During this time, Lei Shidong was a lot quieter.

He thought about it behind closed doors.

Viacom's stock price continues to plummet, and he is the first person responsible.

He even dared to guarantee that as long as he resigned, Viacom's stock price would definitely be able to make a Jedi rebound.

But once power is grasped, it is impossible to let go easily.

Lei Shidong is looking for a way not to lose power but also to save the stock price.

Of course, the premise is that Don can't kneel.

It's humiliating!

He's a big boss, a media tycoon!

Not professional managers like Tom Rothman and Michael Eisner.

During this time, he was also slowly summing up.

The reason why Viacom's stock price is depressed and abandoned by investors is mainly five points.

One, Pepsi dragged down.

New Universal has some of the hottest films of the past few years, and many Disney films, especially the more than 150 films owned by Miramax, are also popular in the videotape and DVD markets.

Pepsi was boycotted by New Universal and Disney, resulting in a 30% drop in operating income this year!

This is the main reason why Viacom's stock price continues to fall sharply.

Second, Viacom's management is unstable.

The contradiction between Lei Shidong and Kamasin is becoming more and more intensified, and he, the assistant, seems to have broken the jar. A management crisis, in the eyes of Wall Street, is a serious threat to interests and is likely to lead to major internal upheaval.

Third, the turmoil of the Lei Shidong family.

Lei Shidong is seventy and eighty years old and still does not let go of power, which makes his children very dissatisfied. Isn't it nonsense that his son, in particular, is almost sixty years old and still unable to take power? Viacom is a family business, and the internal conflicts within the family are also a big threat.

Fourth, ratings for CBS and Shotime TV have declined.

"American Idol" switched to ABC, Shotime's competitor Starz TV, new dramas are frequent, and when "Six Feet Under 3" is finished, a dark Marvel TV series "The Punisher" will be broadcast!

Although the box office of "Daredevil: Time to War" is not too high, the reputation is too good, which makes the signature of "Dark Marvel" also very popular. Recently, the STA television network has more than 15 million subscribers, and countless viewers are full of anticipation for Marvel's first TV series, "The Punisher".

Fifth, Paramount was blocked by the box office of New Universal and Disney.

However, this effect is minimal.

In this era, newspapers, magazines, and television are the most mainstream media, and the evaluation of film critics is very important to the box office trend of movies. As long as Paramount's movies are good enough, there's no need to be afraid of the lockdown of New Universal and Disney. Just like a few years ago, Don Pictures was able to stand out.

The key question is, can Paramount put out a good work?

It's all about the abilities of Paramount's new head, Brad Gray.

Now, Lei Shidong has already thought about it, and he has to deal with three things-

First, the strong man broke his wrist and split the Pepsi!

Second, the strong man broke his arm, paid a liquidated damages, and fired President Mayer Kamashin!

Third, the strong man broke his thigh, took out a large sum of money, bought back the part of the shares he gave to his son back then, and then drove his own son out of Viacom!

……

Entering July, the filming of "Departed" has finally begun!

The film is expected to be filmed for 4 months and will be completed in mid-October.

Don is so busy that it is impossible to delay all the time in the crew, so the shooting plan has been determined a long time ago, and it will take 5-7 weeks to shoot his scene first.

This kind of special treatment has not been encountered even by Al Pacino and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Usually, when filming a movie, it is all a scene and all the scenes are filmed in one time period.

That is, the scene remains the same, and the actors change.

This will save money.

It can also save a lot of unnecessary tossing.

In order to take care of Don En, he had to follow Don En's script and shoot all his scenes first. After filming Don Eun, everyone will start over again and continue to film their scenes.

This would add an additional $4.5 million in cost overhead;

In addition, because Donn had limited time, it was impossible to shoot on a large scale.

The original plan was to shoot a small part of the film in Boston and then most of it in New York, because New York has a 15% tax incentive.

This additional expenditure will amount to another $4 million.

Thankfully...... Donne, the leading actor, is free to star.

This special care, of course, the rest of the crew has no complaints.

This is equivalent to Tang En's own salary, which is convenient for everyone, which is very good.

No one likes to run between New York and Boston.

Tang En had already gotten the script, and he memorized the lines.

His scenes are mainly divided into four parts: first, the confrontation with many police officers, second, the interaction with his girlfriend Cate Blanchett, third, the confrontation with the black boss Al Pacino, and fourth, the confrontation with Leonardo.

The first filming location was the Boston Police Department.

In the morning, Don was putting on makeup in the dressing room.

In other words, "Departed" hired a total of 14 stylists, including 2 costume designers, 7 makeup artists, 3 hairstylists and 2 special effects makeup artists.

