America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 279 278. Add some ice to this summer
Beverly Hills, Cooper's House.

Hahahaha
"cheers!"

咣 咣 咣!
The wine glasses clinked together, and except for Joshua, the Cooper family gathered for a family gathering to celebrate getting through the difficult times.

But if Joshua was really here, he would probably have a heart attack from envy.

He just had sex with two ordinary girls, and his legs were broken.

Eric has already married five famous female stars. This is the gap. He will definitely regret not entering the entertainment industry.

Dad said with a red face: "Harvey Weinstein actually has the nerve to plead for mercy, what is going on in his head!"

"Haha... That's because he is scared and is driving him crazy. I heard that Weinstein Company is considering firing him from the company he founded. It's funny to think about it," Nicole said with a smile.

"This is normal. The Weinstein brothers have had conflicts for a long time. Bob is in charge and Harvey is in charge. In fact, both of them have played a decisive role in the development of the company."

"But obviously, most of the halo and benefits were taken away by Harvey Weinstein, and Bob has always had some resentment in his heart."

This movie is indeed excellent, but it was able to achieve a box office far beyond expectations. Another reason is that the Big Six and MGM were in conflict, which caused blockbusters to change schedules one after another, allowing DreamWorks to take advantage of the loophole.

Many people predict that "Shark Tank" will be among the top three animated films this year. The reason why it is in the top three is because there is also a super masterpiece "Shrek 2" from DreamWorks and Disney's big production "The Incredibles".

Eric encouraged them to eat as much as they could and now was the perfect time.

"Furthermore, DreamWorks was severely suppressed before handing over the overseas distribution rights to MGM. Michael Einers did not miss the past at that time."

In order to maintain the mystery, the trailer must not include those high-octane scenes, nor can it include the classic song "Let It Go".

"Yes, it will definitely be a big hit, and the whole world will be fascinated by Princess Elsa."

"What you said is too exaggerated. Will it be stronger than "Shark Gang"?"

As for "Frozen", since the trailer was released, the response has not been very good.

"Honey, you're telling me Frozen is going to be a box office hit?"

The story of "The Snow Queen" is so cliche that everyone has listened to it for decades and knows the plot summary even if they close their eyes. There is no sense of mystery at all.

Audiences and many film critics saw that it was adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, and some people's interest was immediately extinguished.

The box office of 4.3 million is indeed quite terrifying, surpassing last year's "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 3", and being the same as "Terminator 3", ranking seventh in the year.

In contrast, the sense of anticipation in "Frozen" is not as strong as it was created.

"At that time, I had to be inferior to others and go out to work alone. Who would be willing to look good to the former boss."

"Okay, this is a special case, but workers don't like capitalists, and the same goes for Katzenberg. When he was at Disney, funds, manpower, and projects were all stuck."

Gadot curiously asked: "Wasn't Katzenberg a great contributor to Disney before? I remember he was the director of "The Lion King". The two of them should be old acquaintances."

"I saw it last night, and I understood when you said it. It seems that he was talking about someone who wanted to use his power to intercede for Harvey. It turned out to be Michael Ainas." Theron suddenly realized.

Eric took a bite of ostrich meat and it was still delicious.

"Gadot, do you like your boss?"

I just don’t know if my old mother-in-law would stage a drama about Da Lang drinking medicine if she knew that Nicole was not Eric’s only woman.

But there are also many positive reviews. For example, in the trailer released, the audience unanimously believed that "Frozen" completely surpassed all animated movies released last year in terms of the exquisiteness of the picture.

"The timing is just right now. If Michael Einas still has the energy to care about Harvey Weinstein, he might give him a kick."

"Now that the boat is about to capsize, of course he won't be buried with Harvey. Those directors also want to step on him."

"In fact, although the price is relatively high now, you can still continue to buy it. In a few days, I expect MGM's stock price to make a big leap."

The richest Olsen sisters have taken 0.7% of the shares.

Looking at its opponents, "Shrek" follows a subversive counter-routine. The first film gave people a refreshing feeling, and everyone liked it.

