration, but Evan Bell¡¯s influence on culture can be seen in every corner. Nowadays, newcomers among singers and actors who have entered the industry under the influence of Evan Bell have grown up, and the idea of ??"work first" embedded in the blood of the entire Grammy and Oscar award systems has also affected the entire entertainment industry. In addition, the influence of Evan Bell¡¯s music and film works that have penetrated into the bone marrow of relevant works on the market can be seen everywhere This kind of penetration into the entire culture has made Evan Bell, as an artist, reach a level A whole new level.
Not to mention, Evan Bell interprets Rabindranath Tagore's poem "Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves" to the fullest, and the classic line "One confidant is enough, but blindly following ten thousand names is too few." It is the target of countless people, and No. 9 and 10 Princes Street are now sacred places in the hearts of independent musicians and independent filmmakers around the world. This is Evan Bell's invisible influence on entertainment culture.
Therefore, when "Entertainment Weekly" speculated whether Evan Bell was returning, that deep-rooted influence suddenly burst out. It is conceivable that if Evan Bell really returns, the entire entertainment industry will undergo earth-shaking changes. Change, this is the profound mark that Evan Bell left in the entertainment industry. Even if seven years have passed, there will not be much change.
As "Entertainment Weekly" is the most outstanding partner of Eleven Studio, William Wood has now become the editor-in-chief of the magazine. His guess is definitely not groundless. Although even William Wood has not been able to interview Evan Bell over the years, but It is undeniable that Eleven Studios will sell William Wood's face, which also makes the source of "Entertainment Weekly" relatively accurate.
So, does the speculation by "Entertainment Weekly" mean the truth this time?
On July 1st, more than 500 reporters from all over the world gathered in the press hall on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. No matter whether the speculation about Evan Bell¡¯s imminent return was accurate or not, or whether the speculation about Eleven Studio¡¯s listing was going to happen again. It went wrong, just because Thomas Lansing solemnly held a press conference, and just because of Eleven Studio's current position in the world's entertainment industry, this press conference was worthy of reporters gathering at the scene. Not to mention that if today's news is that Evan Bell or IPO, the press conference will definitely explode.
A sultry atmosphere surrounded the room. Even turning the air conditioner to the maximum could not dispel people's inner expectations and anxiety. Reporters were whispering among themselves, speculating on what explosive news would be announced at the upcoming press conference. It also made the venue full of atmosphereThere is a suffocating tightness.
The last day, haha, I¡¯m reluctant to leave. (To be continued)
