It's a pity that James, the little rabbit, can't understand the thinking of middle-aged and elderly people like Roland.

For him, only a person like his father is middle-aged and can't help himself, he will focus on his family, you Roland is obviously the same age as me, how can you talk old-fashioned?

Wait a minute......

People can't help themselves when they reach middle age?

Could it be ......

You can't?

Thinking of this, James suddenly moved his gaze down a little.

In his opinion, if Roland has a problem, he must go to the doctor early!

Don't use my sister as a shield, delaying treatment will affect happiness!

However, when James reminded his brother in a tactful tone, hoping that he could pay more attention, Roland, who wanted to continue preaching, was suddenly full of black lines - if James just felt embarrassed when he saw the rejection letter, then Roland really picked up the pillow and smashed people at this moment!

“Shit！”

"Can you say something nice?"

"What does it mean to believe in science and cure incurable diseases?"

"What do you mean that we have money, don't be afraid that the cost is a little too much?"

"Seeing that you dare to speak so much, do you dare to go to the bathroom with me?"

"I dare to throw soap, do you dare to pick it up!"

Picking up the pillow, Roland, who was full of 'annoyance', directly smashed James out of the house.

Not only that, but when he found out that James had left a stinky shoe in his house when he was running away, he flew up and kicked it out as a leather ball.

Lao Tzu worked hard to enlighten you, but you wiped honey on your mouth?

What does it mean to treat a disease early?

I see you're sick, okay?

What Mencius said is true, 'The taboo of man is to be a good teacher.' ’

Roland swore that if he still relied on and nagged in front of James in the future, then he would be stupid!

Of course, Roland's 'rage' and James's 'melancholy' are just a small episode derived from the end of the celebration party, even if the two of them don't look at each other, but the matter did not reach the ears of the Olsons - the lovelorn James did not work hard and began to lose weight, and Roland, who has regular physical examinations every year, did not take James's guess to heart, because the sense of fulfillment when he woke up every morning can prove everything.

And during the period when Roland met James's request and quarreled with him, the feedback from the outside world did not stop.

On July 15th, the box office data of the Maple Leaf Country and Kimchi Country for a week of release came back, although it is not as exaggerated as America, but it has the guarantee of the previous work and the big hit "Home Alone" last year, the total data still reached 5 million, but unfortunately, Sony, a foreign customer, although it acquired Columbia and Samsung, became one of the eight Hollywood majors, but their overseas distribution, this year is also low, can you imagine, Europe will have to release movies in August at the earliest? And Ah San and Mao Xiong are estimated to have to be delayed until next year......

Although global distribution is the most important means for Hollywood giants to control the market, but-

At this age, even they have to take the time to do it.

Want a simultaneous global release?

That's a dream!

Speaking of Sony, Panasonic, News Corp, and other outsiders, even Warner and Paramount, it will take nearly three months to fully roll out the global market - in this case, Roland no longer expects to be able to see such a thing as an overseas box office in the short term, and the box office bonus, with Cameron, he is not afraid that the picture company will drag on for a few years.

Of course, although there is no overseas data as a detailed reference, the high curve of the local market already speaks for itself.

In front of no one can play + Schwarzenegger + North America's No. 1 child star + summer file, the movie has been released for more than half a month, and the box office market in North America has been squeezed out, although the theater alliance still maintains the plan and arranges when there is no movie to schedule, and continues to schedule films for "Terminator 2", but it is obviously impossible to grow as explosively as before, even if there are fans who keep brushing the box office, the estimated number of 200 million to 220 million US dollars is already the ceiling of the whole movie, imagine "Home Alone" Breaking through 300 million at the same time, that's just a fool's dream, but-

It's an R-rated movie!

R-rated films have always been good sellers of discs, because when selling discs, there are too many small means that can be used, and many guys who are not old but have money in their pockets can watch movies to their heart's content through videotapes, and this is something that theaters do not have.

But now?

R-rated films may take away 1.5 billion US dollars in a month, and in the remaining month, this number may rise to 220 million? Although this kind of achievement is only estimated to be 20 million more than Roland's previous life, but! The benefits from extending the screen time are not the same as the benefits that burst out in the short term!

To put it mildly, the picture company in this life can at least earn more than 20 million because of him.

The North American Cinema Alliance, because of the short-term outbreak of the box office, suffered a net loss of 20 million.

Although this kind of loss is simply an unbearable existence for the North American theater alliance, for the major film companies, this special code is a real extra money!

