Chapter 85 VS The Man Behind It

Nancy waited until John finished reading the box office data of "Stealing Love", and then said to John: "John! ”

Since "Stealing Love" broke 100 million and John became the youngest member of Hollywood's 100 million yuan club, these media have come to the door, hoping to get some exclusive news from John.

"Help me say no, just say I don't give any interviews. "John, as a director, can go out and make announcements for the film, but other times he can meet in person. Because as a member of the Morgan family, although he uses a pseudonym, he must also try to keep a low profile.

"All of them rejected?" Nancy's blue eyes widened when she heard John's words. In Hollywood, a vanity fair, who doesn't want to be in the spotlight and be covered by the media. John was now going to do the opposite, which simply turned her long-held notion on its head.

"Yes! John affirmed, without thinking.

"John!" If we refuse the media like this, we will offend them, so why don't we just accept interviews with a few big media outlets, such as "Vanity Fair" or "The New Yorker" Nancy wants to persuade John that it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the media in the entertainment industry, otherwise the pen in the hands of the media will definitely give people a headache.

"No!" John refused again. As a director, you have to use your work to speak, not to use scandals and gossip to increase exposure and increase popularity like those idol stars. ”

"But ......"

"Whether or not I will offend the media will never be on my radar," John interrupted Nancy without waiting for Nancy to finish. He misses Dani a little, and if it was Dani today, he wouldn't have to explain it so hard.

And for Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, John would not even think about offending them, because they were his own.

In 1983, John egged Archie to buy Condé Nast for him, so he was the author of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue...... and other famous magazines.

John asked Archie to buy Condé Nast because he wanted to get Condé Nast Vogue, and why did he want to get Vogue? It all started in 1980.

In 1980, John was exactly ten years old, and that year he had just returned from studying painting at the Alpine-sur-Mer, and he instigated Archie to help him buy VS, which was a must for a man of strength.

But Archie refused to agree to help John buy VS, because if he knew that he had helped John buy a lingerie store, then Old Morgan would definitely peel off his skin.

Later, John had no choice but to beg Mrs. Morgan. After fully explaining to Mrs. Morgan that he acquired VS, not because of special fetishes, but because he was optimistic about the development of VS. Mrs. Morgan finally agreed to John's request and asked Archie to help John buy VS.

In order to make VS the same development process as in his previous life, John acquired VS and also acquired the parent company of VS in his previous life.

Later, after John got VS, he wanted to find a platform to promote the VS brand, and after looking for it, John finally set his sights on "VOGUE magazine", which is known as the "fashion bible".

Vogue is recognized as the world's leading fashion magazine. Its content covers beauty, clothing, apparel, jewelry, ....... The most important thing is the global distribution of Vogue magazine.

If John could have Vogue, VS would be able to promote the brand to most countries in the world. That's why John bought Condé Nast in 1983.

After acquiring Condé Nast, John naturally got many of its magazine brands, so "Vanity Fair", "The New Yorker", "VOGUE" ...... and other magazines belong to him.

But what is more tragic is that since he gave up his studies at Harvard University two years ago and chose the American Film Academy, the elder Morgan angrily took back all the companies he bought to the consortium for escrow, and also froze his bank account. So John has since lost the management of the company and has been a poor man.

Although John lost management of the company, he didn't care if Vanity Fair and The New Yorker would get angry. In other words, as long as he casually revealed his identity to the editors-in-chief of these two magazines, then these two magazines would never dare to discredit him. It's just that he doesn't want to do it, because the less people know about his identity, the better, otherwise he wouldn't use a pseudonym to get mixed up in Hollywood.

And Nancy on the side saw that John was so sure, she was not easy to persuade her, although she was John's agent, her rights were very small, and it was impossible to influence John's decision, so she decided to give up.

After the two finished chatting about work, Nancy got up to deal with the media, while John stayed in the office and began writing his new script.

The script of "Forrest Gump" has been adapted, but the film will not be filmed until a year later, and it is impossible for John to let the crew rest for such a long time. So he is going to create a TV drama script and then hand it over to the crew to shoot, so that the crew does not have to be idle, and second, he can take this opportunity to train the crew.

While John was writing the screenplay, time passed day by day, and the seventh week of "Stealing Love" ended. The box office of the film is gradually decreasing as its potential and screen continue to decrease.

During the four-day workday, "Stealing Love" earned a total of $5.01 million at the box office.

It grossed more than $4.2 million over the three days of the weekend.

In total, "Stealing Love" earned a total of $9.2 million at the box office in its seventh week.

The total box office of the film also accumulated to $127 million, just one short of the fourth-highest box office of $130 million.

If "Stealing Love" can make $5 million at the box office in its final two weeks, it will beat "The Silence of the Lambs" to occupy the fourth place in the 1991 North American film charts.

John can't guarantee that he will be able to make $5 million at the box office in two weeks, because with the arrival of April, the most important schedule of the year for North American films - summer vacation will come on Thursday next week.

The summer vacation of North American films is the most important and competitive schedule of the year, and major film companies generally invest in one annual big-budget movie during this schedule. And some top film companies, such as Warner and Paramount, have invested at least 2 or more annual big-budget movies in this schedule.

So the summer vacation in North America is definitely naked hand-to-hand combat, fist-to-flesh. And "Stealing Love", as a small-budget movie that has been released for more than a month, wants to grab a piece of food in this environment where wolves are fighting, isn't it big.
