American fame and fortune

"Guys, on this special day today, let's toast to Chad." In the entertainment hall of the Angel Club, Martin raised a glass of champagne and said loudly: "Cheers!"

Chad, Mene, Marcus, Chen Hu, Bradt, Kane, etc., toasted and drank together.

Martin didn't let Chad go and said, "You are the director and producer, come out and say a few words!"

Marcus encouraged: "You usually talk a lot, don't be dumb now."

Chad came in front of everyone and said seriously: "Guys, after we take a two-month break, we will start preparing for the third part. When the third part is finished, we will make more money. Only with money can we have a good life." , Only with money can you have countless beautiful women!”

"Wow!" Mene shouted loudly: "When you say that, I immediately became motivated!"

Chen Hu exposed him: "You have Celine Dion, be loyal and don't compete with us."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Boss Kane was jealous and asked Martin: "Can I have a guest role in the next movie? The requirements are not high, just die under your gun in a few scenes."

"No problem." Martin would not refuse such a small thing: "You ask Chad and Tiger to design a killer character for you."

Chad also heard it and said: "Don't worry, you are very skilled. It is designed to be a small BOSS, allowing you to show your true colors and shoot against Martin."

Kane responded: "Okay! No matter where your crew is at that time, I will also go over to participate in the filming."

Martin greeted: "Quick, quick! Write this down. This is a real tidbit that can be used in the promotion of the third film."

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Nolan: "Martin and Chad, who have been friends for many years, would fly across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean to the set in order to participate in the filming of a scene. After filming the scene, which only lasted a few minutes, they would fly again on the same day. Plane back to Los Angeles."

Mene said: "Boss, you have been infected by Director Nolan."

Martin shrugged: "Nolan is very good at publicity and marketing, a master."

Chad seemed to be touched by Kane, and his inspiration suddenly broke out. He called Marcus and Chen Hu to discuss Kane's character and action scene design, and even asked Kane to perform a quick gun shooting live.

Mene checked his watch several times.

Martin said: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

Mene scratched his head in embarrassment: "Celine arranged a plane to pick me up, and we went to Las Vegas to attend her and Reni's wedding anniversary."

"Wait a minute." Martin was confused, why did this matter suddenly become confusing: "Celine Dion's husband, Reni Angeli?"

Mene nodded: "Yes."

Martin was surprised: "Reni knows about you and Celine?"

"Celine took me to see Reni." Mene didn't think there was a problem: "Reni's cancer has recurred and has entered the advanced stage. He asked me to take good care of Celine in the future and not to let Celine down."

Martin patted Mene on the shoulder: "Pay more attention."

Mene smiled: "Boss, don't worry, I'm sure that Reni and Celine's properties are all earned by Celine, and they are basically all in Celine's name."

Martin didn't say much more, but he had heard about Renee's great deeds. Other men fell in love with a billionaire woman, but he personally trained a billionaire woman and fell asleep in the bed.

Rainey is definitely a super master of play and development. Celine Dion was signed by him when he was 12 years old. It is said that the two lived together when Celine was 14 years old.

Less than 15 minutes later, someone came over to inform Mene that the plane to pick him up was about to arrive.

Mene picked up his bag and came to the club's lawn.

Soon, a helicopter landed, and Celine Dion's head popped out of the open door, waving to Mene.

Mene quickly got on the plane, waved to the old guys, and left.

Chen Hu said: "There is no better winner in life than this."

Bradet agreed: "In the future, if I can't survive anymore, I will work as a follower to Uncle Mene."

Marcus echoed: "I'll go too, maybe I can find a rich woman too."

There is no way, Mene is too successful, causing everyone's life goals to shift to a certain extent.

As the helicopter flew away, Martin greeted: "Guys, go to the fighting ring, let's start training."

After a short two-day vacation, the main creative staff of "John Wick" are in flight mode again, running promotional announcements around the world.

The North American summer schedule is very full, with heavyweight films released every weekend. On the third weekend of May, Universal Pictures' "Bridesmaids" opened in North America.

This is the new work of Paul Feig, the famous director of the Bad Guys. There has always been a market for shitty comedies in North America.

The release of many new films such as "Bridesmaids" basically announced the death of "Pharaohs and Gods," the summer blockbuster. In its third week of release, the weekend box office fell below $3 million.

However, the box office trend of "John Wick 2" is still stable. Before the weekend, the North American box office exceeded the US$100 million mark.

In the three days over the weekend, the film took in another US$37.85 million, surpassing the US$26.24 million of the newly released "Bridesmaids" and retaining the top spot on the North American box office list.

