Chapter 136 A Brick
In fact, from the very beginning, Spielberg did not want to take the copyright of "Spider-Man".
It's not that he looks down on Marvel, but that he doesn't want to cause trouble when he leaves.
Even Xu Fei knows that an entertainment company must have an actor, actress, queen, and queen. Then he, a record-breaking guy who can only entertain himself, is leaving After Universal, it will definitely be sought after by all film companies - this is the kingly way Xu Zha Fei said.
But Spielberg didn't have time to mess with these guys.
He has already discussed with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, and he plans to devote all his efforts to his new company after next year's Oscars. During the preparation of the company's establishment, he doesn't care about any movie projects. superior.
Although they are ambitious, it does not mean that they are all stupid.
He doesn't want to take away the resources that have already shown huge value, because only a "poor and white" start on the bright side can minimize the hostility of his peers. If the investment from companies such as Microsoft is in place, Warner, Paramount , Fox, Universal, and MGM-United Artists already know that Sony is madly sharing its overseas distribution channels with them. The sequels of "Jurassic Park" and the "Spider-Man" series are all in his hands. , then don't open this company...
Because the first day of opening is the moment when the peers are besieged!
There are connections, resources, a record-breaking sequel, the best technology at the moment, and distribution channels...
If a company like this doesn’t push it down in time, is it possible to keep it for the New Year?
So, even if Universal doesn't buy it, Spielberg will find a way to sell the copyright of his work. As for "Spider-Man"?
Even if the copyright of "Jurassic Park" can't be given up, how can it be possible to hold "Spider-Man" which has a great chance of success?
Now, Roland holds the copyright!
The project is being watched by those financial guys!
If you want to grab it, go for it!
See who beats whom in the end!
Before these guys build the future media aircraft carrier fleet, no one can beat those black-hearted financial operators!
These CEOs and presidents are all senior wage earners! They don't have the guts to be shit-stirring sticks!
Because of this, after hearing the inner flavor of Spielberg's words, Shane Berg smiled implicitly, and then took the initiative to change the subject.
...
Of course, even if Roland was told about the deal between the old man and Universal, he would have nothing to say.
Because selling things to Universal is obviously a move to maximize profits!
If you want to tap the value of an IP, apart from a series of derivative products such as books, clothing, toys, games, etc., the rest is actually a paradise. They can do the featherweight development methods of the former by themselves, and the publishing house can also do it themselves. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you start a clothing company, these are easy to handle, but no one will build a new project like a paradise, because it is not worthwhile.
Disney has Disneyland, and Universal has Universal Studios. These projects seem to bring them a lot of revenue every year, but they are also a manifestation of huge investment!
Why didn’t Sony make the theme park of "Terminator" by itself, but put it in Universal Studios?
Isn't it because the investment income is not directly proportional!
When the market is infinitely saturated, it is obviously wise to hand over the park project to a company that already has a market share. In this way, there is no need to take "Jurassic Park" away. Will have trouble with money!
As for Roland buying it?
This is a bit of a joke!
Of the more than 50 million shares after paying taxes, at least 60% should be reserved for David Fincher, and let him work on "The Seven Deadly Sins". It was worth to Spielberg, which was half of Sony's 20 million purchase price of the "Jurassic Park" game copyright.
Although the money came quickly, it was also spent quickly.
Now Roland has no capital at all to covet the old man's film and television copyright.
However, burning money now is much better than being beaten later.
As for the company that voted for "Seven Deadly Sins"?
Since the acquisition of Blizzard, Roland asked David to change the original company name to Blizzard Capital. In addition to Blizzard Entertainment, which is currently in operation, it also registered three shell companies including Warcraft Films, Interstellar Records, and Overwatch Venture Capital.
"Seven Deadly Sins" will be the first film cast by Warcraft Film and Television, because the previous "Wedding Banquet", regardless of whether Roland or Sony, did not add the name of their own company-for fear of bad influence.
Afterwards, the equity of the issuing company will also be held by Warcraft Film and Television.
Shouwang Venture Capital was reserved by Roland for internet companies.
Interstellar Records is more about tinkering with film and television music.
