Chapter 527: American-style shrewdness
Claudia, who was lying on her back on her desk like a dead fish, finally relented, blushed and puffed her chest, and began to clean up the mess on the desk, and looked strangely at the telephone with the bug installed.
Sun Ziming sat on the chair, rested his feet on the desk, smoked a cigarette comfortably, and pointed to the phone at Claudia, who was cleaning up. Claudia threw the filthy tissue into the garbage, hugged Sun Ziming's neck, and said a little louder: "Boss, what you promised me can't be counted." ”
'Bang bang', two crisp sounds, Sun Ziming slapped Claudia's snow-white plump ass twice, and scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, isn't it the agency of New York?" As soon as the press conference was over, I asked Tino to give the contract to your sister. Hey, what is going on with "Forrest Gump" you just mentioned? ”
Claudia squirmed in her grandson's arms, she was still a little unaccustomed to being eavesdropped on in this situation, "After Universal got the adaptation rights to Forrest Gump, it felt that it was similar to the theme of "Rain Man", so it was no longer ready to shoot it, and transferred the copyright to MGM - Luen Mei Entertainment, and later MGM transferred it to Paramount. Yesterday, Paramount approached Chris? Swift wants to ask him to star in "The Harley Brothers" for a salary of $2 million. When the black boy was filming "Rush Hour", I heard you comment on this novel and said that it was comparable to "The Old Man and the Sea". He negotiated with the people at Paramount to buy the adaptation rights of "Forrest Gump" for $300,000, and the money was deducted from his salary of 2 million. ”
Sun Ziming's hand didn't control the strength of zhì, so that Claudia covered her full chest and screamed in pain, "Boss, tap"
"Sorry, and then?" Sun Ziming let go of the greasy soft meat in his hand, and Claudia said with a smile: "That black boy, don't look at him with a big grin, he is also very smart, he didn't dare to come to talk to you, so he came to probe my tone." He wants to take a stake in the adaptation rights of the novel, let you shoot it, and give him a 1% share of the box office. ”
"Hehe, with a box office of more than 30 million, he will make a steady profit!"
Sun Ziming laughed twice and said mockingly: "I'm afraid this is still a plan in his heart, and he didn't talk to Paramount at all!" This guy was cheap to me last time, and he wants to do this again this time. ”
Claudia looked up and said triumphantly, "So I immediately exposed him, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't speak." ”
Sun Ziming glanced at the phone on the table, was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Forrest Gump is indeed a great novel, if it can be adapted into a movie, it will make a lot of money." Claudia, find someone else not to pass through Alexander, buy it at any cost. ”
Claudia has been with Sun Ziming for two or three years, and she has long known him well, and hurriedly said: "Yes, boss, I will do this tomorrow, and I will definitely not alarm my competitors." ”
Sun Ziming glanced at the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist, saw that the time was almost up, kneaded a few handfuls on Claudia's plump breasts, and patted her round and soft buttocks, "It's almost time, pack up your things and send us to the airport." ”
"Oh", Claudia glanced at her Longines watch, quickly got dressed, and went to the bedroom to help Sun Ziming clean up.
Half an hour later, Sun Ziming and Claudia left Beverly Hills in a car, and the spring palace drama and conversation between the two just now were heard clearly by the people who were being monitored, but they were abandoned like a piece of cake.
……
Five hours later, Sun Ziming flew to the location found by Chris Columbus in a rented helicopter. On the way, Chris Columbus briefed him on some of the crew's preparations, and the film was filmed on a small island 20 nautical miles from the Hawaiian Islands. Half an hour later, the helicopter arrived at the small island, which was marked on the map, as Kuku.
After arriving over the island, they did not land immediately, and at the request of Sun Ziming, the pilot circled over the island, and only then did they see the whole island clearly.
The island is surrounded by mountains, but in the middle is an open basin with a suitable subtropical maritime climate that breeds large forests, and a narrow river valley between the two highest mountains in the northeast corner, which is not far from the setting of his script.
The plane slowly landed on the flat ground in the middle of the basin, and somehow, Sun Ziming suddenly remembered that in the "Jurassic Park Sequel", the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex came out of the dense forest on the side of the runway, and the realistic special effects made him remember it vividly.
"Boss, how is this island?"
Sun Ziming flipped through the design sketch, saw that the runway was exactly at this position, nodded and praised: "Chris, you have a good eye, this place is like tailor-made for this film!" ”
"No, it's not my credit, it's your friend, Lieutenant Josh Hartnett, who recommended it. It's the same officer who helped you last time with "Breaking Bad", you gave him a role and invited him to dinner in Los Angeles. ”
Oh, I remembered it, it was the naval officer who was more than 1.9 meters tall, "OK, go to him for a drink at night, this kid is a local snake, last time in Los Angeles, he bragged about how beautiful his girlfriend was." ”
"OK, that's a good kid, he often comes and takes me to their club."
With a few entourages and designers, the two of them turned the basin and its surroundings around, and returned to the plane to discuss the final design. After discussing and preparing to get on the plane, Sun Ziming signaled the pilot to wait, "Chris, how about you say that if we buy this small island and use it as a tourist attraction?" ”
"No, there's no one here to play", Chris Columbus immediately thought of something as soon as he finished speaking, and quickly asked, "Boss, you mean like Disney?" ”
"Yes! Anyway, we are going to build a dinosaur research institute, and then let the special effects company move the dinosaur models over, and it will be a ready-made theme park. If Jurassic Park meets our expectations, there will definitely be people who will come to play, and don't forget Jì, this is a tourist destination in Hawaii. ”
It's a good idea, and for the sake of authenticity, all the buildings on the island will be built to a real standard. It would be too wasteful to make one or two movies and abandon them here, not to mention the models of the special effects company, if they are not moved here, sooner or later they will become garbage.
"Let's call it Dinosaur Island, and after we finish the movie, we will add some other entertainment facilities to the periphery. Once the film is a success, the island will become a paradise for moviegoers all over the world. Boss, the owner of this island is Joe Robinnet, and he asked me if he could sell the island to us, and he wanted to pool the money and develop the resort in Honolulu. ”
Chris shook his fist excitedly, if he could really build a small theme park, these fixed investments could be recovered, and maybe it could become a good source of money.
Sun Ziming looked at the island again, it was more than ten square kilometers, and it might be expensive.
"NO, five or six million dollars at most. Boss, such an island is not worth much, Joe only spent four million when he bought it, and it appreciated by one or two million in five years, he should die of laughter! “
"Okay, when you go back, you go and finish this, and I'll go back and prepare for indoor shooting. MR。 Ellison, how long will it take to complete the entire project? Is two months enough? ”
Yes? Ellison immediately shook his head, "No, it will take at least three and a half to four months to meet your shooting requirements here, and the weather will be so good that there can be no typhoons." Ming, this is Hawaii, not Los Angeles, and all the building materials have to be shipped from the mainland! ”
"All?"
"Year, Hawaii has passed a guò bill to ban the development of local building materials enterprises, and now even a brick and a grain of sand have to be shipped from the mainland!"
Sun Tzu looked at Joe playfully, and Chris's friend was too calculating. When Chris next to him heard this, he felt that he had lost face in front of the boss, and said angrily: "Ellison, if you can't complete it in a month and a half, the contract will be canceled, let's go talk to the local construction company, OK?" ”
The lean Ellison blushed, but finally agreed, "OK, I'll go to other construction sites to buy materials and guarantee that it will be completed within a month and a half." ”
