"MGM involvement?" said Tom Thornberg, confused.

Jon Fittimmel pointed to the computer: "See for yourself, the TMZ website has just been exposed." ”

Tom Thornberg walked up to the computer, and on the computer page was Chen Tian and Eric Lomis, MGM's distribution manager.

The headline on the page is prominently "MGM Secretly Buried the Director Alive": "MGM, who has been in trouble in recent years, has not been able to find a way to save himself, and has found nothing at the MarchΓ© du Film."

Industry insiders estimate that if MGM fails to solve the status quo within two years, the nearly 100-year-old film giant will not be able to escape the fate of being acquired and enter the long river of history.

This afternoon, the reporter of this site found that MGM distribution manager Eric Lomis's secret debut "Buried Alive" has achieved hundreds of millions of dollars in North America, and the global total box office has exceeded 150 million Chinese director Justin Chen.

More than a month ago, it was revealed that Justin Chen was working on a new film, Little Sunshine Beauty, and it is not difficult to guess the true purpose of MGM's secret meeting with the Chinese director.

Perhaps MGM hopes to achieve good results with Justin Chen's second work and save the company from declining. ”

Tom Thornberg took a closer look, and the pictures used in the report were solid evidence.

"This thing really doesn't look fake, but it's okay for us to work with him here, I'll call him again, but I'm worried that there will be a problem with the little sunny beauty in the back, and Super Burger King is a documentary. Tom Thornberg mused.

Jon Feltimel nodded, this time he and Tom Thornberg were under a lot of pressure.

After the three of them agreed to Chen's request of 30 percent of the revenue from DVDs and Blu-rays, the company's chief financial officer, James Bucky, was almost rejected.

While they were annoyed that Chen Tian was not satisfied, they could only probe Chen Tian's tone before making a decision.

The release of this news also brought Chen Tian into the sight of many people again, although MGM is now in trouble, it is still a big company.

As MGM competitors, they are happy to see such a picture, and they do not think that Chen Tian, who has created a box office miracle in burying ZΓ o alive, can save MGM from almost terminal illness.

Eric Lomis didn't expect that he would be photographed by the paparazzi when he went to the hospital, and looking at the news on the computer in front of him, he felt that he could use it to do something.

"Justin, oh thank god you finally answered the phone, I've been contacting you for the past two days, but your phone keeps turning off, as a friend I'm really worried about you.

If I knew where your home was, I would definitely go to you, and now that you answered the phone, I can finally rest assured. Tom Thornberg's voice sounded like it was the aftermath.

"I've been busy editing the little beauty of Sunshine for the past two days, and I haven't gone home when my phone is out of battery, sorry to worry you. ”

"As long as you're okay, Justin, I want to sue you and we've decided to do as you say.

Super Burger King: We accept 10 percent and 30 percent of the global box office revenue share for DVD and Blu-ray Discs, what do you think?

Even though we are a small company at Lionsgate, I feel that we are very generous in this regard, and we have had a great time working together before. ”

Chen Tian didn't know that he was photographed by the paparazzi with Eric Lomis, which made Lionsgate very worried that he would turn to MGM.

"No problem, I'm willing to cooperate with Lionsgate, I hope we will still have a happy cooperation this time, you can arrange the specific release time, and I personally recommend building momentum in advance before the release, such as cooperating with relevant media. ”

"Yes, we will study this carefully, and we will tell you when we have a specific release time, but is there good news that Justin has been busy editing for the past two days?"

In contrast, Tom Thornberg is more concerned with the $8 million cost of the sunshine girl than the $100,000 documentary Super Burger King.

"Yes, I didn't sleep for two whole days, and then I was done. ”

"I haven't slept for two days, Justin, you're working too hard, it's not good for your health. ”

Listening to Tom Thornberg's words, Chen Tian laughed: "Yes, it's very uncomfortable, I don't want to try this feeling a second time." ”

"Justin, when you're free to bring Lionsgate, we can't wait to see it, I think it must be excellent. ”

"Tom, I want to take it too, but this time there's an opportunity, and that's the New York Film Festival.

I sent it over, and if it's a good thing, it's going to have its world premiere there. ”

"New York Film Festival? send it over now, how is this possible?" Tom Thornberg is an industry insider naturally knows the rules in this regard, but Chen Tian must have done it when he said this, and he suddenly thought of MGM, "MGM helped out, right?"

Chen Tian didn't want to deny this fact: "Yes, they helped, and I felt that it was an opportunity, so I didn't refuse." ”

"And you're working with them?" said Tom Thornberg.

"No, it's not definite yet, but I don't want to deny that this is a really rare opportunity, and I think you'll understand.

Whether or not I can go to New York, I'll give Lionsgate the same opportunity as MGM, and I hope you can understand that. ”

Chen Tian didn't want to break up with the Lionsgate because of this time, after all, the Lionsgate still gave him a lot of help.

Tom Thornberg felt a little better when he heard this, after all, it is better to have the opportunity to compete together than not to have the opportunity to compete.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Tian did not go home directly, but took the little guy to the pet hospital for examination.

The result is that the little guy's left hind leg is congenital, so there is no way to treat it at all, and Chen Tian accepts this result.

Seeing the little guy's eyes staring at him, Chen Tian smiled and stretched out his hand.

The little guy looked very sensible, and when he saw Chen Tian stretching out his hand, he immediately leaned his head up.

"You're officially with me from today onwards, little one. Chen Tian picked it up, "I will give you a name called Ada, what does it mean to be noble?"

The little one seemed pleased with the name and barked softly.

Under the guidance of the veterinarian, Chen Tian knew what such a big Akita dog should eat and how to take care of it, and after going to get the relevant documents, Chen Tian returned to Chinatown with the little one.

At this time, Eric Lomis revealed to reporters that Chen Tian's new film will touch the hearts of countless people, and Chen Tian worked for 48 hours in a row for this sunny little beauty and once fainted on the road and almost had an accident.

Soon the news spread throughout the United States, touching the hearts of countless people, and this sentence made Eric Lomis and Chen Tian the main reasons for being attacked.

And Chen Tian fainted on the side of the road and was described by some media as a disgusting show, and many people even stood up directly to criticize it.

Sean Brown, a well-known film critic for the Los Angeles Times, told the press: "I can almost imagine that his reason for saying that is nothing more than a hype for the film."

Fainting on the side of the road sounds ridiculous, and I don't think a movie that teaches underage striptease will touch everyone's heart.

Maybe I can understand why MGM is so down, because they have a group of discerning management. ”

Eric Lomis was not angry at all when he looked at the critical news, and now he wanted to discuss both good and bad, so that the little sunny beauty would receive more attention.

Scarlett, who was far away in Venice, also saw the news, and she didn't think Eric Lomis was telling a lie.

Without thinking about it, Scarlett gave up her plans to rest in Europe for a few days and immediately bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles.
