Chapter 710 Fei Mu and Cai Chusheng Chapter 711 "Television Act"(2/3)
From the first sight of these two people, I decided to drag them to DreamWorks.
They have been studying at the Corleon Film Academy for a long time and have mastered some theoretical things almost the same. Now it is time to do some practical life.
Letting them go to the crew to exercise and let them do the job of being an assistant director is very beneficial for their growth and practical abilities.
Cai Chusheng and Fei Mu gave each other a lot of glances at each other, then looked at me again, and nodded at the same time.
"Remember, being an associate director can be a good job, but not a college's homework." I taught a lesson.
"I understand, principal!" The two of them laughed.
On that night, the courtyard of DreamWorks Company was clear.
A grand reception was held in the yard.
The reason for the cocktail party was that the preparations for "Friends" were completed. Of course, for me, it was to celebrate these happy things that happened this day.
"Boss, why are you so happy today? You haven't closed your mouth since the afternoon." Gans walked up to me with a glass of wine and poked me in the waist.
"Gans, you're asking this question too badly. The boss is happy, of course, because he has found all the actors of "Friends". Once all the actors are found, the TV series can start filming. Our TV series will definitely make the United States so earth-shaking!" The fat man laughed.
"You two guessed wrongly. I think the boss is happy because of those two Chinese young people." Griffith also came over. He has followed me for so long, so he understands me the most.
"Did you notice that every time the boss sees people from China or hears good news from China, he is particularly happy. This time is no exception. But I just chatted with those two young people, which is very good!" Griffith looked at Cai Chusheng and Fei Mu not far away, and his eyes also showed appreciation.
"Boss, do you want to keep them at DreamWorks? I think it's pretty good. If these two young people are well trained, they will definitely be able to make a fortune in Hollywood." Griffith whispered.
I laughed: "David. I brought them to DreamWorks. I wanted to train them well, but it doesn't mean that I will keep them in DreamWorks after I train them."
"Why should you train them if you don't stay at DreamWorks? Do you want to send fat to someone else's mouth like Carrey Rockefeller, and it's still two pieces?" Gans was immediately displeased.
I bent down and picked a flower from the flower bed. I said in a deep voice: "The two of them do not belong here. Their roots are on the land opposite the ocean. There is the place where they rely on to live. The place where they can shine and heat. When they stay in Hollywood, they will wither. Do you understand?"
After saying this, I walked upstairs in a striking fashion, leaving Gans and the fat man stunned.
That night, a bright moon hung in the sky and above the floating clouds. There was a good moonlight leaking from the sky, like flowing water.
The breeze blows, bringing the direction of soil and flowers, and the atmosphere of the ocean.
Standing on the balcony, looking at the distance, the darkness in the distance.
My eyes seemed to have crossed the sea water all at once and explored the land opposite me, the land that I had been dreaming about but never had the opportunity to arrive.
Downstairs, Cai Chusheng and Fei Mu were surrounded by people from DreamWorks. They were laughing at each other with their dreamWorks, and their faces were bright.
“
Hope me on the mainland;
The mainland is invisible,
Only crying.
Bury me on the mountain.
Looking at my hometown;
My hometown is invisible,
Never forget.
The sky is vast,
The wilderness is vast,
Above the mountain,
State-owned sorrow”
Somehow, facing the moonlight, I suddenly recited Yu Youren's song "National Mourning" in a low voice...
8,:.]|"Friends", and then launched a massive publicity offensive in major media.
Andre Corleon, co-writer of Edward Nobel, director Victor Fleming, and starring in Hollywood top actors. Each episode has different celebrities coming to the passenger ship, one episode every week...
These propaganda slogans immediately triggered the crazy situation among the people in the United States, especially in California.
The sales of TVs have soared. Factory 3 and Factory 5 started construction day and night 24 hours a day to meet the market demand of the people. The hot situation forced DreamWorks to overload the assembly line as much as possible.
In the factory building of the Locketek TV Equipment Factory, it could accommodate up to 15 extended assembly lines, but 27 were built after taking over. The extra assembly lines could not be found in the factory building, but only on the ground.
Factory No. 5 has increased the assembly line to five times its original setting, and machines roared all night long in the company.
Major American newspapers said: "This time, DreamWorks brought a TV frenzy!"
These newspapers make a lot of sense. If DreamWorks previously aroused the public's obsession with TV by filming the TV movie "The Ten Commandments", the impact would be only very small due to geographical restrictions.
This time, with several
The construction of the tower has been completed, and the TV signal of the Lockett TV Group has covered Lifornia, which also means that in this largest state in the United States, television will play an increasingly important role. At least through the promotion of the TV series, the clues can be seen.
Of course, the people in California were happy about "Friends" appearing on TV, but people in other parts of the United States proposed to DreamWorks to make "Friends" into film and show them in the cinema because they could not see TV.
The TV series in the cinema is a joke in the eyes of later generations. But now it has become a fact.
After discussion by the board of directors, this opinion of the public was adopted by us. DreamWorks decided to screen "Friends" on TV and cinemas at the same time.
Doing so will not only meet the people's requirements, but also increase the reputation of DreamWorks, but also make huge profits. Why not do it?
Victor Fleming then took the crew to the DreamWorks shooting base to start shooting. After construction, it has long become a place as famous as the shooting bases owned by MGM and Paramount.
Just as the crew of "Friends" was filmed, the second commandment in "Ten Commandments" was filmed by Dunar, the third commandment filmed by Munau, the fourth commandment filmed by Stevenberg and the fifth commandment filmed by Stiller were almost completed at the same time.
The completion of these four TV movies caused quite a stir.
