Chapter 235 Overdraw everything and become a living legend! Status transfer, officially promoted to executive!
Nothing is free in this world.
Even if people in the circle understand that Matt Damon, Robert Duvall, Peter Fonda, and Dustin Hoffman are unlikely to win the award, they must continue to persuade the judges and let them vote. Vote for Roland.
Among them, there is a big difference between one public relations and two public relations at the same time.
In fact, the Oscar selection rules are very interesting. During the primary selection process, the Academy will make a form of films that are eligible to participate in the year and distribute it to the corresponding members. Members can choose their favorite films or filmmakers in this form. .
As an industry award, practitioners in each industry can only vote for practitioners in their own industry. For example, Steven Spielberg, a guy from the orthodox Directors Association, can only vote for the best award. The director is pitted, but if he is an actor like Clint Eastwood who has become a director and has joined the association, he can vote for five...
One for Best Director, one for Best Actor, one for Best Actress, one for Best Supporting Actor, and one for Best Supporting Actress.
Eh!
From this look, you can find that the actor award is not the same as other awards!
Because he is a member of the Actors Association who has voting rights, he casts four votes for the four awards at once, and it is no longer a choice to let the judges write the names of the two publicists on the list at the same time. It's called manipulation...
The autonomy is completely gone!
And if you add the best picture that everyone has to vote for, or just take Clint Eastwood as an example of a guy who can cast six votes a year, usually those guys are the best picture if they die. Vote for an A, Best Director for an A, Best Actor for a B, Best Actress for a C, Best Actor for a D, Best Actress for an E, and this year... Best Picture , Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, special codes are all A!
Out of the six tickets, four of them were dropped by the same public relations party. In this case, what do you make Clint Eastwood think?
Oh, I'm sorry, as the brother-in-law of George Lucas' student Ron Howard, Mr. Clint may not be so chatty, but the other judges will not be as easy-talking as the old man...
If it is said that the difficulty of publicizing one performance award is normal, then the difficulty of publicizing two performance awards at the same time is hell, and the difficulty of getting four out of six tickets is comparable to a nightmare.
In this case, how much will Roland pay?
He didn't know it himself.
However, he knows one thing.
All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.
He never felt that he could get anything easily, everything in life requires a price, and he didn't expect himself to be able to get that trophy easily, what he wanted to know now was the price of the trophy.
And this price is not something Spielberg can reply immediately.
After learning that Roland was willing to make an inquiry, Spielberg also decisively passed on the news that Roland and Kate wanted to take away the actor and actress, and told the Big Six. When faced with the price offered by Roland...
The Big Six, who were not surprised, all expressed their views.
...
"What should come, will still come."
News Corporation's conference room was packed with people.
After receiving the award request from Spielberg himself, Fox, who felt that the matter was too big to be in charge, immediately reported it and asked the group company to make a decision on this transaction.
Well, if it is a transaction, it is actually not appropriate.
Because in the award plan written by Spielberg for Roland, it only emphasized that as the producer and distributor of "Titanic", Fox is obliged to help Roland and Kate win the Olympics. There is a direct impact on collecting that, and the cost of winning the prize will be borne by both parties.
If the well-documented 10 million was spent on the prize, then Fox and Roland would each bear 5 million.
But even if what Spielberg said is true, News Corporation, who also knows the difficulty of winning awards, wants more.
"This deal does not seem to be a big problem on the surface, but Roland Allen wants to win an award, which is itself a problem."
"We can help them win the Olympics, but we need more benefits."
"They won the Oscars, which can greatly stimulate the sales of "Titanic" in the DVD market, but this is not enough. We will sell the DVDs of "Titanic" on the day after the Oscars, and at the same time , we need them to cooperate to come up with big news, big news that can stimulate movie fans to buy..."
“Aren’t a lot of people posting on Yahoo, IMDb, MSN these days, begging them to get married?”
"Then let Roland publicly express his love to Kate before the DVD is sold..."
"Of course, if you don't get it, then our deal will not take effect."
"This is a very fair price, right? We don't even ask them to share the cost of the Olympics."
...
Unlike Fox, who wanted to squeeze out all the value of "Titanic", after Columbia Samsung Pictures saw the Olympic deal, they directly put Spielberg's proposal "because Roland will continue to shoot "Spider-Man 2, 3" , so after winning the Oscar, the illusory bargaining chip that is beneficial to the subsequent film promotion' was rejected.
