It took three months of intense shooting, and the film was successfully completed.

Jerry Donn finally breathed a sigh of relief, and instead of returning to Los Angeles after the finale, he went to Gwyneth's private apartment.

This movie pinned too much on Jerry Donn's expectations, and poured all his heart and soul into it.

He once played a supporting role for 20 years, and played a supporting role for a lifetime, until the last moment of his life, he played the villain protagonist once, but he was actually a supporting role.

What is it like to be a life experience?

Pain, struggle, choice, perseverance...... Until I tasted the taste of harvest for the first time in my life, it was also the last bloom of life.

This is a truly unforgettable regret, and it may be difficult for those who have not experienced it to appreciate it.

Heaven is merciful.

The lifelong regrets of his previous life were transferred to Jerry Donn, and the favorable material conditions gave him the opportunity to make up for his regrets, so he made a comeback, and the first step was to devote all his money to make a movie with himself as the absolute protagonist, realizing his long-cherished wish of never playing a male protagonist in his previous life.

However, this long-cherished wish was really heavy for Jerry Donn, who was only eighteen, and forced him to concentrate all the resources he had on a desperate gamble, not daring to relax at all, and not stopping for a moment, trying his best to make an unfulfilled wish.

Pressing all your net worth, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, this is a big gamble!

Fortunately, the existence of the family gave him the confidence to give it a go, and he did what he said, from the creation of the script to the completion of the shooting, which lasted six months.

Since the film was conceived, Jerry has been nervous and devoted himself to the production of the film, even if he and Gwyneth are fake, the starting point is to ensure that his film is not interfered with by external forces.

Although the film still has a series of problems to solve, such as post-production and release, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After the filming ended, Jerry also relaxed, but the emotional problems were not over.

At the end of last year, he and Gwyneth reached a verbal agreement, and the two agreed to have an open romance and get together and break up in sync with the film.

The start was not bad, but with Brad Pitt's sideways kick, Gwyney unilaterally broke the contract, which made Jerry very passive, which directly affected the filming progress and quality of the film.

As a last resort, Jerry had no choice but to give Gwyneth a dose of fierce medicine, set a gentle trap, and use a beautiful man trick to capture her body and mind.

According to the pre-planned plan, the relationship should also end with the filming of the film, but this is not the case.

The reason why people are different from animals is that once feelings arise, they will not be cut off.

Although it is not stable to the point of unswerving, it also needs time to precipitate, and in the end, the gathering and dispersion can only be decided by the parties themselves.

It's clear that Gwyneth's decision now is to strike while the iron is hot and continue to cement the not-so-strong intimacy between herself and Jerry.

Jerry Donn, on the other hand, is an extremely energetic guy who can't stand loneliness and loneliness, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he has no daughters and no joy.

At present, Mira is enrolled in school, and except for the occasional trip on the weekend, there is no one to be seen at all.

Lady Bellucci, the sexy bomb, followed Mira to the academy, and it is said that Mrs. Sally is very optimistic about her and is ready to train Monica as a future Hollywood actress.

Since then, Jerry has been alone again after filming.

Gwyneth's affectionate infatuation is undoubtedly right in the heart for Jerry, who is preparing to give himself a vacation.

So the two hit it off, "the husband and wife both returned home", and after the finale banquet, the two drove to the love nest overnight.

Don't look at Gwyneth's debut is not long, and the salary is not high, but she is a veritable little rich woman.

Two years ago, she bought a 380-square-meter duplex mansion in Manhattan, where land is at a premium, and in addition, she has a villa in Beverly Hills, which is all real estate in her name, not counting the house that the Paltrows prepared for their daughter.

It is not difficult to see from here why Gwyneth's acting starting point is much higher than that of most Hollywood actors, because her economic conditions are very good, she has no worries about life, and her parents are celebrities in the entertainment industry and have accumulated a lot of network resources.

…………

Jerry and Gwynnie's days were short-lived, less than a week before and after.

With a phone call from Paul, the old butler, he had to end his vacation early and return to Los Angeles with Gwyneth.

While Jerry was all about filming, the old butler Paul Don was also running around, busy buying a small film company for him.

After repeated screening, Paul Sr. finally selected an independent production company named Chris, which is small in scale, with a total of 50 management personnel and a production team, and has acquired more than 200 films, more than 1,000 scripts and film and television adaptation copyrights since its establishment three years ago.

Chris Films made 12 independent films independently, and only eight films were released, all of which were screened in village theaters and failed to make it to mainstream theaters.

After Paul Sr. chose this company, he called Jerry to inform him and asked to come and give Jerry all the works they shot to Jerry.

Chris Film Company is not large, and it has been losing money since its inception, and it would be good if it could make money if it lost money, but unfortunately it couldn't even be heard.

Old Chris's original intention of starting a film company was just to realize his dream when he was young, and he lost more than 5 million in three years, and finally couldn't hold on, so he was in a hurry to sell the company, after all, one more day means more losses.

Back in the apartment, Jerry carefully looked at the company materials carefully prepared by Paul Sr., and found that Chris's company actually has commendable points, such as the production team is very professional, the quality of the film is very good, and the photography is also in place, whether it is photography technology or lighting set, it is above the standard line.

