unofficial hollywood life

As for the staff of Paramount, the status of this big star is obviously not something they can shake. If they really want to achieve this achievement, it needs the boss of the company to do it himself.

Besides, from the first film, Tom Cruise has had a firm control over the production of the film. From the director to the staff behind the scenes, he must nod to make it happen. In this case, what objection do they have? position?

"It's less than 10 minutes anyway..." A certain producer sighed.

At least the other party listened to their opinions and kept a clue, so that it can be used in the subsequent movie series.These days, movies have gradually fallen into routines, and they are all those things, and it is simply too difficult to shoot new ideas.Being able to get Tom Cruise to agree to this proposal is already good, and I really can't ask for too much.

As a producer sent by Paramount, he certainly understands what his boss is thinking, and tries his best to let the big star take less of the film's interests. For this reason, they even strongly demanded to add a Son, the purpose is to be able to get rid of Cruise at that time, to re-advance someone to the top, and to occupy more initiative.

But the problem is that half of the copyright of this film is in the hands of Cruise, boss!Mr. Producer had a bitter expression on his face, feeling extremely tired.

Said that Tom Cruise himself did not find this kind of situation against him and killed him. He would not believe it. The other party just holds half of the copyright and has enough self-confidence.Besides, the audience walked into the cinema to watch him, who would watch it if it was someone else?

Shaking his head, he felt that the new boss was really an unruly person who had gone too far.At the same time, it is also a bit unclear about the situation. Tom Cruise is not the kind of little star who can make troubles casually. I hope he can think about it sooner.

No matter what, the preparation of "Mission: Impossible 3" has finally entered the process. This is a good thing, it is better than procrastination. The summer release of the year.That's a good thing for them, at least for Paramount.

Mr. Producer has to admit that the "Mission: Impossible" series is Paramount's most outstanding achievement in the past few years, and it is the kind of self-produced and self-sold outstanding achievement, which is better than the ones produced by other companies. Movies should make high-level executives feel more comfortable.

Finally, being able to generate blood by oneself is much better than relying solely on the distribution business to maintain the company's operation.This is probably what everyone thinks, very sad and practical.

As for Diana, in order to set up obstacles for Paramount, it is enough to not let the media mogul make trouble for nothing.

Last year, she successfully pushed Universal Pictures to buy the copyrights of "Transformers" and "Special Forces". Because of this, she almost vomited after eating with the Lang Mayer family!

But the results are also remarkable. With the halo of the majority shareholder of the parent company, Diana gets along very happily with the president of Universal Pictures, not only himself, but also his wife and daughter.In addition, Universal Pictures and Marvel Pictures are now discussing the release of "Spider-Man". This "friendship" can be said to be very strong and reliable. "Special Forces" event.

Although Mayfair has a mature and complete distribution system, it is undeniable that in terms of A-level production and distribution, the size of this company is far from the rival of Hollywood giant studios. Marvel Pictures will choose the latter between a company that is completely owned by itself and a company like Universal that has shares held by others, because the latter far exceeds the former in terms of distribution power. The strength of film industry competition.

Because of this, Marvel Pictures signed a five-film distribution contract with Universal Pictures under the help of Diana, the middleman, and even for some reason did not pay too much to Marvel Pictures in terms of distribution costs. The exploitation is much stronger than the tragedy of DreamWorks.

"If this cooperation is feasible, then maybe Universal will consider acquiring Marvel Pictures in the future." Ron Meyer told his working partner this way.

As a tycoon-level figure who has been able to get from CAA's agent to his current status, he certainly does not lack vision and courage.It's just a five-film contract, which is really nothing. If the performance of "Spider-Man" is really good enough, then it is not impossible for this company to be included in the Universal system.

Just like Warner owns DC Comics, Universal can own Marvel.Moreover, in the past few years, the company has been in a state of expansion, and acquiring industries that can promote the company's value is also a strategy.

After this matter was settled, both Diana and the executives of Marvel Pictures were relieved a lot, and they were able to devote themselves to the creation.Especially the creative committee, the member organization responsible for formulating the framework of the film script, finally took time out of the busy work to complete its own work, pushing the progress bar of "Spider-Man" forward a little bit.

The other is a children's adaptation movie from the UK, the famous "Harry Potter".

Diana, who has officially controlled Universal Pictures, went to the UK to grab the project in order to increase the company's performance.

