Chapter 1666 Believe It or Not, I Believe It Anyway!
? Throughout 2009, there is no shortage of blockbuster movies with background, but there are too many big fish and big meat, and it is easy to be partial to food.
Universal originally prepared for the summer, such as the main film "Public Enemy Number One", "Funny People", "The Lost Continent" and "Into Hell" were all rejected by Andy, and they were scattered in other months to avoid the crazy summer. files.
Although the starring cast of "Public Enemy Number One" is no worse than other major productions, Depp, Marion, Christian Bale, and the epic gangster legend that the three big guys gather together are definitely worth watching However, it is difficult to get rid of the fate of being besieged and turned into cannon fodder when it comes to the summer vacation when there are a lot of big productions selling special effects.
"...You know, even I have heard that the biggest anecdote in Hollywood today is that someone still invested in Eddie Murphy's film!"
Although Andy's performance was very indifferent, the sarcasm in his tone still made the former executives of Universal Pictures blush and feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.
"Think about how miserable the box office of last year's "Spaceship Dave" was. However, Paramount didn't believe in evil and took out 55 million bets that Murphy would bottom out. As a result, "Fantasy Land" repeated itself. The situation of "Spaceship Dave" is slightly better, with a box office of 16.12 million, which is more than 4 million more than the latter.
And you gave him 100 million dollars to make "The Lost Continent", who can tell me, can we recover the cost? "
Although this was an investment from Universal Pictures before the acquisition, but now that the scapegoat has fallen into Andy's hands, how could he be happy.
"I don't care what method you use, whether it's re-editing or smashing publicity, I hope to at least get me back the cost. In the future, this kind of director or actor who is obviously a huge hole, I hope you will be careful when choosing, and the cost is small. You can take a gamble, the production cost exceeds 100 million US dollars, that is not a gamble!"
When Andy said this, he looked at Adam Ferguson, the chairman of Universal Pictures. To be honest, Adam Ferguson's ability is really average. It is not much worse to say that he is mediocre, but because what Andy needs now is Universal Pictures. The stability within the industry is stable and transitional, not turbulent, so, coupled with the premise of his quick surrender, Andy will let him take over the chairmanship of Universal Pictures.
Although Adam Ferguson was bitter in his heart, he could only accept the pot, and then slowly figure out a way. Besides, he might not really lose money, in case of a counterattack. . .
Andy ignored Adam who was still thinking about counterattacking, and turned his attention to Rob Freeman, the former CEO of Summit Entertainment and now the CEO and president of Universal Pictures.
"Double hangover and heartwarming football,
Pay more attention, it is best to finish the production of "The Hangover" before June, and use it to snipe the summer file with "Superman". "
"Understood." Rob Freeman, who was familiar with getting along with the young big boss, nodded without hesitation.
"Furthermore, the plan to establish a Universal Pictures office in China must be launched as soon as possible. The personnel from China are already in place, and the headquarters will send people there as soon as possible. Remember, in China, the local team is the leader. This team must not only Bringing our films to China can also help us discover local themes and better invest, produce, and co-produce.”
Andy's inclination towards the Tianchao market has long been no secret within Universal, and Tianchao's annual quota of imported films is only 20. Regardless of whether it is an imported film from the Hollywood Six or other countries, it must be limited by this amount if it wants to enter the Chinese market.
Universal Pictures settled in China. Although it does not have any "privileges" in terms of film announcements, it is definitely the most important move among the six major Hollywood companies. Whether it is from the macro level of strategic layout or media contact , New media operations and other specific implementations are very forward-looking.
In particular, Andy understands better than anyone else that the influence of many things in Tianchao is very great. (Because the distribution of foreign films is more complicated and complicated, related issues will not be discussed.)
Anyway, for the second largest ticket warehouse in the world, Andy decided to spare no effort to develop this market. Disney can build an amusement park in Shanghai, and his Universal Studios can also be built in Beijing, especially knowing that the land in Beijing will become more and more valuable. Under the premise.
One of the important plans for this year is to return to the Heavenly Dynasty, and talk to relevant parties.
After the meeting, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Andy walked out of the headquarters of Universal Pictures, got in the car, checked the information of Xiasai Huangfa, and shook his head with a wry smile.
On the beach of Long Beach, with loose blond hair and fluttering in the sea breeze, Charlize is wearing sunglasses, wearing comfortable black cropped pants and a hoodie, holding little Laura in a cartoon jumpsuit with one hand, and is with the bodyguards beside her joking.
Little Laura, on the other hand, seemed to have discovered a new world, with a pair of big watery eyes, constantly turning her head, looking at the surrounding scenery.
I have to say that there are too few women who are more mature and more beautiful, and Theron is definitely one of them. The temperament bonus in these years should not be too strong. Having said that, the temperament comes from the heart, from living clearly, holding the girl in the left hand, and carrying the clothes in the right hand. The emperor of Little Laura's supplies bag must be able to live a more exciting life.
Charlize saw the black convoy approaching in the distance, her eyes under the sunglasses flickered, and the corners of her mouth that had just turned up quickly retracted, making the smile dissipate.
The convoy stopped on the side of the road where she was standing, and the black SUV door was pushed open from inside. Saihuang saw that the car was waving at her and little Laura, but Andy, who didn't get out of the car, couldn't help but coquettishly said: " coward!"
Cowards are cowards, and Andy doesn't want to be photographed in a "family of three" photo, which is hitting Ivana in the face at Hongguoguo, which will only make things worse and break the tacit understanding, but then I can't go back either.
Charlize had already seen Andy in her arms, and began to struggle in her arms, giggling coquettishly, stretched out her little hands, and uttered 'papa' indistinctly.
With a smile on his face, Andy stretched out his hand to take the little Laura who kept jumping on the car seat, and began to kiss her little face.
"Ah-"
The little Laura, who was a little uncomfortable being rubbed by Andy's nose, kept giggling, opened her toothless mouth and shook her head to bite Andy's nose, getting all saliva.
"boom!"
Sai Huang got into the car, and after the car door was closed, he took off his sunglasses, glanced at Andy with a bad face, and said with a sneer, "I thought you forgot both of us!"
"Hehe, how could it be. My little Laura is my little baby, and no one can forget her... oh."
Andy, who was hugging little Laura and kissing him enough, felt a piercing pain in his waist, which made him cry out. He was stretching out his little hand to grab Andy's hair. Little Laura looked at Andy, blinking her big eyes, mouth Depressed and about to cry, Andy hurriedly started making faces.
"Giggle..."
The little Laura, who was holding her mouth, smiled again, and Andy was relieved, and looked at the normal Saihuang with some flattery, and said with a shy face: "And my big baby, who will never forget of."
"what--"
Charlize sneered, showing the queen's contemptuous expression, and said sarcastically: "Your baby (sugar) is too much, right?
To be honest, Andy, you have really refreshed my understanding of you. I never thought that you would not let Sophie Marceau go!
Hehe, sure enough, you really have a special way of liking your so-called goddess, and you are really ruthless. . . "
"Okay, don't talk nonsense in front of the children!"
The corner of Andy's mouth twitched a few times, and little Laura, who heard her mother's sneer, turned to look at Charlize curiously. Seeing this, Andy immediately lowered his voice to stop Charlize's cynicism.
"Sophie Marceau and I are not what you think. It's all for work. The company hopes to use me to hype the popularity of the "Robin Hood" movie. Moreover, she is also in Los Angeles. How is it possible..." Andy looked at Charlie Zi still had a contemptuous expression, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, and this is the truth."
"You're so shameless!" Charlize laughed angrily when she heard Andy's rascally words, gritted her teeth and complained in a low voice.
