Chapter 91: We Came with Sincerity!!

Las Vegas, the largest city in the state of Magnesium Nevada, is also a city with a high international reputation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info It was founded on May 15, 1905, and because it is located on the edge of the Nevada desert, Las Vegas has high temperatures all year round.

Although the city is on the edge of the desert, it has developed it with one word: "gambling". It is one of the four major gambling cities in the world, a world-renowned resort city centered on the gambling industry for tourism, shopping and vacation, and has the reputation of "the world's entertainment capital" and "marriage capital".

Of the 38.9 million tourists who come to Las Vegas each year, the majority come to shop and enjoy food, and only a few come to gamble. From a humble rundown village to a huge international city, Las Vegas took only a decade.

Here, if you're a warrior, it doesn't matter, it can make you a weak overnight. If you're a destitute beggar with a few dollars left, don't worry, go to Las Vegas and maybe you'll be a salted fish overnight. If you can't spend too much money, it doesn't matter, go to Las Vegas and maybe you'll experience the chic of a homeless overnight.

Las Vegas is such a city, one hell, one paradise, and the coexistence of opportunity and frustration.

Ben came to Las Vegas Amber must come with her, but Shaogong arranged another task for her, asked her to find a few classmates, and asked a filming team to follow them to Maryland to shoot "Blair the Witch", which is a small investment movie, and it will not cost tens of thousands of dollars in total, but Shaogong knows that if "Titanic" is released, Amber's value will definitely rise, and such a small-budget horror movie plus Amber's value after becoming popular, there will definitely be a big gimmick and deliberate hype.

And such a documentary-style movie, the shooting cycle is very short, it takes less than a month in total, plus post-production, it can be completed in more than a month, but Titanic can't wait a month.

Let the fun-loving Amber go to Las Vegas with her, she will definitely pester herself to play crazy, in case she comes up to play sex in that honeymoon mecca, and forces herself to get married, then she will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Shao Gong couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat, although Kevin is currently supervising the filming of "Chainsaw", but as soon as he heard that Columbia Pictures and many companies invited him to a party, he had to follow him alive and dead, he was too familiar with those people, don't look at them in suits and leather collars, but their hearts are more vicious than jackals, in case this partner catches their way, it will be bad.

On the way, listening to what Kevin told him about what kind of evil people are one by one, Shao Gong has a gentle smile on his face, when it comes to evil, he is not a good product, and now he can fight poison with poison and seek some profits for himself.

Seeing that Kevin was worried, Shao Gong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you are only responsible for introducing them to me, as for how to talk about it, don't make a sound, just look at me." ”

"But them!!"

"Don't you think I'm treacherous enough? ”

A look glared Kevin back, and Shao Gong said domineeringly: "If they are jackals, then I am a dinosaur." Rest assured, we won't be trapped. ”

MGM Plaza, located at the intersection of Las Vegas Strip and Tropical Road in the heart of Las Vegas Plaza, was completed at the end of 1993 and is by far the largest entertainment plaza in Las Vegas.

Surrounded by four main buildings, the hotel is built in a style modeled after an 18th-century Florentine villa in Italy, with interiors inspired by Hollywood, South American, Casablanca and desert oasis. In particular, the bathrooms are made of Italian marble.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see marble from Italy set off all kinds of strange decorations, dazzling and luxurious. It retains the ruggedness and enthusiasm of the era of the development of the West, and its charm is that it is reminiscent of the West of the pioneer era: the owner of the casino is the king, the money of the Waldo is in his hands, and it is probably the closest society to an unstructured society in the whole world. At the entrance of the hotel stands a huge golden lion surrounded by a fountain, and the hotel is just like the majestic teacher standing in front of the door, proud of the crowd, and truly worthy of the reputation of "entertainment capital".

The meeting place was a luxurious bathing and leisure place paved with Italian marble, Shao Gong and Kevin came in, and the six people inside looked at them, these few soaked in a large bath, although they were tall, short, fat and thin, but there was no doubt that each of them was the CEO of the company with heavy investment resources, and their own momentum was much stronger than Kevin's down-and-out household.

"Welcome guests from the East. ”

It was an elegant-looking foreigner who spoke: "Friend, if you don't mind, let's take a bath together!"

"I wouldn't mind. ”

Shao Gong unbuttoned his bathrobe and entered the bath wearing only boxers, Kevin saw it, and followed closely, and introduced Shao Gong: "This is Matthew, the president of Columbia Pictures." Then he continued: "That is Phillips, one of the presidents of Warners, Torres, the president of Paramount Pictures, Garner Lemur, the president of Universal Pictures, Pete, the president of Fox Films, and Jones Mitchell of Disney Pictures. ”

"Hello everyone. ”

In the face of these giants, Shao Gong shook hands with everyone one by one, and then looked at them, especially the Colombian boss Matthew smiled and said: "I don't know what you asked us to come over!!"

"I didn't dare to ask for advice, I just invited the little brother to come and get together. After all, Wright used to belong to a member of our group, although it is now acquired by Menghang, but the friendship is still there, and President Ouyang is a guest from afar, as a senior in this circle, I naturally want to meet you. ”

Ma Xiu smiled slightly, and suddenly a gentlemanly demeanor rushed towards him: "Although the little brother has just come to the magnesium country, I have admired your reputation in Huaxia for a long time!"

