America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 279 278. Add some ice to this summer

Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

Hahahaha

"Cheers!"

Bang, bang, bang!

The wine glasses clinked together and made a crisp sound. Except for Joshua, the Cooper family gathered for a family gathering to celebrate overcoming the difficulties.

But if Joshua was really there, he would probably have a heart attack out of envy.

He just had sex with two ordinary girls and his legs were broken.

Eric has already had sex with five famous female stars. This is the gap. He will definitely regret not entering the entertainment industry.

𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗻𝗲𝘁】

The old man said with a red face: "Harvey Weinstein actually has the nerve to beg for mercy, what is he thinking!"

"Hehe... that's because he is scared and is about to be driven crazy. I heard that the Weinstein Company is considering firing him. It's funny to think about being fired by the company he founded." Nicole said with a smile.

"This is also normal. The Weinstein brothers have had conflicts for a long time. Bob is in charge of the internal affairs and Harvey is in charge of the external affairs. In fact, both of them have played a decisive role in the development of the company."

"But it is obvious that most of the halo and benefits have been taken away by Harvey Weinstein, and Bob has always been a little resentful."

"Now that the ship is about to capsize, he certainly won't be buried with Harvey, and those directors also want to step on it."

Eric took a bite of ostrich meat, which was still so delicious.

I just don't know if his mother-in-law will play a big man drinking medicine if she knows that Nicole is not Eric's only woman.

"That orc is now a pile of stinky dog ​​shit. Everyone who sees him is disgusted. I am afraid of stepping on him when I walk."

"Michael Aeneas has also mobilized his connections, hoping to unite the power of the six major companies to put pressure on the victims and try to pay compensation to settle the matter."

"But it seems that few people buy it. Have you seen the dynamic posted by Jeffrey Katzenberg?"

"I saw it last night. Now I understand what you said. It seems that the person he said wanted to use power to plead for Harvey was Michael Aeneas." Charlize Theron suddenly realized.

"But it seems that Katzenberg doesn't want to give this face. Not only does he not want to, but he also publicly slapped him in the face, and he almost put Aeneas's name on it."

Gadot asked curiously: "Wasn't Katzenberg a great contributor to Disney before? I remember he was the director of "The Lion King". The two should be old acquaintances."

For this, the Olsen sisters who have been running the company have a lot of experience.

"Gadot, do you like your boss?"

Gadot looked at Eric: "You know this better than me."

"Okay, this is an exception, but workers don't like capitalists, and Katzenberg is the same. When he was at Disney, funds, manpower, and projects were all blocked."

"At that time, you were inferior to others. Who would be willing to give a good face to the former boss when you go out to work alone?"

"Besides, DreamWorks was under great pressure before it handed over the overseas distribution rights to MGM. Michael Aeneas didn't miss the old times at that time."

"Katzenberg must have been itching with hatred in his heart. . "

Dad shook his head slightly: "He can't help Harvey. Weinstein is doomed this time. I have received news from the other side. It is estimated that Disney's amusement park will have problems in a few days."

"Now the timing is just right. Michael Inas will have no energy to care about Harvey Weinstein by then. He may even kick him."

"By the way, I noticed that MGM's stock price has recovered. This is a good thing. Have you all bought it?"

The five girls nodded in unison. When the stock price plummeted some time ago, it really triggered a frenzy. Many people thought that MGM was going to be finished, and they were scrambling to sell it.

Eric encouraged them to eat as much as they could, and now is a good time.

The five girls have always been very obedient in business, except that Gadot has no savings, so Eric secretly gave her a sum of money.

The richest Olsen sisters have already eaten 0.7% of the shares.

"In fact, although the price is relatively high now, you can still continue to buy. I expect MGM's stock price to usher in a big leap in a few days."

"Honey, do you mean that the box office of "Frozen" will be a big hit?"

"Yes, it will definitely be a big hit. The whole world will be fascinated by Princess Elsa."

"You are exaggerating. Will it be stronger than "Shark Tale"?"

