Resource Tycoon Reborn

On Friday, June 13, fans of Fang and Cameron all over the world are eagerly awaiting the premiere of "Terminator 3" at 8 pm at the Universal Cinema in Hollywood.

After many years, the screenwriter, director, starring actors and main original cast members reunited to film a sequel, which is also rare in the history of Hollywood movies.

What's more, in the new movie, Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor, Edward Furlong, who played the boyhood John, and Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000 in "Terminator 2", also star

His original role in "Terminator 2".

In order to convince Linda Hamilton to play this role, Fang Mingyuan had to spend a lot of time talking. After breaking up with Cameron, she was originally unwilling to cooperate with him again.

Edward Furlong, on the other hand, was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for forced detoxification, and signed a contract stating that if he took drugs during the filming, he would face sky-high compensation, and he was accompanied by someone throughout the entire filming process.

He was allowed to join the crew. During the filming of the movie, except when he was having sex with his girlfriend, he was accompanied by someone when taking a bath and going to the toilet. And her girlfriend also knew that during the filming, Edward Furlong took any drugs.

His behavior and the compensation demands he faced were enough to make him spend the rest of his life paying off his debts, and he also kept a close eye on Edward Furlong.

Of course, Edward Furlong also understands that starring in "Terminator 3" is a rare opportunity for him, who has not been successful in his stardom since "Terminator 2", as long as he can make a comeback in "Terminator 3"

With a good performance, his future is bright. He may even jump into the ranks of Hollywood's first-line or even top male stars! If he is kicked out of the crew because of drug abuse, he is irresponsible for his own life. So.

During the entire filming period, although he suffered several times, he still endured it.

As for Robert Patrick, since his subsequent acting career was not smooth and he did not have any bad habits, when he was invited, it was the smoothest one.

Uda Mitsuri plays two roles in this film. One is the girlfriend and future wife of young John - the daughter of the character she played in "Terminator 2". The other is a second-person spy sent back by Skynet.

In 2004, Earth's new robot T-3000, after two failed attempts to strangle John in the cradle, Skynet decided to use more covert means to get close to John. In order to seek a one-shot kill - after all, obtain

The photo of John's wife is not difficult for it.

From three or four o'clock in the afternoon, crowds began to gather outside the Universal Cinema. By around seven o'clock in the evening, there was already a huge crowd outside the Universal Cinema. Movie fans from the United States and all over the world had already gathered.

The place was crowded, except for the passage for movie stars to step onto the red carpet. Hundreds of media reporters had already set up their "guns and cannons" waiting for the stars to arrive.

The first people to arrive at the cinema were the senior executives of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Jade Bird Film Group. This time, Fang Bin attended in person as the vice president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. This made people who were originally looking forward to seeing "Fang"

The media reporters who saw the true face of Lushan were greatly disappointed. Next, the crew members of "Terminator 3" came one after another. Linda Hamilton and Mitsuri Uda attracted cheers from a large number of fans. When Cameron and Schwarzenegger

When they walked side by side on the red carpet, the cheers were as loud as thunder!

In the following time, it can be said to be a grand review of Hollywood celebrities. Except for those who really have something to do, or who cannot escape, the well-known movie stars, directors, and company bosses all

appeared here. Even some well-known movie stars from Hong Kong and Mainland China also joined the ranks. Fang Mingyuan also attended the premiere, but he did not walk on the red carpet. After entering the cinema, he did not appear in anything.

A conspicuous position. Instead, he sat in a blind spot where no camera would capture him - Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kingfisher Film Group have informed those who can film or take photos in the cinema that filming is absolutely not allowed in this location.

If someone dares to ignore the warning, the two major companies will join forces to block that person and even the media. Of course. Another advantage of this position is that it is relatively inconspicuous. If Fang Mingyuan does not greet anyone specifically, uninformed people will

He couldn't be found.

Having been in this industry for many years, this is the first time for Fang Mingyuan to attend the premiere of his company's work in the United States. If the mainland and Hong Kong had not just shaken off their status as epidemic areas, "Terminator 3" would have been released at the same time as North America and Europe, and the time would have been too hasty.

