For the movie "", Joshua is just an insignificant existence. Long Mayer, the president of Global Company who received the list of actors, naturally would not pay too much attention to a famous actor.

In fact, he only knows Vin Diesel on this list, and this is because "Extreme Cold" starring Vin Diesel is being released in theaters during this period. As Disney's first film to turn to the adult film market, major film companies are paying attention to it.

Of course, whether Universal is willing to invest in this movie depends mainly on Li Te's analysis of the prospects of the movie.

Litt did not directly tell Lang Mayer how much box office this movie would achieve, but only said that once the movie succeeds, it can lead to many sequels that are also popular. Then Lang Mayer agreed to the collaboration without hesitation.

There is more or less guilt about Li Te. Because when Li Te was controversial about the box office forecast of "Titanic", Global once doubted Li Te's vision, and when Li Te came to the door with "Red Flame Battlefield", Global refused that cooperation.

After the success of "Titanic", Long Mayer was worried that Litt would not continue to cooperate with Global again in the future, so he increased the investment budget of "The Matrix" by $100 million, while attending the premiere of "Meeting in Father-in-law" and various promotional activities. All of this was changing direction and showing goodwill to Litt.

This time Lite took the initiative to come to work with him. Moreover, "" is also a very good script. If Lang Meyer is still dragging on the slut when making a decision, it will not be cautious but stupid.

The two sides quickly finalized the details of the cooperation.

Because Li Te personally served as the film producer this time, Global Company not only had to pay 50 million yuan in production costs for the film, but also had to accept various conditions offered by Li Te in terms of sharing the film.

Although Lang Meyer felt a little painful, he still agreed.

After seeing Lit away, Long Mayer returned to the office and took out the assistant from the desk drawer, but he had not had time to take a closer look at the box office statistics for the last week of North American week.

Because he just decided to invest in "" starring Vin Diesel, when Long Mayer was watching this box office statistics, he subconsciously remembered another movie "Extreme Cold" starring Vin Diesel. That movie was released last Friday. The box office data for the first weekend should have come out.

Just as he was thinking about this, he followed Lang Meyer's eyes and saw the name of the movie written on the first column of the data statistics table.

It's actually "Extremely Deep Cold"!

Lang Meyer thought he was confused at first, but after a closer look, he found that it was correct that the movie was ranked first. When he looked along this line and saw a box office of 43 million, he was shocked again.

"Extreme Cold" actually won 43 million box office in the first weekend. Is another "Titanic" about to be born?

This thought flashed through Long Mayer's mind, but he immediately denied it himself.

Although Disney invested about $80 million in the movie "Extreme Cold", which does not include the advertising expenses in the later stages, it is obviously still a big gap with "Titanic". Moreover, this movie is just a horror film, and the theme is not as wide as that of "Titanic". Most importantly, "Titanic" has made Hollywood collectively misleading, and the same situation obviously will not happen to "Extreme Cold".

Pressing the surprise in his heart, Lang Meyer began to watch the box office statistics carefully, and then he found that the movie ranked second had a weekly box office of only more than 24 million, while the third place was even worse, only more than 18 million.

Lang Mayer did not continue to read. With years of experience, he could already determine that there were no heavyweight films in the United States last week, so "Extreme Cold" won such a high first weekend box office.

In addition, the media's evaluation of the trial of "Extreme Cold" some time ago was pretty good. I didn't encounter any strong opponents during the schedule, and the quality of the film itself was excellent, and it was reasonable to get such a high box office.

The doubts in his heart were resolved, but Lang Meyer was still a little unhappy.

"Extreme Cold" was able to win such a high box office in the first weekend, and it has become an indisputable fact that it earned hundreds of millions of box offices in North America when it ended its screening, and it is not impossible to even exceed 200 million.

Disney, which tasted the sweetness, will definitely not stop there. The already fierce competition of adult film market has a strong newcomer, and the market prospects are becoming increasingly unoptimistic.

In fact, Long Mayer's concerns are not unreasonable. After winning 45 million yuan in the second week of the release of "Extreme Cold", one thing Disney thought of was not to hold a celebration meeting for the film, but to Chairman Eisner personally came to find director Stephen Somos and directly discussed with him the shooting plan for the next film.

During a chat, Litt and Orwitz talked about this.

"Eisner was too impatient to do this. If I were Stephen Somos, I would definitely have an objection."

Orwitz smiled and said, "If I were Eisner, I'd probably be more anxious than that."

Lit asked the reason, and Orwitz's explanation was that Eisner's life was not easy during this period. Disney's business situation in the past year was not very ideal. In addition, Disney's board of directors has always wanted to rush Eisner to step down. The two things together have to bear a lot of pressure. In this case, the success of "Extreme Cold" is tantamount to a life-saving straw, and Eisner can only hold on to it.

"Then you don't have to be so anxious, right? Not to mention that Somos may not have any ideas about the next movie now. Even if he has it, it will take at least a year from the start of preparation to the completion of production, which will be of no use to Disney's overall situation."

Lite still disagrees with this, while Orwitz said it is normal.

"From what I know about Eisner, he will never wait that long, and the Disney board won't give him so much time, so he can't be in a hurry."

As the two of them chatted, the topic became a little far apart.

At this time, Fury knocked on the door and walked in, telling Li Te that a guest was visiting.

Lit stood up and said goodbye to Orwitz. When he left, he took away the cup of coffee that he had not finished. When he returned to his office, Fury took the guest in.

Li Te looked at the man walking in unexpectedly, with a very strange expression.

"Mr. Somos, why are you?"

Somos sat down at his desk and replied with a smile: "When Mr. Litt brought Vin Diesel to audition, he said that we will meet again in the future. Have you forgotten?"

Lit smiled and shook his head, "Strictly speaking, the cooperation between us has ended after the filming of "Extreme Cold". By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate Mr. Somos, the box office of this movie was even more successful than I expected."

"This is not my credit alone. To a large extent, without the help of Mr. Lite, the box office of this film might be different now, and I didn't see it alone. Many newspapers mentioned the performance of the two starring actors when evaluating this movie, and both of them were recommended to me."

Somos changed his arrogant attitude, which made Li Te a little uncomfortable. And Li Te knew very well that Somos's change in attitude could not be just because of the box office success of "Extreme Cold". There must be other reasons.

Sure enough, Somos then told Lit about his purpose.

"Mr. Eisner found me two days ago and hoped that I would start shooting the next movie immediately. Although I did have a good idea, Disney hoped that I could finish the movie within a year, which was impossible, unless I could minimize the preparation time for the movie. It was not easy to do this. First, it would take a lot of time to determine the role candidates, and then negotiate with their agents one by one. So I was thinking about whether there was a more efficient solution, such as the bundled movie plans implemented by Amg before."

"Since Mr. Somos has some understanding of the way we implement movie bundling, we should know that there is a very important prerequisite for implementing this strategy, that is, from directors to actors, we must be our people." Lit reminded.

"If I join amg, will this problem be solved?"

Somos's words made Lit brow raise.

"are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, but I have two conditions. First, this movie must work with Disney, and secondly, Amg must equip me with all the actors in this movie within a month."

"That's all?" Li Te asked subconsciously.

Somos thought about it and added: "The starring role of the film cannot be worse than "Extremely Cold"!"

"No problem, I can agree to all these, and it only takes half a month to help you with all the actors."

I heard people comment on Lite's arrogant arrogance before, but Somos still didn't believe it, but this time he had a thorough understanding.

"Don't you look at the script first before making a decision?"

"It's not too late to see now, and what I just said still works!"
