America: Starting with the Acquisition of MGM

Chapter 186 181 Good News From the Military and the Emmy Awards Are Coming

Chapter 182 Good news from the military and the Emmy Awards are here

Los Angeles Times: "I was invited to attend the premiere of MGM's new movie "Happy Death Day". As a non-horror movie audience, I didn't have high expectations for the movie.

"Although the Russo brothers are not new directors, there is really nothing to introduce about their works. The only label I know of Gal Gadot is Transformers, but it's a pity that it hasn't been released yet."

"As for Benjamin McKenzie, he is a newcomer among newcomers. I have no impression of this actor at all."

"But when the movie started, I gradually immersed myself in it. It was similar to the time and space cycle of "Groundhog Day", coupled with the constant death and rebirth of killing. "

"In the end, the heroine unraveled the murderer step by step and reached a reconciliation with her bad past self."

"This is a horror movie that is not scary, but full of fun. It is recommended to watch it with your significant other or friends. You will enjoy this 100 minutes. ”

San Francisco Post: "Happy Death Day is an excellent chick flick. Unlike another horror film "Get Out" currently being screened by MGM, "Happy Death Day" combines horror, suspense, humor and other elements very well."

"Its depth is not as good as "Get Out", but it is more interesting than the former. I recommend girls to bring their besties to the cinema. It is worth the ticket price."

ABC Entertainment Online: "In September, I was looking for excellent movies in the cinema, and then "Happy Death Day" came into my sight."

"I admit that I was attracted by the appearance of Gal Gadot on the poster. I want to see what this Transformers girl can do."

"The movie has not ended yet, but my review is already out. I must praise Gal Gadot. Her performance is not like a novice at all."

"She can seamlessly switch between the image of a green tea bitch and a good girl, and she also showed a scene of perseverance and courage in the fight with the murderer. ”

“It’s rare to see an actress who can show so many characteristics. I probably understand why she was chosen to be the heroine of Transformers.”

“I give Happy Death Day a score of 75 points. It is an excellent horror masterpiece.”

CBS Entertainment: “Happy Death Day is a movie that you don’t expect much, but it can surprise you.”

“The ingenious film conception and qualified logical reasoning make it self-consistent without obvious loopholes.”

“The performances of all the actors are up to standard. As Gal Gadot, who plays the leading role for the first time, I have to say that this girl conquered me. "

Early in the morning, Eric and Gadot were still sleeping in bed.

After a tiring night, Gadot came at least 8 times.

She has a special body constitution, and it was difficult for her to have an orgasm for the first time. Eric took more than half an hour to reach the peak.

But it became easier after that. When she was fast, she came every few minutes, and when she was slow, she came every ten seconds. In the end, she became a pool of ice cream.

Even though she kept exercising according to Eric's requirements, she was still confused by the waves of peaks.

Dong Dong Dong

There was a knock on the door, Eric slowly opened his eyes and patted Gadot.

The other party twisted his body, hummed unsatisfiedly in his nose, his eyes were still closed, and he hugged Eric tighter.

"Who is it?"

"Me!" Judy's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in. "

Rubbing his eyes, Eric didn't avoid her. Judy didn't knock on the door when she was in college. She had seen everything she should and shouldn't have seen.

Click!

The door was pushed open, and Judy walked in with a stack of newspapers.

Shaking his head, he saw the two naked and hugging each other, and a smile suddenly rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, it seems you had a pleasant night."

"Please, don't smile so obscenely, okay? This expression is really disgusting, how do you know I'm here?"

Judy showed two rows of white teeth: "Then ask yourself, Refaeli couldn't stand the noise you made last night, so she went to my house."

"She said that the noise was like killing someone, a man was going to kill a woman, if she didn't leave, if the neighbors called the police, she would also be implicated."

"I'm a little curious, are you too strong? Or is Gadot too weak? "

Eric wanted to say that you would know if you try it, but luckily he held back.

