Hollywood Domination Chapter 117: The chemical reaction is very good

"I'm going to sue him." Jenny slammed the car door, "I'm going to sue him—I'm definitely going to sue him!"

Cesare followed into the car, "Jefferson --"

"Don't 'Jefferson' me," Jenny wiped her mouth again, "Where's your disinfectant spray? I'm going to have a test, if he dares to contagious. I'll die - you are dead, you actually left me alone with him -"

"Jefferson!" Cesare's tone was a bit helpless, "Don't be silly, as long as you don't have mouth ulcers, a kiss won't make you contagious."

"So he has an STD?" Jenny's rummaging through the glove box became more urgent, "I hate you, Vijay, you **** let him be alone, you know he- —”

"All I know is that I went upstairs to make a phone call. When I came down, you attacked his lower body. If I didn't stop it, it seemed that you wanted to cause further personal injury to him," Che Sare's rare tone was helpless, "What do I know? I know that you are an aggressive and dangerous person, and you still let him stay alone with you?"

"The reason why you are going upstairs to make a phone call is to give us a space to be alone!" Jenny raised her voice, "How dare you say otherwise!"

"Of course not," Cesare stopped the car and glared at her when the iron door slid open, "I'm calling Iger about it."

Jenny no longer has any sense of trust in his words. Just now Christopher's truth and falsehood made her very wary of Cesare, "So you didn't stay here on purpose, let him confirm that there is no chemistry between him and me. Reaction?——Is what he said true or false, has he slept with every one of his female co-stars?"

"What?" Cesare raised his voice, "What the **** did he say to you?"

"Very good," Jenny murmured, "It seems that this sentence is also false."

"I know he is interested in you." Cesare said while confirming the oncoming car on the mountain road, "He wanted to know you after watching "Pirates of the Caribbean", but you know, Christopher is in some The aspect is basically a—"

"Walk?" Jenny said sarcastically, "Yes, I know, of course I know now."

"And I'm sure you are not the kind of girl who likes to play around and have fun, and you certainly don't get along well, so I haven't introduced you to each other," Cesare said, "He never mentioned it again. , I thought this was a past topic - Christopher's interests have been shifting very quickly. I don't know why he took the opportunity to do this again after seeing you today, maybe he remembered the past on a whim, maybe it was you It piqued his interest, though to be fair it probably wouldn't have been offensive to Christopher, you know what he's been around for a long time.”

"Is he a little mentally ill?" Jenny asked, and she gradually calmed down. From a certain angle, she also understood Cesare's words. Like Villa Bu, the environment is very different from that of ordinary people. Since his girlfriend and her fiancé can't stop him, it probably doesn't matter to him to kiss directly when he feels that she has feelings too. "You know, the brain is a bit—"

"He just always knew what he wanted." Cesare sighed, "Isn't he weird? In the eyes of ordinary people, of course, by A-lister standards, average. But I don't think this is the spirit Obstacles, it's just that he's used to going straight to get what he wants, and he knows people will always forgive him in the end."

His mobile phone lit up, Cesare glanced at it, picked it up and handed it to Jenny, "You can see for yourself."

"Chemistry is great, take it," read Jenny, "I want to get in, call me in the morning and tell Jennifer: That was a great kiss, you know, don't deny it.— —Shit, this man is just annoying, you know what? Now I don't want to work with him, I'm going to call my lawyer."

"Jennifer." Cesare lowered his voice.

Jenny sighed, "Fine!" She understood Lilian's feeling a bit. "—Are you sure he doesn't have STD?"

"He is clean, and he will have a full physical examination every three months." Cesare said, "Since you and him are no longer strangers—Christopher never takes unprotected measures, Don't worry, okay?"

"I need to make sure that his performance of Roger meets my understanding and requirements." Jenny said, "An audition, under the supervision of David and Catherine - do you really think he can play Roger well?" ? He won’t go crazy halfway through the show, right?”

