Chapter 178: "Transformers" is released
readx;
Tom? Cruise was stunned, then turned angry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This damn old guy doesn't even believe in himself, and he still talks about himself, and he makes it clear that he doesn't give himself face, has he forgotten who it was in the first place that made ParamountPictures able to make a lot of dollars. Is it me, it's me Tom? Cruise, if not my Tom? Cruise, there would be no "Mission Impossible" movie series, and without the "Mission Impossible" movie series, would ParamountPictures be able to make so many dollars?
Okay, now I don't need myself, I don't have any use value, so I start not giving myself face, this damn old guy, he really did it.
Angry though, but Tom? Cruise can't help it, after all, the identities of the two are definitely not equal. Klaus? Mead is the chairman of the board of directors of ParamountPictures, and he is just a contracted actor of Paramountpictures.
No matter how famous he is, no matter how high his status is in ParamountPictures, to put it bluntly, in Klaus? In the eyes of Mead, these people are just subordinates and part-time workers.
Thinking of this, Tom? Cruise held back his anger: "I think we need to make a little trouble for MGM, for example, when "Transformers" is ready to be released, we can also take out our "Special Forces" to be released, and grab a better time on the set, I believe MGM will definitely be anxious at that time." As long as we do this, the box office of "Transformers" will definitely be greatly affected by then, and this box office will definitely be very unsatisfactory. As long as the box office is not ideal, it is normal for MGM, which has been famous for a hundred years, to disappear in the long river of history. ”
"I said, stop this matter for the time being, and wait until "Transformers" is released." Klaus? Mead looked at Tom with a disgruntled expression? Cruise's tone became very serious.
"Humph!" Tom? Cruise's face changed, and finally snorted coldly, "Bah" slapped the table hard, stood up and didn't look at Klaus? Meade, turning to leave the room.
"Hmph~~~ It's really getting more and more unruly!" See Tom leaving? Cruise, Klaus? Mead frowned and looked at the departing Tom? Cruise, snorting coldly.
This Tom? Cruise really thinks who he is, to put it bluntly, he is an actor, but he is just a contracted actor of his own paramountpictures, and to put it mildly, he is a money-making tool in his hands, a tool, and he dares to be so arrogant, and he is still aimed at himself.
Hmph~~~ If it weren't for Tom? Cruise did contribute to ParamountPictures, and in order to avoid being called ruthless and impersonal, I'm afraid Klaus? Mead has long since put Tom? Cruise was chased away.
It's just a tool, and he dares to point fingers in front of himself, and he really thinks who he is, and he doesn't want to think about his identity. Tools are tools after all, even if they are expensive and luxurious, they are still tools in the final analysis, and if they are gone, they will be gone, and Hollywood and ParamountPictures will never lack such tools.
"Okay, that's all for today, you guys get busy first!" Klaus, who has already made a vague decision in his heart? Meade, looking at the rest of the people in the conference room, nodded and commanded.
With Klaus? Mead spoke, and the rest of the people stood up one after another, facing Klaus? Meade nodded, then turned to leave.
In an instant, the people in the conference room disappeared without a trace, and only one person was left to continue to accompany Klaus? Mead.
"Actually, I want MGM to go out of business, but I don't want MGM to go out of business." Looked at the one person left, Klaus? Mead's gloomy face couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, I can understand this!" The other said with a smile.
"Yes, MGM, as one of the eight major Hollywood studios, and even the king of the past, is definitely one of our biggest competitors at ParamountPictures. That's why I want MGM Pictures to go out of business, so we at ParamountPictures have one less strong opponent! ”
Klaus? As soon as Mead's words were finished, another person smiled faintly and said: "However, in the final analysis, MGM Pictures has a good relationship with our Paramountpictures, not to mention, MGM Pictures is not bad, and it is not so easy to go out of business, otherwise, how has MGM Films, which is heavily in debt, persevered in the past few years, if it were to go bankrupt, I am afraid it would have closed down long ago." ”
Klaus? Mead nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, a film company with a hundred years of history, especially one that is so easy to deal with." What's more, MGM Pictures has really fallen, so the pressure on us at ParamountPictures is also a lot greater, after all, those people in Hollywood are a little restless. ”
"Yes, the collapse of MGM Pictures is good for us at Paramountpictures, but the downside is just as obvious. That's the group of people in Hollywood, who can have the heart to focus on us. Although even if MGM Pictures falls, Hollywood has seven studios, and no one can say who that group of people will find. But we at ParamountPictures are also targeted. If they follow the way they deal with MGM Pictures, with the current reputation and limelight of Hollywood's Eight Point Films, which is currently the most glamorous of our paramountpictures, I fear that they will most likely find us in trouble. The other voice had some helplessness in its tone, and it was obvious that it was also a headache for the Hollywood crowd.
