Chicago 1990

It seems that Roy is not as covert as Johnny Carson within Disney?

The once the most popular talk show host in all meters has been in constant contact with him recently, calling, faxing, sending lawyers and agents to pass on, and frantically asking about the progress of the cat and mouse game. He seems to be afraid of being'out', so he often pulls out Bragging about personal relationships with Roy Disney.

Song Ya wondered whether Roy Disney was able to cover enough, or whether he would sincerely help Johnny Carson, in any case, it’s time to verify, “Anyway, it’s always right to hold the final editing rights in your hands. , Our project should be launched, just in time to let Johnny Carson's funds in, about two million or so, otherwise the old man would not go out of the hole."

"We see the same thing, we can officially sign the contract first, and the initial funds should be included in the special account, and the skeleton of the production team should be set up first."

Linton was very happy, "By the way, Xiao Lizi’s agent still keeps in touch with me. They also got the new version of the script for the cat and mouse game. Now they know that the role of the hero Abagnell is your child. Li Zi was adapted and constructed from the template. They can easily tell that the male host is very lovable. Therefore, in order to prevent new competitors from appearing in the ecological position of Xiao Li Zi, their attitude towards whether to take the shots has been softened."

"That's not bad, Xiao Li feels threatened, right?"

Song Yale said, "If he is willing to come, I will certainly welcome him, and the pay can be generous."

"I know, but don't be happy too early."

Linton had an unexpected expression on his face, "The other party may want to deliberately hang us and slow down the progress of our project, and the slower the progress of the project, the higher the probability of failure."

"understood."

Linton is much better than Yeremov. While negotiating with David Fincher, he has been in contact with spare tire directors such as Ridley Scott, and will never give up using them to hold down prices before the final decision. .The psychology of important characters such as the management, producer, director, and actors in the entire project is also very accurate.

Hollywood games are everywhere, and good agents have a very keen sense of crisis. The original hero of the cat and mouse game is Xiao Lizi. If the filming is carried out strictly according to Song Ya's idea, it will be another sunny handsome. 'S young actor will definitely be a potential competitor for Xiao Lizi's niche.

A 20 million-level project is not considered a masterpiece, but how many opportunities does Hollywood have every year?

As the capital economy develops more and more pervasive, smart people in the United States have begun to have this kind of high alertness and high desire for destruction to any potential threat.Whether right or wrong, this kind of thinking is definitely forward-looking. During the Civil War, some landlords in the South were at a loss as to the northerners’ determination to crack down on slavery, and the stupidity of selling large quantities of agricultural products to the northern factory owners, if it became popular. All kinds of financial derivatives that have been seen decades later should not happen again.

For example, the current agricultural consortiums in the United States, as long as they find in the backyard of South America that politicians with potential threats to their own interests may come to power, they will drive the U.S. government to take action through the transfer of benefits or congressional talks. The election promise has not been fulfilled since the beginning of power, and the CIA subversion gift package has been delivered by express delivery.

If you have a good role, it’s better not to let others succeed even if you don’t act. This is a normal operation.

Business is business, and Song Ya has no idea of ​​being offended or conspired by Xiao Lizi and his agent, "Anyway, I am waiting for your good news."

Talked about the general direction with Linton about the director, starring and funding. He and Hayden got up to leave.

"Hollywood Pictures was actually established arbitrarily in the 1980s by Eisner. It was originally intended to merge and reorganize some of the huge loss-making old studio labels that Disney has accumulated over the years, and then pack it lightly. So there are still parts of its home. The legacy of Hollywood’s early large studio system, own equipment, producer-centric system, and assembly-line production methods,

This high-cost production method has not been able to adapt to the changes in the new situation after the rise of CAA packaging services, but there are still advantages in the large studio system that can operate for so many years. At least it is purely in the film production ability. Asset-allocated production companies, such as Caravan Pictures, Cinergi Pictures, Polygram Films, etc., have maintained long-term cooperation with them. Most of these companies are directly using the excess production capacity of Hollywood Pictures. The cooperation model is somewhat Similar to processing with supplied materials.

Therefore, Hollywood Pictures still produces more than a dozen movies a year that can enter the theaters, which is higher than the number of some medium-sized production companies. The production cost of some "processing" projects far exceeds 5 million, but the box office is almost Without exception, they were all on the street. In the 1990s, only one Joy Luck Club filmed by Chinese director Wang Ying exceeded three times the production cost and made money.

Its long-term collaborators also include the film department owned by 2PAC's record. Such cross-border collaborators are actually the same as the Polygram film department. They are born with a miserable face and their project management capabilities are a mess. .For example, Cinergi Pictures last year’s night, cost 40 million, less than 20 million at the box office, if it weren’t for Bruce Willie to consciously drop the pay to play the pulp fiction, he won double harvest at the box office. After production, the cafes in Hollywood will be affected.

From this point of view, part of the blame for the Hollywood film industry's recent wind critics is not the crime of war, and the loss is not as big as outsiders think, but after all, the bad reputation of filming and losing one film has spread, plus being the king of Disney. Eisner was holding the company full of expectations for the new group, and Eisner was unable to survive, so the former president stepped down and let Linton put out the fire.

Linton is much more practical. After he took charge of Hollywood Pictures, he cut staff significantly to reduce the high operating costs of the big studio model. On the other hand, he no longer dreamed of getting a small cost and big return on the theater, and started a lot of work. Low-cost B-level films are aimed directly at the video tape rental market to make steady long-term profits.

Hollywood Pictures will continue to undertake more processing projects with supplied materials. Those old friends from huge pits are welcome to bring funds and projects to Linton, but the new target has been quietly replaced by independent producers whose ability has been proven in Hollywood Industry players, such as the well-known producer Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer who parted ways with Paramount last year, such as our A+ Film Studio.The cat and mouse game has a budget of more than 20 million, and Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer's red tide budget is more than 50 million."

"Also like the Scott Brothers' Free Pictures, Hollywood Pictures is not as tight as Linton always pretends in front of you, boss."

When he came out of Linton’s office, Hayden talked a lot about Chase. The main purpose was still to try to dissuade Song Ya. "He chose Ridley Scott for selfishness. I heard that he and the Scott brothers already have a raging sea Big projects are under discussion. He is borrowing our resources to buy the Scott brothers! Although Ridley Scott has not directed the tube in recent years, Free Pictures is still very active. His brother Anthony Scott is not lost. He directed his producer and director, Tang Dahong’s lofty ambitions. The producers were Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. The red tide project they collaborated on was directed by Anthony Scott."

"I know I know."

Song Ya dealt with it casually. He was actually not sure about these, but the cat and mouse game is already on the line, what else can be done.

Linton is not a philanthropist. He is also gambling with himself and various people. He is the spider at the center of the spider web of Hollywood Pictures. Understand and do not communicate with each other. It is best that he alone understands the whole situation of all projects, so that he can enjoy the maximum power and benefits obtained through resource allocation.

Again, business is business. It's normal to cheat each other. If you are cheated, you will continue to cooperate with a smile. What should you do?

Hayden also has selfish intentions, why didn't William Morris behind him pay attention to the packaging service of cat and mouse games?Even if Disney and CAA cooperate closely, it is always good to loosen the ground.

"I made an appointment with Barenboi to meet in Chicago, and Ridley Scott will also come. Let's talk first."

He thinks that he can understand the interests of all kinds of people in this multi-party game. "As long as Ridley Scott has the willingness to turn over by relying on the cat and mouse game, his interests are generally consistent with my interests, right?" Said to Hayden.
