Whether it is Alex Goodrich, the state government of Michigan, or the federal government, they all know that Chen Geng is blackmailing!

But in the face of Chen Geng's blackmail, no one dared to remain indifferent, not even the president of the United States......

"This is blackmail!" In the president's office in the White House, Mr. President was angry and kept scolding his mother.

"Yes sir, this is blackmail," Mr. President's special affairs assistant Wilson said helplessly, "but the reason why this bastard dares to blackmail you is that he directly holds five or six hundred thousand votes in his hands, and indirectly affects the number of votes......

"I know, I know," Mr. President sighed when he heard his special affairs assistant say this, and he sighed: "Wilson, I know that this is not just a matter of five or six hundred thousand votes, once it is not handled well, it will immediately become the target of those bastards attacking him, I understand this, I know that I am just a little unwilling......"

“......”

As Mr. President's Assistant to Special Affairs, his job is to coordinate Mr. President's handling of daily affairs, such as the upcoming term of office.

There is a good saying that a president who does not want to be re-elected is not a good president, but for Mr. President, who is about to change next year, the situation he is facing in the general election is not very good, relying on the support of the oil and military industrial complex, that bastard of Bush is now a little aggressive, and once this matter is not handled well, Mr. Assistant Special Affairs believes that the other party will not let go of this opportunity.

"In other words, we can only accept this bastard's blackmail?" said Mr. President extremely unwillingly.

In fact, if Chen Geng is a white man, then the problem is not very big, and the US government has given less subsidies to these large enterprises over the years? But in view of Chen Geng's skin color, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

"You can't say that, Mr. President, we are an elected government, we must be accountable to the voters, we must ensure that our people have food and jobs," said the special affairs assistant, who perfectly interpreted what it means to be an official with two mouths: "Maybe this is an opportunity for us?"

"Huh?" Hearing his special affairs assistant say that this was an opportunity, Mr. President's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wilson, what do you say?"

"As the President of the United States, you care about the lives of all Americans, and although Christmas is still more than half a year away, I am sure you will be very sad if there is not a single turkey on the table of the workers of AMC at Christmas......

That's right!

Knowing what his special affairs assistant meant, Mr. President's eyes lit up suddenly, and he happily patted the other party's shoulder: "Wilson, you're right, just do it." ”

Under the slogan "for the people", no matter what you do, you can link it with the words "political correctness" and with the ballot.

........................

When the state government and the federal government of Michigan had a headache for Chen Geng's blackmail, Chen Geng's mood was very happy: after such a long time of warm-up and publicity, "The Bodyguard" starring Karen Carpenter is finally about to be released, and it is a global release.

The number of screens for the release of "Bodyguard" in the United States is as high as 4,300, more than 1,000 more than the 3,300 previously negotiated with Twentieth Century Fox, and the number of screens worldwide exceeds 9,000.

This is a proper treatment that only super blockbusters have.

This situation will occur, of course, not because of the kindness of Twentieth Century Fox, in the final analysis, it is the interests that play a role in it: after the major theaters tried out the movie "Bodyguard", they thought that this movie could make a lot of money, so they spontaneously adjusted the number of screens released: the movies that can make money, of course, should be more scheduled.

Twentieth Century Fox is also the world's top film production and distribution company, and under their series of combined offensives, "Bodyguard" has achieved a box office of more than $27 million in North America, more than $19 million overseas, and a cumulative global box office of more than $46 million in just three days.

As soon as this box office result came out, not only Chen Geng was frightened, but even the twentieth Century Fox Company was frightened: the box office in just three days was equivalent to the total box office of a big-budget movie...... This movie without the participation of big-name movie stars, the box office is going against the sky!

Twentieth Century Fox reacted quickly enough to make a quick decision and once again increase its investment in propaganda.

As a result, by the end of its first week of release, it had grossed more than $105 million worldwide!

The first-week box office exceeded $100 million!

As soon as this number came out, the 20th Century Fox Company suddenly exploded, and the gold mine was properly dug up!

The media in the United States also blew up: there is so much to write about "The Bodyguard" and the hero and heroine of this film.

