Chapter 175: Meeting
readx;
Looking at the senior executives of MGM Films sitting in front of him, Han Quanyou smiled faintly and said, "How about everyone, do you have any opinions on this big promotional video?" ”
If you have an opinion, what can you say, this promotional video for "Transformers", isn't it you and Michael? Bei two people to the whole out. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if I stand up against it at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
After a period of getting along and getting to know each other, everyone also has a certain understanding of Han Quanyou, a young new boss. This girl is purely a tyrant who likes to be able to control and decide everything, and does not like people to speak out against him.
For such a top boss, who dares to say anything, won't he be able to get along with himself if he does, and I'm afraid I don't know how to be killed when the time comes.
Of course, it's not that everyone is afraid and fearful of Han Kwon-woo, at least Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise, the two of them don't care. There is only one reason why the two remain silent and silent, that is, the promotional video is indeed great and excellent, and there is no need to oppose and find fault.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's talk about the release of the movie "Transformers" first. The front end is a piece of cutting that I've been busy shooting and computer stunts and promotional videos, and I don't know anything else, what your plan is, so tell me about it now. ”
Sitting casually on the sofa, Han Quanyou unceremoniously in Harry? Sloane resented, snatched and put it in Harry? Sloane took out an authentic Cuban cigar in front of him, as if it were his own, and began to smoke it.
"This is our MGM Pictures turnaround, and for "Transformers", all of us have watched it, and we have a very detailed understanding of the quality and storyline of the film. As professionals, we can all see the value of the movie "Transformers". So my opinion is very simple, don't be afraid to spend money, hype, and preferably let everyone in the world know about the movie Transformers. In that case, I have a concrete proposal here, and if I don't plan to make a big deal about it, then I reserve my opinion. ”
A senior executive stood up, pulled out a stack of papers from the side, and placed it on the conference table, apparently the plan he had just spoken.
"I have no opinion, I am fully supportive!" Harry? Sloan finally spoke up at this time.
"Yes!" Jason? Cruise said coolly.
The owner of the "......" company is also a screenwriter, a starring and director of a movie, plus Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise's two MGM Pictures Taishan Beidou nodded in agreement, who would have other opinions.
Isn't that, with Harry? Sloan and Jason? The two of Cruise expressed their position, and the others agreed and agreed to the hype, at this time, "Transformers" can not be low-key, and it is not allowed to be low-key.
"Okay, Thomason, tell me about your plan, your specific publicity plan and timing, and what the projected publicity funding is!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Han Quanyou was not polite, and directly motioned to Thomason, the person who had just spoken, to tell his detailed plan.
Merrick? Thomason is a middle-aged man in his forties, a south-central man with Danish ancestry, who seems to have inherited the imagination of Danish fairy tales, his thinking is very out-of-the-box, and he also has the feeling of an antelope hanging on its horns.
Although Thomas is only in his forties, he is already a veteran of MGM Pictures, and has been in MGM Pictures for nearly 20 years.
As far as Thomasson's case is concerned, it can be said that Tomasson has reached the pinnacle of MGM Pictures, and his position has also risen to the limit. After all, if you go up again, it is not a matter of ability, but a matter of how much of the shares you seem to hold in MGM Pictures, and then consider your personal abilities and characteristics to determine your position at MGM.
"Now, I want to say that my personal opinion is to arrange the release of "Transformers" as much as possible, not only because "Transformers" was released earlier, which can bring huge box office to the company, but more importantly, there are no other blockbusters released in this world, so it can be said that it is currently in a blank period of sci-fi blockbusters. Putting "Transformers" on the screen as early as possible is good for the box office of "Transformers". ”
Thomas is indeed a capable man, and he is also very intelligent, and his surname belongs to the kind of person who is very direct and cheerful. Seeing that his words had just been finished, it seemed that someone had some different opinions, and without waiting for these people to speak, Thomas began to explain directly.
"I know that the recent outbreak of the financial crisis has had a great impact on the whole of the United States, and this impact will gradually spread to the whole world. But I want to emphasize that this has not had the slightest impression on our MGM studios, nor has it had the slightest impact on the release of our movie "Transformers". You must know that the financial crisis has really been greatly affected by the big chaebols, big groups, and rich people. In contrast, the impact on ordinary people, although there is, is not large, and it can even be said that it can hardly be affected. When a movie is released, the most important market at the box office is in the hands of ordinary people, and those who are the top rich may not even count 0.1/10,000, so the financial crisis has no impact on the release of "Transformers". Although the financial crisis broke out at this time, it will definitely not affect the movie box office market. ”
Hearing Thomason's words, Han Quanyou couldn't help laughing, the financial crisis is good, if there is no financial crisis, how can he make such a large amount of money.
