Chapter 351： Spoiler

After Alan knocked on the door, he pushed Eric's office door and saw Eric leaning against the office chair. His expression was mixed with relaxation and exhaustion.

"What?" After Allen approached, Eric asked straight up and asked.

"When you discussed things with Mr. Lynn, Mr. Cameron called and he said that Arnold Schwarzenegger insisted on paying $13 million. If we disagree, Arnold Schwarzenegger will Signed the contract for the next film with Caroline."

When he heard the name of Caroque, Eric frowned slightly. Carol Film was one of Hollywood's most famous independent film companies in the early 1990s. In parallel time and space, Terminator 2 and Instinct From Carlock.

At the same time, Carlos is also a spoiler of the Hollywood rules, because the back of the other side is supported by a large group of German investors. In order to obtain a film of Hollywood famous movie stars, he is willing to raise the pay, directly interested in Sylvester Stallone, A Novo Schwarzenegger and others reported a $15 million sky-high price, which is almost twice as much as Hollywood’s current first-line star, and the promotion of several big-name payouts has also boosted the price of the entire Hollywood star. I can imagine how much the Hollywood seven major film companies as producers hated Carlock.

In the memory, Carolock's end is very miserable. In 1995, the $95 million pirate film "cutting the throat" only recovered more than 9 million box office, and the huge loss caused the caroline film to go bankrupt.

The reason why "Cut Throat Island" itself is full of loopholes is one aspect, but the speculation of the street is counted in the Guinness Book of Records. Behind the scenes, there are surely seven major film companies to make a bad shadow. You must know that Caroque’s star pays The price hikes have allowed the studio to pay hundreds of millions of dollars a year to the stars. This kind of thing is placed on anyone, and it is estimated that you will want to make the culprit smash.

I don't know if the script for Cut the Throat Island is now there. If there is a bomber who kills the boxer, if it is dead, it can be held in the hand. It is also a very sharp weapon to throw it out at the right time.

Seeing Eric closing his eyes is like thinking about something, Allen quietly stood opposite and patiently waiting for his decision.

I pondered the next thing about "cutting the throat". Eric quickly put his thoughts on "Terminator 2". There is no doubt that the star's pay will definitely get higher and higher in the future. Even Cameron, who has the knowledge of Schwarzenegger, can only let Shi Vasinger made a $2 million concession, and Eric believes that there are not enough chips to make Schwarzenegger make even greater concessions.

Of course, since the ultimate culprit behind the star price hike is the Germans, Eric also thought about letting the Germans do this big-handedness, introducing German investors through the original producer of Caroque, Terminator 2 Make "Terminator 2". Anyway, "Terminator 2" will be handed over to Firefly. At that time, as long as you do some hand and foot on the cost of the declaration, increase the proportion of fireflies, enough to leave most of the profits of the movie in the fireflies, and then a little, the Germans do not even want to take back all the funds invested.

But in this case, it will involve the copyright issue of "Terminator". If other movies are okay, but Eric has already fully obtained the "Terminator" big gold mine, it will never allow the copyright of this series. An unexpected accident has occurred.

Some time ago, I saw the copyright lawsuit of the 007 series in the newspaper. It is said that the lawsuit has been played for more than 20 years. Eric can't hope that the Terminator will fall into such entangled copyright lawsuits.

"I have to wait and talk to Jim to discuss this matter," and Eric clarified all the thoughts.

Allen nodded. Just about to go out, Eric yelled at the assistant again: "Right, help me to pay attention to the movie scripts about pirates in the circle, low-key, don't say anything."

"I understand," Allen laughed and asked: "Is there anything else?"

"No, after attending the premiere of "Together with the Enemy" tonight, I will prepare "The Surprise Point" with Ms. Catherine Bigelow in the next few days. So I will not come to the company, important documents. You go directly to the Sharp Point Manor. There is an urgent need to call my mobile phone."

"Don't you follow me?" Allen asked puzzledly. Eric used to do this with him.

Eric didn't shake his head: "No. There are more things in the company during this time. I hope that you can look after me here."

"Well then," Allen nodded and turned away from the office.

The summer file entered the second half of June, and the first film released by the Firefly Summer, "The Silent Lamb," was released for two weeks. The plot of the singer and the actor’s superb performance, and the influence of several female producers. In two weeks, I got a box office of nearly 40 million US dollars. If I didn't raise the budget to save the budget, I have already recovered the cost. At the same time, many film critics predict that this movie will become the 1973 "Exorcist" and then An Oscar hot horror film.

In this case, another thriller by Julia's firefly, "The Sleeping with the Enemy", has of course attracted a lot of attention. In addition, the propaganda work of "Instinct" has begun, which is another crime. horror film.

Although some tabloids are sour and sloppy, Eric is assimilated by the new line's production style because of the acquisition of the new line, but the savvy Hollywood film executives are closely watching the three movies.

If both "sleep with the enemy" and "instinct" have a box office success, Hollywood will certainly increase the number of horror-sounding types in the next few years. Driven by profits, Hollywood will follow suit, but the Western copyright protection strategy and production cost restrictions make Hollywood's follow-up not as unscrupulous as the Hong Kong port opposite the ocean.

Several screenings before "The Sleeping with the Enemy", the evaluation of the film critics is not too high, although it can not be said that it is a bad film, but it can only give a mediocre evaluation, except for Julia's performance is remarkable. There are no other highlights outside.

Of course, under the public relations of Robert Shea, the film reviews published in the newspapers in the early stage of the film release were mostly praised.

Then, in the dot-shooting, the good reaction of the movie in the fan community was given to Robert Shea’s reassurance. As long as it was able to sell at the box office, Robert Shea would not care what the film critics would say, if it was not the audience of this era. Most of the films passed the film reviews in the newspaper, and Robert Shea estimates that even the film critics are too lazy to public relations. (To be continued)