He will definitely attend the premiere in Hong Kong.

This time, "Terminator 3" has more than 13,000 screens in nearly 4,000 theaters in North America, and 7,000 screens in nearly 3,000 theaters in Europe. "Terminator 3" will be officially released starting tonight.

3", which also set a new record for the number of screens. Even the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" did not enjoy such treatment.

Before eight o'clock, the cinema was already full of people. Before the premiere officially started, people gathered together casually, forming small groups.

Fang Mingyuan's cell phone rang. Fang Mingyuan glanced at it casually and couldn't help but be a little surprised. The caller was Keijiro Hirai, Vice President of Sony Corporation!

"Fang Jun, I heard that you also attended the premiere of "Terminator 3"? I am also here. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to talk to you in person, Fang Jun. We at Sony have an idea and want to cooperate with you, Fang Jun.

." As soon as the call was connected, Heike Jiro's greetings came.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and told him his location. Not long after, Hiraike Jiro appeared in front of Fang Mingyuan under the guidance of the staff.

"Fang, long time no see!" Hiraike Jiro greeted warmly.

"Yeah, long time no see!" Fang Mingyuan also felt the same way. Since both China and Japan became epidemic areas, he, who used to travel frequently between the two countries, has not set foot on Japanese soil for more than half a year.

Although Heikejiro and others have been in contact by phone, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

The two sat down again. Heike Jiro looked around and found that the entire cinema could be clearly seen from here. However, it was not easy to see clearly from those seats. He couldn't help but laugh.

Fang Mingyuan is still the same as before, he doesn't like to appear in public, otherwise, he should sit on the rostrum now and accept media interviews and everyone's attention. But he just ran to this place where no one can notice. Like him

People are indeed too rare.

"President Heike, is it not easy to come to the United States from Japan?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"It's not easy, it's not easy!" Heike Jiro shook his head repeatedly, "As soon as I got off the plane, I was detained and observed for seven days before I was freed."

Fang Mingyuan nodded calmly. It seems that Sony may have made some big moves in the United States this time. Otherwise, Hira Keijiro, as the vice president, would not have come in person and would have suffered for seven days.

Hirikejiro looked at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Fang Jun, let's be blunt, are you interested in MGM?"

Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly. For a Hollywood person, MGM is naturally very familiar. Regarding the development of the world's film industry, MGM can be said to have made something that the world has noticed.

Its lion logo is well-known for its achievements, and it is also one of the oldest film companies in Hollywood. It shot the classic "Gone with the Wind" in film history, and it owns the copyrights of 007 and "Tom and Jerry".

It has won hundreds of Academy Awards. When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established and launched the Academy Awards, MGM was involved. However, in recent years, MGM's financial situation has been deteriorating.

Especially last year, the war blockbuster "Windtalkers", which MGM invested heavily in, suffered a disastrous box office failure. The company's top executives were forced to resign, and there was news that MGM would be transferred.

Of course Fang Mingyuan knew the current situation of MGM. After all, he was considered a well-known Hollywood figure, and in the past few days since he came to the United States, some people had mentioned this matter, but Fang Mingyuan was not tempted by MGM.

MGM's greatest value today can be said to be the huge film resources it has accumulated over the years, including 007 and "Tom and Jerry". These classic films can meet the needs of cable television organizations and DVD distribution companies. Of course

If you have enough confidence, you can continue to shoot some films, such as the 007 series. However, Fang Mingyuan believes that these resources may not bring much market return to the successors, because as time goes by, more and more

People will choose to download these movies on the Internet and watch them on their computers. However, the laws to ensure that movie companies profit from them are not yet complete.

Moreover, because the ownership of MGM has changed hands many times in history, Ted Turner, one of the bosses of Time Warner, also owns the copyright of a large number of MGM's classic films, which makes MGM's value

Significantly reduced.

What's more, MGM's current debt may exceed US$2 billion!

Could it be that Sony has healed its scars and forgotten the pain, and Columbia Pictures has just made a significant improvement, but it actually has thoughts about MGM again?