"But it seems that Katzenberg doesn't want to give this face. Not only does he not want to, but he publicly slaps him in the face, just to mention Einas' name."

"That Orc, he's just a piece of stinky shit now. It makes everyone sick when he sees it. He's worried about stepping on it when he walks."

"The Incredibles" sounds like it will have great visual effects and combat animations that will attract the interest of many teenagers and adults.

Dad shook his head slightly: "He can't help Harvey. Weinstein is dead this time. I've been informed of the news over there. It's estimated that there will be problems at Disney's amusement parks in just a few days."

Gadot looked at Eric: "You know this better than me."

The five girls nodded in unison. When the market plummeted some time ago, it really triggered a frenzy. Many people thought MGM was going to be finished, and they were all rushing to sell.

Two months ago, "Shark Tank" took in a box office of nearly $4.3 million, making it the highest-grossing animated film this year.

Regarding this, the Olson sisters, who have been running the company, have great experience.

"Michael Ainas also mobilized his contacts, hoping to unite the forces of the six major organizations to put pressure on the victims in an attempt to pay compensation and settle the matter."

And its cost was only about US$7000 million, which really made a lot of money for DreamWorks.

The five girls have always been obedient in business. Except for Gadot, who has no savings, Eric secretly gave her a fortune.

"Katzenberg must have been itching his teeth with hatred."

"But not many people seem to buy it. Have you seen the news posted by Jeffrey Katzenberg?"

Even if it is "Shark Tank" that is also polished by DreamWorks, there is a huge gap in the graphics.

"By the way, I noticed that MGM's stock price has pulled back again. This is a good thing. Have you all bought it?"

After all, the cost is there. A US$7000 million may be mixed with water, but a real investment of US$1.8 million.

In order to produce the snowflake special effects in "Frozen", the technical teams of DreamWorks and MGM specially developed more than a dozen software and new technologies, which revolutionized the industry.

This is why movie companies are considered technology companies.

"Let's wait and see, I want to cool down this hot summer!"

Time comes to June 6, the premiere of "Frozen".

It is still MGM's strategic partner Arclight Cinema, and a long red carpet is laid out, extending to the edge of the asphalt road.

Eric arrived at the scene in a car with Judy this time. Maybe his fake father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching, and he still had to do what he should do.

Regarding the current relationship between the two, he also made it clear to the fifth daughter.

After knowing that Judy was a lesbian and that the two were just having fun, although Gadot felt a little aggrieved, she still agreed for the sake of Eric's career. We didn’t invite too many celebrities this time, just close friends came to support us. After all, the storm has not completely passed yet.

Under the flashlight, everyone took a group photo in front of the camera.

Ashley voiced Princess Elsa. She suddenly frowned. It turned out to be Judy standing next to her. Thinking of the other person's sexual orientation, she suddenly felt a strange feeling.

"Eric, did you see that picture?" Ryan Reynolds asked meanly.

"What photo? Which celebrity's privacy did you get?"

"What are you talking about? I'm a gentleman. What I'm talking about is the photo of Harvey Weinstein being brought into the police station. He looks like he's more than ten years older and his hair is all white."

"Then guess who did it?"

"It must be you, there's no need to guess!"

"Haha. This old guy framed me. I submitted all the evidence. Michael Einas delayed for a few days, but I couldn't save him."

"I read the news. There was a safety hazard at Disneyland in California, and it was ordered to close for a month for rectification. Was it you who did it?"

"What do you think? Even if he's really good, he originally planned to fix it for at least three months."

Ryan Reynolds' mouth twitched. He couldn't do this kind of intrigue. He would be content to be a star in this life.

The arrival of Celine Dion made the paparazzi even more excited.

"Look here, look here Celine, are you the only one? Will Michael, Jenny, and Jayz come too?"

Celine Dion smiled and waved: "I don't know the three of them very well, but I came with a mission, and I sang the theme song."

"Don't leave for a while. Remember to buy a ticket and come in so you can hear this new song."

