Chapter 102: Break the age limit
Negotiations with Google's two founders were disappointing.
Dunn showed the greatest sincerity, and also showed his future industrial layout to Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Although one is a technology company and the other is an entertainment company, they will definitely complement each other and complement each other.
Even Dunn made contacts and personally invited all Google employees to watch Star Wars in the internal VIP movie theater of Twentieth Century Fox.
But a genius is a genius. Even if Larry Page is younger than Dunn now, when it comes to his own interests, he will not give in an inch, and give Dunn a maximum of 10% of his equity.
For the other 10%, Google will raise from Wall Street investment banks.
It is conceivable that after the $25 million is obtained, with the strength of Google, it will no longer need any financing, just wait for the listing.
That means, before that, Dunn could only hold 10% of Google's shares.
This is somewhat different from the understanding that Dunn had brought to him from the online novels he had read before.
This is a real society, no one is the protagonist and no one is a fool.
Dunn's entry into the field of science and technology was not smooth. Fortunately, he is a director, and in terms of movies... he is impeccable.
His new film, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man," was officially released in North America on May 19.
And then... a complete explosion!
May 19th is Wednesday, a working day.
According to the "Wall Street Times" report, on this day, more than 2.2 million full-time employees in the United States were absent from work for various reasons and chose to watch movies. This situation directly caused economic losses of no less than 300 million US dollars.
And the movie ticket was fired up to $100 a piece by the ticket dealer!
On the same day, "Star Wars Episode 1" was released in 3,025 movie theaters in the United States. On this working day, it created a single-day box office record of 33.79 million US dollars!
The trend of Star Wars, like a virus, has spread throughout North America.
And the film critics also fanned the flames, fueled the flames, and pushed the film to the cloud.
"Chicago Sun" praised without hesitation: "The director's rich imagination has achieved amazing achievements in filmmaking. This is a breathtaking film, airship races, lightsaber duels, space battles, drag armored cars, The big battle outside the city...a series of wonderful pictures, let people never forget it!"
"TV Guide" commented calmly: "The first 90 minutes of the movie are children's movies for some childish adult audiences. Fortunately, the last 40 minutes show Dunn's depth of thought and heavy human judgment. Away from the brilliant and dazzling scenes, the theme presentation forty minutes after the film is absolutely Oscar-level."
The Los Angeles Times was a bit more caustic, "The visual effects of the film are powerful, but from a dramatic standpoint, it's dull and boring. Although the last forty minutes are a bit of a surprise, the film's overall It doesn't feel good."
"The New York Times" praised, "This film maintains the usual amazing quality of this series. Especially Dunn Walker's personal stylized lens language is very flavorful. Natalie drove an armored car with a robot racing. The scene must be the template for many movies to learn in the future. As for the epic battle between the robots outside the city and the Ganga, it is also a textbook for historical movies.”
Even literary publications such as The New Yorker, The New Republic, and The Village Voice have written articles one after another to evaluate this stage-level movie.
Overall evaluation, very good!
Thursday, North American box office 19.86 million;
On Friday, the North American box office was 23.89 million;
On Saturday, the North American box office was 30.73 million;
On Sunday, the North American box office grossed 25.07 million.
The box office in the first week far surpassed that of "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic", reaching an unprecedented $133 million!
This is a new Hollywood record!
With the word of mouth among fans, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" has made the entire North America restless before this summer started.
……
On a warm afternoon, Dunn was lying comfortably on the sun lounger by the swimming pool in the back garden, accompanied by two bikini beauties—Jessica Alba and Naomi Watts.
Nicole Kidman is famous and has a high status, and always resists some of Dunn's excessive demands.
But Jessica and Naomi are different. They are not famous, so they are naturally obedient to Dunn.
In fact, on the first day Jessica moved in, she was carried into Naomi's bedroom by Dunn. Nicole was also furious about this, saying that Dunn had acted recklessly and wanted to move away.
It was not until Tang En said that when the funds were withdrawn in the second half of the year, a literary award-winning film would be launched, and she would star in it, Nicole just swallowed her anger and acquiesced to Tang En's nonsense.
"Darling, Nicole and Jessica are going to prepare a movie, what about me?" Naomi Watts opened a grape and put it in Dunn's mouth.
Half-squinting, Dunn, who was enjoying the sunlight and beauty, opened his eyes and pondered a little.
This is indeed a hassle.
Dunn Pictures couldn't get enough money to make a movie for Naomi, and Dunn didn't want to use precious favors to find an unreliable role for Naomi.
"Don't worry, let's play a supporting role in "Spider-Man" first. You can play Spider-Man's teacher."
Tang En suddenly missed the "stealing contract" skill in the sunglasses system. If he still had some leftovers, wouldn't he just help Naomi "snatch" a heroine?
Whether it's Disney or Warner Bros., isn't it up to me to choose the roles of various blockbusters?
At the beginning, the novice gift package gave him two skills of "stealing contracts", allowing him to successfully "snatch" the director positions of "Titanic" and "Star Wars Episode 1".
For this reason, Dunn established his status as a top Hollywood director in one fell swoop.
It's just that the acquisition requirements for this skill are somewhat harsh for the current Dunn.
One Oscar, one reward.
Dunn's age is the biggest obstacle for him and Oscar.
"How to do it?"
Tang En pondered silently, but he really couldn't think of an ugly person. He only has two skills, "Mirror Possession" and "Stolen Contract", which are very important. You have to keep spares to be safe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time, Nicole Kidman in a **** bikini climbed up from the swimming pool, her golden hair was gently tossed, and countless water droplets looked like pearls. Generally, the colorful rays of light are reflected in the sun, which sets off her whole person flawlessly.
Tang En couldn't help but took a few more glances and swallowed.
Nicole Kidman gave him a wide-eyed look, arrogantly trimmed her hair, and made no secret of her mysterious figure, "Dawn, you said you wanted to prepare a literary film for me, did you write the script? "
Tang En looked at her body, his eyes were a little lost, "No, what's wrong?"
"I want to see it, spend more time pondering the role, you can't fail in the Olympics again, right?"
"Well, yes, then you go and have a look. It's adapted from a book "Beautiful Mind". You are the number one female."
"Okay, I'll read it a few times later."
Nicole Kidman pursed her lips and smiled, obviously in a good mood. She gave Dunn a big wink, but she gritted her teeth angrily.
That guy actually lost his mind!
Is my figure so unattractive?
Nicole approached Tang En and wanted to pinch him on the waist, but found that Tang En's eyes were getting brighter and more shrewd, and then she exclaimed in surprise: "Haha, yes, I can write the script. Script! There is no age limit for the script award, right?"
"Dawn?"
The three girls were all dumbfounded, not knowing what Tang En was doing.
Tang En burst into laughter, went up and hugged Nicole by the waist, "You did a good job, I'll reward you once! Come on, let's go back to the room!"
"Fuck off, who will reward you!"
Nicole Kidman kicked her feet angrily, a bit like acting like a spoiled child.
Jessica and Naomi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, helpless.
