    "Wan Xiaohu blasted Spielberg as ungrateful and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people." "Spielberg and Wan Xiaohu have different opinions on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur." ??"Who is really caring about Darfur?  You?" "Wan Xiaohu or Spielberg, who lied about the Darfur issue?" One stone stirred up a thousand waves.  As Wan Xiaohu¡¯s statement was reprinted by major media, Hollywood suddenly fell into a melee of public opinion. The media that supported the boycott of the Beijing Olympics and the media that did not support the boycott were in a quarrel.  Wan Xiaohu also used his status as the major shareholder of Facebook to communicate with the management, making Facebook slightly less inclined to support the boycott.  In addition, he is the boss of Twitter and YouTube. The three major emerging Internet media in the United States all have Wan Xiaohu's shares, which quickly offset the influence of traditional paper media and greatly increased their influence on American teenagers, making the originally vigorous boycott  , becomes self-divided.  All the celebrities who were sitting on the fence suddenly hesitated when they saw more and more young people supporting the Beijing Olympics. ?? Celebrities like them have huge influence, but to put it bluntly, they still have to rely on money from the audience. If they lose fans because of the boycott of the Beijing Olympics, it will be more of a loss than the gain.  ¡°If Wan Xiaohu hadn¡¯t stood up and started a public opinion war, they might as well have followed Mia Farrow and others, cheering and showing their humanitarian stance, as well as the so-called democracy and human rights.  The war of public opinion has begun, and if you continue to shout, you are choosing a side.  No matter which side you choose, you will always offend the other side, so the best choice is to remain silent and not interfere.  And originally Hollywood stars were planning to collectively protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in the United States.  Being disturbed by Wan Xiaohu, many people quit directly.  The 28-year-old Wan Xiaohu is already a world-class director, and his future achievements are limitless. There is no need to offend him for Darfur, which cannot be beaten with eight sticks.  ??Especially some big-name celebrities, they can see it very clearly.  On the Darfur issue, of course they have their own freedom of speech and can support whomever they want.  But we also need to understand that Sasha Entertainment has the potential to develop into the most successful independent film company, and Wan Xiaohu himself is standing behind the rising Chinese market.  ??Which is the greater benefit from boycotting the Olympics, or the greater loss from offending Wan Xiaohu and the Chinese market?  Therefore, the boycott, which was brewing like a storm, ended miserably.  And Spielberg, who was scolded by Wan Xiaohu, also remained silent.     this matter.  In this way, gradually, as more and more countries and groups announced their support for the Beijing Olympics, it was forgotten by people. ?¡­ ?The time is February 24, 2008.  Not long after the Hollywood writers¡¯ strike ended, a small group of Hollywood stars, in interviews with reporters, clamored to boycott the Beijing Olympics.  However, the media's attention is no longer on the Olympic Games in the east of the world, but on the west in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.  The 80th Academy Awards.  The awards ceremony will be held tonight.  Honoring all outstanding films, shorts, documentaries and animations from the previous year, as well as all filmmakers.  At the morning awards ceremony briefing, Los Angeles officials announced a set of numbers.  The writers¡¯ strike started on November 5, 2007 and ended on February 12, 2008.  It lasted a total of 100 days.  In the end, the Screenwriters Guild and the Film and Television Producers Alliance signed a three-year tentative agreement. In the future, the screenwriters will receive a share of the Internet profits from their works.  According to the provisions of the agreement, film and television products played on the Internet, regardless of whether the download is charged or not.  The writers must be paid at least US$1,200 per episode in the first two years, and a 2% dividend will be given to the writers starting from the third year.  This is a condition that both parties can barely accept.  ¡°The losses from this general strike were huge.  The impact on the film industry is that the filming of dozens of movies is blocked, and the impact on the television industry is that more than a dozen TV stations have no programs to show, and a large number of viewers are lost.  Some popular TV series will resume filming in time, while some niche TV series will have to wait until after the autumn for scriptwriters to take over, or even be cut in half.  There has also been a huge impact on the peripheral industries of the entertainment industry.  According to official data from Los Angeles, the strike caused the participating screenwriters to lose approximately US$270 million in wages. Other staff engaged in film and television entertainment production suffered wage losses of approximately US$500 million, causing direct losses to the local film and television industry of more than US$1 billion.  Indirect losses were as high as US$3.2 billion.  According to statistics, the losses of Wan Xiaohu¡¯s Sasha Entertainment, Abao Animation and Marvel Comics were as high as more than 10 million US dollars.  The biggest loss is the sequel to the novel-adapted movie "The Da Vinci Code"The film was adapted from the novel of the same name and brought a box office of US$758 million to Sasha Entertainment. Therefore, after the author of the novel published the prequel, Sasha Entertainment quickly adapted it into a movie.  It just so happens that it became the first victim of the writers' strike.  