Because of the influence of the first commandment of the Ten Commandments, the people attach great importance to the Ten Commandments. Traditional sects declared the Ten Commandments as a promotional film that must be collected by various churches in the sect. This is also the second movie that traditional sects require churches in various places to be collected after the Passion of Jesus.
In mid-August, four movies were screened one after another, and were enthusiastically praised by the public and the media.
Although these four TV movies are filmed by different directors, and although each director has different styles due to its unique aesthetic taste, it has reached a high degree of agreement in terms of style, thinking, and expressiveness.
Heavy, thick, profound, caring, and redemption are a common feature of all ten TV movies in the Ten Commandments.
Among these four films, the Third Commandment filmed by Munau and the Fifth Commandment filmed by Stiller are particularly popular with the audience.
After the screening of four TV movies, DreamWorks also immediately promoted that the remaining five movies in the Ten Commandments will be brought to the screen to meet the audience at the end of August.
The success of the "Ten Commandments" series has led Hollywood filmmakers to call this TV movie: "The largest, most complex, most artistically expressive film series in Hollywood that best reflects the status of Hollywood's creations!"
This sounds long-lasting, but it is agreed by everyone.
The remaining five times the movie is also in the intense shooting process. The filming of Griffith, Flahad and others has come to an end. Visconti is in a tight time during the directing process because she starred in "Friends". Fortunately, Stiller and others have completed their work and are free to help Visconti.
In August, after some complexity and setbacks, DreamWorks' development trend was good.
What made DreamWorks boil was good news.
This good news comes from the Wheatfield Securities Investment Company, which Coolidge and Livermore jointly tweeted.
These two guys didn't know what tricks they had done, so they gathered some scattered shares of Kodak and obtained 40% of Kodak's equity at a cost of $250 million.
This action put DreamWorks in a carnival situation all of a sudden.
What makes DreamWorks happy is not that they purchased the equity, but that they have avenged a lot!
For a long time, DreamWorks has taken over Kodak, the current boss of Kodak. Sardin Eastman, and colluded with Kerry Rockefeller to become an undercurrent lurking around DreamWorks. These DreamWorks have suddenly acquired 40% of Kodak's equity at once. Although they have no controlling stake, this shows that Kodak has since become a shareholding company of DreamWorks. What actions they have in the future can definitely not be hidden from DreamWorks' eyes.
Two hundred and fifty million controls 40% of Kodak's shares. It seems to be a bit expensive to others, but in my opinion, it is a very promising investment. After all, I know the future development prospects of Kodak's company better than anyone else.
"Andre, this time Livermore and I made this move. It seems that we spent a little more money. You won't be angry, are you?" Coolidge looked at me with a smile.
"Angry? Why are you angry? I'm not too happy yet. I controlled forty percent of Kodak's shares, which is a good thing." I was overjoyed.
"I think so too." Coolidge lit a cigarette and said, "For a period of time, although the situation in DreamWorks seems to be very good, I always feel that there are great uncertainties in some places. I know John Rockefeller, the guy is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. He has a fancy to Hollywood. He will definitely not give up. In the past six months, the people of the Rockefeller Consortium have infiltrated the Los Angeles Municipal Government, and even though Thunderbolt Hua Film Company has now made a strong development momentum. In addition, there are many hidden dangers buried around DreamWorks, such as Kodak, which are also influential. I think we cannot fight back passively, but should take the initiative to attack. Only in this way can the conspiracy of Rockefeller Consortium be completely bankrupt."
Coolidge took a puff of cigarettes and said, "Kodak's company's huge industry and is the largest film manufacturer in the United States. If we can take this company, it not only means that our DreamWorks lacks danger, but also means that we have another industry with great development prospects. Livermore and I have long been eyeing this company. This time, it was coincidental that Sardinia Eastman recently made new reform measures for the company, which made many retail investors lose confidence in the development of Kodak. After Livermore and I discussed it, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we decided to take action. Unexpectedly, it was quite easy."
"That's because we both have good luck. God bless you." Livermore laughed.
"Calvin, can't we hold more shares? If we hold shares, how can we
OK?" Gans asked from the side.
Coolidge shook his head: "Holding? It's impossible now. For a large company like Kodak, the Eastman family will never let most of the company's shares be handed over to others at any time, so unless we encounter some forced situations, it's impossible for us to control Kodak. Also, the shares of Kodak have been divided up by three companies. First, the Eastman family, who control 52% of the shares, followed by our DreamWorks. They control 40%, and then the Rockefeller Consortium. They still have 8% of the shares."
"This kind of thing is artificial. It's best to be able to control shares, but we can't control shares. We are not bad now." I squeezed Coolidge's eyes.
"Andre, in addition to Kodak, Livermore and I decided to do another big deal at the end of this month, so that in September, our securities company could have 5 billion or more funds. Then we washed our hands and stopped washing our hands." Coolidge looked at me, and the expression on his face calmed down.
"The situation is very good now, and I think it's good to work for a while." Gans licked his lips greedily.
"No. Absolutely no. News from the White House that the economic development of the United States seems to have been extraordinary in recent months. I heard that the British banking industry is still going to raise funds from the United States. Most people think that this is a good thing, but I think that if you have too much money, it may not be enough. We should just stop when we see it." Coolidge said seriously.
"I agree, very much." I nodded: "You two are doing this matter, and you will stop when you see it, and you will definitely not delay it until October."
Coolidge and Livermore both nodded silently.
"Calvin, can you two reveal what big things you have?" I leaned over and asked with a smile.
Coolidge nudes at Livermore, who looked out the door alertly, then leaned into his ear and said to me: "This time, we are eyeing the Chase Bank of Rockefeller Consortium."
"Chat Bank?!" I immediately opened my eyes wide when I heard Livermore's words.
These two guys are too brave!
