Chapter 601 No matter whether you die or not
As soon as the press conference was over, the entertainment reporters finally dispersed and began to chase other big-name stars for interviews, or began to enjoy the wine and food.
Playboy also began to entertain people, but as soon as he walked down the slope, he was still talking to Sophie Marceau. Jenny Flopez whispered witty words, so he intercepted Edward, the president of Universal, confessed the two ladies, and pulled him to the other side of the pool.
"KING, I heard that you are about to issue a new round of scripts?" Edward, the old fox, went straight to the point in the first sentence. The playboy did not hesitate and nodded, "Yes, fifteen books, two in each of your family, and I will keep three myself. However, for the specific matter, you should talk to Dennis Zhang. Now I really ignore those, and the contract has been signed, and we don't have it. Is there anything we can discuss again?"
The playboy wanted to block the mouth, but Edward didn't want to. It sound like the news that came out, there were only two in each family, but there were still three in the second half of the year. Of course, Jinchen Film Group's own family was not limited, "KING, when will the script be released next year?"
Edward asked tentatively first, but the playboy shook his head, "No, about two days later, before the Christmas holiday, Dennis Zhang will inform you. Just go to draw lots together."
The playboy looked like a businessman and didn't give Edward a chance, but Edward was shy. "So fast, so it's true that there will be three batches of scripts next year?" Looking at Chen Jin nodded, he thought that the total number of a year remained unchanged. There were still six per family. However, Jinchen Film Group made a lot of money. Every year, it kept nine of its own, and they still retained independent distribution rights.
Thinking about the original contract, I now know that the playboys have already figured out countermeasures. However, at this point, Edward can't do anything about it. The best way is to cooperate and hug the playboy's shoulder intimately. "KING, we are old friends, although we have The contract is there, but our cooperation can still be deeper, and it is also because of the contract, those old guys have nothing to say. Who wants us to have a good relationship?
This guy is shameless. Chen Jin prefers William Campbell of 20th Century Fox. That guy is cruel, but he is also generous. Unlike Edward, he is too cunning. Of course, there is no need to maintain the relationship well. After all, the release of the next three years still requires the cooperation of all parties.
"Dear Edward, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you more, but now that the company has taken shape, and Dennis is also taking care of the affairs of the film company. I can't always break the rules," the playboy deliberately smiled bitterly. "You know that guy, even if I'm the boss, he has never regarded me as the boss."
Edward despised the playboy in his heart and thought of who wanted you to pick up with the 15-year-old little beauty, but his face was happy. "I don't believe this. As long as you open your mouth, Dennis will never have any problem."
The two are chatting. Baker of Paramount and Fox William Campbell of the 20th century have come over and are still waving to the playboy. The latter shouted, "KING, what are you talking about with that old fox? Tell you, don't listen to him. That bastard is trying to take advantage of you. It's not good. The bird."
Edward was about to fight back when the playboy whispered, "For the last time, dear Edward, draw lots the day after tomorrow. I will arrange for you to draw first, and then you know, if you can trust me!"
Playboy's character is absolutely good. It's not a lie. Edward immediately smiled. Although he didn't get any other benefits, of the twelve parts, he picked two first, and the playboy himself thought was good, which was naturally quite loving.
Of course, what he doesn't know is that the playboy will indeed give him some benefits, but it may not be both. After all, he also has a "eye-of-sighted" time. However, his benefits are still given. Edward owes this favor. You can't ask for big things. In small things, Edward absolutely won't He will refuse, otherwise he will really have no face to see Playboy again.
Watching William Campbell walk in, he quietly said thank you, hummed proudly, and came forward to William Campbell fiercely. "You guy, you will die if you don't speak ill of me!"
William Campbell grinned in pain and gave him a moment, "It's not that I said that everyone knows that you are bad. Look at me. Who says I'm bad?" He leaned on Chen Jin's shoulder with a smile. "KING, we are all honest people. Our cooperation together is the best partner."
P> Paramount's Baker laughed angrily and scolded, "Your boy still said that you are not bad. You just got into KING and wanted to throw me aside." William Campbell laughed and said, "How can you do that? You are by my side. Can I still dump you?"
