Chapter 812 The biggest trauma in life

(ffff: You know!)

In the evening, a few women came back and saw Wu Cheng, and they were naturally surprised.

But soon, the phone at home kept ringing, and the first person to call in was not Shirley Lansing, the head of DreamWorks, but the casino tycoon Kcorian, who Wu Cheng had not contacted for a long time. The two are now in a partnership.

Wu Cheng invested in Huaxia Entertainment City in Las Vegas, 30% of the shares belong to this guy, and 30% of the shares belong to this guy’s Royal Casino are also owned by Wu Cheng.

In comparison, it seems that Wu Cheng is going to suffer a loss, but in fact, there is no question of whether to suffer a loss or not. Moreover, Huaxia Entertainment City has not been built yet, and Wei An, the person in charge, has been here for more than a year. Although the main building is completed, some surrounding buildings are still under construction and the decoration inside has not yet begun.

So, Wu Cheng has made money from Kcorian's Royal Casino, but Huaxia Entertainment City still has only investment.

"Hey, Corian, how did you know I'm coming to North America?"

"Ha, I saw your private car at the airport in Los Angeles. I just caught someone and asked, wouldn't it be clear?" Kerkorian laughed and finally said, "By the way, I'm not congratulating you yet, Oh my God! What's the box office of the 'Alien' now?"

Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "It seems that North America is less than 250 million!"

"Oh God! I don't seem to be satisfied with your tone, right?" The old man screamed exaggeratedly and finally said: "It seems that your DreamWorks is really not going to give other film companies a way out this year. In addition to the "Terminator" that is being released now, there is "Star Wars 2" waiting for everyone... Do you want to tell me that there are Christmas gifts on Christmas?"

"Hey, Corian, this is not your style. Do you need to live on MGM? Actually, if you want me to say, you might as well sell MGM to me!" Wu Cheng said with a smile.

"Cheng, do you really want it?" the old man asked back.

Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "That's what I said!"

"I knew you guy was looking for me to be happy. Your DreamWorks building should be almost built! I heard that the set in Canada is about to be completed, right?"

"It seems you know my company very well!"

The old man smiled and said, "I usually understand more about my partners. What's more, in a sense, we are not only partners, but also competitors, aren't we? So I understand more about you, isn't it very appropriate?"

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! Mr. Partner, are you just trying to tell me about your pain? I don't think you have any pain. Anyway, your main business is not MGM, right? Or do you want to ask me to cooperate with the casino again?"

"No, I actually want to ask you for a script..."

"Script? Didn't you hear that your MGM 007 has started filming?"

"Hey, Cheng, why do I think what you mean is that we, except 007, cannot make other movies? Your words are so annoying!"

"I don't mean to belittle you, Corian. But there seems to be no other movies except that MGM has impressed me the most, right?"

"Okay! You guy's words are really unpleasant!" The old man complained and said, "And only you guy said that, I can't refute it. But, you think, isn't it because of this that I need you to write a script for me to save MGM? How about it? As long as you write a script for us, I'm willing to pay you a five million quota!"

"Wow! This is such a big deal!" Wu Cheng couldn't help but exaggerately shouted, "But Kok'an, aren't you worried about the box office of the movie being shot in the future?"

"The script was written by you. Even if the box office performance is not good in the future, I will admit it!"

That's right, but if you really want to write a script for them, can Wu Cheng not be serious? If you mess it up, it will be smashing his own signature.

Looking at the scripts written by Wu Cheng, as long as they were shot in North America, no script is not profitable. The lowest box office is tens of millions, and the global box office is over 100 million.

Some of the best results have hundreds of millions of dollars in the global box office.

"Okay, Corian, let's talk about it! You know I don't like writing scripts for other companies!"

"Okay!" The old man was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly adjusted and said, "I will hold a team in Beverly in two days. Please bring your ladies here!"

Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Okay! I will bring Deli with you!"

After finishing the call with this casino tycoon, Wu Cheng couldn't help feeling a little secretly proud. This year, the scripts of the three summer dramas in DreamWorks, except for "Star Wars 2", were all written by him. Although they were "plagiarized", no one knew about it!