In addition, "John Wick 2" continues to develop overseas, appearing in 15 new countries and regions this week.

The film's global box office total reached US$275 million.

At the same time, a wide range of film-related peripherals appeared in theaters, shopping malls and various chain stores in North America and Europe.

Disney’s peripheral distribution channels are no worse than Warner Bros., and they even have Disney Town as a killer.

"John Wick 2" peripherals also appeared in Disney Town.

In just ten days, nearly 30 million U.S. dollars in various peripherals were sold. Although it cannot be compared with Batman, Inception, and Pirates of the Caribbean, this result is astonishing enough for an R-rated movie.

According to relevant statistics, the merchandise of Jonathan played by Martin sells the best, followed by Winston played by Mene. The buyers are mainly middle-aged and elderly women who are relatively rational in their consumption.

Mene's agent Munir has joined WMA, and the various supporting contracts he has received can be stacked three feet high on his desk.

Atlanta, Gray Film and Television Production Center.

Although Kelly Gray's career focus has shifted to politics, she still comes here every week.

Today, as soon as the BMW she was riding in arrived at the entrance of the studio area, and before she changed the battery car, she heard a fierce quarrel broke out in the open-air studio closest to the gate.

Kelly looked over there curiously, and saw a somewhat familiar middle-aged director arguing loudly with five or six people near the slide rail where the camera was set up. At the same time, the five or six people were still arguing with each other.

All the cast and crew were watching the fun and waiting for them to finish arguing before working.

Kelly asked: "What's going on?"

Martin's old acquaintance Andrew, who has now been promoted to the head of the production center, hurriedly came over and said: "This is the crew of Warner Pictures' "Jack the Giant Catcher". Originally, the crew had been filming quietly. Last week, Warner suddenly sent a group of The new producer and production manager came over and supervised the director’s filming.”

Kelly was surprised: "A batch?"

Andrew said: "There seem to be six people. Since they came here, the crew has become a mess. All six people want to interfere with the filming and daily work of the crew. They quarrel with the director Bryan Singer every day, and then there is a fight between the six of them. We also argue every day..."

Kelly, who has a background in film and television production, couldn't help frowning: "What kind of operation is Warner Bros. doing? Can it make a good movie like this?"

Andrew shook his head: "I haven't seen it either. Warner Bros. opened my eyes!"

In the open-air studio, Bryan Singer's head grew to three sizes, and his voice was so noisy that smoke came out. He really couldn't stand the six people in front of him and was too lazy to continue arguing with them.

These people are representatives of the employer, and they will do whatever they want to do.

Bryan Singer said: "This is the scene where I gave up on the giant eating people."

"Good decision, good decision," McDonald said.

Another person shouted: "You don't have to shoot it from the front, but adding human bones here will have a better effect."

Macdonald retorted: "This is a PG or PG-13 movie, and scenes like this..."

Before he finished speaking, someone with a bald head interrupted him: "No skull."

Another middle-aged man with black hair asked: "How can we prove that the skeleton belongs to humans without a skull?"

"The pelvis and skeleton can prove it!" Someone else interjected: "You are not that ignorant, are you?"

The six producers and production managers began to quarrel loudly, like political masters with different opinions on the Internet. No one could convince anyone, so they had to take action directly.

Bryan Singer silently left the director's chair, stayed away from this land of right and wrong, and found a quiet place to sit down without saying a word.

He has been a director for nearly 20 years, starting from his first film in the early 1990s, and this is the first time he has encountered such a fucked up thing.

Bryan Singer protested and even called Warner Pictures president Jon Berg several times, but the other party insisted on this and believed it would be beneficial to the filming and production.

If it weren't for the fact that more than half of the filming was going on, the price to pay for quitting voluntarily was too high, and he would have wanted to quit.

It has been impossible to reach an agreement over there, and the whole crew is waiting.

Bryan Singer vowed not to cooperate with Warner Bros. again even if he loses his job and has no money.

What director can stand such a bad thing?

The two sides argued for another ten minutes and finally reached a compromise. Bryan Singer didn't want to argue with them anymore, so he continued filming the relevant scenes in accordance with the compromise.

Originally, he was ambitious.

Nowadays, Bryan Singer has no confidence at all.

A big production with an investment of 200 million US dollars is simply a nightmare!

After the short global publicity trip, Martin returned to Los Angeles and received a notice from Thomas that people sent by Samsung had already prepared matters related to the filming of the commercial with David Fincher and were waiting for him, the leading actor, to return. Shoot.

In order to compete with Apple on smartphones, Samsung has invested a lot of money and resources this time.

Of course, there are many others.
