Chapter 123 Prosperous Universal Pictures
Universal Studios Studios is located between Burbank and Hollywood!
In terms of the majesty of the studios, Universal Pictures is far behind MGM.
On only 12 acres of land, two castle gates with a height of 6 meters were built. Various movie posters at the gate were framed in glass frames. Tao Xi was also lucky enough to see Sophie starring in these photo frames.
Out of Africa]!
"Hey! If your girlfriend is spotted by Universal Studios, you will make a lot of money!"
After hearing this, Tao Xi took a copy of the [Good Morning America] special issue from the newspaper at the entrance of Universal Studios and handed it to Jerry Bruckheimer and complained: "You said even a newspaper knows that Sophie...
Marceau is a newcomer that [Neil United Cinemas] strongly supports, does Universal Pictures know?"
Jerry saw the headlines on the front page of "Good Morning America" [The movie "Out of Africa" welcomes the best cast in history, with British goddess Audrey Hepburn and French flower Sophie Marceau joining the cast]
The picture on the front page of the newspaper was of Audrey Hepburn and Sophie Marceau, old and young, cuddling together happily.
"Do you know anyone from ABC?"
When Tao Xi heard Jerry's words, she immediately complained with dissatisfaction: "Of course I know! I am ABC's Queen Nightcrawler, and damn Emily betrayed me just to flatter her teacher's stinky feet! Now
ABC is no longer Metropolitan, but damn Disney! I helped Disney sell nearly 40,000 CDs of his Pinocchio, and that’s why he gave me such a worthless newspaper headline.”
"what the fxxk?"
"Are you sure you're not kidding me? You! Sold 40,000 copies of the CD?"
Tao Xi asked back with a questioning look on his face: "That's right! 40,000 copies, are you surprised? Neal's Hot Dog chain is not just a restaurant that sells hot dogs, it is also the largest pirated CD sales outlet in California!"
"Oh! My God!" Jerry Bruckheimer seemed to have discovered some strange new continent. He kept pestering Tao Xi and asked him how on earth he managed to win "Pinocchio" in just 14 days after it was released.
He sold so many CDs.
"It's very simple! The cost of pirated CDs is very low. Join you and buy a genuine [Pinocchio] and I will give you a pirated CD of [Ghostbusters]. Do you want to buy it?"
When Jerry heard this, he immediately stopped and walked around Tao Xi with his big eyes staring: "If Columbia Pictures knew about this, they would definitely sue you and go bankrupt!"
"Oh, sue? I'm just the seller. What he really should arrest are the Mexicans! I will only pay a fine for this, and the profits from the pirated CDs are enough for me to pay the fine!"
Tao Xi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, in fact, when Old West learned about this incident at first, he was also very dissatisfied.
After all, Tao Xi has a plan to list [Neil's Hot Dog Restaurant Chain]. It's really inappropriate to leave such a stain for no reason, but Tao Xi really has no way to control this matter. Although the restaurant borrows [Neil's Hot Dog Restaurant Chain]
United Cinemas] has accelerated its pace of expansion, but many stores cannot keep up due to publicity, and the stores' daily income will certainly not be able to cover the costs.
So Tao Xi came up with this method under Nilta's suggestion. This was also the way he was anxious to turn the 10 million US dollars in his hand into something that could be spent!
"Don't worry about these details, just do what you should do well."
Jerry Bruckheimer stopped arguing after hearing Taosi's perfunctory words. How can they, a group of people who hang out in Hollywood, be so noble?
Jerry Bruckheimer seemed to be very familiar with the inside of the studio, and he led Tao Xi to a studio marked [Mask] in a zigzag manner.
"This is the set of The Mask! But the filming of the movie has already been completed. I guess Peter Bogdanovich will definitely have time to take over this movie."
The studio and the editing room were very close. As soon as Jerry opened the door to the editing room, a strong smell of tobacco wafted out of the room, and there were several big men lying around inside.
"Jerry! Oh! fxxk, aren't you planning to film [Top Gun] recently? Why did you remember to come here?" Peter Bogdanovich, who woke up immediately, rubbed his still bloodshot
He asked with drowsy eyes.
"Look at the script! [Ghost Story], you only have 7 days to see if you can film it. And I heard you said that your photography team will be disbanded soon."
Tao Xi looked at this simple editing room, which was far inferior to the 007 editing room he had seen before.
The editing room here only has one computer, a big screen, a water dispenser, and two sofas. The 007 editing room that Tao Xi saw before was much larger than this one. The computers used for editing alone were 15
There are so many platforms.
"7 days! How much?"
When Jerry Bruckheimer heard this, he turned and glanced at Tao Xi, who waved his hand nonchalantly: "100,000 US dollars? 200,000 US dollars?"
When Peter Bogdanovich heard Tausi's words, he immediately dropped the script at his feet.
Tao Xi lowered his head and picked up the script without getting angry. Instead, he waited for Jerry Bruckheimer to solve the problem. Tao Xi walked out on his own in order to give Jerry and his friends some private space.
At the door of the editing room, some behind-the-scenes photos that the crew had already prepared were posted on the wall. Tausett simply glanced at the photos on the wall and knew that the person named Peter Bogdanovich inside was another one.
Independent artistic director.
Just when Tao Xi was wandering around the filming area of the movie "Mask" in a very bored way, a lively voice suddenly came from nearby: "Meryls is here! Merrils is here to visit!"
Tao Xi, who stretched his head to look out, did not see who Meryls was. Instead, he saw a person in the middle surrounded by a large group of people walking towards the crew opposite the [Mask].
Tao Xi didn't see the name of the crew because it was too far away, but it was the first time that Tao Xi saw the aura of a big Hollywood star!
There were crowds of fans everywhere, and even the cars chartered by celebrities who came to visit were extraordinary, with ice cream, fast food, and French fries.
"It's a deal!" Jerry Bruckheimer, with his hands in his pockets, walked behind Tao Xi with a happy face.
Tao Xi looked back at Jerry and asked, "What conditions does he want?"
"Don't let him not sign! You need to pay him 200,000 US dollars in labor costs. He opened a film distribution company with his friends, and he needs money to keep the entire photography team."
