53: Interview with Michael Bay

The previous life "Titanic" experienced countless twists and turns before its release.

If Paramount Pictures were not taken over in the end, the investment in this movie almost caused Fox, one of the eight major film and television companies in Hollywood, to go bankrupt!

In addition, director Cameron has spent all the production budget of $135 million invested by Fox and wants to add $60 million. At this time, the additional cost will undoubtedly make Fox, which was originally going to file for bankruptcy, worsen.

Cameron is one of the most stubborn directors in film history.

It is said that he told his boss directly that if he didn't invest money, he would commit suicide!

So at this time, another film company Paramount joined the production and provided a cost of 65 million yuan, but the premise was to buy out the distribution rights in North America. It took 5 years to finally be completed. "Titanic" was successfully completed and was released in North America on December 19, 1997.

It is precisely because of the money-making ability of this "Titanic" that Fox Pictures, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, has been back to life until today~

Paramount also competed with Walt Disney and Sony Entertainment in Hollywood because of this movie, forming a three-legged stalemate, which lasted for six years!

Although the box office success of "Titanic" in this lifetime was under Herman's investment, the movie was unexpected when it was about to be released in North America.

[A group of Hollywood giants led by Paramount Pictures successfully obtained the third 45-day extension key on the grounds that "the production cost of "Titanic" is too high!"]

Although only the news channel of BBL Voice TV reported a postponement explanation of the movie "49 words", the American melon-eating crowd was talking about it with the mentality of "the smaller the number of words, the bigger the matter".

Because Hollywood Pictures and Film Association, the Hollywood Academy has been fighting each other once or twice, but this time the incident seems to be a bit big, which is not a trivial matter for everyone!

However, some media tabloids said that Shirley Lansing once said at a private banquet: "When capital finds something profitable, all conservative forces are native chickens and tiles!"

This sentence caused a hot topic in the United States for a while, but this matter was just the beginning, because Jennifer Connery, the first shareholder of the behemoth [bbl Global Theater], who just became independent from BBL Voice, stood up and spoke out: "I hope that everyone in Hollywood can give more opportunities to some large-cost production companies. If the conservatives in Hollywood continue, I believe that as part of Hollywood, we will never be able to restore Hollywood to a glorious period!"

Until Jennifer Connery, a female star who was so popular in Hollywood, spoke out, all the "noise" in Hollywood has returned to dust and soil!

In fact, all this is because of "Titanic" recreating the classic scene of Herman's previous life!

In the early stage of the release, it was indeed as Herman expected. The box office in the first weekend was only US$27.6 million. Although the major magazines praised it, it still became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. Only Herman and Cameron believed that miracles would happen~

Sure enough, in the second week, the box office rebounded strongly, unexpectedly reaching US$60 million, and then to 70 million in the third week, the box office showed a counter-growth trend.

What's even more terrifying is that the fourth and fifth weeks... are still firmly on the verge of over 20 million a week

The popularity of "Titanic" in 1997 has become a foregone conclusion. No ***** can cover up her sharpness. Jennifer Connery's domineering declaration also made all Hollywood reporters move!

But unfortunately, Jennifer Connery is not in the United States.

But these did not cause difficulties for this group of reporters, so everyone who had something to do with her was interviewed, including Herman's good friend Michael Bay.

At this time, Michael Bay had just finished producing the single "My Heart Eternal" for Jennifer Connery. The people who were shooting big movies worked in an orderly manner under the command of Michael Bay.

Jerry Brookheimer, carrying a large bag of food, put down the things and said with a complaining look: "It's Herman. If it were someone else, I would have to blow his head!"

When Michael Bay saw his old friend's expression of dissatisfaction, he directly retorted: "You are bragging in front of me."

"The schedule for Bruce Willis to star in "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" has been confirmed, but this time it was not Herman's investment, but Touchstone Film."

"Okay! I have no problem here! I think if it's a Disney movie, Hermann might not have it released in South America, so the cost would be smaller!"

As soon as Michael Bay finished speaking, the door suddenly started to quarrel, making him feel a little confused. Jerry Brookheimer, who was standing beside him, replied calmly: "Don't panic, it's because Jennifer issued a statement some time ago. You should know what to say and what not to say!"

After a moment of silence, Michael Bay quickly remembered the movie James Cameron. Thinking of this, Michael Bay couldn't help but suck his back teeth. After all, shooting a movie that can be famous in history is the dream of every commercial director.

"Mr. Michael, I heard that Ms. Jennifer Connery's first single album was produced by you, but as the director of the 100 million yuan film club, are you disgusted and feel that the other party is overwhelming?"

Michael Bay just went out and the first question he heard was that this reporter must have a grudge against him!

Because this question is a question that he is planning to have no way to survive~ Michael Bay rolled his eyes at the reporter, intending to find a relatively neutral question to answer the meaning.

"Mr. Director, I heard that your boyfriend with Mr. Jerry and Ms. Jennifer Connery is an old friend, so you can answer me, what do you think of that gentleman?"

After Michael heard this question, his eyes lit up and pulled the microphone from the reporter's hand with his hand and replied: "Oh! I think I can tell the story of that gentleman for three days and three nights, but I will tell you a long story short and borrow a sentence from my friend Jerry to answer you!"

"He just treats Hollywood as an ATM, now, in the past, and in the future!" After Michael Bay said this, he returned the microphone to the reporter and patted his hands proudly~

After hearing this, Jerry Brookheimer, who was hiding in the house, heard this, for some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching.

