Producer [American Entertainment]

In fact, William didn't expect that the FBI would be so powerful and caught "Bonebreaker" just in the first week after the movie was released.

Blood Red, whose story revolves around a perverted murderer, naturally took advantage of the situation and ruthlessly followed suit.There is no need for the crew to do anything, just write a few comments similar to "I just watched a similar horror movie recently" under the relevant news reports on the Internet, and everything will work.

Wendy and MiG can take care of this kind of trivial matter in their spare time.

Although William also felt that it was wrong to say so, the power to follow suit was really strong. The craze for "Bonebreaker" was directly reflected in the blood-red box office.In the first week, it not only made a profit, but also barely squeezed into the top five of the weekly box office.Although it's just a tail hanging, it's already very conspicuous.

"If we keep working hard, we will definitely become a box office legend!" Wendy is always positive and warm, just like a little sun.

"No matter what, every penny in the future is earned for nothing." MiG is still so conservative, because he is afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.In this mini group, MiG felt that he was obliged to keep his senses and neutralize the thermal energy of the little sun Wendy, so that William could get a fair view of things by hearing two different voices.

However, in fact, Wendy is not the only one who is optimistic about blood red.

A low-budget movie with a total investment of only 30 yuan has nearly ten times the box office. Who wouldn't like it?Some producers and investors have approached director Armand, hoping that he can direct a new film, of course, it is also a low-cost production.

Armand was very happy, and shared the good news with William immediately, and he felt that they were also friends.

Armand also brought true?The news about the producer George, although basically not helpful to the film, it is said that the negotiation between George and another giant film company has officially entered the honeymoon period because of the blood red.

"It's completely naked! It's too much!" Since Wendy became a fan of William, her three views have been declining all the way, reaching the wonderful state of "only William is right".It’s okay to be stained with blood red in “Bonebreaker”; if the producer George is stained with blood red, then it’s not allowed!

Sabatino also comforted his cousin on the phone: "George will not get better, trust me."

"...Uh, actually I'm not angry." William thought so from the bottom of his heart.The movie itself is a good business for everyone. If some people eat meat, others should naturally be allowed to drink soup.Mainly, "George isn't really unhelpful to the movie, either."

To put it bluntly, George Ken took the initiative to hand over the rights of the crew to William, which is a help to the film.

"Didn't you tell me before that a good producer is to put the right people in the right place." Although George is not a well-known big producer, it is obvious that he also has his own wisdom. For example, William's name ended up in the producer's column. If George really wanted to cause trouble for William, he would become a lot of trouble.But he finally chose to acquiesce, which is a kind of kindness.

"You're right." My cousin said on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the cousin turned his face away, and gave the special assistant a worried order: "Strengthen the relationship with Wendy and MiG, and let them take care of William. His old habit of thinking that everyone in the world is good is back."

No one can deny that the Edward-Marie couple were good parents, but at the same time no one can deny that they taught William too naively.This is very problematic!

Mr. Special Assistant looked at Sabatino, didn't say anything, just slandered, I think your attitude towards William is also very problematic.

The high-level executives in MGM who have their own thoughts also expressed their congratulations when they met William in the company. Those who did not meet William by chance would deliberately "encounter" him.

Old Samuel was the most down-to-earth among them. He went directly to William's office ("It's so fucking big", Samuel said with emotion about William's office), and encouraged him in various ways: "This is the first movie you participated in. , it will get better and better in the future.”

As a rich generation with several troublesome rich second generations in his family, Samuel thinks he understands people like William very well.Even though William was already much better than his sons, Samuel was still afraid, afraid that William would dislike that the dividends from the movie were not enough for him to buy a suit of clothes, and that William would give up his pick.

The cost of blood red is really low, not to mention ten times, twenty times, the money that William can get is actually not much.

As for William himself, he is more diligent in changing a luxury car than a suit at work every day. He has never spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in his outfit, and he grew up in a world where he has no sense of money.

Uh, at least, Samir's impression of William is this.

