In front of Burbank ABC TV station in Los Angeles, Matt Damon was surrounded by countless fans almost crazy as soon as he got off the car.

"Borne!"

"Born is here!"

Signature books appeared near Matt Damon. Although the bodyguards tried hard to stop them, many people handed the signature books to Matt Damon.

"Borne!" A female fan was almost fanatical: "Sign us your autograph!"

Matt Damon took the autograph pen and signed his name on her notebook. The female fan glanced at it and seemed very dissatisfied and said loudly: "Borne! Sign another Bourne's name!"

After hearing this, Matt Damon couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he has a good personality and knows that no matter what happens, he can't care about his hardcore fans. He also wrote down the name "Jason Bourne" in his signature book.

Matt Damon signed a number of fans, and with the help of the bodyguard, he slowly walked out of the crowd and entered ABC TV.

The agent was already waiting here, so he hurriedly came forward and said, "Matt, you are the most popular star this month."

Even Keanu Reeves, released in "The Matrix 2", is not as good as Matt Damon's exposure.

After hearing what the agent said, Matt Damon smiled and said, "This is not entirely a good thing."

The agent asked for no reason, "What's wrong?"

Matt Damon lowered his voice and said, "I just signed seven names, three of whom asked me to sign the name Jason Bourne."

The agent's expression gradually became worse: "It's already reached this point?"

Matt Damon said: "I'm going to be solidified by Jason Bourne's image, right?"

"We need to pay attention." The agent accompanied Matt Damon to the TV station and said as he walked: "Matt, I suggest you finish the third part and suspend the role of Jason Bourne."

The agent is very smart, and Matt Damon is not a fool who only looks at the immediate interests. He said, "I will not continue to star in Jason Bourne after filming the third part."

"You have a wide range of acting and image." The agent agreed: "You can't be limited to one role."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw George Clint, who was entertaining in the sand, and quickly greeted: "Hi, George, are you here in person?"

Matt Damon participated in the recording of ABC TV program. Although there were factors that promoted "Spy Shadows 2", the executive of Shahai Entertainment did not need to come here in person, right?

George Clint greeted Matt Damon first and said to the agent: "The company has a series business with ABC TV."

The agent is well-informed and asked: "Season 2 of "Grey's Anatomy"?"

George Clint nodded slightly: "Season 2 has started filming and will be broadcast in the fall, but this time I come here mainly to talk about the playback of animation series."

"Animation episode?" The agent was a little surprised.

"Peppa Pig," George Clint said simply: "The one that won the best animated short film at the Oscars, we made it into an animated series and was ready to be broadcast on ABC TV."

The agent was a little amazed: "Shahai Entertainment has more and more businesses."

George Clint smiled confidently and said, "There will be more in the future, and "Peppa Pig" is just the beginning."

After chatting for a few minutes, George Clint, who had other things to do, left here.

Matt Damon looked over there and said, "Keep a good relationship with Relativity Entertainment, even if they don't cooperate with "Spy Shadows", they have other movie projects."

The agent said solemnly: "I understand."

George Grint just negotiated with ABC TV about the broadcast of "Peppa Pig".

Although he won the Oscar for Best Animation Short and brought this animated series into the sight of various TV stations, Shahai Entertainment's animation work has not yet achieved any commercially successful animation production. The premiere of "Peppa Pig" Season 1 is only a symbolic dollar.

This ten thousand dollars is of course just the copyright fee for the premiere, and does not involve any other copyright, especially the surrounding areas.

George Clint knew very well that if this kind of animation series was broadcast only on TV, it would almost cost money. The real profit was in various surrounding areas.

For example, "Transformers" and "Special Department", which have long been adapted by Shahai Entertainment, the related animation series produced by Hasbro, were paid for broadcasting on TV stations in the early days, and the cost and profit relied entirely on toys and other peripherals.

It is no exaggeration to say that the animation series that have been filmed for many seasons in succession is just a promotional video of toys.

The situation in "Peppa Pig" is different from "Transformers", but it is also somewhat similar.

The most important role of the first season is to promote and increase popularity.

George Clint knew that ABC TV was not the best platform, and the most suitable platform for super childish cartoons such as Peppa Pig, should be Disney Children's Channel.