Of course, this matter is intended for Han Kwon-woo, and Han Kwon-woo will not tell anyone, not even Rain. It's not that he doesn't believe in rain, it's just that Han Kwonwoo doesn't think it's necessary.
Even if he told Rain, Rain was afraid that it would be difficult to accept and believe for a while, and even if he did, he would be suspicious, after all, the two were too familiar, and whether he had the ability and conditions to make so much money in this financial crisis, it was normal for Rain to doubt himself.
Besides, even if Rain doesn't say anything, with such an iron relationship between the two, Rain will definitely worry about himself. After all, this is hundreds of billions of dollars, there is too much money, and the benefits are too great. A person like Han Quanyou, who has no foundation and no backing, has such a large amount of money, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of hungry wolves.
Even when the time comes, even the Korean political axe may directly find a spurious reason to secretly detain Han Quanyou, and then force him to ask for his account password and let him spit out all the money. After spitting it out, then it's even simpler, after all, it's a shady thing, in order to keep it secret, Han Quanyou is likely to be sealed by his permanent surname, which is the so-called secret disposal.
Thomason's words are indeed very reasonable, no matter how fierce the financial crisis is, it basically does not have much impact on the movie box office market, after all, the box office comes more from ordinary fans, rather than the so-called top rich and group chaebols.
Besides, no matter how bad the financial crisis is, it is impossible for ordinary people to not even be able to afford a movie ticket. What's more, the financial crisis has just begun to jump out, and it has not yet reached its worst. At present, the political axe of the United States is still working hard to save it, at least for the time being, there is no terrible unemployment rate.
Therefore, there are many signs and evidences that prove that the financial crisis is no matter how fierce it is, but it has nothing to do with the film market at all. At most, it affects the film company, and the impact on the box office of the movie is basically none.
Therefore, choose the time as much as possible to let "Transformers" be released, without worrying about the impact of the financial crisis.
"My plan is simple, it's only five points!" As he spoke, Thomas took out his planner and looked at it, saying, "The first point, which is also the normal procedure, is to hold a press conference about the movie "Transformers". ”
This is a necessary normal procedure, and everyone has no opinion at all, and they all nodded in agreement.
"The second point, we can make some trouble with the boss!" After glancing at Han Quanyou for a few moments, Thomas hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Something to do with me?" Han Quanyou was stunned, looking at Thomas with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Thomas was.
"Yes, it's just to make a little trouble with the boss, after all, the boss is the screenwriter and actor of "Transformers", and even began to contact the field of directing, coupled with the achievements of the boss in the field of music, he is definitely an all-rounder. I believe that the media will be very interested in the boss. ”
Seeing that Han Quanyou's face was a little hesitant, Thomas hurriedly said: "At the same time, this has another benefit, which can greatly increase the popularity of the boss in Hollywood, the United States, and also make the boss's value soar." So I think it's a win-win for MGM Pictures or for the boss personally. ”
"Okay, okay then, what about the third point?" After thinking for a while, Han Quanyou also nodded in agreement. After all, what Tomasson said is right, this is a huge benefit for himself or MGM Pictures, and he has no reason to refuse.
"Thirdly, in my plan, I expect to spend 10 million to 20 million dollars as advertising expenses, of which 10 million dollars will be placed in the United States, and the remaining 10 million will be placed elsewhere."
"Two million dollars, isn't that too much?" Now, Harry? Sloan couldn't sit still, two million dollars, so much money for advertising, how could this be. Although it costs money to advertise a new movie, there is no need to spend so much money, especially now that MGM Pictures is not in a good situation.
Unfortunately, Thomas shook his head very stubbornly, and obviously continued to insist on his opinion.
"This time 'Transformers' is arguably the only big move we have made at MGM Pictures in the past year, so we have to pay attention to it. At the same time, everyone has also seen the movie "Transformers", and everyone knows what the movie is like. It can be said that with all of us years of experience and vision, it can be seen that "Transformers" is definitely an excellent big-box office movie, so can we be stingy with this money. Therefore, we have to promote, crazy publicity, and we have to build momentum for "Transformers" before the release of "Transformers". ”
"But that's 20 million dollars, and do you know that our MGM funds are very tight right now!" Thomason's words do make a lot of sense, but as the current helm of MGM Pictures, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but think about more.
