In the eyes of many businessmen, film is a tool, which is more practical than artistic.
In Hollywood at this stage, four major film companies, MGM, Warner, paramount and Lianmei, have been acquired by consortia.
Among them, MGM was the worst. It was sold and mortgaged by Kirk kirkerian to raise funds and open a casino in Las Vegas; Lianmei has no sense of existence. In the eyes of the rich Pan American company, it is completely a publicity tool; Warner and paramount left some dignity.
Steve Ross, who started from the funeral industry, and Charles bludorn, who started from auto parts, took Warner and paramount as publicity tools respectively. At the same time, they also solemnly regarded them as an important part of diversification.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Charles bludorn has no feelings for the film.
Furthermore, when interest exchange is needed, Charles bludorn does not hesitate to use the film as a chip, without any scruples, which will have an adverse impact on the artistry of the film itself.
Gao Xian asked for a role for the person he recommended in the godfather. Charles bludorn agreed without even asking for details.
As for the difficulty of fulfilling the promise, of course, it is up to the men to find a way to solve it.
Robert Evans, who was exceptionally mentioned by Charles bludorn as president of paramount, has long known the boss's temper.
There is no room for turning around when I see Charles bludorn. Robert Evans can only hope that the high string will not be so difficult.
So Robert Evans tentatively asked, "Gao, who is the Kung Fu Chinese American actor you recommended?"
"Bruce Lee," Gao Xian replied casually, "as far as I know, he has worked with paramount in TV dramas."
Robert Evans suddenly said, "I remember the kung fu star who has been popular in Southeast Asia and East Asia recently. It is said that Warner has also looked for him."
Gao Xian nodded, "since you know, it's better to save me from introducing again."
Robert Evans exchanged a wink with Francis Coppola and said, "well, Gao, please ask Bruce Lee to see us as soon as possible to discuss his role."
"Bruce Lee will come from Xiangjiang as fast as he can." Gao Xian turned his eyes to Charles bludorn. "I have no other requirements."
Charles bludorn immediately realized that everyone is not idle. Seize the time, sign the contract when it's time, pay the money when it's time, and then go their own way.
The filming of the godfather has been suspended for some time, so the loss is inevitable.
After some adjustment, the shooting budget of the godfather has increased from $6.5 million to $7 million. Gao Xian invested $1 million and shared 20% of the revenue.
If the godfather still makes a sequel, Gao Xian can continue to participate according to this rule.
The conditions for arranging Li Xiaolong's performance are written in an annex.
Robert Evans and Francis Coppola soon found that Gao Xian was really hard to fool, but easier to serve than Charles bludorn.
From Charles bludorn's polite attitude towards Gaoxian, it is not difficult to see that Gaoxian is an investor with a lot of background, but compared with this strength, Gaoxian is not aggressive enough to make Paramount's people breathless.
Mario Puzo, the author of the novel The Godfather and the screenwriter of the film the godfather, and Francis Coppola, who has won the Oscar for best screenplay, add a reasonable part to Li Xiaolong. It's too simple.
Gao Xian and Li Xiaolong, who came from Xiangjiang, had made a thorough analysis when communicating. This is a dish of spaghetti to please the American audience. It has nothing to do with us Chinese to play an Oscar winner; If you can accumulate resources and help the film to be filmed in Italy, even if you achieve your goal.
Of course, Li Xiaolong is very satisfied with the opportunity to participate in the godfather. No matter how straight he is, he knows the rules of the game in Hollywood. Now everything depends on the way Gao Xian found.
When it was confirmed that the godfather would be released at the end of the first quarter of next year, Gao Xian ignored it because Intel CEO Robert Noyce had been urging him to meet.
Zhou Wenyao, who was arranged by Gao Xian in the United States, vividly described this eagerness, "boss, Robert Noyce is going crazy. If he doesn't see you again, he will go to Xiangjiang to block people in person."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "the more anxious Robert Noyce is, the better things can be talked about."
Gao Xian knows why Robert Noyce is worried, because he is the initiator. In addition to buying soft Wen, criticizing the film Godfather for praising the Mafia and stepping on Paramount's brake, he also buys soft Wen, comments on the development status of the semiconductor industry and praises the progress of Texas Instruments in the field of microprocessors, So as to achieve the purpose of adding Intel throttle.
The effect of the soft text for Intel is far better than that for paramount. A big proof is that even Texas Instruments believes it and proudly claims that it is close to completing the four bit microprocessor tms1000, which has become the world's first microprocessor as analyzed by the newspaper.
In fact, the United States has long developed a microprocessor and successfully applied it to the main flight control system of the U.S. Navy F-14 male cat fighter.
Because the US Navy believed that this technology was too advanced, it kept it secret until 1997.
Gao Xian certainly knew about it, but he didn't ask for trouble to expose it. Instead, he focused on boasting that Texas Instruments was the leader in technology, which stimulated Intel's nerves.
Seeing that Texas Instruments announced that it would release the world's first microprocessor and was preparing for IPO, intel was depressed, "we also developed this microprocessor, but all relevant rights were sold to Gaoxian."
Now, Robert Noyce is anxious to find Gao Xian because he wants to buy back what he sold before.
So Robert Noyce couldn't wait to open the door and said, "Gao, Intel is willing to pay three times the cash to buy back all the relevant rights of that chip."
Gao Xian made an understanding and nodded, "cash is not necessary. I'd better change it into stock. In addition, I want to subscribe for seven times of Intel's original shares."