Now in North America, the box office of the "Aliens" has been more than 200 million. Although some theaters have been reduced to give way to the "Terminator", they still have more than 1,000 stores.

Original time and space, this drama has been released for forty or fifty weeks in a row, which means it has been released for nearly a year. But even after it has been released for so long, some people still return to the theater to reminisce. Therefore, the box office of this movie in North America ended up being more than 300 million.

If the 21st century has to be released, the box office will have to be added to tens of millions.

According to statistics, the final box office of this drama was more than 700 million. It was not until the 1990s that Spielberg broke the record after filming "Jurassic Park".

Now, starting with "Aliens", the middle section of "Terminator" ends with "Star Wars 2", and three dramas are released one after another. Such a lineup, why doesn't Wu Cheng Deyi?

Just as she was proud, Lansing's phone came in.

After chatting with Lansing for a while, Wu Chengcai learned from her that the global box office of "Alien" has now reached nearly 400 million US dollars. It seems that it is not too difficult to break the records of "Human Ghost" and "Little Ghost 2". After all, although the movie viewing craze for this drama has faded a lot, many people still watch it again.

Wu Cheng knew more about the result of Lansing's guess than anyone else.

However, what makes Lansing feel a pity is that the sensation caused by "Terminator" seems to be comparable to "Alien". Although it is also a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of tens of millions, it is almost equivalent to the investment in the "Alien" drama... The main investment is still spent on special effects.

Compared with the original time and space movie, the Terminator is much better in terms of special effects.

However, it has been released for nearly two weeks and now it has a box office of only more than 30 million.

If outsiders know what Shirley Lansing thinks, they probably will cry! If they can recover their investment by making movies, they will feel relieved.

But she is so good. Within two weeks of release, the investment has been recovered long ago. The next income is profitable. She is not satisfied with it and compares it with the "Aliens".

Wu Cheng was speechless after hearing this. You should know that the box office of the first film "Terminator" in North America was only more than 30 million, and the global box office did not exceed 100 million.

But now, the drama has harvested more than 30 million in nearly two weeks, and it is only in North America. I believe that the global box office has exceeded 100 million, which is definitely true.

And more importantly, the director of this drama is just a new director. Although Cameron had served as an assistant director for Wu Cheng and Spielberg as an assistant director, the drama "Terminator" was indeed the first drama he directed as a director himself.

The first drama has already attracted many film companies to this point.

These days, Cameron has been in high spirits and has been in full swing.

In comparison, Spielberg is much more steady and calm.

Not long after chatting with Lansing, Orwitz and his friends came in, and then one after another, Cameron and Spielberg were among them.

When Lucas scored in, he asked him directly if he had time to stay for the premiere of "Star Wars 2"? "Star Wars 2" has decided to be released in the middle of next month.

"Bad guy, look at Sister Zhi, how about it? Beautiful!"

When Wu Cheng was about to answer Lucas, he wore suspender jeans, board shoes, and a baseball cap. Zhong Chuhong, dressed in a tomboy, walked down with Zhao Yazhi.

Zhao Yazhi was wearing a tight cheongsam, slim heels under her feet, and a bun on her head slightly tied. As she walked, the cheongsam slit showed a touch of white like mutton fat and white jade.

Looking at her gentle and intellectual appearance, Wu Cheng forgot to answer Lucas's question.

"Hehehehe...I'll just say it! Look at him so stupid..."

Seeing Wu Cheng's silly look, Zhong Chuhong giggled, "How is it? Bad guy, my work is good! Can it be your old man's eyes?"

Wu Cheng coughed lightly and rushed to Lucas on the phone and said, "Lucas, let's talk about this matter when you look back! Well, in a few days, I will hold a party... Then, that's it! I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first!" After hanging up the phone, Wu Cheng looked at Zhong Chuhong, looking surprised, and asked, "Are you saying that this cheongsam was designed by you?"

"Hmm! Why? Don't believe it?" Zhong Chuhong raised his brow at him, then frowned at him, and hummed, "What's your expression?"

Wu Cheng glanced at her a few times, and finally coughed lightly, "I just can't believe that a female paper that can torture herself like a tomboy can actually design such a feminine outfit. This is simply a miracle!"

"Good~get out!"

"Puchi!"