It happened to be this young master, the current "godfather" to MGM, Sabatino.Lexenbra, has a profound influence.It is not terrible that William quits, but what is terrible is that his cousin also quits.MGM can no longer stand the toss.Therefore, the more you know Brother William, the kinder Samuel will be towards William. It can be said that he has tried his best to ensure that William can stay happy and comfortable at MGM.

After the routine encouragement session, Samuel Sr. and his secretary Greta lit up the gossip soul, maybe that was their purpose.

——How exactly did William get the movie released within a week before the arrest of "Bonebreaker"?

If ordinary people say that this is just a coincidence, everyone will believe it, but William is obviously not an ordinary person, at least his grandfather and cousin are not.Don't say that you can't use public tools for private use. In the circle of Hollywood where "you don't need bastards if you have connections", they judge others by themselves. They don't believe that William will put away great resources and not use them.

William sighed for the one hundred and eighth time.

He explained this problem to Wheeler not long ago: "Our family really doesn't have enough energy to influence the progress of the FBI's case-solving."

His grandfather and the FBI are natural enemies, okay?The old man is still on the top ten of the FBI's key monitoring list and has not been removed.God knows why, it was just a date that Sabatino randomly pointed out, but he picked up such a good thing that fell from the sky.

"The fate of newcomers is really terrible," Wheeler accepted William's words, and found a reason for him and Sabatino. The older people become, the more superstitious they become, especially in the Hollywood circle. "I hope you can also use this buff Blessings to our new movie."

"...I didn't know you still play computer games." Buff is a term that has only recently emerged in the online game circle, and it means a gain state.

"Keep up with the times, kid." No matter how old he is, Mr. Wheeler will always live like that.

Old Samuel could not accept William's rhetoric.He gave an expression of "No matter what you say, I won't believe it anyway".

Intellectually, Samuel also knew that William's grandfather did not match the FBI major.But being unable to influence the FBI's handling of the case does not mean that some rumors cannot be heard in advance.William obviously heard something, otherwise how could the timing be so accurate?If it is later, maybe due to political issues, the movie will not be able to be released in a short time.

"I was sick at the time," William said helplessly, "I didn't set the release time, it was Saba."

"The case has been solved." Samuel became more convinced of his thoughts.

People subconsciously deify people who know too much more than themselves, and think terrible.In Samuel's eyes, Sabatino is such an existence, omniscient and omnipotent.

"Unless he can predict the future." William mocked.

"It's a good thing, really," said Samuel, not bothering William's little attitude issue at all. "You're too young to understand that in this business, connections are a huge part of success. You probably never will." You'll know how lucky you are."

"Trust me, I know."

Waking up from the car accident and seeing Sabatino sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, William should have known it.Although it's only now that I wake up, it's a bit late, but luckily I didn't miss such a good family because of a misunderstanding.

"Such a good family" has been a little depressed recently, because after so many days of not doing business, he has to go back to the Microsoft headquarters in Silicon Valley to deal with the accumulated affairs, and he is not happy at all.

"Oh, my dear friend, you can't leave a bunch of genius ideas behind and leave without commenting. You can't be so cruel to me and the company."

I can.

...Although Sabatino really wanted to say this, he finally endured it and flew to Silicon Valley with Mr. Special Assistant to make a quick decision. If a report was revised three times and failed, his expression would be horrified As if from hell: "Waste my time any more, and you'll go home and eat yourself!"

Chapter 27 No.20 Seven Days to Earth: What kind of invitation will enclose Lorimas?

"The higher-ups say that blood red is the biggest test for William, but God knows, that's not testing him, it's testing my heart's endurance!"

Samuel was pacing up and down the office at this time, complaining to his secretary, Greta, who was also silver-haired.

Just a few days after the blood-red box office rose, it was hit by the "Chicago Sun".

The "Chicago Sun" has nothing to do with the "Sun" in the UK, but they are similar in nature. They are both street tabloids that don't give people a good impression, but sell a lot on newsstands.Its biggest feature is sensationalism, often concocting some fictitious scandals in the entertainment industry, using sensational headlines and vulgar pictures to gain attention.

But ordinary people who have nothing to do still eat this way!The newspapers write and write casually, they read casually, and no one takes it seriously, only the person involved is inexplicably mentally attacked.

