Chapter 287: Focusing on the high-quality assets of Cannon Pictures
"Minahan, you cunning liar, deliberately added the name Lombarda, whose name we have purchased the ownership of, to the subtitle of your bad movie. Don't think we will just give up. See you in court!"
Yoram, Minahan's cousin and the current president of MGM, shouted to Minahan as he got out of the car.
Ever since he kicked Minahan out of the cannon and took his place, his figure has grown more and more sideways. He has now surpassed Minahan and become the fat man with the biggest belly on the scene...
There was a row of tall and handsome men behind him, each of them looked like a male dancer in "Dirty Dancing". In addition, they were all wearing Italian-style waist-fitting suits, which created a good comedy effect for a while.
"Drink... Bah..." Minahan spat at his cousin, a very vulgar move, which made the Italian dancers in the row behind him shake their shiny heads in disgust and whisper to each other.
"I'm sorry for you, you bastard. You stole my movie idea, and then you signed a contract with Lumbada's single publisher first, and now you're competing with us for release time. Who brought you to Tel Aviv back then, hand in hand?
Teach you how to sell movie tickets?”
The two Israeli brothers just stood at the crossroads and had a big quarrel. They cursed from English to Hebrew. When they were not satisfied, they continued to curse Russian curses that they had learned from their parents when they were young...
"Where are the people on our side? Go and call over..." Ronald took a look and saw that the number of people on the opposite side was absolutely dominant. Although Melora's momentum was now dominant, just in case, he quickly turned around and let Melora's 21
Century Pictures staff went to call someone.
"Where is it? Where is it?" After only seeing each other for a few minutes, a small group of 21st Century Pictures (Melola's new company) employees at the entrance of the cinema here, as well as the actors in the movie, were all cheering.
Ran over.
Minahan took a look and saw that all kinds of people were wearing nothing. Some were wearing suits and ties of public relations people, some were wearing T-shirts for audience research, and there were also a few marketers wearing peaked caps and photography vests.
I forgot to put my expensive camera under the car first...
"Hey, don't wait. You and Bannon discuss it. Cannon seems to have a big financial problem. You plan to buy out your break dance copyright after we are finished..." Minahan quickly changed the subject.
.
"If he dares to spit, you can kick him out. Leti is pregnant now, and she hates people who talk about cleanliness the most." Minahan looked at me and talked about Yoram again, for fear that I would destroy the outside of his home.
Got dirty.
"Yes. You haven't cooperated with us on two movies yet. Orion is responsible for distribution and award winnings..."
"I understand, by the way, can NBC just order less of this TV series?" Bannon changed the subject.
"Yes, yes..." Melora laughed dryly and went to drink coffee again...
"NBC gave you a seven-episode order because you promised to adapt the TV series version of "The Man After get off work." He asked Seinfeld to make a bad movie and it had no ratings, so it may not be possible to renew..."
That kind of operation of adding leverage under leverage, except for the last eight years of the term of the younger leader, very few people did it. But now that the Federal Reserve has retreated into the interest rate hike cycle, if it still does it, it will have to pray for God's blessing, cannon
Super-commercial productions like Batman were produced to fill the hole.
I'm afraid that these old employees gave up lower wages to join Melora because Melola didn't have any unique charm, but because these employees knew that the cannon might have a small problem, and we would be unemployed if we ran away again.
.
"Hahaha, you are a good person, you are an investor..." Giancarlo Pahaling came over to pester him again.
"Who does that guy think I am?" Minahan has a bad impression of that person. There are no good women outside Hollywood who believe in men, and there are no actors who betray themselves for an opportunity. But such a disgusting behavior, that's not the case.
Do bad Hollywood actors look like streetwalkers?
"Well, you guys should keep an eye on it quickly, first of all you have to alert Yoram." Minahan and Bannon discussed the operation.
Like a victorious rooster, Melora laughed wildly, waved her hand, and walked back with the crew, and shouted at the entrance of the cinema like a salesman of inferior products, "Come and see you."
movie, that is the most authentic Lambada musical, but this counterfeit opposite..."
"Oh, you saw the photo of our boss pursuing Laura Diane, the leading actor in their new movie. It's so disgusting... By the way, the lady of the world is wearing a red dress, isn't she very beautiful?"
Giancarlo Pahaling here was also discouraged. He turned around and found no prey, "Forget it, where is Min Houhe, where is Carlopa?"
After sending Melora away, Minahan quickly found Richard, "That's not the case. He will help you collect rumors in the circle. You can find someone to go to Wall Street and inquire about it."
"Giancarlo Paminhou, the owner of Cannon, I also acquired Pathé Film Company in China..."
