Glendale.

In the office of Xu Cun of DreamWorks (US G Branch).

Xu Cun put down the financial statements brought by Jeffrey and said, "It's not bad, I made a profit of more than 14 million US dollars." ā€

Jeffrey said sourly: "If the boss didn't sell the rights to "ET" and "Home Alone" to Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, the financial statements would look better!"

Xu Cun looked at Jeffrey and smiled, "Old fellow Jeffrey, are you accusing me?"

Jeffrey shrugged and said, "I just think it's a pity that these two series are series that can make a lot of money." Well...... If you can, I also hope that the boss will not sell the rights to Back to the Future again. You know, our DreamWorks hasn't had a single ace movie until now. ā€

Xu Cun looked at Jeffrey and said, "Are you so confident in "Back to the Future"?"

Jeffrey shook his head and said, "I have confidence in your talent, boss!"

Listening to Jeffrey's sycophant, Xu Cun smiled and said, "I will consider your suggestion." ā€

After a pause, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey, "How is your "Mermaid" filmed?"

Jeffrey replied, "It's more than half of the way through, and you know, making a cartoon doesn't take more time than making a movie." Well...... I think it will be released at the end of the year or early next year. ā€

Xu Cun nodded, and then said, "What about Cameron's "Terminator"?"

Jeffrey complained, "Cameron is the slowest director I know of to make a movie! It's been eight months, he's only halfway there, and 'The Terminator' is over budget." ā€

Xu Cun shook his head slightly and said, "It's slow enough, but if Cameron can make a good movie for us to make money, then his excesses are not unforgivable." ā€

Jeffrey nodded and said, "I've seen the part that was filmed, it's not bad, it should have a good box office." ā€

Xu Cun said: "That's good...... By the way, have you received any good movies lately?"

Jeffrey handed over the seven or eight scripts that had been prepared long ago to Xu Cun, and said: "There are a few good ones, such as "Ghostbusters" and "Little Devils", "Ghostbusters......" is a very good adventure movie, the only bad thing is that it has a budget of 30 million US dollars, but Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis have already received 15 million dollars from Columbia Pictures, and now they are short of 15 million dollars...... In comparison, the investment for "Little Devil" is much smaller, and Joe Dent said that "Little Devil" only needs 10 million production costs. "Little Monster" is one of the most beautiful scripts I've seen in years, and I wanted to buy it and have Joe Dent direct it. ā€

For Jeffrey's keen vision, Xu Cun nodded secretly!

But-

Xu Cun didn't say anything immediately.

It wasn't until Xu Cun hastily read all the scripts that Jeffrey brought him that he said: "The $15 million that "Ghostbusters" lacks can be released by DreamWorks, but we want all the copyrights of "Ghostbusters", huh...... At least half of the copyright of "Ghostbusters" must be requested. "Little Devil"...... Vote for him, and you can also let Joe Dante be the director of "Little Devil", but we must own the full copyright of Little Devil. ā€

Then, Xu Cun took out a script from the seven or eight scripts, and said: ""Out of Africa" actually adapts the four novels "Out of Africa", "Shadow on the Grass", "Isaac Danson, the Life of a Novelist", and "Silence Will Be Broken", which is a bit interesting...... How much does it cost?"

Jeffrey said, "At least thirty million." I suggest that the boss should think carefully about it - "Out of Africa" is a documentary in its bones after all, and the American people don't like documentaries. ā€

Xu Cun looked at Jeffrey and asked, "Then why did you show me the script of "Out of Africa"?"

Jeffrey shrugged, "Well, I'll admit, I was drawn to the plot of Out of Africa. ā€

Xu Cun smiled and said: "Since it can attract you Jeffrey, then "Out of Africa" is worth our investment." ā€

Jeffrey said: "I think I have an obligation to remind you that DreamWorks (the United States G branch) does not have the funds to invest in these three films at the same time, and our liquidity is only enough to invest in one movie." ā€

Xu Cungu said helplessly: "Then you can pick one, and the other two are my personal investments, according to the previous rules." ā€

(DreamWorks (US G Branch) has 10% of Jeffrey's shares, so the results of Xu Cun's personal investment and DreamWorks (US G Branch) are different - all the money earned by Xu Cun's personal investment in movies belongs to Xu Cun, and Xu Cun only needs to pay DreamWorks (US G Branch) some affiliated management fees at the market price.) Xu Cun only owns 90% of the money made from the movies invested by DreamWorks (US G Branch), and Jeffrey owns 10%, and Xu Cun does not have to pay the management fee. )

Jeffrey didn't even think about it, so he said, "I choose "Little Devil". Apparently, Jeffrey had long been optimistic about "Little Devil".

……

Michael J. Fox, who plays Marty, the actor of "Back to the Future", has signed on to star in the TV series "The Birth of a Family". The producers of "The Birth of a Family" decided that Fox was crucial to the success of the series and refused to let Michael J. Fox play the lead role in "Back to the Future", especially when more than half of the footage of "Back to the Future" had to be filmed in Hong Kong. Later, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis repeatedly discussed with the producers of "The Birth of a Family" before winning Michael J. Fox to join "Back to the Future", but only if the filming of "The Birth of a Family" was ensured first.

In this regard, Xu Cun wanted to replace Michael J. Fox willfully, but Michael J. Fox's Marty did impress Xu Cun very much, and Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis kept lobbying Xu Cun that Michael J. Fox must be the best candidate for Marty, so Xu Cun pinched his nose and agreed to let Michael J. Fox join "Back to the Future".

Claudia Wells, who plays Marty's girlfriend Jennifer, was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and came to Meig after graduating - she is a Meig girl who grew up in Asia.

Prior to this, Sloveia had only played a role in two American dramas and one TV show, and had never played a major role.

The reason why Claudia, who is so inexperienced, was able to get the role of Jennifer was all because of Xu Cun's support.

That's right, the big pervert Xu Cun fell in love with Claudia again.
