How influential can a gossip news have? The subsequent development is very fantastic.

Just as Wayne returned to the farm and began to taste his mother's food and talked about football with his father, the news about him in Los Angeles began to spread strangely.

In fact, most of the people in the circle who care about this news, especially executives of large companies, think it was fake in their first reaction, but a few of them were thinking of trying it out. Even if the matter was fake, they would not lose anything.

Before getting off work that night, Paramount Ceo, who had been busy for a day, sat alone behind the desk, staring at the newspaper in front of him in a daze.

The currently being released "Brave Heart" is far from the company's expected box office. The film has been released for almost a week and has not exceeded 20 million US dollars. It can be said that it has basically declared a failure.

If this film wants to recover investment costs in the theater market, it will either start to explode now and the box office will continue to rise against the trend, or it will only choose the winning strategy. Through the powerful Oscar marketing capabilities, the film will be returned to the theater and re-screened.

It can be said that both methods are difficult to achieve, especially the Academy Awards. If you want to make a difference during the awards season, you will definitely have to spend a lot of media resources and a large amount of public relations funds.

Once I got nothing at the award ceremony, all of these early investments were wasted.

The production cost of "Brave Heart" was invested 72 million US dollars, and the subsequent promotion and promotion investment was about 30 million US dollars. If you want to recover the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars online, the global box office of the film must reach at least three to four times the production cost.

Since Shirley Lansing took over Paramount, several investments can be said to be invincible. The glory of "The Legend of Ah*" is still vivid in my mind. She only took a very short time to lead the old film giant out of the turmoil of being acquired.

Perhaps Paramount's performance is not one of the best two companies in recent years. Compared with Columbia after being acquired, anyone with discerning eyes can see how powerful the woman Shirley Lansing is.

The most troublesome thing about this rare female executive now is not "Brave Heart". This film is based on the current trend. Even if the cost cannot be recovered through theater screenings, it will not be too difficult to recover investment after the film is removed from the screening.

The one who made her head hurt the most now was the tyrant on the set of James Cameron.

Since the launch of the Titanic project, several years have passed. Seeing that 95 years have passed, the crew has not started filming for a long time.

Not only Paramount, but also the 20th Century Fox, which was investing together, is also very troubled by this mess.

Shirley Lansing had been on the phone with Townsend Rossman more than once. Facing this project that was neither up nor down, they talked many times, but did not come up with a satisfactory solution.

But James Cameron not only did not rush to start shooting, but also sought investment over and over again. He also invested more than $150 million in production costs in the two companies.

Now that this big ship project has become a joke in the circle, they have to pinch their noses and continue to add production costs, praying that the truck driver will start shooting as soon as possible.

And today's gossip news reminded Shirley Lansing.

After Hollywood entered the 1990s, who was the most famous director of the Fast Gunner? There is no doubt that the directors who can guarantee both the shooting speed and the quality of the film were the only two Jews, Steven Spielberg and Wayne Greenberg.

In fact, in terms of the type of "Titanic", Steven Spielberg is the best director, but the other party is determined to be at the growth of DreamWorks, and there is no possibility at all.

The rest is nothing more than Wayne Greenberg, but even if the other party really breaks with Warner Bros., it is still unknown whether he can agree to this matter, and the production style of the film is tantamount to a big adventure.

"There's no other way, James, I've given you enough patience!"

With a "bang", Shirley Lansing slapped the newspaper on the table, her eyes filled with the light of a gambler. She picked up the phone and dialed Townsend Rossman's number.

Although the two of them did not work very happily in the film "Brave Heart" and Paramount was arranged by 20th Century Fox, these are normal business behaviors. Sherry Lansing believed that she would switch positions, so she would do the same.

Also, in the face of the huge investment of "Titanic", both sides must come up with a solution. If this continues, this mud pit will only make both sides fall deeper and deeper.

"hello, Townsend, I have a suggestion about "Titanic" and I want to talk to you. Yes, maybe we can try another option and replace the irritable truck driver. Yes, have you noticed a piece of news today..."

"No problem, I can try to talk to him, but I can't ensure the result. The little bit of love I helped him release "Happy Death Day" must be insufficient to influence the young man. Well, I will try my best!"

"Okay, then that's it, I hope everything goes well, thank you..."

