Han Quanyou didn't know that he had been remembered by Spielberg, a top Hollywood director, and if Han Quanyou knew, even if Han Quanyou was arrogant, he would probably be shocked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter how arrogant Han Quanyou is, but in pride, in the face of Spielberg, a person who can almost be said to be a god, Han Quanyou will also feel great pressure. That's right, in the world of directors, Spielberg is a god, the only god who can shoot commercial films and award-winning films to the extreme, and both sides reach the top level.
Han Quanyou didn't think too much about it now, just stayed in the conference room, with Harry? Sloane chatted without a word, anxiously waiting for the final box office results.
"TMD, it's almost time, why is there no news yet!" Looking at the time, it was just early in the morning, Han Quanyou said with some anxiety.
"Call and ask!" Harry? Sloan also looked at the time, and couldn't help but say to the assistant next to him.
"Forget it, don't worry, the time is just up, but it will take a little time for the people in front of you to count. If nothing else, the statistics will come out within half an hour, so let's wait patiently! "Looking at Han Kwonwoo and Harry with anxious faces? Sloan, Jason at this time? Cruise looked very calm, waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
"Uh~~~~ Okay, forget it!" Harry? Sloan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, the time is up, and it does take a little time for the staff in front to count the box office. Thinking of this, Harry? Sloan nodded, and spoke to his assistant, who was about to call and ask.
Time passed little by little, and as time slowly passed, let alone Han Quanyou and Harry? Sloan, even Jason, who has always been calm? Cruise was also a little unable to sit still.
Comparing the box office results this time, it directly affects the global box office of the movie "Transformers", and it is directly implicated in whether MGM Pictures is alive or dead, can you not be in a hurry.
"Forget it, I can't wait like this, let's call first and ask, what are you doing, it's been so long, haven't the statistics been counted yet!" Harry? Sloan slapped the table hard, picked up the phone without saying a word, and prepared to fight.
And this time, Han Kwon-woo and Jason? Cruise didn't say anything, comparing the two of them to Harry? Sloan is in the same mood and desperate to know the box office results.
"It's out, it's out!" Just Harry? While Sloan was still dialing the phone number, a voice suddenly came in from outside the conference room.
"It's out!" In an instant, Han Quanyou's hearts couldn't help but burst out, and they subconsciously stood up, staring at the door of the conference room with their eyes.
"Phew!" The door of a conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a staff member rushed in with an excited face with a piece of paper, looked at Han Quanyou and said excitedly: "Boss (Han Quanyou), director (Jason?) Cruise), Chairman (Harry?) Sloan), the news is out! ”
"How much?" Almost at the same time, Han Kwonwoo and Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise asked at the same time.
"According to statistics, the premiere box office of "Transformers" has been until the early hours of the morning, with a total box office of 37 million US dollars, and "Transformers" is still on the air, and fans have a high evaluation of "Transformers", and it is estimated that the box office will more than double when the night is over."
The staff said excitedly, what does this mean, it is very simple, it means that "Transformers" has achieved results, and the current box office results are enough to prove that this movie is a very successful commercial blockbuster, and it also means that with "Transformers", MGM Pictures won the bet, and with the success of "Transformers", it can bring huge benefits and benefits to MGM Pictures, and it will bring MGM Pictures back to life.
"Thirty million!" Harry? Sloan muttered and kept reading, and then his expression became more and more excited, and even a hint of madness at the end.
"Hahaha, we MGM Pictures didn't fall, didn't fall, we got up, got up, hahahaha......" At this point, Harry? Sloan also has a hint of kindness and kindness, and he is simply an old man who has fallen into the trap.
But from Harry? Sloan laughed wildly, but with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, Han Quanyou couldn't help but say to Harry? Sloan felt reverence. Indeed, Harry? Sloan is definitely an elder who deserves to be respected and learned, and in the time of MGM Studios' current crisis, it was Harry? Sloane struggled to maneuver around the city to make MGM Pictures struggle to survive.
Han Quanyou would not doubt it at all, if there was no Harry? Sloan's maneuvering, I'm afraid that as early as a year or two ago, MGM Pictures would have collapsed a long time ago, so it was still their turn to speak and take advantage of this big advantage, not to mention that MGM Pictures could get themselves and "Transformers" and fight a beautiful turnaround.
The success of "Transformers" means too much, not that the success of "Transformers" can bring MGM Pictures back to life, after all, no matter how high the global box office of "Transformers" is, it will be 1 billion at most, even if it is 2 billion, it will not be able to pay off all the foreign debts of MGM Pictures.
