378、Satire

Li Chong turned off the computer and walked to the underground parking lot. After getting on the bus, he still couldn't believe that a joke-like movie he invested in had become a box office dark horse. And it was so dark that all the critics were numb, so dark that the investors were numb, the issuer was numb, and even the main creators were numb for more than a month......

Li Chong took out the phone and called Wright directly, regardless of the fact that it was midnight in American time.

"Oh, God! Steven, you actually remembered and called me..." After the phone call, Li Chong heard a noisy sound, probably at a certain party...

"Find a more peaceful place and I'll ask you something." Li Chong said.

"Okay, OK, wait a moment, midnight in Los Angeles is crazy...ah, I know why you called me..." Wright should have walked out of the party's location, and the extremely clear voice came from the phone.

"What's going on with "The Hangover"? Today, Dad Lai Rui called me..." Li Chong continued to ask.

"I called you, but you didn't answer, and I even sent me a text message..." Wright sat on the steps at the door holding the wall.

"Uh..." Li Chong seemed to have a little impression. At that time, he was busy directing the show and did not answer the phone. He took the time to reply, "Busy, later!" and then there was nothing, until now.

"What are you going to tell that day?" Li Chong asked again.

"The Hangover is scheduled to be released. I ask if you have time to come to the premiere. After all, it is a movie commemorating ours. The result... I forgot to call you again later..." In fact, Wright didn't go on the day of the premiere. He and his second model girlfriend were fooled...

"What does Dad Lai Rui mean?" Li Chong felt a headache.

"It's not that the box office sales after the movie was released, which shocked everyone's attention, so some people wanted to make a bad idea. However, after careful investigation, they found that Time Warner didn't even have a slight investment. They just helped provide staff, and even the contracts were signed with us. They had no idea what to say..." Wright waved to the waiter in the distance, took a glass of red wine, and then said disdainfully.

The box office of "Hangover" won $43.28 million in the first week, shocking the chins of Hollywood critics. Of course, it also made Time Warner's senior executives ecstatic. How intoxicating it is to have such a low-cost movie after the economic crisis. They have planned to shoot a series of second, third, and fourth............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

No, it doesn’t matter. They are responsible for the issuance, and they can still get the 3% distribution fee of the total box office.

After that, Larry was called to the president's office. After a long time, Larry walked out with a wry smile. The president was not clamoring like those clowns, but he also told Larry that he must get the sequel to "The Hangover"...

Lai Rui went back and thought for a long time and felt that he could not tell Li Chong directly that although he had a very good relationship with Li Chong and he also admired Li Chong very much, business was business after all. And according to the current trend of "Hangover", this is a series worth billions of dollars, and it cannot be obtained by relationships.

In fact, there is a reason Time Warner wants to win this series of movies. First, the brand of the series has been created. The script of "Hangover" is very simple, so simple that any screenwriter who has had a ridiculous youth can write it. However, such a simple idea was written by a Korean, and it was also filmed into a movie, and it became a box office dark horse. This is not a simple thing. The second is that Time Warner's series "Harry Potter" is about to be completed. The sixth part will be released this year, and the seventh part will be released next year, which is also the most important thing for "Harry Potter".

In the latter film, Time Warner will not have such a series of movies that have already produced a money-making effect. The time when "The Hangover" appeared happened when Time Warner was looking for a series of movies everywhere; the third is that this is a small-cost movie. Even if the second film starts to increase the pay and production funds, it will not exceed too much. Even if it doubles, it will still be a small-cost production. For $50 million to make profits of at least $150 million to $200 million, anyone will be tempted. Moreover, this is still a series, and at least three to four episodes can be filmed...

"It's basically what it means. Although Dad Lai Rui has some power, he is still much worse than the CEO of the company. This matter makes him very embarrassed. This should be the reason why she didn't tell you directly today." Wright told Li Chong intermittently about the past month. Generally speaking, Li Chong already understood what was going on.

Time Warner is interested in acquiring the sequel to the Hangover. Even if it cannot be acquired, it will find a way to participate in the production.

Li Chong was a little confused when he hung up the phone. He should have been very happy today. He became a shareholder of S&M and was appointed as an independent director. He had previously established a joint venture with Japan Aihui, which could push all its Korean portfolios to Japan. These are the sources of future profits, but these things were disturbed by this call.

Just when Li Chong was worried, another thing was also worried about Girls' Generation.

The Girls' Generation's new dormitory has been renovated and they can move in at any time, but these girls said they wanted to stay in the original dormitory and wait for when they will not be nostalgic and when they will move out. Jin Yanping was puzzled. Fortunately, Li Xiuman said something and said that they would move whenever they want...

"When will the uncle move out?" Yuri asked in the dormitory.

"I remember the uncle said it was in July, but now it is mid-month. The uncle has no intention of moving. It should be the end of July..." Xiaoxian replied seriously.
