In a private courtyard in Los Angeles, there are six middle-aged people sitting and drinking coffee.
It seems that this is an ordinary meeting between friends, but if people from Hollywood come to see it, they will be surprised.
It is no exaggeration to say that these six people have the power to make almost all Hollywood stars and actors wide and unband.
See who they are!
The man sitting in the master's seat is Michael Eisner, Paramount's executive vice president and director of film production.
The one on his right with a beautiful moustache is Alan Ryder, the president of 20th Century Fox.
Next to Allan Ryder is a very fat man, this is Rosenbrandt, president of Columbia Films.
Directly opposite Michael Eisner, the tall, somewhat indifferent man was called Sam Karlov, president of Universal Studios.
To the right of Sam Karlov, George Harding, President of Warner Bros.
The last one is a smiling middle-aged man on the left of Michael Eisner. He is Matthew Cody, president of MGM.
Although Michael Eisner is not Paramount's president, Barry Diller completely let go of Michael Eisner for the film, so he can fully represent Paramount's affairs in the film.
The seven major Hollywood companies, except for Lianyi Film Company, which has been acquired by Kirin Group, the rest of the six companies are now sitting here, it is difficult to believe that they are just drinking coffee.
Something must have happened!
um, yes.
This time, the party was actively promoted by Michael Eisner, the purpose is to discuss the matter of Lianyi Film Company and Disney.
To put it more bluntly, Michael Eisner wanted to target the man whom he had always been disappointed with-Yin Jun.
At this time, Michael Eisner did not know that Yin Jun had tried to solicit him, and this thing hit the wall at Barry Diller, of course he did not know.
But even if Michael Eisner knew, he would not care, and would not accept Yin Jun's solicitation.
In fact, what he is planning now is to give this Hollywood intruder a hard lesson to let him know that not everyone in Hollywood can play, not everyone can make waves.
It is for this reason that now the presidents of the remaining five giants are sitting here.
Otherwise, with their daily management, how could a few people who are free and bored have tea together? Even if you want to drink tea, you still drink tea with beautiful female stars.
"Disney's movements have been great recently." Michael Eisner coughed lightly. "It is said that they are preparing to send dozens of artists to the African savannah to sketch. get ready?"
Everyone laughed as they listened.
Yin Jun said that Disney is going to make a cartoon with a box office that can reach 800 million US dollars. This is completely nonsense from insiders.
This live-action movie has no way to achieve 800 million US dollars. You still dream of 800 million US dollars for an animated movie?
If it were not for them to know that Yin Jun was a veritable genius, he had long mocked this man as an idiot.
Now these giants also think that most of this is that Yin Jun is showing a gimmick to attract the attention of Hollywood and the interest of newspapers and fans.
Otherwise, you see, the recent newspapers and magazines, but many of them are tracking this matter, it has been a few months, and it can still keep the heat, which is very great.
The key people have not spent money yet.
And Yin Jun said to withdraw from Hollywood, of course, there are different explanations in the eyes of these gangsters.
You Yin Jun withdrew from Hollywood, does it mean that Kirin Group also withdrew from Hollywood?
Isn't it a complete exposition for another person to become the president?
Oh, by the way, the president of Qilin Culture Beauty. Kokubu is not originally Yin Jun, but a woman who has never heard of it before, a housewife!
"Don't worry about this cartoon, Disney is now down, there is no threat at all." Matthew Cody said, "Disney should go back to the TV channel to do their cartoons. Or to do their amusement park. That ’s all right, why do you have to make movies so overwhelmingly? Do you really think that his Yin Jun can eat well in Asia, and he can do it in Hollywood? "
"You can't say that." Little Allan Ryder shook his head. "I know that Yin Jun is an absolute genius. Everyone here is definitely not like him. At the age of 19, I can swallow Disney and Lianyi Film Company. It is even less likely that he has written dozens of scripts like him, each of which is a good script.
If this time Disney is using his script and doing it according to his ideas, I think the box office should not be too bad, at least it should be $ 100 million. This is a good start for Disney. As long as they play steadily, I believe they can still do a good job in Hollywood animated films. "
"What's good? Is Hollywood a good place to do a good job?" George Harding dismissed Alan Ryder's remarks. "Is the United Arts movie good? They have 007! The series I unearthed in 2011 is not very good? But if you break down, what can you do? The market is so fickle! We ca n’t catch it, let alone a Xiangjiang man! "
"Well, yes." Rosenbrandt smiled. "In fact, Yin Jun is a screenwriter with peace of mind. I think we still have a lot of places to cooperate with. For example, the one he did recently, I think it is very Interestingly, the sequel is fully capable of climbing the peak. But if he wants to come to Hollywood to grab a meal with us, that will not work .... Right, Sam? "
Sam Karlov smiled, "Ask me what?"
"Isn't he collaborating with you on Spielberg recently? They are all scheduled for June, you are very confident, right?" Rosenbrandt said without jealousy, Yin Jun's script was actually second. What he valued more was Spielberg's genius, but unfortunately he was tightly held by Universal and he didn't let go at all.
"Oh, Stephen said he liked it, and we also feel good, so let's take a look at the effect." Sam Karlov said, "However, Yin Jun is really not good, a screenwriter, actually bargaining with us, and finally I just took so many profits and interests in the past. "
"If he's not smart, how could he come to Hollywood to buy two companies in one breath?" Michael Eisner snorted. "Sam, we are discussing today to teach this Xiangjiang kid. You won't have any opinion, right?" ? "
"I completely agree with everyone's point of view, otherwise I will not come." Sam Karlov said, "Business is business, but the status of our major companies must still be respected."