The root cause of the failure is that the movie script is too bad, the plot is empty, the lack of creativity, and it relies on the explicit performance of the actress scratching her head and the lengthy line dialogue, and the film is edited out of more than 100 minutes, and the production mode is still stuck in Marilyn Monroe's era, which is incompatible with mainstream films, no wonder the film can only be screened in the village theater for a few days after the production is completed.

Paul Sr. has already made an offer for a $3.8 million wholly-owned acquisition.

The elder Chris hesitated for more than a month, and finally accepted the price, although he invested nearly 10 million dollars in the company.

The acquisition has been basically negotiated, and the only difference is that Chris Sr. wants to give an explanation to his production team, these people are all highly skilled professionals, and after three years of mixing with him, not only did he not make any achievements, but also made a bad reputation, even if he wanted to change jobs, he could not get a high salary.

Chris Sr. meant that he wanted Jerry to take over the entire company, not only the equipment and library, but also the production team and staff.

After reading the information, Jerry shook his head and said: "A good company for old Chris to run like this, this old man really has a character, he would rather lose money than shoot the script he likes, but after filming, he found that his taste was too bad and his thinking was too old, even so, he still did not change, so that he lost a mess." ”

Old Paul nodded and smiled: "Who says it's not? But old Chris is very rich, he made hundreds of millions of dollars in his early years as a miner, and he has worked in gold, iron and coal mines. Now he was disheartened and didn't want to toss anymore, and he was already in his seventies, so he decided to sell the company. ”

Jerry's eyes fell on the last page of the acquisition offer, and he asked while thinking: "We can set up a film company by ourselves, you know my original intention, is to get a shell company, legal tax avoidance, I never thought about making the company bigger and stronger."

After all, the American film market is firmly controlled by the seven major film companies, and it is difficult for other companies to get ahead, let alone to the extent they are now.

In addition, our Don family is involved in many industries, such as arms, banks, petroleum, automobiles, newspapers, and other projects, all of which have a large amount of investment. ”

Old Paul smiled and said, "It seems that you know a lot about the family's investment, and the old man will be very happy if he hears it."

The acquisition fee was mainly used to buy the shooting equipment and film library in the hands of Chris Sr., for which I specifically studied the market situation, from shooting to post-production to small screening room, if the whole set of equipment were to be purchased again, 3.8 million dollars may not be enough.

When Chris Sr. set up the company, he bought the latest equipment, set up a special effects studio, and hired five special effects production masters with a high salary, and the price we paid was actually 50% depreciation.

In addition, Chris's film distribution department is quite good, the films produced by their company cannot be released in mainstream theaters, but the films they acquired are distributed in major theaters, and several of them have grossed more than $10 million. ”

Speaking of this, old Paul said with a smile: "Old Chris has been married four times, and recently divorced, he has only one daughter, and he is married to Europe, and now although there is no shortage of women around him, he is too suspicious and suspicious of women to seize his property, so he is actually a loner."

I carefully studied his personality and temperament, and I have been friends with him for more than two months, and I made this offer after understanding his mind.

In other words, if it weren't for the fact that he was not short of money, and he was still dreaming of movies when he was young, it would be impossible to buy his film company at this price, and it would take at least twice the price to complete the acquisition. ”

Jerry thought for a moment and said, "So, old Chris is now in a hurry to get rid of this burden, but because he owes too much to his team and delays their future, he agreed to sell it to us?"

Old Paul smiled meaningfully: "People are always kind-hearted, maybe they were too domineering when they were young, the older Old Chris is, the softer his heart becomes, this time he is a conscience and has done a good deed."

Of course, the reason why he is willing to accept such a low price and sell us a company with a market value of tens of millions of dollars is because he knows that you are the eldest grandson of the Tang family, and he knows that the old man is very fond of you.

Many things can't just be seen on the surface, a businessman like Chris Sr. who has made a fortune from scratch has his own rules for doing things, especially now that he is old, he values not only money, but people. ”

Hearing this, Jerry knew what he should decide, and leaned over to sign the acquisition agreement, in triplicate.

After signing, he smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, I will go over on the day of the handover, and the rest will depend on you Zhang Luo." Since our company has its own production team, we can't waste it, I don't have high requirements, just produce and distribute one movie a year, only in this way can we keep the company running, otherwise we will lose money like old Chris. ”

Old Paul smiled and nodded, "I was about to tell you, this new film you starred in is the first film shot by our company, and now that the film is finished, the crew will be disbanded, if you have eye-catching talents, you might as well recruit them, and I will look for them again."

Oh, by the way, I have a talent in film and television production and am going to hire him as the general manager of the company. ”

"Oh?" Jerry was a little surprised, and muttered: "I wanted to hand over the company to you to take care of, but I didn't expect you to find another general manager, how about others, can you trust it?"

Paul Sr. smiled: "I'm okay with investment and finance, but I'm a layman in film and television production, and professional things have to be handled by professionals."

As for the quality of his character, it doesn't matter, as long as he is really talented and can help the company make money, everything else is trivial, we will not lose a penny of the money he should take, and he will not spend it even if he dares to take it!"

Jerry smiled after hearing this: "Uncle Tang, this sounds comfortable and domineering! Since this is the case, I am relieved, post-production has begun, I will go over in the afternoon, and we will contact by phone." ”

"Well, you're busy, and the company's business will be done soon. Old Paul nodded and smiled, picked up the document and turned around to go out, just took two steps and turned back and said: "By the way, Brian seems to have something to look for you, you didn't answer his phone call last night, you took the time to call him back." ”