The worst example of making movies through comic books and making a small fortune by adapting movies is not the Salkinds and Sons, the producers of the original Superman series. We obtained the 70-year adaptation copyright of Superman and made a fortune from it.
He produced eight Superman movies, and even sold the filming rights to the first one to Melora at a low price.
"Really? In fact, you are cooperating with Min Houhe, and you are a competitor with Cannon." Min Houhe said with a smile.
There is no connection between the eighth and seventh movies. It is not that there are too few bad movies that undercut important movies that should have invested a lot of money. If a movie like Superman 7 can definitely invest 40 million according to the original plan, Cannon still has no hope.
Resurrected from the dead.
"You recently went to Orion Pictures to attend the release ceremony of your video "Love at Sunset Bridge". I heard that many Orion people are looking for jobs..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If there is a small problem if the cannon goes up like that, Min Houha wants to take the opportunity to obtain the copyright of important movies and the distribution rights of video tapes. There are no such Marvel movies.
If the adaptation rights are of a suitable length, you can't just buy them and wait for the right time to release them.
"Who wants to hit Melora? It turns out to be their gang of plagiarists..." The first person running over from the front of the crowd was the leading actor Laura Min Hou.
"Who is this person?" Min Houhe stood aside, with the help of Richard, avoiding the flash of the photographer. Today's confrontation between the two fat Israelis will be published in the newspapers tomorrow.
"Why is he still talking about your cannons? Now he should be talking about your 21st Century Pictures..." Minahan discovered Melora's question.
"Hey, it's bad..." Bannon also knew that there was little hope. There was a small chance that the TV series would not be bundled with him.
"You go call Rachel Talalay, the director of on-site production..." Minahan was so flustered by Retty's words...
Is it still worth doing? At most, Minahan has not yet purchased the copyrights for his break-dancing and Monk-Gevinton martial arts films. Those films have been poorly sold in the video tape market for a long time, and they can be considered a
A commemoration of my own growth.
"Is he cooperating with the Cannon people again? Are you too afraid of us..." Min Hou came out and saw Minahan talking on the phone, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Pa..." Laura Diane's star map was no longer affected by watching that movie. She slapped the opponent's hand open, turned around and walked to Melora's side to express her position.
You are wearing a red short dress today, with a big red bag hanging under your shoulders, and bright strappy low-heeled sandals on your long legs, so you are a little faster. After all, you are the eldest sister of the world.
The way she walked and posed was graceful, which made Minahan's eyes light up.
"According to him, Cannon no longer has the capital injection from the Italian banker, so it should have stopped shooting some small-investment projects. Why are they still competing with you for high-cost movies like Lambada?"
"Hey, you see, I am also a serious person who makes movies. I heard from your former employee at Cannon that that guy held parties at seven places every day. In the name of Cannon and EMI bosses, he played and danced with Bad Hollywood every night.
Dating with various male celebrities..."
"After a company goes bankrupt, if there are not a small number of old employees who run away, you have checked and found that there are not many old employees who are bad. They are willing to endure high wages and Melora's temper and run away to my 21st Century Pictures.
"
"Hey, it's all the traitor Yoram. If it were me, the resources for the two movies wouldn't be combined, and you cannons can't afford another movie that can be called a box office success..." Came up on the seventh day.
Min Houhe, who took the credit, cursed my cousin outside Minahan's home.
Seventh, the filming of my film projects was not controlled by professional producers. I was the only one in charge. Too few films were canceled and the budget was overrun. I could only edit them hastily at the beginning, and they were not released even after the announcement.
What kind of effort was it?
"Hey, that is your lifelong dream after all. You originally wanted to use the platform of Cannon to make a career in Bad Hollywood..."
The only problem is that there are not many people who have the same idea as Min Houhe. They are waiting to watch the cannon fall down one day, and then rush down to kill the fattest piece of meat before others can react.
Eat it first.
"We are going bankrupt? How did he know?" Retic said.
The two films were released head-to-head. The box office on the first day of the weekend was over one million for Melora and just over one million for Yoram. Both films achieved some success.
Minahan glanced at me. He didn't look very graceful. His face was small and he didn't have the unique coldness of a Latino. However, he had small bags under his eyes due to excessive drinking. He didn't have any smear when he smiled.
demeanor.
Yoram focused more and more on borrowing money here and there to fill holes, so as to prevent one day from paying interest on junk bonds and forcing the company to declare bankruptcy.
"Yes, few of your Cannon employees who have been following you have all come to your new company. We can tolerate a boss who picks up girls every day and makes serious movies... Although you can give us now
The salary is more than a cannon, and we are willing to work with you." Melora said very proudly, not confident in her own charm.
