George Lucas spent the night at Spielberg's house.

The next day, at noon, he said goodbye and left.

On the way, his car passed by a video store.

"Pluto, stop. "

The car slows down and stops.

"Pluto, you go to this video store and buy a CD of Martin Meyers, the album is called "Martin 1", etc., or buy a CD and a record, no, two. "

George Lucas had just suddenly arisen into the heart of collecting.

Martin Meyers's soundtrack ability is so strong, the quality of his albums will definitely not be bad, buy two CDs and records to go back, one for listening to and the other for collection.

After a while, Pluto, a bodyguard and driver, walked out of the video store, holding two records and two CDs in his hands.

After getting in the car, George Lucas couldn't wait for Pluto to open a CD and put it into the car stereo to play.

Melodious laryngeal sounds.

George Lucas was immersed in the world of music almost immediately.

Pluto, who was driving, was also attracted by the music, and his head kept shaking with the music, but fortunately, his professionalism was good, and he didn't forget that he was still driving.

Wait until the second music hits.

George Lucas's complexion changed, and at his age, he suddenly felt that his ability in some aspect suddenly became 800.

"Hiss——!"

Music still has this kind of function?!

George Lucas was shocked, then knocked on his seat and said to Pluto: "Change your itinerary, don't go back to the farm, go to 113 Castellan Street." "

It is a private club known only to a small circle, specializing in providing a variety of paid special services for the wealthy.

For the sake of security and privacy, this clubhouse has no name, only an address.

Martin has been busy lately.

But he would love to.

In order to promote the movie, in order to get more money and more desires, he is willing to do it.

However, in his busy schedule, he still found time to negotiate with Nicole Kidman about the purchase of the script for "Island Cry" and the investment of the film.

To his surprise, Tom Cruise, who he thought he would not show up, also came, and said that his Cruise Films would also participate in the investment.

Martin and Jeff discussed it for a while and agreed.

They were looking at Tom Cruise's connections with the publisher.

And Tom Cruise is naturally not stupid, and naturally sees the potential of this movie with the same style as "The Sixth Sense".

"The Sixth Sense" is a big hit, and there's no reason why "Island Horror (CBFH)" is losing money!

Still, Martin pulled Miramax into the film platter project.

The reason he gave was that Harvey Weinstein had strong connections in Europa, and the film could try to win at the Europa Film Festival.

The final share of investment is as follows: Tom Cruise invests 15 million US dollars, accounting for 30 percent, Miramax Films invests 15 million US dollars + connections, accounting for 40 percent, and Martin personally invests 10 million US dollars + Ben + soundtrack + staff, accounting for 30%.

In fact, Martin didn't want to participate in this movie at first, and the new script "Hide and Seek" he created for himself has already been written and is preparing to be sent to major film companies.

"Hide and Seek" is his highlight, after all, in "Island Cry", Nicole Kidman is the absolute protagonist, and the presence of the two children is not strong.

The role of the little girl in this play, he was actually prepared for Lindsay Lohan, after all, he robbed someone else's "Natural Pair".

But Tom Cruise and Harvey Weinstein are all urging him to join the mix, as is Nicole Kidman, who even said she could accept Martin adding to her role.

After Martin thought about it, he still agreed, on the one hand, he could take care of Lindsay Lohan on the set, and on the other hand, it was also for the sake of the box office, you know, Nicole Kidman has never been an actor who can resist the box office!

Of course, this "Island Cry" is an exception, but who would be disgusted with more box office!

Strange to say, Nicole Kidman's beauty is recognized by Hollywood, but her movies just can't catch fire, and it seems that neither men nor women are willing to pay for her movies.

Except for the special case of "Island Cry", none of the movies starring Nicole Kidman can carry the box office. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In the future, this great beauty was even named by Forbes magazine - the most unworthy movie star in Hollywood.

Even in the upcoming movie "Eyes Wide Open" next year, Tom Cruise himself ended, and Nicole Kidman did not hesitate to untie his clothes in the movie, but still failed to bring the box office.

By the way, the film "Eyes Wide Open" was filmed last year, and director Kubrick died of a heart attack without warning five days after handing over the film to Warner.

The death of this director has a lot of conspiracy theories in Hollywood, so the author won't say more about it here.

Because of the sudden death of the director, the post-production of the film was missing a backbone, resulting in post-production taking almost a year, and it was not released until 1999.

Obviously, Tom Cruise, Harvey Weinstein, and Nicole Kidman herself have no confidence in Nicole Kidman's single-handed box office ability, and try their best to invite Martin to participate.

Martin finally agreed, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Nicole is really unlucky, the only opportunity in her life to prove that she can carry the box office alone was lost, and she took the initiative to hand it over to herself.

Martin can imagine that when this movie is a big hit, everyone will take credit for it.

After all, he already has two successful works.

And Nicole Kidman - Zero!

After finishing "Island Cry", Martin continued to go on various interviews and programs non-stop to promote "The Sixth Sense".

At the same time, taking advantage of the popularity of "The Sixth Sense", Martin's new book, which is also the first of a series of works he attaches the most importance to, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", was grandly launched to the market by Random House.

Unlike the cold reception received by JK Rowling, the original author of the series, in the original timeline, Martin's fame and the vigorous publicity of Random House made this new book skyrocket as soon as it was published.

In the first month, North American sales reached 500,000 copies, which is equivalent to a full year of J.K. Rowling's publication, or global data.

(PS: In the original timeline, "Harry Potter" sold mediocre when it was first published, one is because J.K. Rowling is not well-known, and the other is because the publisher did not promote it vigorously.) It wasn't until Warner bought the film rights and intervened in the promotion of this series of novels that "Harry Potter" finally soared. )

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is just the beginning of a whole big series.

And the little wizard wielding a magic wand also exerted his power quickly under the influence of Martin's fame.

From North America to Europa to Australia and New Zealand, the novel has caused a buying frenzy, and what is even more terrifying is the periphery of the novel, where the wizarding robes, magic wands, and school emblems of the four branches of Hogwarts are selling like crazy.

Because the setting of the novel is in the Kingdom of Great Britain, the book sold in England at a rate no less than in the United States, which is several times larger in size and population.

(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) )。
