Chapter 108: bad news to come

The morning sun slowly shines in through the windows, giving people a soft warmth.

Ryan looked at Monica Bellucci in his arms, and suddenly felt a kind of satisfaction, both physically and spiritually.

Last night, the two of them entangled for several hours, playing a lot of new tricks, changing four or five sets of clothes, and six or seven pairs of stockings, high heels, boots, etc., making the apartment full of clothes, shoes, Stockings are a mess.

Of course, if there are more tricks, it will be perfect.

Don't think about it, it's just a small private fashion show. Monica Bellucci is back to her old business. She made a guest appearance as a model. There is nothing unhealthy about it.

As for the audience, of course there was only Ryan alone.

"What time is it?" Monica Bellucci seemed to be awakened by Ryan's dishonest hands, and asked the time with a sigh.

Ryan looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, "It's half past nine, you can sleep for a while."

There was a flight to the UK at noon, and Monica Bellucci needed to take this flight to the UK to finish filming the rest of "Leaving Las Vegas", which would take about ten days or so.

Therefore, I played a little special program last night.

"Don't sleep anymore, I need to go to the crew first to deal with some things." Monica Bellucci got up and got out of bed naked, and picked up the clothes, shoes, and stockings on the ground one by one .

Not long after, Monica Bellucci put on a change of clothes and kissed Ryan lightly, "If you get up now, maybe we still have a little time to have dinner together."

"A sweet breakfast!" Ryan joked, and began to get up and change clothes, accompanied Monica-Belucci to have a sweet breakfast, and each drove out of the apartment.

When he came downstairs to the studio, Ryan parked the car, walked into the studio, and started to deal with a bunch of messy things.

The hype in the media for more than a week has almost turned into a negative scandal.

In the end, Ryan had to come forward in person? Clarified the facts with the media? Even called Richard Gere to explain a little bit.

At least he didn't interfere in their marriage.

Regarding Ryan's explanation? Richard Gere was very calm? After just chatting for a while, he ended the call.

He divorced Cindy - Crawford? Naturally not because of any third party.

Moreover, facing the news in the newspaper? Richard Gere didn't have much reaction.

For one thing he's already signed a divorce agreement with Cindy Crawford? She doesn't care if she's dating and has no right to stop her.

Secondly, it's no secret that Cindy Crawford has signed a contract with CAA, and the relationship between Ryan and CAA? Almost the entire Hollywood knows.

With caa in the middle? It is impossible for the two to have a relationship beyond friendship.

This is the most basic common sense in Hollywood.

In addition, Ryan has to deal with another very difficult thing.

Since the Oscars ended, there seems to be a bit of a twist on the Touchstone side.

First, he said that the good funds were not in place. Then, he began to talk about the producer candidates proposed by Ryan? He changed his plan and proposed to reduce the investment in the film? Even the matter of little Taylor, which Disney had already promised? Misfortune happened.

At the Vanity Fair dinner that day, Michael Ovitz didn't just talk about it? He really started to act.

An action aimed specifically at him.

"Michael Ovitz!"

Ryan suddenly has some headaches? Michael Ovitz, who is about to be the president of Disney? Obviously, he no longer cares about Twentieth Century Fox. Canyon Novel Network

He even had some doubts that there seemed to be the shadow of Disney CEO Michael Eisner behind this matter.

Michael Ovitz was the successor chosen by Michael Eisner, but in the end Michael Ovitz failed to stay in Disney and was kicked out by a group of company directors.

For this reason, Michael Eisner decided to let Disney pay $120 million in remuneration.

When Ryan was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Helen suddenly walked in from the outside in a hurry, "Carter-Eisner from Touchstone will be here soon. He came very suddenly, so it might not be good news."

Thinking of Touchstone's recent actions, Ryan stood up abruptly. It really wasn't good news. Carter Eisner is not only the head of Touchstone, but also the current Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, is his uncle.

If even he had to come in person, I am afraid that the cooperation with Touchstone might be broken.

"Immediately, inform Sophia that once Touchstone announces the cessation of cooperation, she needs to take control of the situation immediately, and the town's renovation project cannot be stopped."

"Also tell Swift that he is ready to collect funds, and if necessary, he can liquidate all stocks."

After finishing speaking, Ryan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "Once Touchstone unilaterally announces to stop cooperation, there are only two options before us, the first is to temporarily freeze the shooting of "The Truman Show" Plan, find new collaborators, secondly raise funds, shoot the film first, and then discuss with 20th Century Fox or Paramount about the distribution of the film."

"No matter what the final result is, a lot of money is needed, at least about 10 million US dollars, to fill the funding problem brought by the touchstone, Helen, you should understand what I mean."

Helen nodded with a serious expression, and said, "I'll go and urge 20th Century Fox to pay the box office share of "Saw 2" right away."

As long as 20th Century Fox pays a little faster, even if Touchstone terminates the cooperation, the studio still has enough funds to continue preparing for the crew.

Of course, you can also seek the support of community banks.

As for temporarily suspending the preparations for the crew, unless it is absolutely necessary and Ryan doesn't want to, the funds invested in the early stage will be wasted in vain.

"However, it is estimated that 20th Century Fox may not pay immediately, unless a substantive concession is made on the investment ratio of the next "Chain Saw." Helen said helplessly.

The box office share of "Chain Saw 2" can be fully credited to the account within half a year, even if it is fast, the time for the overseas box office share to arrive will be even longer, so we need to wait slowly, at least a year. will be credited successively

That's what's normal in Hollywood.

"Let's see the situation first." Ryan frowned, "At least for a while, the funds are still sufficient."

"As long as 20th Century Fox can pay as scheduled, in terms of time, it should be in time."

Of course, you can't trust any Hollywood film company too much, including 20th Century Fox, which has cooperated several times.

"I contacted the community bank last time. It would be best if I could lend 10 million dollars." Ryan thought for a while, and it was better to make more preparations, and not just rely on 20th Century Fox to avoid unexpected situations.

"As for Carter-Eisner!"

There was a gleam in Ryan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's see what his plan is when he comes here this time."

The most important thing right now is not the funds, but the impact if Touchstone really terminates the cooperation, as well as Carter-Eisner's intentions.

Better to be a false alarm.

Of course, you have to plan for the worst.
