Super body leads the era

Chapter 53, Universal's Invitation

Since personally participating in the screening day, Sun Xiaowei has not intervened too much in the follow-up matters of Chainsaw.The premiere day job was for Craven and the cheap rookie leads, and aside from the inevitable crowds of classmates, her day-to-day school life was pretty good.

"Vivi, go downstairs and answer the phone!"

Later on Tuesday, when Sun Xiaowei was lying in Jessica's room and playing cards with her, Erza's voice sounded from downstairs: "It's Mr. Grant calling!"

Dragging her slippers and rushing down the stairs, Sun Xiaowei took her mother's phone: "What are you doing?"

"Boss, Universal Pictures sent an invitation letter to the company. It's for you. How about I send it to your home later?"

Sun Xiaowei looked up at her watch, it was already past seven o'clock, she said with a smile, "Then come to our house for dinner, I'll let you try Miss Ben's Kung Pao Chicken."

"That's really good, Chinese food isn't it? God, I'm so hungry!"

About half an hour later, a second-hand Chevrolet slowly parked outside Alba's house, and a slightly bald Grant walked to the door in a gray suit.

"Welcome, Mr. Grant."

At the door, Seres welcomed him into the room with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the entrance, Grant smelled the unique aroma of Kung Pao Chicken: "Oh my God, my favorite Chinese food!"

The dining table was already full of food, Sun Xiaowei and Jessica sat together, waved to the opposite side and said: "This is your seat, Grant, try Miss Ben's craftsmanship, it is rare for outsiders to eat my cooking vegetable."

The whole family and him were seated soon, and Grant took a taste of the Kung Pao Chicken on the plate with a spoon: "It's delicious! It's sweet and sour, um... this kind of texture... it's crispy on the outside, and crispy on the inside." It's tender and delicious!"

Jessica ate her plate with big mouthfuls, proudly said: "Vivi's cooking is even better than mom's, what can she even do?"

"what? What?"

"Ah...that's what!"

Sun Xiaowei smiled and said, "Braised carp in brown sauce, steamed pork ribs, sweet and sour pork loin, steamed pork with flour, there are too many. Of course, the English expression is really very simple, but unfortunately you can't understand my Chinese name."

Grant ate three spoonfuls of Kung Pao Chicken before opening his mouth: "I'm curious. Although Miss Alba is Asian, she must have limited contact with Chinatown, right?"

Sun Xiaowei shrugged and said, "Weiwei, for our relationship, just call us Weiwei. I rarely go to Chinatown, but Miss Ben is a genius. Learning Chinese and Chinese food is really easy~"

Seeing Grant's sobbing face, Serres put down the spoon and said, "Grant, guess when Vivi first spoke, and what did she talk about?"

Sun Xiaowei immediately pouted her nose at Jessica, who raised her head and raised a pair of scissors hands at her.

"Since you said that, I would never have guessed it."

"After three months, I will be able to speak. The first line is, I'm hungry."

Grant narrowed his eyes: "A word?"

"Yes, in a word, I'm hungry."

Grant immediately looked up at the chandelier and shouted the Virgin Mary, and said to the laughing person with surprise and sigh: "If this is true, the Guinness World Record will be broken! Wait, Alba Sir, you should be the adopted one... Weiwei, right?"

"Yeah, she was a month old. Looking back, it was a lucky day."

After a simple chat and a high-speed dinner process, Sun Xiaowei, Serres, and Grant came to the living room after everyone was full.

"Invitation letter from Universal Pictures, I hope you can attend the banquet at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel on May 5th, and all the people present are colleagues."

"Chairman of the Global Board of Directors, Johnny Swan's personal letter? It's really frightening. It should be written by that little girl named Fleur pestering his father?"

Sun Xiaowei looked at the invitation letter and unceremoniously called 17-year-old Fleur Swan a child, but neither of the two men present felt inappropriate.

Serres said: "If you really want DreamWorks to develop well, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with people in the same industry. Although I have the title of chairman, I am only an instructor of the Air Force after all. I still need a lot of you in this regard. Work hard."

Seeing that Sun Xiaowei read the invitation letter seriously, Grant sighed softly, rubbed his hands together and said, "Honestly speaking, I am really scared to stay in the company as CEO after gaining such great trust from you. After all, my full-time job is just an ordinary job. A third-rate director, when he took over from the former boss, he only joined the battle temporarily. Now it seems that I have to work hard to recharge myself, otherwise even if the boss doesn't say anything, I won't be able to stay on!"

