Chapter 303: Good News That Isn't Quite an Accident
"Moreover, in addition to finding one or two dedicated ghostwriters, the plan for "Rush Hour" can also be carried out!" Zhang Junyi patted his cheek with his hand, pulled his mind back from some disdainful thoughts, and muttered to himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Speaking of which, "Home Alone" has been successfully released in major theaters in the United States recently, and the results achieved are also quite good, just like the previous life, which swept the box office in North America at the same time.
A week before the release of the movie, Twentieth Century Fox began to make efforts to promote "Home Alone", and the focus of the efforts was mainly focused on the gambling agreement signed by Zhang Junyi and Twentieth Century Fox.
To be honest, even Twentieth Century Fox didn't expect that as the author of "Jurassic Park", Zhang Junyi is already well-known among the vast number of novel readers in the United States, and even, after "Jurassic Park", Zhang Junyi's later novels are also widely sought after by fans of novels or comics of different ages.
Time returned to the United States half a month ago, at that time Zhang Junyi was still in the United States and did not return to Xiangjiang, but because he was rolling the sheets with Jodie Foster day and night, without shame, Zhang Junyi did not pay attention to many things.
Even the contract to sign the VAM agreement with Twentieth Century Fox was sent by Zhang Junyi to be his exclusive lawyer, and as for the subsequent publicity and other matters, Zhang Junyi was completely handed over to Twentieth Century Fox.
In fact, this is not to say that Zhang Junyi doesn't care about his career at all because of beauty, mainly because Zhang Junyi believes in the professionalism of Twentieth Century Fox, after all, he is one of the "Big Seven" in Hollywood, and the thing he deals with every day is how to better achieve the maximum box office for the movies released by his company.
Even if Zhang Junyi has decades of memories of his previous life, Zhang Junyi doesn't want to make a popular movie in his previous life unsatisfactory because of his layman's guidance to the insider, which will outweigh the losses.
Therefore, Zhang Junyi's explanation to Qiao Senli Gore before leaving was that as long as he was responsible for the legality of the content of the VAM agreement, all other matters would be left to Twentieth Century Fox.
"This morning, a shocking VAM was signed at the headquarters of Colombia's Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, between Zhang, the author of the recent Jurassic Park and several popular novels, and Twentieth Century Fox Films. ā
It is reported that Zhang, the author of the mysterious "Jurassic Park", recently adapted the novel "Home Alone" into a movie, and personally participated in the investment, and in just about a month, a 100-minute low-budget comedy "Home Alone" was filmed. As for whether the mysterious Zhang is not doing his job or is talented, let's wait and see. ā
According to insiders, Mr. Alain Ryder Jr., the head of Twentieth Century Fox, offered $30 million to buy out the rights to "Home Alone," but the mysterious Zhang turned down the tempting offer that would make him Hollywood's youngest millionaire, and instead offered a gambling deal that was both crazy and unexpected. ā
Because the time to sign the VAM contract was in the morning, for the sake of the sensational news, Twentieth Century Fox just signed the game agreement, and publicly released a press conference in the afternoon, the main content of which was based on this crazy VAM agreement, corresponding to not only Zhang Junyi became famous, but even the personal experience of Chris Columbus, the director of "Home Alone", was completely picked up by those reporters.
However, Zhang Junyi is fortunate that his personal experience has not been revealed much, after all, whether it is from Robin Press, Twentieth Century Fox, or even those who know the origin of "Home Alone" crew, it is not beneficial for them to expose their personal information in private, after all, it is quite unwise to offend a rich man in the United States.
However, after Zhang Junyi learned the whole thing, he also had to admire the professionalism of the 20th Century Fox, and that afternoon and the next day, almost all the front pages of entertainment newspapers and magazines detailed the content of the bet between himself and 20th Century Fox, and then analyzed the possibility of winning the bet.
Of course, the authors of these articles are obviously all special insiders hired by major entertainment newspapers and magazines, listing the box office data of a series of comedy movies of the same type, combined with the information revealed by "Home Alone", and coming to a very pessimistic conclusion that he estimates that there is no possibility of winning the gambling agreement.
Regarding Hollywood's unanimous pessimism, even if Zhang Junyi later found out, he just laughed it off, and then left it behind.
At that time, these declining news were nothing compared to the people who accompanied him, and Zhang Junyi would not affect his mood because of these indifferent declining news.
What the common people like the most. is these topical content, so no matter whether the newspapers' comments on Zhang Junyi are good or bad, the purpose of Twentieth Century Fox has been achieved, after all, because of the discussion of the masses, the movie "Home Alone" has become famous with the topicality of Zhang Junyi.
There are even some things that Twentieth Century Fox did not expect, that is, Zhang Junyi's popularity among novel fans, because Zhang Junyi's published novels have achieved quite good results, and even Twentieth Century Fox did not expect it, because the power of fans of the "Home Alone" novel even contributed a lot to the box office of the movie after the movie was released later.
Not good enough is on such a favorable side, which is also what Zhang Junyi and Twentieth Century Fox are willing to see, after all, for the complementarity between novels and movies, it is Zhang Junyi's publishing house and Twentieth Century Fox Film Company that profits.
The public opinion bomb about Zhang Junyi's unscrupulous business and 'brain damage' signing this unreliable VAM agreement suddenly exploded, raising the public's interest in Zhang Junyi and "Home Alone" to the highest point at once.
The interest of the common people means that the sales of the novel "Home Alone" and the upcoming movies in the future, and even the sales of other novels related to Zhang Junyi, after the sales skyrocketed, because the high quality of the novel made up for the praise of the majority of book fans, coupled with Zhang Junyi's somewhat 'brain-dead' behavior, anyway, the topic of Zhang Junyi has been concerned for a period of time after that day.
