Chapter 108 Coming Bad News (Ask for Subscription)
The morning sun shines slowly through the windows, giving a soft warmth.
Ryan looked at Monica Bellucci in his arms, and suddenly gave birth to a kind of satisfaction, both physical and spiritual.
Last night, the two of them were entangled for hours, playing a lot of new tricks, changing four or five sets of clothes alone, as well as six or seven pairs of stockings, high heels, boots, etc., making the apartment full of clothes, shoes, stockings, and messy.
Of course, if there were more tricks, it would be perfect.
Don't think about it, it's just a small private fashion show, Monica Bellucci is back to her old job, she made a cameo as a model, and there was nothing unhealthy about it.
As for the audience, Ryan is naturally alone.
"What time is it?" Monica Bellucci seemed to be woken up by Ryan's dishonest hands, and asked the time with a sigh.
Ryan glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside, "Half past nine, you can sleep a little longer." ”
There is a flight to the UK at noon, and Monica Bellucci needs to take this flight to the UK to shoot the rest of the footage of "Leaving Las Vegas", which will take about ten days.
So, I played a little bit of a special show last night.
"If you don't sleep, you need to go to the crew first and deal with a little thing. Monica Bellucci got up and got out of bed directly naked, picking up the clothes, shoes, and stockings on the ground, one by one.
After a while, Monica Bellucci changed into her clothes and kissed Ryan gently, "If you get up now, maybe we still have a little time to eat together." ”
"A sweet breakfast!" Ryan quipped, began to get up and change his clothes, accompanied Monica Bellucci to a sweet breakfast, and drove out of the apartment separately.
Coming downstairs in the studio, Ryan parked his car, walked into the studio, and began to deal with a mess of things.
The hype in the media for more than a week almost turned into a negative scandal.
In the end, Ryan had to come forward in person, clarify the facts with the media, and even give Richard Gere a phone call to explain a little.
At least he didn't intervene in their marriage.
Ryan's explanation, Richard Gere was very calm, and after just talking for almost something, he ended the call.
He divorced Cindy Crawford, of course, not because of a third party.
And, in the face of the newspaper news??Richard Gere didn't react much.
In the first place, he had signed a divorce agreement with Cindy Crawford, and he didn't care if she was in a relationship or not, and he had no right to stop it.
Second, it's no secret that Cindy Crawford has signed with CAA, and Ryan's relationship with CAA is known to almost all of Hollywood.
With CAA sandwiched in the middle, it is impossible for the two to have a relationship beyond friendship.
This is the most basic common sense in Hollywood.
On top of that, Ryan has another tricky thing to deal with.
Since the Oscars ended, there seems to be a bit of a situation on the litmus side.
First, he said that the good funds were not in place, and then he began to change his plans for Ryan's proposed producer candidate, and proposed the idea of reducing the investment in the film?
At the Vanity Fair dinner that day, Michael Ovitz didn't just talk about it, but really got into action.
An operation dedicated to him.
"Michael Ovitz!"
Ryan suddenly had a headache Michael Ovitz, who was about to become president of Disney, apparently no longer cared about Twentieth Century Fox.
Even, he has some suspicions, behind this matter, there seems to be the shadow of Disney CEO Michael Eisner.
Michael Ovitz was one of Michael Eisner's chosen successors, but in the end, Michael Owitz failed to stay at Disney and was kicked out by a group of company directors.
For this, Michael Eisner decided to get Disney to pay $120 million.
Just as Ryan was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Helen suddenly walked in hurriedly from outside, "Carter Eisner of the Litmus Test is coming soon, and it is very sudden, and it is probably not good news." ”
Thinking of the recent action of the touchstone, Ryan stood up suddenly, and it was really not good news, Carter Eisner is not only the head of the touchstone, but also the current Disney CEO Michael Eisner, his uncle.
If even he had to come in person, I am afraid that the cooperation with the touchstone would most likely face a breakdown.
Immediately, inform Sophia that once the touchstone side announces the end of cooperation, she needs to take control of the situation immediately, and the town renovation project cannot be stopped. ”
"And tell Swift to be ready to collect his funds, and if necessary, liquidate all the stocks. ”
After speaking, Ryan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said: "Once the touchstone unilaterally announces the cessation of cooperation, then there are only two options in front of us, the first is to temporarily freeze the filming plan of "Truman's World" and find new collaborators, and the second is to raise funds to shoot the film first, and then negotiate the release of the film with Twentieth Century Fox or Paramount at any time. ”
"Regardless of the end result, it will take a lot of money, at least about $10 million, to fill the funding problems caused by the litmus test, Helen, you should know what I mean. ”
Helen nodded solemnly and said, "I'm going to urge Twentieth Century Fox to pay the box office share of "Saw 2" right away." ”
As long as Twentieth Century Fox pays for it, a little faster, even if the touchstone terminates the collaboration, the studio still has enough funds to continue preparing the crew.
Of course, you can also seek support from community banks.
As for temporarily stopping the preparation of the crew, unless it is a last resort, and Ryan does not want to do so, otherwise the funds invested in the early stage will be wasted.
However, it is estimated that Twentieth Century Fox may not pay immediately, unless it makes substantial concessions on the investment ratio of the next "Chainsaw". Helen said helplessly.
The box office share of "Chainsaw 2" can be fully received within half a year, even if it is fast, the time for the overseas box office share to arrive will be even longer, and it will take a long time to wait slowly, at least a year, before it will arrive one after another
This is normal in Hollywood.
"Let's see what happens. Ryan frowned, "At least for a while, the funds are quite sufficient." ”
"As long as Twentieth Century Fox can pay on time, there should be time for it. ”
Of course, you can't put too much faith in any Hollywood studio, including Twentieth Century Fox, which has already worked with it a few times.
"Contact the community bank last time, and it would be better to lend $10 million. Ryan thought for a moment, it was better to be more prepared, and not just count on Twentieth Century Fox, lest something unexpected happen.
"As for Carter Eisner!"
Ryan had a gleam in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let's see what his plans are for coming over this time." ”
The most important thing at the moment is not the funding, but the impact of the Litmus Stone's real termination of the cooperation, and Carter Eisner's intentions.
It's better to have a false alarm.
Of course, prepare for the worst.