"Roland Allen continued to film "Spider-Man 2 and 3". That was our previous deal, and it had nothing to do with the Olympics."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that we won't help him compete in the Olympics, but we feel that the bargaining chips for the deal can be slightly modified."
"Aren't many people begging them to get married now?"
"Then when we were filming "Spider-Man 2 and 3", we made some other scandals and gossip, such as-"
"Peter Parker may have fallen in love with Mary Jane on set."
"When the guys who begged Roland and Kate to marry see the news, they're going to have a lot of interest in the movie, whether it's trying to figure out, 'How did Bitch who played Mary Jane hook up with Roland' or want to know , 'Is there true love in this world', they will all walk into the theater to taste it with a high probability..."
"Of course, we don't control the final result."
"Whether Roland broke up with Kate or denied it, we don't care."
"But these must not happen before the film is released."
“What we wanted was some sort of soap-opera romance in the promotional period for Spider-Man 2 and 3.”
"And, as far as we know, Roland doesn't have any projects after "Spider-Man 2 and 3"?"
"Since this is the case, then we also hope that during the promotion period of "Spider-Man 3", Roland can take the initiative to say that this will be his last starring movie. After filming "Spider-Man 3", he will Say goodbye to the screen, no more acting..."
"This is what we want to exchange chips, a gimmick that can make money."
...
If Fox wants to squeeze out all the profits of "Titanic" and Sony wants to verify how terrifying Roland Allen's fan buying power is, then Paramount wants to win the game after being hammered by the two. In love, get a share.
"We finally understand why Roland gave up the rake of "Saving Private Ryan", but we are not satisfied."
"However, we are not too much, we just want a TV interview of this couple."
“During the promotion period of Saving Private Ryan, we needed Roland and Kate to participate in the talk show we arranged, and asked them to tell the behind-the-scenes story of Saving Private Ryan during the filming period.”
"This must involve Roland's visit to Kate's house."
"As for the scale, we require three points: 'why did Roland go', 'communication between Roland and Kate's family', and 'future plans'? If they don't want to talk about other more in-depth questions, they don't have to." chat."
"Of course, all of this will be based on the success of the award."
"If not, void."
...
Fox, Sony, and Paramount, these three giants that have direct cooperation with Roland, all showed the greed of capital, or 115 million in three days, which not only shocked the world, but also made capital even more crazy!
What kind of charm does Roland have?
How much potential does Roland have?
How much profit can Roland bring to everyone?
These questions, they all want to know!
Oh no! They don't want to know! They just want to get it for themselves!
While the three companies directly related to Roland revised their price tags, Warner, who had never cooperated with Roland, was also studying the letter of intent for cooperation submitted by Spielberg on behalf of Roland.
Looking at the "Harry Potter" placed in front of them, the faces of these people are covered with careless eggs.
"A lot of times I wonder if these guys are from the future like Martin (the hero of "Back to the Future")."
“Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park…”
“I just wonder, where on earth do these guys come up with all these sets?”
"Why is it so difficult for us to make a series, but they can achieve mass production on the issue of series?"
"If it is said that these are written by them themselves, then we will admit it. After all, there is Stephen King out there, right? But the problem is that many series are bought by them!"
"I can't bear this!"
"Why are they able to see valuable sets while we're buying crap?"
"Um???"
"It was Spider-Man before, and now it's Harry Potter, and what about us? Can't any of the DCs we bought be able to do it?"
"ah???"
Such a question made the people present look at each other in dismay.
If it is said that the results of "Titanic" made Warner, who did not release the movie at the same time, relieved, if it is said that the devastating massacre and the changes in this year's Olympic team made Warner have long expected Roland Allen's backing. The guys from Dashan may make something happen. If they are not surprised by the deal that Spielberg helped to submit for the Olympics, then when they saw the two books attached to Spielberg, they thought The guys who are waiting to start the robbery are all frowned, and after they finish reading the contents of the book...
Grab the grass!
Where did this special code come from?
Since the manuscript was only received at the beginning of June, it was handed over to George Lucas at the end of the month, and Lucas Books was commissioned to proofread and publish it. At the beginning of September, Roland Allen's own gossip news, which was still able to grab the attention of the children, came again. Occupied the headlines of the major media, so...the proofreading was completed as early as July, the cover was designed at the end of the month, various publicity plans were arranged in mid-August, and the ISBN "Harry Wave" was obtained at the end of the month "Special", which has not yet been published...
But even if it is not published and there is no real enthusiasm, it does not mean that Warner cannot see the value of this book.
