Chapter 117: The chemistry is very good

"I'm going to sue him." Jenny slammed the car door on, "I'm going to sue him - I'm going to sue him!" ”

Cesare followed and sat in the car, "Jefferson—"

"Don't 'Jefferson' me," Jenny wiped her mouth again, "Evil - where's your disinfectant?" I'm going to go for a test if he dares to be infectious. He will die if he gives me the disease--you are also dead, and you have left me and him alone-"

"Jefferson!" Cesare's tone was a little helpless, "Don't be stupid, as long as you don't have mouth sores, a kiss won't make you contagious. Sickness. ”

"So he has an STD?" Jenny's rummaging through the locker became more urgent, "I hate you, Vijri, you him. Damn, let me be alone with him, you know he-"

"All I know is that I went upstairs to make a phone call and when I came down you attacked his down. Body, if it weren't for my stopping, it looks like I want to inflict further physical harm on him," Cesare said in a rare helpless tone, "What do I know?" Do I know you're an aggressive and dangerous person, and I let him be alone with you? ”

"The reason why you're going upstairs to make a phone call is to give us some space to be alone!" Jenny raised her voice, "How dare you say it's not!" ”

"Of course not," Cesare glared at her as he stopped the car and waited for the iron door to slide open, "I was calling Egger about it. ”

Jenny didn't trust his words anymore, and Christopher's truth just now made her wary of Cesare, "So you didn't deliberately stay and let him confirm if there was any chemistry between him and me?" - Is what he said true or false, and every female co-actor he slept with? ”

"What?" Cesare raised his voice, "What the hell did he tell you?" ”

"Very well," muttered Jenny, "it seems that this statement is also false." ”

"I know he's interested in you." Cesare said as he confirmed the oncoming car on the opposite side of the trail, "He's wanted to get to know you after watching Pirates of the Caribbean, but you know that Christopher is basically a — "

"□□ who can walk?" Jenny sneered, "Yes, I know, of course I know now." ”

"And I'm sure you're not the kind of girl who likes to play and have fun, and you don't get along, so I haven't introduced you to you," Cesare said, "and he didn't bring it up again, and I thought it was a thing of the past—Christopher's interest shifted very quickly." I don't know why he took the opportunity to do this again after meeting you today, maybe it was a whim for him to think about the past, maybe you piqued his interest, but to be fair, it may not be offensive to Christopher, you know what kind of environment he has lived in for a long time. ”

"Is he a little mentally ill?" Jenny asked, she gradually calmed down, and from a certain point of view, she also understood Cesare's words, Christopher's environment since he was a child, just like the Malibu villa, was very different from the environment of ordinary people, since his girlfriend and her fiancé couldn't stop him, so it was probably nothing for him to kiss him directly when he felt that she also felt something. "You know, the brain is a little of—"

"He just knew what he wanted all the time." Cesare sighed, "He's not weird, in the eyes of the average person, of course, by the standards of the A-lister, in general." But I don't think it's a mental disorder, it's just that he's used to just getting what he wants, and he knows that people will always forgive him eventually. ”

His phone lit up, and Cesare glanced at it, picked it up and handed it to Jenny, "See for yourself." ”

"The chemistry was very good, and I took it." Jenny read, "I want to bring money in, call me tomorrow morning and tell Jennifer: It was a great kiss, you know, don't deny it." - Shit, this man is a nuisance, what do you know? Now I don't want to work with him, I'm going to call my lawyer. ”

"Jennifer." Cesare lowered his voice.