"He won't." Cesare replied patiently, "Performance is just as important to Christopher, everything will go smoothly, Jenny, isn't it great now? We can politely decline Eisner, you There's been a lot going on with Aigla as well - my mother is having a small party this weekend and Iger is supposed to come with his wife and I've made an agreement with my mother that I'll be with you Participate."

Jennie cut out Christopher's text message while listening to him, and when she came to the inbox, she glanced at the screen and confirmed that there was indeed a text message from Mrs. Vijay, the content was simply 'Callme' ——It seems that Cesare really went to contact this matter just now, instead of leaving her and Christopher alone.

Suddenly she was completely calm, no longer angry, and could look at the situation more objectively, "OK, then if there are no problems with the audition, we can prepare to sign the contract. What do you think about the salary, we need to bring Is the capital in?"

"With you and Christopher? Of course, this project will never lack investors," Cesare said. Co-financed production. I'm thinking, maybe we can give this film to Weinstein, you and Christopher will each pay a third of the production cost, Weinstein will pay a third, and the profit share will be negotiated carefully .”

"Is there any problem with Weinstein's distribution channels?" Jenny frowned, "After all, they haven't formally established a new company, right? Besides, didn't you just talk about a peaceful settlement with Eisner? I think Ai Snark would not necessarily be happy to see me work with Weinstein."

Now that she remembered Michael Eisner's resignation and decided to make a profit from it, Jenny must study Eisner's current situation—she always has to try to judge the past life from common sense Is it possible to happen in this life. So she knows that Harvey Weinstein is actually one of Eisner's troubles, except for the Ovitz incident that has been bothering Eisner (the lawsuit surrounding this incident has been ongoing), and some Disneyland revenues have been declining year by year In addition to these issues, Miramax of the Weinstein brothers and the parent company Disney have always had disagreements. Shortly after "Chicago" won the Oscar, because "Cold Mountain" invested too much, the investment of up to 80 million almost The scale of the films invested by Disney’s main company is comparable, and the opinions on the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11" cannot be reached. For many years, Disney has limited the scale of Miramax. The Weinstein brothers are determined to leave Disney. Copyright negotiations are underway to discuss the ownership of the Miramax trademark and film library,

Although they are talking about business, the dispute between Miramax and Disney has reached this point. It is impossible to say that Weinstein and Eisner like each other very much. Besides, Jenny did not see Weinstein The news that the Ernstein brothers decided to set up a new company, and handed over this film to their brothers, feels a bit uncertain. After all, for new companies, distribution channels always take a certain amount of time to perfect.

"The Weinstein brothers are just waiting for the outcome of the negotiation, they are already secretly preparing for a new company." Cesare replied, "I think it is enough for this film to be released domestically first, if Weinstein can't do it , the domestic distribution rights can be sold to Paramount, it doesn’t matter, what we need is the award-winning ability of the Weinstein brothers.”

Just as Jenny herself has secretly analyzed, just because you have money, golden fingers, and knowing that some films will be successful does not mean that you can invest in them casually. The total investment of "The Fifth Sally" is only five million. Which one, she or Christopher, can't cover the investment? But an award-winning film requires marketing and PR, so why should they do it for you if they don't give Weinstein a piece of the pie? This still does not need to be a literary film that is released simultaneously globally. If it is a blockbuster film with large investment and publicity, the global publicity and distribution channel is an unavoidable hurdle. When the final decision was made to release on February 14th, it was already January, and the global distribution could be completed within one month, and it would be released in February (of course, the countries with the strictest policies did not achieve synchronization. , but also uploaded in the fastest time), this is the background of Fox - this is just a release with a relatively simple procedure, and it is enough to get a few fixed links, and the global publicity is simply a nightmare. It is complicated, and the number of teams that can do a good job in global publicity is very large and very expensive. Unless it is a film company of the size of the six majors, it simply cannot afford it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't sell the distribution rights to the Big Six, but if you think about it with your ass, you know that children who are not biological are definitely not as favored as biological ones, so even if it is only a five million investment, it still has to be distributed One-third of the cake for the Weinstein brothers may even have to make some concessions in terms of the division of interests before the Weinstein brothers can do it. As for how to divide these interests, this is Cesare's business. He must be leading the negotiation—this is also an important reason why Jenny desperately hopes that he will join the partnership. If a senior manager hired by the employment system, how can he draw benefits from the big dream pocket as carefully as Cesare?

