Chapter 176: MGM's Influence
readx;
Thomas was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Han Quanyou would refuse so simply. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it is true that in some ways, it will damage Han Kwonwoo's reputation and bring some trouble to Han Kwonwoo, but all this is for the sake of publicity.
Now MGM Pictures is relying on the movie "Transformers" to turn over, and if this battle is not successful, it will be absolutely fatal for MGM Pictures.
Perhaps, if the box office response is mediocre after the release of "Transformers", MGM Pictures can directly file for bankruptcy protection.
Thomas didn't understand why Han Quanyou refused, it had already reached this juncture, what else was there to hesitate and worry about. Now it's all burning eyebrows, not to mention that this is just a normal propaganda method, even if it is abnormal, it must be done, and now everyone must sacrifice and make way for MGM Pictures.
knew that Han Quanyou had a bad temper and liked to make a joke, but Thomas felt that he was not wrong, and he did not target anyone with these proposals, and he was completely considering MGM Pictures and starting from the most basic interests of MGM Films.
Thinking of this, the stubborn Thomas couldn't help but say, "Boss, I think we need to discuss this matter well." Doing so will definitely have a great effect on movie promotion, and it can't be wasted like this. ā
"I don't have a problem with the first three points, but the last two points, I say no, it's not good." Han Quanyou didn't think about it and insisted on his opinion.
Seeing what Thomas wanted to say, Han Quanyou was really a little angry, is there such a subordinate, he said he didn't agree, you are still chirping there, isn't this nothing to do.
If he hadn't known that Thomas was this temper, if he hadn't known that Thomas was fundamentally selfish, he was purely concerned with the interests of MGM Pictures, otherwise, Han Quanyou would have gone crazy a long time ago.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, the last two suggestions don't work, so it's decided. If you feel that the publicity is not in place, you can advertise more, and if the money is not enough, I will add 10 million US dollars to you, a total of 30 million US dollars in advertising costs, which is enough! ā
Thomas opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time. After a few seconds, Thomas sat down honestly and said no more.
A total of 30 million US dollars in advertising expenses is enough, and I don't know what to do if I continue to talk about it. Besides, Han Quanyou is the boss of MGM Films, all the money has been given, and so much has been given, the publicity effect is far stronger than making a scandal, if he doesn't know what to do and what to twitter, I'm afraid he will really be destroyed by Han Quanyou.
As for the announcement that Han Quanyou is the new boss of MGM Pictures, since Han Quanyou has denied it, then forget it. After all, Han Quanyou is the new boss of MGM Films, and when Han Quanyou wants to announce it when he wants to announce it, this is Han Quanyou's personal **.
Seeing that Thomas finally stopped talking, Han Quanyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if this girl continued to chatter, Han Quanyou was really afraid that he couldn't help but beat this guy.
was beaten and beaten, but Han Quanyou was worried that Tomasson would really hold a grudge because of this, and left MGM Pictures in a fit of anger, which is not what Han Kwonwoo wants to see. After all, in terms of work ability, Thomas definitely didn't say that MGM Pictures is still in turmoil, and it is inseparable from people with experience and ability like Thomason.
After getting Thomason, Han Quanyou just breathed a sigh of relief, but inadvertently, he saw Harry on the side? Sloane looked at himself and seemed to have a big opinion about himself.
After a brief thought, Han Quanyou also understood why Harry? Sloan reacted like this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't worry, all the 30 million dollars are from me!" ā
"Yes!" Get Han Kwonwoo's answer, Harry? Sloane nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything more.
"Okay Thomasson, this matter is decided, you can be busy promoting it now, remember not to be afraid to spend money, but the money spent must be worthwhile."
"Boss, don't worry, I've already contacted the TV stations in New York, Los Angeles and several major cities in Miami, I'm going to talk about the publicity now, I believe that if nothing happens, I will be able to let people know about the movie "Transformers" the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"Okay, you go get busy first!" After receiving Thomason's assurance, Han Quanyou nodded with great satisfaction and commanded. Thomasson's efficiency and ability are probably among the best in the entire MGM studio.
It is commendable that Thomas is an old courtier of MGM Pictures for more than 20 years, and his loyalty to MGM Pictures is undoubted, after all, when MGM Pictures was in turmoil before, several Hollywood film companies wanted to tempt Tomasson, but Thomasson's loyalty to MGM Pictures made Tomasson not let these studios dig into the wall The plot succeeded.
Therefore, for Thomason's work, Han Quanyou can rest assured!
