Caesar finally had a clear understanding of "precociousness", during a lunch break on the set, when she saw that there were no outsiders in the lounge between the two, little Liv actually told Sù Caesar that she had long known what "Tong Er, what kind of daughter-in-law" meant, and she had been looking forward to that day for a long time...... Then it was interrupted by Caesar.

The wind has been so tight lately, don't make a mess of your little girl! Please let it go!

Attention to Caesar has dropped a lot, and some media outlets are very interested in those who target Caesar.

Why does the United States claim to be a free country? It is because as long as you don't commit a crime, no one can force others to do anything, especially the use of public power to force others, and Americans are particularly vigilant.

Will Smith starred in "The Enemy of the People", which is about "individuals directing public power to harm innocent individuals".

Including the "Watergate scandal", the anger of American citizens is not that they are spying on their opponents, but that Nixon actually uses civil servants to do private affairs for the sake of campaigning!?

The fact that Caesar was "encircled and suppressed" did not make a big deal was because no public authority had exerted any pressure on Caesar, and even if there was a mastermind behind it, it was only a personal grudge at best.

Even if the media tried to connect the matter with the public authorities, they could not find a breakthrough, and in the end they had to stop it.

Eisner really didn't use the energy of "big dukes", such as the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Petty fights and ask some uniformed people to harass? Don't say that these uniforms are not happy, even if they are willing, do you want to give Caesar some color for this little thing? It's not shameful enough.

The turmoil gradually subsided, and the filming of the two parts of "Home Alone" is nearing the end.

Caesar, who has a golden finger, has the nickname of "magician" in the film industry with only one movie, just because the shooting speed is unprecedented, and it will be enough to choke people in the future.

The scary thing is that Caesar is often based on the original version of the database in his head, and he also has to review the material every night with excellence, and when the goofs and bugs are found, he has to make up the shot the next day.

Otherwise, Caesar's shooting speed can surpass that of some super fast directors in Xiangjiang.

Although the filming was nearing the end, the publicity was not in a hurry, and Caesar discussed with Universal, and finally set the premiere for Christmas in 1988 in order to meet the occasion.

The crew of "Home Alone" started filming on January 3, 1988, and it is certain that it will definitely be completed before February 15, two films.

That's what shocked Hollywood, the speed of magic.

This means that "Home Alone 1" has a promotional period of nearly ten months, and Universal can calmly arrange the publicity plan.

As for whether the world is in a hurry to withdraw funds? Not at all.

The combined cost of the two films is less than 20 million, and most of them are the salaries of the crew.

Caesar took a total of 5 million from the director's salary of the two films, Liv Taylor took a symbolic 100,000 upfront, and the rest of Caesar helped her ask for 5% of the box office and merchandise share.

Although Caesar has proven his ability to pass the box office of a movie, Home Alone is indeed Caesar's first children's comedy film in the family carnival genre.

"Alien" is a space horror film, and "Angels in the World" belongs to the love fairy tale of adults.

"Max Payne" is Caesar's first directorial work, and it is a iron-blooded action film with a strong personal style, and the style gap between this film and "Home Alone" is too big.

The reason why Universal agreed to Caesar's 5% share for Liv was to share the risk.

Originally, they wanted to give Caesar a share agreement instead of cash, but Caesar refused.

It's not that he doesn't like money, it's that he doesn't want to take too much, he uses appropriate restraint to maintain a stable relationship between the two sides, and when Fox has any major disasters and small disasters in the future, he doesn't expect the other party to help, he can just watch from the wall and not fall into the well.

Of course, Caesar didn't want to make concessions and make the other party a fool, and he explained the reason why he didn't want to divide it on the spot.

The high-level internal discussion at Universal Pictures on the matter was:

"Caesar's subtext is that Home Alone is an absolute hit? His act of not sharing is tantamount to giving us money? Who does he think he is? ”

"He's so confident! On what basis does he think his film will definitely be a box office hit?

"Because he's Caesar Lee, that's reason enough." After Jaws and E.T., Spiel Berg became an advisor to the world's top executives, although he rarely spoke.

But this time, the famous Jewish director expressed his opinion in a rare way.

"What else can we do but believe in him? At least until he fails, his self-confidence is well-founded. ”

Steven was right, although it takes a lot of courage to go crazy with him, but so far, the companies he has worked with have not tasted failure.