Touched his forehead with a headache, Klaus? Mead said helplessly: "Yes, MGM Pictures was the most beautiful at the beginning, but in the end, it wasn't made like this by people." I really hope that MGM Pictures can continue to persevere, attract their attention to the past, and block the wind for us Paramountpictures, after all, in recent years, we ParamountPictures are relatively beautiful and high-profile. In the unlikely event that MGM Pictures fails, I'm afraid it will be our turn to paramountpictures next. ”
"Hmph, they're all a bunch of garbage, a bunch of crumbs, a bunch of moths! They understand something, they understand movies, they don't understand any bullshit. They only know how to play conspiracy, play bureaucracy, and how to reach out and make their pockets bulge. Another voice said angrily.
"Forget Steven, let's not talk about that, even if MGM Studios falls by then, and they have their eyes on us Paramountpictures, so what. We at ParamountPictures have been able to go through the storm for so many years, and we really haven't been afraid of anyone. What's more, paramountpictures and you and me, it's enough to have the two of us, we Jews have experienced countless blood and tears since ancient times, and even in World War II, we were almost genocided, but none of this can defeat us, nor can it hit us. As long as the two of us join forces, you are the producer in charge of the film, and I am in charge of the logistics and full support, I am sure that no one will be able to touch us Paramountpictures. ”
Klaus? With a wave of his hand, Mead's original bland disappeared without a trace, and instantly became a domineering man. Is this Klaus? Mead, this is the boss of ParamountPictures who has been in power for more than ten years.
"Hehe, of course Klaus, the two of us join forces and will not be afraid of any opponent." Steven smiled faintly and said, if someone is around, he will definitely cry out in surprise, because this person is the top director of Hollywood, Steven? Spielberg.
The press conference is over, and the next thing is to choose a time for the movie to be released, of course, before that, the first thing that needs to be done is to fully promote the movie "Transformers", and let as many people know as much as possible that "Transformers" is going to be released.
In this matter, Thomas has indeed become very crazy, with Han Quanyou's private $30 million advertising expenses, Thomas is very confident, in some advertiser negotiations, the confidence is very sufficient, with a big wave of his hand, he didn't even bother to be verbose, and nodded directly in agreement. As for what advertising costs, as long as they are not too outrageous, Thomas agreed without saying a word.
You must know that the order given by MGM's top management to Thomas is very simple, that is, in the shortest possible time, let the news of the upcoming release of the movie "Transformers" appear anywhere. On TV, the subway, the business district...... And in Thomason's generous money opening, all this became very smooth, but on the second day of the press conference, the news about the upcoming release of "Transformers" sprung up on the streets like mushrooms after a rain. And it is still spreading out at a crazy speed, centered on Los Angeles, and crazy everywhere.
Compared with MGM Pictures' unusually high-profile, ParamountPictures is much more low-key, but low-key is low-key, but what should be done and publicity, ParamountPictures is not ambiguous at all, and in the promotion of new movies, ParamountPictures is also very powerful.
In an instant, the two films "Transformers" from MGM Pictures and "Special Forces" from ParamountPictures were hyped by MGM Pictures and ParamountPictures, and almost everyone knew about it.
Although the two movies have not yet been officially released, they have become the two movies that fans are most concerned about and looking forward to. And "Transformers" and "Special Forces" are also destined to be released at the same time, and there will be a fierce head-to-head battle.
Of course, this is not only a contest between "Transformers" and "Special Forces", but also between MGM Pictures and ParamountPictures.
All of this has also made people pay more and more attention to the two movies "Transformers" and "Special Forces", which can be said to be these two big-budget sci-fi movies that have become the theme of Hollywood.

Han Kwon-woo sat leisurely in the MGM Studio conference room, humming the Divine Comedy "Lonely" in his mouth, and occasionally smoking a cigarette and puffing out smoke rings.
"Lee, can you be quiet, now that ParamountPictures has started to hype up the movie "Special Forces", it is clear that ParamountPictures is preparing to use "Special Forces" to fight us. You should be thinking of a way to do it at this point instead of singing songs here first, and while I admit that the song you just sang is good, the lyrics are really demoralizing. ”
Looking at Han Kwon-woo with a leisurely face singing a song, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but smile wryly. Originally, and all were good, seeing that "Transformers" was about to be released, I didn't expect that at this time, ParamountPictures couldn't sit still, and began to hype up "Special Forces", according to the time, it is very likely to collide with "Transformers", and when the two sides fight in the ring, it will definitely greatly affect the box office of "Transformers".
Because of this, from morning to now, Harry? Sloane's frown never relaxed.
"Okay, old Harry, I'm wondering, what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of?" Harry? Sloane spoke, and Han Quanyou had to stop and look at Harry helplessly? Sloane said with a shrug.
