Chapter 386: Another Jennifer
When it was planned to acquire a film company with distribution channels last year, Eric also collected information on Orion Pictures. == If you have already read this chapter, please go to "/" to read the latest chapter, or you can search for "" or "" directly in Baidu, please remember our new website. /[ads: This site is a new website, shorthand method:,]
The film company was founded almost at the same time as the Wayne brothers' Miramax in the late seventies.
However, compared to Milamax, the establishment of Orion has a great momentum, attracting a large number of famous filmmakers such as Francisco Pola and Sylvester Stallone, even the Terminator. The first part is issued by Orion.
After the establishment of Orion, 18 films were produced in just five years, and 10 of them were profitable. This ratio is absolutely high among film companies.
Therefore, Orion Pictures was once named by the media as another Hollywood player who is the most threatening to several major movie companies. It also caused the competition between Viacom’s Summery Shidong and Metropolitan Media’s John Kruger. In the end, John Kruger, who was rich in money, took control of Orion's film industry with huge sums of money.
However, since the late 1980s, the situation of Orion's film industry has turned sharply. For several years, due to the loss of film production, the Orion Film Industry has become more and more indebted and faces bankruptcy at any time.
"Well, you don't dig people. I heard that John Kruger has already planned to sell Orion to oil tycoon Marvin Davis. It is a big gold lord, maybe it will come back."
"When did you see the news?" Calta asked.
Eric thought for a moment and said, "A week ago, a piece of news in "Hollywood Report."
Karta said: "Then you certainly don't know, this business is already yellow. Marvin Davis bought a 20th Century Fox and lost a lot. He had to resell it to Mr. Murdoch. How could it be planted again? John Kruger has already planned to stop Orion, and I heard that the company's production department is preparing to win the copyright of the "Adams Family" TV series in Orion."
Eric just shrugged: "Take him, let's talk about us."
"About the second plan..." Calta nodded and was about to say it, suddenly and seriously looking at Eric. Said: "Eric, I suddenly want to understand some things, since the copyright of "Dance with the Wolf" is in your hands, Liz has taken the film with sex. Should you instruct you?"
"Yes," Eric did not deny.
Calta hesitated, remembering Eric's consistent vision, and then asked: "What do you think about the box office prospects of this movie, if you look good, we will put it on Thanksgiving next year, if you are pure If you want this movie to make way for the Silent Lamb, then Christmas is released?"
"This is definitely a movie that has the potential to impact Oscar's best film. I only see this. As for the box office, I really don't have a clue, but it shouldn't be too bad," Eric said honestly. .
"In this case," Karta saw that Eric had no confidence in the box office prospects of the film. "That would follow the release strategy of "Rain Man". It will be in December, but because it is Christmas. Film companies of this kind can only get up to 1,000 screens, but we will definitely be much better than Orion in the announcement."
It took a few hours to discuss the details of the specific cooperation. When Eric was sent out of the office building, Karta asked: "Eric, although I have some questions about the position, I am still very curious, since You took the copyright of this movie, why not make it yourself?"
Eric said helplessly: "You think Liz will be willing to go crazy for no reason. Also recruited a Fox nickname to come back? This is a good condition for us to discuss, copyright belongs to me, issued to Fox, That little girl is like a little hamster. Everything wants to draw in my nest."
Kartahaha laughed: "This is a matter of course. She is the daughter of the Murdoch family after all."
Jennifer Connelly left after finishing the so-called dubbing of "The Fighting Condor" in the morning, because I have not yet returned to work, Eric did not return directly to Joanna's villa, but went to Burbank, at the office. I have handled some official duties. I left after work.
On the second day, there was no accident. The New York Post appeared on him and Jennifer Connelly’s anecdote report. The article was very acquainted with the photos of Connelly’s rushing to Eric’s arms, but chose one. The girl took a picture of him when he walked into the Fox office building. In this case, if two people do not want to admit it, they can also say that they are good friends. If you have a good friend, it’s nothing to do with each other. Believe it or not. you.
In addition to the 'Williams' another Jennifer' title is a bit embarrassing, the content of the article is quite convergent, and the story of Eric and Jennifer Aniston is accounted for, and Jennifer Connor is described in detail. The biography of Li Tongxing’s birth, as for the relationship between the two people, the report is also completely a guessing tone.
After a few brief introductions, the news began to turn to Jennifer Connelly’s recent fight against the Condor. In fact, most people will find that this is a propaganda soft text, but the propaganda soft text mixed with anecdotes is A subject that readers love to see, even if many people can see that the credibility of the news is not high at a glance, it is always more eye-catching than those that are ridiculous.
Many movies use this method when propagating, but most of them use the anecdote between male and female protagonists, but this time, "The Fighting Condor" uses the heroine and Hollywood's hot young director Ai The scandal between Rick Williams was hyped.
As for the hero of the "Fighting Condor", Charlie Sheen, although she was involved in the "Field Battle" a few years ago, she was barely considered a first-line male star, but her influence with Eric is far from comparable.
Although Charlie Sheen is also a famous Hollywood playboy, if he uses the scandal of him and the heroine to do something, he will certainly attract considerable attention, but considering the relationship between Connelly and Eric, even if someone proposes it, it will be released. The party will not risk the anger of Eric. After all, Eric’s current status is more than just a director, not to mention that Jennifer Connelly will certainly not cooperate.
Eric didn't care too much about this report. However, after several women saw it, they called and tempted. Since breaking up with Aniston, Eric has not confirmed his formal girlfriend. There is no idea, but for this kind of temptation Eric is all perfunctory, he has no such idea at all. (To be continued.) xh118
