Chapter 123: K Street, Washington, DC(2/2)
Michael Ovitz nodded decisively.
He knew it, just like Abel said.
If what Abel said is true, then it will really help him and caa.
Now that he has just returned to CAA, if he can get such a big deal right away.
Then there will no longer be any doubts about his return as king among CAA!
"I will definitely do my best, please believe me, BOSS." Ovitz said firmly.
Faced with his performance, Abel was quite satisfied.
Abel said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "If we can really get the copyright of Spider-Man back, Michael, do you think it would be better for Anne to play Mary Jane or Gwen?"
Sitting next to her, Anne Hathaway, who had been very well-behaved and extremely quiet throughout the whole process, was stunned.
Then a happy expression appeared on her face.
Those are Mary Jane and Gwen!
They are very well-known in the United States and can be regarded as American national girlfriends.
Everyone in America wants to be Spider-Man, and American girls also want to be Mary Jane and Gwen.
Michael Ovitz took a serious look at the radiant Anne.
"I think everything is fine." After Ovitz finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added:
"Perhaps the roles of Gwen and Mary Jane can be combined into one, with Miss Anne playing the role.
After all, this is a movie adaptation, not a pure live-action adaptation of comics."
What Ovitz added later made Albert take another look at him.
Abel remembers it as being in the third spider.
The heroine MJ is a combination of Mary Jane and Gwen, and doing so makes this character even more brilliant.
However, due to the skin color of the female protagonist, some people questioned MJ's performance in the movie.
But that's a problem with the actor, not the character itself.
There is no doubt that MJ, who is equivalent to Mary Jane and Gwen combined, is even more outstanding in terms of character design.
If we can really get back the copyright of Spider-Man, maybe we can really consider the character design of MJ.
At that time, we will use MJ’s wonderful character, plus the performance of Spider-Man Maguire that is very suitable for the character of Spider-Man in the comics.
At the same time, if we spend more money on CG special effects.
Maybe we can shoot a better version of Spider-Man in parallel time and space.
And if Spider-Man can return, the Avengers series can be even more exciting.
But there is a premise for this, that is, we can really get back Spider-Man from Sony.
To achieve all this, Abel feels that he must look at the next work of Melio and David Jones.
In addition, it should also be able to borrow the power of K Street.
What is K Street?
K Street is the abbreviation of a street in DC.
Starting from A Street near the Capitol Building in DC, followed by B Street, C Street...K Street.
K Street is exactly ten blocks from Capitol Hill.
This place is to a certain industry in the United States what Wall Street is to financial capitalists.
This industry emerged very early, before Wall Street even took shape.
It has already appeared, it first appeared in 1808.
Abel has never had the chance to use K Street before, and this time he wants to take back Spider-Man from Sony.
Besides money, the most powerful weapon you can use is probably K Street.
Well, actually it still costs money.
If you want people on K Street to take action, you want these people to help you.
It is absolutely impossible to have no money.
All I can say is that the blame lies with Sony, which is behind the movie.
Sony happens to be Neon’s company, and Neon happens to be a breeder raised in the United States.
If the copyright of Spider-Man was in the hands of other Hollywood giants, I probably wouldn't be able to use this method.
Now.
I can only blame Sony for being unlucky.
With this in mind, he stopped discussing the topic.
Abel and Ovitz also talked about how Marvel Company will cooperate with Marvel Movies and CAA.
After staying there for about ten minutes, Ovitz realized that Abel was not talking about work.
The founder of caa was very considerate and immediately made a request to leave.
Abel looked at Annie's sticky eyes, even though Jessica had just squeezed hundreds of milliliters last night.
He was a little nervous.
Ovitz's request to leave was naturally approved immediately.
After Ovitz left, Annie became even more clingy.
Even though she was still in the private room of the restaurant, she wished she could melt into Abel's body.
It made Abel almost not want to eat, he just wanted to eat her.
But now is the year 2000, and shooting equipment such as pinhole cameras are already very mature.
This kind of place is not his own territory, there is no way he would do anything too outrageous in this kind of place.
He is building a positive image of a super rich man, but he doesn't want to fail halfway.
So he ate immediately and left directly with Anne Hathaway.
Of course not to the Hilton Hotel.
Jessica is still here.
Although the hotel is so big, the probability of encountering it is relatively low.
But he didn't want to challenge this management risk, so he took Annie to another Four Seasons Hotel.
After more than two hundred milliliters were output, Anne Hathaway fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did he have time to go to the living room next to the bedroom and call David Mellon.
"Hi, good evening. David."
"Good evening." David Mellon said over there: "I don't know what else you want me to do. But just in time, I just wanted to report to you that our crude oil futures orders have basically been sold.
Gone."
Abel was not surprised when he heard the news.
Sell the long order of international crude oil in hand. This time Abel had set the requirements more than ten days ago.
“How are the profits going?”
David Mellon answered:
“After deducting handling fees, commissions and spreads, the total profit is US$1.345 billion!
God, stay with you. Sometimes I really think that I am playing a numbers game.
How did it become so easy to make money?!"
Listening to David Mellon's excited voice, Abel smiled and said calmly:
"My grandpa Alex said that as long as you follow the right people, you can get twice the result with half the effort. The same goes for making money. David, you just follow the right people."
"Okay. Although hearing you say that makes me a little unhappy, because it makes me look like a waste."
David Mellon said on the other end of the phone:
"However, our grandfather is right! Being with the right person is more important than your own abilities!"
"That's my grandpa!" Abel pointed out David's deliberate slip of the tongue and said with a smile:
"By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know anyone on K Street in DC, or are there any channels you are familiar with?"
"K Street?"
David Mellon was stunned,
"What do you want to do again?"
Chapter completed!
