Chapter 853: The Hollywood Giants' Decision

In Los Angeles, in a private courtyard, six middle-aged people are sitting, drinking coffee.

It looks like it's an ordinary gathering of friends, but if someone from Hollywood comes to see it, they'll be surprised.

It is no exaggeration to say that these six people have the power to make almost all stars and actors in Hollywood untie.

Let's see who they are!

The man sitting in the owner's seat is Michael Eisner, Paramount's executive vice president and director of film production.

The one to his right with a beautiful mustache is Alain Ryder, president of 20th Century Fox.

Next to Alain Ryder was a very fat man, and this was Rosen Brandt, president of Columbia Pictures.

Directly across from Michael Eisner, a tall, somewhat aloof man named Sam Karloff, president of Universal Pictures.

To the right of Sam Karloff, George Harding, president of Warner Bros.

The last one is the smiling middle-aged man to the left of Michael Eisner, Matthew Cody, MGM president.

Although Michael Eisner is not the president of Paramount, Barry Diller completely lets Michael Eisner go to the film aspect, so he can fully represent Paramount's film affairs.

The heads of the seven big Hollywood companies, except for Lianyi Film Company, which has been acquired by the Kirin Group, are now sitting here, and it's hard to believe that they are just drinking coffee.

Something must have happened!

Well, yes.

This time, Michael Eisner actively organized the party, the purpose of which was to discuss the affairs of United Arts Film Company and Disney.

To put it more bluntly, Michael Eisner wanted to target the man he had always looked down on - Yin Jun.

At this time, Michael Eisner didn't know that Yin Jun had tried to recruit him, and this matter had hit a wall at Barry Diller, of course he didn't know.

But even Michael Eisner knew that he wouldn't care, and he wouldn't accept Yin Jun's solicitation at all.

In fact, what he is planning now is to teach this Hollywood intruder a lesson, let him know that not everyone can play Hollywood, and not everyone can call the wind and rain.

It is for this reason that the presidents of the other five giants are now sitting here.

Otherwise, with their daily opportunities, how could they have a few bored people drinking tea together? Even if they want to drink tea, they are drinking tea with beautiful female celebrities.

"There's been a lot of movement at Disney lately. Michael Eisner coughed lightly, "It is said that they are going to send dozens of artists to sketch on the African savannah, and this is to prepare for that $800 million cartoon at the box office?"

The crowd laughed.

Yin Jun's statement that Disney wants to make an animated film with a box office of 800 million US dollars is complete nonsense to insiders.

This live-action movie can't make 800 million US dollars, and you still dream of 800 million US dollars for an animated movie?

If they hadn't known that Yin Jun was a veritable genius, they would have laughed at this person as an idiot a long time ago.

Now these giants also feel that most of this is Yin Jun releasing a gimmick to attract the attention of Hollywood, newspapers and fans.

Otherwise, you see, there are a lot of newspapers and magazines that have been tracking this matter for a few months, and they can still maintain their popularity, which is very remarkable.

The key people haven't spent money yet.

And Yin Jun's withdrawal from Hollywood, in the eyes of this group of cunning people, of course, there are different interpretations.

Your Yin Jun quit Hollywood, doesn't mean that Kirin Group also quits Hollywood, right?

Wouldn't it be completely unmasked if someone else became the president?

Oh, by the way, the current president of the Kirin Culture and Beauty Branch is not Yin Jun, but a woman who has never heard of it before, a housewife!

"This cartoon doesn't care about it, Disney is now in decline, and there is no threat at all. "Disney should go back to the TV channel and do their cartoons." Or it's just their amusement park, why do you have to make movies so unexpectedly? Do you really think that if he can eat well in Asia, he can do it in Hollywood?"

"You can't say that. Little Alain Ryder shook his head, "I know that Yin Jun is an absolute genius. None of us here have been like him, who was able to swallow Disney and United Arts Pictures in one fell swoop at the age of 19. It is impossible to write dozens of scripts like him, and each one is a good script.

