Chapter 904 The Premiere of "E.T."

Friday, June 19th.

In today's United States, it can be said that all the attention of the entertainment industry has been attracted by one movie.

That is "E.T." released by Universal Pictures, written by talented screenwriter Yin Jun, and directed by great director Spielberg, which is released today.

Not only many Hollywood stars came to support the event, but also many Hollywood film company giants came.

The reporters were naturally busy in Kaili City, with cameras and recorders busy non-stop.

What surprised them most was that Tang Shuxuan, the president of the North American branch of Kirin Group, was among them.

There are a lot of rumors going around in Hollywood right now.

Including the actual and confirmed fact that "Superman 2" will defeat "Speed", and the fact that several movie giants want to suppress Disney and United Artists Film Company, and United Artists Film Company actually hired a An unknown producer is making a movie, another person who switched his career as a truck driver to Hollywood is also entrusted with the important task of making a movie, and there is even news that Tang Shuxuan is actually producing a TV series...

With so many rumors and gimmicks, Tang Shuxuan was surrounded as soon as he arrived at the scene.

"President Tang, I would like to ask you, regarding the schedule of "Speed", do you have any intention of changing gears? Regarding the classic sequel of "Superman 2", Mr. Yin Jun, who is far away in Hong Kong, is really so interested in "Speed"? Are you confident?"

"How can a movie starring almost Hong Kong people achieve good results in North America? How can it be worth spending so many resources to support it? President Tang, can you talk about why?"

"I heard you're directing your own TV series, what kind of content is it? Will it be on the Disney Channel?"

"Ms. Tang, regarding the young man named Bruckheimer, why did you suddenly appoint him to make the movie? Didn't you find a better producer?"

"I heard that James Cameron, who was still working as an assistant to other directors last year, actually received a budget of more than 30 million US dollars. Did Mr. Yin Jun and you really fight against all odds?"

"..."

Amidst the swarm of reporters and the protection of the staff, Tang Shuxuan walked very calmly, with a smile on her face, but she did not answer questions.

When she passed the crowd of reporters and walked into the venue, the surrounding area relaxed.

Spielberg, who was talking to others, looked around after being reminded by his assistant, and then hurried to Tang Shuxuan's side.

"Ms. Tang, thank you for coming, and thank you and Jun for your strong support." Spielberg held Tang Shuxuan's hand and lowered his voice, "I am very sorry for what happened recently, but please forgive me. Nothing can be done."

Spielberg is also a director who started from the bottom, but he was lucky and outstanding, so "Jaws" brought him into the ranks of top-notch directors.

Coupled with last year's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it has stabilized his position as a top-notch director in Hollywood.

But this does not mean that he is an outsider who knows nothing about the world. He has seen all the intrigues in Hollywood, but these things have not happened to him, so he can only pretend not to see them.

In this society, in Hollywood, if you want to make everyone as holy as the Virgin Mary, that is simply a joke.

Being able to ensure that there is a little bit of innocence around you is already a great thing.

So Spielberg also knows about the conspiracy of several companies to suppress the Kirin Group, but he is just a director, how can he help? He could only call Yin Jun secretly to encourage him from a moral perspective. This was all he could do.

But Spielberg did not expect that when "E.T." was released this time, in early June, United Artists Film Company and Disney Company would add a lot of titles to his "E.T." through their own distribution networks. The number of cinemas co-screening "E.T." has unprecedentedly exceeded 2,000, reaching more than 2,300, and the number of screens has reached more than 4,700.

Although Yin Jun has great interests in "E.T.", Spielberg knows that if Kirin Group does this, it will be Universal Pictures and him who will benefit more.

Yin Jun did this with a sense of disregarding past grudges and being a good friend, which proved that he valued Spielberg more.

Tang Shuxuan smiled slightly when he saw this: "Steven, you don't have to worry too much. These things have nothing to do with you. Ajun said that your only mission is to continue to make good-looking and meaningful movies. This is what you think about the whole world." Humanity’s contribution! These intrigues have nothing to do with you.”

"That's what it is..." Spielberg pondered: "Are you really sure about Superman 2?"

