The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused
Chapter 579 Chet Hanks
Although he has decided to re-examine the cooperation with Mindley Films, Xia Yu still took out the "Twilight Series" script symbolically and pushed it in front of Bruce, resisting the urge to give him two large pen pockets, laughing road:
"Mr. Bruce, this is the script of the "Twilight Series" that our bankrupt sisters are about to film."
Bruce weighed it, and didn't intend to open the script. A smile appeared on his chubby but handsome face.
Meaningfully said, "Amanda told me that she values your company's series of scripts very much, rated S, and thinks she can agree to your cooperation. But I think her decision is too hasty."
"After all, you are just a third-rate film and television company. Xia won the Best Actress Award at this year's Venice Film Festival? So what? Our Mingdeli Film Industry has won the Best Actress Award in the three major film festivals, the Oscar Awards, and these awards. Are there few actors? In our eyes, this Venice actress has gold content, but it’s not that valuable.”
"You have to know that Mindley Films owns 30.00% of the world's theater chains, and there are many film and television companies and teams that want to cooperate with us. Don't you all come here for the theater chain?"
"Also, I don't think that if this script really has S-level potential... By the way, what's your name? Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company? I don't think you can shoot its true soul in Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company!"
Having said that, Bruce lit a cigarette and asked blithely, "How much do you think this script is worth? You can make a price."
"A single script, 100 million US dollars? A whole series of 1000 million US dollars, do you think my price is reasonable?"
"I also know Amanda's ability to work. She has no more than five scripts rated S."
"It is undeniable that the global box office of these five scripts has exceeded [-] million, which is worthy of this S-level evaluation!"
"However, this was achieved only with the support of 30.00% of the world's theater chains of Mindley Films!"
As the name suggests, he meant: these S-level scripts, without the support of Mindley Films, would not be able to play a role at all.
"I think it's just because of Amanda's S-level evaluation. I should also increase the price to 500 million. This is already the highest price I can offer. Actress' greatest sincerity!"
"You have to know that Victoria Films only spent 5000 million US dollars to acquire the script copyright of "Black Moon Project Series". Do you think your script can surpass it?"
It's not just Amanda. Although Bruce is full of disgust, Bruce's "evaluation" of Amanda is also full of contempt.
And speaking of this, Bruce's chubby face was full of bright, undisguised sarcasm, "Huaxia's little princess, I think you have to recognize clearly that this is Hollywood, not your Huaxia, and it's not that you can be heroic." place!"
"Maybe you think you have a lot of influence in China, but in Hollywood - you are too far behind!"
Xia Yu has always disliked people, especially when she just met and talked once before making comments.
It's easy to get slapped in the face.
But for Bruce, she still couldn't help but criticize in her heart - frivolous, arrogant, self-willed.
Xia Yu met many high-level executives of major film and television companies, even Yao Yuanqian and Fei Yang.
She was used to dealing with these "smart people".
It's not that she claims to be smart.Rather, these people will never show "arrogance", "severe words", and "contempt" on their faces.different culture?But among the Europeans and Americans that Xia Yu has come into contact with, there are very few such "stupid" ones!
For the word Jiangzhi, Xia Yu only has a vague impression of it in novels and in some fast-traveling ancient worlds.
But in this world, at least so far, most of the people she has met are normal and intelligent people.
Unexpectedly, I actually saw him this time, and he was still the head of Mindley Films, one of the eight major film companies.
Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?How did this guy sit at the head of Mindley Film and Television?
'Perhaps, this is the source of the gradual decline of Mindley Films?Does this kind of company have a future? 'Xia Yu was deeply suspicious.
The eight major film industries in the world are actually subdivided into three major and five minor ones.The Big Three refer to Mindley Films, Victoria Films, and Alexandria Films, which control some theaters around the world.And the fifth small, such as Damon Films in Europe.
The film industry is getting bigger and bigger, without the support of theaters, the box office can easily collapse, and eventually it will be eaten away by other capital.
Like Damon Pictures,
In fact, more than half of the shares have been acquired by other industries, and they exist in name only, which is why Xia Yu didn't consider it.
Damon Films will be banned by other industry leaders anytime and anywhere, and there will be a high-level change anytime and anywhere, so I can't afford to gamble.
Before Xia Yu came to Hollywood, she made a detailed plan where information could be found.
In the plan, the top choice is of course Mindley Films, which does not have so many talents in the industry, but has 30.00% of the world's first-line theater resources; the top choice is Gu Zhao, a top director with a certain status and connections in Hollywood.
The next choice is Xia Yu, Ashley, Zhuang Ling and the bankrupt sisters, and start working hard from scratch.
In this Hollywood without the support of connections, it is very likely that you will be hit first, and with your works, you will be well-known in the beautiful country and even the world, and then you will gain a foothold step by step. How many times will this bloodshed happen? do not know either.
However, Victoria Films failed, and now under Mindley Films, Alexandria Films may receive courtesy from Xia Yu, but the result is almost the same—"The script, we invest in the filming, you take the money, who Acting, we have the final say."
Hearing Bruce's question, Xia Yu let go of Zhuang Ling's hand, just before she was about to say, 'I have something to leave'.
Amanda endured the urge to beat and scold Bruce as a waste, resisted her anger and spoke, she said:
"The "Twilight Series" is just one of the scripts of the S-rank series in the hands of the bankrupt sisters. The bankrupt sisters have another big series of scripts, which are also S-rank. I think you can seriously consider collaborating!"
Amanda knew that the bankrupt sisters would definitely not sell the copyright of the script, at least the price was not enough for them to be tempted.
If Bruce continues to talk, not to mention the copyright of the script, even this cooperation may come to naught, and this is Mindley Pictures' last chance to struggle against the film and television industry!