"Uh, what's that in your hand?"

Judy threw the newspaper over: "Take a look, the media reviews of Happy Death Day. I know some people want to see this the most, so I sent it here specially."

Hearing this, Gadot's radar was immediately activated, her sleepy eyes disappeared, she sat up instantly, grabbed the newspaper in her hand and began to read it carefully.

Rustle

The newspaper was flipped quickly.

After a while, the room was suddenly filled with the girl's happy and hearty laughter.

"Honey, look at this, they praised me for being beautiful, although this is true, but they also praised my excellent acting skills, hahahaha"

"And this, Happy Death Day is a wonderful movie, and Gal Gadot has a charming temperament."

"This, this, look at this again"

"Damn! The Independent actually called us rubbish, Happy Death Day is a bad movie with no logic, the director's professional level is very poor, and the use of the lens is full of poor imitations. ”

"Gal Gadot's acting is even worse. She should really go to school to learn professional acting, otherwise she will have a hard time gaining a foothold in Hollywood in the future."

"Benjamin McKenzie's acting is just as bad. His face is not suitable for campus themes at all. He has taken the wrong path."

Gadot angrily tore up the Independent and kept cursing.

Eric could only stroke her back like a kitten: "Don't be angry, baby. Ever since I publicly scolded the Independent, they have always been at odds with me."

"Anyway, anything related to me is wrong in the eyes of the Independent. Learning to control emotions is a required course for a qualified actor."

Gadot whimpered a few times in grievance, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Eric, should I really study acting? You enrolled me in USC last year, but I only showed up when I enrolled. It's been almost a year now."

Eric kissed her forehead and laughed, "Honey, there's really no need to take other people's opinions to heart. Going to school is a waste of life."

"There's a saying that is most effective in the entertainment industry. Do you know what it is?"

"Ah?"

"You have to become famous as early as possible, so you just need to follow the route I arrange, and everything will be fine."

"Really? But I think my acting skills may really need to be honed."

"Ha Hahaha, don't care too much about acting. What is acting? To put it bluntly, it is the way of acting that the media and public opinion tend to show. "

"When I master public opinion in the future, I can package even a dog or a pile of feces into an acting school."

"Besides, although your talent is not too strong, you are not a fool. You will have acting skills, okay?"

Gadot snorted a few times: "It sounds like you are praising me, but think about it, it feels like you are belittling me."

A week later, even if there are deliberate smears or bad reviews like the Independent, "Happy Death Day" still won the recognition of the vast majority of media and audiences.

IMDB's current score is 6 points, which is already very good in the field of horror films. It is difficult for most horror films to get 6 points.

The evaluation of Rotten Tomatoes is more realistic, with a freshness of 88%, which can already explain everything.

With the filming of 2,000 theaters, coupled with word of mouth and fun, "Happy Death Day" won $26 million in the three-day weekend box office, and directly blasted $48 million in the week box office, winning the box office champion of this week.

Although it did not exceed the first-week box office of "Get Out", it was still a huge success.

After all, the production and publicity costs were only 13 million US dollars, and it has already achieved profitability.

The main creative team began to promote in major cities, appearing on variety shows and talk shows to increase their popularity.

Before the movie was released, Gadot had only more than 600,000 fans on Facebook, while Michael, who had the highest number of fans, had reached a terrifying 8 million, a huge difference.

But after the movie was released, Gadot's number of fans has risen to 1.8 million. It is definitely not comparable to Michael, but it has been able to squeeze into the top 100 public figures, temporarily ranked 98th.

Benjamin McKinsey also got more film contracts because of this, and the Russo brothers were praised as excellent young directors.

Some media have said that they will be the fourth pair of famous director brothers after the Coen brothers, the Wachowski brothers, and the Nolan brothers.

Anyway, they are praised very much, much more lively than when they praised James Wan, who has white skin.

Meiyi Records has been registered and settled in Burbank. As the second largest shareholder, Eric also paid $10 million as start-up capital.