Celine Dion is worthy of being the queen of sketches. She has a humorous and easy-going personality, and can make the paparazzi laugh with just a few words.

"Who is the overall winner of "The Voice"?"

Celine Dion glanced at the other party and saw the sign that read The Independent.

"I won't accept any non-film interviews today. This is the premiere. Also, I don't know who the winner of "The Voice" is. We'll all wait for the live broadcast of the finals."

"Does your new song sound good? If it doesn't sound good, can I get a refund?" a paparazzi asked.

"Of course it sounds good. It's very good. It's a rare masterpiece. I can tell you right now, you must come in and watch the premiere. You will feel as moved as Titanic."

This bold statement made the paparazzi's eyes light up, and he immediately made up a title in his mind: Celine Dion said that the theme song of "Frozen" is better than "My Heart Will Go On".

Even if people say they are not inferior to others, when the paparazzi hears it, it will become superior to them.

"Celine, is it really as great as you say? More classic than "My Heart Will Go On"?"

"Haha. I know your tricks. You want to trick me, but I won't be fooled."

At this time, Eric came over and hugged Celine Dion.

"Thanks for coming, Sidi."

"This is my job, and I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for letting me sing "Let It Go."

Celine Dion's gratitude was genuine when Eric approached her with the song.

Just by humming along with the song, she realized what an excellent piece it was.

When the piano was added for the second time, she knew she had to win the right to sing this song.

When I finally watched the demo, when I saw my singing progressing along with the animation, I was so moved that I felt like I was back in 1997, on that big ship.

Is this song difficult to sing?

In fact, it's not too big. The main thing is that the sound range needs to be wide, and the treble can be reached.

There are a lot of singers like this in the European and American music circles. As long as their body functions are suitable and they have received systematic training, they can do it.

In other words, there is no pressure at all from teenagers to 50 or 60 years old.

And Eric is willing to let him sing such an excellent work. This is just like "The Voice", it is a gift from God.

Celine Dion has a premonition that "The Voice" will make her rise again, and "Let It Go" will send her to the peak of the 1990s again.

She really couldn't understand Eric's creative ability. She could only lament his genius, and at the same time complained about God's injustice.

It's a waste to let a person who doesn't have much passion for music have such a strong creative talent, and it makes people sad to see it.

Compared to Celine Dion, Eric didn't struggle too much when considering becoming a singer.

Maikou's voice is obviously not suitable. "Let it go" is destined to be sung with a female voice, otherwise Princess Elsa will transform when she walks in the snow.

The BGM is a man singing, which is too inconsistent. The audience will be embarrassed and laugh to death.

As for female vocals, the only ones owned by Meiyi are Swift and Fruit. Swift still has a white voice, so she definitely won't be able to sing, and the effect of singing hard will not be good.

The physical function of the fruit is very strong, but it is a bit too strong, causing the voice to be too thick.

She is suitable for songs with strong explosiveness. She doesn't match Ashley's dubbing at all and has no chemical reaction.

Excluding Taylor Swift and Fruit Girl, Eric also thought about Lavigne, Avril Lavigne and others who could use this song to pick up girls.

But the reason for giving up was still the same, the sound didn’t match.

In the end, the choice fell on Celine Dion. Her invincible singing skills allowed her to easily pick up the songs, and the two had a good relationship.

Think about it, from the 20s to the 90s, in the past 21 years, countless movies have been produced around the world, and countless theme songs and episodes have been produced.

However, in terms of comprehensive popularity and classicness, only "my heart will go on" and "let it go" can be seen at a glance.

"The Sound of Music" is not enough, "The Blue Bridge" is not enough, "The Last Days" is not enough, and "Castle in the Sky" is not enough
"See You Again" may be enough to pass two hands, but it's still not enough.

The fact that two famous songs have been sung by one singer can be regarded as a good story in the history of film and music.

In the cinema, people gradually entered and took their seats. As the lights fell, the noisy voices disappeared.

Hey!
The big golden lion roared, and "Frozen" kicked off.
