"Thank you all for coming today. It's still this time tomorrow. We're going to try out "Rain Man". This film is starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. I hope it will bring us a pleasant experience."

Immediately, Price let everyone part, leaving the director and a group of experts to discuss how to remedy "Sad Hotel".

While studying, someone suddenly came in and said a few words. Price was stunned and said, "I'm really sorry, I have something to do, I'll notify you again!"

After saying that, he left the movie room.

I ran to the main administrative building and knocked on an office with the "Chairman Office" sign, which means the chairman.

Price is just a president without shares, a senior worker, and the chairman's name is Victor Kaufman. He is an old white man with a low voice and serious voice, saying, "I'm sorry to disturb your work. This is a big deal. I must notify you."

"Speaking!"

"After the Japanese acquired the record company, they did not stop their pace, and recently asked about prices in Hollywood. Except for MGM's ambiguous attitude, the rest of the companies refused. We will hold a meeting in the afternoon, with all directors and executives attending, but before the meeting, I want to ask you what you think?" Kaufman said.

“…”

Price was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect the Japanese to come so urgently, saying, "Although the company's financial situation is not good, it has improved compared to previous years. I hope you can give me some time."

"I've given you enough time!"

Kaufman said bluntly, "I know you have made some improvements in the company, but that's all! You have no surprise breakthroughs, you even put your hopes on a Chinese, and these have made us laugh at."

"Will you not be ridiculed if you sell the company to the Japanese?"

"Mr. Price, be aware of your words!"

Kaufman was a little angry and said, "We just held a meeting to discuss, but there was no decision. Whether it was feasible was the strategic needs of Coca-Cola and the company's top leaders. If you really have that great ability, we can reject the Japanese now, why bother discussing?"

“…”

Price was speechless. Indeed, he was so awesome that he pulled Colombia out of the water, but nothing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon when the big guys had a meeting.

After a not-fever debate, we agreed that we could talk about it first, and it would be different whether to sell it or not. Sony also has this attitude, so we should talk about it first, after all, MGM is still a candidate at this time.

It is naturally not possible to acquire such a large company in the short term. It is normal to spend a year and a half of negotiations.

Price felt bad: the company's finances were really bad, so he owed more than one billion US dollars in debt, and Coca-Cola was tired of it, which was a prerequisite. The Japanese are generally recognized as wealthy, and Akio Morita and Coca-Cola's senior executives also have friendship...

Once you are done, the first one will be a senior worker who will be ruined.

…………

The next day.

Still watching the movie room.

Price was greeting Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, and laughed: "I was surprised by your arrival in person, thank you for your efforts during the filming!"

"This is an unforgettable experience, and I want to see the results of my efforts as soon as possible," Dustin Hoffman said.

"Same thing about me. I learned a lot. Under his guidance, I even felt that I had acting skills!" Tom Cruise pointed at Hoffman, making everyone laugh.

Price nodded, and it seemed that both starring actors were full of confidence.

I took my seat immediately, and without saying much, I started to screen "Rain Man". There were some experts and audiences below.

The beginning is Tom Gee's handsome face. He plays the boss of a small car business. He is smart, flexible and has a good business. On that day, he made a good deal. He was happy and wanted to take his girlfriend to spend the weekend.

As a result, I received a call and my father died... The story unfolds.

The screening room was a little whispering at first, but it slowly became quiet. "Rain Man" is essentially an art film, but it doesn't seem dull, and it is also mixed with some refreshing elements.

The brothers embarked on a journey, and the younger brother's feelings for his brother ranged from jealousy, contempt, boredom, to exploitation, learning how to get along with each other, and finally sublimated... This series of emotions promoted naturally and smoothly without any stiffness, and easily pried open everyone's emotional gate.

Compared with the movie "Sad Hotel" yesterday, it is a huge difference.

Some even sobbed...

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

After the screening, the maximum applause rang out in the hall of about 100 people. An expert group composed of scholars, film critics and reporters stood up and applauded. The tone of "Rain Man" perfectly hit their G-spot.

"This is already a pretty mature work, no improvement is needed!"

"Wow! I dare say "Rain Man" is definitely the best this year!"

"That's great! Congratulations!"

After praising her, she praised the two starring actors again: "Hoffman, you contributed an Oscar-level performance! Tom, you have made great progress!"

The two are not stupid, so of course they can see that they are bad movies. They are also quite satisfied with "Rain Man" and are so smiling from ear to ear.

Price took a reassurance because "Rain Man" has investments in Colombia, and it still accounts for the majority. Finally, there is a work that can be played and can hit next year's Oscars.

...

"Rain Man" soon spread within Colombia, and it all revealed an Oscar-level film.

Price was busy formulating a publicity plan, but was suddenly called by Chairman Victor Kaufman and asked him to arrange a movie meeting for senior board officials. After watching the movie, these big guys also praised him.

Kaufman asked, “How is the publicity plan?”

"I am going to send it to Europe to attend film festivals in the summer, and then participate in several small film festivals in the United States in the second half of the year, bringing the reputation to be released in December, and it will hit the Oscars."

This is a very standard strategy.

Kaufman frowned and said, "Dec is a bit late, what about the summer vacation?"

"The competition during the summer season is fierce. Although I am confident in "Rain Man" and can achieve a good box office, it is not conducive to the Olympics." Price responded.

"All companies have put their works in full release in December, which is just a customary habit and is not a necessary condition. As long as the works are good and the public relations are in place, they can still win the favor of the Oscars."

Kaufmann ended this inexplicable movie-watching meeting without comment.

Price thought about it more and more something was wrong. Suddenly, his heart thumped: "Don't you want to use "Rain Man" to make a fuss?"

………

Late at night, in a mansion.

Chairman Kaufman is looking through some information.

Colombia is expected to release 12-15 new films this year, all of which are involved in investment. The first three films at the beginning of the year have already lost, with a total cost of US$41 million and a total box office of US$28.275 million!

The boots in Washington were itchy.

Looking at other films, it feels that the level is mediocre, and only this "Rain Man" has the capital of the emperor. Looking at the cost, the total cost is 25 million, and Oriental Company invested 8 million, accounting for 32%.

Although it was issued by Colombia, the contract signing of both parties was extremely strict, and from a legal perspective, it eliminated the loopholes in Colombia's money-making.

Let’s look at the films released by the agency, and there is also an Oriental company film called “I Know What You Do Last Summer”.
