Chapter 920: The Aftermath of "Desert Island" (Part I)

Back in Los Angeles, a film "Desert Island Survivors", which everyone is not very optimistic about, even Hanks himself, who put forward this idea, is not very optimistic about its box office value, but only optimistic about its artistic value, began to be released in major theaters in North America one after another.

The idea for this movie was proposed by a half-drunk Hanks during a casual, and the equally half-drunk Sun Ziming was at the bar, drawing out a script outline and asking Douglas to organize a few screenwriters to tinker with. Later, after the script came out, Sun Ziming asked Douglas to find the well-known Robert? Zemeckis, after a brief conversation for more than ten minutes, threw the script of "Desert Island" to him and asked him and Hanks to shoot it.

To be honest, Robert is willing to take this script, also because Sun Ziming and Hanks are famous enough, and this director, who has not yet become popular, wants to be close to a big star and a big director. But after reading the script, Robert had a feeling that this was the script he was pursuing and looking for. Hanks is not too much, he came up with the idea, and he has to carry the whole film alone, which is a challenge for him.

But even so, Robert and Hanks are not very optimistic about its box office value. It is ordinary people who look at themselves no matter what, and people like them who have been in Hollywood for twenty or thirty years with the 'box office is king' have long learned to look at their own works from the eyes of others. It is true that such a film with a single plot and a 'one-man show' really violates the conventions of commercial-oriented Hollywood.

However, Sun Ziming did this as soon as he watched the film, forcibly asked the distribution department to put the film in the summer file, and asked Lianna and them to fully cooperate with the promotion.

The theater side has always had a kind of blind trust in Sun Ziming's movies, even if they were not made by him personally, but only produced by name. After receiving the notice from the light and shadow company, he did not hesitate to provide 2,400 theaters and 4,168 big screens, which scared Hanks and Robert almost called God bless. In this way, if the box office is not good, they have to push both of them to the center of public opinion and meet everyone's ridicule.

Facts have proved that China Ming's eyes were kissed by God, 21.86 million in the first week of painting, and suddenly soared to 47.19 million in the next week, it seems that there is a great possibility of breaking 200 million.

Hanks was already popular enough, and "Desert Island Afterlife" just proved his box office appeal again, but Robert? Zemeckis is different, this guy has jumped from a third-tier director to a first-class director in one step. Of course, there is also one big winner: Hanks and his agent Chad Raft have once again made the mistake of stubbornness, coupled with Douglas's unintentional misdirection, giving up the box office share and only taking over the film for 20 million, repeating the mistake of "Forrest Gump" again.

In the past, if the light and shadow company was not listed, Sun Ziming could still give Hanks a bonus as compensation for the sake of his friends, but now that the company is listed, he has to pass the level of Jill and the board of directors first if he wants to pay bonuses. Chad? Raft is not Brian's kind of agent, who has no discipline for the sake of profit, and when he encounters this situation, he has to admit that he is unlucky with Hanks, and both of them comfort themselves with the lack of a salary.

But Hanks's wife, Rita Wilson, doesn't think so, women are small-minded, she blames Douglas for the problem, thinking that when he negotiated the agreement with Chad, he emphasized that this was a literary film, not a commercial film, and it was impossible to give Hanks a share of the box office, completely ignoring that even her husband did not expect to get a box office share. At that time, the two also told Chad that China Ming really valued friendship, and after "Forrest Gump" and "Apollo XIII" made Hanks suffer a loss, he did not even ask for a salary reduction for such a film that was determined to not make much money.

Why doesn't even Rita blame Sun Ziming? Because he just hung up the name of a producer, he didn't care about anything, he just let them do it themselves, and when they made money, they were lucky, and when they lost money, they spent money to make Hanks happy. It wasn't until the film was edited and the guy watched it again that he swore that this might be a good box office movie, which led to the later one.

But what Hanks didn't expect was that his wife was talking nonsense with her eyes open, and even Chad nodded repeatedly, encouraging him to say a few dissatisfied words to China Ming.

“Why?”

Hanks, who has just returned from out-of-town publicity, is very strange that Rita and Chad will be like this?

Rita didn't squeak and hugged her youngest son, Truman, who asked her for candy? Theodore is gone, Hanks doesn't react, it's up to Chad to say it, not to be the bad guy himself.

"Hanks, The Da Vinci Code, got it?"

Hanks Khan, China Ming takes half, Nicole 28%, and himself takes 22%, this is a good thing to negotiate, how can it be changed? Rita and Chad are both obsessed with having 6% more Huai Nicole than themselves, but can you tell the two of them the real reason for this?

"Chad, that's different. That's Nicole using the previous incident as a talking handle, and she can't talk about her, so she is looking for Dan? Brown wrote the play and the novel. I just thought that Miss Nicole didn't think one person was enough to convince Ming, so she let her in. ”

A lie is a lie, and his long-time friend Chad could hear what Hanks was hiding, but it was impossible to ask any more questions for personal and official reasons. Everyone should have their own privacy, and Hanks is not the kind of person with a simple brain, and he definitely has his reasons for not saying it. Rita would suspect something, Chad wouldn't, and Hanks wasn't the kind of person who would cheat.

