"Boss, I'...... I ......" Arnold gritted his teeth: "Can I invite you to my house at the right time?"

Well?

Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he smiled: Is this guy expressing his loyalty to himself in this way?

"Of course it's no problem," Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "You can communicate with my secretary in advance." ”

Arnold didn't expect Chen Geng to be so easy to speak, and he agreed to himself so happily, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement!

There is no other reason!

Because in Arnold's view, the reason why Mr. Fernández agreed so happily is because he values himself, and it also proves his status in the eyes of the boss from the side, and also indirectly proves that his future in Hollywood is bright.

Thinking of the past few years, the company has released two movies every year, although the number of productions is not much, but each one is a high-quality product, and each one has earned a lot of income for the boss, and he has been valued by the boss......

Arnold's whole face turned red with excitement!

Money, wealth, status...... It was as if he saw all of this beckoning to him.

Just as the two were talking, director Mark Lester came to Chen Geng with two guests——, seeing Chen Geng, the two were obviously a little restrained and nervous.

Chen Geng has some impressions of these two people, it seems that they are the guests invited by the crew to participate in tonight's premiere, but looking at their dress and temperament, they don't look like actors.

Chen Geng gave Mark Lester a lot of face, and was the first to greet him: "Hey, Mark, congratulations on making another blockbuster movie." ”

After greeting Mark Lester, out of politeness, Chen Geng nodded to the two guys who were obviously a little restrained about this: "What do you call the two gentlemen?"

"Thank you, thank you......"

Mark Lester couldn't stop laughing, although this "Alone in Dragon Pool" is a one-step movie popcorn movie, but what does it matter, as long as you can make money, it is a good movie, and in Hollywood, Mr. Fernandez is famous for his generosity, as long as the movie makes money, he never hesitates to send a big red envelope to the actors, directors and staff behind the scenes. If you have money to take, of course you're happy.

After a few polite words with Chen Geng, Mark Lester also knew that he was not good at taking up too much time from Chen Geng, so he immediately introduced the two people he brought to Chen Geng: "Boss, let me introduce you, this Mr. Jim Thomas, this is Mr. John Thomas, Jim's younger brother, yes, Brother Thomas has written a script, hoping to get your investment." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Geng responded, but didn't say anything, but continued to look at Mark Lester.

Since Chen Geng's reputation of "winning many battles" began in Hollywood, there are not too many people who have submitted and sponsored him through various ways, even if the Thomas brothers in front of him were personally introduced by Mark Lester, Chen Geng could not rashly accept their contributions.

Mark Lester also knew that his own words were definitely not enough, and he then introduced to Chen Geng: "I simply turned over their script, and this script by the Thomas brothers basically said something like this:

A special unit of the US military lost contact and was missing when it was carrying out a mission in the jungles of Central and South America, and the US military once again sent a special operations team specializing in special rescue to the jungle where the team was missing to rescue them......

The rescue team found that all the members of the missing special operations team had been brutally killed in the jungle, some had their heads cut off, and some had their skins stripped ......"

Predator!

Hearing this, before Mark Lester finished speaking, Chen Geng already knew what this script was: Hollywood's classic big IP, the Predator who was known as the most brutal alien killer that countless Predator fans talked about.

Want to invest in making this movie?

Of course!

Although the subsequent "Predator 2", "Alien vs. Predator" two-part series, "Predator 3" and "Predator 4" either did not make money or lost money, but the first "Predator" starring Arnold caused a huge sensation that year, with a North American box office of more than $58 million and a global box office of more than $100 million.

Arnold's eyes were full of brilliance when he heard this, and he couldn't help but interject: "Boss, this story sounds a little interesting." ”

"Well, that's a bit interesting," Chen Geng nodded quietly, and asked Jim Thomas, "Jim, right? I can call you that, right? This story is interesting, can you tell me the source of your idea for this story?"

"Of course, of course," Jim Thomas nodded hurriedly, Mr. Fernandez's willingness to call himself by his name is a sign of his appreciation, and Jim Thomas is certainly not stupid enough to refuse: "That's right, Mr. Stallone's "Rocky 4" will be released next month......"

"Wait a minute," Chen Geng interrupted Jim Thomas in surprise and asked, "This story of yours is still related to Mr. Stallone's "Rocky 4"?"

"It's a little bit related," explains Jim Thomas, "'Rocky 4' is about the story of Mr. Lodge and the Soviet boxing champion......

Speaking of this, Jim Thomas paused slightly, while carefully observing Chen Geng's reaction.

Chen Geng nodded.

As a few years later, in terms of publicity, before the start of filming, a movie will always inform the audience of the general storyline of the film through the media, so that everyone can have a general impression of the storyline to be told by the movie, and then arouse the curiosity of the audience and let them go into the cinema to buy tickets after the official release of the movie, "Rocky 4" Of course, this movie is no exception, although the movie will not be officially released for more than a month, but the general storyline of this movie has long been known to everyone.

Jim Thomas then continued: "After knowing the general plot of this movie, there was a joke circulating in Hollywood, saying that Mr. Rocky could not find an opponent on Earth, and his opponent in the next "Rocky 5" is probably only aliens, this joke gave our brothers some inspiration, and we thought, why not write a story about the elite fighters of the Earth's special forces fighting aliens?"

Hearing this, Chen Geng no longer had any doubts in his heart: That's right, the script in front of him is "Predator", and there will definitely be no mistake.

"Sounds interesting......"

As he spoke, Chen Geng took the script from Mark Lester's hands.

Brother Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.
