Chapter 279 278. Add some ice to this summer

Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

Hahahaha “cheers!”

Clink, clink, clink! The wine glasses clinked together with a crisp sound. Except for Joshua, the Cooper family gathered together for a family gathering to celebrate overcoming the difficulties.

But if Joshua were really there, he would probably have a heart attack out of envy.

He just had sex with two ordinary girls and his legs were broken.

Eric has already dated five famous female stars. This is the gap. He will definitely regret not entering the entertainment industry.

The father said with a red face: "Harvey Weinstein actually has the nerve to beg for mercy, what is going on in his head!"

"Haha...that's because he's scared and is about to be driven crazy. I heard that Weinstein Company is considering firing him. It's funny to think about being fired by the company he founded." Nicole said with a smile.

"This is also normal. The Weinstein brothers have had conflicts for a long time. Bob is in charge of internal affairs, while Harvey is in charge of external affairs. In fact, both of them have played a decisive role in the development of the company."

"But it's clear that most of the glory and benefits were taken away by Harvey Weinstein, and Bob has always had some resentment in his heart."

"Now that the ship is about to capsize, he certainly won't be buried with Harvey. Those directors also want to step on it."

Eric took a bite of the ostrich meat and it was still delicious.

I just don't know if my mother-in-law would do something like drinking medicine if she knew Nicole was not Eric's only woman.

"That orc is now just a pile of stinky shit. Everyone who sees him is disgusted. I'm afraid I'll step on him when I walk."

"Michael Ainas also mobilized his connections, hoping to unite the power of the six major organizations to put pressure on the victims and try to settle the matter with compensation."

"But it seems that few people buy it. Did you see the updates posted by Jeffrey Katzenberg?"

"I saw it last night. Now I understand what you said. It seems that the person he was talking about who wanted to use his power to plead for Harvey turned out to be Michael Aeneas." Theron suddenly realized.

"But it seems that Katzenberg doesn't want to give him this face. Not only does he not want to, he also publicly slapped him in the face, and the only thing left was to put Einar's name on the list."

Gadot asked curiously, "Wasn't Katzenberg a big contributor to Disney in the past? I remember he was the director of The Lion King, right? The two of them should be old acquaintances."

The Olsen sisters, who have been running a company, have a lot of experience in this regard.

"Gadot, would you like your boss?"

Gadot looked at Eric and said, "You know this better than I do."

"Okay, this is a special case, but workers don't like capitalists, and Katzenberg is the same. When he was at Disney, funding, manpower, and projects were all blocked."

"At that time, I was inferior to others. After I started working on my own, who would be willing to treat my former boss well?"

"Before DreamWorks handed over the overseas distribution rights to MGM, it was under great pressure, and Michael Aeneas did not have any feelings for them at that time."

"Katzenberg must have been irritated by this."

Dad shook his head slightly: "He can't help Harvey. Weinstein is doomed this time. I've received news from them. It is estimated that there will be problems in Disney's amusement park in a few days."

"The timing is perfect now. By then, Michael Aeneas won't have the energy to care about Harvey Weinstein. He might even kick him out."

"By the way, I noticed that MGM's stock price has recovered. This is a good thing. Did you buy it?"

The five women nodded in unison. When the stock market plummeted some time ago, it really caused a frenzy. Many people thought that MGM was going to be finished, and they were scrambling to sell their shares.

Eric encouraged them to eat as much as they could, as now was a great time.

The five women have always been very obedient in business matters, except that Gadot had little savings, so Eric secretly gave her some money.

The richest Olsen sisters have taken a 0.7% stake.

“In fact, although the price is relatively high now, you can still continue to buy. In a few days, I expect MGM’s stock price to usher in a big leap.”

"Honey, are you saying that Frozen is going to be a big hit at the box office?"

"Yes, it will definitely be a huge hit, and the whole world will be fascinated by Princess Elsa."

"You're exaggerating. Will it be stronger than Shark Tale?"

