Chapter 96 We need a championship! !
Bruce and Cole sat in the office in silence, both of them were anxious about their involvement in "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter"!
Peter Jackson looked at the check for hundreds of millions of dollars in his hand with a complicated expression. Even though he only agreed to enter Miracle Entertainment out of curiosity about Bruce and the convenience brought by Kent, now that he looked at the financial statements of the entire company, he knew How great is the pressure on the company now!
For the movie "The Lord of the Rings", Jackson had a very strong desire to make a good film, but when he finished writing the script of the novel, he suddenly found that it was impossible to shoot alone.
When he made the budget for the series, Jackson couldn't believe it!
"Mr. Todkins' statement seems to be very correct!" Jackson frowned, collected the check solemnly, and stood up solemnly!
When Peter Jackson was still a child, he was a loyal fan of the "Lord of the Rings" novels, and he would read each novel over and over again.
The vastness of Middle-earth, the novel races of elves, dwarves, and warriors, when Jackson became a junior director, his desire to put this novel on the big screen became stronger!
As Jackson stepped into the ranks of well-known directors step by step, it was a coincidence that he had several good contacts with Mr. JRR Todkins, the author of "Lord of the Rings"!
As the two gradually got acquainted, Jackson revealed his thoughts from time to time because of his strong desire for "Lord of the Rings" during the chat.
When Tokins knew what the young man in front of him was thinking, he, who was most familiar with the novel, simply said, "It is impossible for this novel to be adapted into a movie!"
Jackson, who received this answer, suddenly froze there, and Todkins' words completely extinguished his hope.
"What a stubborn old man!" A memory flashed across Jackson's face, and he lit a cigar with some emotion!
"Do you know how much control this work requires? Do you know how huge Middle-earth is? Have you ever thought about how much flaws this film will bring to this novel?"
Recalling Todkins' serious question in succession, Jackson couldn't help being grateful for the old man's kindness!
Although Todkins' words put great pressure on Jackson, as a persistent director, after going through great difficulties, he finally persuaded this stubborn old man and the novel copyright dealer!
With the consent of these people, Jackson quickly contacted several of his friends. After overturning and rewriting again and again, when the novel finally completed the script change, they were finally shocked by their vision!
Although there are only three novels, there are so many things involved in it that it is unimaginable. Actors, props, personnel, special effects, every link is as difficult as a race against time!
And Jackson finally got Bruce's investment, but now he feels a little entangled in stroking the funds in his pocket!
Bruce sat on the sofa with a serious face, although when he handed the check to the excited Jackson with a smile, his face was always showing relief.
But when he further understood the current situation of the company, he was almost overwhelmed by this powerful pressure for a while!
[-] million US dollars, for a dark horse who only relied on a few early films, this has made a huge profit, but now when Bruce gradually understands the huge risks involved, after serious thinking, he still clenches his teeth A huge amount of money has been poured into the black hole of "Lord of the Rings"!
Cole looked at the changing expression of Bruce with a serious expression. He knew Bruce's mood very well at the moment!
Originally, in Cole's mind, although Bruce stubbornly took over the investment of "The Lord of the Rings" at that time, but with the great success of the previous works, he was quite calm about the investment in this film!
But when he learned of Bruce and Rowling's "Harry Potter" film and television plans, Cole felt very strange and anxious about this crazy brother!
These two films, especially "The Lord of the Rings", were looked down upon by the bosses and major investors who participated in the meeting at that time, but they only invested nearly 3 million US dollars at one time to shoot this huge film. Unbelievable presence!
And when Bruce took over "The Lord of the Rings" stubbornly, Hollywood and even people who knew about it were waiting in the dark to see his jokes!
Just when Bruce and the two were extremely anxious about some things, the phone placed in front of Cole suddenly rang!
"Dingling Bell!!~~"
"Hi! I'm Cole Chris!" Cole picked up the phone a little coldly. He is now concentrating on finding possible ways to raise money. Although he feels incomprehensible and entangled with Bruce's approach, as a brother, But he chose to support without hesitation!
"what???"
Bruce, who was thinking of a way, suddenly heard Cole's exclamation, and couldn't help looking at this guy who was already extremely calm in his affairs in a little astonishment!
"Oh God! Really?" Cole exclaimed in disbelief.
