How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 600: Whose pony is this guy, and [World of Fast and Furious]?

However, the box office trend of the "Fast and Furious" series is 200 million, 230 million, 158 million, 364 million, 661 million, 779 million.

It can be seen that although there are some bumps in the performance of the entire series of "Fast and Furious", it is obviously an overall positive development trend.

And even if it is taken out alone.

Currently, there are two sequels in the "Fast and Furious" series that have box office results, surpassing the box office results of "Jurassic Park 2.3" and second only to "Jurassic Park 1" with a box office of to million US dollars. .

Looking at the environment in the conference room, as he said a few words, chaos began again. Toby Kramer once again clenched his fists and covered his mouth, coughed twice, suppressed the situation, and continued: "The previous discussion about [speed and Everyone has put forward some proposals for the follow-up plan of the "Passion" series, but I called everyone to this meeting today because I found a very good proposal and wanted to discuss it with everyone."

Upon hearing what President Toby Kramer said, the executives below suddenly became quiet, and some powerful executives were still a little uneasy.

Without it.

These people are a bit mistaken.

Because Toby Kramer is already a bit old, and Disney and Warner Pictures, both Hollywood giants, have completed the transition of new and old presidents, many powerful executives at Universal Pictures have naturally begun to Ready to move.

So after this happened in the [Fast and Furious] series, many executives who were interested in competing for the position of president submitted their own proposals on this matter.

In this situation, it is difficult not to think that Toby Kramer is announcing his favorite successor.

But in fact……

Abdication, laid off?

What position will you retire from and what position will you lay off?

I, Toby Kramer, will be in this position, dedicating himself to Universal Pictures until the last minute of his life.

"This is a copy of this proposal. You can take a look at it first." Toby Kramer waved his hand and asked the secretary to distribute the document.

Some powerless executives treat the content of this document with an indifferent attitude. After all, no matter how hard they take over, it will not be their turn.

However, some powerful executives treat the contents of this document as if they are opening up their future destiny and cashing in the prize to the last digit.

result……

Lin Yishan?

My heart sank.

Which competitor's name is this? The format is so weird!

Oh!

Come to think of it, he is the director of the current [Fast and Furious] series, and he is from Zhang Nan.

That doesn't matter. It's just a false alarm. This guy is not from Universal Pictures and can't take over at all.

After heaving a sigh of relief, many people began to read the contents of this proposal carefully. As a result, they became more and more excited and excited as they read.

Many people were still blaming the death of lead actor Paul at the wrong time. If he died before the movie was released, then they could learn from Warner Pictures' treatment of the Joker in "Batman 1" and make a lot of money.

But now, most people have only one thought: Paul, you died well!

Looking at the atmosphere in the conference room, it started to get heated. Toby Kramer stopped waiting and opened his mouth: "I believe everyone has read the contents of this proposal. Director Lin said that he was certain and invited Zhang Nan to fill in the question." Missing starring role.

Once successful, Universal Pictures will have another series starring Zhang Nan in addition to the "Jurassic World" series, becoming the first in the world to have two series starring Zhang Nan. This will be very important to us at Universal Pictures. The future development of the film industry is very important.

Therefore, we must not give up this opportunity and must seize it firmly.

If you have any suggestions and ideas, you can share them at this time. "

It can be said that Toby Kramer's speech is quite accurate, but just like there are all kinds of birds in the forest, if there are too many executives, idiots will appear.

Just when most of the normal Universal executives were nodding in agreement with Toby Kramer's speech, one executive raised his hand and said: "But we weren't discussing it some time ago. If Disney Pictures' breakaway After Zhang Nan's "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" project became a hit at the box office, we also have to think about how to get the "Jurassic World" series out of Zhang Nan's influence? Why do we still need to take advantage of the "Fast and Furious" series now? This A very influential series in the company was sent to Zhang Nan?"

As soon as this executive said these words, other Global executives in the entire conference room looked dumbfounded.

There is no doubt that everyone has only one thought: How did this idiot get into our midst?

We want to separate the [Jurassic World] series from Zhang Nan’s influence. That is to rely on Zhang Nan to get the [Jurassic] IP into the ranks of the world’s top series, and then see if we can burn bridges and go it alone. .

Why hasn’t the [Fast and Furious] series become the world’s top series thanks to Zhang Nan? Have you never crossed this river? You just want to burn the bridge across the river. What else could it be but stupidity?

Of course.

The reason why this executive said this can also be explained by his thinking that he believes that the "Fast and Furious" series can break through the billion-dollar global box office threshold on its own and become the world's top series. But...you think the world's top series is just cabbage!

Can anyone produce it wholesale?

The only known wholesaler at present is Zhang Nan.

And it’s not like Universal Pictures didn’t give the [Fast and Furious] series opportunities and support. This [Fast and Furious] series has reached its sixth installment, and Zhang Nan has been invited to guest star several times during this period.

But if the [Fast and Furious] series projects themselves fail to live up to expectations, who can be blamed?

Toby Kramer's eyes twitched after listening to the executive's speech.

He asked people to express their ideas and suggestions actively, but he did not speak or propose in this direction.

Whose horse boy is this guy?

Toby Kramer glanced at the meeting scene with cold eyes.

The boss of this executive, a very competitive executive among the successors, lowered his head in shame. At the same time, he also knew that he would probably say goodbye to the position of president of Universal Pictures in this life.

But he couldn't say or do anything about the initiator yet.

Because this executive who spoke in a different way... was his brother-in-law, who was single-handedly involved in Universal Pictures under the pressure of his wife.

If he dared to touch a hair of his brother-in-law, his wife would make sure that not a hair of his was left, not even a hair from top to bottom, when he returned home.

After such an interruption, the originally lively atmosphere in the conference room became a little deserted.

At this time, an executive who was able to liven up the atmosphere opened his mouth and suggested: "Since the project has undergone major changes and a new leading actor has joined, does the name of the [Fast and Furious] project also need to be changed?"

Although this proposal is somewhat irrelevant and unreliable, it is still better than the previous one's speech, and no matter how much it is repeated, there will be no accidents.

So someone asked: "What do you think it should be changed to?"

“How about [World of Fast and Furious]?”

There was silence in the conference room.

From [Jurassic Park] to [Jurassic World], and now [Fast and Furious] has also been renamed [Fast and Furious World].

Your kid knows how to find patterns, and he also has a sense of humor and artistic talent.

But our Universal Pictures can be called World Pictures even if we change the translation method.

But your practice of always adding the suffix "world" to the end of the movie name still makes people feel a bit presumptuous, as we at Universal Pictures don't have the same name.

but……

This change does seem to be a bit pleasing to the ear.

For a time, many people turned their attention to the direction of President Toby Kramer, wanting to see Toby Kramer's reaction.

And Toby Kramer’s reaction…

no response.

Although he also thinks the name is good.

but……

"The project has not been fully negotiated yet, so the name is not urgent."