Thomas Masson is not a person who drags mud and water, and after receiving Han Quanyou's order, without saying a word, he stood up and nodded to everyone, and then turned around and left the conference room.
"Okay, let's move on!" As Thomas left, Han Quanyou smiled and said.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that MGM Pictures is not just a camel that is about to lose weight, because it has the surname of Reading Power Producer, and because MGM Pictures has not been polluted by foreign forces, (ordinary people certainly don't know that MGM Pictures has now become Han Quanyou's private industry) MGM Pictures still has a huge reputation and influence in the eyes of the entire Hollywood and the entire Americans.
No, when MGM Pictures announced that it was about to prepare a press conference about "Transformers", it immediately attracted the attention and attention of countless people.
So people are very curious about what kind of movie is the "Transformers" filmed by MGM Pictures in this stormy moment, and how it seems to be able to save MGM Pictures.
All of this made the media and the public very interested in the press conference held by MGM Pictures. Therefore, on the day of the official press conference held by MGM Pictures, dozens of top American media came to the scene.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are only a few dozen media outlets, you must know that these media are all top media. As for some tabloids and small media, MGM Pictures directly chose to ignore them.
This is the dignity of the king, the dignity of MGM Pictures itself. Although it is said that MGM Pictures is now down, it also has its own arrogance and dignity, especially in order to survive, it will change its consistent style and policy, and begin to cooperate with small media and tabloids, what a joke.
Besides, the media that can be invited by MGM Pictures are basically the top media in the United States, and these media are dozens or even hundreds of small media that can't come in and scold their mothers outside.
There is no need to choose the location of the press conference, it is directly set within MGM Pictures, after all, there is still a place for a small press conference in the eight major Hollywood film companies.
Holding a press conference within MGM Studios can save time and effort, and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and dangers.
At the press conference, dozens of media outlets were talking in whispers, and they began to speculate about the fact that MGM Pictures held a press conference on "Transformers" this time.
Dozens of top American media outlets, almost all of them came to the press conference, which shows how terrifying MGM's influence is. Even if MGM Pictures is crumbling now, even if MGM Pictures is falling, this influence seems to be increasing instead of decreasing.
A few minutes later, Han Kwonwoo smiled and followed Michael? Director Bay, and Megan? Fox and producer Jack came to the press conference.
With the appearance of several people, for a while, the entire press conference instantly fell silent, and the media began to do a good job, and at the same time began to think in their minds about what kind of questions to ask when the time came.
"Ok, first of all, thank you all for coming to the press conference of MGM Studios' new movie "Transformers", and now I announce the official start of the press conference, and you can start asking questions."
The press officer said very directly, and then walked off the stage and stood aside with the staff, so the next time would belong to the four people sitting on the stage.
As the press officer announced the official start of the questioning, dozens of media outlets at the scene raised their hands one after another, hoping to grab the first right to ask questions.
Although this right to ask questions will not really bring you any benefits, it is also very face-saving to be the first person to ask questions, and in the presence of so many top media on the scene, which also proves the strength of the media and TV stations behind you.
In the end, it was the "Los Angeles Newspaper" that grabbed the first right to ask, only to see a blonde beauty reporter in her early twenties stand up and ask Jack: "Jack Now, I want to ask, for the movie "Transformers", according to the investigation, "Transformers" spent a total of nearly 200 million US dollars, why is MGM Pictures so confident and willing to spend such a big price to invest in the filming of this movie? ā
This is indeed what everyone wonders, after all, MGM Pictures' high foreign debt has made MGM Pictures crumbling, and the funds are also very tight.
And at this juncture, MGM Pictures actually invested more than 200 million US dollars to shoot "Transformers", which obviously gives people a sense of desperateness, and everyone is very curious about why MGM Pictures will shoot "Transformers", a live-action movie changed from a toy, you must know that this is unpopular, MGM Pictures cannot not know. Why do you know it, but still decide like this, is it really because you can't think about it, the jar is broken, or there is some special reason.