Two months ago, "Shark Tale" won a high box office of nearly 430 million US dollars, making it the highest-grossing animated film so far this year.

And its cost was only about 70 million US dollars, which really made a lot of money for DreamWorks.

This movie is indeed excellent, but another reason for achieving a box office far beyond expectations is that the Big Six and MGM have a fight, causing blockbusters to be rescheduled, allowing DreamWorks to take advantage of the loophole.

The box office of 430 million is indeed quite terrifying, surpassing last year's "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 3", and is on par with "Terminator 3", which can be ranked 7th in the year.

Many people predict that Shark Tale will be among the top three animated films this year. The reason why it is in the top three is that there is also a DreamWorks blockbuster Shrek 2 and Disney's big production The Incredibles.

As for Frozen, the response it received since the trailer was released was not very good.

In order to maintain the mystery, the trailer must not include those high-energy shots, nor the classic song "Let it Go".

When the audience and many film critics saw that it was adapted from Andersen's fairy tale, some people's interest was immediately extinguished.

The story of "The Snow Queen" is too old-fashioned. Everyone has heard it for decades and knows the plot outline with their eyes closed. There is no mystery at all.

On the other hand, the opponent, "Shrek the Monsters" takes a subversive anti-routine approach. The first part gives people a refreshing feeling, and everyone likes this.

"The Incredibles" sounds like it will have great visual effects and combat animations, which can attract the interest of many teenagers and adults.

In contrast, the expectation of "Frozen" is not as strong as it is created.

But there are also many good reviews. For example, in the trailer released, the audience unanimously agreed that "Frozen" completely surpassed all animated films released last year in terms of the exquisiteness of the picture.

Even "Shark Tale", which was also polished by DreamWorks, has a huge gap in picture.

After all, the cost is there. One of them may have been watered down by $70 million, while the other one actually spent $180 million.

In order to produce the snowflake special effects in "Frozen", the technical teams of DreamWorks and MGM specially developed more than a dozen software and new technologies, which brought innovation to the industry.

This is why film companies are considered technology-based enterprises.

"Let's wait and see. I want to cool down this hot summer!"

The time came to the premiere of "Frozen" on June 11.

It was still MGM's strategic partner, Arclight Cinema, with a long red carpet laid out, extending to the edge of the asphalt road.

Eric arrived at the scene with Judy in a car this time. Maybe his fake father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching, so he still had to act like he should.

He also made it clear to the five women about their current relationship.

After knowing that Judy was a lesbian and the two were just acting, although Gadot felt a little wronged, she agreed for Eric's career.

Not many celebrities were invited this time, only good friends came to show their support, after all, the storm has not completely passed.

Under the flash, everyone took a group photo in front of the camera.

Ashley voiced Princess Elsa, she suddenly frowned, it turned out that Judy was standing next to her, thinking of the other party's sexual orientation, she suddenly felt a little weird.

"Eric, have you seen that photo?" Ryan Reynolds asked sarcastically.

"What photos? Which celebrity's privacy did you get?"

"What are you talking about? I'm a gentleman. I'm talking about the photo of Harvey Weinstein being taken into the police station. He looks like he's ten years older, with gray hair."

"Then guess who did it?"

"It must be you. Do you even need to guess?"

"Haha. This old bitch framed me. I submitted all the evidence. Michael Aeneas dragged it out for a few days, but he couldn't save him."

"I read the news. Disneyland in California had a safety hazard and was ordered to close for a month. Did you do that?"

"What do you think? He's awesome. He was planning to close for at least three months."

Ryan Reynolds' mouth twitched. He couldn't do this kind of intrigue. He was content to be a star in his life.

The arrival of Celine Dion made the paparazzi even more excited.

"Look here, look here, Celine, are you alone? Will Michael, Jenny, and Jayz also come?"

Celine Dion smiled and waved: "I don't know the three of them, but I came with a mission, and I sang the theme song."

"Don't leave later, remember to buy tickets to come in, so you can hear this new song."