"Then, Eisner?" Jenny doesn't have much opinion on working for Weinstein, as long as Weinstein doesn't mind the flashbacks caused by Renee Zellweger.

"There is a fallacy in your thinking. For you, you need to distance yourself from Eisner and get closer to Iger, so you are afraid that Eisner will find out this and hate you and deal with you." Cesare "But to Eisner, you're just making decisions about your own career normally, 'The Fifth Sally' has David Fincher, it has Christopher Hanks, it has Kathleen Kennedy, you It’s normal not to want to miss this movie. As long as you don’t refuse him by insulting him, the possibility of Eisner’s anger is very small. As for who finances and distributes this movie, it’s Catherine’s choice, and you Nothing to do."

"You're right, I'm a bit guilty." Jenny laughed at herself, "Well, then the bottom line is to pay one-third each, after deducting publicity, public relations, producers, and directors. ?”

"It's the same as I think." Cesare said, "Weinstein may ask us to advance some cash, and I will take care of these details. ——Have you checked the form shown to you that day?"

"There are no projects that touch my intuition." Jenny replied, "I have watched all the movies you starred, and almost all of them are romantic comedies, school comedies, vulgar comedies... In short, they are all comedies, are you Do you want to start in the comedy market?"

"This is a type of film with a relatively low cost and potentially high profitability." Cesare replied, "With an investment of about 10 million yuan, several small companies jointly invest, and the distribution rights are sold to large companies. It’s not high, you can diversify your investment, and invest around two to three million in one, what do you think?”

"I have no opinion, but since we have far more than 10 million in our account, maybe we can increase the investment amount for each movie..." Jenny quickly put Christopher behind her, and discussed with Cesare. Her current true love: Da Meng.

I have to say that any exposure will definitely bring economic benefits. It is just a scandal that lasts only one day, and it has also brought a certain amount of box office revenue to "Prada". The original decline has slowed down, probably estimated , This scandal is worth about 2 million. According to the current box office curve and global performance, it should be no problem for "Prada" to reach 450 million in global box office revenue, 200 million in North America and 250 million overseas, so investment income is not included. In terms of salary alone, Jenny should be able to get back 18 million in share income (North American box office/2*10%+overseas box office/3*10%), while Dameng will earn about 40 million, and there will be DVD sales in the future, etc. All kinds of copyright income are recorded in the account, but these are long-term income. What she can get in the near future is the "Lian Lian Notebook" share that is finally coming to the account from New Line, 10 million, and the 5 million promised to Cesare After repaying it, I will repay half of the bank loan of 10 million yuan, and some "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" will be divided into one after another to fill the daily expenses. At present, I am still relatively poor. If I want to buy a luxury house like Christopher, I still need to continue to struggle for a long time .

After the initial investment plan is set, a timetable will be set for subsequent negotiations and personnel recruitment. After all, Jenny, as the leader of the public, still has to come forward. By the time everything is settled, it will be too late. Jenny will be on the "Oprah Show" the next day, so she has to go to bed early, and she has no time to exercise (she does not exercise two hours before going to bed to avoid insomnia), so Jenny simply comes to the home she rarely uses after washing In the theater, the projector was operated and a copy of "Thrilling Lover" was released. She wondered now what Christopher would look like on screen—hopefully not as crazy as he was in real life.