Jenny sighed, "Fine! "She kind of understood Liliane's feelings." ――Are you sure he doesn't have an STD? ”

"He's clean and he'll have a full physical check-up every three months." Cesare said, "Since you and he aren't strangers now - Christopher never does □□ unprotected, don't worry, okay?" ”

"I need to make sure that his performance of Roger meets my understanding and requirements." Jenny said, "An audition, under the supervision of David and Catherine – do you really think he can play Roger well?" He's not going to go crazy halfway through the show, is he? ”

"He won't." Cesare patiently replied, "Acting is just as important to Christopher, everything will go smoothly, Jenny, isn't it good now?" We can politely turn down Eisner, and you've made a lot of progress in your relationship with Egra - my mother will have a small party this weekend, and Iger should come with his wife, and my mother and I have already agreed that I will attend with you. ”

Jenny listened as she cut through Christopher's text message and into her inbox, where she glanced at the screen to confirm that there was indeed a text message from Madame Vejerry, which was simply 'Callme' - it seemed that Cesare had just been in contact with the matter, and not to leave her alone with Christopher.

She was suddenly completely calm, no longer angry, and could look at the situation more objectively, "OK, then if there are no problems with the audition, we can prepare to sign." What are your thoughts on pay, and do we need to bring money into the game? ”

"With you and Christopher? Of course, there is no shortage of investors for this project right now," Cesare said, "and there is no need to hand over the profits, and if it weren't for the fact that we need connections, the film could even be co-financed by you and Christopher." I was thinking that we might be able to give the film to Weinstein, with you and Christopher each paying a third of the production costs, and Weinstein paying a third, and then negotiating a profit share. ”

"Is Weinstein's distribution channel okay?" Jenny frowned, "They haven't officially established a new company yet, have they?" Besides, aren't you still talking about a peaceful settlement with Eisner? I don't think Eisner would have been happy to see me and Weinstein working together. ”

Since I remembered Michael. If Eisner leaves his job and decides to make a profit, Jenny will have to study Eisner's current situation - she always has to try to judge from common sense whether the events of her past life are likely to happen in this life. So she knew Harvey. Weinstein is actually one of Eisner's troubles, in addition to the Ovitz incident that has been plaguing Eisner (the lawsuit around this incident has been ongoing), and some of Disneyland's revenue has been declining year after year, the Weinstein brothers' Miramax and the parent company Disney have always had differences of opinion. Fahrenheit 911" could not reach an agreement on the distribution, Disney has been limiting the size of Miramax for many years and other reasons, the Weinstein brothers are determined to break away from Disney, and the two sides are negotiating copyright to discuss the ownership of the Miramax trademark and the film library.

Although they are in business, Miramax and Disney have reached this point, it is impossible to say that Weinstein and Eisner like each other very much, and Jenny did not see the news that the Weinstein brothers decided to form a new company, and handed over the film to their brothers, which felt a little uncertain. After all, for a new company, it always takes some time to perfect the distribution channel.

"The Weinstein brothers are just waiting for the outcome of the negotiations, and they are already secretly preparing the new company." Cesare replied, "I think it's enough for the film to be released domestically, and if Weinstein can't do it, the domestic distribution rights can be sold to Paramount, and it doesn't matter, what we need is the Weinstein brothers' ability to win awards." ”

Just like Jenny herself secretly analyzed, you have money, you have a golden finger, and knowing that some films will be successful, it doesn't mean that you can invest and succeed casually. The total investment of "The Fifth Sally" is only five million, which one of her or Christopher can't make the investment? But the award film needs marketing and PR, and if you don't give this piece of cake to Weinstein, why would they do it for you? This is still a literary film that does not need to be released simultaneously globally, if it is a blockbuster with big investment and big publicity, the global publicity and distribution channel is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, not only to be released, but also to be announced, let's say "Prada", when Fox finally decided to set the file for release on February 14, it was already January, and it could do a good job of global distribution within 1 month, and it would be released in February (of course, the countries with the strictest policies did not achieve synchronization, but it was also released at the fastest time), this is the essence of Fox - This is just a relatively simple distribution procedure, and a few fixed links can be done, and global publicity is simply a nightmare level of complexity, and the number of teams that can do a good job in global publicity and distribution is very large and very expensive, unless it is a film company of this size like the Big Six, it can't afford to raise it at all.

