unofficial hollywood life

Just like the dreamworks of the future, if it doesn't show its own ambition too clearly, it won't attract the encirclement and suppression of the Sixth Congress.

Sometimes starting too late is already a kind of original sin. It has nothing to do with ability and opportunity, but time does not give you this opportunity.

After the pattern has been set, it is not so easy to break it. Didn't you see that there are only a few seats in mpaa?

Give you an R rating, which can instantly reduce the movie audience by one rating. If you always do this, how can you continue to fight?And small companies with achievements are either attached to big companies or are acquired. There is basically no hope of breaking out of this shackles, because the forces behind several giant companies are intricate and will not accept a newcomer to come in and share the cake.

Tom himself did the same. The company he co-founded with Paula was mainly attached to Paramount to jointly develop projects.

So small companies have no human rights.

"Maybe, anyway, compared to Spielberg, my threat to these big studios is really small, and they may even take my company off the hook one day when my financial chain is broken. The idea of ​​buying it." Diana chuckled.

Although she doesn't have a deep understanding of Hollywood, she has heard of the monopoly names of those companies. Who doesn't know who?Didn’t the Orion company, whose capital was not working well some time ago, become such a typical example?

As long as it is profitable, these subsidiaries will come out like sharks and tear her to pieces.

Fortunately, she had a sharp weapon in her hand, and Chick Morgan made a cat face in an instant.

At the beginning, I bought the copyrights of the "X-Men" series and the "Spider-Man" series just to make a fortune, but now it seems that this matter may have another way of operation.

For example, after Marvel Comics goes bankrupt in the future, it will buy the other party, and then take back the wandering copyright. At that time, the copyright of the "Spider-Man" series alone will make the reborn Marvel appreciate a lot, plus the subsequent "X-Men" "series, it will definitely sell at a good price.And the most important thing is that this time, the three most profitable series of Marvel will not be scattered, presumably the value will be higher.

Referring to the experience of Marvel joining Disney later, Diana felt that she could become a minority shareholder of one of the six largest shareholders, which would be very beneficial to the development of her company, at least in terms of distribution channels, and would not be like the future DreamWorks is so miserable.

"Small companies have no human rights." Miss Morgan expressed the same emotion as her husband. I don't know if it is a kind of sympathy?

"Do you care?" Tom chuckled.

He said it as if he cared a lot, but he knew very well that Diana didn't care about the company at all, and how to make his movie go according to his own heart is the most important thing.

"It seems that I don't care that much." Diana nodded after thinking about it.

Tom still knew her well, and understood what she was working hard for.

"Then why are we wasting time here? I heard that the Louvre will be closed until very late, so why don't we go there." Tom said leisurely, holding Diana's hand.

It's a waste of life to spend honeymoon on honeymoon, talk about work and so on!

"You're right. We should cherish our time. It's better to leave things like work to professionals." Diana also laughed and squeezed Tom's hand.

Anyway, whether it is Tom or herself, the main job is not to manage the company, but to take root in the film's own job.And these things will not affect their lives in normal times, so why waste time thinking about these things?

"Yes, I think we can make a detailed plan. There are still many famous cultural buildings in Paris. We have enough time to browse slowly..."

"Like Notre Dame de Paris?"

"And the Eiffel Tower."

"Palace of Versailles."

"Champs Elysees."

"Palace of Bourbon."

"Tulleigh Park."

"Cathedral of the Madeleine."

"Elysee Palace."

Under the night, the two discussed the places of interest in Paris.

"Actually, Tom, we missed a lot when we went to China last time."

"Like?"

"For example, the Forbidden City, the largest existing palace complex in the world."

"There is also the legacy left by the world's number one figure master."

"The Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles."

.......

The figures of the two people became farther and farther away in the night, and gradually disappeared on the street.

Time always flies, especially when two people are already playing crazy.

Tom and Diana traveled around Paris, or should I say France, and after spending a lot of money, they found out that the filming time of "Interview with the Vampire" was about to arrive, and had to leave this place regretfully. The city of their many surprises.

"So you actually spend most of your time at night?" Annette was surprised when she heard the news that Diana had returned to the United States.

Are people who engage in art so magical?Wandering on the street in the middle of the night, knocking on the doors of galleries and museums, and still being opened?

