…

The lights in the screening room came on.

The executives of Universal Pictures looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes!

Jeffrey Gracie, the director of distribution, couldn't wait: "I think this film should be the focus of our company's distribution!"

An opposing voice immediately sounded: "I don't agree with this film to be divided into the theaters of "Time and Space Police", "Time and Space Police" is the hope of our Universal Pictures, if this movie is divided into the theaters of "Time and Space Police", our Universal Pictures will have to be at the bottom this year, and the stock will inevitably fall at that time." ”

The crowd looked at the owner of the voice, Operations Officer Douglas Gracie.

Douglas Gray said: "Everyone, the starring roles of "Time and Space Police" are Shange, Mia, and Bruce, three white people, they are undoubtedly more popular with Americans, and there are two yellow-skinned monkeys in the starring role of "Fast and Furious", and most of the supporting characters are black, oh God, how can such a film be liked by the American people?"

Ron Meyer said lightly: "Douglas, can't you see which of these two movies is better?

Douglas Gray said without showing weakness: "Whether the movie sells or not, can it only be good or bad, Shange is one of the most popular action stars in Hollywood, his 360-degree slalom kick will make men scream and women high, Sara is a famous sexy baby in Hollywood, and Bruce is a famous mainstay in Hollywood, their combination will definitely make "Time and Space SWAT" a big hit, and "Fast and Furious" Oh my God, from the director to the actors, there is no one I know, and I'm sure you are the same, who would go into the cinema and watch a movie like this?"

Ron Meyer mocked: "I doubt Douglas even more about your professional ability, as long as we publicize it properly, how can no one go into the cinema to watch this movie? Then they will be attracted by this rare good movie in Hollywood, and then it will be spread ten, ten and hundred, and countless people will go into the cinema to watch "Fast and Furious", "Fast and Furious" will make a lot of money for our company, and our company's stock will also increase in value, and everyone will become ......rich at that time."

Douglas Gray met Ron Meyer's gaze and said, "Long, you shouldn't be an operations officer, you should be a screenwriter, I think that's more suitable for you." Then Douglas Gray no longer looked at Ron Meyer but at the top executives of Universal Pictures, and said: "Everyone, I have to remind you that the 28 million production cost of "Time and Space Police" is all invested by our company, and it completely belongs to our company, and our company only invested 5 million in "Fast and Furious", and our company can only share one-eighth of the box office of the producer, and our company does not have the copyright ...... of "Fast and Furious"

In this regard, Fast and Furious really does not have an advantage.

Ron Meyer knew he had to find a helper or he could lose to Douglas Gray.

Ron Meyer glanced at Jeffrey Gracie, and then said leisurely: "Although we only invested one-eighth of "Fast and Furious", we only gave 19% to the producer, and the distribution proportion is very high. ”

Hearing Ron Mayer say that the producer of "Fast and Furious" is only 19 percent, Jeffrey Gracie immediately made his little calculation in his heart!

For the issuance of "Time and Space Special Police", the distribution fee can account for up to 11%.

For the release of "Fast and Furious", the distribution fee can account for 21%.

For the distribution department alone, the release of "Fast and Furious" can produce results, so that the distribution department can have more space, and it can also show his Jeffrey Gray's ability more.

Thinking of this, Jeffrey Gracie said: "From the perspective of distribution, I am more optimistic about "Fast and Furious", it is a standard Hollywood movie, bloody, passionate, shocking, I can see that my whole person is burning, with my seventeen years of distribution experience, as long as there are enough theaters and enough publicity money, "Fast and Furious" can get at least 100 million box office. ”

Seeing Jeffrey Gracie standing on Ron Meyer's side, Douglas Gray said secretly: "It's broken!", and then immediately said: "Hey, Jeffrey, you can't just take care of the interests of your distribution department, our company is a whole ......"

Jeffrey Gracie's face sank, and then he said displeased: "I'm just thinking about our company, I think that the release of "Fast and Furious" can make our company get greater benefits, on the contrary, I think Douglas you have selfish intentions, who doesn't know, "Time and Space Police" is the ...... you single-handedly promoted."

Douglas Gray said angrily, "You!"

Ron Meyer saw the opportunity to make up for it: "So far, Paramount Pictures' "Forrest Gump" has sold 329.7 million, "Burning Pursuit" has sold 122 million, Disney Pictures' "The Lion King" has sold 312.8 million, Twentieth Century Fox's "True Lies" has sold 146 million, "Life and Death" has sold 120 million, and New Line Films' "Dumb and Dumb" has sold 120 million, and "Strange Jack in Disguise" sold 119 million, even the "Vulgar" of small film companies such as Miramax Pictures sold 100 million and 8 million, and what about Universal Pictures, so far, the best-selling movie, only sold more than 40 million, everyone, I really don't understand, what else do we have to fight for, should we let "Fast and Furious", a movie that can sell at least 100 million, go to other companies to cooperate and release "Time and Space Police", a movie without any guarantees, I think Warner Pictures, MGM Pictures, Columbia Pictures and United Pictures are very willing to see us make this stupid mistake, by the way, Lee is still a singer under Warner Records, and it is not difficult for him to turn to Warner Pictures, and it is not necessary that Warner Pictures may co-screen "Fast and Furious" in its entirety. ”

Douglas Gray has a very bad premonition!

Really!

Ken Owen, the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures, who has been wavering, said: "Douglas, let go of your personal dispute with Lang first, "Fast and Furious" is indeed better than "Time and Space Police", and the opportunity is greater, so let's first screen "Fast and Furious" in its entirety to see if "Fast and Furious" can save our company's stock, and wait for "Fast and Furious" to be drawn, and then "Time and Space Police" will be screened in its entirety." ”

Douglas Gray opened his mouth.

Pity!

Ken Owen didn't give Douglas Gray a chance to speak, "I think this matter is settled, and I propose that this incident not be used as a test for Douglas and Long to succeed me......"