On such a big issue as "Bonebreaker", the "Chicago Sun-Times" is naturally unwilling to lag behind.

However, they decided not to take the usual path, and interpreted a "new angle" on this matter in the newspaper. It was a rare "serious" time, and criticized the following behaviors in the market, even if they themselves belonged to the Follow suit.

"Blood Red Splashing White Gauze", which has just gained momentum recently, was inexplicably hung on the wall by the "Chicago Sun".

It's not too late to follow the trend, the newspaper reporter dug up a gossip from someone who claimed that the blood red despicability is not only following the trend, but also conspiring to play power!

"According to a related person, the grading committee's grading of blood red is actually very controversial. This newspaper has no opinion, but just wants to help everyone think about a question. Why do the parents in the grading committee obviously disagree? In that case, a thriller—notably, this one from MGM, which has a very high status on the MPAA committee—eventually got a PG-13 rating.”

The tone of the report was as if he had a grudge against Blood Red in his previous life.

When Samuel saw this, he really couldn't stand it anymore.Unbearable, there is no need to bear it anymore, with a "snap", Samuel directly threw the newspaper on the table, angrily said: "Is this still called having no point? He almost pointed at my nose and said that MGM is involved in illegal activities. It's done!"

God knows, how could Samuel have a relationship with Hugo, the current CEO of MGM?He can't even speak at the MPAA.Samuel felt a little wronged, he was looking for United Artists, Warner and Paramount! (cough.)

Don't take this blame, uncle, we won't take it back!

Fortunately, although ordinary people like to watch the excitement, they will not be so brainless as to take a tabloid that has always been fabricated and fabricated seriously. This is the only place Samuel can comfort himself.

As for the blood red that was affected, William, the person involved, was not moved at all: "Is this the only newspaper?"

"How many more do you want to have? Parents are angered, children can't enter the theater, who will support the box office?" Samuel also read AC Nielsen's analysis, and the blood red audience is mainly teenagers in adolescence. No one can lose these gods.

"Don't worry, we have arrangements here." William was still so calm and calm.

Samuel really couldn't understand where William's confidence came from, and what annoyed Samuel the most was why he was so anxious to hang himself that even the client was not in a hurry.

"I sincerely suggest that you don't read the entertainment pages of today's "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times." Secretary Greta said.

"God, stop torturing me and just tell me what happened!"

"They reprinted the report of the "Chicago Sun-Times", using the blood-red rating as a ladder, bringing up the old story again, and discussing the various injustices of the rating committee." The films of big companies can easily get the public and guidance ratings, independent films But they are often stuck at the restricted level. It is not a day or two that the classification committee members are scolded for this matter.

The major newspapers dare not take the truth?If the giant has a knife, he can only bully and bully the declining MGM, but at least he bears the name of a giant.

When MGM was lying on the ground again and the internal employees were panicking, the employees of Microsoft's Silicon Valley headquarters were also living in a miserable state, because their big boss was not in a good mood.

Even the No.1 Mr. Special Assistant next to the big boss has been shrinking his neck these days.

At the lunch table, the special assistant always sits with other high-level special assistants, eating, chatting, and scolding the boss.The topic of today's discussion is, why is the big boss so angry recently? Is menopause early?

"I really don't know how you managed to survive under that man for so many years." Someone said.

Mr. Special Assistant pushed his glasses, and said solemnly: "For money."

Amidst the laughter, the topic was left alone.Mr. Special Assistant cleverly changed the topic, and after lunch secretly sold the people at the table and the boss behind them without hesitation.Just like the other special assistants will do.

This is office fighting, and if you don't know exactly who your allegiance is, then you're not far from getting fucked.Scold the boss together and share a common hatred?It's just that he wants to help his boss analyze the information he really wants from the other party's gaffes.Good Mr. Assistant, he helped Sabatino solve the biggest problem recently, who is secretly obstructing Microsoft's skype development plan.

Through the instant messaging of skype, Microsoft has gradually established its own authoritative news channel. Obviously, Microsoft's ambition will not be limited to this, and skype news is just the beginning.

Some people see the development space of skype, and want to stop it from continuing to develop because of the competition of interests of one kind or another; In this situation, Sabatino has a different response strategy.

