After Michael Ovitz finished talking to Harvey Weinstein, he called Bowen Rothschild directly, asking for "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgarity" to be made into a public welfare film to compete with John.

But Powen Rothschild did not promise Michael Ovitz.

Master duel, as soon as you shoot, you will know if there is one.

"Forrest Gump" has already taken the lead, and "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar" can't be suppressed even if they become public welfare now, it's too late.

Therefore, the winners and losers at the box office have been divided, and there is no need to make unnecessary investments.

And if he makes both films into public welfare films to compete with John, it will be of a different nature, and there may be some unforeseen consequences at that time.

"Michael, you don't have to worry about the box office, Harvey will take care of it, your job now is awards season, we lost at the box office, I hope to win it back at awards season, understand?"

"Yes sir. ”

Michael Ovitz was reluctant.

But he didn't dare not listen to Bowen Rothschild's words, so he could only endure even if he was unwilling.

……

On the one hand, with the reports of major media, the super high midnight box office of "Forrest Gump", the star-studded premiere, and crazy fans have all become hot topics and topics of concern for everyone.

The real fame in one fell swoop is known to the world.

And just when ordinary people are eagerly discussing everything about "Forrest Gump", a special group of people are also paying attention to "Forrest Gump".

For example, Jack Welch, who lives in Boston's General Electric office building, is holding the New York Times with relish.

As the president of an industry-leading company, his job is now to take care of business, but instead of the thick stack of papers on his desk, he is interested in what the newspaper is about.

"This little girl from the Estee Lauder family is nice. ”

Jack Welch looked at the newspaper and nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the phone and called the assistant in.

"Birner, call Emperor Cinemas for me, I'm going to charter the venue. ”

"Good boss. Assistant Bernard was a little puzzled why Jack Welch suddenly wanted to watch a movie, he had been with Jack Welch for three years, and he had never seen Jack Welch go to the theater, in fact, even the usual rest and entertainment of Jack Welch was very rare.

"Tell Emperor Cinema that I want to pack 3,000 halls for "Forrest Gump", and let them watch the arrangements for these 3,000 venues, no matter what city they are in, as long as they want to watch "Forrest Gump", they can enter. ”

"Okay boss, do you want to leak this matter to the media?"

After discovering that Jack Welch didn't want to watch a movie, but wanted to do public welfare, Berner gave a little suggestion, letting the media know that not only can promote Jack Welch's image, but General Electric can also make a bright appearance, and Arian Lander has not only included 100 movies, but has not only become the object of heated discussion today, but Estee Lauder has also brushed a lot of presence.

"Yes, just reveal it properly. Jack Welch thought about it and agreed to Bernard's proposal.

Brushing up on goodwill and doing public welfare is not the purpose of Jack Welch's bag movie.

"Forrest Gump" is regarded by others as a public welfare film, but in his heart, this is not a public welfare film, this is face.

John promised to donate all the income from Forrest Gump, and if the income is small and the money donated is small, it will be a loss of face.

In particular, the Rockefeller Group is still watching the show, so John's face cannot be lost, otherwise it will become the other party's after-dinner conversation, and the entire Morgan Group will not be able to raise its head at that time.

So as the second-level administrator of the Morgan Group, Jack Welch can't let this happen, even if he takes out four or five million pockets to help John stay up.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to rely on him alone, even if he invests all his annual income into it, it is only tens of millions, which is a drop in the bucket, so he needs to use media reports to send messages to other administrators of the Morgan Group, so that everyone can come to charter the venue and help John support the field.

However, no one who can achieve a high position is a fool, and when he asked his assistant Berner to charter the venue, the other senior executives of the Morgan Group had already taken action.

The first thing Smith, the president of JPMorgan Bank, did when he came to the company early in the morning was to ask his secretary to help him pack 5,000 "Forrest Gump".

Morgan Stanley's president, Dimon, has long asked his assistant to go to the theater to book 5,000 shows.

There are also General Motors, IBM, U.S. Steel, AT&T, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, AIG, Chubb Insurance Group, NBC TV, RCA Records, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, General Dynamics, General Mills, ITT, Black Rock, Fidelity, Vanguard, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, ...... A series of major corporate administrators of the Morgan Group have also taken action, with more than 5,000 games and fewer packages of 1,000 games.

All of these people combined have a total of nearly 70,000 games.

At an average of more than $4,000 per game, these men contributed nearly $300 million to John's box office.

Of course, this does not include John's team, the so-called "princelings", who are more generous than the above.

Among them, Chris Gardner made the fastest and most generous shot, and at the premiere, he took out half of his net worth of more than 10 million to pack 13,000 movies.

For him, the king humiliates the minister, and John can't be insulted, so he took out half of his net worth, of course, if he wants to contribute it all, he definitely doesn't say a word and takes it all out, without John, he wouldn't be where he is today, he dares to disobey old Morgan for John, not to mention a little outside the body.

As for Starbucks' Howard Schultz, Qualcomm's two old men, and John's arms agent Jinx are also very generous, each of them has 10,000 games.

Among these people, Jinx's family background is the second-to-last, more than 40 million almost wiped him out, but he understands that this is the time to perform, he can't always be an arms dealer, he needs John's support, so naturally he has to perform well.

And John's other agent, Corah, had the fewest packs, 200. Her net worth is the least among these people, and it is good to be able to pack 200 games.

So these people contributed a total of 50,000 games to John, more than 200 million.

plus the contributions of the administrators above, that is to say, these people contributed more than $500 million to the box office of "Forrest Gump".

This figure has almost reached the total global box office of "Forrest Gump" in its previous life.

But that's just the beginning, the Morgan Group claims to have 200,000 members, and these 200,000 members are not 200,000 employees, but 200,000 companies.

GE alone has hundreds of small and medium-sized companies.

So these people above are only a very small part, and the big head is still behind, if the entire Morgan Group operates, even if each member only sells $10,000 for a movie, 200,000 members will add up to a terrifying number, piling up "Forrest Gump" into a peak that is difficult to climb.