"Well, it's still too early to talk about his animated movie, but recently he is making a movie himself. Have you heard about it?" Michael Eisner introduced the most important issue today.
"I heard that." Alan Ryd nodded. "In fact, if it weren't for Lianyi and Disney, we all hoped to work with him in the 20th century. Unfortunately, he didn't care about our friendliness. , If the investment of more than 20 million US dollars is added to the publicity funds, at least more than 30 million, but no investment partner is introduced, he is very confident! "
"What's the content? And what kind?" Rosenbrand said. "Chinese people can only make this kind of small-produced comedy movie."
"No, you are wrong." Matthew Cody is obviously a caring person. "He made a popular action movie, and even many elites in the digital field have followed. Considering the various costs of Xiangjiang, you actually This movie can be regarded as a huge investment of US $ 50 million. "
Although this stunt company in the digital field was established shortly, its growth momentum is very fierce.
Many Hollywood movies are now looking for them for special effects, Spielberg's, they are produced by the whole process.
I heard that there is a digital field doing special effects, Rosenbrandt also said, "I can't see it, he can really fight! But if this loss is lost, you say he will become the shortest in Hollywood. Desperate boss? "
"It's far from that point." This time it was Michael Eisner talking. "Although Yin Jun has a total debt of 3.7 billion US dollars, he has enough energy to support his Transformers project. Development! In fact, if HSBC Bank did not take the lead, banks like Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley would also be willing to accept his mortgage. "
"So, is it useful for us to target him like this?" George Harding frowned.
"Of course it works!" Michael Eisner said, "This is the first movie he directed. The first movie has a total investment of more than 30 million US dollars. If we beat it hard, no matter what The morale of Yin Jun still has a huge impact on the morale of the Kirin Group, or the morale of Disney and Lianyi.
The first part may not be able to make him hurt, but if we have been hit hard in several consecutive movies, naturally everyone will gradually lose confidence, and Yin Jun may be unable to carry it. In the end, he could only sell these two companies, ending the unrealistic journey in Hollywood, and returned to Asia in vain. "
"Yes, I think so too." Rosenbrandt agreed.
The remaining few people also nodded slightly.
For everyone, reducing a strong competitor is definitely a good thing.
Then, if Disney and Lianyi stayed, they might as well take advantage of the low price to increase their strength!
"Since everyone agrees, then start thinking about which movie we will use to compete with him." Michael Eisner was relieved and began to smile.
"They certainly wouldn't dare to confront Spielberg in June." Alan Led thought about it. "If I expected it well, Yin Jun still hopes to make a difference, so July should be the most When it may be released. "
"July? Won't it be too late? It's April now!" George Harding said stunned.
"Xiangjiang is a magical place. They often make a movie in ten days. So I think Yin Jun has nothing to do." Rosenbrandt shrugged.
"Haha ..."
Everyone laughed out loud, and the irony was really good.
After laughing, Michael Eisner looked at George Harding, "George, look at you, can you be ranked in July?"
"it is good!"
George Harding nodded, "Since everyone has decided so, let us contribute ... But, in terms of the intensity of publicity and the arrangement of the theater line, you can all help us out!"
He is simple enough, but in fact it is also pushing the boat.
Originally they wanted to set the June schedule, but Global announced their release date one step ahead of them. It was also in June, which was a bit difficult to manage.
What kind of director is Spielberg? No one in Hollywood does not know who wants to fight his commercial blockbuster, but it really needs some courage.
Even for this most attractive brand, Warner Bros. did not have much confidence, and both sides hurt but they did not want to see it.
Now that the retreat is in July, not only does no one say that they are retreating, but these movie companies will give more compensation.
Sure enough, Global President Sam Karlov breathed a sigh of relief and responded first.
Reluctant to touch, why not like to touch?
In this way, everyone occupies a period, naturally the best!
"We Paramount will also support." Michael Eisner naturally agreed.
With the two people talking, several other companies will certainly not say bad, so they have said one after another that they will give better arrangements on the theater line.
This group of people is such an understatement. From the beginning to the end, they have never mentioned what kind of movie Yin Jun made, what the content is, how it was filmed, and what are the characteristics.
In their view, movies produced outside of Hollywood cannot have a big explosion at the box office.
The last time was just an accident. Isn't it because of so many European and American actors?
Since the United States and the United States have implemented anti-monopoly laws on film, cinema and film companies ~ EbookFREE.me ~ have implemented a method of separating operations.
However, this is limited to film companies and theaters, not media companies.
Think about what this means?
correct!
Time Warner Group can own the cinema line because it is a large media group.
But it can also own Warner Bros. Movies, and can advertise it with its own CNN.
In the future, why are the seven major Hollywood giants behind a super media giant? The reason lies in this!
It is said that it is not allowed to hold the cinema line, but there is always a way to bypass it.
Don't try to bypass it, those who do their own x-production operations, such as Lianyi, Columbia, MGM, are all turned into painful lessons, warning the Hollywood giants, what should you do.
That's why the last time Michael Eisner felt that Lucas was unruly and wanted to block it, it worked so easily.
Small film companies are so stumped.
Everywhere must be restricted by others, and exploited by others.
Not even the Miramax company, the Oscar ’s biggest blackhand Weinstein brother, was acquired by Disney in this way?
This time, Michael Eisner received much more support than last time.
As a result, he also had more confidence and completely defeated Yin Jun's movie.
If you are a commercial movie, if you are not successful in the United States, what kind of successful movie is it?
just wait!
From the beginning of this movie, I will let you continue to taste the taste of failure!
Hollywood, the Hollywood of the United States and the Chinese, cannot tolerate you to show off your power!
