New York 1988

Chapter 183 Sniping (for Subscription)

For a while, the news was full of attacks on "The Last Samurai".

Then, on the Internet, such as Yahoo, etc., also began to popularize the so-called samurai and samurai DAO, saying how they do evil, how selfish, how ignorant and so on.

In short, all of a sudden, almost everyone knew what the so-called "The Last Samurai" was.

This is what the producer Fang Warner and others did not expect.

Um, just like the original time and space, the neon people are very smart and only pay for it, but the main producers are Warner and Paramount, and Sony only participated in a small amount.

Who knew, they had already given money and were touting all kinds of things, and suddenly there was a larger-scale attack. The problem is, these are all on point, and it's hard to even refute them.

So, all of a sudden, the neon people panicked.

After all, such a large-scale attack, at first glance, was not done by ordinary people.

If Miguo's father is upset, it will be troublesome.

So, I hurried to inquire everywhere, and I was going to find out the situation before I talked.

As for Han Sheng, after the arrangements are made, Tess and the others will handle the details, and he will be mainly responsible for the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

It was after three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some time before the evening premiere. Kelly Brook, who played Elizabeth Swan, was being bullied by Han Shengfu.

Aww, I can't be overjoyed, my whole body is about to float away.

Just, accidentally, she pouted cutely, "Honey, do you think I'm a little too fat!"

Because she didn't shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean", she doesn't need to wear that kind of corset clothes anymore, her diet is not so controlled, and as she gets older, she will naturally become plump a little bit, so now she really It's swollen.

Even fat lamps and fat buttocks are more YOU people.

The villain in front of him is very fond of it.

However, the waist is also a little thicker.

"It's just right now," Han Sheng went up and down, and after checking it himself, he gave the most definite answer.

"That's definitely still fat," Kelly Brook said of men being liars.

Han Sheng smiled and said: "I'm serious, it's really good now!" She really can't be called fat, she is born with a lot of flesh, and she appeared in the right position.

As for the waist, it was too tight when she was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean". Now the water snake's waist is fine, there is no fat at all, and it is very soft and smooth.

"Really," she said. Kelly Brook cared about his opinion the most. After he nodded, she happily hugged him and kissed him several times.

"I'm worried, what if you don't like it?"

"how come?"

"Tch, there are so many goblins out there. By the way, Katie, that little goblin, is growing so fast now... Ah, take it easy, scoundrel, it's going to go bad!"

……

At six o'clock, Han Sheng brought a contented Kelly Brook to the gate of the China Grand Theater to attend today's premiere.

"About the matter in the Middle East, some people say that you instigated it, and you are also a member of the military-industrial complex!" The Washington Post jumped out again.

"It would be great if I could control this kind of policy," Han Sheng knew that there are many people outside talking about him behind his back, who made his family hold a huge number of military enterprises now.

However, this matter is really not his fault, he is passive.

It was the other guys who joined forces to make trouble, he just followed the trend, he didn't take the blame, "Since you asked me like that, it proves that you are very courageous, I hope you will check to find out who is behind the trouble, In supporting the war, I hope you don't let me down...!"

That guy shrank inwardly. He was someone who recruited disgusting people, or let Han Sheng take the blame.

It's just that it's not easy for Han Sheng to frame him. CBS and ABC are in his hands. He has already stated that if he gets in a hurry, he is not afraid of exposure. By then, those guys will be finished.

"Some people say that you deliberately suppressed "The Last Samurai". Is this true? Why do you want to slander the great samurai?" This is a reporter from Neon.

Han Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Samurai, great, are they worthy? They are a bunch of trash, beasts, yes, that's what I said, let your master come to me, as for suppression or something, "The Last Samurai" Not worthy either!"

"You, you damn...!" The neon reporter was extremely angry.

"Are you threatening me?" Han Sheng motioned to Mark, "This guy is threatening me and even uttered slogans to kill me. I think the Los Angeles court needs to give me an answer...!"

Then, in full view, Mark grabs the guy and walks away.

The Los Angeles court, heh, the reporters present felt happy, not to mention the Los Angeles court, almost most of the courts in the United States would probably give Han Sheng a satisfactory answer, that Neon man is finished.

Even if the court just let him go to the detention center, the detention center can let him commit suicide.

Nihong people really don't know how to live or die, and you guys dare to say such things in front of Han Sheng, a super boss.

It deserves it.

The big guy didn't pay attention to the neon, as if nothing happened, and continued to ask Han Sheng other questions.

At a quarter past six, Han Sheng returned to the theater, eating and waiting for the guests to arrive.

Not long after eating, Charles Theron and Nicole Kidman came.

Seeing how he was devouring, the former clawed Kelly Brook's fat lamp fiercely, and laughed, "Did he consume too much on you this afternoon, so hungry!"

Kelly Brook knew her very well, played with her many times, and giggled, "He eats too much, he can't eat enough!"

"You little hoof," Nicole Kidman recognized her pun, and pinched her tender face, "Men probably like a little elf like you, so 'fat'!"

"This villain also said that my sister's skills are amazing!" Kelly Brook joked.

Nicole Kidman pinched Han Sheng hard.