Of course, it's not that you can't sell the distribution rights to the Big Six, but you can also know with your ass that non-biological children are definitely not as favored as biological ones, so even if it's only an investment of five million, you still have to give the Weinstein brothers one-third of the cake, and even some concessions may have to be made in the division of some interests in order to pull the Weinstein brothers to do it, as for how to divide these interests, this is Cesare's business, and the whole negotiation must be led by him - this is also an important reason why Jenny desperately wants him to come to the partnership, If it is a senior manager hired by the employment system, how can he be as meticulous as Cesare to pull benefits into the pocket of big dreams?

"So, Eisner?" Jenny doesn't have much of a problem with giving Weinstein a run, as long as Weinstein doesn't mind because Renee. Zellweger's passing clouds will do the trick.

"There is a fallacy in your thinking, for you, you have to distance yourself from Eisner and get close to Eger, so you are afraid that Eisner will find out about this and hate you and deal with you." Cesare noted, "But for Eisner, you're just making decisions about your career normally, and 'The Fifth Sally' has David. Finch, there is Christopher. Hanks, there is Catherine. Kennedy, it's normal that you don't want to miss this movie. As long as you don't refuse by insulting him, the chances of Eisner getting angry are slim, and as for who invested and distributed the film, it was Catherine's choice, and it had nothing to do with you. ”

"You're right, I'm a bit of a thief." Jenny laughed self-deprecatingly, "Okay, so the bottom line is that each will pay one-third, and divide it evenly after deducting publicity, public relations, and producers and directors?" ”

"Same as I thought." "Weinstein may ask us to advance some cash, and I'll take care of those details," Cesare said. ――Have you sifted through the forms that were shown to you that day? ”

"There's nothing to do with your gut feelings." Jenny replied, "I've seen all the films you starred in, and almost all of them are romantic comedies, campus comedies, and vulgar comedies...... In short, it's all comedy-based, do you want to start with the comedy market? ”

"This is a relatively low-cost genre film with a high potential profit." Cesare replied, "About 10 million investment, several small companies jointly invested, the rights of issuance are sold to large companies, I think the risk is not high, you can diversify the investment, one investment is about two or three million, what do you think?" ”

"I don't have a problem with that, but since we have far more than 10 million on our books, we may be able to increase the amount of investment in each part......" Jenny quickly put Christopher behind and discussed with Cesare about her current true love: Big Dreams.

It must be said that any exposure will definitely bring economic benefits, just a scandal that survives for only one day, and it has also brought a certain amount of box office revenue to "Prada", the original decline has slowed down, it is roughly estimated that this scandal is worth about 2 million, according to the current box office curve and global performance, it should be no problem for "Prada's global box office revenue to reach 450 million", 200 million in North America, 250 million overseas, so don't count the investment income, just talking about the salary, Jenny should be able to get back 18 million share income (North American box office / 2 * 10% + overseas box office / 3 * 10%), and the big dream will earn about 40 million, and there will be various copyright income such as DVD sales in the future, but this is all long-term income, what she can get in the near future is the new line of the "Love Notebook" that will finally arrive, 10 million, after the five million promised to Cesare are returned, and half of the bank loan of 10 million, and some of the successive shares of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" can cover daily expenses, and it is still relatively poor, and it will take a long time to continue to struggle to buy a mansion like Christopher.

After the initial investment plan is set, a timetable must be set for the subsequent negotiations and personnel recruitment, after all, Jenny as the leader of the bright face still has to come forward, and when everything is done, it is already very late, Jenny will be on the "Oprah Show" the next day, she must go to bed early, calculate the time when there is no exercise (she does not exercise two hours before bedtime to avoid insomnia), Jenny simply went to her rarely used home theater after washing, and operated the projector to release a copy of "Shiver Lover". She now wonders what Christopher will be like on screen - hopefully not as crazy as she is in reality.