But you must know that the success of "Transformers" not only brought pure box office revenue, but also affected many other things. The success of "Transformers" is that MGM Pictures has made its own roar in the past few years, which proves that MGM Pictures has not fallen, and it is still the MGM Pictures company that used to be able to make good movies.
More importantly, the success of "Transformers" can prove that MGM Pictures has not been defeated by foreign debts, and it is still the king of the past. This will naturally attract the attention of many investors, and can also gain the trust of the bank, so if MGM Pictures wants to invest in filming movies again, investors will take money to invest, even if there are no investors, with the success of "Transformers", MGM Pictures can easily borrow a sum of money from the bank to shoot movies.
All of this means that the success of "Transformers" is destined to be gone forever for MGM Pictures, and in the future, you can shoot whatever movies you want, and invest in whatever movies you want.
A pure film company, but also has its own movie city, as long as investors and banks are willing to support and spend money, then movies can continue to appear, with MGM Pictures strength and heritage, good movies will definitely continue to emerge, then the income is getting bigger and bigger.
In this case, MGM Pictures can say that the future will get better and better. It can be said that the success of "Transformers" has too much and too wide an impact.
And Harry? Sloane has such a crazy side now, and it's also because all these years, the pressure on Harry? There's just too much pressure on Sloane, and it's okay to be under pressure, Harry? Sloan had to endure and fight hard to survive MGM Studios, and he would keep his voice down for it.
The dignified head of MGM Pictures often has to keep his voice down in front of many small characters that he used to look down on. In this case, Harry? It's good that Sloan didn't break down, and now the pressure is gone, Harry? Sloan needs to vent well, vent like crazy.
"Phew!" A loud bang startled Han Quanyou, and he subconsciously followed the sound and saw Jason? Cruise slammed his fist into the conference table, his expression constantly changing.
"Damn, isn't it, Harry? Sloan's madness is contagious, looking at the stance, it looks like Jason? Cruise is about to start exploding! "See Jason? Cruise's appearance, Han Quanyou thought with some concern.
And at this time, Jason? Cruise finally broke out: "Hahaha, our MGM Pictures has finally turned over, we are not dead, we are not dead." Paramount, Warner, Columbia, Universal, United States, Fox, Disney, you guys are waiting for me, waiting for us MGM! ”
Compared to Harry? Sloan, Jason? Cruise's madness and revenge are very targeted at the surname, and this target is obviously the other seven Hollywood studios.
You know, for MGM Pictures, Jason? Cruise is pretending to be a grandson to visit, hoping that these film companies can pull MGM Pictures a hand, and most of all, I hope that these film companies can help MGM for the sake of everyone being one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and give some money so that MGM Films can invest in making movies.
But obviously, Jason? Cruise didn't succeed, didn't succeed once, and was even kicked out of the door as a flower child to clean his face. Now, Jason? Cruise finally put his mind at ease and began to vent as well.
From Harry? Sloan and Jason? The reaction and madness of the two Cruise can be seen that MGM Pictures at that time was indeed at its wit's end, and there was no way out. Otherwise, Harry? Sloan will not be a dead horse and be a live horse doctor, and he will pull Han Quanyou into the water, so that Han Quanyou can easily become the new head of MGM Pictures at a very light price, and pick up a big bargain.
Knowing that the two of them have been really hard and stressed in the past few years, it is time to vent well. So Han Quanyou didn't stop the two, but nodded at the staff who had just reported the news and said, "Okay, we all know it, it's hard." You go get busy first, wait for the box office results of the first day to come out, and then let us know! ”
"Well, that's good, boss, I'll go first!" The staff nodded and turned to leave, as for Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise, there was no greeting at all. This is not because the staff disrespects the two, on the contrary, the two are very respected in the eyes of everyone in MGM Pictures, after all, everyone sees the efforts and dedication of the two for MGM Pictures.
The reason why I didn't say hello to the two and left was because I wanted the two of them to be able to vent well, after all, over the years, the two of them have been too hard, and now that it's time to vent, it's better not to disturb the two, so that the two can vent well.
The box office results of "Transformers" came out, and naturally they were also notified by ParamountPictures, which had been waiting for news, as soon as possible. When Klaus? Mead and Steven? After Spielberg learned about the box office performance of "Transformers", the two couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It seems like a long silence, Klaus? Mead finally sighed and said: "More than 30 million, hey~~~ MGM is MGM, not to be the king of the past, even if it is crumbling, but with Jason and Harry, the two old guys, MGM really won't fall easily." ”
Steven? Spielberg nodded and said, "Yes, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, let alone a century-old company like MGM with strong strength and heritage." I believe that with the success of "Transformers" this time, MGM is finally going to turn over. ”
The success of such a movie as "Transformers", Klaus? Mead and Steven? Spielberg certainly knows what that means. At this moment, both of them knew very well in their hearts that the rise of MGM Pictures could not be stopped.