Mr. Special Assistant "did not work hard" and finally gave Sabatino a satisfactory answer.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Sabatino is ruthless, mysterious and elusive.But in the eyes of Mr. Special Assistant, Sabatino is definitely the best boss to serve in the world, not one of them.

Because as long as you work hard, there will be corresponding rewards.It's that simple.

But it is such a simple thing that many bosses still can't do it, at least not well.Humans have feelings, likes and dislikes, and preferences, and preferences are the source of all injustice.

Well, Mr. Special Assistant paused, not to say that Sabatino is like a robot, without his own preferences.In fact, Sabatino was on the phone with his "preference" at this time-

"Recently? Microsoft is still the same as in the past. There are no major troubles, but there are many trivial matters." Sabatino, who was speaking to the phone, had an unbelievably gentle expression. "What about you? Is the promotion of the movie going well?"

"Big success!" William was delighted.He was resting at home at this time, lying in bed chatting endlessly with Sabatino.William found that he and his cousin always seemed to have endless things to say, even if it was just a little thing, they began to feel eager to share with them, "The movie became a hit because of the trend, and then it was just like our publicity plan. The same, it was counterattacked."

As a low-budget movie, Blood Red shouldn't have attracted so much attention, but William pulled a lot of hatred, so... Although William still doesn't know who is going to deal with him, or why he is going to deal with him.

But none of this affected William's ability to turn his disadvantages into advantages.

That is to say, the plan that Sabatino evaluated as a "sword of slant" at the beginning, the parents blocked it, and the children would definitely watch it.

William and Sabatino had some small disputes about how to get parents to stop them. Sabatino felt that directly asking film critics to write a few negative news articles could spark discussions.But William didn't want to spend this unjustified money. There were obviously better channels around him.

Spy Secretary Jiye.

Sure enough, Jiye became a "relevant person" for a while, and eagerly sold the graded stories that MiG had deliberately missed to him, and sold them to major newspapers.

"It didn't cost us a penny. The people behind Ji Ye gave free publicity for the blood red country, and published it in the three major newspapers." Is there anything more exciting than this?My enemies pay for my propaganda.

#William has a special skill of using the spies around him#

Sabatino's focus is a bit crooked: "When you decide to become a producer yourself, I will invest in you. If there is no upper limit, it will be treated as I owe you 18 years of pocket money."

For such a little publicity fee, let's see how hard my cousin has been pushed!

"...I didn't mean that." William told his cousin again.

"Yeah, then you speak slowly, and I will understand." My cousin's cooperative attitude is always very good.

After the daily chat, Sabatino finally turned to Mr. Special Assistant, praised the high-level list he compiled for obstructing the Skype plan, and gave material rewards.

——This is why I am loyal. Even if Sabatino has a preference, he will never lose to others.In the end, it's all about the money.Mr. Special Assistant thinks so.

Throughout late March, Blood Red was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, ups and downs, twists and turns, and finally stabilized as a dark horse.

The box office rose instead of falling, and the counterattack became the third runner-up of the monthly box office in March, which fell below the glasses of everyone.

"This is the rhythm of becoming popular overnight!" Director Armand trembled a little.A new director, a new actor, a new cameraman, a new producer, plus a low-cost investment of 30 yuan, they can get to this point, they saved the earth in their previous life, right? !

"Don't get excited." William's tone was calm.

With the analysis spoiler of 2B250, William really doesn't like the current box office, which is where it is.Their goal is to step into the door of the ten million club.

In the piece of good news that was rising steadily, he was always committed to the fate of being unable to live with William, and his sense of existence was angered.

It taught William what is called "Lifeisabitchuntilyoudie".

A black invitation from New York was delivered to William's solid wood desk, guaranteed to be the first thing he saw when he entered the office in the morning.

The funeral invitation, with white letters on a black background and sealed with the pattern of the Bernstein family crest and the godfather's ring, was delivered with a handful of fresh Lorimas.

White roses, memorial of death.

The author has something to say:

*Lifeisabitchuntilyoudie, from the American drama "Veronica Mars" I used to like very much, it probably means that life is a bitch, and you can't get rid of it until you die.