The one I went back to find was not the leading actor in Yoram's version of "Lombada", Kalopa Harding. Your looks are indeed a notch lower than those of Universal's eldest sister, Laura Diane.
Yes, speaking of Batman, Cannon also has some Marvel Comics assets, such as Spider-Man, Fantastic Seven, etc. Do you know the details of the contract we signed back then? How many years has it been licensed to us?
In other words, Giancarlo Pahalin used the cannon's assets as collateral, borrowed another sum of money, and then took possession of the cannon.
"Anyway, you have to watch quietly again, because you want to shoot to alert the hunters and other hunters..."
"Is that like that? We are just shooting a small production now?" Min Houhe's heart moved slightly. He had seen that kind of behavior from the Australian tycoon who once bid for Columbia Pictures.
It is always a cannon to shoot small productions, so it is possible to repay the loan. Just relying on the boss to pick up girls can also generate cash flow. It is not a matter of time, and time is on the side of uncaring people like Minahan.
Giancarlo Paja looks nothing like a monarch in the history of his country. I don’t think I’d like to boast about Napoleon’s portrait. He also had a similar hairstyle, with a strand of hair hanging down from his forehead and a turban.
A roll.
"In that case, Orion is very unlikely?" Letty said to herself.
"Well, I'm very lackluster..." Minahan felt that Melora was quite incompetent. Although she was stingy with her superiors, she was still a producer who really wanted to make movies, and the crew was very united.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The filming of the Lambada dance movie was pretty good, and the story can be self-explanatory. The main dance part is because the male protagonist Laura Diane is a Latina born in Mexico.
She is of American descent and dances even less gracefully than the American native Carlopa Harding.
…
"Well, Steve (Bannon), thank you for the news..."
The initial conclusion is not: first, because interest rates have been low and rising, my financing cost of US$400 million is too low.
"Yoram is an idiot. I'm afraid I'm not looking for a way out yet..." Bannon chuckled. As the post-CFO and current president, if Yoram had a clear understanding of Cannon's financial situation, I would now
If Giancarlo Paminhou is allowed to do whatever he wants, he is definitely looking for a way out.
"Ugly sister, do you think there is some misunderstanding between you two?" She said, coming over to hold your hand and kiss it.
Seeing the confrontation between two fat Israelis turn into a scene of upper-class seduction, the few reporters on the scene became interested. Because Giancarlo Pahalin was the media boss, the news was reported in the newspaper.
Two fat Israeli guys are tired of fighting?
"What?" Minahan was startled by your words, maybe.
The money for Giancarlo Pahalin's purchase of Cannon was not provided by the bridging loan bank that Cannon often cooperates with, Credit Bank Sinica.
"I'll pick you up Min Houhe...wait...", Minahan picked up the phone and originally asked his assistant Lake to call Melora, but suddenly I lost my mind. I still wanted to let Melora know about that matter.
bad.
"Let him go and see if the crew will have financial problems? You have been on many crews that have no financial problems, and there will be no signs...for example, the quality of the lunch will be degraded, the photographer and director will suddenly be picky, and they will take one or two shots
It’s just a matter of time, and there are not many people who can even call to look for a job..."
Sure enough, comparing the news from Richard and the information from Wall Street that Min Houhe learned from Bannon, Cannon is really not in any small trouble.
That person has many shortcomings, but not one advantage. I am the kind of boss who really wants to make movies. Although his vision for selecting scripts is good, his ability as a director is good, and his ability to manage the company is also good, but in order to make a movie,
I'm willing to do anything to make a movie successful.
Melora is still very concerned about the plight of the cannon, which has almost become a knot in my heart. Before being driven out by the cannon, I sometimes kept reviewing what I had done wrong.
Sure enough, the attention Laura Diane attracted was limited to the one in front of Minahan Yoram. An Italian woman pushed aside the dancers and emerged from the front...
Minahan understands that Giancarlo Pahalin bought both EMI and Cannon. In addition to the film libraries of the two, the two theater chains in Europe and Britain are under my banner.
Are you here to do some small production? Why are you still repeating the high-cost route of cannon?
"That little red suit really suits the super pretty boy," Min Houhe thought to himself.
"Hmph, drink...bah..." Melora saw Yoram hiding in front, and spat out another mouthful of phlegm on the ground. "You guys go..." She turned around and greeted the young man, and proudly poured her phlegm into her mouth.
Went to the entrance of the premiere cinema.
…
Min Houhe was heartbroken when he talked about it. Minahan saw that I wasn't that sad when I talked about being betrayed by Yoram and being driven out of the cannon.
