After the screening of the movie "The Sixth Sense", Kyle invited important members of the crew to dine together at a Michelin three-star restaurant near the company.
What?
You said you need to make a reservation for a Michelin three-star restaurant?
Stop it, man!
Although most Michelin three-star restaurants advertise that reservations must be made several days or even a month in advance, and this applies to everyone, it is all a bluff. If you believe it, you are a fool. It is nothing more than a means of raising their own status.
Who is Kyle?
He is a famous billionaire!
Some time ago, he became the target of ridicule by many media outlets because of his investment in large ships. But even so, he is still a celebrity, otherwise, the media and newspapers would not be so boring.
So if Kyle wants to book a three-star Michelin restaurant in the Los Angeles area, he can basically do it with just one phone call.
Steak, red wine, caviar, etc. are all top-quality products. After all, Kyle has to show off occasionally, especially in front of ladies. He is also a man who cares about his reputation.
Bruce Willis raised his glass and said to Kyle, "Thank you, Mr. Page, and thank you for inviting me to star in the movie "The Sixth Sense."
Kyle waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It was Victor and Shyamalan who decided to choose you as the leading actor in this film. But after watching the whole film, I have to say that you have broken the stereotype of a tough guy that I have in mind."
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Bruce Willis sighed repeatedly, "Of course, I'm very grateful to Mr. Jones and Director Shyamalan for giving me this opportunity. After all, the movies I've made in the past decade or so have basically been action movies. Even if the audiences don't get tired of them, I'm tired of them myself."
Hearing this, Kyle nodded.
Die Hard 1, Die Hard 2, Sunset, Hudson's Hawk...
Take a look at Bruce Willis's films over the past decade or so: they're all essentially the same old action films. The film "Hudson's Hawk" flopped at the box office and earned him a Razzie Award for Worst Actor. Audiences have a strong impression of him as an action actor who only knows how to fight.
Therefore, this time he starred in a non-action film like "The Sixth Sense".
It is a rare experience and an opportunity for the audience to see a different side of him.
"I, Bruce Willis, am not only capable of fighting, but can also play other types of roles," Bruce said in a deep voice.
Bruce and Kyle boasted about their business to each other and drank several glasses of red wine and whiskey in a row.
Victor and director Shyamalan were also there to praise the production, and the atmosphere was really good.
"Mr. Page, I'll toast you too," said Angelina Jolie.
"OK."
Immediately, Kyle looked at the famous actor in front of him with great interest.
Yes, Kyle was greedy for her body. But at this moment, Kyle behaved very appropriately, as if he were not interested in her at all.
Angelina Jolie, is no pushover!
Think about it, man.
How many actresses who can succeed in Hollywood, a place where everyone eats people, are easy to deal with, especially in the future, she is a member of the Hollywood 20 million salary club. For example, Bruce Willis, a seemingly honest and tough actor, has cheated on his wife and had mistresses many times, and his reputation will be very bad in the future.
Therefore, a woman like Angelina Jolie is not someone you can sleep with whenever you want, you have to pay a price.
She was chosen to play the female lead in this film mainly because she was cheap and well-known. Of course, it was also because the two main female characters in "The Sixth Sense" were basically just decorations in the film. The protagonists of the movie are the little boy who can see the souls of the dead and the male protagonist played by Bruce.
"What's the price to sleep with him?"
When Kyle finished his glass of wine, his mind began to race with thoughts.
However...
It turns out that sometimes being too clever can backfire.
Kyle thinks too much!
After leaving the restaurant, Kyle, who was a little drunk, left with Julie under the teasing gazes of Victor and others.
The next day.
When Kyle woke up, he found that he seemed to have cheated again last night, and it was a crazy one. Pieces of torn clothes were scattered all over the floor of the villa room, and Julie was lying naked beside him.
"Wow!"
"Isn't Hollywood a no-pain, no-gain world? I'm going to do it right now?!"
Kyle was a little surprised. He never expected that things would be so simple.
In fact, Kyle didn't know that although Julie had been married for more than a year, the relationship between her and her husband Johnny Lee Miller was not as good as everyone seemed. The couple basically had their own affairs.
Although Kyle has been travelling here for quite some time, he has not messed around. His understanding of this kind of thing is basically the same as that of the general public.
Lack of experience!
In fact, Kyle underestimated his own charm. Although his appearance was not stunningly handsome, it was not bad either. The most important thing was that he was the owner of a film company and was very rich.
If software is not enough, hardware will make up for it.
Kyle is a true bachelor-level man, and he has a fatal attraction to Hollywood actresses who are determined to get ahead.
....
Kyle, who had tasted the sweetness of it, fooled around with Julie for several days before ending this state.
This day.
Kyle came to Page Pictures and had a long conversation with CEO Victor about the promotion and marketing of "The Sixth Sense".
The movie "The Sixth Sense" is scheduled to be released in North America on November 14 this year.
In this period, the film was released a week later than Sony Columbia's "Starship Troopers", a week earlier than Fox's "Anastasia", and at the same time as Universal Pictures' "The Last of the Jackals".
In the November schedule, there are many other films, including Miramax's "Life is Beautiful", Fox's "Alien 4", Polygram's "Mr. Bean", Disney's "Up" and so on.
There is no doubt that the Thanksgiving period in 1997, although not as fiercely competitive as the summer period a few months ago, was still a period filled with many blockbusters and the competition was not small.
It is basically impossible to avoid the high-budget movies of big companies in the North American theatre schedule, and it is unrealistic to want to get a schedule without competition.
In this industry, it is a battlefield where the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker!
"Victor, I'll leave the publicity, the screenings with theatre chains, and the advance screenings with fans and critics to you. I believe in your ability." Kyle started the hands-off mode.
"Okay, boss," Victor responded.
In fact, Kyle attached great importance to "The Sixth Sense", but precisely because of this, he handed it over to Victor to be responsible for it. After all, Victor was more professional than himself in publicity and promotion matters.
Of course, Kyle also had other things to do.
"It looks like Eminem, Beyoncé and others have finished their new albums. I have to go check them out and let them feel the care from their favourite boss!"
