If you only watch the first or second half of "Escape from the Cloned Island", it is quite good, but when the two are combined, they always give people a feeling of awkwardness.

To be honest, this is definitely not the worst movie Michael Bay has ever made, at least it is better than the very unreliable "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation".

Because Scarlett Johnson turned down the audition invitation for this film due to Ronan's relationship, Michael Bay finally chose Jessica Alba as the heroine.

This also gives the film a sufficient guarantee of its appearance.

In the former "Escape from the Cloned Island", the crew selected two typical literary stars, Evan McGregor and Scarlett Johnson, as the protagonists, which is also considered to be one of the reasons for the failure.

Having said that, looking at Michael Bay's past, "Escape from the Cloned Island" can be said to be Michael Bay's most thoughtful and sensational work.

OK, this is the first half.

To be more precise, Michael Bay wanted to play with the meaning, but somehow he turned back on the old way of chasing the explosion.

The splitting of style is the most terrifying thing.

Michael Bay's movie has a bad reputation during the preview, but in the past, the box office after its official release always made the director's situation comeback.

This did not appear in "Escape from the Cloned Island".

Even though DreamWorks invested nearly $180 million in the promotion and distribution costs of this film, it still cannot bring Michael Bay's consistent success.

North America started painting for three days on weekends, and "Escape from the Cloned Island" earned $11.4 million.

Box office defeat!

And irreversible.

Spielberg is also a qualified businessman. Seeing that things cannot be done, he immediately gave up and continued to invest and stopped losing in time.

Fortunately, DreamWorks is not the dreamworks they used to be. After successfully raising funds from India and having independent global issuance channels, they have stronger risk resistance.

Otherwise, the failure of "Escape from the Cloned Island" will lead DreamWorks to the old path of selling itself to the six major companies.

The failures of "Dynasty of Heaven" and "Escape from the Cloned Island" also made Relativity Entertainment's "Spy Shadows 3" in some ways.

After the summer season began, "Spy Shadows 3" dominated the company and achieved three consecutive championships in the North American box office list very easily and smoothly.

On the third weekend of "Spy Shadows 3", it received another $22.15 million in North America, with a total box office of $191.83 million.

The final North American box office of this film is highly promising to hit $300 million or more.

Two consecutive first-line commercial films failed, and both inside and outside the industry seemed to feel the coldness of this summer.

Hollywood is very realistic. The failure of "Escape from the Clones" and DreamWorks temporarily interrupted the discussion with Michael Bay's new project. Michael Bay's first movie after leaving Jerry Brookheimer ended in failure.

There are more and more criticisms about Michael Bay in the outside world. Ronan has not made contact with Michael Bay for the time being. These criticisms are actually not a bad thing for Michael Bay.

To be honest, Michael Bay is a typical commercial director. After being scolded by film critics for so many years, he is a bit of a trend of being brought into the ditch by the public opinion of film critics. If you don’t shoot good commercial films, you have to add various humanistic thoughts to large-scale commercial films...

Not to mention Michael Bay, most directors actually have only one result in failure when doing this.

The critics have misled many talented commercial directors. Ronan is actually very sorry for the Wachowski brothers. This pair, who are temporarily brothers and later become sisters, could have brought another atmosphere to Hollywood commercial films.

Unfortunately, the film critics' flattery made them completely embark on the path of philosophical thinking, and never looked back and never achieved the success of "The Matrix".

Even among many comments about directors, the Wachowski brothers are typical examples of the peak of their debut.

Although "The Matrix" is not the first work of the Wachowski brothers, it is a famous work, and the two have been on the decline since then.

Finally, I went to film a TV series, but I was still very imaginative, but I still couldn't get rid of the failure, and the project was forcibly cut off...

The Wachowski brothers were praised for being biased, while Michael Bay was criticized for being biased.

Perhaps, the failure of "Escape from the Cloned Island" will make Michael Bay more clearly recognize himself.

Ronan called George Clint and asked him to contact Michael Bay after entering June to discuss the Transformers project with him.

For now, Ronan can't find a director who is more reassuring than Michael Bay.

Gilmo del Toro expressed his interest in Transformers, but his production philosophy has added too many ingredients about the island nation Gundam and mecha.

Ronan was full of doubts about this, just like a mecha and a monster, and politely declined Gilmo del Toro.

