Best Actor

    "50 million?!" In the same office, Sean opened his eyes in disbelief.

    "Yes, 50 million." Vladimir sighed, his face was very ugly.

    After entering October, although various fundraising activities are still going on, multinational forces have begun to gather in the Persian Gulf, and the pain caused by 9/11 has begun to ease. After all, most people are on TV Seeing the collapse of the Twin Towers, the impact felt is no better than the people on the scene in New York.

    And life goes on, so activities are beginning to return to normal, and Vladimir has a good news and a bad news for Sean.

    The good news is that the right to remake "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" only cost 2 million to get it, and the cost of the movie is estimated to be around 12 million, but Compared with the bad news he brought, this good news is a little worthless. When Sean hurriedly ended the recording and rushed from the studio to the office, he was told by Vladimir that Simon Fuller's lion's mouth opened for 50 million.

    "This is too exaggerated, even if "Pop Idol" is very popular in the UK, it is not worth the price! Did he forget that there is no TV station in Hollywood willing to take over!" Sean Said a little annoyed.

    "So, he doesn't want to buy it." Vladimir sighed.

    Sean didn't speak, he sat down and frowned, covered his mouth with the back of his hand for a few minutes, and then squeezed his fist: "I'll buy it!"

    "What did you say?!" Vladimir's eyes widened.

    "50 million copyright, I bought it." Sean raised his head and said word by word.

    Keeping a shocked look, Vladimir opened it, as if to say: Are you crazy? But looking at Sean's firm gaze, in the end he didn't say anything.

    "...Okay, I'll let him know." After swallowing hard, the new CEO of Samsara Pictures replied, and then went out to make a call.

     Sean, leaning on the back of the chair, let out a sigh of relief. Although he was very unwilling, he was helpless. He could only tell himself in his heart that it was alright. The 50 million will be brought to him in the next ten years. Come several times the profit, and the influence that money can't buy! Just do this show!

    However, the other party actually chose to refuse.

    "What the **** does that **** mean!" After hearing the news, Sean finally couldn't help roaring, even swearing "motherfucker".

    " He said I'm sorry, I said that number before, not to ask for a huge price, just want us to retreat. Then he said, "Pop Idol" is his hard work, he is I won't buy the copyright." Vladimir sighed with an incomprehensible expression, "In short, he is very grateful for our attention, but unfortunately he can't agree to our request."

    "Shit!" Sean was still angry, "He just rejected us because of our lack of strength. If we can have a close relationship with the four major TV stations, this The **** **** has already climbed over, even if he refuses to sell the copyright, he will beg for cooperation!"

    After venting like this, and taking a few deep breaths, Sean finally calmed down.

    "Sorry, Todd, I lost my way," he said first.

     "It doesn't matter, if I were in your position, I would be angry when I heard the news." Vladimir comforted.

    "In this case, let's make a reality show that is completely ours and similar to "Pop Idol"." Sean said after adjusting his collar.

    "A reality show similar to "Pop Idol" that is entirely ours?" Vladimir couldn't understand.

    "That's right, "Pop Idol" is a talent show about singers, right? But talent shows aren't just limited to singers, right?" Sean sorted out his thoughts, his eyes flashing inexplicably of light.

    "Well... yes." Vladimir frowned, trying to keep up with his thoughts, "So what kind of talent can we make besides singers? Actors?"

    "No, I mean—model!" Sean's eyes brightened, "You should know the 'Victoria's Secret' brand of lingerie, they make catwalks and hold them every year. There are a lot of models, and I happen to know one of them, and through her, I can get into a relationship with Victoria's Secret, and then invite their chief model to be a judge or host, and model the audition after "Pop Idol"."

    "It's not easy, although we can copy the various settings of "Pop Idol", it's no secret, just watch a few more episodes to understand, but we can't convince 'Victoria's Secret' , this talent show must be successful. Moreover, they are also well-known clothing brands now, and our qualifications are relatively too shallow." Vladimir frowned and recalled the information.

    "So, I have a question, where do you think talent shows like "Pop Idol" are most popular, or most likely to be popular?" Sean immediately asked.

    “Participation,” Vladimir responded quickly, “everyone can participate, and the process is transparent, meaning everyone can succeed.”

    "This counts as one, what else?" Sean asked.

    "Just tell me, Sean." Vladimir said depressedly.

    "Okay, that's power!" Sean laughed, "This kind of talent show can give the audience an illusion that the dazzling singers and models on the stage are all chosen by them Yes, it's up to them, it's like..."

    "The general election!" Vladimir answered immediately.

    "That's it. Let the audience feel that they have power in their hands. This is the true meaning of talent shows." Sean nodded heavily. His head suddenly became a lot more sober, even more sober than usual. In a split second, he flashed and grabbed many things in front of him, and then quickly jumped up.

    "Indeed, this should be a good rhetoric, plus if they invite their lead model to be a judge or host, it is also a kind of promotion for 'Victoria's Secret', and they are backed by CBS, also No worries about not being able to find a TV station to broadcast. Then what we need to do next is to first determine the general process of "Pop Idol", then design our model selection process, and then contact 'Victoria's Secret'."

    "We can also come up with a cool name, what do you think of America's Next Top Model?" Sean added.

    "Sounds grand." Vladimir laughed.

    "So, let's do it." Sean settled.

    Fuller still refuses to sell after asking for 50 million is really unpleasant news, in this case, then make your own talent show. Of course, when it comes to future fame, compared to " "Pop Idol" is definitely not as good. After all, Sean only spent a little time recalling "Pop Idol", but the others were impressed by this stimulation.

      Well…

      . But then again, even if you think of this idea, you may not be able to make it. After all, Fuller came up with this idea after discovering and losing the Spice Girls. He has a deep understanding of popular elements. Such an experience, it is difficult to say whether it can grasp the appetite of the audience.

      , of course, you have to use your talents.

    Put this aside for now, and there are two more good news, the first from Neil, when the US-led multinational force officially launched an offensive on Afghanistan on October 7, Neil was in The stock market also stopped, aside from the 10 million principal given at the beginning, he made a profit of 50 million for Sean!

    "You know, the government then introduced various policies to stabilize the stock market, so there is no way to make much money in a short period of time. But because there is going to be a war later, so gold, crude oil and other futures are bullish, So I shorted stocks and longed futures, and started on both sides at the same time, although I didn’t earn as much as last time because of the short time, but it’s not bad.” Neil said so.

    Indeed, five times the profit is already very good, and ten times the profit is tempting, but it must be done within one's capacity. Sean is already very happy. The profits from "The Big Greek Wedding", he is now considered a billionaire.

    Now you can buy a large-scale luxury house in Beverly Hills without any scruples, and you can invest more in financing to ensure your right to speak. If you can't be satisfied, So how can you be satisfied? Of course, when he returned to San Francisco because of the terrorist attack, he didn't tell the story. He knew the old man's temper, let alone say that his net worth was not as good as him. .

    So, it only makes sense to talk about this when you have left him behind and reached a height that he cannot ignore.

    Well, this is good news, and there is another good news... In fact, this is not good news, it has been decided before, Jordana promised to remake "Texas Chainsaw" The heroine in The Killer.

    Shawn said before, to find a good script for Jordana, so that she can still maintain a role and a certain degree of exposure during her school at Yale, now that there is an intuitive box office, it should be A good movie is about to start production, and Naomi and Katie are not suitable, so naturally it can only be her - of course, don't think about word of mouth, it is almost impossible for the remake to surpass the original's word of mouth .