Two months ago, "Shark Tale" took in nearly $430 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing animated film of the year.

And it only cost about 70 million US dollars, which really made a lot of money for DreamWorks.

This movie is indeed excellent, but another reason why it achieved box office results far beyond expectations is that the Big Six and MGM had a dispute, which led to the postponement of many blockbusters, giving DreamWorks the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The box office of 430 million is indeed quite terrifying, surpassing last year's "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 3", and on par with "Terminator 3", ranking 7th in the year.

Many people predict that "Shark Tale" will be among the top three animated films this year. The reason for it being in the top three is that there is also a DreamWorks blockbuster "Shrek 2: The Monsters" and Disney's big production "The Incredibles".

As for "Frozen", the response has not been very good since the trailer was released.

In order to maintain the mystery, the trailer must not include those high-energy shots, nor can it include the classic song "Let it Go".

When the audience and many film critics saw that the film was adapted from Andersen's fairy tale, some people's interest was immediately dampened.

The story of "The Snow Queen" is too old-fashioned. People have heard it for decades and know the plot outline with their eyes closed. There is absolutely no mystery at all.

On the other hand, its rival, "Shrek the Monsters", took a subversive and anti-routine approach. The first film gave people a refreshing feeling and everyone liked it very much.

The Incredibles sounds like it will have great visuals and battle animations that will appeal to teens and adults alike.

In contrast, the sense of anticipation for Frozen is not as strong as it seems.

But there were also many positive reviews. For example, in the trailer released, the audience unanimously agreed that "Frozen" completely surpassed all animated films released last year in terms of the exquisiteness of the pictures.

Even though "Shark Tale", which was also produced by DreamWorks, has a huge difference in picture quality.

After all, the cost is there. The $70 million may be inflated, while the other is a real investment of $180 million.

In order to produce the snowflake special effects in "Frozen", the technical teams of DreamWorks and MGM specially developed more than a dozen software and new technologies, which brought innovation to the industry.

This is why movie companies are considered technology companies.

"Let's wait and see. I'm going to cool down this hot summer!"

The time came to June 11th, the premiere of "Frozen".

Arclight Cinemas is still MGM’s strategic partner, with a long red carpet extending to the edge of the asphalt road.

This time, Eric arrived at the scene in the same car with Judy. Maybe his fake father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching them, so he still had to behave properly.

He also made it clear to the five women about their current relationship.

After knowing that Judy was a lesbian and the two of them were just having a casual affair, Gadot felt a little aggrieved, but she still agreed for the sake of Eric's career.

Not too many celebrities were invited this time, only good friends came to show their support, after all, the storm has not completely passed yet.

Under the flash lights, everyone took a group photo in front of the camera.

Ashley voiced Princess Elsa. She suddenly frowned. It turned out that Judy was standing next to her. Thinking about her sexual orientation, she suddenly felt something strange.

"Eric, have you seen that photo?" Ryan Reynolds asked in a mean way.

"What photos? Which celebrity's privacy did you get?"

"What are you talking about? I'm a gentleman. I'm talking about the photo of Harvey Weinstein being taken into the police station. He looks like he's ten years older. His hair is all gray."

"Then guess who did it?"

"It must be you, no need to guess!"

"Haha. This old bitch framed me. I submitted all the evidence. Michael Aeneas dragged it out for a few days, but he couldn't be saved."

"I saw on the news that Disneyland in California had a safety hazard and was ordered to close for a month for rectification. Was that also your fault?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What do you think? He's pretty good. He was planning to take at least three months to sort it out."

Ryan Reynolds' mouth twitched. He couldn't do such intrigue. He would be satisfied to be a star in this life.

Celine Dion's arrival made the paparazzi extremely excited.

"Look here, look here Celine, are you alone? Are Michael, Jenny, and Jayz coming too?"

Celine Dion smiled and waved, "I don't know much about the three of them, but I came here with a mission, and I sang the theme song."

"Don't leave later, remember to buy tickets and come in, so you can hear this new song."