Because the money in the first four weeks of the film's release has the highest dividends, not only that, but the theater chain must also start the first dividend after 28 days! Being able to get cash in your hands in a short period of time is something that only a fool would refuse!

And when this terrifying dividend rate was exposed, the news that the truck driver and Roland wanted to create a Spider-Man movie was like the last straw that crushed the camel, on July 16, Marvel was listed, compared with Perelman in a suit and leather shoes, a special actor dressed as Spider-Man, it was very conspicuous, and he was alive and kicking in the New York Stock Exchange, as if indicating the upward trend of the stock K-line, and at the close of the day, Marvel's stock price also rose from sixteen to eighteen six.

Even if Roland won't shoot Spider-Man now, the investment is very optimistic about him and Cameron's violent combination of money!

Although this kind of increase can't help those Wall Street bigwigs realize their dreams, according to the truckers, Perelman and them, after seeing the stimulus curve of the day, gave the company a position of about 300 million.

If the operation is good, and 1.8 billion will be credited in two years, it will be a simple matter, this is just cash, and by making Marvel take on debts, the other ancillary values obtained will only be higher.

And this result also made Roland smack.

The guys on Wall Street are all devils who eat people and don't spit out bones!

"Oh...... If Ronald heard this, he would be very happy. ”

Four weeks after the release of "Terminator 2", Marvel was officially listed, and after the stock price stabilized, Roland called the truck driver to come out to dive, and when Cameron heard Roland's emotional voice, he held his head in his hands, leaned on the canvas chair, wore sunglasses, and enjoyed the summer sun, he immediately laughed: "They are engaged in finance, different from others, the more others scold them, the happier they are, because this can reflect how fierce their methods are, only when others hear their names, they fall into fear, They can be invincible in one acquisition after another. ”

"But for those retail investors, their behavior can only cause pain."

Sitting on the edge of the deck, staring at the sea pole, Roland, who was fishing with peace of mind, turned his head and glanced at him, "Money...... It can't appear out of nowhere. ”

"No, No, No, that's not right......"

"If they don't come in mentally prepared, they don't deserve to play the game."

Cameron disagrees with Roland's statement, "Everything is risky, including Ronald and they ......"

"If the original shareholders of the company had been tough, or their original boss, New World, had not sold the company to Ronald, then all this would not have happened today, because ...... New World is not a publicly traded company. ”

"What's more, although their approach may hurt the company's development in the long run, if you only look at the short term, they can bring huge returns to the current shareholders, and isn't this what those shareholders want......

What the truck driver said is not unreasonable, although these financial jackals are not easy to deal with, there are still ways to fight, the simplest is to spend money to buy life - just like when Icahn acquired Netflix, before he began to meddle in the company's affairs, Netflix immediately announced the 'poison pill plan' - if individuals acquire more than 10% of the shares, and institutions acquire more than 20%, the company will issue additional shares at a low price; Netflix would rather commit suicide than hand over the company's sovereignty, and their behavior also made Icahn 'helpless', making a net profit of 1.9 billion in three years, and Netflix spent money to buy it out of the company.

Although many people say that Icahn's behavior caused him to lose 9.6 billion, because if those stocks were held back then, they would have swelled to 12 billion, but - these giant crocodiles exist for a day, and the company will not be able to develop steadily, do you expect Icahn to spend money on streaming? No kidding, they only have money in their eyes.

And their goal is to make money quickly.

Of course, these things are still a little too far for the truck driver and Roland.

Although they cooperated with each other to do a vote, it did not mean that they had already entered.

In Perelman's eyes, Roland and Cameron are just tools who are willing to cooperate with themselves, and they can help when they are fine, but take them to play? Did you pay a billion for admission?

However, although Perelman will not take them to play for money, the name of the family can already make Cameron and Roland eat and drink without worry, and the simplest embodiment is that after the success of "Terminator 2", everyone has no intention of holding a celebration banquet, because - the blind man is really very bad.

If you get cheap and sell this kind of thing, don't do it if you can.

Can't you keep a good record?

Why do you have to stir up other people's nerves?

is the same as Xiao Lizi, who won the box office championship and has no one in his eyes? Oscar judges? Refusing to attend the ceremony?

Isn't this a fool's act?

Compared to him, Spielberg is much more 'smart'.

You know, Spielberg dared to angrily spray all the judges of the Oscars at the Oscars, but after they finished spraying, those who should participate in the future will still participate, for a guy like him who is angry and scolding the judges under the banner of love awards, no one else can beat him! If it's deliberately targeted, it seems that those guys are cautious!

"Eh, by the way, haven't you ever attended a celebration banquet?"

