Chapter 751

In mid September.

A five-star hotel in the Burbank area of Los Angeles.

Today, Universal Pictures, one of the six largest Hollywood companies, is holding a celebration event here for the great success of the movie "spy films" and inviting celebrities from all walks of life to participate.

"The venue is a five-star hotel. Take a look at the red carpet and many reporters here... Tut tut ~ Universal Pictures has not spent less money this time!"

Said Gusta, a Canadian banker and owner of Lion Gate pictures.

Wen Yan, one of the top three entertainment giants who came with him, sneered: "it's not a little money. It's nothing more than a celebration banquet of" spy film ", declaring to the outside world that universal pictures is still strong and won't be influenced by its parent company Vivendi group. The purpose, we all see... Very clear. "

Many nodded in agreement.

In June 2002, the crisis of Vivendi group in France made it a media giant with more than 140 billion euro. In a short period of one month, its market value was only over 800 million euro.

It's amazing.

Countless people eat a wave of melons!

At the same time, Universal Pictures Group, as a very important part of Vivendi group, inevitably forms a disaster!

Now more than two months have passed, Vivendi group has not been able to slow down. It can only sell off the group's assets continuously to tide over the crisis.

As a result, Universal Pictures... Now has become a goal that many people want to start with!

"There are a lot of buyers."

Gusta sighed.

"Of course, there will be no shortage. After all, there are three nails in every broken ship, let alone Universal Pictures Group."

Patrick, one of the top three entertainment giants, said with a smile: "don't forget that universal owns the film rights of" back to the future "," Jurassic Park "," Mummy "," Frankenstein "and so on, which are all the front-line rights of Hollywood. Ask, who does not move

After a pause, he added: "it is said that at present, there are only two powerful companies that can take over global power from Vivendi, namely, Zhuke Wald and general electric company."

Gusta nodded, suddenly saw a familiar figure, Nuo Nuo chin, said with a smile: "who said who arrived. Look, man, here comes Mike. "

"Oh, it's him!"

Michael Alonso, male, 51 years old, works for NBC, one of the top five public TV stations in the United States. He holds the post of chief executive and is one of the top media figures.

Since Vivendi's crisis, GE has been trying to buy Universal Pictures from Vivendi and merge it with NBC to become a company.

I've got the name, NBC Universal.

Martin Evans, one of GE's major shareholders, is the leader of the acquisition project team set up by GE, while Mike Alonso, NBC's executive director, is the deputy leader.

"In the words of Eastern countries, this is Sima Zhao's way of thinking. Everyone knows that Mike's trip to the celebration banquet of" spy film "must be with the idea of acquiring Universal Pictures." Gusta said with a slight smile.

"You're right. I expect someone from Wald pictures will come, too." Said Patrick.

Sure enough

Just ten minutes later, Kevin Fitch, President of Wald pictures, was on the scene, accompanied by Alexander, former chief assistant of Zucker.

"Good evening, Matt. I went to the cinema to see the spy film you played. Wow, the agent Bourne you played is really wonderful. "

At the moment, Alexander is very enthusiastic with the "spy" film series actor Matt Damon exchange.

"Spy shadow", "mind catcher", "the Inferno", "the Great Wall", "Mars rescue"

wait.

These films are the representative works of Matt Damon.

In particular, recently released "spy film", it can be said that the reputation is excellent. In terms of the subject matter of secret service films, his role as Bourne, Ethan of the "mission impossible" series and bond of the "007" series are known as the most classic "three agents".

Matt Damon hugged Alexander warmly and said with a smile, "welcome, man. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yes."

"Man, I hear you've been promoted to the post of deputy director of production at Wald pictures. My God, it seems that if I want to play in your company's movies in the future, it must be approved by you. No, I have to please you now for my future

Matt Damon is also a human being. He is extremely well-informed about the news in the industry.

Cooperation?

All over Hollywood, who doesn't know the name of Wald film?

Even when it comes to Matt Damon's status today, he is eager to work with Wald pictures once. Well, it's not a guest show, it's a regular male one.

Alexander pondered for a while, said: "when it comes to cooperation, you don't say, there may really be a chance."

"Eh?"

Matt Damon was just polite, but he didn't expect any unexpected results. He immediately asked more enthusiastically, "my best friend, tell me about it."

——"The infernal Walker"!

It is a police and bandit film, which is a remake of the Hong Kong Film Infernal Affairs. It tells the story of the Boston Mafia and the police training each other's undercover agents, placing them inside each other, and fighting each other's wisdom and courage.

Compared with the Hong Kong version of the original version of Infernal Affairs, the lines are cautious and the painting style is elegant, but the style of the American version of Infernal Affairs has changed greatly, becoming more aggressive and violent, echoing the old American audience's consistent viewing style.

Infernal Affairs is excellent;

"The departed" is not bad either. After its release, it not only exploded at the box office, but also won the best director, best adapted screenplay, best editing and best film awards in the 79th Academy Awards.

"Remake, adaptation of the film?"

"Or from China, Hong Kong, OK?"

"What's more, the original version of Infernal Affairs hasn't been released yet?"

Matt Damon was a little disappointed.

He thought it would be an opportunity to have a good relationship with Wald pictures, but he never thought it would be a remake. Suddenly, his interest was greatly reduced.

"Ha ha!"

Alexander narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "what if I said... It was a project led by Mr. Wald himself?"

"Is that true?"

Matt Damon's face turned pale, disappointed and excited.

Everyone in Hollywood knows one thing, that is, the project led by Zhuke himself is absolutely not bad, no, to be exact, it is extremely excellent.

"The first watch" is presented.