"Jurassic Park" was bought by Spielberg when it was still a manuscript, and after receiving the draft submitted by Spielberg, Universal immediately gave the green light and said it would shoot!
Actually, in many cases, these non-personnel film companies can still see valuable content.
But it is precisely because these guys' aesthetics are basically online that they will throw out "Harry Potter" to Roland—
Beep in a daze!
Because they could tell that the pair of master and apprentice were really ready to harvest leeks again!
More than 30 years ago, with the success of the first human landing on the moon, various film and television works full of beautiful fantasies in outer space sprung up like mushrooms, and at this time, Spielberg swept the market with "E.T." , for the children of the same era, to achieve the harvest, not only make a lot of money, but also establish their own position in the minds of the children;
More than 20 years ago, with the prevalence of neoliberalism, the generation gap between old and new thinking was increasing day by day. Under such circumstances, a series of films about youth and self-proving were launched continuously. At this time, Roland used "Home Alone" broke the record and achieved a harvest for the children of the same era. It not only made a lot of money, but also established its position in the hearts of the children;
What now?
With the development of technology and the acceleration of information exchange, people are more eager for film companies to bring them immersive visual feasts. A series of movies have emerged as the times require, breaking records. At this time, a child's perspective, The story of saving the world appeared, coupled with the names of Spielberg and Roland that appeared at the same time as the entire project, the idea of ??continuing to harvest the leeks of children in the new era naturally appeared in Warner's mind.
Crap!
No matter who you show it to, they will think that this pair of master and apprentice wants to harvest leeks again!
In Warner's eyes, the children born one crop after another are the leeks planted in the back garden of the master and apprentice. The leeks in the house have been growing for a few years, and the wait is almost done, so they will make another cut. As long as humans are born, they will be able to find the pulse of the times and draw them into their audiences!
And now, this pair of master and apprentice actually use this as a bargaining chip for the Olympics?
It's just, it's just, it's just...
Warner really has no Fuck to say...
However, even if they are very satisfied with this chip, it does not mean that they will be satisfied.
After venting, they returned to the topic.
"Is it 50% of the investment rights in Harry Potter?"
"It's not enough."
"Because the book has not yet been published, we do not know the prospects for the adaptation of this book."
"However, if Steven can publicly state that he will be the director of the adaptation project when the book is published, then we are also willing to cooperate with Warcraft Film and Television to jointly produce this project."
"In addition to investment rights, we also need distribution rights."
"According to the market period, twenty years."
"As long as they can accept such conditions, then we will help them to win the Olympics. At the same time, if they win the Oscar, we also need them to take a cover of "Time" magazine and accept a special interview."
"We set the cover theme, and the interview content can be discussed with each other, but there is a prerequisite, that is, before our "Time" magazine is sold, they cannot accept interviews with any other print media."
"Of course, everything is based on the success of the Olympics. If it fails, everything will be void."
...
If it is said that after watching "Harry Potter", Warner executives held a meeting and sprayed all those incompetent subordinates, and then they made up their minds to follow this pair of money-grabbing mentors and apprentices to cut off a wave of children Their leeks, then after Disney saw the cooperation intention submitted by Spielberg on behalf of Roland, Michael Ainas directly picked up the pen and revised the chips.
"Spider-Man in Disneyland?"
"This is fine! But the time limit has to be changed from 20 years after the establishment of the project to 50 years!"
"The preparation period for taking back the copyright if you don't build it has to be changed from five years to ten years!"
"Uh... At the same time, we also need a minimum investment of 50% of "The Lord of the Rings" and a distribution license of 20 years in the market. Besides... don't you want an Oscar? Then you change it. Let me give you an acceptance speech...Anyway, even if you get it, it would be a surprise, otherwise...you, Roland, don't prepare any acceptance speech..."
"That's right! Don't prepare Roland's acceptance speech, pretend that he doesn't know anything, pretend that he won't win the award, and at the same time, he is preparing a ring and giving it away directly on the Oscar stage..."
"Oh, just imagine, when viewers who like "Titanic" turn on their TVs and watch the live broadcast of the Oscars, not only can they see them holding up the trophy, but they can also see Roland showing love on the spot..."
"What a romantic thing this is! I believe that the live broadcast of the Oscars will skyrocket the ratings..."
"That's right, our ABC's market share and advertising revenue will also skyrocket!"
...