"Me ...... too"

Shao Gong showed a look of seeing legendary figures, and said respectfully to them: "You are all seniors in the industry, each of them is famous, and you are all my idols! ”

Seeing that he respected himself and others so much, the CEOs also felt that their faces were bright. Warner President Phillips smiled: "I heard that my brother has a theater in Huaxia!!"

"Well, there is indeed one, there are cinemas in prime locations in major first-, second- and third-tier cities, a total of 150 medium-sized cinemas. ”

Seeing that he was so sincere, Phillips personally poured Shao Gong a glass of red wine and handed it to him: "Here's the thing, some of our movies are distributed in China by Matthew, but unfortunately Matthew doesn't have a theater in his hands, so Columbia is a little lacking in confidence in China, during which Matthew didn't think about buying a theater line, but unfortunately the big theater line doesn't sell it, and the small theater line doesn't play much role, so although we have excellent movies, we suffer a big loss in box office recovery." ”

"It's true, no matter whose movies are released in China, as long as they are released on my territory, it is absolutely impossible not to feed me, especially overseas movies, they will even open their mouths. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Gong drank all the red wine, and couldn't help sighing: "I just have enough of their losses, so I ruthlessly bought a theater line, this is not to recover how much box office, but because the theater line is in my own hands, then I will have confidence, and I will not have to suffer from their anger in the future, otherwise my neck will be on the gallows, and it will not taste good." ”

"Well, that's a good point!! Without a theater chain in our hands, our film company is like not having two legs. ”

Paramount boss Torres agreed: "So we invited President Ouyang here this time to discuss with you about the release of our movie in China, since President Ouyang came to the magnesium country, then everyone is their own people, since they are their own people, and there is a theater in the hands of our brothers, why should we ask others!"

"Yes to ......"

Garner, the boss of Universal Pictures, nodded very seriously: "Now that we have Mathew overseas promotion, plus President Ouyang's theater for overseas distribution, it can really be described as a strong alliance, is there money for everyone to make together?"

At this time, Fox boss Pete Thief smiled: "We don't have high requirements, as long as my brother wants lower requirements than domestic theaters." Hearing this, Disney President Jones Mitchell also blinked his eyes and asked tentatively: "As for how much lower, my brother is in China and holds a theater line, so he naturally knows more than us." ”

"That's it!!"

Shao Gong blinked and smiled: "Why don't you tell me first, you plan to export a few films!!! In order to ensure the quality of the screening of our theater chain, I can't just give it to a senior, since we are talking about cooperation, then we will naturally pick the best release." ”

"It's certainly for the best. ”

The six of them said in unison: "Since we plan to export overseas, we will naturally export with high quality, great effort and big production." Immediately, Matthew said: "We in Colombia are going to export our latest masterpiece this year: 007 vs. Casino Royale, which is a big production and the highlight of our company." ”

"Our company intends to export Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with a series of new fantasy films. Warner President Phillips laughed.

"Our company intends to export last year's Mission Impossible III. Paramount President Torres also said the film for export. Next is Universal, originally he wanted to export Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, but considering that the first few films did not do well at the box office in China, he changed the Miami Storm movie.

Fox wants to export Garfield 2: Cat Twin Cats, and Disney wants to export Mulan 2.

Shao Gong thought about it, nodded and said: "Action, magic, agents, gunfight action, pet Garfield and Mulan with oriental characteristics, these movies are indeed very gimmicky, I believe that as long as Matthew's predecessors promote it well, it will be a good box office film." ”

Hearing this, several people stretched their necks and said, "What about the box office share??" Hearing this, Shao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bright smile: "Since everyone is our own people, and we are here with sincerity, what kind of box office share is discussed, our own people should be honest with each other, so I decided to give all my seniors zero share of the release, and do not charge half of the box office profit." ”

"Tear!!"

As soon as he heard this, Kevin's face was recorded, and the rest of the people gasped, and they were immediately moved, and they all came around to call him a brother, praising him for being a friend enough, interesting, didn't say it, as long as they are in the magnesium country, others don't want to trouble you.

Hearing this, Shao Gong looked a little lost, and sighed: "Seniors, the younger brother also makes movies, but it's a pity that Oudian Cinema doesn't cooperate with us, so our movies haven't found a theater that can cooperate with the movie, since all the seniors have theaters in their hands, can you give me a movie release channel!!"

Saying that, Shao Gong was extremely aggrieved and said: "It's a big deal, I can give half of the box office to your theaters, how about it??"

"Well, if you are friends enough to us, then we can't help but be friends to you. ”

Ma Xiu said proudly: "My brother was invited by me to come to the party, and when I have finished taking a bath, I will take my brother to the casino to play and enjoy the scenery of Las Vegas." As for the release of your movie, we have contracted the publicity and distribution of Columbia Company for you, and we guarantee to give you the best resources and the best packaging publicity.

Everyone is friends and mutually beneficial, you don't charge us half of the box office profits, we will naturally take care of you equally and don't charge any of your box office. Friends??That's how you make a heart-to-heart handover......"

Speaking of happiness, Matthew also looked at the rest of the people, and said with a serious face: "Everyone, let Huaxia friends' movies be released in theaters under our six companies, do you agree?"

"No problem. ”

“OK,OK……”

Seeing that the six of them all agreed, Shao Gong hugged his fists and said excitedly to them: "So, thank you seniors for your care." ”
