American Fortune Life

"Sit down, what to drink, tell Tori."

At the end of the meeting, Andy returned to the office with the president of Universal Pictures, Adam Ferguson, and the new CEO, Robert Frey.

Andy opened the folder in his hand and put it away in the drawer. He sat on the spacious boss chair like a sofa, took a sip of the coffee on the desk, and said to the two people sitting opposite.

"The merger must be carried out in an orderly manner, and neither side should affect the normal operations of all aspects.

Weinstein Films will merge with Focus Features, and the merged Focus Features will be run by Carl. I want it to become Hollywood's new Miramax, an independent production company, responsible for distributing more artistic or less popular niches Movie.

It's the awards season, and both the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globe Awards have received quite a few nominations, and the Oscars should be fine. Carl is in charge of public relations. If possible, you should give him some help. "

The signboard of Weinstein Films is already a bit stinky. In order to reduce the impact, Andy had to change his shell. Fortunately, although Focus Pictures has not released any works recently, it is quite famous. Of course, it must not catch up with Weinstein. The influence of Ernstein Films.

However, it is also necessary to give Carl a base camp as a fulcrum, so that he can better be the gatekeeper of this Hollywood dream, leverage and integrate more resources, and establish a solid network of relationships.

"Okay, boss."

After hearing Andy's order, the two looked at each other, and then nodded. People who are well-informed in Hollywood know that Fat Carl is the new Hollywood pusher after Fat Harvey, a gold medal producer, and the queen of movie stars. machine.

Although that guy Harvey was knocked down, no one in Hollywood can deny his various abilities in the film industry and his help to some people. As for whether Karl can really replace him, many people are holding a wait-and-see attitude. Of course, the ridicule behind his back is also inevitable.

As for why **oss is interested in award PR, hehe, everyone understands.

It's not that once Harvey falls, Hollywood becomes clean. In Hollywood, there are too many, of all kinds, to suppress sex with power. When you remove a rock, the dirt you see is only the size of that rock. . .

"I'm going to sell the rights to Universal Pictures to make it a new series for Universal, by the way, what's the news about Tom Cruise?"

Andy put down his coffee cup, thinking of the very profitable Tom Cruise-led series that is now being blocked by Paramount.

Although Tom Cruise was discredited 24 hours a day by Paramount boss Samner Reeds using his media empire, and eventually became a man who was deeply poisoned by Scientology and occasionally behaved mentally abnormal. Like a vampire, bad-tempered, greedy and cunning, a bastard who likes to manipulate everything.

And a lot of the content is true, but he has to admit the money-making ability of his series.

Leaving the shelter of the Hollywood Big Six can be a fatal blow to any star whose career is going downhill.

Andy has never been in contact with Tom Cruise. He got information from Nicole Kidman, the big Australian sheep, and also knows some real situations about this guy. However, these are not problems, as long as it can make him money, it is not anyway Go deal with Tom Cruise yourself.

"The filming plan was shelved, and Tom Cruise accepted the olive branch from MGM, but MGM couldn't protect itself at all, so there was no extra money for him to burn.

In addition, he has offended too many people, and no one will offend Sumner Reedus for him. Although there will be no scenes to film, the downhill road is very steady. "

Hearing Adam Ferguson's obviously mocking words to Tom Cruise, Andy and Robert Frey both smiled slightly.

"Mission Impossible 3, with a global box office of 390 million US dollars, seems to be a big hit, of which the production cost plus publicity costs are as high as 250 million, half of the box office goes to the cinema, and the rest plus DVD sales, Tom Cruise will take it 25 percent.

Paramount has been busy for a few years, with a profit of only 800,000 yuan, but he is sitting on nearly 100 million yuan. Paramount originally negotiated with him for a salary cut, but he lost his nerve in the media, and anyone would fire him. To be honest, I feel the same This guy has something wrong here. "

Robert Frey said, pointing his finger at his head with a sneer. Almost everyone can’t forget that he was like a fool, because he was excited about his new relationship and “jumped on the sofa” on Oprah’s talk show, talking about Scientology, doubting The move to psychiatric medication.

"For Cruise, who had a difficult childhood experience and had no formal education, it may be his instinct to grasp all the upward ladders, and it is precisely because of his lack of reading that he was ganged up to fool him. Silly.

However, it doesn't matter what kind of person he is, as long as he can make us money, find someone to offer him an olive branch, as long as he is willing to give up the profit, we will cooperate with him in filming.

Hehe, I hope he is still a little sensible, and offend Paramount and Universal at the same time, then not only cbs will black him, nbc will also teach him to be a man! "

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and he smiled slightly, but what he said made the two subordinates on the opposite side look at each other.

The daylight hours in winter are getting shorter and shorter, and buildings cast long shadows in the setting sun. The lights on the ground gradually brightened and merged with the sky.

Andy sat in the warm car, looking through the window at the desolate streets of Manhattan, perhaps because of the cold weather.

buzz

After recovering from the air, he took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and seeing the display, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"Emily, you really make me helpless, don't you want to see me that much?" Andy adjusted his sitting posture, raised his legs, and said with a slightly frivolous tone.

"...You know I'm busy, forget it, you're just pretending not to know, it's useless if I say it.

I called to tell you that the 100 people in the Tianchao home buying group all returned with full load, and a total of 130 villas and apartments were sold. Your strategy is very successful, especially the environment concentrated in one block, which has attracted Tianchao customers. I'm very happy, at least they don't have to worry about language barriers and various customs and habits. "

Hearing Li Xiaoying's report, Andy couldn't help laughing proudly. The real estate bubble in the United States is indeed bursting, but it doesn't mean that all the houses are at the price of cabbages. Some houses are sold for one dollar and no one wants them because of the security of the neighborhood. is the most important.

Homeless episodes, gangsters are raging, robbers come across when you go out, law and order are chaotic, and the neighborhoods that the police don't care about, don't dare to live in freebies!

What Andy's real estate company does is to integrate and coordinate real estate resources, and then cooperate with the police station to clean up the security of the neighborhoods where the real estate is concentrated, and hire police officers to patrol.

This is not a power-for-money transaction. In some wealthy areas in the United States, the owners’ committees formed by owners will hire police officers who are not at work to patrol their communities, just to ensure law and order.

If any local tyrant wants to organize some activities, he can also ask the police to maintain law and order. You can even invite the police to be security guards in your store, and all of this is clearly marked. Generally speaking, the most common police officer is 30 US dollars an hour, and some senior police officers can reach 40 US dollars. And it's completely aboveboard, you can directly contact the local police station, and they will make unified arrangements.

"You don't have to sit in the town in person, they are all ready to meet the house buyer group, I don't know how many times they have rehearsed... Well, let's not talk about this, you can fly to New York tomorrow, but this time, the super rich of the Celestial Dynasty The home buying group has indeed attracted widespread media attention and heated discussions, and I believe that companies will follow suit soon.”

Because in the first three days after arriving in the United States, these 100 people bought 70 or 80 houses in the form of sweeping goods, which shocked the American media, although some American media exclaimed, "People from the Chinese dynasty have come to buy houses!" Said that "overseas home buying is difficult to achieve", but the home buying group organized by Andy's company was welcomed by the US real estate industry. A series of hot debates have been triggered in China, and some experts jumped out and said that they are still cautious about it.

However, no matter how heated the media is, the houses in Andy's hands that should have been auctioned by the bank at a low price were all sold through real estate transactions. Earn less.