If Fox, Sony, and Paramount just want to operate the project they are working with Roland to the extreme and squeeze every profit out of it, then Warner, Disney, and Universal want to make money on the untapped gold mountain. Get a piece of the pie.
Even if Warner is satisfied with the bargaining chip of "Harry Potter", he still wants to take advantage of the popularity of "Titanic"; even if Disney is satisfied with Spiderman and "Lord of the Rings", he still wants to let the two Compared with them, Universal who got "X-Men" also made a request for the distribution rights for 20 years. At the same time, they still stared at On Roland's last remaining chip...
"The song "My Heart Will Go On" hasn't been released yet, has it?"
"Universal has reached an acquisition agreement with PolyGram. Starting next year, we will be one of the four major record companies in the world."
"We want the distribution rights of the song "My Heart Will Go On". As for the release time..."
"Then it will be March 24th, which is the day after next year's Oscars."
"We can't guarantee that we will be 100% successful in the Olympics, but we won't make fun of our own interests."
"Although "My Heart Will Go On" will be a hit no matter if they don't get the best actor or actress, but if the two of them get it, then this song will definitely reach several platinum within a week..."
"Perhaps within a month, a diamond can be rushed."
"And this is all money..."
"We don't take our own money, just kidding..."
"After all, two people holding the cup at the same time is the best announcement..."
...
Regardless of the bloatedness of the six major organizations, many celebrities have complained about their efficiency, but they have shown great enthusiasm for squeezing Roland Allen. On the morning of the 22nd, Spielberg gave After Roland made the phone call, at noon, he asked people to submit the cooperation invitation to the Sixth University, and in the evening, Roland had already received a positive reply from the Sixth University.
Looking at the almost shameless asking price of the Sixth University, Roland laughed with emotion.
"That is to say, if Kate and I want to win the Oscars at the same time next year, I need to pay for "My Heart Will Go On" and "X-Men", deal with Universal, and then propose to Kate on ABC's Oscar live broadcast." to meet Fox's demand for big news for the Titanic DVD release? Then I'm going to hand over Spiderman and Lord of the Rings to Disney for all the promises I made to them, and then we're going to accept The cover interview of "Time" magazine, and "Harry Potter" must be given to complete the contract with Warner? When "Saving Private Ryan" is announced, the two of us will have to arrange it last time with Paramount talk show to get rid of the Paramount deal? In the end, I have to match Sony's empathetic hype and announce that "Spiderman 3" is my last movie, so that everything is over ?”
After Roland sorted out the requirements of each family, the only word in his mind was 'overdraft everything'.
On the surface, what the Big Six want is money, but in fact, what the Big Six really want is not the copyright project at all, but Roland's past, present and future!
Analyzing the terms of each company, the six major parties just hope to continue to magnify his hype, but in fact, what they want to do is to use the popularity that Roland has accumulated in the past eight years at the moment when Roland and Kate reached the top at the same time. , completely drained, let those illusory popularity become a driving force, promote the number of ABC live broadcasts, promote the sales of "My Heart Will Go On" and "Titanic" DVDs, and maintain "Time" magazine's unshakable influence in the industry !
To put it simply, it is to burn the public's love for Roland as much as possible this time.
In addition, the talk show required by Paramount, the empathy hype required by Sony, and the last movie are to burn Roland's future. Fang has a lot of benefits, but it will also make the public gradually lose interest in Roland himself!
When Roland talked about his one-year relationship, the public might watch it with gusto.
When talking about a two-year relationship, the public may continue to enjoy it.
And when we are talking about three or four years?
I'm tired of watching it, okay?
Under such circumstances, if Sony’s demanded video hype is added, people who know that Roland will no longer film in the future will spend their future spending power on the present at one time.
This approach seems to be able to make a lot of profits, but in fact, it is also ending Roland's life as an actor.
"However, your actor's lifespan is already burning to the limit, isn't it?"
Roland could understand it, how could this old fox like Spielberg not know?
After hearing the relaxed laughter that let go of everything, Spielberg, who was clear in his heart, also said: "Roland, we all know that your success is all based on the tide of the times..."
“Home Alone is the first movie to capture the curiosity of children…”
"The T-1000 in "Terminator 2" is an epoch-making achievement in the history of film..."
“Jurassic Park captivates audiences with CGI…”
""Spider-Man" takes CGI to the extreme while stepping on the cusp of years of disasters in America..."
“Titanic is you selling the perfect love that all young women crave…”
"After this, you have no room to go up."
"In fact, you also know in your heart that you have reached the end of your career as an actor..."
