Chapter Forty-Eight: Byrne's Visit
On August 6, Lin Han took Huang Fanglin and others to Twentieth Century Fox, and the two sides had an in-depth conversation about the cooperation of the "X-Men" series of films
At this meeting, Lin Han undoubtedly became the only protagonist, everyone was shocked by Lin Han's depiction of the X-Men universe, listening to Lin Han's narration of various details, Hugh Jackman determined that Lin Han did love the X-Men movie very much, otherwise he would not have conducted such an in-depth study.
On August 7, Lin Han signed a package of cooperation agreements with Twentieth Century Fox Pictures on behalf of Williams Films, including the future X-Men series of films, Williams Films will occupy at least half of the investment, and Williams Films will supervise the script and shooting.
This package of cooperation agreements is naturally in a state of strict secrecy at present, because it involves the synopsis of many future X-Men movies, and naturally cannot be leaked lightly.
These secret agreements cannot be made public for the time being, but the news that Williams Films spent $200 million in "X-Men 3" was made public on August 8.
Twentieth Century Fox and Williams Film jointly held a two-hour press conference in Hollywood, at which Lin Han officially proposed the concept of the "X-Men Universe"!
"In the next ten years, Williams Film will join hands with Twentieth Century Fox to launch the X-Men series of movies at a rate of one every two years, and the story of mutants will continue to go on, and I hope you will continue to support us, and we will dedicate better movies to all audiences! Thank you! ”
Lin Han waved his arms impassionedly on the stage, winning a loud cheer from X-Men fans and comic fans in the audience, and the atmosphere was extremely strong!
Hollywood reporters raised their cameras and camcorders to film the scene.
Next, Twentieth Century Fox announced the official launch of "X-Men 3", and confirmed that the subtitle of the film is "Last Stand", and its investment amount is 200 million US dollars, which exceeds the investment cost of "X-Men" (75 million US dollars) and "X-MEN 2" (110 million US dollars) combined!
For Hollywood, this news is undoubtedly a bombshell, and it was rumored that Twentieth Century Fox was preparing to cut the third sequel to the X-Men due to lack of funds, but now as soon as this news came out, the rumors from the outside world suddenly broke themselves!
Immediately afterwards, Twentieth Century Fox announced that the investor of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" is Williams Films, and the two sides will continue to cooperate in future X-Men series movies!
The next day, the Hollywood Observer devoted an entire page to Williams Films' coverage with the huge headline of "Attack of the Tigers of the East", counting its investment in "Batman", to the stunning world at the box office of "Saw Horror", and then to the recent investment in "The Princess Diaries 2", "Batman Returns", and "X-Men: Last Stand"!
At the end of the article, the "Hollywood Observer" concluded: "This film company that is rising rapidly, quite like the style of Galaxy Pictures back then, is this a blessing for Hollywood, or is it another tiger?" ”
I don't know what the reaction of other companies is, but Twentieth Century Fox and Disney Pictures, which have cooperated with Williams Pictures, are quite happy, and others such as Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, and Universal Pictures are looking forward to cooperating with Williams Pictures.
After the rise of Galaxy Pictures, the pattern of the eight major Hollywood film companies dominating the company has become a situation in which Galaxy Pictures is the dominant company and the other eight film companies drink soup.
Today's eight major Hollywood film companies have actually been reduced to the big six, because of the rise of Galaxy Pictures, MGM Pictures and Luen Mei Films, which once created many classics, have gone bankrupt and been acquired by Galaxy Pictures.
Galaxy Pictures' methods are unusually domineering and vicious, with countless money-making films in their hands, and a large number of theaters under its umbrella, the other six major film companies have been squeezed to the point that they can barely breathe, and their market share has shrunk sharply.
However, the strong rise of Williams Films has given hope to the six major Hollywood studios, because unlike the strong and spicy Murdoch of Galaxy Pictures, they prefer the confident but humble Oriental young Lin Han.
Williams Films, led by Lin Han, has made several recent investments, such as "The Princess Diaries 2" and "X-Men: Last Stand", which have really helped Disney Studios and Twentieth Century Fox, making the evaluation of these two companies turn from dangerous to good.
The so-called reciprocation, Williams Films is so good, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox naturally use the relationship to greatly promote Williams Films.
In fact, these guys are not all well-intentioned, and they greatly promote Williams Films, in fact, they want to set up a target, so that the giant Galaxy Pictures will aim their firepower at Williams Films, so as to reduce their pressure.
