Charlize ended like this, in an unexpected way, so even when he came out of her house the next day, Sean still had a little bit of disbelief. However, it doesn't matter what he thinks, because Charlize has already made a decision, and he didn't object to it in the first place. In this way, it is difficult to say what Charlize will do if he wants to break the contract, although in the past year or so, they have mostly drunk and chatted together, but Sean knows that the other party is a person who must do what he decides.

Well, from now on, except for Jennifer one more ...... Well......****? Sean doesn't know how to describe their relationship with each other, unlike Jennifer who simply solves physical problems, and doesn't tolerate and accept him like Naomi, if he leaves, he still talks about everything like before - this still needs to be tested - **** talk when necessary, and that inexplicable agreement, it's really weird.

Maybe I should be a little proud. Sean said to himself with some self-deprecation in his heart. He could indeed be proud that since Charlize was able to confess the darkest side of her heart to his face, it did show that she had a lot of feelings for him, and it was a very complicated feeling. Moreover, if it was a previous life, Charlize would probably be ready to get married at this time, and then postpone and break up with the other party a few years later, he has changed a lot of things.

Let's leave it like this for the time being, although the current situation is a headache, but after all, it is better than the previous kind of complete severance of relations, as for the future, it will be better later.

Fortunately, there were reporters who had infiltrated the tabloids at the party that day, or gossip collectors - it was published in the newspaper the next day, according to a well-informed source, Charlize? Theron holds a customary apple-like object at the party and invites people to take a few puffs, laughing as if he's getting too high.

Of course, this is all news published in tabloids, and there are no photos, so it is not very convincing. What's more, the people who saw this didn't notice the conflict between Sean and Charlize, otherwise God knows what kind of tricks the media were playing with him again.

You know, the news that Sean and Jessica were dating very officially didn't take long to spread, and at this time, they had any contact with other women, even if there was a conflict, reporters could write about it in a capital letter. This will undoubtedly cause quite a lot of trouble for Sean and Charlize, but Jessica shouldn't care, anyway, they have reached an agreement with each other, and the exposure during this period is far more than in the past few years, and the effect is quite good, and she certainly doesn't mind a little more.

So, if this situation really happens, it should be Frederick who has a headache, who made Sean and Jessica's agent him? From this point of view, Sean is doing him a favor by letting Sanders act as a proxy and then divert it. Of course, what he thinks, that's his own business.

Talking about the rest, after solving the Charlize matter, the filming of "The Aviator" became smoother, and it was basically possible to complete the filming in early November, but after a little rest, Sean would have to go to the "Fast and Furious" crew again, which was really busy. Over there, David? Shaw's script outline has been taken, and after reading it, Sean immediately made a decision to set up a project, striving to broadcast it in the fall of next year, and at the same time told Vladimir to get part of the copyright.

Because of Gregor? House was definitely worth the investment, Sean didn't remember it so clearly, but seeing that this doctor had a weird temper in the setting and didn't like to follow the rules, he remembered something somewhat, although not entirely sure, but it was okay to gamble.

However, there was good news on the TV series, but there was a hindrance on the movie side, and when Vladimir went to negotiate with Hasbro, he was told that there were two veteran producers, Don? Murphy and Tom? Di Santo had already talked to them and got the rights to the film. This is really bad news, and according to the information gathered by Vladimir, the reason why it was a step late is also related to the Bush administration's launching of the Iraq war.

Well, to be specific, Don? Murphy first approached Hasbro and wanted to adapt another of their toys: Special Forces. However, according to the background of the toy, the special forces base was in the desert of the Middle East, so when the Bush administration launched the Iraq War and met with national opposition, Hasbro called off the project.

As a toy merchant who is interested in horizontal development, they also have vision and ambition, so they suggested adapting Transformers, and at the same time found another producer, Tom? Di Santo joined. Murphy didn't have an intuitive impression of the Transformers market, but Di Santo was a fan of Transformers, so he naturally supported and promoted it with both hands, and when Vladimir came to the door, they and Hasbro had already reached a preliminary agreement.

But it's not completely out of the ordinary, even if Murphy and Di Santo get the adaptation rights, they can still only choose to work with big productions. According to Vladimir's analysis, Hasbro will definitely bring in more producers in order to ensure its own interests, and will not choose to let one of them monopolize the power.

