Chapter 138

Two projects with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are opened together. I'm afraid none of the eight major film companies have the courage.

But there's no pressure on Tracy. At present, Tracy's two film companies lack everything, just money.

Tracy certainly won't let go of good projects and talents.

The project of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is going for money. In the last life, the film was good in both evaluation and box office. Now the female owner has been replaced by Nicole, which should not be worse than the original version.

As for the "Aviator" project, it is not running for money. Biographical films, with an investment of hundreds of millions, are really hard to make money.

Tracy didn't have much expectations for the gold absorption ability of this project, but mainly ran for the Oscar. In addition, of course, I want to make friends with big director Martin Scorsese and little plum.

Brokeback Mountain seduces Ang Lee and the aviator makes friends with Martin Scorsese. The deal doesn't lose money. They are regular guests of the Oscars. It's difficult for Tracy to miss the Oscars in the future.

As for Xiao Li, needless to say, his commercial value is immeasurable. He is definitely one of the top Hollywood male stars.

Steadily, he has a place in the 20 million film pay club. Even if he chases Oscar, tortures himself into a circle of fat, and his appearance falls to the bottom, it still can't affect his status.

Professional things are left to professionals, Tracy just invests money, and the rest is left to Jon Gordon.

It's a pity that Jon Gordon didn't bring Quentin Tarantino with him.

Malibu, sea view villa.

After lunch, Tracy looked through today's newspaper in the living room.

Pixar's "the bottom of the sea" box office has exceeded 200 million, the gold absorption ability has not subsided, and the attendance rate is still more than 50%. It is expected that the box office will exceed 300 million, which is the biggest box office dark horse this year.

Pixar had a beautiful turnaround, and Disney made a lot of money. It is estimated that this good news can temporarily offset the impact of the departure of the Weinstein brothers and the rapid decline of Miramax.

In addition to "the bottom of the sea", in the first half of the year, there was another film with a box office of more than 200 million in the United States, fox's "X-Men 2" released in early May.

These two films are the prelude to this year's film box office war. At present, the one who can compete with "the bottom of the sea" is the fake God released by Universal Pictures at the end of May

There is no doubt about the gold absorption ability of comedy master Kim Carey. The box office of "fake God" has approached 200 million.

Before June passed, there were three films with a box office of more than 200 million in the United States. Tracy was only greedy when looking at these projects.

Fortunately, his gold absorption series is already under preparation and will be released at the end of this year or early next year.

Not only that, Tracy's eyes were not just on his own one-third of an acre. In this era, making big IP is the king. DreamWorks' plan must be fast. After it, the two big IP's, Shrek and transformers, must dominate.

There are a lot of news about himself in the newspapers these days, but Tracy is not in the mood to read it. He put down the newspaper and immediately called Blanc cole to inquire about the progress of DreamWorks plan.

Listening to Cole's feedback, the progress is not as ideal as he thought. His godfather Spielberg welcomed him into DreamWorks. Although the other two did not object, they could make the shares limited.

Now, the other party's valuation of DreamWorks is $1 billion, and only 15% of the shares can be ceded.

This is about twice as bad as Tracy's expectation. It doesn't matter how much. 15% of the shares have too little voice in DreamWorks.

Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey carsenberg and David Geffen hold more than 90% of the shares of DreamWorks.

The three of them each gave up 5% of their shares to Tracy, which had no impact on themselves. The three of them are still the three giants of DreamWorks, and Tracy's 15% is similar to chicken ribs. It is said that he is a major shareholder. In fact, he is the little brother behind them.

"At least 20% to 25%, which is my bottom line. Tell them that I don't wait for dividends when I enter DreamWorks. I have the same dream as them. I need a position that can make a sound. It doesn't matter how much money I spend. I can buy their shares at a premium. Cole, you continue to negotiate with them. I will visit these giants and let them see My sincerity. "

After explaining, Tracy hung up the phone and looked a little gloomy. The other party's Preventive Psychology is very obvious. I'm afraid some means should be used to join DreamWorks and gain the right to speak.

In fact, the hearts of the three giants of DreamWorks are also well understood. No one really welcomes outsiders, even those who look weak like Tracy.

………..

In the afternoon, the underground parking lot of Los Angeles International Airport.

Tracy leaned against the black Rolls Royce phantom car. Renault protected him and guarded the surroundings. Duke's voice came from his ear: "boss, we have received Miss BELLUCCI."

"Very good. Come right away. Be careful of paparazzi on the way."

"OK, boss, don't worry. Those paparazzi should be at the airport. We're one step faster than them, hehe."

"Remember, don't be careless. You've exposed the boss's itinerary. There's you. All right, hurry up. The boss is a little anxious."

After talking with Duke, Renault immediately reported to Tracy: "Duke has received Miss Monica and they are coming."

"It's hard for you." Tracy smiled, nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

The efficiency of Renault and others is reassuring. He has been with him for several months and has not made any mistakes.

When Monica returned from Italy today, she wanted to wait for her directly at the airport, but considering the recent uproar over her divorce from Vincent Casso, Tracy gave up the idea.

He is not afraid of media guessing, but at this special time, it's better not to make trouble for himself.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, Duke and his party appeared in the underground parking lot. He and buck surrounded Monica.

Monica dressed casually, with a white suspender on her upper body, tight jeans on her lower body and light makeup on her face.

From the look, the divorce had little impact on her. When she saw Tracy coming, she immediately showed a charming smile.

Tracy walked up to her two or three steps and hugged her plump body. "Honey, I miss you so much. Let me see if you're thin."

Monica stared at him with a smile and grabbed his big hand. "I won't be mean to myself. Go back and let you check it slowly."