But to their surprise, Galaxy Pictures did not take Williams Films in their eyes, and Murdoch, the ruler of Galaxy Pictures, was like a god in the clouds, and he didn't care about Williams, a little bug, jumping on the ground!
In any case, the arrival of Williams Film seems to have injected a fresh spring into Hollywood, making Hollywood breeze blowing in its face, and a burst of vitality is sprouting.
After "X-Men 3: Last Stand" announced a high investment of $200 million from Williams Films, the attention of "X-Men 2", which will be released on September 17, has increased again, and Twentieth Century Fox immediately seized the opportunity to urgently add $10 million in publicity expenses, striving to maximize the publicity.
On August 10th, Lin Han's first English single "U-Make-Me-Wanna" was officially released worldwide, and at the same time, the single music MV was also released on YouTube!
On the first day, Lin Han's English single showing love to Anne Hathaway made it to the top three on the US Billboard New Song Chart!
At the same time, the music video for the single music video of "U-Make-Me-Wanna", which is full of celebrities, received more than one million views on the first day of its release on YouTube, and the number of views exceeded 10 million on the second day!
This achievement, firstly, is because the quality of the song is very good, and secondly, because this music MV gathers Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon, Ben Aver Clerming, Natalie Portman and other Hollywood celebrities, and the fans of these people are enough to create this amazing result!
In short, Lin Han's first English single was a huge success, and in China, Lin Han's fans left messages on Lin Han's Weibo saying that Lin Han finally did something right.
The number one die-hard fan Ruge Zhang Jingjing said in the comments: "The man that my mother likes is really powerful, this is the rhythm that wants to dominate the music scene in the East and the West, Lin Han, my mother supports you!! ”
Although "Ruge" Zhang Jingjing is the leader of the fan group, other female fans also shouted "Lin Han is not alone, Lin Han is the world and ours!" ”
"Hahaha, Lin, your fans are so funny!" In the evening, Anne Hathaway leaned on Lin Han, Lin Han held a laptop and translated the interesting comments of his fans to Anne sentence by sentence, which made Anne so happy that she laughed and sobbed, and the goddess style had already been lost to Java.
Suddenly, Lin Han's communication window shook, and Lin Han clicked on it, because those who could add him were trustworthy people, but Lin Han didn't expect that after clicking on it, a beautiful woman's uniform seduction photo would occupy half of the computer screen, in the photo, the beauty was wearing a sailor suit, revealing a thin waist and the lower circumference of two mutton fat jade-like hemispheres, two long legs wrapped in half thin white stockings, plus that angelic face, it is definitely a save that can make a man have a nosebleed!
Lin Han knew something bad as soon as he saw the photo, and if he looked closely, Nima, isn't this the guy who took away his first kiss from Zhang Jingjing? As Lin Han's number one die-hard fan, Zhang Jingjing does have Lin Han's communication number, but can't you pick a separate time to send it?
"Annie, listen to me, this is my number one die-hard fan, helping me manage a lot of things, but we are completely innocent, and we have a pure relationship between fans and celebrity idols!" Yes, don't worry about anything, Lin Han opened his mouth and explained to Anne Hathaway, although he was a little weak when he said the word "innocent", is it really a pure relationship? What's the deal with that kiss?
In this regard, Lin Han defended himself: It was all before the relationship with Anne Hathaway was established, and it was not considered a betrayal!
Anne Hathaway listened to Lin Han's explanation quietly, and after half a sound, she dropped the sentence "I'll take a shower first" and walked into the bathroom, which made Lin Han scratch his head a little, quite like a hot pot ant!
But Anne Hathaway didn't say anything after she came out of the shower, just asked Lin Han to take a bath too, Lin Han quickly packed himself up, and as soon as he went out, he met Anne Hathaway's hot kiss!
This night, Anne Hathaway was very crazy, her two long legs wrapped tightly around Lin Han, as if she wanted to squeeze Lin Han dry, and in the end, Lin Han was disarmed one after another, hugging Anne Hathaway and falling asleep.
"You're my man, always, I'm your woman, always, I want you to remember that!" The next day, when Lin Han opened his eyes, Anne Hathaway said softly to Lin Han, at that moment, Lin Han's heart melted, and he kissed Anne emotionally......
When the war was about to be ignited again, Lin Han's mobile phone rang, Lin Han was quite annoyed, but Anne was relieved, she tossed all night last night, and she was still sour and soft! At that moment, Anne got up with a smile and ran to the bathroom, escaping Lin Han's clutches.
Lin Han looked at it, yes, there was no play, so he could only pick up his mobile phone with his head bored, and when he saw it, there was a call