She couldn't help but look at the beautiful face of her younger sister again, and then think about her husband's handsome face of the same level. Could it be the night ticket that was created by brushing his face?

It's not impossible. After all, Tom Cruise is so famous that he has already been kicked out of the scope of dangerous people. Coupled with the looks of these two people, it is still very possible to use their faces as tickets.

"Of course, vampires are nocturnal creatures. If they don't move around in the middle of the night, why should they be moving in the daytime?" Diana brought a cup of coffee to Annette.

The honeymoon location was originally chosen in France because it is Leicester's hometown. Wouldn't it be a waste not to experience his life experience?

"And Paris by day has the beauty of daytime, and Paris by night has the beauty of Paris by night. Sometimes the boundary between night and day is not so obvious, but it has a special flavor." Diana smiled.

This honeymoon trip not only gave Tom a thorough experience of night life, but also gave her the inspiration for a new book. It just so happened that during this period of time, I would accompany Tom to nest in the crew of "Interview with the Vampire", so I could have a good time Think about the plot of the story.

In the past two years, she has put too much energy on finance and movies, and she has encountered two things about love and marriage, so she doesn't have much mood to conceive new ones except for the inherent few series.Now is the perfect time to be free from work.

"Well, I don't understand the mind of an artist," said Annette, shrugging her shoulders.

She is a manager, and she has been studying this major since she was in college. After years of struggle, she took the position of the operating officer of May Coffey.If there is another occupation that she knows best besides her own job, it is a producer, and this type of work is undoubtedly not related to an artist.

So there is no way to understand authors like Diana and actors like Tom Cruise who often need to experience life.

"Believe me, my dear, most artists are crazy, and it's the right thing not to understand. And Tom and I are far from being artists, we don't have that state." Diana's opinion on this Quite disapproving.

Hollywood artists, that's really not a good word, either they have killed themselves, or they are on the road to death, it's better to stay away.As for outside of Hollywood, the two of them couldn't even be called artists, and there was absolutely no need to give themselves such a name to bluff.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I have one more thing to do besides delivering quarterly financial statements this time, it's about a script." Annette said.

As the operating officer of a film company, of course she doesn't need to do such things as submitting financial statements by herself, just find a subordinate of the company to do it. The main purpose is another thing.

After the company she worked for was acquired by Diana, this lady has been doing her own work conscientiously. In addition to making quite successful low-cost films before being acquired, she also worked hard to establish a complete distribution channel.Not only overseas, but also in the North American market. It can be said that Annette herself is a very qualified film company manager.

In addition, she will also search through the company's script library to select some excellent projects for the company.

Although the quality of their script library is a bit worrying compared with big companies, how many movies produced by Hollywood every year can be on the big screen?The production of big studios is better. The major theaters have contracts with these studios, and they will guarantee the release time of these works in movie theaters-this is why big studios can sit firmly on Diaoyutai relying on distribution relationship, distribution channels are stable.And for a small company, what else is there to talk about even if the movie can't be released?

The rest are not so lucky. Those with excellent quality can go to the cinema for a few days, and those with poor reputation can go directly to the video tape route.So I really want to thank the invention of the videotape, which suddenly increased the number of movies Hollywood shoots every year, because there are very complete videotape rental channels in this land, otherwise the film of many movies would be directly thrown away. There is mold in the warehouse.

The biggest investment that Mae Coffee made before this was only more than 100 million. There are very few investments in movies of this level, and most of them are offline products that cost hundreds of thousands. Go directly to the kind of video rental.

This is also the reason why Quentin's movie was passed, because in the eyes of May Coffey's script reviewer, it is undoubtedly very unreasonable for such a messy movie to have a budget of more than 100 million.

And Diana's acquisition brought something different to the studio.

The author has something to say:

Notre Dame is on fire!I didn’t know that this building was made of wood before. I always thought it was made of masonry. It really is a construction novice ==

Then the Kering Group donated [-] million yuan to repair it. Before it was burned, it only raised a few million yuan, so I don't know what to say.

In addition, did you build it? Before the fire, Ubisoft just spent two years making a complete game reproduction of Notre Dame de Paris, which means that people can rebuild Notre Dame de Paris on a one-to-one basis. It really deserves to be an internationally famous cultural building. Enthusiast ==