This is a 1998 film, Christopher was about 21 years old at the time, this film is somewhat similar to "Top Gun", both are male-dominated commercial blockbusters, there is nothing noteworthy in terms of plot, after all, it is a film from a few years ago, and the shooting techniques and special effects are now a little outdated. However, Christopher's image in the film surprised Jenny a little: wheat-skinned, slender and muscular figure, shy smile and lingering emotional drama...... Although he gives her the impression of being mentally unstable, in the film it is a very traditional masculine, calm image of the male protagonist, and a bed with the heroine. The play is even more full of male hormones, which makes people can't help but feel admiration - male stars, to male audiences, it is to sell masculinity, 'I want to be him', to female audiences, it is to sell hormones, 'I want to be with him'.

Such films are mass-produced every year, and although the box office performance of "Trembling Lover" is very bright, the film itself does not have much to offer, and the more Jenny watches it, the more she feels that the reason why this film is a blockbuster is because they found Christopher to star in it. The actor Darwin he plays has the same eye-catching temperament as Andy in "Prada" and Jack in "Titanic", and the audience may not be able to say where the performance is good, but they are willing to focus their eyes on this role, willing to resonate with him, and willing to be fascinated by him.

Out of curiosity, she watched several more Christopher films, and after "Thriller Lover" became famous, he acted in several blockbuster blockbusters, including action movies, comedies and romance films that he was good at, among which the comedy also won him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Comedy Actor - Jenny found that many of his roles have one thing in common, that is, eye-catching, charming, it seems that no matter how casual Christopher's appearance is, as long as his smile and eyes are there, the audience can be attracted by his performance, And with such a strong personal charm, no one really cares about his acting skills. At least Jenny doesn't care about anything, of course, this is mainly because he acts in commercial films, and for countless people who have watched countless films, it is easy to guess the plot, which is more attractive than Christopher's joys and sorrows.

Male vase ...... This is probably Leonardo's trouble, too handsome appearance and too strong personal charm have become an obstacle to their development, "Titanic" and "Total Eclipse Love" are like this, the audience just looks at his youthful demeanor, and this beauty interferes with the plot. So Leonardo has been making himself rough in the later period, and Christopher took over movies like "The Fifth Sally" that needed to be ugly. However, Leonardo has always been very ambitious to win awards, he almost only acts in top feature films, while Christopher is more pragmatic, several commercial films of different genres have made him a lot of money, not to mention, the drama is also spacious, his national popularity is enough for him to save a few big productions will have another chance, and as long as he still maintains blockbusters, there are too many opportunities to try art films...... The difference in the choice of the two in their careers should be due to the difference in agents, and Christopher obviously listens to Cesare, what does this mean? Beneath his spoiled, moody surface, he's actually shrewd? He knows what he needs, how to get it, when he can be willful, and when he should cooperate rationally......

Realizing that she had begun to tap into Christopher's character, Jenny smiled self-deprecatingly: Well, it cannot be denied that Christopher piqued her interest, and this attraction cannot be said to be purely from his flesh/body or wealth, it should be Christopher's personality that makes her find it very interesting, he is like a colorful prism, just a meeting is not enough for her to know the real him.

Either way, her 2005 schedule was still full, and "The Fifth Sally" was a film that was expected to be exhausting, and it was one thing to have fun, and quite another to split her mind to research someone who had nothing to do with her. Jenny stood up and prepared to go back to bed, her body clock had always been quite fragile and needed to be cared for, otherwise she might wake up the next day with dark circles.

One last glance at the screen, Christopher was standing cross-legged in the sun, taking off his shirt, his smile shining brightly and his green eyes glinting with merry light in the scorching sun.

It is undeniable that under such a smile, he seems to be indeed beautiful.

The author has something to say: Note: 1 I said before that Christopher is fictional, and all the films he has acted in are fictional things, that is, it is said in the notes, why do readers still go to Baidu......

2 The Weinstein brothers did break away from Disney at this time, and the entire dispute between Weinstein and Disney was real. In the end, Disney spent 1.3E to buy out Miramax's film library and name, and the Weinstein brothers left to create Weinstein Pictures.

There is a double watch tonight! Come and see at half-past eight!
