"Thank you for coming, APLUS, Amy..."
Director Blake Eisner was waiting behind the huge stone pillars of the theater. He greeted the two enthusiastically, "I don’t know what happened between you and Michael. His character is always like this. I will show you for him. Apologize…"
Blake could not have heard of the lively Disney Civil War. He first apologized to Song Ya on behalf of his father, and then asked with a smile: "But I don't think this will affect the friendship between us, right?"
"Of course, I admire your artistic style Blake."
The two of them are currently regarded as artists, and Song Ya asked with concern: "How is it? Has the box office forecast data come out?"
"Not very beautiful."
Blake was very nervous about his first commercial blockbuster, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, Director Cameron said the same to me when the Titanic was first released."
Song Ya gave an example and made Blake and his distributor Paramount executives laugh.
"Matthew! Jennifer!"
At this time, there was even greater cheers from the red carpet. The most watched couple at the premiere, the male and female lead arrived.
Texas boys Matthew McConaughey and Jenny’s love affair hype has been around for a while, and the two clasped their fingers on the red carpet, showing their affection.
With a huge production cost of 160 million, all relevant personnel are betting on the future, and the promotion that can bring the box office is very dedicated.
Jenny saw the figure of the true emperor from a distance. The Egyptian theater and the black pharaoh are very good. After she has done all the red carpet duties dedicatedly, Shi Shiran and Matthew McConaughey walked over, "Director Blake, oh... Ai Rice, long time no see."
She has the advantages of height and figure. She deliberately suppressed Amy's blood with a majestic low-cut outfit by embracing, "APLUS..."
"You are so beautiful Jenny today."
Song Ya also gave a courteous hug and kissed her face close to her face. Jenny knew what she liked and maintained a slightly plump body shape. She was slightly tanned only because of the film's desert location scenes too many shots.
"Please come in."
Everyone called friends to walk into the theater, but the distributor, Paramount, seemed to have sent someone to guide him and Amy. Song Ya was a little puzzled and separated from Jenny and the others for a short time, and was taken to the first row of the auditorium. Inside corner.
"Mr. Anschutz?"
After seeing the people next to him clearly, Song Ya's doubts are resolved. Philip Anshuz, the super rich, his business partner who was so hot during the global tour that year.
"APLUS." Anshuz greeted briefly, "Thank you for coming."
"All friends."
Song Ya knew that this ‘Sahara’ was one of the other’s investment projects in Hollywood, and that Paramount was just releasing it.
"What happened to you and Blake's father?"
Anschutz was obviously not in a very good mood. The movie hit the September 11th incident head on when it started in 2001, and it was delayed until 2005. It was also assigned to the off-season schedule by Paramount in April.
As the sixth super-rich in the world with a net worth of 16.5 billion in 1999, Anshuze has begun to lose money in the new millennium. This year his net worth has plummeted to half of his own. This is still on the books. There are still a lot of mines in between.
The biggest setback came from a listed company under his cooperating with Salomon Smith Barney’s financial fraud and was involved in the Enron incident. Because he was betting on the Georges, he was being accused of the New York Donkey Party: former First Lady Senator and Wall Street Sheriff Pitzer teamed up in mixed doubles.
The Georgian dynasty supported his oil company to drill wells in Montana, but after a huge investment in the early stage, it was disturbed by the environmental protection organization and the local Native Indian tribe.
Also, relying on the convenience of the largest individual shareholder of the United Pacific Railroad, he laid all-digital optical fiber infrastructure along the Pacific Railroad, and entered the promising telecommunications and broadband business in one fell swoop, but he never expected to hit the Internet bubble head-on. .
After the September 11th Incident, he began to hunt down the Beimi movie chain theater chain dealers, and won one of the largest theater chain dealers: Emperor Cinemas, thus becoming a big player in Hollywood, but the Emperor Cinemas and his previous purchases The entry of small and medium-sized theaters exceeded the monopoly red line in some states in the United States, and later had to be forced to sell some of them cheaply...
As for the layout to coordinate with the theater, he has also invested in a series of companies in Hollywood, and most of them have not seen any money back. The most important project at the moment is the Sahara where he is personally present.
Anyway, in addition to real estate, performing arts brokers, and investment in sports circles, what has he done in recent years to lose money?
"Eisner must leave Disney, everyone is fed up with him."
Anshuz should have a small amount of Disney shares in his hands, and his friendship with Eisner is also good, otherwise he would not use such good resources to take care of Blake. Maybe this meeting was deliberate, but Song Ya, who has jumped back, has nothing. State the position with a psychological burden.
"Hey…"
Anshuz sighed tiredly, and did not continue the topic.
The lights in the projection hall went out one by one, and Song Ya also concentrated on watching the movie.
He hadn't watched the previous screening. According to Jenny's description and the unbanned film review, Sahara is probably an adventure action film with a mixed style of Raiders of the Lost Ark and 007.
The opening scene was a well-made naval battle between the North and South Army, and the restored first-generation steam ironclad made a magnificent appearance. Song Ya observed that Blake's big scene dispatching ability was obviously not as good as Cameron's, but this is normal. The truck driver's director is full. There is only one in the world.
Then came the standard Raiders of the Raiders type of treasure hunt plot. After the Southern Army failed, a ship loaded a large amount of gold coins and fled to Africa. The male lead team was funded by wealthy businessmen and embarked on a journey.
This plot is quite popular. Some top wealthy people, such as Microsoft founder Paul Allen, are spending a lot of money to fund teams to salvage well-known sunken ships in the global waters.
"Who dare to believe that the desert that has not been in the past for 40 years suddenly rained during the filming..."
When the desolate desert appeared in the wide-angle picture, Anshuzi suddenly vomited.
It seems that because of this, the crew’s location was completely destroyed and had to be rebuilt, losing a lot of money?
Song Ya remembered that Jenny once called and complained to herself about this incident, "Similarly, director Cameron encountered too many accidents during the filming of the Titanic. As long as the movie can sell well, everything is not a problem. ." So he used the example of a truck driver to comfort each other.
"Yeah." Anshuz said nothing again.
Song Ya didn’t like the African plot after stepping into the desert. Unexpectedly, the 2005 movie still had a strong Western-centrism. The protagonists encountered various emergencies in the desert, and there were too many conspiracies in the play. An illogical dramatic reversal.
Only Jenny running in the desert with only a small vest, the picture of jumping and jumping is bloody, it is one of the few bright spots in the second half.
Song Ya licked her lips and started looking at Jenny.
"That Blake, why don't you want to use low-level means to please the audience? Even the truck driver knows to send Kate Winslet's benefits on the Titanic..."
