Chapter 250 245 Hollywood Is Full of Jews, Let's Make Things Difficult for Them

Chapter 246 245. Hollywood is full of Jews, add some trouble to them

"Why do I feel like I'm being prostituted?"

In front of the French window, watching Zhou Wenqiong get into a taxi and leave without looking back, Eric couldn't help muttering to himself.

He originally thought that the other party was someone like Liu Xiaoli, but it didn't look like that.

Zhou Wenqiong was more like a person who pursued opportunities, and was more eager to climb up with her own abilities, rather than relying on nepotism.

In comparison, Liu Xiaoli was more pure, trading purely for resources, and Eric was just venting his desires on her, both of them were very pure.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhou Wenqiong was playing hard to get, deliberately acting very free and easy, in fact, just to attract his attention.

But think about it carefully, it shouldn't be, is she, a 40-year-old middle-aged woman, qualified? Is Eric short of women around him? And after a few hours of communication, Zhou Wenqiong did show a full understanding of the industry.

"Or like Ms. Valentine said, give her a manager position to try, and make a small bet for a year."

"Damn! The bitch is really good at tricks. I'm actually considering this."

The idea came to his mind, and he picked up the phone and dialed.

"Eric?" Zhou Wenqiong was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect the phone to call him just after he left.

"Don't be surprised. I've considered your proposal."

"So fast? So the answer is no?" The other party's tone was a little disappointed.

"Why?"

"Because affirming a person must be carefully considered, while denying a person often only takes three seconds to think."

"Interesting conclusion, but it doesn't work here. You got the position you wanted, ma'am."

After a pause, a chuckle sounded on the phone a few seconds later.

"Are you laughing happily?"

"Yes, good news always makes people want to laugh, but can I ask? Forget it, I won't ask."

"Do you want to know if you got the position because you slept with me?"

"Yes."

"Guess."

"Uh"

After teasing the other party, Eric stopped joking: "Joan, you have to pay for what you get. I will give you a year to show your ability, but you must complete a test first."

"I will fire 70% of the original staff of the theater. You decide who will leave and who will stay, but I don't want anyone to make trouble. Can you do it?"

"No problem, give me a week, and I will let those who are just sitting there and eating for nothing get out immediately!" Zhou Wenqiong promised immediately.

"You control the process yourself. I know you have been suppressed all the time, so it is inevitable that you will feel resentful, but don't drive away capable people just for personal revenge."

The other party sneered: "Eric, do you think I am a child who can't distinguish between public and private? At least we have to wait until the theater is on the right track, and then it will not be too late to take revenge."

"Very good, I hate you but I still have to use you, this is the quality that a qualified leader should have."

"Also, contact my secretary Carol, and you can choose any MGM movie to adapt into a stage play. I just want to see the effect."

"Any more questions? I'll hang up if I have nothing else."

"Thank you, boss!"

Firing employees has always been a problem, especially when you take over a new company that is about to go bankrupt.

How to distinguish which employee is capable and which employee is a slacker has always been a technical problem.

Instead of spending a lot of time doing this kind of thing, it is better to let Zhou Wenqiong be the villain. Outsiders can never understand the inside story better than our own people.

After hanging up the phone, Eric put on his clothes, wiped off the light lipstick marks on his neck and left.

This week, "The Hangover" earned $12.3 million at the box office, ranking fifth in the weekly rankings.

The North American box office has accumulated to $213 million, and it has also won the weekly box office champion in many countries overseas, with a box office of $133 million.

With a global total box office of $346 million, it has topped the 2004 box office rankings. Of course, it is temporary, after all, commercial blockbusters are generally placed in the summer and Christmas seasons.

Now "The Hangover" continues to fight in theaters. BOX predicts that the global total box office will reach $450 million, which exceeds the imagination of countless people.

Major companies such as Paramount, Sony, Lionsgate, and Fox have been searching for such shitty and fart movies in the script library, picking and choosing, and choosing the most slutty ones to shoot.

Following the trend in the film industry is a common problem all over the world. Many Chinese people think that their country is dominated by bad movies, traffic is rampant, and garbage is everywhere. They feel that Hollywood is all well-made blockbusters, and even commercial movies have special effects and big scenes to ensure quality.