The huge investment in the Transformers project determines that the audience and market differences must be considered at the beginning of the project.

Hasbro is far less calm than relativity entertainment, and has repeatedly urged film production to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

However, even if this top production project is not counted as the final release, it will take at least two years of production cycle.

Relatively speaking, Michael Bay is the kind of director who makes faster films.

At the same time, good news from the Premier League came.

In the penultimate round of the 2004-2005 season, Manchester United swept West Bromvic at home. Although Chelsea also won this round, Manchester United still maintained a five-point lead in the standings, thus winning the Premier League championship one round ahead of schedule.

In this way, Manchester United can devote all their energy to preparing for the Champions League final at the end of May.

Roan specifically asked someone to inquire. Although Chelsea did not win the Premier League championship, they still had the FA Cup to compete for. Abramovich did not mean to fire Mourinho, but instead planned to increase investment in the next season.

What is the most effective way for a football club to improve their performance? That is to increase capital investment.

Today's football professional league has been completely commercialized.

Ronan did not attend Manchester United's Premier League championship celebration because the first animated feature film "Despicable Me" by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio was officially released, and Manchester United's real championship celebration will have to wait until the end of the Champions League final.

Embassy Pictures also held a premiere for the animated feature film.

What surprised Ronan a little was that he saw people from Twentieth Century Fox at the premiere.

Chris Renard, director of "Despicable Me", explained to Ronan: "I have an invitation to Twentieth Century Fox."

Ronan nodded slightly, understanding the thoughts of people like Chris Renard.

Chris Renard whispered: "The team that was resigned by 20th Century Fox is now the core of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio. They have always been resentful about 20th Century Fox's ruthlessness, which is also an emotional vent."

Ronan patted his arm lightly: "I understand, just do whatever you want."

Chris Renard shook his head: "The Tom Rossman who kicked us away has lost power at Twentieth Century Fox. The one sent by Twentieth Century Fox is just a middle-level manager."

Ronan comforted: "As long as "Despicable Me" is successful, 20th Century Fox will definitely have ideas and will make a decision to be uncomfortable for the stupidity he was in the past."

Having said that, if 20th Century Fox had not swept Chris Renard and others out, how could Shahai Entertainment successfully establish its own animation studio?

In this regard, Relativity Entertainment should come to Fox Building to thank you.

Ronan swears that he really wants to thank Twentieth Century Fox.

Perhaps, when Universal Pictures acquired Lighting Entertainment at that time, they had similar ideas.

Twentieth Century Fox is such a good person.

About 20th Century Fox believes that with Blue Sky Studio in hand, he has mastered one of the future markets for animated feature film production.

But Blue Sky Studio has already faintly lacked momentum.

As Hollywood's three major animation studios, Pixar has been filming and producing one animated feature film after another and has been successful; DreamWorks Animation Studio is also constantly developing new territory outside of "Monster Shrek". The successful "Shark Gang" last year and the upcoming "Madagascar" this summer are proof; the development of Blue Sky Studio is a bit lagging behind, and it still holds the "Ice Age" series tightly, and other production and development are seriously lagging behind.

Once upon a time, the decline of Blue Sky Studio was not unreasonable.

After 2010, Twentieth Century Fox wanted to sell Blue Sky Studio more than once, but could not find a company that was willing to take over.

The release of "Despicable Me" is of great significance to relativity entertainment.

After comedy movies, Relativity Entertainment has opened up a new territory in the production of feature films.

Of course, compared to the animated feature films produced by Pixar's sluts, "Despicable Me" is relatively rough in terms of graphics and other technologies. After all, the production cost is only $60 million.

Fine technology is the guarantee of success, and successful animated feature films may not be all technically exquisite works.

"Despicable Me" almost perfectly interprets this aspect.

The style of this animated feature film is exactly the same as the short film of "Minius". It is not an adult fairy tale like Pixar with tears in laughter, but a typical simple and cute one.

The plot and theme are simple, and several protagonists, especially the Minions, are responsible for cuteness.

When a bunch of minnows appeared, it was so cute that all the people in the theater were.

Therefore, after the release of "Despicable Me", it was a success as expected, and the box office of the first weekend of North America was as high as 65.47 million US dollars!

This achievement was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Despicable Me" also ended the situation of "Spy Shadows 3" being the best in the North American box office rankings, and it took the throne of the box office champion with the painting.
