Chapter 347: Initiative
"Sean, can you bring in the yukata that is placed on the chair outside? My body is wet. The voice came from the bathroom.
"No problem." Sean, who had taken a sip of water, replied, then picked up the silk yukata and walked into the bathroom.
Jessica? Bell was standing in front of the mirror, tilting his head and wiping his wet hair with a towel, and from time to time there were droplets of water running down his skin on his plump body, and there was already a lot of accumulation on the ground. Sean immediately walked behind her, hung the yukata on the hanger, and then removed the towel and wiped it on her carcass.
I have to say that although she is the kind of American girl who has some charm and a somewhat large skeleton, her flesh is quite good, even through a towel, she still makes people love it.
"Where are you pinching, Sean?" Jessica sneered.
"Pinching where I like." Sean replied with a smile, while she was still young, it would be good to play with this body a few more times.
"By the way, how did you feel on set?" He hugged her from behind and sniffed between her wet hair, "Heard about Nicholas? Cage is interested in you. ”
"Rest assured, I won't have a relationship with any man until you lose interest in me." Jessica said it bluntly.
But Sean likes this kind of straightforwardness, if there was still a little feeling when they first met, but with Jessica becoming the heroine of "The Butterfly Effect", this feeling has completely disappeared. Each other is now only a pure, carnal relationship, you know that even Jennifer, who is now also in the majority of carnal relationships? Aniston, Sean also has a lot of feelings for her, so why hide it so much?
I have to say here, Jessica? Bell is indeed a woman who is very good at figuring out men's thoughts, and taking the initiative to say it by herself can deepen Sean's favor and win more benefits for herself. It is precisely because she is so cooperative, she knows when to do something, and knows how to make a man happy, and even, Sean suspects that she took the initiative to put the yukata outside.
Therefore, when he is on **, he basically plays how he wants, and indulging in this kind of game greatly relieves his inner irritability. It is impossible for others to be like this, even Naomi, who has the best feelings, will only try some things at best, and will definitely refuse if she is too shameful, and Sean can't and won't be reluctant.
Of course, as a reward, he gave enough, and that was the heroine of "National Treasure".
After Sean gave Vladimir too many surprises, Vladimir also gave Sean a surprise, Reincarnation Pictures participated in Disney's preparation, Jerry? Bruckheimer as producer, Nicholas? Investment and production of "National Treasure" in which Cage played the lead role. This is not a simple participation, Samsara Pictures has invested almost 40 million, accounting for almost half of the cost, and all aspects have the right to intervene.
"If we want to expand, it's very necessary to work with big studios and participate in big productions." That's how Vladimir explained.
Well, he has a point, a second-tier film company that has not participated in a big production, no matter how well-known it is, is still among the second and third rate in the eyes of people, and it takes half a day to recall the name when it is mentioned. This is the herd effect, among the second-tier film companies, the new line raised 300 million to produce the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, not to mention, even Miramax, who has been taking the independent film route, has invested more than 70 million in "Cold Mountain".
Now Reincarnation Pictures can be regarded as a large amount of financing of 100 million, no matter what, it has to be expressed, although the establishment of distribution channels also requires money, and it costs a lot of money, this 100 million is definitely not enough - so far, Reincarnation Pictures has reached an agreement with nearly 500 theaters. This number is not enough to see, the size of the distribution capacity mainly depends on how many theaters can be pulled up to show their own films, and there is no problem for an old second-tier top film company like Miramax to independently pull up 2,000 theaters.
Even Lionsgate, the biggest competitor of Reincarnation Pictures at this stage, can easily pull up more than 1,000 of them, and as for the seven major studios, three or four thousand theaters are the basic configuration. Reincarnation Pictures is currently in the distribution channel, the only thing that can be done is the release of DVD, thanks to the blessing of "My Grand Greek Wedding", plus Vladimir, who is very sensitive to distribution, seized the opportunity to take the lead in establishing the DVD distribution channel, and then continue to stabilize. Coupled with the acquired film libraries, even if the quality is quite average, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so the income in this area is still very good.
All in all, it's a long process, and Vladimir's goal is to reach the level that Lions Gate is at today, which is to build more than 1,000 theaters on its own, in the next two to three years. In this case, Reincarnation Pictures still needs to make more financing and more revenue, and while ensuring the funds to expand the channel, it is understandable to take out some of the funds to participate in a big production.
Of course, as for Vladimir cooperating with his old club, whether there is any intention to show off in it, it is unknown.