"Ok, whatever you want. However, Hanks, I still recommend mentioning it in a joking tone when you and China Ming are together. Don't get too close to Miss Nicole during this time, Ok?"

Hanks suddenly realized, it turns out that the crux of the problem is here? Yes, his relationship with China Ming is not inferior to Nicole in their eyes, and her reputation and box office appeal are stronger than her, and suddenly she has less shares than her in a film that will definitely make money, no wonder Rita is cranky.

"Ok, I understand", Hanks replied in a low voice, and after making a phone call to his grandson Ming, he said loudly: "Rita, I'll go to Ming, are you going?" ”

"No, go by yourself, will you come back for dinner?"

"No, maybe I'll be back later, that guy likes to have a couple of drinks," Hanks said as he grabbed his Bentley keys and went out.

……

When Sun Ziming received a call from Hanks, he just woke up from a nap, and saw the paper bags scattered all over the floor in the living room, stroking his head and feeling distressed. It's only been a long time, Miss Xu has made the same old mistakes again, from thousands of dollars of Chanel bags, Prada dresses, to a few dollars of sunhats, and then the cloakroom has become a shopping mall!

Xu Qing, who had just finished taking a bath, came out wrapped in a big towel, and when he saw Sun Ziming stroking his forehead, he was curious: "What's wrong?" Aren't you going to make hundreds of millions again, and it's not enough for you to make up for your losses? ”

Understand, this woman's own money in her head is her money, and when she makes money, she spends it by her temperament, and if she loses, she would rather stay in the hotel and not go out. Since she treats her money as her money, she has to fulfill her obligations anytime and anywhere, and Sun Ziming, who was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, pulled her over, ripped off the big towel on her body, and pressed her on the sofa to despite her screams and resistance.

It didn't take long for resistance to become obedience and then to cooperation, and the coquettish reprimand finally became a greasy shallow chant.

(10,000 words are omitted here)

When Xu Qing, who was still soft as mud just now, came to his strength, and wanted to kick this bastard a few times to express her dissatisfaction, Sun Zi was quick-sighted, grabbed her white and delicate ankle, pulled her into his arms, and discussed: "Xu Qing, let's talk?" ”

"What to talk about? I find that you are now more and more like an animal, and you want to come whenever you are interested, without considering the wishes of others. ”

Sun Ziming took a handful of her full chest, pinched the still congested bud, and laughed: "Cut, you don't want to scream so loudly?" Look, it's all hard! ”

"You", Miss Xu's already ruddy face suddenly became blood-red, and she was about to bite when she opened her mouth.

Sun Ziming was afraid of this seemingly gentle but brutal eldest lady, and if she wanted to replace Guan Zhilin, who only wanted to make money from herself, she would have thrown her as far as she wanted, but this eldest lady is different, buying things indiscriminately is just a problem that she has developed after she is bored and bored after following her. A young beauty, who spends most of her time alone in an empty house, doesn't let her family find a hobby?

Seeing that she didn't seem to be making trouble, Sun Ziming hurriedly supported her forehead with his hand and begged for mercy: "Don't be, talk about the right thing." ”

"Then let me take a bite first, otherwise I'll be done with you!"

"Bit, bite", Sun Ziming, who couldn't help it, had to let go of his hand and let her take a bite first. The eldest lady is the eldest lady, if you don't go along with her tone, this thing will be endless.

Xu Qing took a bite on Sun Ziming's shoulder, and then said triumphantly: "Okay, spare you once." Say, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Ziming, who had just figured it out, looked at the delicate Xu Qing, and it was difficult to speak for a while. Like with Karen? Like Mutt, when he found out that the child had fallen in, he inevitably felt a sense of apology.

"What's wrong?"

After hesitating for a while, Sun Tzu Mingtuo said: "I'm thinking of a way to turn you into a rich woman, so that no one else will suspect you if you buy whatever you want." ”

"Cut, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Sun Ziming pinched her soft and plump buttocks, and said angrily: "You're not afraid? If you want your house to block my door one day, you are not afraid at all? ”

"Cut, I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't rob, I don't go to the old man, what am I afraid of? I found a man I liked, who is in the way? ”

Sun Ziming was speechless to this confused eldest lady, she was indeed not an old man, she was with her, and she really didn't want her own money, otherwise she wouldn't be buying things indiscriminately, but buying a house indiscriminately.

Forget it, forget it, people are like this, can they really let her go to her again for her own unsightly psychology? A young lady has no name and no place to follow her, which is already aggrieved enough. After the film is released, let Yuan Mei find a bunch of commercials for her, it's just a big deal to put some money in it.

"Okay, okay, after "The Three Sisters of the Song Family" wins the award, I'll do it. You just take care of yourself, don't let me cāo heart! ”

"Don't you just want me to shoot commercials? We're not short of money again, and you still want me to go and drink with those squinting old men? ”

Yes, this is a confused lady who doesn't eat fireworks in the world!
