I’m in Hollywood Chapter 81: Sincerely

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

There is no doubt that the biggest benefit from Actor is Julia · Roberts. With the continuous release of 《Pretty Woman》, Julia feels that he has broken into an unprecedented world. In the new world, everyone is so kind to her Respect and humility, courtesy, treat her as a princess.

When ABC recorded a talk show, the entire production team was around her. For every detail of the recording process, the program Director seriously asked her opinions.

At the same time, well-paid movie contracts, advertising contracts, endorsements, and other invitations have come in tandem. With the release of the Box Office in the first weekend, her film fees have risen directly to 5 million USD, a figure that many male stars have missed.

Al · Pacino also completely got rid of the shadow of the failure four years ago. The whole person became energetic, and friends in some circles who had not contacted for a long time suddenly appeared recently, and party party one by one.

Of course, when someone is proud, someone is frustrated. Richard · Gere, which has started to cooperate with United Artists to promote the new work "Road House", is undoubtedly the most lost one. Before his manager, he spoke highly of the project "Road House", and at the same time devalued Eric's new film for nothing. Although Richard · Gere knows the reason why he did this for manager, he feels that he has rejected the invitation of Eric and can sell Michael · Ovitz for a favor. So I chose "Road House".

If 《Pretty Woman》 does not have such a huge success, even if it is just a small explosion of Box Office, Richard · Gere will not feel too much, but unfortunately 《Pretty Woman》 has succeeded, and it is a great success, the first week of income is worth a lot The total Box Office of the movie. Seeing these Richard · Gere is hard to calm down.

This kind of indifference made him forget that giving up 《Pretty Woman》 is more of his own choice. If the artist himself insists on accepting a film appointment, although Caa will wear small shoes for it later, it can't forcefully stop the behavior of Actor. But Richard · Gere naturally blamed all errors on CAA. He felt that he had become a victim of Michael · Ovitz playing with personal power.

Coca Cola is located in Atlanta's Headquarters, and a conference that is crucial to Columbia is being held.

At this time, Coca Cola Chairman Guo Sida held some materials of the two movies "Home Alone" and 《Pretty Woman》, and one item of geology asked the first Columbia Chairman Blunt · Cohen.

"This is your first mistake for the gambling agreement. Of course, with the income of" Home Alone ", the stock price of Columbia has risen from the previous 12USD to the current 14USD. This mistake can be regarded as a good balance."

Guo Sida finished, changed another document, and then said: "But then, your wrong behavior directly led to the conversion of Eric Williams to Fox. According to the agency's prediction, North America Box Office of 《Pretty Woman》 may reach 200 million USD, and overseas Box Office may exceed North America 50% of the local, pure Box Office income can bring at least 80 million USD profits for Fox, these should be Columbia. "

Blunt · Cohen did not dare to refute a sentence, quietly waiting for the final decision of Coca Cola Board of Directors, in fact, he already knew his results before. Film Studio executives look beautiful, but few people know the huge pressure behind them.

Every investment of tens of millions of USD, every time the movie is released, it will bring about changes in the high-level. Some people have been directly involved because of huge losses, and they have since collapsed. Some people were suddenly promoted to high positions and enjoyed more power and benefits because of the success of the project. Of course, they continued to be frightened by the next project.

Blunt · Cohen also knows that Eric Williams is only an inducement, or an excuse, for being faced with blame. The most important thing is that he himself is against Coca Cola selling Columbia to Japanese.

According to information disclosed by some channels, Coca Cola Board of Directors has officially decided to open acquisition negotiations with Japan Sony. In this case, it doesn't matter whether he changes Chairman or not, anyway, it will be sold to Japanese soon.

But in order to keep his position, he contacted many people and wanted to boycott the deal. This kind of thing must not be concealed from the Coca Cola executives. Once it succeeds, no one will say anything. But after failure, we must face the bitter consequences of failure.

"... So, I am now officially announcing the Board of Directors resolution to dismiss the position of Blunt · Mr. Cohen Columbia-TriStar Film Industry Group Chairman with immediate effect."

Guo Sida read the Board of Directors resolution and discussed some other topics before announcing the adjournment. Of course, Blunt · Cohen, as Chairman, was still kept some decent, and was not escorted back by the security guard to Los Angeles Columbia Headquarters to pack up.

Blunt · Cohen left sadly, but Guo Sida did not leave, but came to another reception room.

"Hello Mr. Guo Sida." Pushing the door open, the woman who was originally sitting on the sofa stood up and greeted enthusiastically.

Guo Sida shook hands with each other and smiled: "Let you wait a long time, Amy."

"It doesn't matter, I've just arrived."

This woman is the Amy · Pascal who left Columbia angrily not long ago.

"My assistant told me what I meant before, Amy, what do you think?"

Amy · Pascal asked: "Mr. Guo Sida, I do n’t think I need to return to Columbia anymore. Although I resigned, I still heard some news that Columbia is going to be sold to Sony. , What am I going to do, wait a few months, and be laid off again? "

"Of course not, Amy, you are a very talented professional Manager person, even if Japanese takes over Columbia, I dare not make too much high-level changes. I have learned how you left Columbia, if Blunt · Cohen listened to your opinion, there will be no agreement to make Columbia lose tens of millions of profits. After that, there will be no Eric Williams to Fox. "

Amy · Pascal said: "Mr. Guo Sida, it does n’t make any sense to say this now. I would like to know more about the real reason why you let me return to Columbia."

Guo Sida glanced at Amy and said, "Amy, do you know Eric Williams, right?"

Sure enough!

Amy · Pascal confirmed the guess in his heart and nodded: "Yes, but there are only a few sides, maybe Eric will not remember me now."

"Oh, how is it possible, if not for your help, how could there be the Box Office miracle of" Home Alone "?"

Although Amy · Pascal did not get any benefit from it, it even lost the job. But Guo Sida mentioned this, she was still a little proud.

"Mr. Guo Sida, if you want me to persuade Eric Williams to switch to Columbia, this is unlikely. Everyone knows that Eric has signed three film contracts with Fox this year. By the next year, Columbia will be in the hands of Sony."

Guo Sida shook his head and said: "Of course not, I have also known that contract. In fact, the contract is not too strict, because Fox originally wanted to get the second part distribution right of" Home Alone ", so there is no prohibition on Eric Williams and During the Fox cooperation, we will cooperate with other Film Studios. After starting negotiations with Sony, Columbia needs some good news to stimulate the stock price, such as ... a big-selling movie. "

"But ..."

"Relax, Amy, I know some of your concerns. In order to be able to successfully cooperate with Eric Williams, Board of Directors has released the position of Blunt · Cohen Columbia Chairman."

Amy · Pascal said in surprise: "Really?"

Guo Sida nodded: "Of course, otherwise, with the connections of Blunt · Cohen, Board of Directors is also reluctant to make a big deal. Anyway, he ca n’t sit in that position for too long. You can use this when you are in contact with Eric Williams The matter was revealed to show our sincerity. "

Amy · Pascal thought of another question: "I think that the Eric Williams shoots movie is fast, but three films a year should be considered the limit? If there are more, how can the quality be guaranteed?"

"We will put his new movie in the summer file. With his current reputation, as long as the movie is not too bad, getting 100 million USD Box Office in the summer file is not a big problem. And ..." Guo Sida lowered his voice slightly: "I We will give enough budget for the second part movie of Fox. We can even find someone to shoot it for him. He just needs to concentrate on making the movie for us. "

Amy · Pascal hesitated for a while, but nodded: "I will try my best."