If you miss these series, miss these few scripts, what awaits them is the result of being slowly annexed——
Hearing that there was another series that was also rated S by Amanda, Bruce was a little surprised, but his attitude did not change.Laughed, "Cooperation is impossible, but Amanda, your rating makes me wonder whether you have included the benefits - two S-level series scripts? Do you think it is possible? I need to contact the entire review Department, conduct a new review of this so-called S-level script!"
At this moment, Amanda finally got angry, "Bruce, are you questioning me?"
"Yes!"
Bruce had obviously been dissatisfied with Amanda for a long time, he looked at Amanda provocatively, "I can't question you?"
Amanda looked at Bruce, "You can question me, but you can't question Old Chet's decision. Since March last year, I have the decision-making power for all the review work of the entire Mindley Films, and the final rating. It's all on me!"
"Amanda, I hope you don't forget that you are just a small director of the audit department. You have the right to grade, and I have the right to veto. I will not agree to this so-called, nonsense business cooperation."
"Besides, I now have reason to suspect that this 'Bankrupt Sister Film and Television' is a commercial conspiracy by you and this Chinese actor to poach Mingdeli!"
"I can notify you immediately, hold a general meeting of shareholders, veto and fire you, the director of the audit department!"
When he said this, Bruce had a provocative and playful smile on his face,
"Old Chet, old, Mindley is our Hanks family property after all.
It has nothing to do with you, the illegitimate daughter born of a one-night stand with NGER, whose mother willingly degenerates! "
When it came to NGER, the gloomy look on Amanda's face could hardly be concealed.And Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling didn't expect that they were talking about a business cooperation, but at this moment, they were involved in the internal struggle of other families.
When Kevin Will on the side heard the news, his eyes widened, he lowered his head and shrank his neck, not daring to speak.
Seeing Amanda hesitate to speak, unable to refute the "worried" look, Bruce didn't even hide it.Hang your feet on the table.
"Old Chet's shares are currently undergoing inheritance, inheritance and other related procedures. The name on it is me—not my sister, that is, your useless mother, let alone you, this descendant mixed with dirty NGER blood !"
There was a sneer on his face.
At this time, no matter whether it is Xia Yu or Zhuang Ling, if they change places, they will definitely not be able to bear it.
The two are an atypical, black lion at heart, and an atypical, Aries at heart.
Don't care about the ending, anyway, now you have to get down on the ground, at least one leg will be broken.
Of course, he must be forced to do it first, and we are just resisting in self-defense, haha.
But Amanda just sneered, ignored it, and didn't look so angry that she left the table.
Still hold back.
He didn't even say anything, 'Don't talk about family matters in front of outsiders, just continue talking'.
Let Bruce go on.
Xia Yu vaguely smelled a hint of "conspiracy", and Zhuang Ling also looked at her—could it be that Amanda recorded?
The actions of both of them were very subtle.
Unexpectedly, Bruce proudly said, "Don't think about recording, I will always prepare a recording and video jammer for meetings. Why do you think I can break through the encirclement? In Old Chet, so many sons, daughters, grandchildren won?"
But what happened in the next second was even scarier and more dramatic than the recording they thought.
"Crack!" Bruce was still triumphant, and slapped the jammer from his pocket to the table.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room, the knock was not loud, Bruce asked impatiently, "Who?"
The next moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
An equally tall and strong "old man"?With a gloomy smile, he walked into the meeting room.
His head is full of white hair, and even his beard is completely white. It's really hard for you to say whether he is an old man or not.
This person looks, you can say that he can be over 60 or over 80, and he is quite imposing.
The old man looks a bit like Bruce, or rather, Bruce looks like the old man.But the old man is not bald, and he is in excellent shape.Even this 80-year-old man looks more handsome and attractive than Bruce!
"Chet Hanks - the real founder of Mindley Films!"
Seeing this old man, a series of information about the old man appeared in Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling's minds.
"Bruce... well done, you're really well done!" Old Chet took a hard look at Bruce.
Bruce was so knocked down that he almost fell off. Canghe took his leg off the conference table and said in a panic, "Father, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, how do you know you're playing tricks with me behind my back? If I don't come, Mindley will be removed from Hollywood!"
Bruce visibly panicked.
Amanda got up solemnly and said, "I'm glad you're here, Old Chet!"
"Good boy, you still don't want to call me grandfather?" Old Chet patted Amanda on the shoulder regretfully.After kicking Bruce aside, he looked at the "Twilight Series" script on the table, and then looked at Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling.
"Xia Yu, is that right?"
Although the Huaxia language used by Old Chet is not standard, it is obviously full of sincerity.
Reach out.
A serious gentleman with a smile on his face, "I think you guys should know me? Maybe I'm too thick-skinned?"
"But I think, there should be no one in Hollywood who doesn't know me, right? I'm the founder of Mindley Films. You can call me Old Chet, or Mr. Hanks? Of course, in my opinion, Old Chet Could it be more comfortable?"
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling also stood up early, and shook hands with Old Chet, "Mr. Hanks, hello!"
"Amanda told me that I must come to see you, and I must keep you. I still have something to talk to you. But, I think I have to delay a little time, I don't know, you two, Would you like to wait for me, an old chap, for a while?"
Old Chet didn't say why he had to wait. It was obvious that he was different from Bruce, who had eyes above his head. Keep it a secret for me, okay?"
"Of course, today, what happened? I just woke up, I just arrived at Mindley Pictures, and I don't know anything—"
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling's answer also made Old Chet smile all over his face, "Then I will trouble you, go to the lounge next door to have a rest first!"
"Assistant? Agent?" Old Chet pointed at Kevin.