"No matter whether we are sure or not, we cannot give in at this time!" Tang Shuxuan also smiled, "But don't worry, I believe in Ajun more than you do, he will definitely create a miracle! ... In a few days Can you also come to the film screening meeting and take a look?"

"good!"

Spielberg readily agreed.

In this regard, he doesn't care what Universal Pictures thinks.

Besides, in Hollywood, business is business and favors are favors. Universal Pictures might send someone there themselves, so why would it care whether Spielberg goes?

…

Watching the two of them chatting there, George Harding sneered, "It seems that this woman still doesn't give up. Does she want to hook up with your Spielberg to save United Artists Film Company?"

Sam Karloff's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no concern: "Steven's abilities are outstanding. It's normal for those people to want him to make movies. It's a pity that no one has better conditions than Universal Pictures." Okay, so he will definitely stay with us."

"Don't be too careless." Michael Eisner said: "Now I feel that Yin Jun is indeed an opponent worthy of attention. That 'Great Split' advertisement is really amazing. It not only created a classic for Mercedes-Benz, Moreover, he greatly promoted the young man named Fei Xiang and made the "Speed" which has not yet been released popular."

"That's why I ask you to give me more cinemas and more publicity." George Harding's face didn't look good.

Today is exactly one month since the "Great Split" commercial was aired, but Mercedes-Benz seems to be crazy. It is still promoting and broadcasting this commercial on a large scale, and it has no intention of stopping.

Although I know that with this advertisement, your popularity has more than doubled, and you have directly become the world's number one automobile company. Your fame has exploded, and your car sales have increased significantly. But is such an exaggerated advertisement really free of charge?

If one more commercial is broadcast, it will be free advertising for "Speed ​​of Life and Death"!

"Don't worry, like I said, the quality of the film determines everything." Rosenbrandt said, "By the way, the "Speed" test film will be held in two days, do you decide to send someone there or go directly? ?”

"Go directly? Will they give us an invitation letter?" Matthew Cody said with a smile, "Stop dreaming, just let the theater managers go. They are much more professional than us, and they will definitely be able to tell. In fact, I I’m not worried, because its quality is at most 70 points, and “Superman 2” is at least 85 points, so they are not on the same level.”

George Harding nodded slightly, "I hope so too."

"But speaking of it, don't you think we should pay more attention to the two other films prepared by Kirin Group?" Alan Ryder interjected: "I know and know this young man Bruckheimer. He is A very talented young man. If he puts his effort into making a movie and the script is written by Yin Jun, it will definitely not be bad at the box office."

"He has also made movies for our company, but according to the people below, he is just a yes man and is very respectful to the director. How can such a person succeed in Hollywood without enough character?" Rosenblum Lant continued, "And I also found out that the male lead this time is the nigger who starred in "Police Academy" and "Speed", and the female lead is a Chinese... Haha, Yin Jun’s combination is also strange.”

George Harding agreed very much, "Yes, it's like "Speed". If he filmed it in the United States and used American actors, then I would be even more nervous. But now it seems that he is purely Every movie must include Chinese people, which is very different from our North American audience's aesthetics, so it is normal for the box office to drop."

"Yes, this is what makes Yin Jun very stubborn and very puzzling." Alan Ryder said, "You said that he doesn't pay attention to the North American market, and he invested so much in filming and publicity. But you said that he does not pay attention to the North American market. Well, but we didn’t invite a popular star, it’s really strange!”

Michael Eisner suddenly laughed at this time: "You guys are talking about this, I think about it, how can people not be famous stars? It is the second movie that Ryder just mentioned, except that the director is a former truck driver, The male protagonist seems to be the super bodybuilding champion, Arnold Schwarzenegger from Austria. This is a big star that women across the United States love!"

"Ha ha……"

The giants present laughed out loud.

They have all heard about Schwarzenegger's experiences in Hollywood over the years. In their opinion, this tall and muscular man with facial paralysis is best suited only for his bodybuilding career, film acting, and He was so out of tune.

If he hadn't found the little princess of the Kennedy family in the past two years, the producers of the Seven Giants would definitely not have given him any role.

But Schwarzenegger wasted all the roles given to him without exception, making people dumbfounded.

Such a movie idiot, starring in a movie?

Yin Jun is really crazy!