"Michael Bay heard that you are very good friends with Ms. Jennifer Connery and Ms. Winona Reilly, but you can tell me how they turned enemies into friends!"

Michael Bay suddenly felt a seventh-level storm in his heart: "Damn, you are you damn reporter again! Do you want the movie I made in the future to be banned in South America? Can I tell you that it is because Winona is not good at her belly and can't give up her child, so she automatically admits defeat!"

Although he thought so in his heart, Michael Bay still smiled and looked for a question that was both important and serious. After answering it, he returned to his house proudly!

"This group of reporters was afraid that Herman's backyard would be too stable, and every problem would put me in danger of unemployment!" Michael Bay was holding a glass of red wine in his hand and was about to hand it to Jerry Brookheimer, who was opposite, but found that his old friend's face was already staring at him with a very bad expression, and asked gritting his teeth: "Do you want me to be whipped by those women?"

"I also want to ask Winona to help me with the release of the South American film. Did you say that again with your backhand?"

"Tsk! Don't worry, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge!" Michael Bell returned to his house as if nothing had happened, leaving Jerry Brookheimer alone here sulking.

After watching Michael Bay's answer on TV with a calm expression, Charlize Theron turned his head and looked at some restless agents and asked back: "I think my career is over. No one is willing to release my movie except some independent theaters!"

Minor Carson, the agent of the demonic spirit, chased a "orchid finger" and was also a little restless at this moment, because he didn't expect that he just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "General Rich Mr. Herman", but he never thought that the other party's counterattack was so fierce!

"What should I do? Because Macy's and One Yuan Treasure Hunt are now one of the largest advertisers in the United States, and all the media are also abiding by the rules and deliberately weakening Herman's existence!"

"We can't jump out and clarify that we have nothing to do with Herman!!!" Charlize Theron sat on the sofa with a look of indifference, because he was wearing a low-neck sweater, and he didn't care if the big piece of meat on his chest was exposed!

The two of them just looked at me and I looked at you, without any communication.

Herman, who is on vacation in Mauritius, has been a little irritable recently, not because of his family, but because the British capitalists are like stones in the pit.

Everyone knows what I have done!

The group of people led by the British Chemical Corporation actually pretended to be fine. The move of "cutting flesh and feeding the eagle" directly made Herman's previous efforts was wasted, and he directly [reversely condemned the military-industrial enterprise "Hawke Sidley" for illegally selling arms despite the "international agreement agreement"]!

The other party actually stood in the same trench with Herman and accused the same interest group of people, which made Herman autistic.

"This wave of operations is so amazing!" After hearing this news, Herman was so angry that he smashed the enamel jar in his hand on the wall. The tea leaves that had been soaked were directly sputtered everywhere~

Buryyus Knapp rubbed his hair with a dusty face: "I'm not a fool, stand there and get beaten!"

"The people from Imperial Chemical Industry are also timid in Africa recently. It seems that they have suffered such a public opinion crisis, so they probably are not feeling well now!"

Herman hesitated for a moment and continued: "The helpers of the Imperial Chemical Industry Group now include Lloyds Bank, Hawke Sidley Group, Rank Corporation, International Reed Corporation, Independent Broadcasting Corporation!"

"Because of these people, we can't deal with them for a while. I think it's still necessary to hit a snake. I have to find a way to make their cash flow crisis!"

Buryus Knapp said casually: "Haha, now the terrorist attacks in the UK every few days, I guess they are also anxious to solve us first and then deal with their messy matters!"

When Herman heard Buryus Knapp's words, he seemed to suddenly realize something and turned his head and walked towards his manor without saying a word.

When Buryus Knapp saw Herman leaving the conference room, he hurriedly chased and asked Herman: "Why are you doing?"

"The world is big, and sleeping the most. Don't say so much nonsense, just sleep and talk about it!" Herman entered his room without looking back~

Buryyus Knapp shook his head helplessly and walked towards his residence!

When Herman returned to the house, he ignored the crowd of people in the house and was still walking towards his bedroom with all his worries. Lilith and Jennifer Connery were teasing Herman's young son.

Jennifer Connery was about to call Herman, but Lilith shook her head and signaled not to

Herman returned to the room, pulled the curtains, locked the door, and threw the clothes and pants into the quilt.

Herman knew that since the 1970s, the people of London and even the entire British people had been in peace. At that time, the terrorist forces almost completely turned London into a time bomb, causing Britain to be almost surrounded by enemies.

All of this basically comes from an organization, the IRA, and IRA.

From 1970 to 1997, bomb terrorist attacks occurred almost every year in London.

So Herman wanted to use his gold finger to see if there were any opportunities recently. The logic of such a thing is very simple!

If such a thing happens, the economic environment and financial markets of the entire country will definitely regress briefly and enter a stage of plunge.

So Herman felt that "hitting snakes three inches" and wanted to use his dream to see if there is such an opportunity!

After all, the City of London in the UK is a place where many European capitalists are most keen to gather and invest. If Herman can defeat the Imperial Chemical Group in this old empire and make profits from it~

Then Herman's status is likely to be promoted once again within the Rockefeller Consortium!

At this time, the UK was hosting the 1996 European Football Championship. After all, it was a football championship held every four years, allowing the whole of Europe to participate in this "visual feast".