He also said: "What are you doing, what's wrong with being good at technology!"

"Bah, you still say it!" Nicole Kidman blushed, after all, she wasn't at home, even though Kelly Brook was her own, but she was still afraid of being heard, thinking that she was really wild when she was wandering, It really makes me blush just thinking about it.

"By the way, you must come to the premiere of "Cold Mountain", I have come to you!" Nicole Kidman said.

"Dare you come to me because of the exchange," Han Sheng laughed.

"What's the exchange, she's called rubbish," Charles Theron joked without hesitation, "When I was outside just now, good guy, people asked him about "Pirates of the Caribbean" and you, but all she said was About Cold Mountain!"

"Hit her," Kelly Brook coaxed, giggling.

Han Sheng really grabbed Nicole Kidman and beat her hard.

Nicole Kidman has already won the best actress with "The Hours", so she is not so enthusiastic. Moreover, "Cold Mountain" is not the project of that fat guy Harvey. After a bit of adjustment, it was already miserable, and Miramax couldn't make it through.

Besides, Miramax is still owned by Disney.

In this time and space, Nicole Kidman is entirely because "Cold Mountain" is about things in Australia, and she was born there, so she wanted to pull it out, which can be regarded as a reward for her development.

Han Sheng didn't care, and let her do this project if she wanted to.

Although he knew that in the original time and space, this was not a particularly successful project.

However, people can't always have smooth sailing. Besides, even if "Cold Mountain" doesn't make a lot of money, it definitely can't be said to lose money.

"Are you going to be the leading actor in "Mad Max?" Charles Theron also grabbed Han Sheng.

"I don't have time, by the way, aren't you preparing for Tomb Raider 2 and Mr. and Mrs. Smith!" Han Sheng tilted his head, "You have so much time!"

"She likes to be abused!" Nicole Kidman teased: "It's like when she was playing, she was so wild, she would eat even if she was full!"

"Bah," Charles Theron spat at her, "I'm not as greedy as you, you even want to eat his kidney!"

Oak, let them argue about this topic.

Seeing Li Guohao approaching, Han Sheng smiled and waved.

He starred in the first literary film in his life, "Love and Compromise", which he starred with Jack Nicholson. Well, in the original time and space, this is also Keanu Reeves' film, but now almost all of them are taken over by Li Guohao up.

Then, the film was released on the 12th, which is the second week of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Then, Li Guohao will play the role of Batman in "Batman" next.

"How's the preparation going? I heard that Nolan is very demanding!" "Batman" is not a project of Beyond Entertainment, it is Warner's.

This also shows Li Guohao's current popularity. After "Speed", "Into the Deadly Island" and "The Matrix" series, he is already the top actor in Hollywood, and his salary is 2000 million plus at least 5%. The existence of the box office share.

"I'm more interested in the role of the clown!" Li Guohao smiled, "I read the script, if the acting is good, it can overwhelm the protagonist!"

This judgment is really correct. In the original time and space, in "The Dark Knight Rises of Batman", Heath Ledger's Joker is indeed well played. Although he is more respected and famous because of his death, in fact , in terms of plot, Batman is indeed weak in this episode.

"This is a series, not to mention, clown's salary of 1000 million is not bad!" Han Sheng patted his shoulder, "If you like clowns so much, I will make a movie for you in the future!"

"Then how embarrassing it is?" Han Sheng gave him too much help.

It can be said that everything he can have today is all given by Han Sheng.

Even though Han Sheng's family had a good relationship with Bruce Lee, to be honest, if Han Sheng hadn't become well-off, many people would have stopped saying that they were Bruce Lee's apprentices, or they were just cheating for money.

"As long as you work hard and persevere, these are what you deserve," Han Sheng said, "You have done a great job, Mr. Bruce Lee should be very happy to see this, and then I plan to write a biography of his old man , is busy, when the time comes, you will act in person...!"

"Okay!" Li Guohao put all his gratitude in his heart, this, he will not be hypocritical, nodded vigorously, "When did you finish the book, just let someone call me at any time, I don't want a salary, Don't say that the father is the father, if you say that, you will look down on me...!"

"Okay!" Han Sheng nodded his head without saying much.

He really started to conceive a Bruce Lee biographical movie a long time ago.

That is not only to commemorate Mr. Bruce Lee, but also to expand the influence of Chinese Kung Fu on a larger scale.

So, he was thinking about how to do it best.

What to say, a biographical film needs to be real and fictional. This balance is not easy. Then, it needs dramatic tension. It's not that his old man is not great, but that he needs to find a better fit.

For example, when he learns art, he is never bound by sects, and when teaching art, he doesn't care about the skin color of the sect, what he cares about is your martial heart, that is the demeanor of a true master.

Of course, this is only a part, even just a part of Wude.

For example, his charisma, his breakthrough in movies, the changes he brought to Hollywood, he is still an artist in his life, he is not a simple vulgar man, martial artist, he likes to read and write, and he is also very educated, etc. wait.

In short, it is a challenge to integrate it, and how to condense the best-looking and most artistic films from a very young age until his death in just 33 years.

Han Sheng asked someone to write it, and he was also thinking about how to write it himself.