Sun Xiaowei smiled softly and said: "So, as the company continues to expand, Grant, your main task is to have a good relationship with all major Hollywood film companies. As I said earlier, good scripts, good directors, good actors , plus sufficient funds, the most important factors for a single film are assembled. The issue of publicity and theater cooperation needs continuous development. Network, word of mouth, and influence, this is what we need to really care about.”

If the scene in the living room at this time was seen by outsiders, their jaws would have to drop. A 12-year-old girl is very familiar with boasting in front of two middle-aged men. This kind of scene is not seen every day.

Grant said: "If DreamWorks continues to focus on horror films, even if it can often achieve high box office, it will not pose a great threat to MGM's established companies. After all, there are too few examples of horror films that can win Oscars. , It is related to influence. But as the scripts written by the boss are put on the screen one by one, they will definitely seek us for cooperation, maybe someone at the party on the [-]th will make this suggestion to you.”

Sun Xiaowei said without blinking: "It's simple. During the time I wrote a script, the audience hasn't finished watching a single movie. It's not a problem to just throw two copies away. There are so many movies in Hollywood every year, and our company can account for it." How much is it?"

Serres and Grant were simply delighted and proud of these words, but Sun Xiaowei's thoughts were indeed as she said.

Hollywood has made too many movies from 1988 to 2020, and in the nine rebirths of someone, there may be new movies that are out of history.It is very unrealistic to shoot all the excellent movies in a gluttonous way. It is normal to leave some movie scripts to other companies. If other companies want to cooperate, Sun Xiaowei will naturally be happy to give them a favor.

"At present, it seems that the relationship between me and Universal can be closer. It must be Johnny Swan who first suggested this to me."

Looking at the handsome middle-aged man's excellent handwriting, Sun Xiaowei snorted and said with a smile: "Dad, Grant, do you think I wrote a horror movie script for them, or a youth campus theme?"

Serres spread his hands: "Campus theme, I've seen all the scripts you wrote for DreamWorks now, pornographic horror films, I think we should just change the name of the company, how about calling it Nightmare Factory?"

Grant, who was drinking tea, sprayed all over his chest. He coughed several times before recovering. He put down his cup, exhaled, and said with a smile, "I think the boss is going to hire a few more directors. At present, our company except Besides director Craven, the only newcomer Cameron is preparing the Terminator, at least a dozen scripts, is it really going to kill Craven?"

"It's okay, the shooting cycle of most horror films is not long, so let him come one by one~"

"As for Cameron, boss, you seem to be very optimistic about him. Is there any reason? Although the script of the Terminator is indeed very innovative, the investment of 600 million yuan does not even bat an eye..."

"If you insist on intuition, you will definitely not believe it, but although the white-haired man has a bad temper, he is really very talented, creative and full of confidence."

"real or fake?"

"Do you want to make a bet with me? The global box office of the Terminator will eventually reach more than 7000 million?"

How could Grant believe it? He smiled and shook his head and said, "It's too high. I bet up to 2000 million."

"Then what if you lose?"

"Losing... I invite the whole company to the party?"

"The cost is too low!?"

"Then twice!"

"Get out of here~!"

In the middle of the night, the moon hung high in the sky, and the sound of the car starting under the light of the street lights, when Grant finished his task and bid farewell, Sun Xiaowei stood in the porch and said to her father who was walking back from the driveway: "Dad, the premiere is not going to Do you want to go see this movie with mom?"

After closing the door, Serres patted his daughter on the shoulder and said while taking off his shoes: "I, it's more comfortable to be my own air force coach honestly. It really makes me show up at the premiere ceremony as the chairman. That's amazing." I'm not used to it."

"Then go when it's released~"

In the kitchen, Erza's voice sounded from far away: "Weiwei, if you don't want me to cook for everyone that night, I'll go and watch it. Maybe I'll be hospitalized for such a scary movie."

Three black lines were immediately imprinted on someone's forehead. Sun Xiaowei dragged her slippers into the kitchen, and said gloomily to her mother who was arranging the porcelain, "Elusha, can you save yourself, this is your daughter and my wife." This is the first time!"

Erza smiled lightly and closed the closet door, "First time? What kind of first time?"

Sun Xiaowei snapped her fingers and said, "My first screenwriter movie, then, the company's first movie, the company's first horror movie, Craven's first movie in the company, Craven Coming to the company's first horror movie..."

"Look, it's basically the business of the company and Mr. Craven. You only have one, so why should I scare myself?"

"Mom~!"