When talking about the celebration banquet, the truck driver directly threw his sunglasses on his head, "I remember, when "Home Alone" was a box office hit, they Fox didn't seem to hold any celebration banquets? ”

As soon as Cameron mentioned this matter, Roland, who was facing the sea, rolled his eyes directly, "Yes......"

"I've been in the circle for a year and a half, and it seems that I have participated in the Golden Globe Awards from beginning to end, recorded a few programs that were released in the later stage of "Home Alone", and as for other projects, I haven't been to ...... once"

That's right, not only James thinks that Roland doesn't look like an insider at all, but even Roland himself feels that he is not an insider......

He hadn't been exposed to it at all.

Of course, this is also normal.

He entered the circle in January last year, and the movie was released in November, and in the process, he had no popularity, and of course there would be no invitation.

After the movie exploded, he filmed in the crew of "Terminator 2" again, plus Joe Pesci was going to rush to the Olympics, and John Hughes was too lazy to meet the Jewish gang, so all the celebration banquets and party invitations were gone......

After the filming of "Terminator 2" was completed, the entire Hollywood was busy with the award ceremony, and before the award ceremony ended, Roland entered the crew of "Captain Hook" again, and went directly to the director's house......

Fooling a kid he likes in front of Spielberg, who likes children?

Isn't that sick?

What now?

The financial vulture has just attacked, and in the face of those guys who clearly want to make money, they don't know how to face Roland and Cameron, let alone invite Roland to a circle party......

So......

Roland's means of entertainment will become extremely scarce.

So scarce that he can only go out to sea with Cameron to dive and fish out of boredom.

As for why it's just the two of them?

Because the two of them are the only ones who have ever interviewed Perelman!

"Wow...... Then you're unlucky......"

"Although he is famous in the circle, he can't see anything?"

After Cameron listened to Roland's narration, the truck driver immediately picked up the wine bottle and blew it directly, and after pouring a few sips, he was physically and mentally comfortable, and then continued: "However, this is okay ......."

"At your age, you shouldn't be going to those events."

"Just film well, don't get involved with those guys, after all, you don't know if anyone will harm you."

"yes...... If you don't go, you won't go......" Roland nodded, agreeing with Cameron's statement.

Truckers are saying this from the bottom of their hearts, because there are too many guys who have been ruined by their intoxicated lives.

If there are a lot of invitations, Roland doesn't go, no matter what, he doesn't give face, and now-

Since people don't call him, is he still happy?

Natural barrier, no need to be in vain!

What's more, unlike any advertising artist or variety show anchor, the actor industry is not suitable to show his face, Yan Wang is overexposed, and any scene he shoots is like a bull terrier, even more so with Brother Chao and Little Cheetah, a pair in "Shadow", everyone still thinks that King Pei wants to tear off the famous brand with Jingzhou, if you want to take filming as your own survival business, then don't expose it if you can't expose it.

Of course, this kind of exposure refers to not being on the show much, not face-to-face contact, not having no news.

Even in the Internet era in later generations, many big names in Hollywood do not open social accounts, and the means for outsiders to contact them, in addition to the agent's social account, is only the email address in the personal information on IMDb Professional Edition.

But that thing, many people also leave it to their own public relations to take care of.

"I haven't had anything to do lately, so what about your future arrangements?"

""Spider-Man" is not in a hurry...... "Jurassic Park" will not be launched until next year at the earliest......"

"These two projects can be put aside for now, "Home Alone 2" is your primary goal at the moment, right?"

Cameron this time, to the point.

Now that he had reached an agreement with Perelman, Roland first threw aside the book that had written more than twenty pages.

Nine out of ten things, I'm still in a hurry!

It's the right thing to get the mental draft of "Jurassic Park" out first.

It's a pity that with the official finalization of the "Home Alone 2" project, the matter of writing the book "Jurassic Park" has been delayed again, for no other reason, it is purely the Fox guy, who wants money and wants to go crazy-

"Terminator 2" has proved to the world how much Roland is loved by his peers, and in this case, he doesn't want to accept children's clothing advertisements, so those children's clothing manufacturers hit Fox with their ideas.

Don't you Roland don't want to accept endorsements?

Then we'll put ads into the movie!

We give Fox money to manipulate the costumes in the movies, so that even if you don't want to pay attention to us as a children's clothing seller, we can make money through you......

In "Home Alone 2", Roland Allen wears the same costume!

Isn't this advertisement just a special code?

As a result, Fox received a large number of offers.