Then, I probably had an idea. For example, Bruce Lee was naughty when he was a child, and then he began to change after he was 16 years old. Finally, when he was 24 years old, he made great achievements in martial arts, created Jeet Kune Do, achieved greatness, and so on.

It is roughly divided into three parts, and the details need to be considered again.

……

After the premiere, on the second day, on the 5th, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was simultaneously released globally. In North America, it opened in 3 theaters and won a box office of 4108 million that day.

However, the drop on the second day was a bit much, only 7506 million, and on the third day, only 6295 million remained.

In three days, it exceeded [-] million.

This one is about the same as the second one, especially in this kind of panic year, when the box office is not so explosive.

Of course, the media still didn't feel too good about it.

How to put it, they think it must be much better than the second part, after all, you Han Sheng is the king of Hollywood, such an awesome existence.

Han Sheng ignored them, and in the following second week, it plummeted by 40%, to only 14522 million.

However, the base is large after all, so it is nothing.

Especially look at "The Last Samurai", which was released this week. It was screened in 2908 theaters and only got a box office of 405 million in the end. This is only 2000 million less than the original time and space.

Undoubtedly, this is not simply being squeezed by "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the box office.

This is because of the publicity of various media, especially after the neon people quarreled with Han Sheng, and after Han Sheng directly confronted him, many people's disgust towards "The Last Samurai" has reached its peak.

So this happens.

It can also be seen how influential Han Sheng is.

On the other hand, Li Guohao's "Love is a Compromise", which was also released on the 12th, opened in 2000 theaters and got a box office of 1802 million, which is 200 million more than the original time and space, which is not bad.

Then, in the third week, "Pirates of the Caribbean" continued to plummet by nearly 50%, and received 8819 million. It will be next year, that is, 3.

Therefore, there is no opponent at all this week.

As for "The Last Samurai", it is only 211 million. According to Tess, the theater is ready to let them go.

Until the fourth week, uh, it’s not that there is an opponent, but that there is finally a new film challenge, a typical so-called Lunar New Year comedy produced by [-]th Century Fox, uh, no, it should be called a family carnival movie, Christmas special "A Basket of Children" " was released.

3300 theaters received a box office of 2755 million. Then, Nicole Kidman's "Cold Mountain", with Han Sheng's face, was 2100 more than the 1000 theaters in the original time and space, with 3150 The home theater opened.

However, it only got a box office of 2619 million.

Of course, the box office champion is "Pirates of the Caribbean", which fell by less than 30% this week and got 6528 million box office.

Then, "The Last Samurai" is already gone.

And this week, "Pirates of the Caribbean" reached 6 million box office in North America, and then overseas exceeded [-] million, and [-] billion has already been achieved.

For Han Sheng, 10 billion is a benchmark, and how much will depend on the specific movie.

Anyway, for him, getting this benchmark is considered qualified.

He didn't have time to worry about it, but devoted himself to the filming of "Iron Man".

It was not until the beginning of April that "Iron Man" was officially completed and entered post-production, especially the production of special effects.

For this, Han Sheng did not hand it over to Industrial Light & Magic, but let the digital technology company accumulated by Beyond Entertainment complete it. This was also done by Peter Jackson before.

However, no cooperation, but Han Sheng still has ideas for Industrial Light & Magic.

So, taking advantage of George Lucas's birthday in May, he chatted with each other by the way.

"You mean Industrial Light and Magic?" George Lucas was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Do you guys want to buy the whole of Hollywood?"

Han Sheng just bought Pixar Animation and Marvel.

Of course, Han Sheng didn't take the liberty to bring it up. He knew that George Lucas was willing to produce Industrial Light & Magic. Not only him, but Spielberg also knew it, so he brought it up.

In the original time and space, George Lucas did sell Industrial Light & Magic.

"I'm not interested in buying the whole of Hollywood, but if it's Industrial Light & Magic, if you really want it, I'll definitely get it, even if it's an extra three to five billion!"

"You boy, then I say I want 100 billion, will you give it to me?" George Lucas joked.

"Here," Han Sheng also smiled, "as long as Elizabeth and Victoria agree!"

Spielberg was overjoyed, "I heard that all your family's money belongs to Elizabeth and Victoria, and even the entertainment company belongs to Tess, what do you have, you are simply the most hard-working tool person! "

"So, if it's Uncle George, why don't you just give me Industrial Light & Magic, or look how pitiful I am!" Han Sheng also laughed.

George Lucas almost gave him the middle finger.

It is said that he doesn't care about money, but the core of the Han family is this kid. Elizabeth and Victoria are also his women, and he listens to many things.

"Well, I'll think about it," George Lucas stopped joking, and said seriously, "Well, I'm getting old, and I can't handle many things, so I'm thinking about quitting a little bit... ...!"

"Although I want to buy Industrial Light & Magic, you are still in good health. As a doctor, I have a great say in this!" Han Sheng said.

"It's also thanks to your child who has helped me take care of my body these years. I do feel pretty good, but I still feel tired." George Lucas is very close to Han Sheng, so he doesn't talk about those hypocritical things, "Industrial I am not alone in Guangmo, anyway, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"
