America: Starting with the Acquisition of MGM

Chapter 112 110 Isn't This a Closed Loop?

Chapter 112 Isn’t this a closed loop?

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door and Eric woke up from his sleep.

Looking around, Gadot had disappeared.

She looked at the time and saw that it was already half past eight. Today was Monday. She must have gone to the set of "Happy Death Day".

"What are you doing? Who's knocking on the door!"

The door handle was turned open, and Judy stood there holding her waist: "Eric, why don't you get up? It's time to go to work!"

"Work? What the hell, I run the company. I can work if I want to, but I can't if I don't want to!"

"Get out of here, I haven't had enough sleep yet."

Judy stared at him dissatisfied: "Can the boss not go to work? Can the boss sleep in?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I be the boss?"

"Wait a minute, you used to say you were dealing with things, so you were a few hours late, so you weren't sleeping in too."

"Fart, you really have work to deal with. Close the door and get out of here."

Wow!

Suddenly she felt a gust of cool wind, and the quilt was blown away by Judy.

"Wow, it's even bigger than yesterday!"

Eric looked at her speechlessly: "Judy Newhouse, you are a woman after all, please look a little bit like a woman, okay?"

"Based on your behavior just now, I can directly go to court to sue you for sexual harassment, do you understand?"

"And since it's morning, of course it's going to be bigger!"

Judy touched her chin: "But didn't you just finish it last night and you recovered in such a short time?"

"Isn't it okay for me to be born with supernatural powers and talents? Bring me the quilt quickly, it won't be good if Refaeli sees it!"

"What are you afraid of! Refaeli has left, and now there are only two of us left in the room. It's not like I haven't seen it before. Which part of your body have I not seen during the four years of college?"

As she said that, she suddenly came closer, grabbed Eric's handle and rubbed it.

"It turns out it feels like this, it's really hard."

Eric slapped her hand away. That's what Judy is like. There is one state at work and another state in life. The roles of boss and friend are very separate.

After this episode, Eric was finally pulled out of bed.

Judy also followed Lincoln to the company as she wished.

In the office, Bordeaux handed over a report.

"Boss, this is the start-up plan for three projects. According to the producer's calculations, the total cost is estimated to be around US$40 million."

Eric looked at it and saw on the report "A Quiet Place," "Breathless," and "The Hangover."

Among them, "The Hangover" has the highest production cost, with an estimated cost of 20 million U.S. dollars; followed by "A Quiet Place" with an estimated cost of 15 million U.S. dollars; and "Breathless" is a small-budget film with an estimated cost of 6 million U.S. dollars.

After thinking for a while, Eric changed the cost of "Breathless" to $5 million, and then changed the cost of "The Hangover" to $30 million, while "A Quiet Place" remained unchanged.

"The scene of "Breathless" is actually very small. It's mainly just a villa. The most important and important role is the blind veteran. Except for this role, all other actors are newcomers, or those who have acting skills but are not well-known. Actors, you’ll have to decide on the specifics.”

"By the way, Tom Hardy, Fassbender and James McAvoy can audition for several young people in this drama, and if they are suitable, they will be cast."

"In addition, ask them if they are willing to sign a film contract with MGM. If possible, sign as many films as possible, and finally give me a list."

Bordeaux wrote down the matter: "Boss, how many of them do you like very much?"

"The acting skills are good, the basic skills are solid, and he is very spiritual. He is a good seedling worth cultivating."

Eric said and pointed to "The Hangover": "The production cost of "The Hangover" cannot be saved. Let's go to Las Vegas to shoot it. In addition, the key to this drama is not only the performance of the trio, And the big-name guest appearances.”

"For example, I hope that Tyson himself will be invited, and there will be no tricky shooting methods such as not showing his face. Other surprise characters who don't appear often can also find big names. Don't be stingy about the cost in this regard."

"The role of Phil Winnecke is reserved for Ryan Reynolds. I have promised it to him a long time ago. The other roles will go through formal auditions."