"We have to be cautious, and even though Caesar has only one directorial film, his conditions are not excessive...... That's it, I'll take the responsibility. Ron Meyer took over as global president early of the year because of his efforts to turn the tide in the Murdoch takeover.

He didn't expect that the first thing he did when he took office was the dilemma given by Caesar, whether to give a share or to give cash......

The little protagonist has already taken 5%, and then gives Caesar a share, if the film is a big hit, the façade of Universal will be folded...... If you give cash, the film will lose money in the end, and Caesar's salary will be enough to slap her face.

In the mid-eighties, the five million dollar director's salary, although it was two, was staggering enough.

How much did Stallone take? Million? That's the salary of a top action superstar! Not the director's.

Inflation has just begun, and the dollar is not so worthless.

When Caesar directed "Max Payne", he established absolute authority in the contract, and there was no editor, he was a writer, director, and editor at the same time. He is the absolute core of the entire crew, and the producer just watches from the sidelines and talks less.

If you dare to point fingers, Lao Tzu will stop doing it!

Caesar's attitude many times is, I'm not short of money, let me be a director, don't interfere, don't force me to pick a pick. It's written in the contract, it doesn't give me full authority, and I have the freedom to leave at any time.

At first, this agreement was made because Fox took a fancy to the script of "Max Payne", but after taking the script around, it was found that because the personal style of the script was too strong, all the directors refused, and in the end, the director could only fall on Caesar himself.

If it weren't for the poor management of Fox at that time, and he wanted to gamble in order to get out of the predicament, Caesar wanted to be a director, at least after acquiring Fox.

Once this precedent is set, do you want to close it again? Caesar didn't do it.

So "Home Alone" also added a clause to the contract that Caesar was solely responsible for the film. If the producer dares to intervene, Caesar will flash unconditionally.

When encountering a director like Caesar, who is worth more than the boss of the producer, whether it is Fox at that time or Universal now, the management has the illusion of a dog.

"Home Alone" was completed on February 13, two parts.

Caesar called for Blackwater security and returned to his home in Beverly Hills with the film.

It took a week to cut out the two films, and at the same time, the soundtrack was ready, and after leaving two backups, it was handed over to Universal for post-production.

Since then, the pre-production of "Home Alone" has been completely completed, and Caesar is not responsible for the dubbing, soundtrack, subtitles, etc.

Before school started, Caesar took Liv, Bea, and Emily to play for several days.

also deliberately took Liv to "California Disneyland" to play, and after returning home, the little girl still hadn't calmed down from the excitement, and seized the opportunity to hug Caesar's face and kiss her.

Caesar, who is not ashamed, can't resist it, and often blushes.

However, a trip to "California Disneyland" reminded Caesar of many overlooked things.

Caesar thought of "Mickey Mouse Club" from Disneyland, then Christina Aguilera ------ "Rubbing Mom", Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears......

Then Caesar remembered American Idol, Britain's Got Talent, The Voice, X-Phoneme, Survival in the Wild, Running Man, Survivor, America's Top Model, Mythbuster......

Thinking of the names of these shows, Caesar couldn't sit still.

Some differences between the previous life and this life have begun to show up with their own actions, so will some popular programs appear in advance?

According to Caesar's knowledge, famous game companies like EA and Ubisoft were founded a year or two earlier than they remember.

You can no longer think that because of "foresight" or "golden fingers", others can only follow behind you as a matter of course, and you must take the initiative to attack.

Caesar had a brief discussion with Emily and Bea, and then sped up his actions.

First of all, he named the entire team responsible for running VGL under FFF "DreamWorks Studios", in addition to the operation of VGL, he is also responsible for the operation of all talent shows under Caesar, with Emily as the general leader.

Bea was in charge of the Angel Foundation, so Caesar didn't let her participate.

Then Caesar remembered Fox TV, which was the asset that was packaged with the acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox, which is now Caesar's property.

Caesar was ready to merge MTV and FOX to become the FOX network, and MTV became the first sub-station of the FOX network.

Then Caesar plans to spin off the live game channel from MTV, put it under the FOX TV network, and change it to a dedicated game channel GTV, and then set up a special variety channel, film and television channel and discovery channel.

It will take about half a year to more than a year for these transformations and integrations of Caesar, but the priority is definitely the variety channel.

Caesar must eat the big cake of the talent show first, and he must eat the biggest piece.
