Chapter 64 63 Cooperation Suddenly Became Pleasant
Chapter 64 The cooperation suddenly became pleasant
That night, MGM's official website released a one-minute video, which was exactly the shape of Bumblebee and included a ten-second transformation scene.
Although it still looks a bit rough and has not reached the perfect level, the only thing missing is more refined polishing.
For this shape and action, it took more than a month from MGM's first draft to Weta Digital's completion of the preliminary stage.
This time spent is already short, and it was completed under Eric's on-site guidance and changes.
Otherwise, you want to get it done in a month? Think of peach! It will take at least three months.
In Park City, Sweetwater Manor, Eric opened another large villa.
In addition to good wine and good meat, beautiful women are naturally indispensable. After throwing a lot of money, high-end call girls soon came to the door. After venting, Sergei finally got angry.
At this time, the two were soaking in the hot spring, and the old guy finally stopped nagging.
"You look much better."
Sergey exhaled heavily as if he was cultivating immortality, and seemed to be savoring the taste just now.
"The two women you found are really good. People in your entertainment industry are still good."
"Uh, you are wrong, buddy. They are just high-end goods. I think the price of $2,000 takeout is increased. After all, it is the peak season during the Sundance Film Festival!"
"Time is too tight this time. If you want to experience female stars, I will arrange it next time."
Hearing this, Sergey became interested and asked tentatively: "Can you get Kate Winslet? I have a good impression of her."
"Titanic?"
This middle-aged man in his thirties was rarely shy: "Yes, that's flesh-colored silk, the dream of many men."
Eric was a little speechless. Brother, you are almost forty years old, and you still believe in that? Still playing innocent?
Noticing that the other party's eyes were not right, Sergei hurriedly explained: "In fact, my family is not happy. Rachel is my wife. We have been separated for a long time. To be more precise, we have been playing separately and don't bother each other."
"There was no love between the two of us. That was in high school. We just had a one-night stand, and then I won the lottery, and that's how we started a muddled marriage."
"Sergei, with your status and position, what's the big deal if you won the lottery? If you don't want it, can't you just give her some money? Is it necessary to get married? The price is too high!" Eric asked in confusion.
Sergei shook his head helplessly: "No, you don't know me. Although I also have the last name Hassenfeld, it can only be regarded as a branch, a very distant one."
"At that time, I was a young man like you, actually younger than you. I didn't enjoy the wealth and reputation of this family when I was young. I was just a poor boy. State law does not allow abortion, so I have no choice but to get married.
"Later, when I started working at Hasbro, I gradually got to where I am today. ”
Eric gave a thumbs up: "If you put it that way, you are independent and capable at a young age."
Sergey remained silent, paused for a moment and suddenly smiled bitterly: "It seems so to outsiders, right? But it's not the case in fact."
"The main reason why I was able to sit in the position of CEO of Hasbro is that Allen's two sons died in an accident and he had no heirs."
"And I am an obedient person, so this position finally came to me, that's it. "
"Then"
Suddenly, Sergei seemed to open up, or perhaps he had been suppressing it for too long, and began to talk about his life.
Eric was a little depressed after hearing this. It turned out that this seemingly bright and beautiful man was so unbearable behind the scenes.
Rather than being a CEO, he was more like a puppet, a puppet at the mercy of his uncle who was already five generations older than him.
This time he had calculated Hasbro, so he was naturally used as a punching bag by his uncle. In Sergei's own words, he felt like living like a dog, a dog circling around Alan Hassenfeld's feet.
His only pleasure is sex, and only sex can make him regain some self-esteem.
Sighing, Eric took out a bottle of high-proof vodka from the cabinet.
"Have a glass, at least it will make you forget your troubles tonight. ”
Sergey was not polite either, and drank the 60-proof vodka directly. The burning sensation made his face flush instantly.
He shook his head and told the other party not to play too much.
Eric got up and left, and soon two tall and beautiful girls entered the hot spring.
At this time, on the Internet, with the release of MGM's video, it quickly attracted a lot of attention, and the short one-minute video was quickly reposted to major forums.
MGM then bought an advertisement on the front page of Yahoo. As long as you click on the website, the first thing you see is the cool transformation of Bumblebee.
Many people who were not interested in Transformers were attracted.
Although there are die-hard fans who dislike the difference from the anime version, this group of people is definitely not as many as the public.
As for Eric's work as a director, it is naturally no longer paid attention to, because the core selling point of "Transformers" is these iron lumps.
No way, no way, who watches Transformers to see people? Aren't they all here to see the Autobots and Decepticons?
As long as they can do them well, the movie will be more than half successful, and the video released by MGM perfectly proves this point.
The next day, when Eric and Sergey met again, they tacitly did not mention what happened yesterday, and the latter seemed to have become the high-spirited CEO again.
At 9:30 in the morning, as the market opened, Hasbro's stock price really soared.
"Hahahaha it worked, the stock price started to rise, Eric, you are really a genius!"
"Look at these people, they are all attracted by the video, is this Bumblebee?"
"Yes, we have negotiated with General Motors, it will be a Chevrolet in the movie." Eric replied with a smile.
Sergey looked at the transformed part and exclaimed: "This is simply amazing, it feels completely different from the anime version. I have a hunch that when the movie is released, these Transformers will definitely sell like crazy."
As he said this, the last clause of the bet agreement came to his mind: "Can 4 times the sales really be achieved?"
But in a blink of an eye, he threw the doubt behind him: "Eric, now that the matter has been resolved, I should return to New York to report to Allen, but I hope MGM will not make any more rash decisions."
Eric smiled and stretched out his hand: "Please rest assured, then I wish you a safe journey, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"
"Happy cooperation!"
The two hugged each other, and Sergey got into the car.
Several followers couldn't help wondering why the relationship between these two people suddenly became so good. They almost fought yesterday. It's really strange!
Looking at the car leaving, Eric couldn't help but recall the conversation last night. Perhaps Sergey will be a good helper.
The stock market has come to a temporary end. This paragraph is written specifically. Everyone can see that it is to prepare for the future acquisition of Hasbro.