"The market for Transformers is huge, but the risks are also very high, and live-action movies are not so easy to make, and both Hasbro and the production company will move forward cautiously, so it will be very efficient to start shooting by next year." Vladimir said with certainty, "As long as we maintain the current momentum, we still have a chance." ”

In this case, Sean can only fully support him, after all, Vladimir is the one who runs the company, and I believe that he can make the most advantageous choice.

Because of this, when the other party felt that "Wedding Proud" had a lot of operability, Sean also agreed. This script is the one I met at Charlize's party at the time, Steve? Fabel's work, Sean promised to give him a chance, and naturally he would not break his promise, but Vladimir really liked it.

The next thing to mention is the release of two films, the first of which is Sophia? Coppola's "Lost in Translation," which was run by Vladimir, was screened in 50 theaters at the end of September.

Although Samsara Pictures can currently pull up 500 theaters independently, these theaters are all partnerships, and if they want to release a movie at the same time, it must be a film with good box office prospects, and "Lost in Translation" as an independent film obviously doesn't look like it is in this range.

However, this situation soon changed, because in the first week, these 50 theaters received 200,000 box office in three days, and the word of mouth was quite good, just like at the Venice Film Festival, which was unanimously praised by critics.

"A delicate and meticulous look at an impossible romance." - San Francisco Chronicle

"This funny, bittersweet film is a cross-cultural metaphor for those who have lost themselves in life." - The Hollywood Reporter

In this case, it is natural to invest a lot, so the theater chain quickly expanded to 200, and the theater line expanded, and the box office will naturally expand, and the second week got 400,000 yuan in three days on the weekend, an increase of 200%, and the total box office is close to the million mark.

Although the expansion of theaters is the main reason for this, it also shows the potential of this movie, so by the third week, the number of theaters has increased to 500, and it may increase later.

Theater bosses want profits, as long as the box office is good enough and the potential is deep enough, even theaters other than the partner will take the initiative to negotiate.

Then, Vladimir signed contracts with many theater chains for long-term screenings, and what ideas he had again, Sean could have guessed how much. Basically, according to the current box office data, there is no problem at all in recovering costs, but if you can make money, you may not be able to make much, "Lost in Translation" is not "Saw Horror" after all.

In that case, why not give up one profit and lay the groundwork for another goal? I believe that the old Coppola will definitely play a role in this, just like helping to create public opinion this time.

Samsara Pictures didn't do much publicity for "Lost in Translation", but many critics watched and commented on it immediately after its release, even if there was a factor of participating in the Venice Film Festival and winning a voting award, but to say that the old Coppola did not operate in it, it is certainly impossible.

With this layer of protection, and Sophia herself definitely wants to be affirmed, then Vladimir's extravagant hopes are not a big deal.

So Sean still supports that if the company wants to develop, nothing can be left behind.

Many things are like this, if there is a disadvantage in one aspect, then there is an advantage in another aspect, and "The Grudge", which has been scheduled to be released on Halloween, is like this, with the cooperation of Reincarnation Pictures and Miramax, and the blessing of last year's American version of "Midnight Bell" was a bumper harvest, and a total of more than 3,000 theaters were released. The result also lived up to their expectations, winning 40 million at the box office in the first week, unceremoniously occupying the first place in the North American box office list, which is definitely dazzling.

The word-of-mouth is also good, and there is absolutely the media before the release, this kind of "Midnight Bell" will not have any good results, after all, with Sean's intervention, the highly praised Japanese version of "The Grudge" is gone, and people can only compare "Midnight Bell". However, as soon as the movie was released, these guys changed their tunes, saying that this is a very stylish Japanese-style horror film, which is very exciting and worth watching.

Although "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell" are similar in many places, they are still different after all, especially "The Grudge" highlights a feature, that is, as long as you fall into the curse, no matter where you are, you will not be spared. Bedrooms, hospitals, corridors and even quilts, it is said that when the movie is shown, the most screaming place is a character being dragged away from the bed by a coconut, and many people dare not cover themselves when they sleep at night.

So there is such a result, at least three weeks, at most four weeks, the North American box office will definitely exceed 100 million, of course, there is no need to think about anything else.