"Also, I want to give the role of the daughter in "A Quiet Place" to Elizabeth Olsen. What do you think?"

Bordeaux shrugged: "I think it's appropriate. You are the boss, and your decisions have never been wrong."

Eric looked at him with a smile: "When did you learn to flatter?"

Bordeaux also smiled: "When I decided to mature myself."

"Well, it seems you did it. In the evening, you invited Billy, Warren and Judy to come to my house for dinner. You haven't been here for a while after Christmas, and Emily often talks about you."

Bordeaux nodded: "I promise I will remember this most clearly. In addition, the news just came this morning that the production of "Kung Fu" produced by Xiangjiang Xinghui Company has started filming."

After recalling the contract, Eric said: "It's almost time to start filming in early May, so let's pay Xinghui. First, send the first issue to Stephen Chow. Who will the producer choose?"

"Baggins, the old man from the production department, he flew over last week."

"Okay, I understand, go ahead and do the work."

Bordeaux turned around and left, and when he reached the door, he heard Eric calling him again.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered, how is the progress of the project "Monster"? Since the filming of "Transformers" was completed, Patty Jenkins seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there has been no news about her for a while."

"Hehe, boss, she just didn't come to see you, but we just met last week. She came to the company to discuss the budget, but it hasn't been finalized yet."

"It hasn't been finalized for so long? Is there any problem?"

Bordeaux said helplessly: "In fact, it's the problem of the heroine. Patty Jenkins is contacting Charlize Theron. Whether Charlize Theron can be negotiated is the key to the cost of this movie."

"But I think her choice is problematic. To be more precise, everyone in the production department thinks her choice is problematic. That's Charlize Theron, a sexy goddess who was a model. She doesn't match the heroine of this movie at all. Shouldn't we find an ugly woman who is big and strong?"

"Eric, if you hadn't completely delegated power to Patty Jenkins, we would have stopped her from doing this confusing thing."

Eric couldn't help but recall the scene of "Monster". To be honest, before the film was completed, who could have imagined that Charlize Theron would become that ghost.

However, award ceremonies all over the world seem to like actors to dress up ugly, and the Queen's acting skills are really superb, so she finally won the Oscar for Best Actress.

"According to the development of the plot, Patty Jenkins is likely to bring Charlize Theron here. I can go to visit her then. Your Queen." Eric thought to himself.

In the evening, Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

Everyone's stomachs were full, and the little nanny brought dessert again.

Warren rubbed his growing belly: "God, although my stomach is protesting, my tongue keeps saying more and more."

Judy frowned: "You'd better shut up, Warren. I think you've gained at least 20 pounds since the last time we met."

"You used to be like a football, but now you're moving in the direction of basketball."

"Look at your breasts, they're much bigger than mine. I'm D, and you're at least F."

Warren looked down at his breasts and supported them with both hands. The eye-catching action caused everyone to vomit.

Eric slapped his forehead: "Warren, a good man doesn't have a mistress. You really should lose weight. I'm worried that you'll get sick if you keep going like this."

Billy said: "I'm not worried. Go to the hospital for a check-up now. You may have obesity."

"You must lose weight, otherwise if you get sick one day, your parents, brothers and sisters will blame Eric to death."

Persuaded by everyone, Warren could only put the dessert back.

The pain of losing weight is well known. The difficulty of restraining the desire for food and drink is just as great as restraining the desire for physiology. It is very difficult to rely on one's willpower to lose weight.

"Warren, do you have a favorite girl? In your case, you can only lose weight successfully if you find a woman to supervise you."

Warren shook his head.

"What about those who like you? There is none? You are now a senior executive of AK Films, and no young actress has ever expressed her feelings to you?"

"There are definitely some, but I know why they are doing it. Anyway, it is not love." Warren said awkwardly.

Bordeaux slapped the fat man: "Are you crazy? This is Hollywood, the entertainment industry. Do you want to find true love here? "Titanic" is fake, sober up, have fun if you have, don't dream."

