At the beginning, Sean had the idea of starting preparations immediately, and then making it in a hurry to be released on this year's Halloween schedule. Anyway, the investment is at most the same as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and it doesn't take much time for filming and post-production, plus Shimizu Chong has agreed to direct, everything is not a problem.

But after careful consideration, he gave up this plan, first of all, Samsara Pictures already has a horror film scheduled for Halloween, and after entering February, it has already started shooting in Texas, and it would be stupid to have another one and fight with himself.

Secondly, the American version of "Midnight Bells", in which Naomi was recommended by Nicole Kidman to play the heroine, should also be released on Halloween if nothing else.

There is no doubt that two Japanese-style horror films competing at the same time, only diverting the audience, is a bad thing for that movie.

What's more, Naomi came out so easily, how could Sean hinder the big hit of the movie she starred in? Besides, if the American version of "Midnight Bell" aroused the audience's interest in Japanese-style horror films in the front, then the American version of "The Grudge" may be able to attract more people later.

As for the filming of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", it is a horror film of two styles with the American version of "Midnight Bell", and there is a fixed fan base, so there is no need to worry too much.

Anyway, the remake rights have been obtained, Takashi Shimizu has also signed a contract, and the Japanese version of "The Grudge" has not been officially released, so there is no need to worry about what may happen.

So Sean quickly put this idea behind him, and by the way, when Katie asked what to do if there was a conflict in the schedule, he used "I'll adjust the schedule for you" to coax her into a smile, and then forget about the rest.

Only Katie wants to coax like this, after all, she doesn't know anything, it won't be so troublesome to change to Naomi or Jordana, and as for Jennifer, the relationship between them is still more maintained by the flesh.

Although the two of them are unusually open in bed, and Jennifer never puts on a stand, she has tried all kinds of postures and plays, and the previous Golden Globe Awards and Sean also found a place to secretly listen to the outside conversation, and also played prostitutes more than once in the prostitute game, but always refused to understand each other deeply.

As long as Sean consciously mentions some topics of life and feelings, Jennifer will transfer it as soon as possible, even if she occasionally answers two sentences, as long as she reacts, she will immediately keep silent.

"You know, Sean, our relationship is based on a situation where we know each other well, but we don't know each other too well, so anything that might affect this point can't come up." When Jennifer said this, she was in the bath and had just finished playing with Sean, and although she was lazily snuggling in his arms, her tone was extremely serious.

Sean had to give up this plan for the time being, anyway, it was enough to be able to roll the sheets with the American sweetheart so unscrupulously for two years in a row.

Having said that, although Naomi and Jordana don't need to be coaxed like Katie, it doesn't mean that they don't need to be coaxed. The former only chose to ignore it temporarily for various reasons, and if Sean didn't work harder, she would probably choose to leave in the future.

Well, the relationship between them is still complicated, and even after the heart-to-heart of "Fast and Furious", Sean still has a hard time determining what Jordana thinks about him.

Of course, he knew that she had feelings for herself, and he had feelings for her. Just like during this time, with the start of filming of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the two of them had to talk on the phone for at least dozens of minutes every day.

"You have to help, if it weren't for you, how could I risk running into such a desolate place?" A few days after the filming of the movie began, Jordana suddenly said something.

"Don't worry, the place chosen by the crew is very suitable, there won't really be a murderer with a human skin mask and a chainsaw waiting for you, little Joe," Sean said to him as if he didn't understand, "Of course, if you're really worried, I can ask two bodyguards to come and protect you." ”

"Sean!" Jordana immediately screamed over there, with a strange smell, and Sean could almost sketch in his mind how she rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay," Sean put away his teasing mood, "So, what are you going me to tell your father?" ”

"I don't care, you told me to have the courage to do what you want to do. I've done it now, but trouble has come with it, a lot of trouble, and since it's because of you, of course you should solve the problem that arises. Jordana then regained her previous vigor.

"Got it," Sean sighed deliberately weakly, "how about I think about it first?" That's not going to be easy, little Joe. ”

"You'd better hurry." Jordana hung up the phone a little smugly.

Weishenme want to hurry? Sean, who had made a depressed expression just now, immediately laughed as well. Isn't it better to delay as long as possible in this case?

