Chapter 1666 Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!
There is no shortage of large pieces of origin in 2009, but there are too many big fish and meat, which makes it easy to eat side effects.
The main films of Universal originally prepared for the summer season, such as the main films "Public Enemy", "Funny Character", "Lost Continent" and "Fallen Hell", were all rejected by Andy, and were scattered in other months, avoiding the crazy summer season.
Although the starring cast of "Public Enemy No. 1" is not worse than other big productions, Depp, Marion, Christian Bale, and three big names gathered together to perform an epic gangster legend, it is definitely interesting, but when it comes to the summer season where special effects productions are crowded, it is probably difficult to get rid of the fate of being surrounded and unlucky cannon fodder.
"...Do you know, even I have heard that the biggest anecdote in Hollywood today is that there are people who invest in Eddie Murphy's films!"
Although Andy was very calm, the ridicule in his tone still made the former Universal Pictures executives blush and feel uncomfortable.
"Think about how tragic the box office of the "Dave" last year was. However, Paramount did not believe in evil and took out 55 million to bet Murphy could bottom out. As a result, "Fantasy Land" repeated the mistakes of "Dave" and the situation was slightly better, with a box office of 16.12 million, which was more than 4 million more than the latter.
And you gave him $100 million to make him film "The Lost Continent". Can anyone tell me, can we recover the cost?"
Although this was the investment of Universal Pictures before the acquisition, the blame has fallen into Andy's hands, so how could he be happy?
"I don't care what method you use, whether it's re-editing or making promotional money, I hope at least get the cost back. In the future, such directors or actors who are obviously huge pitfalls, I hope you should be cautious when making a choice. You can bet on a small cost, and the production cost of more than 100 million US dollars is not called a bet!"
When Andy said this, she looked at Adam Ferguson, the chairman of Universal Pictures. To be honest, Adam Ferguson's ability is really average. It is not much better to say that he is mediocre. However, what Andy needs now is stability, stability and excessiveness within Universal Pictures, rather than turmoil, so, coupled with the premise of his quick surrender, Andy will let him take over as the chairman of Universal Pictures.
Although Adam Ferguson felt bitter in his heart, he could only take over the blame and slowly figure out a solution. Besides, he might not really lose money. What if he counterattacks...
Andy ignored Adam who was still thinking about counterattacking and turned his attention to the former Peak Entertainment Ceo, and now Robert Freman, who is currently the president of Universal Pictures Ceo.
"We should pay more attention to the two dramas of Hangover and Warm Rugby. It is best to complete the production of "Hangover" before June and use it to snipe the summer season with "Superman".
"I understand." Robert Ferreman, who was familiar with the way he got along with the young boss, nodded without hesitation.
"Then the plan to establish a Universal Pictures office in the Celestial Dynasty should also be launched as soon as possible. The personnel from the Celestial Dynasty have already been in place, and the headquarters will send people there as soon as possible. Remember, in the Celestial Dynasty, the local team is the leader. This team not only needs to bring our movies to the Celestial Dynasty, but also help us discover local themes and invest, produce, and perform co-production."
Andy's tilt to the Celestial Market is no longer a secret within the world, and the Celestial Films quota is only 20 each year. Whether it is the six major Hollywood films or other countries' imported films, it is subject to this amount to enter the Celestial Market.
Universal Pictures settled in the Celestial Empire. Although it does not have any "privileges" in film promotion, it is definitely the most important measure among the six major Hollywood moves. Whether from the macro perspective of strategic layout, or from the specific implementation of media contacts, new media operations, etc., it is very forward-looking.
Especially Andy understands more than anyone else that many things in the Celestial Empire are very big. (Since the release of external films is more complicated and more so, I won’t discuss related issues.)
Anyway, in order to make the world's second largest stock store, Andy decided to spare no effort to open up this market. Disney can build an amusement park in the Magic City, and his Universal Studios can also be built in the capital, especially when he knows that the land in the capital will become more and more valuable.
An important plan this year is to come back to the Heavenly Kingdom and talk to relevant parties.
After the meeting, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Andy walked out of Universal Pictures headquarters, got into the car, checked the message sent by Sehuang, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the seaside of Long Beach, Charlize, with sunglasses blown by the sea breeze, was wearing comfortable black cropped pants and hoodie, holding little Laura in a cartoon one-piece suit with one hand, and was chatting and laughing with the bodyguard beside him.
Little Laura discovered a new world, with her big watery eyes wide open, constantly turning her head and looking at the scenery around her.
I have to say that there are too few women who are more mature and more beautiful as they are. Theron is definitely one. The temperament bonus should not be too great in recent years. Having said that, temperament comes from the heart and comes from living clearly. Holding a woman in the left hand and holding a small Laura product bag in the right hand will definitely make you live more and more exciting.
Charlize saw the black convoy coming from a distance, his eyes flashed under his sunglasses, and the corners of his mouth that had just been raised quickly retracted, causing the smile to dissipate.
The convoy parked on the side of the road where she was standing, and the black SUV door was pushed open from inside. The emperor saw that the carriage was waving to her and Little Laura, but Andy, who didn't get off the car, couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Coward!"
Just cowards, and Andy doesn't want to be photographed with a photo of the "family three". It was about Hong Guoguo's slapping Ivana in the face. This will only make things worse and destroy the tacit understanding, but she will never go back.
Charlize, holding Andy, began to struggle constantly in her arms, giggling, stretching out his little hand, and calling out "papa" in a confused manner.
Andy smiled and reached out to take the little Laura who was constantly jumping in the car seat, and began to kiss her on her face.
"Ahhhh--"
The little Laura, who was rubbed by Andy's nose, kept giggling, opened her teeth-free mouth and shook her head and bit her nose, making her saliva all over her.
"Bang!"
Emperor Sai got into the car, after the door was closed, he took off his sunglasses, glanced at Andy with an unpleasant face, and sneered: "I thought you forgot both of us!"
"Haha, how could it be? My little Laura is my little baby. No one can forget her...Oh."
He was holding little Laura and kissing Andy, who was not enough, and there was a piercing pain in his waist. He screamed. He was reaching out his little hand and holding Andy's hair. Little Laura looked at Andy, blinking his big eyes, his mouth became sagging, and he was about to cry. Andy hurriedly began to make a face.
“Geeh…”
The little Laura, who was holding her mouth, smiled again. Andy breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the silly emperor who was as calm as if he was alive, and said with a shameless face: "And my big baby, I will never forget it."
"ha--"
Charlize sneered, showing the queen's contempt expression, and said sarcastically: "You have too many sugars, right?"
To be honest, Andy, you really refreshed my understanding of you. I never thought that you wouldn't even let Sophie Marceau go!
Haha, sure enough, you really have a special way of liking your so-called goddess, and you are really unhappy..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense in front of the child!"
Andy's mouth twitched a few times, and little Laura, who heard his mother's sneer, turned her head and looked at Charlize curiously. Seeing this, Andy immediately lowered her voice to stop Charlize from sarcastic sarcasm on her head.
"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 could it be..." Andy looked at Charlize with a contempt expression, smiled and shook his head, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, this is the fact."
"You are so shameless!" After hearing Andy's words, Charlize was angry and gritted his teeth and whispered.
Chapter completed!
