Chapter 53 54. The pattern needs to be opened (please collect and read)

Bang! The champagne was shaken violently, and the cork sprayed directly into the air.

Warren poured the wine into the glass tower, and applause and cheers suddenly broke out all around .

"Please welcome our great hero!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the director and a group of leading actors of "Sharknado" were pushed out, and streamers and champagne were immediately sprayed on them.

Hahahaha "How does it feel to be a big star?" Eric joked

Director Anthony Ferrante was excited: "Mr. Eric, don't make fun of me. This is a miracle, and you are the real creator of the miracle, don't you think?"

Yeah! Everyone cheered again, and the strong woman Bemahadi smiled rarely: "Eric, say a few words, we are all waiting."

Eric originally attended the celebration party just to have some fun, but when he saw the expectant looks in the employees' eyes, he knew what they were thinking.

"The success of Sharknado is inseparable from the efforts of all of us. During Christmas, because the movie was still in theaters, no one received the bonus."

"But I think now is the time to increase everyone's year-end bonus by $10,000 as a belated holiday greeting!"

Money is always the most attractive thing. More than 50 employees of AK Films were instantly excited. I don’t know who proposed to throw Eric into the air. The atmosphere of the celebration banquet reached its peak.

After joining everyone in the fun for a while, a few people came to a relatively quiet place to discuss the next developments.

The first is naturally the sequel to "Sharknado". After it became a hit, this bad movie has formed its own unique influence, but there is also a problem, that is Ryan Reynolds.

He is now the second male lead in "Transformers" and will surely soar to fame in the future. I'm afraid he may not continue to star in "Sharknado". After all, no actor wants to have a bad movie on his resume.

Several people's eyes fell on Ryan Reynolds. If the male lead was changed, the viewing experience of the movie would definitely be compromised.

"Ryan, are you still going to be in Sharknado 2? If you don't want to, just say so. No one will blame you."

Who would have thought that Ryan Reynolds would actually grin and say, "Of course I will continue to act. I am the leading actor. Are you planning to replace me?"

Warren was a little surprised: "Aren't you worried about your reputation? Sharknado has the potential to be the worst movie now. Just go to IMDB and you will be shocked by its rating."

Ryan Reynolds didn't care: "It doesn't matter. Like Eric said, the worst is art. Ed Wood's movies are also highly praised. I think Sharknado is such a movie."

"You don't know, since the movie was released, I have truly felt what it's like to be a big star. When I walk on the street, fans will often ask me for autographs and take photos with me. I have been in the industry for more than ten years, but I have never had this experience before."

"Let me tell you, Sharknado is going to be my masterpiece, and as long as it's being made, I'm going to keep acting in it, forever!"

Ryan Reynolds' attitude made everyone feel relieved. He is indeed a grateful person. Eric did not deceive him and gave him too much. He knew very well what to do.

However, as fame grows, treatment will also increase. When "Sharknado 2" starts filming, Ryan Reynolds will be the only actor to enjoy dividend benefits.

After taking a sip of red wine, Bemahadi said, "Then Sharknado 2 will still be released in December, and we will continue to release one per year in the future."

"Wouldn't it be better to schedule it in the summer? Movies are shot very quickly anyway, and I see a lot of people online looking forward to the second part." Warren expressed a different opinion.

But this time Eric didn't support him.

"Warren, movies have a sense of freshness and fatigue. The second movie is released in just half a year. The market potential cannot be nurtured. One movie a year is already the limit. We must give the audience time to recover."

"But what should we do during this period? It is foreseeable that the company's funds will be sufficient in the near future, and we will need to do something."

"Do I need to teach you this? Have you forgotten why I founded AK Films? You can just start by copying MGM's movies."

"Now that Saw is very popular, you can make an Axe or Scythe movie."

"MGM has Red Dragon and Hannibal, so you can make Blue Dragon and Hannibal Tree. There is also the 007 series, so you can make the 001 series. Note the similarity between the number '1' printed on the cover and the '7'."

"By the way, Legally Blonde 2 will also be released this year. You can shoot Legally Blonde 2 first and release it sooner. The plot is about a lawyer and a beautiful woman falling in love."

"Spider-Man is also very popular, so we can make Fly Man or Dragonfly Man. In short, just go for it boldly."

These words made everyone's eyes light up. The overall situation was just opened up!

Eric then added: "Of course, we have to make these purely commercial bad films or knockoff fraud films, but we can't completely fall into this vicious circle. We can't let go of low-budget B-level films either."

"After Sharknado became famous, AK Films also gained some fame. There will definitely be screenwriters and directors who will come to promote their products. If we think there is potential, we will buy it."

“In addition, I have a script outline in my hand, called The Purge, and you can find a screenwriter to fill in the content.

This script should not be messed up like Sharknado, and the cost should be controlled within 3 million US dollars, which is the focus of AK Films in the first half of the year. "

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After arranging the company's affairs, Eric pulled Ryan Reynolds aside again and said, "Ryan, you have to be ready. Join the group for training in the next few days."

Hearing this, Ryan Reynolds looked excited: "Is Transformers finally going to start filming?"

"Well, the filming is scheduled to start in early February, but the actors need to join the crew for half a month of training, especially you. You have a lot of fighting scenes, and I hope you can present the best effect. Don't tell me you want to use a body double when the time comes."

Ryan Reynolds patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and I will never let you down!"

A day later, Eric boarded a flight to New York, this time his destination was not Hasbro, but JPMorgan Chase.

Not long after he walked out of the waiting hall and was looking around, a silver-white Panamera suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Get in the car!" A woman's voice came from the driver's seat.

Without a doubt, Eric opened the car door.

"Do you smoke?"

“I’m not interested in nicotine.”

"Mind if I smoke?"

"It's your freedom, ma'am."

The accelerator was stepped on and the Panamera started again.

"Where are you going to take me?"

"hotel!"