Celine Dion is worthy of being the queen of sketches. She has a humorous and easy-going personality and can make the paparazzi laugh with just a few words.

"Who is the champion of The Voice?"

Celine Dion glanced at the other party and saw the sign that read The Independent.

"I will not accept any interviews related to anything other than the film today. This is the premiere. Also, I don't know who the champion of The Voice of China will be. Everything will wait until the live broadcast of the finals."

"How about your new song? If not, can I get a refund?" a paparazzi asked.

"Of course it sounds good. It's excellent, a rare masterpiece. I can tell you right now that you must come and watch the premiere. You will feel as moved as Titanic."

The paparazzi's eyes lit up at the bold statement, and they immediately prepared a headline in their minds: Celine Dion says that the theme song of "Frozen" is better than "My Heart Will Go On".

Even if someone says that they are not inferior to each other, but in the mouth of the paparazzi, it will become superior.

"Celine, is it really as great as you said? Even more classic than My Heart Will Go On?"

"Haha. I know your tricks. You want to trick me, but I won't be fooled."

At this time, Eric came over and hugged Celine Dion.

"Thanks for coming, Siddy."

"This is my job, and I should be the one to thank you. Thank you for letting me sing "Let It Go"."

Celine Dion's gratitude was genuine when Eric approached her with the song.

Just by humming along with the tune, she realized what an excellent piece of music it was.

When she sang it with piano for the second time, she knew she had to get the rights to sing this song.

When I finally watched the sample video and saw my own singing accompanying the animation, I was so moved that I felt like I was back in 1997, back on that big ship.

Is this song difficult to sing?

Actually, it is not that big. The main thing is that the range of sound should be wide and the high notes can reach well.

There are a lot of such singers in the European and American music scene. As long as they have the right physical functions and have received systematic training, they can do it.

To be honest, there is no pressure at all from your teens to your fifties or sixties.

And Eric was willing to let me sing such an excellent work, which was just like "The Voice of China", a gift from God.

Celine Dion had a hunch that "The Voice" would make her rise again, and "Let It Go" would bring her to the peak of the 1990s again.

She really couldn't understand Eric's creative ability. She could only sigh at his genius and at the same time complain that God was unfair.

It is a waste and heartbreaking to let a person who does not have much passion for music have such a strong creative talent.

Compared to Celine Dion, Eric didn't dwell too much when considering the singer.

Michael's voice is obviously not suitable, and "Let it Go" is destined to be sung by a female voice, otherwise Princess Elsa will soon transform when walking in the snow.

The bgm is a man's singing, which is too incongruous. The audience will be embarrassed and laugh to death.

As for female vocals, there are only Taylor Swift and Shui Shui under Mei Yi. Taylor Swift still has a hoarse voice, so she definitely can't sing well, and the effect will not be good if she forces herself to sing.

Fruit's body functions are very strong, but a bit too strong, which makes the voice too deep.

She is suitable for songs with strong explosive power, but it doesn't match Ashley's voice at all and there is no chemical reaction.

Excluding Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, Eric also thought of Laura McArthur, Avril Lavigne and others who could use this song to pick up girls.

But the reason for giving up was still the same: the sound didn’t match.

In the end, the choice fell on Celine Dion. Her unrivaled singing skills allowed her to easily handle the song, and the two also had a good relationship.

Think about it, from the 1990s to the 2020s, in the past 30 years, countless movies have been produced around the world, and countless theme songs and interludes have been born.

But in terms of comprehensive popularity and classic level, only "My Heart Will Go On" and "Let It Go" stand out from the rest.

"The Sound of Music" is not enough, "Waterloo Bridge" is not enough, "Ghost" is not enough, "Castle in the Sky" is not enough . "See You Again" may be able to pass twice, but it is still not enough.

The fact that two famous songs were sung by one singer is a good story in the history of film and music.

In the cinema, people gradually came in and took their seats. As the lights dimmed, the noisy voices disappeared.

Aw! The golden lion roared, and Frozen began.