"Yeah...it's over..." Roland sighed in agreement.
In the past eight years, Roland has made a total of ten films, but he has taken up all the opportunities for technological development.
Next, after "Spider-Man 3", no matter what he shoots, he can't jump out of the pit of repetition and imitation.
Even he himself knows that he has no future.
In other words, with his mediocre acting skills, the next future can only be that the truck driver has not yet begun to study—
"Avatar".
IMAX3D.
But that, obviously a little too long ago.
As a result, Roland actually didn't know what to shoot after "Spider-Man 3", and Roland, who originally regarded actors as a means of primitive accumulation of capital, actually didn't want to start acting before the formal integration of IMAX3D technology.
"And the Sixth National Congress obviously saw this, so they made such unscrupulous conditions, right?"
""Titanic" not only ended this year's Oscar suspense, ended all possible attempts to threaten me, but also ended my own future, because after that, unless I am stepping on the tide of the times, otherwise, whatever I play will be in the Step back."
"So, the Sixth Congress gladly accepted my copyright project without making a request for me to participate in the performance."
"Because of the gamble at this time, the chance of failure is very high."
"That's right." The blunt words won Spielberg's approval.
"Then do you think I should agree?" Roland, who got an affirmative answer, leaned on the sofa and asked with a smile.
"Should." The old man on the other end of the phone gave the most sensible answer, "When the public is still full of fantasies about your perfect image, you should directly realize all these fantasies."
"On the surface, it seems that you and Kate each won an Oscar, which is a very bad loss, but in fact, you have already made a lot of money... let the Sixth University endorse your love and put you on the altar, after that , no one will question your image quality, because questioning whether you are capable of winning awards is questioning whether the Big Six has made money in this business. The outside world can only flatter you, because the Big Six does not allow Become a part of Oscar's shady scene."
"Bundle my personal image with the six majors, right? And in the process, I can get all the money that should belong to me, such as the share of "My Heart Is Eternal". To... oh, no, I can get more, because my confession to Kate at the Oscars can stimulate fans to buy singles in bulk..."
“Yes, this is something that a lot of people want but can’t do.”
"So, you also think I should retreat bravely, right?"
"That's right, you showed me the script of the "Spider-Man" series. When Peter Parker jumped from a tall building, your screen image can also be frozen. Although I don't know how James would write such a plot, but I think, if it is put together with the current publicity plan, it is quite suitable..."
"Okay, Steven, can you tell me what you can gain from the whole incident?"
When Roland asked this question in a calm tone, the old man on the other end of the phone didn't mean to hide it, but chuckled, "Can't I care about my students?"
"Sure! But the time is wrong..."
"Okay, okay, it seems that I really can't hide it from you, but that's fine, neither of us has any psychological burden..."
Speaking of this, Spielberg suddenly paused, as if he was trying to organize his words, but it was more like sorting out everything so that he could tell Roland without reservation, "Uh... still remember that in May, William and us Did you have a dinner?"
"Maybe you made my hostility towards Nintendo clear. Later, before filming "Saving Private Ryan", Paul suddenly told me that Microsoft would try to acquire Nintendo in order to enter the console market."
"but…"
"They're in trouble now."
"Since the acquisition cannot be achieved, they are going to make their own hosts."
"The first target to enter the console market is Sony."
"Don't be surprised. Microsoft, whose working capital can kill a large number of companies, no matter what they do, their primary goal is to kill the industry hegemony, and Sony's Kutaragi Ken cheated Microsoft back then, so..."
"Do you think we can stay out of it?"
"We own 50% of the shares of Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television Joint Distribution Company."
"Once Microsoft and Sony fight, we will be involved no matter what, and at that time, the identity of an actor will be too bad for you, because an actor is a profession that eats personal image, and if Sony is annoyed, they It is very likely to directly discredit you, just like the Michael Jackson who is tearing up with them now."
"Since there will definitely be a war, you'd better discard the things that may affect you before starting the war."
"And after abandoning, because you still maintain good cooperation with Universal, Disney, and Warner, even if Sony wants to overturn your table, it has to ask to spend money on "X-Men", "Lord of the Rings" ” and “Harry Potter”, do you agree or not, at that time, as long as you assume the status of a star producer, you will be able to get the asylum of the three of them.”
"That's why I said that winning an Oscar is the best choice for you."
"Because your golden body was made by Liu Da, and because you realized all your popularity, Liu Da received a generous reward."
