Two days after Tsang Wah Chin's birthday, Lui Juewen and Sophie Marceau left Hong Kong Island together and headed for Los Angeles in the United States. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This time I came to Los Angeles, but it was the second part of Lei Juewen's preparation to shoot Chainsaw Horror, in addition to some commercial things that he needed to deal with, although there were special people to do specific things, but some major things were for him to decide.

There are actually three main roles in the second part of Saw Horror, that is, police officer Eric Matthew, Jigsaw and Amanda Young, among which Jigsaw and Amanda Young directly use the actors of the previous one, only the role of Eric Matthew needs to find a new actor, but Saw Horror does not need to be a famous movie star, and his acting skills do not need to be high, so it is not difficult to find.

For the actor's audition, Lei Juewen handed over all the roles to Moss Elt, he had already told Moss Elt about the roles he needed, and I believe that Moss Elt would not let him down and be able to find the role he wanted.

When he came to Los Angeles, Lei Juewen first played with Sophie Marceau for a day, and then let her play by herself, and he went to United Pictures.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark is currently in its sixth week of screening, and although the film can still collect some box office, it has little box office potential, and after this week's screening, it will be released for another week next week, and the film will be released in North America."

In the general manager's office of Luen Mei Pictures, President Nova Retus is reporting to Lei Juewen.

"So far, Raiders of the Lost Ark has grossed $223 million in North America, and it can fetch between $15 million and $20 million this week and next, so the total North American box office will be about $240 million."

At present, the film has been released in thirteen countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., and will be released in some countries in the future, the film's current cumulative overseas box office is 104 million US dollars, and it is expected that the total overseas box office may be 200 million US dollars, but the overseas box office share will not be as much as that of North America, so the profit will not be too much."

"The peripheral aspects of the film, such as TV broadcasts, posters, mold licensing, etc., have brought $43 million in profits to the company, and there will be other profit points in the later stage, such as the videotapes that occupy the majority of the money, and the videotapes alone will bring tens of millions of dollars in profits to the company, and it will be necessary to see the sales at that time."

Listening to Nova Retus, Lei Juewen couldn't help but nod, he was still satisfied with the benefits of Raiders of the Lost Ark. This film alone, the current benefits for him are about one or two hundred million, and there will be more in the future, although it will be divided into Shao Yifu, but it is a small head, and he earns a big head.

"Reiters, what did Spielberg think, would you like to take over the alien film?"

Nova Reiters replied: "I've been in touch with him lately, he's very tempted, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. ”

Lei Juewen frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Have a showdown with him, give him five more days at most to think about it, if he really doesn't want to take over, then find an obedient director, I will give the storyboard script, let the director shoot, and strive to release it after Christmas this year." ”

"After Christmas?"

Nova Retus was stunned for a moment, and then said clearly: "BOSS, you have another film scheduled to be released at Christmas, right?" ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "I will shoot the second part of Home Alone, the second part will be released at Christmas, you know the results of the first part of Home Alone, as long as I shoot the second part well, the box office will not be low." If Aliens is also released at that time, the schedules of the two films collide, and whoever wins, it will not be good for me. ”

Nova Reiters nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I'll contact Steven and urge him to make a decision." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and asked, "Lester, in terms of the acquisition of MGM?" ”

"BOSS, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Corklian didn't mean to sell MGM, but he was willing to cross-hold with the company, and said that he was willing to suffer a loss for a one-to-one swap of shares, and exchange 10% of MGM's shares for 10% of Luen Mei Pictures, because I still want to continue the follow-up relationship, so I haven't reported this matter to you for the time being."

Nova Retus replied that she also has her own thoughts, she is currently the president of United Pictures, if she acquires MGM, MGM will inevitably be merged into United Pictures, so that the company she manages will be larger, and I am afraid that she will be respected among the eight Hollywood majors.

"It's nothing, I thought for a long time that Corklian wouldn't sell MGM so easily, and it's normal for him not to sell it."

Lei Juewen waved his hand, and then said: "But just swap shares, it's not good to say, MGM is now the time when the sun is waning, and Luen Mei Pictures is the rising sun, exchanging the shares of Luen Mei Pictures for MGM shares, I will not do this kind of stupid thing." ”

"If you say that, then I have the bottom in my heart."

Nova Reiters nodded, knowing that the acquisition of MGM could only be made in dollars, not in the form of share swaps.

"Don't be too concerned about the acquisition of MGM, 21st Century Fox can also be a target, and the other Hollywood Big Eight are the same, even if you can't buy it, it's okay, don't care too much."

Lei Juewen waved his hand and said, then said with a straight face: "Letus, next help me collect the information of the American TV network, I am going to buy a TV network, there is a ready-made best, if there is no ready-made, there is also a mid-range TV station with satellite signals." ”

"Do you want to buy a television network? At present, the American TV industry is almost occupied by the three giants, although not all of these three giants are in a profitable state, but it is not easy to acquire them, and it is absolutely difficult to do it without more than a billion dollars, not to mention..."

Speaking of this, Nova Retston paused, looked at Lei Juewen and said: "BOSS, I personally don't have any opinion on your identity as an Oriental, but if you want to acquire the Big Three, it will be absolutely difficult to succeed, and your identity will become an obstacle." ”

"I know this, and I'll talk about it when I need it."

Lei Juewen nodded and said that he understood, don't talk about him, when Murdoch established the Fox TV network, because of the relationship between News Corporation, he was not still going to become a citizen of the United States, and he, Lei Juewen, an Oriental, would definitely be troubled in this regard, unless he also became an American citizen. Lei Juewen does not reject American nationality, he is now a British citizen, and it is nothing to get an American nationality, but at that time, there is no need for that.