This idea cannot be said to be right, but it is also ridiculously wrong.

The reason for the illusion is just because of the environment, just like the information cocoon, Hollywood's bad movies are blocked outside the country.

Those that can enter are all screened, otherwise how can they earn your box office? Even a fool will not be fooled repeatedly.

Even in the DVD market and the pirated disc market, some famous movies will be selected, otherwise the discs will lose money, and the probability of bad movies in famous movies will be much smaller, so this illusion is created.

The 14th place on the list is Warner's "Police and Hutch", which has an investment of more than twice that of "The Hangover". Ben Stiller was invited to be the male lead, and Todd Phillips was invited to direct.

However, Phillips refused and he turned to choose "The Hangover".

Now the two movies are released one week apart. "The Hangover" is undoubtedly a big hit, and "Police and Hutch" also started very well and won a weekly box office championship.

However, the subsequent decline was large, and the second week was suppressed by the third week of "The Hangover".

Both movies are comedies, "The Hangover" has more, and "Police and Hutch" has less.

So much so that the analysis agency changed the forecast. The initial forecast was $150 million in North America and $270 million worldwide, and now it has been changed to $100 million in North America and $200 million worldwide.

It is still profitable, but compared with the investment of more than 80 million US dollars, Warner will definitely make less.

In contrast, the outside world can't help but praise Todd Phillips's vision, and many invitations have come to him.

At dawn, a black Lincoln sedan was driving on the way to Los Angeles International Airport.

"Carol, you don't look very well. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just went to bed a little late. I'll be fine after I go back and rest."

Eric nodded: "Zhou Wenqiong will contact you in the next few days. She will be in charge of the work of the Hasend Theater for the time being. You will coordinate it."

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, where is Judy Newhouse? It seems that I haven't heard her voice for a while?"

"Judy asked for leave a week ago, which happened to coincide with your return to China. It will expire in two days."

"What happened to her?"

"I'm not sure, I just know it's a family matter, and she has to go back to New York to deal with it."

After a slight hum, Eric didn't ask any more questions.

I fought with Gadot for half a night last night, killing her so much that her muscles and bones were exhausted. The price was that I haven't recovered yet. I only slept for less than three hours. I must sleep well when I get on the plane.

The car slowly stopped, Eric opened his eyes and got out of the car, and Carol followed behind with things.

"Okay, Carol, you go back."

Eric took the bag and prepared to board the plane, but he saw that the other party seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Anything else?"

"Boss, although the premiere is not going to be held, are you not going to attend the premiere?" Carol asked.

"No need. Although The Passion of the Christ is a good movie, it will definitely be criticized. We don't want to be a target."

"But Mel Gibson and others will attend. If none of us attend, isn't it not good?"

Eric thought for a moment: "Your consideration makes sense. Let's do this. The distribution company is AK Films. You notify Warren to attend."

"Anyway, MGM will hide behind the scenes and wait for the money. Go back and warn the company not to talk nonsense. I don't want to cause trouble for public opinion."

"Understood!"

Looking at the white dots gradually disappearing in the sky, Carol couldn't help thinking: "Eric left at the right time. Filming is one thing, and going out to hide is probably another."

This journey is a bit long. When the plane landed, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. When we arrived at the snow castle, there was not much time left for today's filming.

On the set, watching the orderly filming, Eric nodded secretly.

This scene is the highlight moment of Eames played by Tom Hardy. According to the set fighting action, he knocked down the enemies one by one neatly and beautifully.

Bang!

The prop gun fired, the stuntman fell to the ground, and Neil called out "Cut", and this one was passed.

"Well done! It seems that you have adapted well to the new position." Eric walked over and clapped his hands in praise.

Neil Blomkamp chuckled a few times: "Director, if you saw the situation on my first day of shooting, you would definitely not applaud."

"It is because of everyone's cooperation that I can gradually get familiar with it, but the progress is much slower than when you were here. I have only completed two-thirds of the expected goal. Sorry."

"People always have to adapt for the first time. Send the clips you shot in the past few days to my room in the evening."

Knowing that Eric was going to check his work results, he said confidently: "I promise that everything was shot according to your storyboard, not a single minute is wrong."

