Chicago 1990

Chapter 592: Choose director

Distributor Universal can divide money from all aspects of box office revenue, but it itself has been losing money year after year. After all, it needs tens of thousands of employees to maintain the global distribution network, and it is impossible to remember that thieves are beaten if they eat meat. Movies are high. In the risky industry, if you want to make a big production, in addition to losing money, the distributor has to bear the loss of hidden costs such as wasted schedule. The big loss of a blockbuster film will be delayed for at least two years.

But the fact that Universal does not make money does not mean that the industries surrounding it do not make money. At least those production companies, insurance companies that have completed this guarantee, banks that provide financial services, film equipment, film, printing, box office and word-of-mouth investigation services The consulting company, the public relations company of the public relations film critics, the advertising company and the media that help publicize, the special effects company that produces special effects, the record company that produces the soundtrack, the chain store that sells peripherals and video tapes, and the Universal Pictures that relies on travel income The city itself, etc. are all operating well...

This industry feeds a large number of peripheral companies and well-managed issuing companies. Many of these peripheral industries are inextricably linked with the capital behind the issuing company, and profits naturally flow back to capital through these channels silently. Poor management, such as Universal and Columbia Pictures, are cheaper than professional managers. So when Spielberg learned that his Jewish compatriots were going to take control of Universal, he hurriedly wanted to settle accounts. Everyone knew Simberg. It's almost impossible to cover this chain of interests under the water.

This is the reason why Song Ya was ambitious to establish global distribution channels when he first entered the record industry, but has not mentioned it at all in the past two years. It is useless to win a huge distribution company. If it does not completely penetrate into all aspects of the industry, it is just waiting. Wait for the burden of tens of thousands of employees. Multinational companies with strong management capabilities have lost their pants. How can they be more powerful than them?

Let's talk about the apocalypse honestly and fight steadily.

With 26 million in hand, Song Ya is in a good mood. The competition for the two project director positions in his hand has quietly begun. He is now a sweet steamed bun. As soon as the news of his arrival in Los Angeles spread, he received many dinner invitations. .

"Amy Adams is very beautiful, but her acting skills are not enough. Her agent and your agent, Mr. Hayden, refuses to accept other roles except the heroine, so I can't make up my mind for the time being..."

The first face is naturally given to Amy. Of course, Amy will not appear at the same dinner table with himself. He met the screenwriter and director, one of the few successful women in Hollywood, also called Amy Hecklin. . She writes and directs her own style, and she has a lot of say in that project.

"If it is an art film, Amy can play a supporting role, but not a youth campus film."

Regardless of Hayden's commitment in front of him, he already has a certain degree of majesty in front of others. He directly extinguished the implied exchange terms, "Who is her competitor?"

"Alicia Silverstone, Catherine Hagel, Brittany Murphy..."

Hecklin reported a lot of girls' names, but Amy was not famous. Song Ya only had an impression of Alicia Silverstone, the most popular one. She became famous for'promoting lover's bed' in 1993. It seems to be the flesh and blood of the rock band Smith Spaceship, and he played a lot of single MVs of that band.

"I personally prefer you to be the director of the sequel to my life, Ms. Hecklin." Song Ya also hinted.

"Let me think about it again." The other party did not immediately agree.

Then Stephen Gyllenhaal’s wife, Naomi Fna, also met him through Halle. In fact, her status in Hollywood is much higher than that of the director’s husband. In addition, she is still Jewish and has a relationship with Yeremov. Not bad.

"Naomi takes care of me."

While helping the producer to say something nice, Halle used a fork to pick up a leaf of salad, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, with a satisfied expression on her face as if she was eating a big meal. This ability of self-discipline, if it was given to her Fiancee is perfect...

Forget it, think far, "Thank you Ms. Verna, Halle and I are very good friends." Song Ya shook her head, throwing away the messy thoughts.

"Harry's acting skills are very good, and I also like you to dance out the performances, dances and songs of my life."

The two sides tout each other for a while, and the other's sincerity is much higher than Hecklin, but sure enough, Naomi hinted that he wanted his daughter Maggie Gyllenhaal to star in the sequel heroine.

"I also heard about your cat and mouse game project. Maybe my son can audition for the male lead?"

This family...the one who drags the family with one's mouth will not miss any opportunity in Hollywood.

"Auditing? No problem, just say hello to Hollywood Pictures."

Song Ya didn't know what her son and daughter looked like, but from the looks of their parents, they should not be ugly. Besides, it was an audition.

Then Stephen Gyllenhaal is the director's candidate, but the casting power needs to be restricted.

He then went to see Adam Shankman again. The guy asked Anne Fletcher to help build the relationship. Song Ya was perfunctory. Anne Fletcher was not sincere to help. She herself wanted to be the director of the sequel. For this reason He had already left Shankman Dance Troupe in advance and flew solo, but he kept it from Adam Shankman.

So now there are five directors who have entered the candidate list. Both Universal and Song Ya can accept, plus three accompany Adam Shankman, Zach Schneider and Anne Fletcher. Of course, the three of them don’t know yet. He is out.

"Amperin Entertainment has a stake in Universal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Spielberg may put more energy into DreamWorks. His honeymoon with Universal is almost over."

As for the director of the cat and mouse game, Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, is pulling people around with the ever-improving script. Currently, David Fincher has read the script and liked it very much. He intends to direct, but he has to be busy. The seven deadly sins of another project were only available in the second half of 1995.

Song Ya could accept the filming later, and asked Linton, who was gloating about Spielberg's misfortune, "Is David Fincher the biggest director we can find?"

"Yes." Linton nodded. "Directors with higher ranks are not interested, and we can't afford to pay for them."

"He only filmed Alien 3, which was good at the box office, but the film reviews were not good..." Song Ya asked worriedly, "Alien 3 is a special effects movie. The cat and mouse game is not needed at all. What it needs is the acting skills of an actor."

"I'm not in a hurry to decide for the time being. I will invite more people to try, but he is the only one at the moment."

Linton said: "You know, he was a MV shooter, at least he has a guarantee in terms of lens expression. He has been involved in various industries in Hollywood, such as special effects, documentaries, etc., and has the ability to lead large productions. He is shooting The seven deadly sins are starring Blatt Pitt and Morgan Freeman. The production cost should not be small. It must be a film featuring acting skills. Then I will find a way to go to the Seven Deadly Sins crew to inquire about information. If that movie is good, Then we will use him, but we must win the contract as soon as possible to save him from taking advantage of the seven deadly sins to increase the price."

"Intelligence work is really important, okay." Song Ya nodded, "What about the male lead?"

"Male lead, hehe..."

Linton took out a lot of actor resumes and laid them on the table, "Look, they are all young and handsome boys, be careful not to slobber APLUS."
