Chapter 439: Las Vegas Tycoon
(Three more, ask for tickets and order!)
Although there is Wu Cheng, a little butterfly, flapping its little wings, there are still some things that are still difficult to escape the trajectory of history.
The male protagonist of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is Harrison Ford, which is understandable, because Spielberg and Lucas both like this actor. Although Lucas didn't want him to appear in two of his movies anymore, he finally chose him.
However, in Wu Cheng's opinion, the heroine of this film should change.
After all, at this time, the heroine of the original work, Karen Allan, had not yet become famous. And Wu Cheng didn't let them do any auditions, and let CAA operate.
But for some reason, this woman still became the heroine of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in this time and space. This is not something that Wu Cheng deliberately asked people to find.
Moreover, even if Wu Cheng asked people to deliberately look for it, they might not be able to find it. And Wu Cheng's understanding of this woman is only limited to the fact that she made the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Wu Cheng didn't have any feelings for her, let alone deliberately understand her, so naturally he didn't know her life, let alone where she was at the time.
Yes, when he learned that she was still the heroine of this film, Wu Cheng was indeed surprised.
But he didn't show it, he just sighed in his heart.
Yes, although Harrison introduced the heroine to Wu Cheng, Wu Cheng only talked to her for a few words, and then chatted with others again.
Speaking of which, this kind of occasion is a small exchange meeting, before the movie premiere starts, everyone is looking for their respective chat partners, maybe just a few words, and a business is directly negotiated. Of course, this is not Xiangjiang, basically, even if there is a business intention, people will not talk about work at this time. At most, we will make an appointment to talk about it at another time.
"Hey, Cheng, nice to meet you!"
Just as Wu Cheng was holding a wine glass and leaving Karen Allan's side, a voice came from the side. This is an old man about sixty years old, and he is accompanied by a tall, blond and blue-eyed golden cat about twenty years old. It seems that it should be a new tender model.
"Oh, Mr. Kircorian, I'm glad to meet you too!"
When Wu Cheng went to Las Vegas to have fun, he lived in someone's hotel and played in someone's casino.
Of course, this guy took MGM Pictures into his pocket a few years ago, but over the years, MGM has not improved, and only makes a few films a year.
Of course, although it has about the same number of films as DreamWorks, DreamWorks' revenue is more than several times that of it. It's just that MGM now has more business, and production is just one of the many businesses. Moreover, his other businesses are also doing well.
Although Wu Cheng didn't know much about MGM's film company in the seventies and eighties~nineties, he still knew that in the end, the film company filed for bankruptcy and reorganization.
Walking to Wu Cheng's side, Kerkorian reached out and patted the buttocks of the girl next to him, motioning for her to leave for a while, and then smiled at Wu Cheng: "I haven't congratulated you yet, I heard that you are a father again! Oh my! How old are you? Eighteen years old? That's really young!"
Although I have had a few encounters with Wu Cheng, in fact, we have not had a deep friendship.
"Haha, thank you! I think that's what I'm most successful at!"
"Listen, listen, this doesn't really sound like a young man's words. ”
"In terms of age, although I am still young, in terms of identity, I am already a 'dad'. I have to think about the future of my two daughters. ”
Kerkorian smiled and said, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help!"
"Oh, is there anything that Mr. Kercorian can't do?" said Wu Cheng with a smile.
"Hey, I'm laughing at me, I'm not as talented as you!" Kercorian shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, I'd like to ask you to write a script for our next 007 film." I heard that you are in Xiangjiang, and you can buy a million dollars for a script, and I can give you two million dollars, as long as your script is good enough. ”
Wu Cheng was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile. Speaking of which, he has seen a lot of movies in the 007 series. But in fact, it doesn't feel good to him, and the later generations are all action scenes and beauties. Moreover, most of the movies in this series, one after another, are more or less related to their predecessors. If you bring the later parts to the present, it is obvious that there will be a lot of changes, and this is not a simple project.
Moreover, he doesn't know whether the movies of later generations are in line with people's appetites when they are now.
As for the one to be released next year, Wu Cheng hasn't seen it. Because he has read reviews and said that this movie is the most ballasted of all the 007 series, he has no interest in watching it.
But whether it is or not, Wu Cheng is not easy to say, because he has not seen it.