In addition to children's clothing, what family-oriented car manufacturers, what children's favorite toy manufacturers, and what snack and beverage manufacturers are also moved by the wind - no way, who made the result of 10 million in three days, too special code bluffing?

And in the face of those green Franklins, if Fox refuses, it will be a stupid beep!

To put it mildly, those implant incomes combined, all of them are special enough to offset Roland's salary expenses!

That's tens of millions of dollars!

If they refuse, Murdoch will kill them!

But—

Even if Fox happily accepted those implantation invitations and accepted their upfront funds, it doesn't mean that they will hide from Roland and directly let John Hughes, the screenwriter and producer, finish the script.

After all, Roland has too many backers, don't say it's not okay!

If Roland is just an ordinary actor, then Fox can treat Roland in the same way as other child stars, and turn him into a walking billboard to earn more money for himself, because even if the actor knows all this, they can't resist, but - Roland is different, this kind of behavior that seriously infringes on the actor's personal image, the guy behind him, there are countless ways to help Roland tear up the contract.

And at that time, it will be a breach of contract by Fox.

In this way, when John Hughes was writing the script, they Fox kindly informed Roland.

Not only that, but they also raised their limbs to welcome Roland, the guy who can be in charge of the camera in Spielberg's crew, to participate in the script creation - this is your own book that participated in the creation of the whole process, we have already told you the idea of product placement, since you have agreed, then we can rest assured to shoot boldly.

Although Fox's approach is above board, for Roland, this kind of is a real trouble!

And the reason why he had nothing to do and asked Cameron out to fish was to let this guy who had dealt with Fox many times teach him how to plant this special code.

"James, do you know......" After listening to Cameron ask about "Home Alone 2", Roland, who had no hook fishing, directly put back the empty line, dropped the sea rod, walked to the table, and picked up a cup of tea, "When I saw the list of sponsors given by Fox, I was completely confused......"

"Hats, with sponsors......"

"Jacket, with sponsor ......"

"Pants, with sponsor ......"

"Shoes, with sponsors......"

"If I can solve all the problems with all these items that I need to put on my body, then I would like to ask, what about the car? If you tell me that the footage of the car only needs to be reflected in a few seconds when I get in and out of the car, then—"

"Where's the drink?"

"I really don't understand, what brain-dead liquor seller would advertise in a family movie?"

When Roland waved his right hand and told the truck driver about his helplessness, the guy leaning on the side immediately laughed - he was not laughing at Fox's ugly appearance, because the practice of advertising in movies is too common, but laughing at Roland, the guy who used to annoy him to death, is now in trouble.

Of course, laughing and laughing, the solution still has to be helped.

When Roland found that the truck driver seemed to be secretly happy and happy, he stared at it decisively, and when Roland's Eye of Death was about to exert force, Cameron did not delay any longer, and said directly:

"Roland, this is a simple matter!"

"Does Coca-Cola know?"

"Back then, in order to promote themselves and discredit Pepsi, they directly bought Columbia Pictures."

"They let the decent in the movie drink Coke and the villain drink Pepsi, so as to leave a bad image of the bad guy who drinks Pepsi to the audience."

"Although they have sold Columbia Pictures, the publicity effect of that year was still good."

"But it's a very normal thing for children to drink Coke!" Roland was not satisfied with the truck driver's statement, "If it was a Coca-Cola advertisement, wouldn't I just drink it in front of the camera?" ”

"But now it's wine!"

"If I drink and the picture goes out, it's Fox!"

"Because it's illegal!"

Of course, Cameron couldn't have instigated Roland to drink, and the reason why he talked about Pepsi was actually to tell Roland that there were actually many ways to solve the problem, "but you can use other means to show the picture of wine......"

"For example, like Coca-Cola, let someone else drink Pepsi?"

"I don't know if you've watched Superman 2 in '80."

"In order to open up the women's market, in order to let more people buy their own cigarettes, Marlboro spent money to make Superman's girlfriend Louise start smoking, Marlboro's logo and smoking shots appeared in large numbers, and this loss-making movie, because of the existence of Marlboro, was repeatedly broadcast in the prime time of major TV stations......"

"So, wine is actually very easy to solve."

"Of course, even if the sponsor wants you to come along with the wine."

"This problem can be solved."

"For example, lighting a fire with wine?"

"Although this action is dangerous, it is also the use of alcohol in an emergency, right?"

"Home Alone" is an absurd comedy movie after all, if it is according to the reality situation, Joe and Daniel have died countless times in the first part, since they can't die, then how to do it, others will not think that the plot is problematic."

"You ......"

"Do you understand?"