“Since we can’t stop Microsoft’s idea of ??using a knife against Sony, of course, we won’t stop their behavior, so why should we put something that may be unfavorable to us on the table?”
"Moreover, when Microsoft takes action against Sony, it might not be our opportunity..."
"Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television Joint Distribution Company owns 50% of the shares in our hands. No matter who buys Sony Columbia Samsung Pictures except us, it will be a loss..."
"Because of the most important overseas channel, we have eaten half of it."
"So, you who thought you were cheated by Sony, are you comfortable now?"
"Sony just wants to make more money from you, but we want Sony's life!"
Grab the grass!
So it was for this!
Roland previously felt that overdrafting everything was a last resort. Since he couldn't find a good project to act in, he would retreat bravely and replace the perfect image he had developed over the years with an Oscar, but now...
He smiled excitedly again.
Microsoft has revealed its idea of ????playing Sony?
Spielberg helped himself to the Olympics because they would also fight Sony?
Since this is the case, then he really has to agree to this series of overdraft operations!
because-
He also wants to kill Sony!
Before, he couldn't find a good reason to join, and he didn't know how to deal with his position, but now...
Winning an Oscar, enjoying the glorious moment brought by capital, and retreating bravely, will be preserved in the hearts of the world with the perfect image maintained by the six majors. This is the best choice for his development!
Since there is no hope of promotion, and it is impossible to seriously study acting, it is better to overdraw everything and become a living legend!
Being an actor for ten years, and being a **** for ten years, now, I'm finally about to stand up!
In the eyes of the public, he who has retreated bravely is the **** who ruled an era, but he himself knows...
Under the glorious appearance, there is a heart that wants to be a chess player!
"Fuck!" Thinking of this, the relaxed Roland laughed and cursed.
"It turns out that the deal I promised with the Big Six is ??also good for you?"
"Steven, if you said that Microsoft is going to engage Sony, then I would not be emotional!"
"It's not too late for you to know now!" Spielberg didn't want to take the blame, and directly brought the topic back to Chongao, "So, are you willing to accept the revised conditions of the Sixth National Congress?"
"Yes! Yes! Why am I not willing to do things that are only good for me?"
Roland obviously doesn't want to get entangled in this topic, or in other words, compared with the deal that is infinitely close to being reached, he is now more interested in Spielberg's idea of ??swallowing up Sony Columbia Samsung Pictures. That's it, I'm waiting to take home the Oscar next year... Now that it's settled, how about you talk to me about your thoughts on Sony? Why are you suddenly interested in Sony Columbia Samsung Pictures?"
Unfortunately, when talking about this matter, Spielberg's tone was not as smooth as when he encouraged Roland to go to the Olympics. He didn't want to talk about this kind of thing with Roland, or the old man felt that Roland just wanted to You need to see some numbers to understand your own thoughts, "I don't need to say anything about this..."
"Just ask David directly for the financial statements of Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television for this year..."
"I believe that after you read it, you will be like me, wanting to find a way to acquire Sony Columbia Samsung Pictures while Microsoft is stabbing Sony..."
"Because of Sony, it went too far..."
Note: ①Oscar voting is so sloppy. There is too much room for manipulation in the actor sector. Many times, one award will affect four awards at the same time. This is also the real reason why it is difficult for many movies to win the best actor and actress. . ②The 20-year distribution rights mentioned in the article are the minimum standard for Hollywood. Don’t think that Roland is cheated. Hollywood has been running for so many years, and the minimum is 20 years. To use an analogy, the birth of a movie can divide many rights. The two rights of investment and copyright are not explained, but the right of distribution is actually something that the producer and distributor discuss between the birth of a movie and the release. Like "Star Wars", although the copyright is in the hands of Lucas, he can decide whether "Star Wars" will make a sequel, which party to accept investment, and whom to find for distribution. However, the distribution rights of the first six "Star Wars" are all In the hands of Fox, "A New Hope" is a permanent distribution right. In other words, even if Disney acquires Lucasfilm, Disney can only make new movies in the "Star Wars" series, and only Fox can release the six old movies. Release the movie commemorative peripherals, and after Disney acquired Fox, the rights belonged to Disney. Of course, there is a BUG here. Before the popularity of Internet video, there was no digital distribution in the contract, so... Disney can release the entire "Star Wars" series on streaming media, because this right belongs to Lucasfilm. ③As soon as Microsoft entered the console market, it wanted to acquire Nintendo. Unfortunately, it was still trapped by anti-monopoly investigations.
