American Fortune Life

"Well, I see..."

Brad Gray, CEO of Paramount Pictures, hung up the phone and sighed softly with his brows tightly furrowed.

"NBCUniversal belongs to Andy Smith."

Sitting across from him, Adam Goodman, who was in charge of DreamWorks at Paramount, had a calm expression and was not surprised at all. After all, this incident was not surprising at all. He is naturally well aware of Brad's worries.

After the departure of the experienced Cherry Lansing, the helmsman of Paramount's super ship was handed over to Brad Gray, who had no experience in leading a large film company. , snatched DreamWorks, founded by Spielberg in 1994, from Universal.

The four top-grossing films in 2007, "Shrek 3", "Transformers", "The Movie of the Bees" and "The Skate Duo" all came from Paramount's DreamWorks, which also made Paramount the champion.

However, the contempt of Spielberg by Philip Dorman, CEO of Paramount's parent company Viacom, led to a complete breakdown in the relationship between Brad Gray and Spielberg, who was on Philip's side. The farce of the factory division has also intensified.

Paramount's other money printing machine, the "Mission: Impossible" series created by Tom Cruise, the two parties had friction due to the issue of profit sharing and ended their cooperative relationship.

Originally thought that I found a new good friend, the new box office engine Marvel, and made a lot of money through "Iron Man", and there will be many Marvel movies in the future that can continue to make a lot of money by discovering.

However, at this time, Andy Smith, the owner of the Marvel Group, completed the acquisition of NBC Universal, and the rival Universal Pictures became Andy Smith's asset. How could Ludgrey not be distraught?

The "good friends" who had brought the box office left one after another, and Paramount staged a scene of cutting off its left and right arms again and again.

"It's useless to think so much. If the other party really wants to take back the distribution rights, we have no good way to stop it, but I believe that the possibility of Marvel breaching the contract is not high. After all, Andy Smith's original plan to acquire NBC Universal was not There is no Marvel Group . . . ”

Hearing Adam's comfort, Brad Gray couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, "That's a merger and acquisition, because you can't fully control it, as shrewd as Andy Smith, how can he let other people get a share of the profit.

Now, he has swallowed the entire NBC Universal Group in one gulp, the Mockingjay copyright company that holds multiple IPs, Peak Entertainment, which may aspire to be the box office champion this year, and the Marvel Group, which has countless superhero IPs. . . Hey, Hollywood, it's about to change! "

"Is it really about to usher in the era of Andy Smith?" Adam Goodman's complexion also changed slightly. He has experienced the era of Hollywood controlled by the monster octopus Luwa Thurman.

No one likes to live in someone else's shadow!

Especially for those of them who have experienced that kind of environment, the era of Hollywood tyrants must not be repeated!

"Maybe we should find a time and talk to a few other companies. If he wants to be Howard Hughes, we welcome it, but he wants to be Lou Wasserman. We need to do something together!"

Adam Goodman's words made Brad Gray just glance at the other party lightly, but he raised a trace of defense against Adam Goodman's intentions in his heart. You know, since he joined the current CEO Philip Dorman, he has become a The thorn in the side of the Lei Shidong family, if it really caused Andy Smith's revenge because of him, maybe he would be the first to be thrown out to carry the thunder. Frowning slightly, he muttered softly: "Howard Hughes..."

Howard Hughes, the real prototype of Iron Man, has been a streamlined body all his life, with zero resistance, and he can do whatever he wants if he wants money, money, and fame.

A very specific, "the world's greatest seductress" who only likes Hollywood female stars. He once dated more than 80 girls at the same time. Almost all the American actresses at that time had tui with him.

She has slept with all the actresses in Hollywood and had 164 star girlfriends. . .

Rich, famous, talented, and handsome, they do share a lot of similarities, and they are also very flamboyant and like female stars. As an insider, Brad Gray doesn't think Andy Smith's Gossip is media bullshit.

"Let's talk to him first, and get to know his attitude. Tomorrow night at the Four Seasons Hotel Summit Entertainment's "Ghost Story" celebration reception may be an opportunity." Brad Gray said with a wry smile.

"The ultra-cheap "Ghost Story" became the most profitable film in history, with a global box office of 243 million US dollars. Damn it, it is really enviable. A small-budget film has achieved a miracle that even Warren Buffett could not create. "

Adam Goodman on the opposite side also shook his head with a wry smile. This $15,000 movie has become a legend. It not only broke the global box office of "The Blair Witch", but also took away the most profitable aura in history.

While Summit Entertainment was making huge profits, Fatty Carl, the new Hollywood janitor introduced by Andy Smith, became the hottest pusher, producer, and boss in Hollywood in one fell swoop!

"Hey, maybe it's God's will!" Adam Goodman lamented helplessly.

Brad Gray also shook his head with a miserable expression. To be honest, when Summit Entertainment was happily preparing for the celebration banquet, most of the film companies in Hollywood were hiding in the corner and crying. You must know that the DVD of this movie I received them all before, but they were all thrown in the trash can.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the news that Andy Smith completed the acquisition of NBC Universal and hoped to communicate with the other party, Brad Gray would never have wanted to attend this celebration banquet. up!

He believed that other companies had the same idea as him before, but now, I am afraid that this celebration will become a Hollywood reception that everyone is chasing after.

Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, under a piece of golden light, Andy quickly climbed up the hanging ladder, walked into his sky palace, and waited for takeoff to fly to Los Angeles.

"...Okay, let's stop talking, the plane is about to take off, and I'll be there in an hour and a half, hehe, as long as it's made by you, it's delicious. To be honest, I want to eat you more...hehe, okay Yes, hang up."

The corners of Andy's mouth raised, he hung up the phone, turned off his mobile phone, fastened his seat belt, and waited for takeoff.

Originally, he was planning to deal with work in San Francisco, and he flew to Los Angeles the next day, but after receiving a text message from Gal Gadot, he felt as if he was scratched by a cat's paw, and he couldn't suppress his love for Wonder Woman snail. Missing him, he put the plane on standby without hesitation and rushed to the airport.

While happily coaxing the BGM of "isshe with you?"

Snapped!

Andy unbuckled his seat belt, walked through the high-end carpeted corridor, and came to his oversized transparent bathtub. He reached out and pressed the button, and the bottom of the bathtub turned into an image of San Francisco with a lot of traffic and flashing lights overlooking it from a high altitude.

"Bang! Wow--haha, Nima, I'm so excited..."

After taking off his clothes and jumping into the bathtub, Andy felt the excitement of falling directly from a high altitude, and his heart jumped suddenly, but after his feet fell, the feeling of stepping on the whole city under his feet made him laugh happily.

The succession of good news made Andy feel extremely happy at this time, and a feeling of omnipotence emerged spontaneously, well, it was a little swollen!

"Handsome appearance, untold wealth, talent and fame, and she can sleep with Hollywood female stars at any time. Tsk tsk, I can be regarded as having the limit that a man can have, haha..."