"Hey, although I hope MGM Pictures can stand in front to shield us from the wind and rain, but to be honest, I really don't want MGM Pictures to rise again, after all, MGM is destined to rise again, as long as there is an opportunity, it will rise again. It seems that MGM has found this opportunity, and with the brains of Jason and Harry, it is impossible not to grasp it. Yes, the rise of MGM is inevitable, and it seems that MGM will still become our biggest competitor in ParamountPictures in the future! If I had known that this would be the case, the group of people in Hollywood should have been ruthless, and MGM should not have a chance to turn over! ”
Thinking of the brilliant achievements and heritage of MGM Films, even the arrogant Spielberg has a headache at this time.
"Hehe, you can't say that, did the group of people in Hollywood dare to be ruthless at the beginning, after all, they were ruthless, which would make us very vigilant, and maybe even united to fight at the beginning. At the beginning, our seven major film companies did join forces with each other's Hollywood people, after all, if they can kill MGM, they can kill us, and we can't help but join forces. It can be said that the reason why MGM Pictures was able to survive was also because of our own joint efforts to save MGM once. ”
Speaking of which, Klaus? Mead's face suddenly changed, and he said domineeringly: "However, even if MGM Pictures is rising, so what, for so many years, the competition between our ParamountPictures and MGM has not been broken, and it is precisely because of the competition from MGM, the most powerful opponent, that we ParamountPictures continue to develop and progress." Now that MGM Pictures can turn over and rise, well, I am more willing to compete with the powerful MGM Pictures and kill MGM Pictures in a dignified manner, so that we can paramountpictures become the first in Hollywood, instead of falling into the hole and winning the battle. ”
Looking at the domineering Klaus? Mead, Steven? Spielberg also seemed to be affected, and couldn't help laughing and stood up: "Yes, I also want to find some pressure and motivation for myself, obviously, MGM is a good fit." And that little guy, haha, great, how many years, how many years have I not been so passionate, and now I just feel my blood boiling, and I can't wait to do it. ”
Indeed, since Steven? After Spielberg no longer regarded Cameron as an opponent, there was no motivation and pressure, Spielberg began to lose, and even the movies began to gradually decrease, more often no longer as a director, but as a producer.
You must know that when he was still working against Cameron, Spielberg had passion and motivation because of Cameron's opponent. At that time, Spielberg was extremely crazy, "Jaws", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie series, "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List". There is even "Artificial Intelligence", which was written and directed by himself, which was filmed when he was fighting against Cameron at that time.
But since he no longer sees Cameron as an opponent, Spielberg seems to have lost inspiration and motivation all of a sudden, and with the exception of "War of the Worlds", there have been basically no good movies over the years.
Now, with the rise of MGM Films, thinking of Lee with unlimited potential, Spielberg can only lift his own enthusiasm, a little eager to do a big job, how long, how many years, his feeling of loss is now back.
"Hehe, of course, since the rise of MGM Pictures is inevitable, then we have to make some trouble for MGM Pictures, no matter how we say it, we can't make MGM Pictures so smooth, right?" Klaus? Mead looked at Steven? Spielberg laughed.
"Hehe, of course, I see that the publicity of "Special Forces" is almost enough, and it can be released tomorrow. Although he may not have done "Transformers", he can still give "Transformers" and MGM Pictures a little trouble, at least not to make them so satisfied, and smooth sailing! ”
The success of "Transformers", the news instantly spread throughout the United States, and at this time, all people with vision and brains can see that the rise of MGM Pictures at this time is inevitable. At this moment, some people are happy and some are sad. Countless exclamations kept ringing.
At this time, "Transformers" relied on quality and word-of-mouth to start its own crazy box office journey. Although it was midnight, it did not make the enthusiasm of fans disappear a little because it was midnight, on the contrary, with excellent word-of-mouth, countless fans are still willing to enter the cinema at this time to watch the wonderful sci-fi blockbuster "Transformers" that everyone said was good.
At the same time, because the movie has changed with toys, this also makes the movie not only attract the love of many young men and women, but also be particularly sought after by children, and successfully open the market in the child group. This also made the toy model of Transformers begin to be loved and sought after by children, and also made Hasbro hide at home and laugh secretly.