The whole thing is simply that when Jordana promised her father to go to Yale college, the family asked her to concentrate on school and not sit in other places. Of course, this is just a verbal request, and it doesn't explicitly say that she can't make movies, so Jordana, who was "instigated" by Sean, ignored this and agreed to play the heroine of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

As a result, the family was naturally very unhappy, and Jordanna naturally had to argue with her parents. To be exact, with her father, her mother has always supported her to do what she wants to do, but at this time, her mother will definitely not intervene, so Jordana can only fight alone.

If it was before, she might have reluctantly accepted her father's arrangement, just like before, but under Sean's influence, she has begun to be able to talk about the focus and gradually shifted to herself, so this time she said that she would not agree to quit from the crew, even if her father threatened not to support her in the future.

However, although the words were said and the problem really began to be considered, Jordana began to worry. Anyway, after all, she is used to living with everything arranged by her parents, and although the dependence is not as strong as Katie and Camilla, it is still there after all.

So, I didn't know what to do for a while, so I simply called Sean here and left the matter to him to deal with.

Sean's reaction to this was ridiculous, this is your housework, how can I meddle? But on second thought, it seems like a good opportunity, you see, who can Jordanna rely on in the event of a conflict with her family? Of course, it can only be Sean, who influenced her to do so.

To use an inappropriate analogy, like Camilla, who has been confined at home for a long time, can only come to Sean to find freedom, so as long as Jordana can't solve this in a day, many things don't have to worry too much.

It can't be said that Sean is taking advantage of people's danger, this kind of thing is really difficult to meddle in as an outsider, Jordana can only handle family relationships on her own, what Sean has to do is to provide her with support and encouragement, such as providing more and better roles and opportunities.

This is not a big deal, you must know that not long after this phone call, there was good news from Vladimir's side, after a series of negotiations, AIG and Falcon Group together put out $30 million to invest in Reincarnation Pictures.

Compared to the big studios, this investment is only an investment in a medium-sized film, but it is a very good start for Samsara Pictures.

As I said before, in the United States, where the financial market has been basically perfected, it is basically impossible to eat alone, and if you want to become bigger, you must know how to share and attract more investors.

Although it is only a financing of 30 million, it means that Reincarnation Pictures has begun and has officially embarked on the road of expansion, which has been completely distinguished from those nominal leather bag production companies.

Of course, they're still making low-budget films, and in fact they're only going to be able to make a few medium-budget films for at least three or four years, unless every film does as good as My Grand Greek Wedding.

But who knows what the future holds? Sean racked his brains to scrape it in his memory, and he did scrape something, maybe not every movie can achieve the benefits of "My Grand Greek Wedding", but it may surprise many people when the time comes.

When the time comes, you will be able to get more funds, divide a smaller equity, and you don't have to invest the same amount of money every time to ensure your right to speak.

After getting 30 million investment from the two major investment groups, Sean immediately invested 30 million in the production company in his personal name, not to invest, otherwise the equity in his hands will immediately shrink by more than half.

You must know that Samsara Pictures only had 500,000 funds when it was first established, and after the production of "My Grand Greek Wedding" and the start of big sales, Sean added another 5 million funds. Then the film revenue is deducted from all expenses, costs and net profit sharing to the creative team, and there is a surplus of more than 10 million.

These combined with the various things purchased to avoid taxes, as well as the rights to "My Grand Greek Wedding" and the sales of good haode DVDs, the asset is valued at about the early 2,000s.

In addition, Sean had already given 15% of the equity to Vladimir and 5% to the financial director who did the accounting, so once the 30 million was invested, Sean's equity would be greatly reduced.

Even if the voting rights and the equity possessed cannot be equated, if the other party wants to squeeze himself out, he only needs to win over others, so Sean also invested 30 million to ensure that his equity can basically reach 60% to maintain an absolute advantage temporarily.

Although he knew that he couldn't keep it forever, and he didn't particularly care about the control of the company, and he had prepared a plan after consulting with Vladimir, he certainly shouldn't use it now.

It doesn't matter, since you have made money, you should spend it, just like those tax avoidance means, buy antiques and buy equipment, buy this and buy that, you can use it to deduct taxes, in other words, it is to urge you to spend money, in order to promote market circulation.