Bruce, who was just stunned at first, became curious after hearing Cole's exclamation again!
"Okay! I will go as soon as possible!" Cole hung up the phone excitedly, he was so happy about what he said on the phone!
"Dude! We can finally relax!" Cole couldn't wait to walk over to Bruce, and said excitedly: "EA, do you know EA???"
Bruce, who didn't know much about Cole's words, nodded blankly after hearing the question.
"God, they are willing to sponsor us, God, this is unbelievable!" Cole shouted excitedly, picked up the glass in front of Bruce, and drank heartily!
"What??" Bruce was taken aback when he heard Cole's words. Although he knew that the film had struggled to get some investment back then, when he heard Cole's words, his mind suddenly cleared up!
At that time, because of the huge investment in "The Lord of the Rings", all the investors and major companies who heard the news were discouraged.
When this film, which may bring a huge crisis to a certain company, was taken over by a company, with the ability of the boss and management, they had some difficulty in getting the investment from "EA" sports and entertainment company. The price was this film Game adaptation and usage rights!
Listening to Cole's explanation for himself, Bruce is very grateful for what he and Jackson did!
As "The Lord of the Rings" was taken over by Bruce, Jackson did not know why, or it might be because he was afraid of Bruce's funding problems. After negotiating with Cole, he contacted other investors!
After running around for a long time, the two returned to the company disappointed, and EA was one of their goals at that time!
"They have finally seen what kind of impact this film will have. Although they have obtained the copyrights used by the characters of "The Lord of the Rings", they have not been able to obtain other copyrights in the end!" Jackson pushed the door away excitedly. He came in, originally he was planning to come here to discuss something with the two of them, but when he was about to knock on the door, the voice from the crack of the door stopped!
"Aha! Peter, you guys are so beautiful!!" Although the agreement with EA has not yet been negotiated, Bruce has already seen the possibility of the release of this film, and he does not want to let such a masterpiece in his own hands Postponed!
"Oh!!" Jackson, who looked a little funny, suddenly cheered. With the injection of funds from EA, even if the filming would still have great difficulties, but in this way, with the investment of at least 5000 million US dollars, these three works It will definitely become one of the most influential classic films in the new century!
Afterwards, the three discussed some EA negotiations and the filming plan of "Lord of the Rings", and the three of Bruce left the headquarters of Miracle Entertainment one after another!
Back in Oakland, Bruce finally relaxed a little. Looking at the information in his hand, he no longer had the same headache as before. Instead, looking at the data on the information, his mind became clearer!
As the offseason gradually passed halfway, except for the big deals made by the Rockets and other teams, other teams seemed a little silent!
Bruce sat in the office a little bored, looking at the newspaper in his hand that still published information about some players signed by NBA teams from time to time, and his original envious mood calmed down a little!
On September 9st, because the information about "The Lord of the Rings" was spread out somehow, there was a frenzy of astonishment in Hollywood!
"Miracle Entertainment Makes a Crazy Move", "Bruce Young Made a Stupid Decision", "Miracle Entertainment Is Going Bankrupt", different newspapers in Hollywood regard the upcoming shooting of "Lord of the Rings" as a joke treat!
Every newspaper and reality show made fun of Bruce and Miracle Entertainment, and even the handsome men and women who "played" in Bruce's living area from time to time suddenly disappeared!
Back at his residence, Bruce put down the newspaper with some tears and laughter. Although he had already prepared for the reaction of these guys, the sudden upsurge still made him very depressed!
Mrs. Shirley looked hesitantly at the young man who was smiling wryly on the sofa. He was very angry at the decision made by this employer!
As a loyal "die-hard" fan of the Warriors, Mrs. Shirley is very optimistic about this young and potential team, and Bruce's current behavior instantly brought her great troubles!
"Ma'am, do you have anything to say to me?" Bruce, who shook his head secretly, finally saw Mrs. Shirley's hesitant figure, and then asked with some doubts.
"Uh." Mrs. Shirley's face flashed a bit of confusion, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind, and she said in a somewhat unsurprised way: "Mr. Bruce, your actions will bring great trouble to the Warriors, although those young people The performance is very good, but the team still needs some changes after all, we need a championship, and we hope that you can bring this team to the top again, but your current approach has greatly confused us fans!