"Eric, didn't you say you would be there at three o'clock? It's been delayed until now and everyone thought you had graduated?" Nicole's tone was full of worry and complaint.

"Yes, this is Chile. We are worried that you will perform an Andes miracle." Theron and others also came over to say hello.

Eric was speechless: "I just forgot to count the time from landing to the snow castle, but the plane did arrive on time at three o'clock."

"Andes miracle, if there is really an accident, I will be the first to eat you!"

The Andes miracle here refers to a real plane accident that happened in the 1970s.

The plane crashed while flying over the Andes Mountains. 21 of the 45 passengers died on the spot and 24 survived.

Then these 24 people faced severe cold, injuries and hunger in the boundless snow-capped mountains, and 16 of them walked out of the snow alive, which was called the Andes miracle.

But in the subsequent investigation, the survivors also revealed the cruel reality that the reason they were able to survive was actually to feed on the flesh and blood of the victims.

After the truth was exposed, public opinion began to waver, and critical voices followed.

In the end, some of these 16 people could not bear it and committed suicide, while others changed their identities and disappeared. The so-called miracle was a cruel tragedy behind it.

"Okay, but I have too little meat, and Theron should be more delicious." Nicole giggled.

"Huh? Is she saying I'm fat?" Hearing this, Theron immediately started to associate and immediately smiled and prepared to fight back.

Eric keenly realized that something was wrong and spoke first to disrupt the topic.

"Speaking of the topic of cannibalism, I suddenly remembered a novel, "Life of Pi", have you read it?"

Bell's eyes lit up: "I have read it, Yann Martel's work, a very wonderful novel."

"Yes, especially the analysis of human nature, the metaphors, struggles, sacrifices, and transcendence contained in it make people intoxicated."

Bell nodded: "I think this is a work about how people and the world get along. After reading it, I have a feeling that this journey is not to cover up human bestiality, but to have more confidence in human nature."

Look, this is an actor who loves to learn. What do actors fight for in the end? It is cultural heritage. Reading is the best way to accumulate heritage.

Seeing that the two talked about a book they had never heard of, the others could not interrupt and could only disperse.

"Eric, I think Life of Pi is very suitable for being made into a movie. It is an excellent film that will hit the Oscars at first glance."

"I agree with this. MGM will start this project."

"Huh?"

"Hehe. I have already obtained the copyright of the novel, but I need to find a suitable director to start it. It must be a director who is extremely good at controlling emotions and hearts."

"Can I play a cameo role?" Bale asked excitedly.

"I know there is no main role suitable for me in it, but just a cameo will do. I really like this novel."

"No problem."

Midnight, Los Angeles, Kodak Theater.

Today is the day when The Passion of the Christ is released. In view of the special nature of the film, even the Arclight Cinema that MGM has been using has been abandoned, and the premiere is set here.

It has been two years since the project was established and the film was released today, and there has been constant controversy.

The main opposition group is the Jews, because Jesus was betrayed by Judas, and Judas is a Jew. This is why it is difficult for the film to find a distributor. After all, the Jewish community in Hollywood still occupies a considerable number.

For example, Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Robert Downey Jr., Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Ben Stiller, Adrien Brody, Orlando Bloom, Scarlett Johnson, etc., who are well-known to the audience, all have Jewish ancestry.

In addition to celebrities, there are many Jews in the senior management of Disney, Universal and Warner. Although they are not controlled, they can still influence the company's decision-making.

Other large and medium-sized companies also have Jews. At present, only MGM and Fox are relatively clean.

But when Mel Gibson approached Fox, the other party was also very cautious and entangled. Only Eric approved it, but also passed the hot potato to AK Films, the white glove.

Although the movie is constantly controversial, there are also benefits, that is, it saves publicity costs, and advertising does not need to be run. People who scold you and boycott you will naturally help you fight.

MGM also treated it very well, opening 3,100 theaters, and even many self-made movies can't get this data.

The reason is not complicated. Eric also hates those Jews who are double-standard and like to jump around!

Why not make things difficult for them?

As for Gadot, she agrees with everything I do.

She has never served in the military and does not believe in religion. She only feels a sense of belonging to her family.

As for Jewish ancestry, I have nothing to do with you, so don't try to be related to me!
