Chapter 1658: Agent Movie Universe
Inside the Twentieth Century Fox Cinema in Century City.
This is June 26th.
Monday afternoon.
Simon's car stopped directly in front of the office building. As soon as he got off the car, a group of people came up.
Sherry Lansing, who was in charge of the new Fox after the merger case, hugged her, and Simon turned to the others, smiling and said, "It doesn't take such a big fight, I'm under pressure."
Barbara Brockley, the producer of the 007 series, also stepped forward and hugged Simon, and said with a smile: "Because everyone is looking forward to this meeting."
As he greeted him like this, it was Ron Mayer again.
After Hollywood history was unrecognizable by Simon, the big butterfly, one of the CAA founders who should have taken over Universal a few years ago finally found his first job as a major studio last year, serving as the president of Paramount Pictures, which is controlled by Canadian Sigram.
Robert Rem, the former president of this large studio, was once the CEO of New World Pictures under Daenerys. He retired in disgrace because he did not receive Seagram's renewal.
This is what Hollywood is like. If you do well enough, it will be fine to control a large studio for more than ten or twenty years. However, if you can't achieve results, it will be replaced in a few years or even months, which is also rare.
After the three, there are Lena Kane who has not seen for a while and Meichen Amik, one of the trio of "Charlie's Angels", the male lead Nicholas Cage of the "Mission: Impossible" series, and Paul Greengrass, director of the film director of "Spy Shadows", Matt Damon and "Grand Girl" Ami Ake.
Those who are familiar with Hollywood dynamics can easily recall the long-rumored "Agents Movie Universe" plan in the circle.
The same is true in fact.
This afternoon is a meeting specially organized for the 'Agents Film Universe' plan.
Speaking of which, Simon proposed this idea very early, but has not been too concerned about it in recent years and has been delaying it until now. On the one hand, his personal energy is limited after all, and subconsciously, Simon still hopes that Hollywood can bloom and not be occupied by too many commercial series. On the other hand, copyrights such as "Mission: Impossible" that Simon really wants to add to the series has not been settled. Even the 007 series, the British Brockley family, who previously controlled half of the copyright of this super IP, was quite resistant.
Until now.
Seeing the miraculous success of the DC Cinema Universe series and Simon's power in Hollywood becoming more and more powerful, coupled with the increased strength of MGM and Fox's merger, it is enough to support a huge film universe plan, all parties gradually understand that joining this series will inevitably be a win-win choice.
Everyone exchanged simple greetings and came to a large conference room in the office building behind them.
Simon sat down in the middle of one side of the congressman's table, with Shirley Lansing on one side, and Meichen Amik without any trace.
Everyone just smiled when they saw this, and there was nothing to compete for. However, the few positions opposite the long table were naturally on Ron Mayer, Barbara Brocre and Lena Kane, and some other celebrities and filmmakers could only sit aside obediently.
During the break when the meeting secretary distributed information, Mei Chen Amik took the initiative to talk to Simon, talking about "Charlie's Angels 2" which just started painting last Friday: "Simon, how do you think I am in the sequel to Angel?"
"Great."
Simon said, remembering the North American box office data I saw just one weekend in the morning.
Last Friday, four years later, countless fans finally waited for the release of "Charlie's Angels 2". Three Charlie's Angels, Kate Beckinsale, Katherine Zeta-Jones and Meichen Amik, once again shined on the big screen.
With its excellent comprehensive media rating of 8.3 points and its equally outstanding reputation among the audience, "Charlie's Angels 2" won a box office of US$60.28 million in three days of the first weekend, and the box office is expected to reach US$90 million in the first week. In comparison, the first movie in 1996 had a box office of only more than 72 million in the first week, and the box office increase of 25% during the same period.
Although the final box office volume depends on the subsequent box office trend of the film, at this start, the subsequent development plan of the film can be advanced without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Simon saw that the girl beside him was still brewing and looking for a conversation, and asked, "I'm still promoting the video recently, why are you free to come here?"
"I happened to record a talk show in Los Angeles, which is also used for publicity," said Meichen Amik. "Kate and Catherine went to the UK. They are British. When we come back in a few days, we will fly together in Asia and attend the premiere in Japan."
Simon nodded slightly.
I remember that "Charlie's Angels 2" has not been able to synchronize in Japan, where the film market is still relatively closed. This is not possible. If you take the time to pay attention to Washington, it cannot always be like this.
After the meeting secretary distributed the information, Simon stopped the conversation with Amik and signaled that the meeting would begin.
First, Shirley Lansing introduced the specific implementation plan of the Agent Film Universe that has been quietly planned for several months and approved by Simon.
After the problem of copyright and other aspects is resolved, the initially planned Agent Cinema Universe will consist of the first batch of five IPs, one of the 007 series, one of the "Mission: Impossible" series, one of the "Charlie's Angels" series, one of the "Spy Shadows" series, and the last one, Simon has only recently intervened and joined in. It is also one of the IPs that Daenerys has been hiding for a long time, the "Fast and Furious" series.
For "Fast and Furious", Simon's idea is that the entire plan cannot be full of agents, even if it is a variety of agents from men and women inside and outside the system, it still needs some off-staff teams as a adjustment.
The racing party is the most suitable one.
Imagine a scene where Ethan Hunter, with a embarrassed face, got into a seemingly inconspicuous and worn sports car on the side of the road, pointed ahead and said to catch up with the Aston Martin. Boss Don said nothing, and rushed up the accelerator.
Very exciting.
It can be extended further. Aston Martinley is a guy named James Bond. Both sides, well, a three-way fight, and found that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple. Boss and Hunter were officially dispatched, and Boss Don took on a job from the Angel Trio. Everyone was investigating a plan called "Stumbling Block" and finally found Jason Born together.
Bourne is so miserable.
Anyway, an agent movie universe was connected in a blink of an eye.
By the way.
Finally, of course, Boss Tang’s words “We Are Fa fans” are not missing, and the sound should be particularly magnetic and thick.
Chapter completed!