But it is basically impossible to cooperate with Disney Children's Channel. On the one hand, Disney Children's Channel basically only plays works produced by Disney.

On the other hand, if foreign works want to be played on Disney Children's Channel, the copyright must be sold to Disney.

This is unacceptable to relativity and sand sea entertainment in any case.

Back at Shahai Entertainment, George Clint went directly to the animation studio, chatted with the person in charge Chris Renard for a while on the animation business, and then checked the progress of the new animation works.

This is the ideas and materials provided by Ronan, and the animation studio is working on a short film called "Minius".

According to the plan, after the final collaboration of the short film of "Minius", the animation studio will start the production of the first animated feature film, and the animation film "Despicable Me" that focuses on the Minions.

Originally, George Clint was still a little worried about budget issues. If an animated feature film, like Pixar Studios, requires a budget of $150 million, the risk might be too great.

After all, this is the studio's first animated feature film. Before considering success, you must first think about the risks and consequences of failure.

But the plans submitted by Animation Studio and Chris Renard made George Clint feel a little relieved. Animation Studio only needs a $60 million budget to complete "Despicable Me".

In this way, the risk is reduced by half immediately.

There is no need to worry about funding issues. The Pacific Film Foundation has been working with Shahai Entertainment for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is wearing a pair of pants.

Scott Swift of the Pacific Film Foundation just met him last week. The second phase of financing from South Korea and island countries will soon be in place. Germany is said to have investments of no less than 100 million euros this year, and several foundations in India will also have financing in place one after another.

In addition, Scott Swift has been working as a Jew, and the negotiations with some investment institutions have reached the end. The Pacific Film Foundation will not take too long to obtain investment from Jews.

There is no problem with financing, so you don’t have to worry about the production budget. All the film projects of Shahai Entertainment can be successfully launched.

After finishing the work at hand in the afternoon, George Clint met with Bryan Lord of Caa in the evening. Sand Sea Entertainment is preparing for a new film to collaborate with Will Smith. Based on the experience of the legendary stockbroker and the real American Dream Chris Gardner.

At first, Brian Lord wanted to facilitate the cooperation between Caa's top director client Spielberg and Relativity Entertainment, but both parties refused.

caa then recommended an Italian director named Gabriel Mucino, who won the audience choice award for the St. Denis Film Festival. He is a director signed by the International Department of Caa last year. He is very capable in directing drama films.

George Clint came over and discussed the possibility of Gabriel Mucino's directing with Brian Lord.

This Italian director has directed four feature films before, with a wealth of experience and is also a good candidate.

In addition, George Clint also needs to combine Will Smith's opinions.

Not only Will Smith, the superstar, will serve as a producer position, but Will Smith's vision of choosing films and looking at directors seems to be good judging from the successes in recent years.

The talk with Brian Lord went smoothly. The next day, he routinely informed Will Smith and handled many sequel movie projects that were either prepared or had started filming.

This year, Shahai Entertainment has four or five sequel movies filmed and produced. George Clint has always implemented Ronan's philosophy, and the sequel must be appropriately innovated based on the success model.

The company's successive sequels have proved the correctness of this again and again.

As for the sequel that overturned the previous success model with huge risks, the comprehensive innovation of the successful model of the previous one? Only fools would do that.

The previous movie finally attracted a group of audiences and rashly added a large amount of new content, which simply did not take inherent fans seriously.

Instead of making disruptive innovations in the sequel, it is better to shoot a new movie directly with innovative content.

George Clint is the operator of Shahai Entertainment and must ensure the company's performance.

Not to mention others, Paul Greengrass, whom he knew, is actually a subversive director who pays great attention to innovation, but "Spy Shadows 2" follows the successful model of "Spy Shadows 1". Even though Ronan gave him great trust and allowed him to lead the shooting and production of the sequel, Paul Greengrass is still very conservative and cautious in his creation.

As it turns out, Paul Greengrass's conservatism was successful.

"Spy Shadows 2" has maintained a relatively stable box office trend since its release. Just entered June, the box office in North America has reached US$231.2 million, and the world is approaching US$350 million.
