Chapter 105 Transformation?

……

In early May, the international section of the Washington Post ran a big headline—Israel’s [-]th anniversary of the founding of the state, and military drills.

At the same time, the movie "Life is Beautiful" starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift was also shown in the Commonwealth, as well as in Europe, Asia and other places, basically achieving global distribution.

Payton alone naturally does not have such a great ability, and even Padmon's distribution ability is far behind.

But Jewish foundations are spread all over the world. For them, there is no reason not to promote and introduce such a "politically correct" and "gift of the founding decade" movie?
In this way, under the arrangement of Jewish organizations scattered all over the world, the film really blossomed everywhere.

As for the Commonwealth, under the tireless exaggeration of Peyton and the Jewish Fund, basically people in the entire Commonwealth know that on May 5th, there will be a love war movie starring Elizabeth and Montgomery.

On the first day of its release, it earned 460 million at the box office!The next day was even more crazy, reaching 500 million!

Since then, tickets for "Life is Beautiful" have been hard to come by, and small-scale scalpers began to breed around the center of the movie theater.

Movie theaters responded quickly and began to increase the number of screenings.

……

In just two days, the box office reached 960 million, and 1000 million was reported to the outside world, which immediately caused the astonishment of countless film investors, who cried wolf!
"Washington Post": "Breaking [-] million in two days, the movie box office has entered a new era, revealing the story behind "Life is Beautiful"."

"Chicago Political Times": "The value orientation guided by "Life is Beautiful", in the face of war, what should we do?"

"George Town Hot News": "Love, war? Hides the family story behind the movie, exposing the cruelty of war."

"Global Economic News": "A film industry with an astonishing rate of return for a small fortune."

Countless newspapers and TV stations are also complaining about the exaggeration of this figure, evaluating the quality of this movie!
According to the estimates of some professionals, the box office of this movie in the federal mainland is likely to exceed 6000 million in the end.

A movie with a cost of only several million has reached a box office of 1000 million in just two days, and the final box office is estimated to reach 6000 million!

How big of an ROI is this?
That’s all, without counting overseas markets.

Counting it all, it is entirely possible to achieve a box office of over [-] million yuan!
In an instant, countless wealthy people in the Federation who made their fortunes because of stocks, as if they saw the code of wealth, flocked into this industry like crazy.

A lot of quick money directly caused the stock prices of some large production companies to rise by 5%.

The remuneration of related actors has also increased accordingly.

Especially the actors who, like Elizabeth and Monty, also have the image of golden boys and girls, were quickly found and invested by investors, imitating the template of a beautiful life, and started filming.

Payton, who invested in this movie, has also been heavily reported by many media, and it is estimated how much this movie will increase Payton's net worth.

……

With the release of the movie, this movie that combines love, family affection and war caused a huge sensation.

Israel's Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion said in public that this is the best gift for Israel's [-]th anniversary celebration.

Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift, the famous golden couple on the screen, also completely opened up the international market because of this movie.

According to Elizabeth's agent, during this time, not only the Commonwealth, but also filmmakers from Britain, France and Europe have paid attention to her, intending to invite her to appear in their new film.

The most surprising thing was that some world-class film masters from the Soviet Union sent invitation letters, which were rare.

Some people often think that the Soviet Union has no spiritual enjoyment, but this is actually wrong!
Putting the rest aside, the Soviet Union is definitely an important player that is often overlooked when it comes to cinema.

Representatives of the masters of the montage school in the history of world cinema are all Soviets.

During this period, the Soviet film masters had a very high international reputation, and there were many international awards for their disciples and grandchildren.

Faced with these invitations, Elizabeth rationally chose to decline.

After all, with Hepburn as a lesson from the past, she knows very well that the so-called classic literary films may not necessarily help her career.

A few years ago, Hepburn starred in the classic masterpiece "War and Peace", which did not even cause a wave in the Federation. The only gain, perhaps, was that it won many nominations in various awards, but it was a pity. It also lost everything, and the publisher Pai Damon also suffered a small loss.

As a result, Hepburn couldn't care less about other things, and quickly received several music and musical films and love musical films to consolidate her status as a goddess.

So far, with "Life is Beautiful", Elizabeth has become the center of the federal spotlight just like Hepburn starred in "Roman Holiday".

……

"What do you think?" Peyton looked at Elizabeth, wanting to hear her plan.

"I'm thinking about transformation."

"Transformation?" Payton was puzzled.

Elizabeth: "I've made too many romance films, and I want to make some changes."

"You know, it's impossible for me to act in a lifetime romance movie. As you said, for my career, I must make appropriate arrangements and transitions."

"I plan to gradually come into contact with other types of films within three to five years to complete the transformation."

Peyton nodded in understanding.

"So have you considered the direction of the transformation?"

Elizabeth gave him a white look: "Aren't I just going to ask for your opinion?"

Peyton also fell into deep thought when he heard the words. These days, the position of an actress is quite awkward. Apart from romance movies, there is really nothing to show for it.

Whether it is comedy, action, gangsters, or politics, they are all male-dominated and female-dominated.

Seeing Peyton's appearance, Elizabeth also sighed faintly, walked towards him slowly, pressed a pair of jade hands on Peyton's temples, and whispered softly: "Think about it slowly, I am still young, and the transformation is not easy It can be changed, and I will also star in some romance films, which happens to be with Monty, and I can ask for a big price."

The golden boy and girl image of her and Monty are very classic, and they are currently highly sought after by investors.

The most obvious manifestation is the change in the remuneration of the two.

Elizabeth's salary has increased more than ten times. Before starring in "Life is Beautiful", her salary ranged from [-] to [-].

Now, there are already crazy investors in the outside market, shouting "a salary of 50 dollars"

And Montgomery Clift's salary has changed even more from the disfigured slump. The outside world's quotation for him has reached 80 US dollars, making him one of the top Hollywood salary.

Of course, if the combination of the golden boy and the jade girl can be packaged, it will be a sky-high price of 200 million, and the new investors in the market will not blink.

There are not many opportunities to make money like this.

Peyton held her hand: "I probably have an idea, give me a little time, let me think it through."

Elizabeth was a little surprised, and plunged into Peyton's chest, making him breathless.

"Don't worry! You're getting fat!"

"Where is it?" Elizabeth suddenly frowned and complained softly.

"Haha, I'm joking."

Peyton likes to get along with Elizabeth very much, this is a very smart woman.

Never told Payton what to do, and never thought about marrying Payton.

As for the relationship between the two, there is a term to describe it - "mistress" should be the most appropriate.