Looking at Han Quanyou, who looked like he didn't care, Harry? Sloan was furious: "Lee, pay attention to your attitude, you must know that Paramountpictures' "Special Forces" is also a big-budget sci-fi blockbuster, and it was released at the same time as our "Transformers", which will definitely have a great impact on the box office of our "Transformers" at that time." Lee, you know, we at MGM Pictures don't have the ability to invest in a big-budget movie like Transformers anymore, and if it doesn't do well at the box office this time, then we at MGM Pictures might really be finished. ”
"Uh~~~ So old Harry, what do you think we should do now?" Shrugging his shoulders, Han Quanyou looked at Harry helplessly? Sloan asked.
"I don't know, hey~~~~ It's really a very unpleasant thing!" Seeing Han Quanyou finally get honest, Harry? Sloane felt a little more comfortable.
Jason? Cruise, Tomasson and the others are now sitting in their seats with serious expressions, either keeping their heads down or smoking cigarettes, and no one knows what anyone is thinking.
"Hey~~~ I said you, what do you have to worry about!" Looking at everyone's reactions, Han Quanyou stood up helplessly and said with a wry smile.
Seeing everyone looking at him with puzzled expressions, Han Quanyou shook his head helplessly: "My meaning is very clear, in fact, this matter is very simple, but you yourself are thinking too complicated." They released "Special Forces" on ParamountPictures and released "Special Forces", and what did they have to do with MGM Pictures and "Transformers". It is necessary for you to make a sad face, and those who don't know still think that the former Soviet Union has recovered! ”
"Lee, this joke isn't funny!" Harry? Sloan said with a wry smile.
"Okay, I'm scared of you. So what do you say, what do we do now, go to ParamountPictures to make trouble, or do we try our best to play conspiracy to make ParamountPictures' "Special Forces" not be released? ”
Han Kwon woo's words made Harry? Sloan's eyes lit up, but instantly darkened again: "Impossible, ParamountPictures is not a puppy or a kitten, you must know that ParamountPictures is also one of the eight major movie palaces in Hollywood, and its current strength is much stronger than our MGM Studios." Even if we play conspiracy and scheming again, I'm afraid we won't be able to prevent the release of ParamountPictures' "Special Forces"! ”
"Then just take it, since you can't stop it, then what are you thinking about so much. Could it be that if you continue to be sad one by one and continue to be anxious, you will be able to make "Special Forces" unable to be released on time, is it possible! ”
"Hey~~~" Harry? Sloane let out a long sigh, obviously deep down, Harry? Sloan also agrees with Han Kwonwoo's words, after all, even if it is MGM Pictures at its peak, it can't stop ParamountPictures from making any decisions, not to mention that MGM Pictures is now in the West Mountain, and its strength is not as good as before.
"Actually, I said you don't have to worry at all, after all, a big production doesn't necessarily mean a big box office movie. What's more, a matter like a movie was originally a head-on confrontation with real strength, and no one could escape it, and no one could play tricks. Our "Transformers" is popular with fans, and the box office results will naturally rise sharply, and if it is not popular with fans, the box office results will naturally not be very ideal. This is the ironclad fact of the box office market. Even if we find a way to make ParamountPictures' "Special Forces" not work properly, delay a little time, give "Transformers" time, and let "Transformers" be released alone. The box office results are all about the quality of the movie, not the number of movies released during this time period. ”
"What's more, I have absolute confidence in "Transformers", I don't care who the other party is, whether it's "Special Forces" or any big-budget movie with top directors and top stars, it won't be our opponent!"
In the end, Han Quanyou said with a domineering face. Regarding the global box office results of "Transformers", Han Quanyou has watched the filming effect since watching it, which is no different from the "Transformers" in his memory, and even better than the original "Transformers" in many places, so Han Quanyou is not worried about the box office at all.
Harry? Sloane: "So what do you mean, Lee?" ”
"Release, release on time, I want to teach everyone a lesson, as long as there is a movie in which I Han Quanyou participated, not everyone can come to the ring, they are not qualified. I want everyone to know that as long as there is a movie in which I Han Quanyou participated, they all have to stand aside obediently! ”
I already knew in my heart that this time "Transformers" was definitely the global box office champion in 07, and Han Quanyou was also domineering when he spoke.
"Okay, it, I want to see what's so great about "Special Forces" too!" Harry? Sloane's face flashed with a hint of hesitation, then he became firm, gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
As the original decades at the helm of MGM Pictures, Harry? Sloan is also a domineering and majestic old man. In the past few years, it has only been because of the bad situation of MGM Studios that Harry? Sloan is a lot older, but that doesn't mean Harry? Sloane is old and afraid.
Ten days later, in the expectation of countless people, "Transformers" was finally released at lightning speed. And countless fans have also walked into the cinema, ready to score "Transformers".