"But I still want to look for it. To be honest, I already have someone I like in my heart."

"Who?" The four asked in unison.

"Bema."

"Who?"

"Bema Hadi."

The other three were unfamiliar, so Eric naturally knew who it was.

He looked at the fat man in surprise: "Warren, do you know that Bema Hadi is already 35 years old?"

"35 years old! Do you have an Oedipus complex?" Judy exclaimed.

"What's wrong with 35 years old? Does love have anything to do with age? I have been with Bema for half a year, and she is really a very charming woman."

"But Bema Hadi is a career-oriented woman, are you sure you can control her?" Eric asked a soul-searching question.

"I can't control her, just let her control me." Warren muttered in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, he instantly became the most handsome boy in the Cooper family, and the four of them gave him a thumbs up to express their admiration.

After chatting for a while, Eric called Billy aside.

Bang!

The beer in his hand clinked together.

"Billy, weren't you in the UK for a while? Going to get the copyright of "House of Cards". How is your relationship with Michael Dobbs?"

"It's OK. I've met him a few times. I'm more familiar with his wife Evelyn because Michael Dobbs is often not at home. His wife is always there."

"When I wanted to contact him, I could only start with Evelyn. The relationship between the couple is still very good. They have been together for decades. Michael Dobbs also agreed to authorize "House of Cards" to us for Evelyn's sake."

"Why do you suddenly ask about this old man? Is there anything?"

"I remember you once said that he was a politician, right? It seems that he is a politician with some power." Eric continued to ask.

Billy nodded: "Not only some power, Michael Dobbs is a member of the Conservative Party, the former chief of staff of the Thatcher government, and now the vice chairman of the Conservative Party. He has great power."

"Eric, what happened? Why are you suddenly asking about this person?"

After a long breath, Eric looked at Billy: "It's good that you can contact Michael Dobbs. I may need you to go to the UK again recently."

"What for?" Billy asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when the time comes."

Looking at Billy who was confused, Eric patted his shoulder: "Let's go back and have a drink."

Eric was naturally thinking about Michael's matter. Martin Basher, the reporter who framed Michael, belonged to the BBC, and the BBC was a British media.

To deal with a reporter, even a famous reporter, for a political bigwig like Michael Dobbs, it's just a matter of a few words.

Through communication with Michael, Eric judged that there was a high probability that there was an improper transaction between this guy and Sony.

Whether the BBC is involved, Eric thinks not, because there is no conflict of interest between the BBC and Michael.

Even if you want to create a hot spot, you don't have to choose Jackson. Going to the Middle East, Asia, or Africa to shoot some materials will definitely attract more attention than entertainment stars.

If it really involves only one reporter, it is not impossible to ask Michael Dobbs to get some evidence if you are willing to pay a fee.

Once the key evidence is really obtained, if the situation develops to an uncontrollable point at that time, it will be a killer.

"Damn, it seems that I have to be Liu Xiaoli again!"

In addition to Martin Basher, there is also Jody Chandler, the accuser of the pedophilia case in 1993.

In the original time and space, Michael Jackson was completely cleared of all charges after his death in 2009, because Jody Chandler finally told the truth.

He said that the accusation in 1993 was completely false. It was a story made up by his father Evan Chandler to extort money from MJ. It was completely a false accusation.

At this point, the public finally believed that MJ was innocent, but unfortunately he had already passed away. He never really cleared his name until his death.

Shortly after Jody Chandler issued a clarification announcement, Evan Chandler committed suicide on November 5, 2009.

This bastard left the world completely before he was judged by the public and fans, which was a bargain for him.

According to subsequent investigations, the recording of Evan Chandler's conspiracy with the psychologist was also exposed.

In other words, the evidence does exist, and as long as it can be found, the false accusation against MJ can be completely washed away.

Thank you for your 1,000-coin reward from the calm and wise boss.
