Chapter 904 Cole's Progress (1/3)
Harrison suddenly saw the preview video of "Transformers". Although he felt unhappy, he did not feel too upset or anxious.
Even in his opinion, this is not a big deal at all.
In his eyes, neither Oriental DreamWorks, nor that Chinese talent, nor Barber, who is known as the Hollywood golden touch, are worth mentioning.
The reason why he felt strange in his heart was that over the years, not many people dared to disobey him, or not many things made him feel unhappy.
The previous failure to successfully obtain the film adaptation rights for "Transformers" is considered one, as is the public relations crisis caused by Cole Cook not long ago.
Cole?
Thinking of the name again, Harrison frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then dialed a number. After a while, Cole knocked on the door, bowed his head, and walked in with a respectful look.
"President!"
"Have you read this?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip words. Harrison's face was expressionless, and he turned the computer screen to face Cole and said calmly.
Cole looked up and saw the preview video of "Transformers" on the computer screen, and felt slightly panicked. He was originally sent to China to acquire the film adaptation rights of this comic but failed. Thinking of this, he still said bravely:
"Have seen it."
When Harrison heard this answer, he glanced at the nervous Cole, then tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly:
"The company will not hold you responsible for this matter. Obviously since the other party made a trailer video at this time, the movie adaptation of this comic has already started. Your failure is also expected."
After saying this, Cole didn't dare to take a breath, lowered his head and continued to listen.
"It's just that later your stupidity caused a certain passivity to the company, even if you achieved some achievements in China, so you will be punished. Do you understand?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip words.
"I understand, I understand, President, I was in a daze before and did this kind of thing without worrying too much. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future." Cole stood up immediately after hearing this.
Chest swore and said.
Seeing Cole's appearance, Harrison felt that the heat of the beating was almost over, so he said nothing more.
The last time Cole took the initiative and released the news that "The Visitor" had been inexplicably suppressed in China, it made Dime Pictures very passive during that period and almost caused confrontation between the two countries' film industries.
To be honest, it is normal for "The Visitor" to be acclimatized in China, and it is reasonable for competitors to follow suit.
Moreover, during this period of time, the Hollywood media went to China to investigate and study, and found out that "The Man From Another World" was not acclimated to the local environment and the audience did not buy it, which was why this blockbuster, which was a hit at the box office in the United States and Europe, suffered a cold reception in China.
This makes Dime Pictures very passive both in Hollywood and in China.
If it weren't for Di Mei Pictures' deep connections and extensive public relations, this matter would never have been settled so easily.
After hitting him with a stick and giving him a candied date, Harrison's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look and he asked: "How is the progress over there?"
Upon hearing about this culture, Cole immediately said with joy on his face: "Mr. Harrison, everything is going very well. The first draft of "Iron Man" is now out."
After saying this, he handed the stack of drawings in his hand to Harrison.
When he was notified by Harrison, he thought that this person would definitely care about the creative progress of the few people he had recruited from China, so he sorted out the manuscripts they had drawn during this period and brought them over.
Seeing that Cole was so sensible, Harrison nodded secretly, saying that he was doing well. Then, he picked up the sketch and read it slowly.
After a while, when he finished reading the drawing in his hand, his face flashed with joy. It was obvious that this comic idea satisfied him very much and even brought him a lot of surprises.
As the head of a movie giant, Harrison still has a very good appreciation of comics.
This "Iron Man" idea brought over from Oriental Comics is great and has a very bright market future.
In fact, he can now conclude that not only the comic, but also the movie adaptation will be very popular.
This kind of creative idea with a personal heroic plot is really popular in the United States. Adaptations of comics with this theme into movies are basically a big hit and have proven successful time and time again.
Thinking of this, Harrison couldn't help but look at Cole with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you have to hurry up and bring the comic to the market as quickly as possible."
When the rights to adapt the "Transformers" movie failed, he wanted to get it back from somewhere else.
"Don't worry, I will definitely release the first single volume of "Iron Man" as soon as possible." Cole immediately nodded and promised.
"Um!"
Then, Harrison waved his hand for Cole to leave.
Watching Cole leave, Harrison felt a little more comfortable. He didn't feel unhappy about getting the rights to adapt the "Transformers" movie, and it didn't affect his mood as much as before.
But he still felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart.
Or he feels that these are not enough.
No one can go against his decision, and no one chooses to go against Di Mei without paying the price.
At this time, Harrison's eyes couldn't help but fall on the video on the computer again, and he couldn't help showing some sneer. He muttered: "You want to have a global release? We'll see!"
Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone and made a few more calls.
United States.
Because Simmons' business was very prominent during this period, his status in Carmichael Cinemas has risen sharply, and he has become one of the important middle managers of the company.
In particular, he successively cooperated with Oriental DreamWorks to release and release action movies with oriental mysteries, which made Carmichael Cinemas make a lot of money during this period.
Although it is not as crazy as "2012", it is enough to give the top management of Carmichael Cinemas a lot of sweetness.
Besides, maintaining steady flow is the business policy of every company.
Today, he suddenly saw the preview video of "Transformers" from the Internet, and he couldn't help but get excited. Could it be another "2012"?
Compared with the previous action kung fu movies from Oriental DreamWorks with obvious Chinese cultural imprints, no matter how good these action kung fu movies are, even if one of them is starring Yang Ming himself, although it has achieved good box office results in the United States,
It's not on the same level as "2012" at all.
After all, the script of "2012" is originally suitable for all ages, and it is an international script that will not make people feel any cultural gap.
Therefore, there will be such crazy box office results after it is released.
When Western audiences go to the theater to watch this movie, they have no difficulty understanding it. Even if the leading actor is replaced by a white man, it will be a pure Hollywood blockbuster, and there will be no barriers for the audience to accept it.
At this time, Simmons felt that "Transformers" must be such a movie.
Thinking of this, his blood began to boil. Just when he was about to report to his superiors and negotiate with Oriental DreamWorks to distribute and release the film, the phone in front of him rang.
