    The Charlize thing ended like this, in an unexpected way, so even when he came out of her house the next day, Sean was still a little bit unbelievable. However, it doesn't matter what he thinks, because Charlize has already made a decision, and he didn't object at the first time. In this way, it is difficult to say what Charlize will do if he wants to break the contract. Although most of them have been drinking and chatting together in their relationship for more than a year, Sean knows that the other party will decide what to do. people to do it.

    Well, from now on, there is one more… um… bed partner besides Jennifer? Sean doesn't know how to describe their relationship. It's not like Jennifer who simply solves physical problems, nor does he tolerate and accept him like Naomi. If they are apart, they still talk about everything as they used to—this still needs to be tested— Going to bed and talking when necessary, and that inexplicable agreement, is so strange.

    Maybe I should be a little proud. Sean said to himself with some self-deprecation in his heart. He can indeed be proud. Since Charlize can confess the darkest side of her heart to him face to face, it does show that she has a lot of feelings for him, and she still has very complicated feelings. Also, if it was a previous life, Charlize would probably be ready to get married by now, then put off and break up with each other a few years later, he has changed a lot.

    Fortunately, although there were tabloid reporters at the party that day, or gossip collectors - the next day's newspaper published, what according to a well-informed source, Charlize Theron At a party, holding what looks like an apple in the habit, inviting people to take a few sips, laughing all the time, seems to be too high.

    Of course, this is all news published in the tabloids, and there are no photos, so it is not very convincing. More importantly, the people who saw this didn't notice the conflict between Sean and Charlize, otherwise God knows what tricks are being played by the media who are staring at him.

      Uppercase close-up. This will undoubtedly bring considerable trouble to Sean and Charlize, but Jessica should not care, anyway, they have reached an agreement, and the exposure during this period is far more than in the past few years, and the effect is quite good, of course she Don't mind a little more.

    So, if this happens, Frederick should be the one who has the headache. Who made Sean and Jessica's agent be him? From this point of view, Sean is doing him a favor by letting Sanders act as a proxy and then shunting it. Of course, what he thinks, that's his business.

    Let's talk about other things, after the Charlize thing was settled, the shooting of "The Aviator" became more smooth, basically it is completely possible to complete the shooting in early November, but take a break and Xiao Xiao Eun has to go to the "Fast and the Furious" crew again, so busy. From the company's side, David Shaw's script outline has been brought over. After Shawn read it, he immediately decided to set up the project and strive to broadcast it in the fall of next year. At the same time, he told Vladimir to get some copyrights.

    Because Greg House was definitely worth the investment, Sean didn't remember that clearly, but seeing this doctor in the setting was eccentric and didn't like to follow the rules, he somehow remembered something, although he couldn't Absolutely, but it's fine to gamble.

    However, there is good news on the TV side, but there are obstacles on the film side. When Vladimir went to negotiate with Hasbro, he was told that there were two senior producers, Don. Murphy and Tom DiSanto had already talked to them and got the film rights. This is really bad news, and according to the information collected by Vladimir, the reason for the delay is also related to the Bush administration's launch of the Iraq War.

    Well, to be specific, Don Murphy first found Hasbro and wanted to adapt another toy under their umbrella: Special Forces. However, according to the background setting of the toy, the base of the special forces is in the deserts of the Middle East, so when the Bush administration launched the Iraq War and was opposed by the United States, Hasbropen stopped the project.

    As a toy company interested in horizontal development, they also have vision and ambition, so they suggested adapting Transformers, and at the same time found another producer Tom DiSanto to join. Murphy did not have an intuitive impression of the Transformers market, but Di Santo was a fan of Transformers. Naturally, he agreed with both hands and vigorously promoted it. When Vladimir came to the door, they and Hasbro had already reached a preliminary agreement.

    But it's not entirely without opportunities. Even if Murphy and Di Santo get the adaptation rights, they can still only choose to cooperate with big productions. According to Vladimir's analysis, in order to ensure its own interests, Hasbro will definitely introduce more producers, and will not choose to let one of them dominate.

    "Transformers has a huge market, but it is also very risky. Live-action movies are not so easy to make. Both Hasbro and the production company will move forward cautiously, so it will be able to start up by next year. It is very efficient." Vladimir said with certainty, "As long as the current momentum is maintained, we still have a chance."

    In this case, Sean can only support him fully, after all, Vladimir is the one who runs the company, I believe he can make the most favorable choice.

    Because of this, when the other party felt that "Wedding Cracker" was very operational, Sean agreed. This script was the one I met at Charlize's party at the time. It was the work of Steve Faber. Sean promised to give him a chance to naturally not break his promise. Unexpectedly, Vladimir really liked it.

    The next thing to mention is the release of two films, first Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation", under the operation of Vladimir, there are 50 theaters at the end of September when the movie was released.

    Although Samsara Pictures can independently open 500 theaters, these theaters are all cooperative. If you want them to release a movie at the same time, it must be a movie with good box office prospects. , and "Lost in Translation" as an independent film obviously does not look like it is in this range.

    However, this situation changed quickly, because in the first week, these 50 theaters received 200,000 box office in three days, and the word of mouth is quite good, just like at the Venice Film Festival That way, it was unanimously praised by critics.

    "A finely detailed observation of an improbable romance." - San Francisco Chronicle

    “This funny, bittersweet film is a cross-cultural metaphor for those who have lost themselves in their lives.” —The Hollywood Reporter

    “Sofia Coppola has proven her directing skills are unmatched.” —Chicago Tribune

    In this case, it is natural to invest a lot, so the theater line quickly expanded to 200, and as the theater line expanded, the box office would naturally expand. 10,000, the increase has reached 200%, and the total box office is close to the one million mark.

    Although the expansion of the theater chain is the main reason, it also shows the potential of this movie, so by the third week, the theater chain has increased to 500, and it may increase in the future .

    What the theater owners want is interests, as long as the box office is good enough and the potential is deep enough, even theaters other than the partners will take the initiative to negotiate.

    And then, Vladimir signed a long-term screening contract with many theaters. Sean can guess what he thinks. Basically, according to the current box office data, there is no problem in recovering the cost at all, but if you say you can make money, you may not make much money. "Lost in Translation" is not "Chainsaw" after all.

    In this case, why not give up a profit and lay the foundation for another goal? I believe that old Coppola will definitely play a role in it, just like helping to create public opinion this time.

    Reincarnation Pictures did not do much publicity for "Lost in Translation", but after its release, many critics watched and commented for the first time, even if they participated in the Venice Film Festival and won a vote factor, but to say the old Coppola didn't operate in it would certainly be impossible.

    With this layer of protection, and Sofia herself definitely wants to be affirmed, it is not a big deal for Vladimir to expect it.

    So Sean still supports, if the company wants to develop, nothing can fall behind.

      With the full cooperation of Max, and thanks to the great harvest of the American version of "Midnight Bell" last year, more than 3,000 theaters were released in total. The result did not live up to their expectations. It won a box office of 40 million in the first week, and unceremoniously occupied the No. 1 position in the North American box office. Such a result is absolutely dazzling.

      The Japanese version of "The Grudge" is no longer available, and people can only compare it with "Midnight Bell". However, as soon as the movie was released, these guys changed their minds, saying that it was a very stylized Japanese horror film, very exciting and worth watching.

      Nowhere is immune. Bedrooms, hospitals, corridors, and even quilts. It is said that when the movie is shown, the most screaming place is that a character is dragged from the quilt by Gaya, and many people are afraid to sleep at night.

    So there is such a result, at least three weeks, at most four weeks, the North American box office must be over 100 million, of course, you don't need to think about anything else.
