Chapter 333: Lucas regretted it

Cameron has been secretly observing William White and constantly paying attention to other guests, and today's internal screening can be regarded as a test of his work this year.

Lucas was very depressed, a director he didn't care much about actually made a movie of this calibre.

Hollywood is very bizarre, Paris directors look down on London, and London directors don't look down on the United States. The directors in these three places don't look down on them, and they are the kind of monks who are halfway home.

Coincidentally, this guy named James Cameron is at the bottom of the chain of contempt. You're just driving a truck, and it's ridiculous that you don't hurry up and drive your truck, and you actually want to come over to make a movie.

As for why White Pictures asked him to make a movie?

Well, there's no way to say this, William White is a wonder. It's not so much that his style of employing people is alternative, but that he is reckless.

Now the popular singer is a drama actor. That red, purple-haired beauty is just a beauty pageant champion. This time the movie is even more outrageous, and the bodybuilding champion is the male number one.

It's just that Lucas looked at the movie screen, and his mind began to wander again. In his opinion, this so-called robot of Mu Ne is really only suitable for this kind of rubber face. If you're so good at acting, is this still a robot?

The lights in the screening room were gradually turned on, and the bigwigs, who were still a little confused, stood up and applauded, they had to admit that this was a very good movie.

"William, I regret it, I should have invested in this movie. ”

William White shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lucas, this is a series of movies, Cameron is not only the director, but also the script, according to his ideas, there will be at least five, you have a chance." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to him, damn it, it's a different story from that piranha. ”

"Haha, haha, Lucas, it's useless for you to cooperate with Spielberg to make piranhas, it's a big bad movie, no director has the ability to shoot it. In fact, it was possible to finish the film. I didn't get sick to death, it was not easy. ”

Lucas was speechless, he would not know the importance of the script. If you write this movie, he will lick his face and invest it anyway. It's just that who knows if this product can really be.

"You know? Lucas, this movie has a connection with you. ”

"Well, how I don't know. ”

"Hahaha, after watching your Star Wars, Cameron came home with a fever, and in a daze, this plot appeared in his mind, you said, is this related to you. ”

"Shet, if you had said that earlier, I would have voted a little bit of it. ”

"Cut, you know, before this, he couldn't even raise five million dollars for the shooting. And I am willing to give him 20 million to fulfill his dream. Otherwise, Lucas, I'll shoot a few of your Star Wars films. ”

"Star Wars? ”

"Ha, you mean the acquisition? I don't understand, aren't you and Spielberg going to start a company? It's better to buy Fox directly. ”

Lucas was speechless, ya, if I had so much money from you, of course I would know about buying Fox.

"I heard that it's not expensive, less than 400 million. You guys can get together, but if you can't do it, I'll also take shares. ”

"Cut, don't talk nonsense, I heard that your acquisition of Fox TV was not approved, and it is even more impossible to acquire it together. Besides, the current price has long been more than 400 million. I said, you are deliberately blocking the people of Tuao, right?"

Not to mention how the two guys gloat, Murdoch is indeed a pain. With William White's offer, Fox's shareholders certainly feel that they have suffered a loss, and it is normal to seek a better price.

"James, hurry up and arrange dubbing in other languages, the time is very tight, you creators, immediately formulate a publicity strategy. ”

"Okay, boss, I'll make a plan right away. ”

"Check in with Barry Diller, see what he's slotting over, edit out some tidbits, and put on a talk show. ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch in the afternoon. ”

William White is very happy, and now this terminator has arranged a lot of pits in advance, so it is much easier to arrange a sequel. Not only can you shoot a sequel directly, but you can also shoot a side story, it's all a small amount of money!

Speaking of today's Twentieth Century Fox, the unlucky ones who fell before the dawn are talking about it. The country's economy has begun to recover, and some smaller film companies have begun to make profits. It's just that some giants are starting to be a little unbearable.

The hardest part of life is naturally Fox, this guy can't hold on anymore. MGM is also a little unbearable, but this guy swallowed Lianyi. Even if you can encourage it, you can maintain it.

Faced with this situation, William White was also helpless. Picking up Lucas to buy Fox is actually a joke, and people are not that stupid. What is Fox worth 400 million US dollars, according to Lucas's idea, if it is a little more than 100 million, he can also consider it.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing to have a big stall, especially in a bad year.

Murdoch, who has been put on the table, is still likely to buy Fox, William White is not sure. But one thing is really clear, this guy is bound to fall into a serious financial crisis.

There are already three major TV networks, and one more would obviously ruin the current situation.

Even if this guy can't steal his ratings, it will cause him a lot of trouble. If this guy's market share is grabbed from the other two, then NBC, which is a standout, will immediately become a threat in the eyes of many people.

"Boss, Tuao agreed. ”

"Hehe, this old fellow, is Fox really that worth buying?"

"You can't be confused, right?"

"What is there for him to be angry about? William White can't buy it. ”

"Ministry of Justice, is this going to fight this immortal?"

"Hehe, God knows what this guy is going to do, anyway, there's a lot of fun. ”

In fact, the Justice Department is experiencing a crisis of confidence. Many people who eat melons began to doubt their motives.

They really don't understand, can it be said that it is wrong for TV stations to have good programs? It is not right for a movie to be made well, and they should go to watch that kind of big bad movie, because the company that makes a good movie has a monopoly.

Is our country run by idiots?

The people of the United States are angry, is this White Pictures monopolizing the theater chain or the actors?

Didn't you?

Public opinion quickly turned to conspiracy theories, and since there were no victims, it was up to them to find beneficiaries.

As a result, the image of a Tuao villain appeared.

Having vetoed the NBC takeover, the Justice Department certainly takes the change of course seriously. Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, public opinion actually began to blame one side at a time.

It's true that NBC is strong, and the other two are not too weak, right?

As for the film company?

Please, it's a new company, well, there aren't a few movies in a year.

What is your Ministry of Justice doing here? Are you going to be involved in managing the day-to-day affairs of the company?