Sean, who has been in Hollywood for more than three years and has a basic understanding of these operations, is naturally not going to object, and "National Treasure" seems to be worth investing in – at least for the first one.
The more you come into contact with it, the easier it is to recall things like Bruckheimer, a gold-medal producer, and Sean vaguely remembers that in the last years of the first decade of the 21st century, he began to go downhill, and after 2010 he made a film that lost quite a bit, but before that, there was still a film to look forward to.
So, after knowing that the company spent such a large amount of money, his only request was, let Jessica? Bell plays the heroine in it.
"I want to make her popular." Faced with Vladimir's doubts, Sean replied like this.
Then, the other party didn't ask again, as a person who has been in Hollywood for decades, Vladimir can guess the cattiness. It's not a big deal, it's the norm in Hollywood or the entertainment industry, and it would be strange if there wasn't such a thing.
The only problem is that Jessica is somewhat young, while the heroine of the script is between 25 and 30 years old. But then again, Jessica looks a little older, and although she is only 21 years old, it is no problem to say that she is 25 years old.
What's more, this is a commercial blockbuster, and the heroine is just a vase, and it is no problem to change anyone. Otherwise, Sean would have asked Naomi or Katie and Zoe to try it out, so how could it be Jessica's turn.
Later, as the largest investor, coupled with Vladimir's connections, Jessica didn't have much effort to get the role. Of course, Nicholas? Cage is probably interested in her for a part, and Sean is rather strange about it, if he can remember the movies that Jessica "had" worked with Cage, it wouldn't be like this.
But don't take this little thing to heart, as I said before, Jessica is a woman who is very good at figuring out men, and she has answered Sean's question straightforwardly, I believe that at least for a long time, she will keep this promise.
Also because of this, he felt that he could use her again, so when they **** slept peacefully, Sean suddenly asked, "Do you want to have an affair with me, Jesse?" ”
"Rumors?" Jessica's voice was questioning, but he knew it was definitely not what she was really thinking.
Even though she had her back to him, he could have sketched her surprise in his mind, not forgetting what Sean had done when Nicole had a fake scandal.
He deliberately found someone to investigate, although the scandal quickly subsided as Sean and Nicole went out to dinner together, but Jessica got much more exposure than usual, at least for a few days in a row appeared on the front page of some newspapers or on the cover of magazines, although there were also miscellaneous voices from fans, cursing third parties and other voices, but in general, it was still earned.
Therefore, this time Sean took the initiative to find her to spread the scandal, and he must have agreed to it.
"For the gossip before?" Jessica turned, her eyes bright in the darkness.
Even if she thinks very much in her heart, she is not stupid, and the basic situation still needs to be inquired clearly.
"Yes, I was just going out to dinner with a girl, and I was photographed before I could get started, and then I was said to be involved with a married man, and it was obvious that someone was targeting me, so it might be much better if there was a formal, admitted, stable date." Sean said half-truthfully, for ****, there is no need to stick to the bottom line that you can't lie.
"So...... Are you trying to ......," Jessica asked, somewhat uncertain.
"For a year to two years, it's up to you, you need to show sweetness in public, say good things about each other in front of the media, and attend some important events together." Sean didn't sell off either.
Of course, there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, and they know each other.
"Well, if you really need it." Jessica agreed without much thought, it was a surefire deal for her, nothing more than two years or a year of her body, and Sean wouldn't let her do it for nothing, would it?
It's basically settled, in fact, if it weren't for Katie instinctively telling her parents that there was nothing between her and Sean, Sean would prefer to have an affair with her, wouldn't it be better to do this kind of thing with her own woman? Of course, Sean has also approached Jordana and Zoe, and Naomi doesn't have to think about it, she has completely given up on the idea of appearing in front of the media with him.
It's a pity that both Jordana and Zoe refused, the former said, I still have to go to school, I don't have time to play a long-distance relationship with you, and the latter ...... Rumors? Sorry, not interested.
As a last resort, Sean had no choice but to find Jessica, and of course, this matter was also reported to them. Naomi naturally had no opinion, Jordana sneered, and Katie was very unwilling but helpless - although Sean didn't say it explicitly, she also hinted that if she hadn't said it to her parents in a daze, how could he have done it.
But Zoe is very strange, she actually said that it doesn't matter, and before the photo of Sean and Katie was in the newspaper, she still didn't say anything, what's going on?