Jack: "The reason why we did 'Transformers' was because of Lee, and because of Lee's script, we had to be tempted. As you know, we are in a very difficult situation at the moment, and the only way for us at MGM to get out of this predicament is to shoot movies, and as for financing, this is not something that we can accept. After the investigation and inspection of professionals, we came to the conclusion that the movie "Transformers" is indeed very marketable, so we MGM Pictures finally decided to invest in the filming of "Transformers"! ā
Recently, Jack has also said that MGM Pictures is in a difficult situation at the moment, and the funds are also very tight. It is no exaggeration to say that the $200 million invested in "Transformers" this time should be the best money that MGM Pictures can come up with. What is the reason why MGM Pictures is so determined to invest in this film, you must know that if it fails, MGM Pictures will only face bankruptcy. ā
Again, because Lee's script really touched the top management of MGM Pictures. The $200 million invested in the movie "Transformers" is indeed the last bit of money that we MGM Pictures can get, and it is no exaggeration to say that our MGM Pictures are all or nothing. With such an excellent script, it is worth our MGM film company to gamble, after all, this is at least half the chance. If we don't gamble on this, we MGM Pictures will be able to support it for a while at most, or it will go out of business due to lack of funds. Since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we can still support the gamble. That's why we decided to invest in the movie Transformers. ā
"Lee, in terms of fantasy films, you've proven your screenwriting skills in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. But this time it's science fiction, and it's an all-or-nothing bet from MGM Pictures, so I don't know what you'll think. ā
Seeing that Jack didn't go in, the reporters had no choice but to ignore Jack and start focusing on Han Kwon Woo and Megan? Fox and Michael? Director Bei.
"Hehe, I don't think there's anything wrong with my script, MGM Pictures was able to choose to invest in this film at such a difficult time, which is enough to prove the quality of the script I wrote myself. You don't think that the dignified MGM Pictures can't make up their minds to gamble on this without a certain evaluation! ā
Han Quanyou's unceremonious words caused a burst of laughter at the scene, Americans are like this, yes, yes, no, no, polite and modest, Americans look down on them very much.
"To be honest, the pressure is certain, after all, this is MGM Pictures taking MGM's life and death to make a bet, and it is impossible to do without pressure. But I don't have much ability to do this, the only thing I can do is to improve the script as much as possible and try to make the film. ā
"Megan, why are you able to participate in the filming of the movie "Transformers" this time, you must know that this is a big-budget movie, with your fame and influence, it stands to reason that you should not have the opportunity to participate in the filming."
At this time, another reporter jumped out, only this time the reporter targeted Megan, the heroine of the movie? Fox.
Hearing the reporter's inquiry, Megan? Fawkes's face couldn't help but change. Seeing each other's mysterious smile, Megan? Fox was furious all of a sudden, because Meghan? Fox knew that this reporter must have doubted that he was able to get the role of the heroine this time by relying on unspoken rules, which made Meghan? Fox was furious.
"Sir, I don't know what you think, and I don't know why I was chosen to be the heroine of the movie. But none of this is my business, it's not something I can decide. I'm thankful Michael? With the support of Director Pei and Lee and the trust of MGM Studios, I was able to play the heroine of this film, and the only thing I could do was to make the film as good as possible. ā
After all, Megan? Fox had a cold face, looked at the reporter who had just asked the question with disdain, and couldn't help but snort coldly. It's still the top media, and it's so boring to ask this.
However, this is also a common occurrence in the entertainment industry, reporters can't wait to find something to do, and even wish you were mad, so that they can have content to write and break the news. Of course, if you have a bad temper and throw a glass and leave, or even hit someone, it will definitely make the reporters on the scene more excited.
Megan? Fox is not very old, but it has been a long time since his debut, these cats and situations, Megan? Fox naturally understands. Of course, he wouldn't let this reporter get what he wanted, but because of his anger, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
And next, how many more reporters began to target Megan? Fox came, fortunately Megan? Fox is also experienced, although he is very unhappy, but at least he still has a cold face and solves the excessive problems of reporters one by one.
"Michael? Director Bei, I don't know why you agreed to be the director of "Transformers" in the first place, you must know that this is a live-action movie changed from a toy, and this theme has always been unpopular. At the same time, MGM Pictures' investment in "Transformers" is a desperate gamble, which has proven the quality of the script of "Transformers", so the next thing depends on the director's ability. Director Michael, I wonder if you will be stressed? ā
Michael? Bei's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and asked me if there was pressure, isn't this nonsense, this is a movie that decides the life and death of MGM Pictures, in this case, who will not have pressure. Don't talk about yourself, even Cameron and Spielberg are the same.
Is there any pressure, since you are so curious, you can come up and try it yourself!
"It was because of Lee's script and MGM's sincerity that I agreed to be the director of Transformers. As for the pressure, that's for sure, but I'm sure we'll be successful, because "Transformers" is really an excellent sci-fi blockbuster, and anyone who has seen it will think so and won't be disappointed. I can guarantee that as long as you like sci-fi movies, as long as you like hot fight scenes, as long as you like dazzling computer stunts, you can see it in the movie "Transformers", and you can satisfy it. ā
Michael? Bei smiled faintly, and returned unhappily, looking very calm.