No way, who made all the guys around him dislike his bad singing?
The parent company, Blizzard Capital, holds all of Roland's current copyrights and 20,000 Berkshire shares.
These are things that won't sell.
Games, movies, and the Internet are the three legs he planned, and he is in charge of the operation. Of course, David Olsen.
As for why you keep using him?
This is the same as starting a company and making the father-in-law a legal person!
...
Regardless of whether the copyright was packaged and sold, or "The Lion King" fell into Roland's hands for no reason, all of these are actually the pursuit of capital after making history, and this enthusiasm will continue until they fall.
Because of this, after answering, Roland, who had a good idea, didn't indulge in it. In addition, the Vietnam War had already been filmed in the movie, and a group of people were all nested in the virgin jungle of Fripp Island. In this country where there is no subway signal , It is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, and Roland will not spend time to understand those worthless projects.
Of course, in addition to this, it is also related to the fact that his daily life is already full of plans.
In addition to normal fitness exercises and shooting schedules, every day at 8:30 on the West Coast and 11:30 on the East Coast, Roland would receive a call from California.
Elizabeth on the other side of the mainland will tell him what happened to him in kindergarten today—
The teacher taught them to draw again; today, some curious friends went to the class to peek at her in the name of sister and brother; all the students in the class are wearing their own clothes...
"Then are you happy?" Roland, who was nestled on the sofa, was used to little loli's nagging.
"I'm not happy." Little Loli, who was leaning on the bed, grabbed the Mickey that Roland bought for her before.
"Why? Someone bullied you? Then tell your brother directly!"
Seeing that Elizabeth's mood was wrong, Roland's first reaction was to close the door and let James go.
Although James can’t beat him, it’s okay to punch Nanshan Nursing Home and jio kick Beihai Kindergarten!
However, after feeling Roland's tone of being on the line, Elizabeth, who had already sat on Mickey's face, pouted and said, "No, no one bullies me. I just feel that staying in school is too boring."
"What? Why do you say that?" Roland put his feet on the coffee table, separated his feet, and easily clamped the mineral water bottle in front of him, "I have been to your school, the environment is very good..."
"It has nothing to do with the environment, I just think it's boring to be surrounded by classmates..."
At the end of the speech, little Loli leaned back, and the whole person was in a large font, and hit the middle of the bed, "Many students came to see me because of Ashley, Mary and you. They wanted to know about the Olsen family. What is the smallest guy like, and I also want to know how cute the guy who was led to Disney by Roland..."
"I don't think it's okay to come once or twice, but it's boring to come here often..."
“I feel like I am a zoo animal and they are the visitors.”
“Being disturbed every day makes me sleep bad at night…”
Well, this is the trouble I encountered when I was growing up!
Although the school that Elizabeth attended was the best in the local area, the school was either the daughter of Schwarzenegger or the son of a rich man, but these were not the reasons for them to stop watching. Who made Roland and the Olsen sisters so popular? ?
The onlooker effect after becoming famous is vividly reflected. Elizabeth may feel that the two sisters and Roland are nothing to look at. If she tugs on their clothes, these guys will turn their heads and ask, but for classmates...
Looking at the closest people around them is obviously another form of eye-opening!
And this form will make the parties quite distressed!
"If you don't want to go to school, then I'll call your dad and ask him to hire a tutor for you?"
Roland came up with a solution.
"No, you are not at home, I am too boring at home alone." Little Loli directly objected.
"Change your school?" Roland tried to solve the problem.
"They will know about you and my sister if you change schools." Little Loli tilted his head, and suddenly felt that Roland was so stupid.
"Then what good plan do you have?" Roland raised his forehead.
"I want to hear your story..." Little Loli pouted towards the ceiling, "And when will you come back..."
Okay...
The little guy still feels that being alone is too boring and wants to be accompanied.
Of course, Roland would not refuse Elizabeth's request.
As for the story—
If Elizabeth is not interested in the stories that are available on the market, then he can tell those stories that the other party does not know!
Isn’t it just reading the script outline in space?
This one is so easy!
And go home?
