Chapter 122 Prosperous Universal Pictures

The location of Universal Studios Studios is right between Burbank and Hollywood!
In terms of the majesty of the studio, Universal Pictures is far behind MGM.

With only 12 acres of land, two castle gates with a height of 6 meters were built. All kinds of movie posters at the gates were framed in glass frames. Tao Xi was lucky enough to see Sophie in these photo frames.【 Out of Africa]!
"Hey! If your girlfriend is spotted by Universal Studios, you will make a lot of money!"

Hearing this sentence, Tao Xi took a special issue of "Good Morning America" ​​from the newspapers at the gate of Universal Studios and handed it to Jerry Bruckheimer, complaining: "You said that even a newspaper knows about Sophie? Marceau is a newcomer favored by [Neil United Cinemas], does Universal Pictures not know?"

Jerry saw the headline on the front page of [Good Morning America] [The movie "Out of Africa" ​​ushered in the best lineup in history, the British goddess Audrey Hepburn and the French flower Sophie Marceau joined]

The picture on the front page of the newspaper is Audrey Hepburn and Sophie Marceau, the old and the young, happily snuggling together.

"Do you know anyone from ABC?"

Tao Xi immediately complained with dissatisfaction when he heard Jerry's words: "Of course I do! I'm abc's queen night crawler, and damn Emily betrayed me to praise her teacher's stinky feet! Now ABC is not Metropolis anymore, it's damn Disney! I helped Disney sell nearly 4 CDs of his Pinocchio before he gave me such a worthless newspaper headline."

"what the fxxk?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding me? You! Sold 4 CDs?"

Tao Xi asked back with doubts: "Yes! 4 copies, are you surprised? Neil's Hot Dog Chain is not only a restaurant that only sells hot dogs, it is also the largest seller of pirated CDs in California!"

"Oh! My God!" Jerry Bruckheimer seemed to have discovered some novel continent, and he kept pestering Tao Xi and asked him how in the end "Pinocchio" was released for only 14 days. He sold so many CDs.

"It's very simple! The cost of pirated CDs is very low. If you buy a genuine [Pinocchio], I'll give you a pirated CD of [Ghostbusters], do you want to buy it?"

When Jerry heard this, he immediately stopped his steps and stared at Tao Xi with big eyes, "If Columbia Pictures knew about this, it would definitely sue you for bankruptcy!"

"Huh, sue? I'm just the seller. What he should really catch are those Mexicans! I'll only pay a fine for this, and the profits from pirated CDs are enough for me to pay the fine!"

Tao Xi waved his hand nonchalantly and prevaricated. In fact, when Old West knew about this at the beginning, he was also very dissatisfied.

After all, Tao Xi has a plan to list [Neil's Hot Dog Chain Restaurant], so it is not appropriate to leave such a stain for no reason, but Tao Xi really has no way to control this matter. United Cinemas] has accelerated its pace of expansion, but many stores cannot keep up with the publicity, and the daily income of the stores will certainly not be able to cover the cost.

So Tao Xi thought of such a method under Nilta's suggestion, and this is also the way he is anxious to turn the 1000 million US dollars in his hand into a spendable way!
"Don't care about these details, you just need to do what you should do well."

Jerry Bruckheimer stopped arguing after hearing Tao Xi's perfunctory words. How can they be so noble in Hollywood?

Jerry Bruckheimer seemed to be very familiar with the interior of the film studio, and took Tao Xi around to a studio marked "Mask".

"This is the set of the mask! It's just that the movie has already been filmed. I guess Peter Bogdanovich must have time to take over the movie."

The location of the studio and the editing room are very close. As soon as Jerry pushed open the door of the editing room, a strong smell of tobacco wafted out of the room, and there were a few old men lying here and there.

"Jerry! Oh! Fxxk, aren't you planning to shoot [Top Gun] recently? Why do you remember this place?" Peter Bogdanovich, who woke up immediately, rubbed his still bloodshot asked with dazed eyes.

"Look at the script! [Ghost Story], just 7 days to see if you can shoot it, and I heard you said that your photography team will be disbanded soon."

Tao Xi looked at this crude editing room, which was far inferior to the 007 editing room he had seen before.

The editing room here only has a computer, a large screen, a water dispenser, and two sofas. The 007 editing room that Tao Xi saw before is much larger than this one. There are 15 computers used for editing alone. There are so many stations.

"7 days! How much?"

When Jerry Bruckheimer heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Tao Xi, who waved his hand nonchalantly: "10 US dollars? 20 US dollars?"

Peter Bogdanovich threw the script at his feet in an instant when he heard Tao Xi's words.

Tao Xi bowed his head to pick up the script and was not angry but waited for Jerry Bruckheimer to solve the problem. Tao Xi walked out on his own in order to give Jerry and his friends some personal space.

At the entrance of the editing room, there are some behind-the-scenes photos that the crew has already made and are pasted on the wall. Taussett just glanced at the photos on the wall and knew that the man named Peter Bogdanovich inside was another Independent art director.

Just when Tao Xi was wandering around the filming area of ​​the movie [Mask] alone, a lively voice suddenly came from nearby: "Meryls is here! Meryls is here to visit!"

Tao Xi, who stretched his head to look out, didn't see who Meryls was. Instead, he saw a person surrounded by a large group of people walking towards the crew opposite the [mask].

Because the distance was too far, Tao Xi didn't see the name of the crew, but Tao Xi saw the aura of a big Hollywood star for the first time!

Crowds and huddles, surrounded by fans everywhere, even the car chartered by the stars to visit the class is extraordinary, full of ice cream, fast food and French fries.

"It's over!" Jerry Bruckheimer walked behind Tao Xi with his hands in his pockets and a happy expression on his face.

Tao Xi glanced back at Jerry and asked, "What conditions does he want?"

"He doesn't want to sign! You need to pay him $20 in labor costs. He opened a film distribution company with his friends, and he needs money to keep the entire camera crew."

Tao Xi curled his lips in disdain and replied: "It doesn't matter! As long as he sees the box office when the time comes, he won't regret it!"