Uh~~~ Because of Han Quanyou's special body, people are also lazy. So MGM Pictures more often, or is it the same as before, by Harry? Sloan is in charge, of course, and this just refers to the normal things and some of the little things to deal with. In terms of big things, Harry? Sloan only has the right to make suggestions, not to decide.
"Let's stop fighting about this, it's okay to fight back and forth. Just do what Thomas says. 20 million dollars is a lot, but it is necessary, we can't just see the sesame seeds and forget the watermelon. ”
Harry? Sloan looked at Han Quanyou and couldn't help frowning, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you leave everything to yourself, everything costs money, you really don't know how expensive oil and rice are expensive.
"Forget it, this matter is settled, I'll just pay for it." Seeing everyone looking at themselves stunned, Han Quanyou smiled faintly: "That's right, I said that I will pay for this money, and I will pay for it privately." ”
Han Quanyou said so, and what else could others say, they also nodded in agreement. After all, such hype is fundamentally beneficial to both the movie "Transformers" and MGM Pictures.
"Fourth, I hope the boss can talk to Megan? The Fox EEG scandal came out, which was very helpful for the promotion of the movie. ”
Han Quanyou's brows couldn't help jumping, these guys really just value interests, and don't care about the feelings of others. This is also in the United States, if it is placed in South Korea or Ben and China, the one who is a subordinate dares to pay attention to his top boss.
Harry? Sloan obviously saw a trace of reluctance flashing in Han Quanyou's eyes, afraid that Thomason, an old courtier from MGM, would offend Han Quanyou, the new boss, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Let's talk about this when the time comes, let's talk about the fifth point first!" ”
Although Thomas is sometimes too stubborn and profit-oriented, MGM Film Company needs such people who only pay attention to interests and do not pay attention to human feelings and feelings, so as to bring enough benefits to the company. And in that regard, Thomas is clearly doing a very good job, so Harry? Sloan subconsciously protected Tomason, lest Tomasson anger Han Quanyou.
"Fifth, I hope that at this time, before the release of "Transformers", it can be announced that Lee is the identity of the new boss of our MGM Pictures, a young man, an Oriental who has just broken into Hollywood, has become the new boss of MGM Pictures, I believe that there will be many people interested in this matter."
"Forget it, let's do the first, second, and third points, as for the last two, don't use it!" Han Quanyou couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and immediately slapped the table to decide the matter.
The fourth point with Megan? Fox created a scandal, although he knew that this was one of the normal publicity methods in the entertainment industry, Han Quanyou still resisted it in his heart. Especially in this way, Han Quanyou will feel that with Megan? When Fawkes meets him, he will be very embarrassed.
At the same time, Han Quanyou is still very unhappy with Tomason's somewhat commanding method. You are a subordinate of your own, and you dare to order me as a boss, is this decent?
What's more, Han Kwonwoo is very disgusted by doing this, even if it is Megan? Fox has no opinion, and Han Kwonwoo is also reluctant. If you don't have an emotional foundation, you pretend to be a lover and make a scandal, which will have a great impact on your reputation.
This will certainly have a good effect on the promotion of the movie, but does Han Quanyou really care about this money now, it is necessary to care about "Transformers" to make money for himself. As long as Han Quanyou is willing, he can even buy MGM directly, compared to movie promotion and stimulating the box office, Han Quanyou cares more about his reputation.
As for the last point announcing that he is the new boss of MGM Pictures, Han Kwonwoo is even more unhappy. As Thomas said, it would definitely be big news that a young man, who had just come from the East to Hollywood in the United States for a few years, suddenly became the new boss of MGM Films.
If it were in normal times, Han Quanyou would also agree to Thomason's proposal, after all, he is indeed the new boss of MGM Pictures, and Han Quanyou can't keep it hidden like this, and it is okay to find an appropriate opportunity to make this matter public.
But he made a big windfall by relying on the US financial crisis before, and now he announced that he is the new boss of MGM Pictures at this time, which will definitely attract people's attention.
As long as this matter is announced, Han Quanyou can be sure that he will definitely become the focus of attention of the media and paparazzi. Regarding the energy of the media and the paparazzi, Han Kwonwoo has no doubts at all.
Han Quanyou is afraid, afraid that his windfall will really be dug up by the omnipotent paparazzi media, and he is afraid that he will be in big trouble at that time.
For the sake of his own safety, Han Quanyou did not hesitate at all and directly rejected Thomason's proposal.
(To be continued)