Back when Ron Meyer and the rest of the Universal crew were elated by the company's massive expansion, Diana had a sense of urgency that was very different from theirs.

Just as she expected, Seagram had problems on the way of global expansion, and the capital chain was about to be broken!

This made Diana, who had been struggling desperately in the financial market for the past two years, finally feel relieved.Like someone waiting for the other boot to hit the ground, she's been waiting for this day since Seagram bought Universal, and now it's finally here.

"No matter what, God still loves me, at least let me raise enough funds." Diana sighed.

Said that although the process is difficult, the result is still good.It is better to break the capital chain at this time than to break when the pit is deeper.And thanks to the Asian financial crisis, her income has been quite good in the past two years.Except for the Rabbit House, which she didn't follow, she followed all the places where other international financial giants swept by, and even because of the long-anticipated reason for the Russian ruble incident, she was still cheated by other international speculators. The terrible place also made a lot of money, and finally avoided the situation where Universal Pictures was sold to the French water company Vivendi.

As a result, Universal Pictures finally separated from the Seagram Group completely, became independent, and became a film company with multiple shares.

The only thing that Diana complained about was that Seagram's financial chain was cut off a little too early, as long as it lasts for half a year, it will be the economic crisis in the United States!At that time, a bunch of company stocks will plunge, even if it is not the dot-com bubble, they will be implicated together. If it can be delayed until that point, the amount of money she spent will be less.

But how can everything be as it should be?She has made enough money in this dot-com bubble, how can she ask for it to come later?

"People really can't be too greedy." Diana murmured to herself, and chopped off the roast duck's head with one knife.

In the past two days, Tony had something to do at home, so she simply gave him an annual leave and asked him to go back to handle housework.As for the food, Tom is still in charge of the kitchen, and when the other party is busy, he calls to order takeaway.

Of course, it will save a lot of things to go shopping by yourself, but who told Diana, who just experienced a financial war, to be too lazy to spend time and energy on it?She would rather stay at home and take a good rest to take care of her skin, rather than go out to buy food under the sunshine of Los Angeles.

"Ahhhh——" Ms. Morgan's hand that was dismantling the duck paused for a moment. The voice sounded like it belonged to her baby William?

"Bill?" She walked to the door, trying to confirm her guess.

As a result, as soon as the door was opened, two little ones were seen rolling around on the grass. Among them, Agatha's mouth was tightly attached to William's arm, which was probably why he screamed.

Twitching the corner of her mouth, Diana lifted Agatha up with one hand, "How many times have I told you, don't bite people casually. After running outside for a day, do you know how many bacteria are on your arms before you take a bath?"

She said with a serious face.

The heart is also full of support.

It seems that the growth of age has not improved the relationship between these two little ones. The so-called concerted efforts will only deal with the common foreign enemy, and they are still noisy and hostile at ordinary times.

For example, today's situation has happened countless times, and the result is that the two cubs who got into a ball were separated by their parents.

The only good thing is that the two of them are still smart, no matter how much they quarrel and fight, they won't attack each other's pretty face, and they don't make it impossible for them to go out to meet people.

As for the teeth marks, it was already a basic operation. Diana tore off Agatha from William's arms and legs countless times, and now she was almost numb.

"Mum!" Agatha threw herself on her mother's lap, her eyes were already watery.

She decided to gain an advantage in front of her mother first.

"Mum!" William threw himself on Diana's other leg, also looking aggrieved by being bullied.

Don't let Agatha speak first!

Diana: "..."

What kind of two goblins did I raise?

Tom who just walked in: "..."

The two little ones are fighting again?Looking at the messy lawn, Mr. Cruise made a judgment in his heart.

The author has something to say:

In the past two days, I have always dreamed that I have traveled to the end of the world, am I so jealous that I am going crazy ==

As for Winona, she actually has her own problems. The living environment in her childhood and the endless stalking after she became popular, most people will have doubts about life.It's just that she is a little bit worse. She has suffered failures in four consecutive relationships. No matter how strong a person is, she will not be able to bear it. She is not such a strong person. Tragedy is a natural thing.As for Nicole, it can only be said that she was able to get to this point. On the one hand, she is psychologically strong enough; She hasn’t suffered any big Waterloo, even if it’s a box office poison. There are still people who pay a lot of money to ask her to act in a movie. It’s because she’s getting older and there are few heroines, no matter from which aspect. , Winona is not comparable to her.