Celine Dion is worthy of being the queen of sketches. She has a humorous and easy-going personality. Just a few words can make the paparazzi laugh.

"Who is the champion of "The Voice"?"

Celine Dion glanced at the other party and saw the sign of the Independent.

"I will not accept non-film interviews today. This is the premiere. In addition, I don't know who the champion of "The Voice" is. Everything will wait for the live broadcast of the finals."

"Is your new song good? If not, can I refund the ticket?" A paparazzi asked.

"Of course it sounds good, it's excellent, it's a rare masterpiece, I can tell you now, you must come to the premiere, you will feel the same as the Titanic."

This bold statement made the paparazzi's eyes light up, and he immediately prepared a title in his mind: Celine Dion said that the theme song of "Frozen" is better than "My Heart Will Go On".

Even if someone said it was not inferior to, it would become better in the mouth of the paparazzi.

"Celine, is it really as good as you said? More classic than "My Heart Will Go On"?

"Haha. I know your tricks, you want to trick me, but I won't be fooled."

At this time, Eric came over and hugged Celine Dion.

"Thank you for coming, Siti."

"This is my job, and I should thank you, thank you for letting me sing "Let it Go".

Celine Dion's gratitude was sincere, when Eric came to her with the song.

Just humming along with the song, she realized what an excellent work it was.

When she sang it with piano for the second time, she knew she had to get the rights to sing this song.

When I watched the sample video at the end, when I saw my singing voice accompanying the animation, I felt like I was back in 1997, back on that big ship.

Is this song difficult to sing?

Actually, it is not difficult. The main thing is that the vocal range should be wide and the high notes can be reached.

There are a lot of such singers in the European and American music scene. As long as the body function is suitable and they have received systematic training, they can do it.

In a word, there is no pressure at all from the teens to the fifties and sixties.

And Eric is willing to give such an excellent work to himself to sing, which is just like "The Voice", a gift from God.

Celine Dion has a hunch that "The Voice" has made her rise again, and "Let it go" will send her to the peak of the 1990s again.

As for Eric's creative ability, she really doesn't understand it. She can only sigh that he is a genius and complain about God's injustice at the same time.

It is a waste to let a person who is not very passionate about music have such a strong creative talent. It makes people feel distressed.

Compared with Celine Dion, Eric did not entangle too much when considering the singer.

Michael's voice is obviously not suitable. "Let it go" is destined to be sung by female voices, otherwise Princess Elsa will soon transform when walking in the snow.

The BGM is a man's singing, which is too inconsistent. The audience will be embarrassed and laugh to death.

As for female voices, Meiyi only has Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Taylor Swift still has a white voice, so she definitely can't sing it. The effect of hard singing is not good.

Katy Perry's body function is very strong, but it is a bit too strong, resulting in a too thick voice.

She is suitable for songs with strong explosive power, which is completely incompatible with Ashley's dubbing, and there is no chemical reaction.

Excluding Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, Eric also thought of Layne, Avril and others, who could use this song to pick up girls.

But the reason for giving up is still the same, the voice is not suitable.

In the end, the candidate fell on Celine Dion. Her invincible singing skills allowed her to easily grasp the song, and the two had a good relationship.

Think about it, from the 1990s to the 2020s, in the past 30 years, countless movies have been produced all over the world, and countless theme songs and interludes have been born.

But in terms of comprehensive popularity and classic degree, only "My Heart Will Go On" and "Let It Go" can stand out from the crowd.

"The Sound of Music" is not enough, "Waterloo Bridge" is not enough, "Ghost" is not enough, and "Castle in the Sky" is not enough

"See You Again" may be able to pass twice, but it is still not enough.

And two famous songs handed down from generation to generation were sung by one singer, which can be regarded as a good story in the history of film and music.

In the cinema, people gradually entered and took their seats. As the lights fell, the noisy voices disappeared.

Ao!

The golden lion roared loudly, and "Frozen" kicked off.