If Disney had used his script this time and had done it according to his vision, I don't think the box office would have been too bad, at least $100 million. This is certainly a good start for Disney. As long as they are steady, I believe they can still do well in Hollywood's animated films. ”

"What's the matter? Is Hollywood a good place to do well?" George Harding was dismissive of Alain Ryder's remarks, "Are United Arts movies good? They have 007! And the "Rocky" series that has been unearthed in the past few years, isn't it also very good? But if it collapses, what can you do? The market is so fickle! We can't capture it, let alone a Xiangjiang person!"

"Well, that's right. Rosenbrandt smiled, "Actually, Yin Jun is at ease as a screenwriter, and I think we still have a lot of places to cooperate." For example, the one he recently made "Police Detective School", I think it is very interesting, and the sequel is fully capable of climbing the peak. But if he wants to come to Hollywood and grab food with us, he can't do it. …… Right, Sam?"

Sam Karloff smiled, "Ask me what I'm doing?"

"Isn't he working with you on Spielberg's "." lately? It's all scheduled for June, and you're very confident, aren't you?" Rosenbrandt said jealously, Yin Jun's script is actually secondary, and he values Spielberg's genius more, but unfortunately he was held tightly by Universal and didn't let go at all.

"Hehe, Stephen said he likes it very much, and we think it's good, so let's see the results. Sam Karloff said, "However, Yin Jun is really not a good stubble, just a screenwriter, he actually bargained with us, and finally took so much profit and equity in the past." ”

"If he's not smart, how can he come to Hollywood and buy two companies in one go?" Michael Eisner snorted coldly, "Sam, we're discussing today to teach this Xiangjiang kid a lesson, you won't have any opinions, right?"

"I completely agree with everyone, otherwise I wouldn't have come. Sam Karlov said, "Business is business, but the status of our major companies must still be respected." ”

"Well, it's too early to talk about his animated film, but recently he's been making a movie himself, have you heard of it?" said Michael Eisner, introducing the most important topic of the day.

"I've heard of it. Alain Ryder nodded, "Actually, if it weren't for him and Disney, we at 20th Century Fox would have wanted to work with him." It's a pity that he doesn't care about our friendliness, and the investment of more than 20 million US dollars, if you add publicity funds, will be at least more than 30 million, but he will not introduce any investment partners, he is very confident!"

"What's the content? It's the kind of 'Police School' again?" said Rosenbrandt, "and Chinese people can only make this kind of small-scale comedy movie." ”

"No, you're wrong. Matthew Cody is clearly a man of interest, too, "He made a hot action movie that even many of the elite in the digital field followed." Considering the various costs of that place in Xiangjiang, you can actually treat this movie as a super big investment of 50 million US dollars. ”

Although the stunt company in the digital field has not been established for a long time, its growth momentum is very fierce.

Many Hollywood companies are now looking for them to do special effects, Spielberg's "."

Hearing 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 happens, do you think he will become the shortest-lived boss in Hollywood?"

"It's nowhere near that. This time it was Michael Eisner who was speaking, "Although Yin Jun is burdened with a total of $3.7 billion in debt, he has enough confidence to support his development in the Transformers project! In fact, if HSBC hadn't taken the lead, our banks such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley would have been very willing to accept his mortgages. ”

"So, is it useful for us to target him like this?" said George Harding, frowning.

"Of course it works!" said Michael Eisner, "and this is the first film he directed." The first movie has a total investment of more than 30 million US dollars, and if we beat it hard, it will have a huge impact on the morale of Yin Jun, the morale of the Kirin Group, or the morale of Disney and United Arts.

The first part may not be able to make him break his muscles and bones, but if we hit hard in several movies in a row, naturally everyone will gradually lose confidence, and Yin Jun may not be able to bear it. In the end, he had no choice but to sell these two companies, end his unrealistic journey in Hollywood, and return to Asia to be called "king". ”

"Yes, I thought so too. Rosenbrandt agreed.

