Reborn Resource Tycoon

Chapter 977 Sony's ambition? (Urgently looking for a monthly pass)

On Friday, June 3th, fans of "Fang" and Cameron all over the world are waiting eagerly for the premiere of "Terminator [-]" at Universal Cinemas in Hollywood at [-]:[-] pm.

After many years, the screenwriter, director, starring and main original cast members reunited to shoot a sequel, which is 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 boy John, and Robert Patrick, who played T-2 in "Terminator 1000" also starred together His original role in "Terminator 2".

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

As for Edward Furlong, he was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for forced detoxification, and signed a contract that he would face sky-high compensation if he took drugs during filming, and he was accompanied by someone throughout the filming process. Allow him to join the cast.During filming, except when he and his girlfriend are having sex, they are accompanied by people when taking a bath and going to the toilet.And her girlfriend also knew that once Edward Furlong took any drug-taking behavior during the filming period, the compensation demand he would face would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life on repaying his debts, so he would also stare at Edward Furlong.

Of course, Edward Furlong also understands that starring in "Terminator 3" has not been smooth for him since "Terminator 2".It is a rare opportunity to turn around. As long as he can perform well in "Terminator 3", his future will be bright.He even jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's first-line and even top male stars!If you were kicked out of the crew because of drug use, it would be irresponsible for your own life.So during the whole filming period, despite suffering several times, he forcibly endured it.

As for Robert Patrick, since his subsequent acting career was not smooth and he didn't have any bad habits, he was the smoothest one when inviting him.

Uda Mitsuri plays two roles in this film.One was the girlfriend of young John.The future wife - the daughter of the character she played in Terminator 2.The other is the new robot T-3000 sent back to Earth in [-] by Skynet. After two failed attempts to strangle John in the cradle, Skynet decided to take a more covert approach to John. So as to seek a one-hit kill-after all, get a photo of John's wife.for it.It's not difficult.

From three to four in the afternoon.Outside the Universal Cinema, crowds had already begun to gather.And around [-]:[-] pm, outside the Universal Cinema.It was already a crowded crowd.Movie fans from the United States and all over the world have surrounded the place, except for the aisle for movie stars to set foot on the red carpet.Hundreds of media reporters have already set up "guns and cannons" and waited for the arrival of the stars.

The first to arrive at the cinema was 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. The true face of Lushan media reporters was disappointed.Next, the crew members of "Terminator 3" came one after another. Linda Hamilton and Mitsuri Uda attracted the cheers of a large number of fans. When Cameron and Schwarzenegger walked on the red carpet side by side , The cheers at the scene were like thunder!

In the following time, it can be said that it will be a big review of Hollywood celebrities. Except for those who have something to do, or who can’t get away, those familiar movie stars, directors, and the bosses of those companies will all appeared here.Even some well-known movie stars in Hong Kong and the Mainland have joined the ranks.Fang Mingyuan also participated in this premiere, but he did not walk the red carpet. After entering the cinema, he did not sit in any conspicuous position. Instead, he sat in a blind spot where no camera would capture him - Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Jade Bird Film Group have informed those who can shoot or take pictures in the cinema that shooting is absolutely not allowed in this location. If anyone dares to ignore the warning, the two companies will jointly block the person or even the media.Of course, this position has another advantage, that is, it is relatively inconspicuous. If Fang Mingyuan didn't greet anyone on purpose, no one who didn't know would be able to spot him.

After being in this industry for many years, it was the first time for Fang Mingyuan to participate in the premiere of his company's works in the United States.If the mainland and Hong Kong hadn't just gotten rid of the status of the epidemic area, if "Terminator 3" was released at the same time as North America and Europe, and the time was too short, he would definitely attend the premiere in Hong Kong.

This time, "Terminator 3" has more than 7000 screens in nearly 3 movie theaters in North America, and nearly [-] movie theaters in Europe with [-] yuan screens. "Terminator [-]" will be officially released tonight. [-]", 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 movie theater was already full of people. Before the premiere officially started, people gathered together randomly, forming small groups one by one.

Fang Mingyuan's cell phone rang, Fang Mingyuan glanced at it casually, and couldn't help being a little surprised, the caller was the vice president of Sony Corporation, Hei Keijiro!

"Fang Jun, I heard that you also participated in the premiere of "Terminator 3"? I'm here too. I don't know if I have the honor to have a face-to-face meeting with Fang Jun. Our Sony company has an idea and wants to cooperate with Fang Jun. .” As soon as the call was connected, there was a greeting from Keijiro Hirae.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, then told him his location.Not long after, under the leadership of the staff, Hei Jingjiro appeared in front of Fang Mingyuan.

"Fang, long time no see!" Hei Jingjiro greeted enthusiastically.

"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 land for more than half a year.Although I had phone contact with Hirai Keijiro and others, it was really a long time since I saw them.

The two sat down again, Hei Jingjiro looked around, and found that the entire interior of the cinema could be clearly seen from here, but it was not easy to see clearly from those seats, so he couldn't help laughing.Fang Mingyuan was still the same as before, he didn't like to show his face, otherwise, he should sit on the rostrum now, accepting media interviews and everyone's attention.But he ran to this place where no one noticed.People like him are indeed too rare.

"President Pingjing, it's not easy to come to America from Japan?" Fang Mingyuan laughed.

"It's not easy, it's not easy!" Hei Jingjiro shook his head again and again, "After getting off the plane, he was confined and observed for seven days before he was free."

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

Hei Jingjiro looked at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Mr. Fang, tell me directly, are you interested in MGM?"

Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly. To a Hollywood person, the MGM company is naturally very familiar. Regarding the development of the world film industry, MGM company can be said to have made the world's attention. Achievements, its lion logo is well-known, it is also one of the oldest film companies in Hollywood.It filmed the classic "Gone with the Wind" in the history of film. He owns the copyright of 007 and "Tom and Jerry", and has won hundreds of Oscars. The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established and launched the Oscars. In recent years, MGM’s financial situation has been deteriorating, especially last year, when MGM invested heavily in the filming of the war blockbuster “Windtalker”, the box office suffered a lot. The fiasco, the top management of the company was forced to resign, and there was news that MGM would be transferred.

Of course Fang Mingyuan knew about the current situation of MGM. After all, he was considered a well-known figure in Hollywood, and during the past few days in the United States, some people 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 satisfy the needs of cable TV 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 through computers.And the laws to ensure that film companies profit from it are not yet in place.

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 classic films, which makes the value of MGM Shrunk dramatically.

What's more, MGM's current debt may exceed 20 billion US dollars!

Could it be that Sony has healed its scars and forgotten the pain, and Columbia Pictures has just made a significant improvement, and they are thinking about MGM again? (To be continued..)