Michael's connections in the music industry are still very powerful. With his charm and fame, he quickly recruited a lot of professional talents, and the company structure has been nearly complete.

In a week or two, the official opening ceremony will be held, and then the signing of singers will be on the right track.

"Supernatural" has started filming, and the protagonist brothers still fall on Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.

Jensen Ackles, who currently plays the older brother Dean, is almost a pure newcomer.

Jared Padalecki, who plays the younger brother Sam, has been in the industry for several years and has participated in "Gilmore Girls". He is a little famous among teenagers, but his career has not improved much.

Liu Yifei's role was arranged in the fifth episode. After receiving the notice, he called to thank her and said that he would fly over to participate in the filming in the near future. He must thank him at that time.

"Hannibal" and "American Horror Story" are forming crews and will start filming within half a month.

Eric has not had time to polish the script of "Breaking Bad", but he is not in a hurry. The show is expected to be broadcast next year.

At this time, a Wrangler was speeding on the road and arrived at the Nevada military base a few hours later.

After careful inspection, Eric and the lawyer were allowed to enter, and a captain took them to John Defar Adams' office.

After closing the door, John Adams made coffee for the two.

"There is only coffee, no tea, or you can drink water."

"Coffee is fine."

After a few pleasantries, neither of them was a sloppy person, so they started talking about business directly.

"Eric, you are lucky. The Ministry of Defense is preparing to upgrade the military intranet."

"Originally, some old equipment, lines and architectures were to be eliminated, but after I made a suggestion, they thought that a small part could be retained."

"Uh, is this considered waste utilization?"

"If you must say it so harshly, then yes, you can think so."

"But you have to understand that even the waste eliminated by the military network is far superior to the civilian network available on the market."

"If you use it, you can at least ensure that your network is three to five years ahead of your competitors."

Eric nodded. Not to mention five years, even three years ahead is a huge advantage.

He doesn't believe that when YouTube and Lionheart go online, other groups will not imitate, and competition will definitely appear.

"John, what about the risk of military leaks? Didn't you worry about this problem before?"

John Adams smiled and said: "You can rest assured in this regard. The area reserved for you is specially independent and cannot be connected to the military network, and it will not involve military secrets."

"In addition, there is the issue of price. After discussion, the Ministry of Defense requires a usage fee of 10 million US dollars per year."

"The contract will last for 5 years. After 5 years, the price will be determined according to the situation. Of course, if the civilian technology develops fast enough at that time, you can also terminate the contract."

"It's waste utilization anyway, right?"

The two laughed at the same time.

It's worth it to buy the right to use garbage in the eyes of others for 10 million US dollars, very worthwhile!

This is like a developed country transferring a heavily polluting enterprise to a developing country. You have to accept it even if the pollution is serious.

Only by accepting it can you have a foundation for development and lead other developing countries.

Moreover, the price of 10 million US dollars may be a little high in the first year, but when YouTube and Lionheart Network develop in the second year, it will be a bargain.

He knew that John Adams must have made an effort to get the job done, and it was time for him to give him a reward.

"Eric, here is the contract. After signing it, the matter will be settled."

John Adams took out a contract and handed it over. The lawyer took it and began to review it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded.

Eric signed his name and then took out a contract from his briefcase, which contained the share agreement of Lionheart Network.

"John, this is your technology share agreement, 5% of the shares."

John Adams didn't even look at the content and chose to sign it directly. He was confident that Eric would not play tricks on the agreement.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"John, 5% of the shares may not seem like much, but I advise you to keep it. Maybe it will only take three to five years, and it will bring you amazing wealth."

Time flies to late September. As the producer and screenwriter of "The Walking Dead", Eric received an invitation to the 55th Emmy Awards.

Although awards are not a measure of the value of a show, they can increase the added value of a show.

It's time to test the charm of "The Walking Dead" in the eyes of these judges.
