Big stars who came out of football

Chapter 50 50: Spielberg's Little 99
In fact, Brad Gray was really unwilling to go into this muddy water after he learned of the accident on the crew of "Transformers". Although he also voted in favor of the acquisition of DreamWorks at the shareholder meeting, but At that time, Shirley Lansing controlled Paramount single-handedly. As the second in command of Paramount's external successor, I really didn't want to offend this highly respected woman in Hollywood.

Although he is also a filmmaker, he is not as confident as Shirley Lansing.

And what Spielberg said to him in private is: "Transformers is Shirley's final work. If you don't want her to dig some holes for you when she leaves, I suggest you come here in person." A trip to England, and this matter is not very troublesome to you who came from the Viacom group!"

Two days have passed since the [Manchester Preparatory Fund Robbery] case. Brad Gray also admires the British government's ability to control the media, but Spielberg, who came to pick up the plane, heard Brad Gray. After Gray's hypocritical praise, he immediately dismissed it and said, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's main overseas ticket holder was Britain!"

When Brad Gray heard that Spielberg was going to talk about the movie [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] with him, he immediately acted like a monkey whose butt was burned and replied without hesitation: "10 billion The reason for the box office, I think you know better than me."

"At the beginning, Nestle's interests in the UK were attacked by a group of media, saying that candy is not conducive to children's growth, which caused Nestle's candy revenue to decline in the first quarter. It is impossible for me to get the support of Viacom Group!"

Seeing that his future leader was anxious, Spielberg first opened the door of the car for him with a compliment and let him get in the car. When the two sat in the car, Spielberg went directly from the locker of the car. He took out a portable DV from his pocket: "Look, I've said it all, if this thing is handled well, it's a good thing!"

Spielberg tidied up his suit and glanced triumphantly at Brad Gray, who was sitting next to him, carefully watching the DV player.

Spielberg is an extremely patient and ambitious man.

Everyone in the outside world was surprised that he would commit himself to the Paramount Group, but he knew his own hardships. After all, soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. Who wouldn’t want to bring their company to stand at the top of Hollywood? See the scenery below.

In the early years, DreamWorks made a lot of money and gained a huge reputation through its animation studio. It relied on its cooperation with Michael Bay and Hollywood gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer. This time gave Hollywood the title of "Nine Bigs", and of course the Nine Bigs are DreamWorks.

Originally, everything was still developing smoothly, but how could the eight major groups that had controlled Hollywood for 20 years allow another large group to join the top eight Hollywood groups?

And Spielberg also discovered the flaw of DreamWorks in this process, that is, DreamWorks has no distribution channels.

In order to have his own distribution channel, Spielberg also had to play a set of Chinese 36 tricks [Survival and Taste the Bravery]. Spielberg knew about the personnel changes of Paramount Group long before it was acquired.

If Shirley Lansing continues to be in charge of Paramount, Spielberg will definitely not join here, but if Brad Gray is replaced, it is uncertain, because Brad Gray is a TV series As a producer, Spielberg has a relatively good understanding of Paramount's development in the next two years. If his guess is correct, after Brad Gray takes over, he will definitely put the focus within the group on television.

If this situation can happen, it may not be impossible for DreamWorks to take advantage of it.

Regarding the accident that occurred in the re-shooting of "Transformers" in the UK, he was actually very surprised at the beginning. After all, he has been making movies for almost a lifetime. It was the first time he had seen it, let alone a Jason Statham "Bank Robbery" that had just been released in the UK.

At first, his view on this matter was relatively simple, as a general public relations crisis should be resolved, but as he got to know this matter more and more, Spielberg really discovered an interesting thing.

Because he found out that his good friend, former Universal Group president Edgar Bronfman Jr.'s artists were actually involved.

And if it weren't for this person's participation, the Transformers movie might not have entered the UK box office market. As Shia LaBeouf explained everything that happened on the scene, Spielberg also realized The value in this matter, because if this matter is handled well~
Transformers will definitely get a lot of box office in Europe. Not only that, Shia LaBeouf can also set up a tough guy in this matter. If the operation is good, Transformers 2 will definitely get a wave when it is filmed. topic.

As for the artist Claire Lee of the old man, he must be the biggest beneficiary of this matter. As for what Claire can get.

After watching the pictures in the DV, Brad Gray said with regret: "What a good kid, why do you think he played football? If he was in my hands, I would definitely die in a year." Made him popular!"

"You? Come on? You don't have much time to relax like now!"

Brad Gray took a look at the streets of Manchester where there are police everywhere, and occasionally there will be police stopping cars and setting up checkpoints in busy places. Brad Gray took a look at Spielberg and asked: "This is Claire. Li's people are from Warner Records?"

"Yes, I plan to invite him to sing the theme song of Transformers! Anti-war theme, I discussed it with little Edgar. If Claire doesn't have a song by then, we will take the initiative to accept a song for him to sing. "

"The cry of the hero in the last days? Very good, is little Edgar the former president of Universal?" Brad Gray nodded in satisfaction when he heard Spielberg's plan, but when Brad Gray heard his After mentioning the name of a familiar person, he couldn't help muttering.

"The production cost of 1 million US dollars, if it can break through 5 billion US dollars, it will be perfect!"

When Brad Gray heard Spielberg's expectations for "Transformers", he couldn't help but have some expectations. If the box office of this movie can really break through to 10 billion US dollars, after he takes office, the group's finances may be uncertain. Can be more generous!