Heroine Karen M. Carpenter, from an ordinary little girl to the hottest singing group in the United States, has even been recognized by the President of the United States, and has almost become a representative of the young generation in the United States, but as if overnight, they were abandoned by a new generation of young people in the United States, confused and unable to find the direction, but in this case, they did not give up on themselves, let alone lie on the credit book of the past like many predecessors, and resolutely chose the transformation like a butterfly, and there is no doubt that she succeeded, this singer who was about to become a first-line midstream, instantly became the hottest song and shadow amphibious superstar in the United States and even the world！

And the actor Bruce Willis, a young man who insisted on his acting dream by working in restaurants and Broadway, finally waited for an opportunity to soar after several years of tempering and perseverance, and became the hottest young man in Hollywood with his wonderful performance in "Bodyguard......

There is no more inspirational story than this one, which better fits the definition of the "American Dream."

"Don't thank me, really don't," facing Karen Carpenter, who specially called to express his gratitude, Chen Geng said with a smile: "You know, you deserve all this." ”

It was probably a few years of low tide, which made Karen Carpenter think and precipitate enough things, she did not flutter because of the success of a movie, forgetting how she succeeded, in the face of Chen Geng's words, her tone became more and more respectful: "No, Mr. Fernandez, I know very well that all this was given to me by you, without the good script you provided and your consistent support for me, there would be no Karen Carpenter now." ”

I have seen a lot of celebrities who "pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother", Karen Carpenter can say this, Chen Geng has a kind of "I didn't help the wrong person", she smiled and said: "That's also the result of your efforts...... I heard that you are going to continue to run propaganda in the future?"

"yes," Karen Carpenter's tone was inevitably tired, "Sometimes you have to run several places a day, and you have to interact with the audience, and the event is very tight...... It's just too tired......"

Chen Geng smiled: "It's normal to be tired, make money, how can it be so easy," after a short pause, Chen Geng said: "In this way, I will lend you my plane for the time being, and you can sleep on the plane for a while." ”

Lest Chen Geng think that the purpose of his call was to borrow a plane from him, Karen Carpenter hurriedly explained: "Mr. Fernandez, I didn't mean that......"

"I know you don't mean that, don't forget, I'm an investor in this movie, and you're helping me make money," Chen Geng said with a smile: "That's it...... By the way, you tell the crew, just say that after this movie is released and all the payments are settled, I will take out 10% of the net profit attributable to me and give everyone a red envelope. ”

Mr. Fernández took out 10% of the net profit attributable to him and gave everyone a red envelope?!

Karen Carpenter is scared!

After a week of publicity, she listened to the box office estimates of "Bodyguard" from other crew members and the entourage of Twentieth Century Fox, although everyone's estimates were different, but there was one thing that everyone agreed on, that is, the global box office of "Bodyguard" will definitely reach $300 million.

Even if you don't count the profits from the release of videotapes, soundtracks and peripherals, only counting the share of the global box office of these 300 million US dollars, Mr. Fernandez can net at least 70 million through this movie!

10% of 70 million, that's 7 million, Mr. Fernandez wants to take 7 million US dollars to give everyone red envelopes?! You know, the total production cost of this movie is only less than 7 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the boss re-sending his salary!

"What's the matter, do you think it's less?" Chen Geng said with a smile when there was no movement on the other end of the phone.

"No...... No," Karen Carpenter, who was almost stunned by the news, reacted and hurriedly said, "Sir, this ...... Too much......"

The contract says how much is as much as it is, this has always been a Hollywood "tradition", even if the movie performs well after its release, the film company may give a red envelope to the main actors, but it definitely didn't say that another amount of money equivalent to the production cost will be given to everyone to give a red envelope, Karen Carpenter was really scared.

"Not much," Chen Geng said with a smile: "I just want people to know that as long as you follow me well, I eat meat, and everyone will drink a mouthful of soup...... Karen, don't forget, after the release of "Bodyguard", your brother's "Ghost Love" will also start official production. ”

In the last remark, what Chen Geng said was meaningful.

Karen Carpenter suddenly realized.
