Chapter 117 Top Gun
【007 Vitality of Dawn injects vitality into MGM again!The single-day box office of the show exceeded 1700 million U.S. dollars]

[The 007 series film won the box office championship again, the president of MGM threatened that there would be no investment limit for the 007 series film]

[Neill United Cinemas may sign a strategic agreement with MGM Pictures Group, the emergence of a dark horse will bring another storm to the Hollywood distribution market]

John Gran was looking at the newspaper in his hand triumphantly with a cigar in his mouth, while Peter Lamont sat and chatted with his old friend Terry Madden: "I told you a long time ago However, if that little guy is serious about something, we will definitely have unexpected gains."

Upon hearing this, Terry Madden teased 007's director John Grant: "Hey! I just said, you should have booked that girl for the heroine of Thunderbolt!"

The cigar-smoking director John Gran was not happy when he heard the words of these two people: "Does it mean that I was dissatisfied with Neal United Cinemas at the beginning? If I hadn't slapped the table in front of the board of directors, how could you be here today?" !"

Peter Lamont immediately laughed out loud when he heard this, and Arthur Wooster, who is also the assistant director, turned his head and consulted Peter Lamont: "Peter, I heard that Tao Xi called you yesterday. ?”

Hearing this sentence, Peter Lamont rolled his eyes at Terry Madden who was not far away: "Oh! Terry, I knew it was your big mouth that betrayed me! Tell me, Arthur, you He is not the first one in our crew to tell me that he wants to cooperate with Tao Xi. Let me explain to you first that he does not seem to be short of money. He also told me yesterday that he has 1000 million cash to invest in a movie. "

John Gran shrank his neck when he heard this sentence and did not say a word. In Hollywood, he paid cash to make a movie. As long as he is not a desperate director, he will not be tempted by that money!
"No, no, a good friend of mine recently received a script, and he thinks Sophie is very suitable."

Peter Lamont hesitated a little when he heard these words, but Arthur Wooster on the opposite side looked nervously at the old Peter.

Although several people here are the main creative team of the 007 crew, and he is also the assistant director of the crew, but there is a difference between the assistant director and the assistant director. For example, Terry Madden is the resident assistant director of MGM. The progress of the filming, and Peter Lamont as a living fossil of MGM to help the entire crew improve their endorsement and artistic standards.

As for him, he can be regarded as a handyman, such as the management of the lighting team and the photography team. He has a lot of authority, but the premise is that the director is willing to delegate power to you!

If the director doesn't give you the rights, then you don't shit.

Arthur Wooster is now at this critical juncture. Fortunately, he met Harvey Weinstein, the CEO of a small independent publishing company. Although his company is not very big, the company’s growth in recent years The development is not bad.

For example: Apocalypse Now, Edith and Marcel, these films are good in terms of both academic and independent films. The most important thing is that the relationship between Harvey Weinstein and Disney is very good!

As long as Arthur Wooster can get to know Tausi and Harvey Weinstein personally, he can get an independent producer in return for a movie!

"What about the name of the script? Harvey doesn't seem to have a very good reputation in the circle!"

When Arthur Wooster heard that Peter Lamont didn't bite the matter to death, Arthur Wooster immediately came to his spirits: "Don't worry, it's Don Simpson who wants to see him with Harvey, I have read the script about a pilot, if Tao Xi has the desire to invest, this movie will definitely help him a lot!"

"Wow! It seems that you, Arthur, have found a way out for you! Paramount is a good choice!" Peter Lamont stood up, smiled and nodded to Arthur Wooster before leaving.
-
When Harvey saw Tao Xi for the first time, he was very surprised!
Because Tao Xi is not yet an adult, he can own a movie theater with nearly 1000 screens. It is hard for Harvey to imagine how this little guy will grow up in Hollywood in the future.

But Jerry Bruckheimer took his studio partner to the front of Harvey and greeted Tao Xi: "Hello, my name is Jerry, and I appreciate your way of promoting the 007 movie." , that leaflet is really useful!"

Tao Xi glanced at Peter Lamont and stood up, shook hands with Jerry Bruckheimer and said politely: "Right! Actually, I also think that the credit for getting 007 to the front of the stage is not the drive-in theater." , I didn’t make much money relying on him.”

Don Simpson, who was sitting next to Jerry Bruckheimer, seemed impatient, and didn't wait for Tausi to say a second word to Jerry.

Don Simpson put a script in front of Tao Xi and said hastily: "I heard Harvey say that you have a lot of spare cash in your hand! The script of Top Gun happened to be that I cooperated with the U.S. Air Force with the support of Paramount. You happen to have a theater chain in your hand for a joint filming movie, you must have a better grasp of recovering your investment cost, you'd better watch it!"

Seeing Don Simpson's anxious look, Tao Xi just smiled: "It seems that your friend smoked a lot of marijuana before coming to see me! If you want to quit drug addiction, you can tell me, smoking Overdose can easily kill a person!"

As soon as Tao Xi said this, Don Simpson's face changed instantly, and Jerry Bruckheimer hurriedly grabbed him, the partner of the company, and patiently explained to Tao Xi: "You really know how to joke! Don's just being hotheaded, but the script is great, we've got Paramount backing, if you can support us in the California area, I think we'll be summer champions! And I hear you have a Good friend, if her schedule is right, we can give her a chance!"

Seeing his old friend Arthur begging for help, Peter Lamont poured a cup of coffee for Tao Xi: "Hey! Tao Xi, give it a try, after all, that person in [Neil United Cinemas] is Hollywood's raw egg , It's been so long, I haven't seen any interesting movies of you guys, why don't you give Jerry a chance, he has a good relationship with me!"

Tao Xi pretended to take over the script and flipped through it a few times.

Can Tausi write the script?
If the radio is suddenly generous, maybe Tao Xi can really make one, but if it is about reading the script, how can Tao Xi have the patience.

Time passed by like this, Don Simpson sucked his nose from time to time, but Jerry Bruckheimer looked at Tao Xi's expression seriously.
