Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 75: Wedding banquet

   "So, what is the relationship between you two now?"

   Looking at the blond girl who was whispering to Annika not far away, the old gun whispered to Charlotte.

"what relationship?"

   Thinking of the agreement with Charlize, Charlotte couldn’t help but want to smile bitterly, but recall the feeling after that——

   "Above fire, bag, and friend, the lover is not full."

   There is only such a description he can say.

   "Well, at least she is much better than the girls you hooked up from the bar before."

   For this kind of relationship, the more old-fashioned old gun did not know what to say, he could only pat Charlotte on the shoulder.

   Today, "Fatal Corner" has been officially released for more than a week. Although limited to the characteristics of horror films, the box office trend has declined to a certain extent, but now that the cumulative box office has exceeded 40 million US dollars, it does not matter.

   After all, according to the algorithm that 1/3 of the box office made profit for the producer, now the film "Fatal Corner" has completely recovered all costs including promotional expenses, and the rest is net profit. For investors, the only thing to consider is the difference between earning more and earning less.

   So, the celebration banquet that the producer Westwood said before was held as scheduled.

   "Tony, this guy is getting more and more energetic!"

   Looking at the person wearing a dog-like figure in the distance, even the scalp exposed because of the collapse of the roof is smeared, and he is chatting with a group of investors, the producer, the old gun curls his lips.

   "How do I feel that this old boy doesn't look sick at all? He is so energetic now, is he still planning to retire early?"

   "How do I know this!"

  Charlotte is also a little unhappy with the producer, who seems to be a little bit ambitious now.

   "However, if you want to see him sick, it's easy-just put the box office report since the release of "Fatal Bend" in front of him."

   Thinking of the previous few times, Mr. Westwood was looking at the box office report while holding his chest, his face flushed, as if he would have a heart attack at any time, the old gun couldn't help laughing.

   "Speaking of which, do you know why Tony this guy put the celebration party in USC?"

   For Americans who are accustomed to parties, celebration banquets can't be just eating and drinking. It's a little more private. Crazy play and death are the core. But like this kind of more serious, social interaction takes a large proportion.

   It’s just that, even for the sake of socializing, the fact that Mr. Producer put the party directly at USC still puzzled Charlotte. Listening to the meaning of the old gun, does he know any inside story?

   Looking at Charlotte’s curious eyes, the old gun raised the champagne glass in his hand.

   "It's actually very simple. People who have known him for a long time know that that guy graduated from USC."

   "……"

  ——This is really a simple reason!

   Charlotte understands now. If we say that in ancient China, returning home with beautiful clothes was the inevitable choice for successful people. So in modern times, after some achievements have been made, returning to his alma mater to dress up as a 13 has become another big standard for showing superiors.

  Especially if the teacher who taught me was still there, it would be even better——

   Regardless of whether it is true or false, I might have punished myself in the past, but now I am a student again in front of a teacher who has passed away and listened to a teaching that I would never listen to at all. It feels...

   Don’t even say that Westerners don’t have this hobby, otherwise, where did the alumni associations of those prestigious schools come from?

   Even if you all know that after this wave of installation is complete, you will inevitably have to make a donation to make money, but what about it?

   Everyone is still going forward. After all, a person cannot even pretend to be a 13 in his life. What is the difference between it and salted fish?

   Obviously, Mr. Westwood does not want to be salted fish.

   "But USC actually agreed to hold a celebration party on campus. Isn't this a bit wrong?"

   "There is nothing wrong, right?"

   Old Gun didn’t take Charlotte’s skepticism seriously.

   "Don't say anything else, if there is a crew who thinks about shooting in schools, many universities will support it. After all, it can play a role in publicity!"

   "You are right."

   Charlotte didn't think there was any problem with the old gun theory.

   In fact, as the US Independence Day approaches, the upcoming "Forrest Gump" has been filmed in USC.

  Thinking of it this way, it’s nothing new that the crew of "Fatal Turn" can come here to have a celebration party.

   Especially this party was not open to the media, so in addition to the crew members, some celebrities who are interested in the movie came. Among them, a few Charlotte also knew--

   "The real estate tycoon is not selling his house in New York, so what is he doing here?"

   Looking at the wild blond hair, Charlotte was a little dazed.

   "Follow him! I heard that he is now struggling on the verge of bankruptcy, and he may be on the street someday."

   Obviously, Lao Qiang has never heard of the phrase "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi". He retracted his gaze and looked at Charlotte with some seriousness:

   "Seeing that this film is so profitable, do you regret the original decision?"

   Charlotte knew what the other person was talking about, he shrugged.

   "If there was no such carrot hanging in front of you, would you think that my qualifications would have driven these guys to move?"

"Right."

   "And the money is actually not much, even less if it is distributed to everyone, not to mention that the new line company has an old problem..."

   "You mean—"

   The old gun understood all of a sudden, his face suddenly hard to look,

"are you sure?"

   "When I discussed with Westwood about the distribution of the money that was promised to everyone at the beginning, the old guy suggested that I leave it alone, and said that he himself was going to leave the new job..."

   "That seems to be true! Although Tony's guy is a bit slippery, but in many cases, he is still a good person~www.readwn.com~ When it comes to this, the old gun can't help but gritted his teeth.

   "Xin Xian, the **** company, is going to run into trouble again."

   "It's not always possible to fall behind the bill, but it is their usual tactic to delay the delivery and share by various means."

   Charlotte echoed the old gun's argument.

   For Charlotte from later generations, he is no stranger to the new line company, the producer of the "Lord of the Rings" series——

   This company is better at making low-cost horror movies, which is one of their ability to settle down.

   Another stunt of their fame is concealing income and defaulting on share. Even if this caused a series of lawsuits, they would not hesitate.

After Peter Jackson finished filming "The Lord of the Rings", he enjoyed this treatment and was half to death. Charlotte is also regarded as one of the lovers of "Middle-earth", so naturally he will not forget this kind of thing. .

   "When I knew that the producer of "Fatal Turn" was a new line, I guessed it would be such a day."

   "So you don't care about the share they promised?"

   The old gun suddenly realized.

"That's not true. Although the new line will default on the share, if you think of some way, you can get it sooner or later. The main reason is the sentence mentioned above-only at this price can the film be made. road"."

   Charlotte pointed to herself,

"For me, the first movie is more important than making money. As long as investors and major producers have confidence in me as a director, then this little money can be earned back soon. Anyway, Old gun, you should know—"

   Charlotte blinked at her red-bearded partner.

   "Why is the new line in arrears, and how do we stop the loss?"