Most people share it, and Don naturally has his own royalty.

In front of the mirror, he was wearing a light green straight police uniform, with things padded on his shoulders and chest, looking more burly and straight. The hair is covered with a layer of hairspray, which is very uncomfortable, but it is very sunny, and there is a natural sense of justice.

"Donn, you should exercise more. ”

Cate Blanchett quietly appeared at the door of the dressing room at some point, leaning on the door and smiling.

In the movie, she plays Donne's girlfriend and Leonardo's lover.

As a result, she became pregnant with Leonardo's child.

This is a sensitive and complex character.

Don looked at her through the mirror in front of her and said, "I work out every day. ”

"And the chest pads?" Cate Blanchett teased.

Don was very helpless, "Kinesiologists have said that it is not that the bigger the muscle mass, the healthier it is, do you think bodybuilders have a long life? ”

"Nicole is right, you have so many reasons. Cate Blanchett shook her head.

Don shrugged his shoulders and asked casually, "What about you, how are you going?"

"Small meaning. ”

Cate Blanchett is confident.

Donn frowned and said: "Kate, you have to prepare for twelve points, the role of Madeleine, although there are not many scenes, but it is very expressive, and I still count on this role to push you to the Oscars." ”

"Huh?" Cate Blanchett was stunned, "isn't it?"

"Oscar-winning supporting actress. ”

"This ......"

Don said: "The actress Martin was looking for was Vera Farmiga, and I strongly recommended you, don't let me down." ”

Cate Blanchett knew that there was this story behind this, and nodded, "By the way, should our bed scene be revealed? Why is it not specifically described in the script?"

Don En had a black line in his head, "Do you think it's an adult?"

Speaking of which, he was also angry.

In the original version of "The Departed", there was no bed scene between "Colin Sullivan" and "Madeleine".

It is estimated that in the post-editing process, the space is limited, so it was cut.

He has made a lot of movies, and he knows that filming bed scenes ...... It's nowhere near as rosy as it seems.

In order to shoot the best and most beautiful shots, sometimes a scene can be filmed for a day, and it can be done over and over again, and the mouth can be blistered.

At this time, another voice came: "Donn, that little girl Gal Gadot is very smart!"

Very underwhelming sound.

It's Leonardo DiCaprio!

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Donn scolded him very unceremoniously, and then said to Cate Blanchett, "Kate, Gale has just come from Israel for a few days, you can take care of it more." ”

Cate Blanchett knew it and said with a smile: "No problem, you can rest assured that you can film." ”

Leonardo pursed his lips and sneered: "Filming is not so simple! Donne, you have a set of skills as a director, but filming is not necessarily." While I have time, you can ask me more. ”

It is estimated that he is the one who dares to talk to Don like this in Hollywood.

Cate Blanchett chuckled, "The morning scene is relatively easy, and Don is the only protagonist. ”

"It's easy in the morning, but what about in the afternoon? Don't forget, there's a big show in the afternoon! I'll be on the stage myself!" Leonardo craned his neck, a little proud.

That's right, in the afternoon at the police station, there will be a focus scene.

This is a set of shots near the end of "The Departed", in which the undercover police officer "Billy" goes to the police station and asks his boss "Colin" for a bonus and wants to restore his identity as a police officer.

As a result, in the process, he keenly discovered that "Colin" was the undercover gang/gang hidden in the police station!

This scene, although it did not break out, was deep and introverted, but there was an undercurrent of life and death.

There is a great danger involved.

This is one of the most important shots in the whole movie.

It's very difficult to perform.

Leonardo was confident.

He is not enough for the Oscar actor to be at the level, but PK off Don En, is it not a handle?

Don't take it too easy!

Don looked at Leonardo contemptuously and sneered: "Leon, if I were you, I would go back now, concentrate on studying the script, and find the assistant director to rehearse a few more times." Otherwise, when we play against each other in the afternoon, there will be a big joke!"

"Big joke?"

Leonardo was stunned, "Whose joke?"

"Of course it's you!"

Don looks more confident than Leonardo.

"Haha!"

Leonardo laughed and squatted on the ground, "Damn, Donn, you're deliberately tricking me, right? ”

"Don't believe me?"

"Ask them, who will believe?"

"Huh?"

Don raised his eyebrows, and the staff all looked evasively, looked at Cate Blanchett, and found that she also had an embarrassed expression.

"Kate, you don't believe me either?"

"Donne, Leon...... After all, he is a professional actor and is the top actor. ”

"It seems that everyone doesn't have much confidence in me. Don muttered to himself, shaking his head and laughing, "The afternoon scene is interesting!"