So, if you want to copy that one, there's no way. What's more, if it is really the most difficult after copying it out, wouldn't it ruin his reputation?
This shame will be remembered by history!
Therefore, Wu Cheng could only shrug his shoulders and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Kercorian, if it's something else, I'm willing to help." But I really can't help this matter. The 007 series is too huge, and if you want to write its script well, it is not a matter of one or two days, and there are too many materials to refer to. I don't have that much time, and besides, I can't just write something out and perfunctory you, so I'm not destined to help with this favor. I'm so sorry!"
"Oh! that's a pity!" said Kerkorian, visibly frustrated.
He believes that if Wu Cheng's talent is willing to write a movie for them MGM, the box office is absolutely guaranteed. Take a look at the scripts that Wu Cheng has written!
Starting with "Home Alone", "The Seven Deadly Sins", "The Sixth Sense", "First Blood" ...... Even if the box office results of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "First Blood" can't be compared with "Home Alone" and "The Sixth Sense" Chati, relatively speaking, they are definitely earned.
Especially "Home Alone" and "The Sixth Sense", which are definitely the genres that make a lot of money.
Kecorian believes that as long as Wu Cheng is willing to help, next year's 007 will definitely be a big hit, after all, the 007 series has been filmed for so many years and already has so many audience bases, plus Wu Cheng's gimmick of 'Dongfang Cheng', it can definitely be hyped.
It's a pity that Wu Cheng rejected him!
Seeing Kecorian's depressed expression, Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, we can't cooperate in movies, but in the hotel and catering industry, we can still cooperate." I'm planning to build the world's most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas next year, and I wonder if Mr. Kercorian is interested in investing in it?"
"Wott?" Kerkorian was a little surprised, because Wu Cheng's words completely spoke to his heart, or rather, Wu Cheng's thoughts coincided with him.
Quecorian also thought about building a super luxury hotel in Las Vegas and developing some casino business. If Wu Cheng wanted to do this, he absolutely believed that Wu Cheng had this strength.
You must know that Wu Cheng has a net worth of two or three billion US dollars in just three years, and with his ability, what is it to build a super hotel?
Kercolian was only slightly stunned, and finally laughed: "It turns out that you also have such an idea, what a coincidence, I am also planning to build another hotel in the world in Las Vegas next year...... Let's work together!"
"Cooperation?" Wu Cheng hesitated and said, "How to cooperate?"
In fact, Wu Cheng really thought about building a hotel. Because that place in Las Vegas is definitely one of the largest gold caves in the world.
It's a bottomless pit of gold absorption, and it would be a pity if you didn't get a foot in it?
Now at this time, participate in it, and in the future, even if you sell the land directly, you can make a lot of money, let alone open casinos and entertainment facilities on it.
Therefore, Wu Cheng wanted to build a 'Huaxia City' in that place, which would be decorated in a classical Chinese style and make an antique entertainment city.
I believe that such an entertainment city, not to mention that domestic tourists will like it at that time, even tourists from some other countries don't mind coming to enjoy the Chinese style!
He also had no idea that Kercorian also had plans to build a new hotel there.
"I plan to invest one billion, you can invest three hundred million, and I will give you thirty percent of the shares!"
"Wow, wouldn't that be a loss to you?"
"No, no, just because of your reputation, I don't think I will lose anything, I believe that your fans will definitely choose your hotel as soon as they come to play, because it will give them a sense of security. Even if something happens, they believe that their idol will solve it for them!"
Kerkorian smiled, "So, I think you're worth the price!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, I want to invest 800 million, let you invest 200 million, let's co-create a Chinese-style entertainment city." I can give you thirty percent of the shares, but I don't know if Mr. Kercorian is interested!"
Hearing Wu Cheng's words, Kecorian just smiled, and then it was over.
Because he knows that Wu Cheng is definitely an extremely strong person, looking at all the companies under his name, all of them are owned by him, even his personal wholly-owned companies.
Therefore, it is not easy to cooperate with such a strong person.
And Wu Cheng wanted to cooperate with him, but he just took a fancy to his staff training mechanism and some gambling masters who could sit in the casino.
He has never done catering and entertainment, and it is definitely not so easy to make a name for himself, and it is a big trouble to recruit and train employees.
But obviously, this guy Kecorian is also a relatively strong guy.
A piece of cake, everyone wants to eat a large piece, and the result is naturally inseparable.
