Chapter 37: Meet Cook Again [Seventh Update]

On 22 December 2000, there were three days left before Christmas.

10202 West Washington Ave., Culver City, Los Angeles.

Looking at the Gothic building in front of him, Xiansen secretly encouraged himself in his heart, raised his head, and walked in confidently.

Just a few days ago, he asked K.N.B. EffectsGroup to do all the post-editing and soundtrack for "50 First Loves", which cost him the rest of his money, and at present, he only has a dozen dollars left. There is no doubt that cinema is an art that burns money.

The length of the movie was finally set at 94 minutes, and when he finished watching the final edited version, Xiansen felt very satisfied, maybe this movie was made by him, maybe this movie was really exciting, anyway, Xiansen was stunned and didn't find the slightest shortcoming.

Romantic plot, beautiful soundtrack, exquisite photography, real acting, no matter from which aspect, Xiansen feels perfect, if he insists on finding a shortcoming, that is, after watching it, it must be embarrassing and unfinished. After the editing was completed, Leonardo, Rachel, Jule, and Riman, who is now living at Xiansen's house, finished watching the film in advance in the screening room.

Although the characters in the play are played by themselves, the three girls still cried when they saw the end, and even Leonardo's eyes were red.

The charm of a wonderful movie is endless, so for "50 First Loves", Xiansen's confidence is getting more and more.

After finishing the post-production of the film, Xiansen began to think about the next task, which was related to the distribution of the film. If you want to release it in the cinema, you have to negotiate with the cinema through the distribution company, and then the cinema chain determines the number of its cinemas according to the investment and quality of the film. Although the final result was not satisfactory, it is no longer unfamiliar.

There are many film production and distribution companies in the United States, and some of these companies cannot even release a film a year, and these small companies are mainly attached to some large companies to maintain the company's profitability and turnover through the model of cooperative investment.

Such a company Xiansen is not going to go, he is going to go, he will only go to the eight most famous companies in Hollywood history, which are MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, 20th Century Fox, Disney and United States. Although these big studios, which once monopolized Hollywood with resources such as investment, production, theaters, and movie theaters, have ceased to dominate one side because of the "Paramount case", the heritage of these film companies is there, and almost all Hollywood movies are distributed by these companies.

Which one to go for distribution? For this question, Xiansen thought hard for two days and three nights without coming up with an answer. He had been to all of these companies when he was investing, and even a small company like Lionsgate, which had only been established for two or three years, had considered it, but in the end, the reasons given by these film companies for refusing made Xiansen feel a little angry now. Especially Cook, the manager of Columbia Pictures, looks at how much he hates that he looks at himself.

Thinking of this, Xiansen decided that the first one would go to Columbia Pictures, and he would use his film to humiliate Cook, and by the way, prove that Cook's original decision was wrong.

This is not Xiansenren's surname, in fact, in his opinion, instead of thinking about which company he should go to, it is better to run one by one, anyway, he has nothing to lose. Finalizing the attention, Xiansen once again stood in front of the door of the Columbia company.

Like last time, Xiansen is still dressed casually, although the temperature is very low now, but Xiansen wants to face Cook with the appearance of last time, this is not unusual, but grudge, how I came and how I walked at the beginning, and how I came now.

Only this time, Xiansen had an extra black leather bag in his hand, and the bag contained a copy of the DVD disc.

Caros, the front desk lady of Columbia, apparently knew Xiansen because of the last meeting, and this time she saw Xiansen walk in alone and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Mister, do you have an appointment this time?"

Shaking his head, Xiansen raised the leather bag in his hand, and said firmly: "No, but if you inform Cook, he will definitely see me, and he will definitely say, hell little ghost." ”

"Oh?"

Caros had no idea what had happened in the office last time, all she knew was that she had shouted when she came out at the end, and it was because of this voice that she remembered this person.

"Okay, but if he refuses, please don't blame me."

With that, Caros turned and walked towards Cook's office.

After about ten minutes, Caros walked back and said with some surprise: "You guessed it right, he did praise you like that." ”

"If you think hell is a compliment, I don't have a problem with that."

With that, Xiansen grabbed the black leather bag and walked straight to Cook's office, he knew where it was

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that Cook was still brewing coffee.

"Hey, old man, how's it going? Was it a surprise to see me coming? ”

Xiansen put the leather bag on the desk, and then sat down on the sofa where the guests were entertained.

"Thanks, less sugar."

casually picked up a cup with a surname, and Xiansen handed it over very unceremoniously.

He didn't come here to talk about cooperation with Columbia in distribution, he came to get revenge on Cook, he came here to deliberately find fault, he wanted to prove that Cook's vision was wrong.

Looking at Xiansen's uncle's attitude, Cook just smiled, his forbearance has always been good.

"What are you going to do today?"

Sitting in his office chair, Cook handed over Xiansen's coffee and asked casually.

"Amount"

After hesitating for a while, Xiansen asked rhetorically: "What do you think I'm here for?" ”

"Me?"

Cook obviously didn't expect Xiansen to say this, put down the cup, pondered for a few seconds before laughing, "Could it be that you are here for revenge?" ”

β€œbingo! That's right. ”

With a snap of his fingers, Xiansen had a smug look on his face.

"My movie is done, and I'm here to prove how bad your vision is."

As he spoke, Xiansen pushed the black leather bag over and said, "What? Interested in checking it out? ”

"Okay!"

As the saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you can chant even if you don't know how to write poems. Cook has been in the film industry for so many years, and no matter how good a movie is, he has a way to criticize it as scum, in popular terms, this guy is a professional troll, a professional poisonous tongue.

The DVD disc was removed from Sen Sen's black leather bag, and Cook expertly slipped it into the computer's drive.
