"Applying pressure?"

Fernando Barden didn't react for a moment.

Tang En said: "It is to make him feel sorry and make it ugly in terms of accounts." There is no need to lose money, and the profit should be kept to a minimum, and it cannot be higher than the bank interest. ”

After investing such a large amount of money for two or three years, the money earned is not as high as the bank interest, which is almost like losing money.

Fernando Bardem suddenly realized: "Oh! Don't worry, I will definitely let him obediently hand over the 5% dividend!"

Tang En couldn't help but laugh and said, "The dividends of the fart, I set up such a big battle, just to earn his little dividends?

Fernando Bardem looked sneered, "That...... Boss, you'd better adjust my work as soon as possible. I'm good at financial management, and I'm good at making accounts, but I really don't know much about Hollywood. ”

Don waved his hand, "The new director will be in place next summer, and you still have to keep an eye on it during this time." The biggest problem on Hollywood's side is that the accounts are not clear, and there are too many internal transactions that are too chaotic, which is not conducive to listing review. In the next six months, you have to deal with this matter. ”

"No problem!" Fernando Bardem was confident, "what about Peter Jackson?"

Tang En had no choice but to explain to him: "It's almost impossible for a big director like Peter Jackson to make him give up movies and make American dramas." It was only when King Kong suffered a major setback and caused a great disadvantage to New Universal that he could take over the Hobbit project out of guilt. ”

Fernando Bardem finally understood Donn's good intentions.

Is this to let Peter Jackson take over the TV series version of "The Hobbit"?

That's too big, isn't it?

A director of this level can produce a TV series, at most filming one or two episodes. It's almost impossible to control three seasons of The Hobbit.

For the film industry, Fernando Bardem is just a layman, more of a submissive man.

……

By the second week, the box office of "King Kong" did not grow against the trend, but declined according to the normal box office trend, and the box office was $40 million the next week.

Fortunately, because "King Kong" is Peter Jackson's masterpiece, the fame is too great!

As a result, in this Christmas file, there is no decent opponent, and "King Kong" has become the North American box office weekly champion for two consecutive weeks.

All the blockbusters of the same period were released in November to fight "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

As a result, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a big hit.

"King Kong" suffered Waterloo.

During this time, Peter Jackson was under extreme pressure. Especially every time he called, New Global reported misery again and again, which made him feel deeply guilty.

From the perspective of film professionals, "King Kong" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of commercial films in this era.

The special effects technology, in particular, is breathtaking.

It's a pity that the image of the gorilla is really not very flattering. Coupled with the fact that the movie is too long, a large part of the movie fans are discouraged.

If Peter Jackson was beaten back to his original form, it wouldn't be so.

But one thing has to be said is that without the support of big popular brands, it is difficult for Peter Jackson to be as easy as Spielberg and Cameron.

It was in this situation that a producer came to the door and found him - Sal Zaenz.

It's an old friend.

Back then, Peter Jackson and New Line bought the film adaptation rights of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy from Sal Zaynz!

Sal Zaynz not only holds the rights to the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, but also the production rights of the film adaptation of The Hobbit.

Later, because of the cooperation with New Line and Warner, Sal Zaynz also licensed the film production rights of "The Hobbit" to New Line Pictures, hoping that New Line Pictures could promote the "Hobbit" series of movies.

The result was an accident.

New Universal and Warner are at a standstill!

New Universal, which holds the rights to the "Hobbit" film distribution, is reluctant to develop this series!

This certainly cost Warner a lot of money, and it also cost Sal Zaynz the opportunity to make money.

Now, there's something wrong with King Kong.

Sal Zaynz saw an opportunity right away.

One of the biggest projects of the year was a joke, and Peter Jackson was under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't wait to prove himself.

However, it is impossible to continue filming such a big project as "King Kong".

This movie is so miserable at the box office, maybe the next movie will be even worse!

Hollywood's convention is to chase the rise and kill the fall.

Unless...... Peter Jackson can get back to his old ways!

Continue filming the Lord of the Rings series!

As long as Peter Jackson continues to make the "Lord of the Rings" series, then Hollywood will not be stingy with big money!

"You want to invite me to make 'The Hobbit'?" Peter Jackson was a little surprised when he heard what the other party meant.

Sal Zaynz said: "Peter, we are old friends, this time the King Kong ...... You made a big mistake. I hope that the criticism in the media and the doubts in the industry have not broken your heart. ”

This is not sensational.

Many directors, after messing up a big project, are guilty of autism and their careers plummet. In her previous life, Ann Lee, after the failure of "The Incredible Hulk", was disheartened and almost quit the film industry.

"I'm not that vulnerable, and the investors are ...... I mean New Universal, they were anxious, but they didn't ask or question me. Peter Jackson shook his head, very strange, "I've heard all about the 'The Hobbit' project, didn't I say I didn't talk about it?"

"It's true that we didn't talk about it. However, I hope that we can work together again to move this project forward. Sal Zaynz said in a deep voice.

Peter Jackson frowned, "Old man, you should know what happened to me! I'm still in a lawsuit with New Line Pictures! They didn't give me enough dividends from the Lord of the Rings trilogy!"

Sal Zaynz lowered his voice and admonished: "Behind the new line is Warner. Peter, this is not good for you, and I urge you to end the matter as soon as possible. ”

Peter Jackson was very displeased, "I won't work with New Line Pictures anymore!"

"Peter?"

"I messed up King Kong, and it's pretty much a shame that Down Pictures hasn't suffered in so many years. Anyway, I'm going to help Done Pictures make the money back, if they still think of me. ”

Peter Jackson's words are a bit high-sounding.

In fact, he only cares about his personal relationship with Donne.

With Donn, why be afraid of Warner?

Sal Zaynz had no choice but to grit his silver teeth fiercely and said fiercely: "If that's the case...... That's not impossible!"

"What do you mean?"

"In 2003, I licensed the rights to The Hobbit to New Line Pictures and gave them four years to start developing the project. Sal Zaynz paused and stared into Peter Jackson's eyes, "That is, if New Line Pictures still fails to launch "The Hobbit" in 2007, I can take back the copyright!"

Peter Jackson's eyes immediately widened, and he said in disbelief: "Old man, is it ...... Do you want to take back the authorization of the new line and work with New Global instead?"

If he did, Saar-Zaynz would have completely broken with Warner.

This is even more serious than Peter Jackson's lawsuit with New Line Pictures!

This is a gift of Warner's job to New Universal!

Sal Zaynz gritted his teeth and said: "So what? Don't you still understand the current Hollywood? Warner is strong in the middle, and the real overlord is New Universal!"

In order to make money, in order to promote the "Hobbit" series, he gave up!

New Universal owns the film distribution rights for The Hobbit.

If the rights to the production of The Hobbit were obtained from Sal Zaynz, New Universal would be able to develop the Hobbit franchise on its own......