The playboy deliberately got goose bumps and shook off William Campbell's hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you two used to like to be a kid. I wipe it, Campbell, why are you so close to this guy? You don't want to take advantage of me, do you? I tell you, everyone in the world knows that I only like it. It's a woman's.
Baker kicked him out, dodged him, and shook his head with a smile. "You live a comfortable life and have a good mentality. We are so worried...," the playboy waved his hand. "Well, don't do this with me. Tell you, I've been using this to cheat the lollipop in children's hands for many years."
William Campbell kicked Edward at this time, "Get out of here, we two and KING have something to say." He was so rude that Edward really left. On the one hand, his benefits have been obtained, and on the other hand, no matter how good William Campbell's character is, he will not pull Baker to get along with Chen Jin. Well, it's very simple. He and Baker really have something to say to Chen Jin.
He even guessed something. After all, the circle is so big, and he is a real big man. Naturally, he knows what is happening in the circle.
Edward is right. William Campbell and Baker came for what he knew. This time, Beck said first, "KING, I heard that you are going to arrange next year's script soon. I want to ask, what is your own schedule?"
He is still implicit, but William Campbell is much more direct. He also understands Chen Jin's temperament. "KING, you have to give us half a year next year to help us shoot a play..."
Chen Jin frowned. He was also a big shot. He knew much more about things in the circle than Edward. He also vaguely thought of some possibilities and shrugged his shoulders. "You two finish talking about things at a time, one by one. I'm very tired to hear."
Baker probably knew that William Campbell was better than he said. He made an invitation gesture. William Campbell was not polite. He pulled Chen Jin and sat down on the bench under the gentle slope and said slowly, "You probably heard about the Titanic we were shooting. I'm not afraid to tell you that the previous budget was 200 million US dollars now. It's almost gone, and Cameron hasn't started shooting yet. The special effects in the later stage are also a lot of money. We all understand. Up to now, we can't do anything about it, but we have to find a leading actor with a box office guarantee.
The three-day box office of "Empire of Tomorrow" will not come out until tomorrow. Two days ago, there are now 4,2 million. This is only in the United States. Moreover, this is not a sudden outbreak like "The Expendables". Many critics predict that the box office of "Empire of Tomorrow" will definitely exceed "The Expendables" by SOC. Tens of millions of dollars.
Up to now, no one in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, can compare with the appeal of Playboy. His fan base is the largest. When Tom Hanks was interviewed at the premiere in New York the day before yesterday, he joked that he was jealous of Chen Jin's so many female fans.
Hearing that it was the Titanic, Chen Jin smiled inexplicably. This was something that William Campbell and Baker did not understand. They said lightly, "Two, I heard that Mr. Cameron is leading the film. You are like this now, and he is not here. Will it cause misunderstandings? You know, I have never liked it. Get involved in such a thing.
William Campbell shook his hand with an angry face, "Now it's not his turn to talk. That guy has a bad temper..."
Playboy is now very clear about the current situation of Titanic. Later generations say that the news that the film has been prepared since 90 is bullshit. At that time, James Cameron may have had such an idea. The real plan was last year. James Cameron persuaded 20th Century Fox to pay for it. Toss him, and then officially start production in September this year. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a real film preparation.
Up to now, in about 100 days, James Cameron has just completed the early model construction, and has been in the water 12 times to shoot some painless things. However, at this time, he doesn't even have a complete script story, such as shooting studio and complete film work. The room has just begun to be built. However, in this way, the whole preliminary work has cost nearly 100 million US dollars. You know, the budget of this film is only 150 million US dollars, which James Cameron told 20th Century Fox at that time.
James Cameron is already famous for tossing. He hasn't started shooting yet. If he goes on like this, he knows how much it will cost. He can even predict that 200 million US dollars is already a certainty. This is only the production cost. You know, the production cost of 200 million US dollars, plus publicity fees, distribution fees, etc., probably have to 500 million US dollars can be returned.
500 million US dollars. Now there can be several films a year. One of "Gate of Heaven" was sold by Lianmei Film Company in bankruptcy. If "Titanic" has a Waterloo, there will be a problem under William Campbell's buttocks.
By the way, it is easy to lose money, but difficult to make money. After the playboy, you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year. However, if hundreds of millions of dollars are lost overnight, shareholders don't care whether William Campbell will die or not!