There is no excuse for this kind of loss. I can only regard it as unlucky. Fortunately, ten million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Sasha Entertainment and Abao Animation.  Compared with 20th Century Fox, which is said to have lost hundreds of millions of dollars, it is much luckier.  ¡°Tiger, you are taking advantage of the situation!¡± Tom Rodman, co-chairman of 20th Century Fox, complained to Wan Xiaohu, who was sitting in a chair and slowly sipping coffee.  Tom Rodman has enough reason to complain that 2007 was not a lucky year for 20th Century Fox.  Because a large amount of money was invested in the endless filming of "Avatar", they did not have the ability to shoot more blockbusters.  ¡°I could only tinker with some low-budget movies, but they achieved good results. ¡°The Simpsons,¡± ¡°Juno,¡± and ¡°Alvin and the Chipmunks¡± all made money.  However, the only blockbuster film that had high hopes, "Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer", failed at the box office.  ??Taken together, the film industry is barely making a profit or losing money.  However, the writers' strike caused heavy losses to its Fox TV station. Several programs with good ratings were all suspended, resulting in direct losses of over 100 million US dollars.  This does not include the loss of future audience losses.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 20th Century Fox¡¯s year-end dividends are pitiful, the stock price continues to fall.  What¡¯s even more annoying is that Wan Xiaohu is here to beat the autumn wind again. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Holding the check which is infinitely tempting, and dangling it here and there.  To buy back the copyrights of superheroes "Fantastic Four", "Daredevil" and so on.  Rodman deliberately refused because he knew that Wan Xiaohu was very discerning and would never buy back the copyright just because he was a comic book fan. He must have taken a fancy to the potential of superhero movies.  But he couldn't bear to refuse, because 20th Century Fox was too short of money, and if these superheroes were in their hands, it would be useless if they couldn't realize their great potential.  The X-Men series that can make money have been sold, but the Fantastic Four and Daredevil have not yet made money.  Can you keep it?  You must know that 2003's "Daredevil" received a mediocre reputation, 2005's independent sequel "Elektra" even rushed to grandma's house, and "Fantastic Four 2: The Silver Surfer" also hit the streets. In the 20th century  Many Fox shareholders have lost interest in superheroes.  Not every superhero movie is Spider-Man.  "Chairman Rodman, why hold on to the copyright of superheroes? It must have gone through several successes and failures. You should have seen that the success of the movie has nothing to do with whether the protagonist is a superhero or not. As long as you write a good script  , even ordinary people can still get high box office," Wan Xiaohu said calmly.  He was already committed to 20th Century Fox, and now he couldn't stand the temptation of a check.  The fact is that in the end, Rodman, on behalf of 20th Century Fox, agreed to Manway Comics' buyback request.  Sold all the superheroes belonging to the Fantastic Four comics and Daredevil comics, including the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, Elektra, and Bullseye.  So far, Marvel Comics¡¯ copyright buyback plan has taken back the three major series: X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Daredevil.  In addition, in the hands of New Line Film Company, the "Blade Runner" series of superheroes has expired and no new movies have been released.  As well as the "Hulk" series that Universal Pictures voluntarily abandoned, most of the superheroes who were living abroad have returned home.  Currently, the remaining ones are the "Aquaman Namor" series in the hands of Universal Pictures and the "Humanoid" series in the hands of Lionsgate Pictures, as well as the most difficult to handle, the "Soul Tank" series and "Spider-Man" in the hands of Sony Pictures.  Department.  The "Spider-Man" trilogy was a global hit, with none of the films grossing less than $700 million at the box office.  Marvel Comics has contacted Sony, and Sony¡¯s answer is very firm. There are talks about Soul Tank, but it is absolutely impossible to sell the copyright of Spider-Man.  Wan Xiaohu was helpless about this. He didn't care about the Soul Chariot, but Spider-Man couldn't live without it.  The Spider-Man series involves a number of superheroes such as Spider-Man, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Dr. Lizard, Sandman, Vulture, Mysterious Mage, Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, Electro, Rhino and so on.  Spider-Man is the most popular superhero in Marvel comics. It can be said to be the signature and top card.  Wan Xiaohu is bound to win. Since we can't reach an agreement, we will find a way to deal with it in the future. All roads lead to Rome. There is not only one way to get the copyright.  "Well, Chairman Rodman, then I wish us a happy cooperation." After receiving a positive reply, Wan Xiaohu was naturally satisfied and spoke as he spoke.The curve of the corner of his mouth rose.  Rodman is a free and easy man. Since he agreed to cooperate, he stopped complaining and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. We organized a shareholders' meeting the day before yesterday to watch the semi-finished product of "War for the Planet of the Apes", although many of the lenses have not yet been attached.  Special effects, but shareholders have always believed that this will be an excellent movie. " "As long as everyone is satisfied." "Then I will worry about the promotion in mainland China." "Don't worry, I will.  " Haha, well, I wish Director Wan once again that he will win the best animated film at the Oscars tonight and break the monopoly of Disney, DreamWorks and Pixar on the animated film awards.