After thinking about the shooting schedule in his mind, Roland smiled and said, "I will be able to go back by the end of this year or the beginning of January next year at the latest. I will arrange for a month to take you out to play, okay? I can go anywhere, and then I will ask George borrowed the plane."
"Yeah!" A positive answer is what the little one wants.
"Bye!" While answering in a sweet and greasy tone, Elizabeth hung up the phone neatly!
Because she was afraid that Roland would repent!
Sister Aunt Liang's behavior made Roland roll his eyes when he heard the busy news.
Because even if the phone is ringing, it will not affect the crew arrangement. Due to the sequential shooting, the shooting scenes in the group are quite harmonious. After all, guys like lighting, photography, scene management, and scenery, They are all paid on a daily basis. The longer the time drags on, the more they will earn. Not only that, they don't have to worry about losing their jobs in a short period of time. In this way, the big guys are quite friendly to Roland who suddenly intervened. Friendly, and the instructor who was in charge of teaching the crew members to assemble firearms—well, in fact, Roland was the only one in the whole group who was idle and bored, learning how to assemble firearms there.
That's right, don't look at the extremely complicated filming locations of "Forrest Gump", but most of the cost is actually Tom Hanks' salary, Robert Zemeckis's salary, and industrial light and magic. The special effects fee collected, after these three are removed, the rest of the cost is actually the production cost of a "Home Alone 2".
Know the so-called military training, why do you want to shoot in the tent?
Because of the external special training seen through the tent window, the long-distance running and jumping exercises of the recruits are all CGI images!
Not only that, even the guys who went to the front and participated in the battle were just a group of people who entered the army at the same time as A-Gump, and only changed their appearance and makeup to distinguish them from the recruits.
In the previous college football game, the crew only hired more than a hundred temporary extras, and the cheering auditorium was all separated by a green screen. The so-called crowds were all computer stunts.
To be honest, Roland has always felt that acting against a green screen and in the air is the most test of an actor's acting skills.
In the absence of reference objects, the actors in front of the green screen are no different from fools.
Especially when Hanks took the camera with both hands, facing the air in a serious manner, he almost laughed out loud when he was sitting in front of the monitor——As far as the skills Hanks showed, he could beat the boss. Zhuang Huo, who was specially approved by the designer for marriage, has a ghost!
Fortunately, the scene of ping-pong diplomacy was not described too much, otherwise, Roland would really suspect that he might be the first guy to die laughing on the set, and his actions of covering his eyes and turning his head from time to time were also watched by a group of people In the eyes, after the play, Hanks grabbed his collar because of this and asked him what he thought was wrong.
"I don't think anything is right." Roland expressed his thoughts honestly.
"What? This is the first time I've heard you say such a thing!"
Since Roland has always been modest and eager to learn, Hanks immediately expressed surprise after hearing the negative comments, "Are you questioning the table tennis coach the film crew hired? He is a professional! "
"But you are not professional." Roland raised his head and squinted at the other party.
When Roland said this, Hanks was unhappy, "I followed the coach's request!"
"Then do you dare to fight with me?" Roland rolled up his sleeves immediately.
Of course, Hanks is not afraid to play table tennis with Roland. According to their character shaping process, learning table tennis by himself is also an important process for the character to become himself, so after Roland invited him, he took off his coat and picked up the racket .
But alas...
Even if he wears underwear outside, it's useless!
This is the same gene as the Vegetable Maniac. Even if he hasn't touched a racket for more than three years, Hanks can't beat him!
Just when Hanks waved his hands again and again to admit defeat, Roland put his hands in his pockets and left the set humming a little tune.
Originally...he didn't need to appear in this movie.
Under the dismantling and analysis of Hanks and others, Roland also has a deep understanding of character shaping. In this situation, as long as he accumulates slowly and grasps the trivial things in life, he can achieve his goals, Roland treats In the group, they were actually capturing Hanks' performance. If he was Kakashi, he might be able to copy the details of the other party's movements in just one day.
Because of this, the filming progress of the crew will not be disturbed by him, and he himself...
It is more like a brick of revolution, where it needs to be moved; to develop a flower, where it can be planted.
Whatever technicians the crew lacks, he can make up for it!