The call time was only ten minutes. They didn't talk about the specific content, let alone how to impress the young man, because they all knew that if they wanted to ask Wayne Greenberg to take action, they would have to pay at least a sky-high pay plus box office share, which would definitely not be lower than Spielberg's contract for filming "Jurassic Park".

The value of this young director is indeed worth paying a sky-high contract. Even so, in addition to Warner Brothers, you may not have the chance to let him take action with a sky-high share contract!

After hanging up the phone, Shirley Lansing, breathed a sigh of relief, took a look at the time, put on her coat and got off work.

She has done everything she can do, and the final result can only be handed over to God, not her.

They have proposed changing directors more than once, but there are too many things involved. This proposal has been discussed many times in the past two years, but every time it ends in failure due to the candidate issue.

Townsend Rossman, who is far away in the Fox Building in Century City, is not as relaxed as his partner. Since he hangs up the phone, he has been looking out the window and thinking.

If Paramount Ceo was here, he would definitely see at a glance that the same gossip tabloids were placed on his desk, and not just that one, but a dozen were piled up together.

There are common features on top of each newspaper that are circled with a pen.

There is probably no one in the entire Hollywood world who cares more about the authenticity of this matter than Townsend Rossman.

Since the news appeared, he immediately sent people from newspapers and newspapers to find the source of the news. A day later, the paparazzi who finally locked in the photo took the photos came from a gossip tabloid under Time Warner, which made him even more confused.

But no matter what, even if there is only a slight possibility, he has to try it out with all his strength, and he still has an advantage that no one else has at all.

Thinking of this, Townsend Rossman did not hesitate at all. He threw all the newspapers and investigation reports into the paper shredder, put on his coat and left the Fox Building.

After having a warm dinner with my wife, I held a glass of red wine alone, looked at the time, picked up the phone in the study, and dialed a number that was both familiar and very unfamiliar.

The phone rings a few times before someone answered it. "Hi, Anna, I'm Townsend, is Ruben there?"

"Townsen? What's wrong with you looking for Ruben?" The other party's confusion sounded on the phone, and it could be heard from his tone. Anna Greenberg was very surprised to receive his call.

"They were all in the study, Ruben and Wayne, and his big bodyguard, who had been fiddling with the broken guns since they had supper, and now, would you like to call him for you?"

"No, it's the same as you." Townsend Rossman let out a hearty laugh, and the voice of the woman coming from the phone seemed to bring him back twenty years ago.

"I'm going to visit the farm tomorrow and talk to old friends I haven't seen for so many years. How about it? Is it welcome?"

"What? I mean of course! If Reuben knew you would come over, he would be very happy."

"Okay, then that's it, I'll probably go there tomorrow morning. Anna, I've prepared a gift for you, which is definitely a surprise you can't guess..."

After the phone hung up, Townsend Rossman looked up and saw his wife, staring at him with inquiring eyes.

He smiled bitterly, raised his hands and made a surrender gesture. "Dear, I don't want to disturb their quiet life, but Ruben's son performed too well, and this may be the highest success rate."

"I didn't blame you. I never care about your work." My wife was as gentle as ever, looked at him and turned away from the study. "Go to rest early and don't work until too late."

They have been married for decades, and Townsend Rossman himself is convinced that his wife, who is generous and gentle, has to be at least half the credit for her success in her work.

He glanced at the safe in the corner and recalled Anna's hobbies when she was young. He smiled and stood up and turned off the lights, and walked towards the bedroom.

No matter what, he has made all the preparations he should have, and the rest is nothing more than having a good night's sleep and then trying according to the plan.

As for the director-changing proposal of Shirley Lansing, he didn't even think about it, and pressed the negative button in his heart. Let Wayne Greenberg shoot a romance film? This proposal seems to him as a horror story!

I'm afraid that after the film finally comes, Ruth and Jack will not only have no beautiful love, but also full of dark intrigues. He has reason to believe that Wayne can definitely do it and let Jack stab Ruth to death with his own hands.

On the contrary, Wayne Greenberg's most prominent ability now lies in operating superheroes, and Twentieth Century Fox happens to have a treasure-style comic copyright!

The series of characters and stories in this comic are naturally full of dark attributes, and are perfect for the other party's production style.
