Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Scarlett nodded, not quite understanding. She was only 19 years old now, a little girl, and didn't understand many things. Lin Hao didn't want to talk to her too much.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your things during this period." Lin Hao hugged Scarlett and said.

After hearing Lin Hao's words, Scarlett really stopped thinking about the bug and talked about what happened during the time when Lin Hao was gone.

"I'm a big star now. When I walk on the street, many people want my autograph. The company is planning to plan a concert for me." Scarlett said happily.

"Really? So amazing?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

"Of course, I don't know who I am." Scarlett said proudly.

At this time, Black Widow was only 19 years old. Her voice was not as hoarse as in later generations due to smoking. It was still very crisp and had a good voice. In addition, Universal Music focused on training and building her, so it was normal for her to be popular.

"I also starred in "Van Helsing". The movie invested 160 million US dollars. I played the heroine Anna, a female hunter. The movie tells the story of vampires." Scarlett said, opening her mouth and biting Lin Hao's neck.

But this bite was not very strong. She also stretched out her tongue and licked Lin Hao's neck, making Lin Hao itchy.

"After this movie is broadcast, I will be a big star in Hollywood, hehe." Scarlett said while lying on Lin Hao.

Hearing Scarlett's words, Lin Hao didn't know if she could become a big star, but this movie made Universal Pictures lose a lot of money. It invested 160 million US dollars, but the global box office was only 300 million US dollars. It can be said that it lost a lot of money, which was only slightly better than "The Hulk".

The production cost of the movie "The Hulk" was 137 million US dollars, and its global box office was only about 245 million US dollars. Usually, the final box office of a movie must be at least 3 times the cost to make a profit, because it is also necessary to consider factors such as publicity and distribution costs and the share of all parties.

These two movies can be said to have cost Universal Pictures a lot of money, which is why Universal Pictures is relatively well-off, and it didn't suffer any serious damage. Many Hollywood companies went bankrupt because of failed movie investments.

As the company's CEO, Menier must be held responsible for the failure of two consecutive movies. He can be dismissed. Although Lin Hao acquired Universal Pictures to increase his influence, he can't always lose money.

If a movie fails, it may be a matter of luck. If several movies fail in succession, it is still a major loss, then it is a matter of ability and vision.

Lin Hao just remembered it when he heard Scarlett talk about "Van Helsing". To be honest, this movie is still okay, especially the erotic shots of the vampire bride in the play left a deep impression on people.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao asked Scarlett: "Is the movie finished?"

"It's finished. It took 5 months to shoot. It just ended and entered post-production. What's wrong?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"If there's nothing, just ask." Lin Hao heard Scarlett's words. He should be able to make up for what he just said, although it may be useless.

There are many reasons for the failure of "Van Helsing" at the box office. First of all, from the perspective of the plot, the plot arrangement of the film is not compact enough, which makes it difficult for the audience to get involved. In addition, the development of the plot lacks coherence, which makes the whole story seem a bit confusing and difficult for the audience to understand.

Secondly, the audience has become aesthetically fatigued with monster themes such as vampires and werewolves, especially in the early 2000s, when such themes were very popular and the market saturation was high. However, "Van Helsing" did not provide enough novel elements to attract the audience, so it was difficult to stand out among many similar movies.

Furthermore, compared with other blockbusters released at the same time, the publicity and promotion of "Van Helsing" was relatively small. This will undoubtedly reduce its popularity and attention among the public, thereby affecting the number of viewers.

Finally, although the monster image designed by the special effects company meets the needs of the plot, it may be too scary and hideous, and not suitable for a wider audience. These factors combined led to the poor box office performance of "Van Helsing".

Now the film has been finished, and the plot is difficult to modify. We can't reshoot it, and the subject matter is not available. We can only strengthen publicity and promotion, and increase the exposure of the film through various channels. After all, 160 million US dollars have been spent, and the publicity cannot be weak. There is also the special effects.

The special effects in this area need to be changed and made a little more harmonious, so that more people can go to the cinema to watch it. There are also elements such as vampires, werewolves, and androids. They are outdated in the West, but they are very attractive in Europe and the United States, especially in Asia.

Lin Hao watched it at the timeWhen I watched this movie, I felt that the scenes of vampire transformation were a bit scary and hideous, which would make many people uncomfortable. In addition, there were too many naked scenes, which led to many regions not passing the review and the ratings also suffered.

This movie was not released in mainland China due to the taboos of gods and monsters and restrictions on the subject matter, but now it is different. Lin Hao has reached an agreement with the official. This movie should be able to be released in China after some changes, after all, "Underworld" has been released.

This matter must be mentioned when I go to Universal Pictures tomorrow. In Lin Hao's heart, Universal Pictures is very important. For this reason, Lin Hao has collected a lot of movie copyrights in the future.

"Then I'll wait for you to become a big star in Hollywood." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Scarlett was a little embarrassed by what Lin Hao said. All this was because of Lin Hao. Thinking of this, she hugged Lin Hao with both hands and gave him a kiss. Lin Hao hugged Scarlett and came to the French window of the bedroom.

From here, you can overlook the front of the entire manor. The two of them were communicating in front of the French window.

.....

When the two were communicating deeply, the whole manor was in a state of tension. There were 102 bodyguards headed by Joseph and Chen Weilong. Two of them were protecting Lin Hao, and the other 10, with the help of Michael, launched a comprehensive investigation of the entire manor. They not only conducted a detailed inspection of each room and venue, but also checked the staff in the manor one by one.

That night, the whole manor was brightly lit and everyone was busy. Lin Hao himself was not idle either. He lifted Scarlett's legs in front of the French window. After working hard all night, he finally fell asleep with Scarlett in his arms.

The next morning, Lin Hao woke up early. Scarlett was still sleeping. He got up gently, fearing that he would wake her up. Then he went straight to the living room after washing up. At this time, Joseph, Chen Weilong and Michael were already sitting in the living room. The three of them had not slept all night.

After Lin Hao sat down, he asked the three people, "What's the situation? Have you found anything?"