This is a film from 1998. Christopher was about 21 years old at the time. This film is somewhat similar to "Top Gun". It is a male-dominated commercial blockbuster. There is nothing worth noting about the plot. After all, it is a few years old. The previous films, shooting techniques and special effects are a bit outdated now. However, Christopher's image in the film surprised Jenny a little: wheat-colored skin, slender and strong figure, shy smile and lingering emotional scenes... Although he gave her the impression of being mentally unstable, he was in the film. It is a very traditional masculinity, a calm image of the male lead, and a **** scene with the female lead. The scene is full of male hormones, and people can't help but feel admiration after watching it-male stars, for male audiences Selling masculinity, 'I want to be him' is selling hormones to a female audience, 'I want to be with him'.

This kind of film is mass-produced every year. Although the box office performance of "Thrilling Lover" is very impressive, the film itself is not too outstanding. The more Jenny watches it, the more she feels that the reason why this film is so popular It's because they cast Christopher to star. Darwin, the leading actor he plays, has the same eye-catching temperament as Andy in "Prada" and Jack in "Titanic". If you want to say where the performance is good, the audience may not be able to tell, but they are willing to put their eyes on it. In this role, I am willing to resonate with him and be fascinated by him.

Out of curiosity, she watched several of Christopher's films again. After "Thrilling Lover" became famous in one fell swoop, he acted in several blockbuster films, including action films, comedies and romance films he is good at. The comedy film also earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy - Jenny found that many of his characters have one thing in common, which is eye-catching and charming. It seems that no matter how casual Christopher's appearance is, as long as his smile With his eyes there, the audience can be attracted by his performance, but with such a strong personal charm, no one really cares about his acting skills. At least Jenny doesn't care about it. Of course, it's mainly because he acts in commercial films. For countless people who have watched the film, it is easy to guess the plot. Compared with Christopher's emotions, he is more attractive. Some strength.

Male vase... This is probably Leonardo's trouble, too handsome appearance and too strong personal charm have become obstacles to their development, "Titanic" and "Total Eclipse of Love" are all In this way, it is enough for the audience to just look at his youthful demeanor, but this kind of beauty interferes with the plot. So Leonardo kept making himself rough in the later stage, and Christopher took over movies like "The Fifth Sally" that needed to be ugly. However, Leonardo has always been very ambitious to win awards. He almost only acts in top-level feature films, while Christopher is more pragmatic. Several commercial films of different types have made him a lot of money. Not to mention, the acting path is also wide , his nationality is enough for him to throw away a few big productions and he will have a chance again, and as long as he continues to take on blockbusters, there will be too many opportunities for art films... The different career choices of the two should be due to The managers are different, Christopher obviously listens to Cesare, what does this mean? Beneath his spoiled, moody surface, he's actually pretty shrewd? He knows what he needs and how to get it, when he can act willfully and when he should cooperate rationally...

Recognizing that she has begun to dig into Christopher's character, Jenny smiled self-deprecatingly: Well, it cannot be denied that Christopher aroused her interest, but this attraction cannot be said to be purely from his flesh/body. Or wealth, it should be Christopher's character that she finds very interesting, he is like a colorful prism, just meeting him once is not enough for her to understand the real him.

However, in any case, her schedule in 2005 is still very full. "The Fifth Sally" is also a movie that is expected to be exhausting. It was another matter to study someone who had nothing to do with her. Jenny stood up and was about to go back to sleep. Her biological clock has always been quite fragile and needs careful care, otherwise she might have dark circles under her eyes the next day.

She took one last look at the screen. Christopher was standing with his legs crossed in the sun, taking off his shirt, his smile bright and his green eyes gleaming happily in the hot sun.

It is undeniable that with such a smile embellished, he looks really pretty.

The author has something to say: Note: 1 I said before that Christopher is fictional, and all the films he has acted in are fictional things. It is said in the notes, why do some readers still go to Baidu? ...

2 It is true that the Weinstein brothers left Disney at this time, and the entire dispute between Weinstein and Disney is true. In the end, Disney spent 1.3E to buy out the film library and name of Miramax, and the Weinstein brothers left to create Weinstein Films.