The rest of the people also nodded slightly.

For everyone, reducing a strong competitor is definitely a good and harmless thing.

Then if Disney and Lianyi stay, they can take the opportunity to swallow it at a low price and enhance their strength!

"Now that everyone agrees, let's start thinking about which movie we use to fight him. Michael Eisner's heart was relieved and a smile began to appear on his face.

"They wouldn't have dared to go toe-to-toe with Spielberg in June. Alain Ryder pondered, "If my expectations are good, Yin Jun still wants to make a difference, so July should be the most likely time to be released." ”

"July, won't it be too rushed, it's April now!" said George Harding.

"Xiangjiang is a magical place, they can often make a movie in ten days. So I don't think there's anything Yin Jun can't do. Rosenbrandt shrugged.

"Haha......"

Everyone laughed out loud, and the irony was so good.

After laughing, Michael Eisner looked at George Harding, "George, do you see your "Superman 2", can it be scheduled for July?"

"Good!"

George Harding nodded, "Since everyone has decided so, let's do our part...... However, in terms of the intensity of publicity and the arrangement of the theater, you all have to help us more!"

He is also crisp enough, but in fact, he is also pushing the boat.

"Superman 2" originally wanted to set a schedule in June, but Universal's "." announced its release date one step ahead of them, and it was also in June, which was a bit difficult to do.

What kind of director Spielberg is, there is no one in Hollywood who does not know, who wants to fight with his commercial blockbusters, but it really takes some courage.

Even if it is the most attractive brand of "Superman", Warner Bros. does not have much confidence, and they do not want to see both loses.

Now that they have retreated to July, not only do no one say that they are retreating, but these film companies will give more compensation.

Sure enough, Sam Karloff, the president of Universal, breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to respond, "Don't worry, we will have arrangements here, whether it is publicity or cinema, it will definitely satisfy you." ”

"Superman 2" is reluctant to touch ".", why does "." like to touch "Superman 2"?

In this way, everyone occupies a schedule, which is naturally the best!

"We, Paramount, will support it as well. Michael Eisner, of course, agreed.

As the two of them spoke, several other companies would definitely not say bad, so they also said that they would give "Superman 2" a better arrangement in theaters.

This group of people is so understated, from beginning to end, they have not mentioned what movies Yin Jun made, what the content is, how it was filmed, and what characteristics it has.

In their opinion, movies made outside of Hollywood are unlikely to be a big hit at the box office.

The last time "Police Inspector School" was just an accident, isn't it thanks to so many European and American actors, can there be good results?

Since the United States implemented the anti-monopoly law on films, theater chains and film companies have implemented the method of separating operations.

However, this is limited to film companies and cinema chains, and does not include media companies.

Think about what this means?

That's right!

Time Warner Group can own the cinema chain because it is a large media conglomerate.

But it can also own Warner Bros. Pictures and use its own CNN to advertise it.

This is the reason why the seven giants of Hollywood will rely on a super media giant behind them in the future!

It is said that it is not allowed to hold the theater, but there is always a way to get around it.

Those who don't try to get around it, those who run their own independent productions, such as United Arts, Columbia, and MGM, end up being a painful lesson, warning the Hollywood giants what you should do.

This is also the reason why the last time Michael Eisner felt that Lucas was unruly and wanted to block it, it was so easy to operate.

Small film companies are so aggrieved.

Everywhere we have to be restrained by others, and we must be stripped and exploited by others.

Even the Mirax Company of the Weinstein brothers, the biggest black hand of the Oscars, wasn't this how it was acquired by Disney?

This time, Michael Eisner received much more support than last time.

As a result, he also has more confidence to completely defeat Yin Jun's movie.

If you don't have a success in the U.S., what kind of successful movie is it?

Wait!

From this movie onwards, I will keep you tasting failure!

Hollywood is the Hollywood of the Americans, and you can't afford to show off your might!
