Chapter 319 Busy October
Although both News Corp. and Roland Allen will misunderstand each other’s intentions, and the brainless will fight wits with the air, but it doesn’t matter, because the choices of both sides are the same, that is, procrastination.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move; if the enemy moves, I will...
Forget it, let’s play one, two, three wooden figures together!
In the next month, Fox did not make any statement on Roland Allen's invitation to acquire, and Roland Allen did not continue to investigate the history of News Corporation's development in the UK, so both parties tacitly believed that the other party Understand your own intentions and give a practice that is in your own interest.
Eh! That's great!
Roland Allen breathed a sigh of relief because of the mistaken understanding, because if there is a bid, he still has the hope of winning the Blue Sky Studio. At the same time, News Corp. also feels that Roland Allen is still inclined to cooperate, after all , the market is so big, no one can monopolize it all, and the reason why he is depressed may be because Rotten Tomatoes is something he has long liked?
When News Corporation found out that Roland Allen was copying their second mine, they re-evaluated the whole thing, and then found that Rotten Tomatoes might have been targeted by Roland Allen long ago.
Because the very beginning of Rotten Tomatoes was Jackie Chan’s fan forum. As the number of Kung Fu fans gathered here continued to increase, the content of everyone’s chats became mixed, so the fan exchange community came into being.
As a guy who recruited Brother Jackie Chan from Hong Kong through Ang Lee in 1995 to compose action scenes, Roland Allen may have used this website a long time ago, and thought about buying it? Otherwise why sell IMDb?
But for some reason, this site was preempted by their News Corporation.
So, the anger of Robbery made Roland Allen cooperate with Disney?
Although this kind of judgment is a bit far-fetched, News Corporation still included it in the data file. There is no way, who made Roland Allen never follow the routine all these years? Except for Yahoo at the beginning, no one can understand Roland's other investment behaviors. From game entertainment to film and television entertainment to the Internet, from technology companies to personal brands to biomedicine, they have nothing to do with them. He looked stunned, but it was precisely this kind of blind betting behavior that made him a lot of money.
The point is, at the beginning, the blind investments in people's eyes all produced qualitative changes other than money in the end. It is the most unbelievable thing to form cliques through investment. Therefore, News Corp. would rather analyze them desperately. His approach will not be taken lightly on the surface, because no one knows whether what Roland is doing now will become a knife in the future.
...
Of course, the earth will still rotate if it leaves anyone.
While the two sides stared at each other across the air, everything in the outside world continued in an orderly manner.
In early October, a religious ceremony was held on Matamata, North Island, New Zealand.
The elders from the Maori tribe prayed for the film crew, wishing the filming work to be completed smoothly.
This kind of behavior is actually the same as turning on the phone and worshiping God. I hope God will bless the shooting work smoothly.
For theists, such a link is essential, but for atheists, it is a bit embarrassing to do so.
But even if they feel embarrassed, at this time, they have to endure it like turning on the milk tea wheel without worshiping God.
After all, mutual respect is the basis of cooperation!
After the opening ceremony, everyone followed Peter Jackson to the real Shire.
The green and long grasslands make people feel proud, and the pocket houses under the hills add a lot of popularity to the broad and beautiful scenery.
Green waters and green mountains, small bridges and houses, and medieval stone brick and tile houses evoke a sense of nostalgia for the yellowed years. When actors in elegant costumes gather in twos and spread around for four weeks, the illusion of experiencing history is amazing. Unconcious.
If you remove the staff on the set, remove those outdated modern props.
That can really make people rise to a kind of pursuit of walking in the middle earth.
“History becomes legend, and legend becomes myth.”
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Fatty Peter, who had been preparing for this for ten years, almost burst into tears.
Thinking that his childhood fantasy was about to be created by himself, he grabbed the board in the hand of the field manager and put it in front of the camera, "On October 11, 1999, the first scene was shot for the first time. , Action!"
...
If the launch of "Lord of the Rings" gave Peter Jackson the urge to bring his dream into reality, then the launch ceremony of "X-Men" at Universal Studios on October 15th was much calmer.
As a traditional commercial film, apart from the press conference, there are no such things as blessings, wishes, and prayers, and the topics discussed at the press conference are actually very simple.
Ask director Bryan Singer about creative intentions;
Ask the lead actor Hugh Jackman for his opinion on the role of Wolverine;
Learn how Charlize Theron was selected;
Let producer Kevin Feige explain the hardships of building a team.
All the questions are very compliant, and all the answers are all within the safety red line...
Ryan Singer said, ""X-Men" is a great comic. I re-read the shooting content before shooting, hoping to grasp the essence and satisfy everyone. '
Hugh Jackman expressed his joy, "I have read Marvel comics since I was a child, and my favorite is Wolverine." '
Charlize Theron even vented her excitement, "The crew actually didn't choose me at the beginning. On the day of the audition, I just followed the director's request to act. Unfortunately, I didn't get any feedback on the scene. I thought at the time that this role would leave me." I went, but after I got home, I received a call from my agent, who told me that the crew thought I was doing a good job, but my image was slightly different from Phoenix Girl, if I could reach their level within three months Ask, then I can try again. When I heard the news, I couldn't contain my excitement. I think this is what Goddess of Luck will do. Thank you to the crew for giving me this opportunity. '
Kevin Fitch was even more explicit, "When I handed in my ideas, the boss agreed to my plan. His trust in me is the driving force for me to move forward. I have never felt that the producer , How hard it is to build a team, because no matter how busy I am, the pressure will not be as great as the boss who trusts me unconditionally. Although I have devoted time and experience, the boss has helped me block doubts and suspicions. group, but he has to bear the unknown after I didn't take care of it. So...thank you for the trust of the boss, because of his trust, there is an extra producer in Hollywood who is in his twenties. '
Such an answer made the reporters smile knowingly.
Although Kevin Fitch didn’t name his boss and took the initiative to complain about his age, the reporters didn’t mean to dig deeper—how did the young Kevin Fitch become a film producer? Why are there only people from Universal and Marvel on the scene? Why did no one come to the Warcraft film and television that exists in the promotional materials?
They don't want to know these things at all, and even if they know, no one is willing to report these **** things!
Some bosses are unwilling to show up, so the media respects his ideas and makes them invisible.
In this way, in the subsequent reports, it is—
‘“X-Men” was launched, and the handsome men and beautiful women detonated the audience’
'Hugh Jackman Wolverine, Opera Actor Makes His Screen Debut'
‘The most beautiful phoenix girl in history, the American dream of South African diamonds’
'Kevin Feige Talks Trust, Watch How a Twenty-Year-Old Became a Producer'
Announcement is actually telling a story!
It’s just different from movies. The story told at this time is the story of each producer.
Actor, director, producer, how did these guys come about?
As long as the story in it looks touching, the truth is not important.
When people learned that Charlize Theron spent three months slimming down in order to win the role of Phoenix Girl.
Eh!
Dedicated people come out if they can’t be set up?
And when people learned that Kevin Fitch liked Marvel comics since he was a child. As a fanatic, he collected all Marvel comics and a large number of figures. Wei's boss submitted his own movie idea, and then got the approval of the other party, and gave him investment to let him shoot.
Eh!
At this time, aren't the fans even more excited?
The producer is a fan of comics. The actors can turn down other film contracts in order to shape the characters. The director is not as arrogant and domineering as the guy who didn’t read the original. When everyone conveys the image that we will seriously make movies, the film’s The degree of attention will naturally increase gradually, and the expectations of movie fans will naturally continue to increase.
As for whether this behavior is deception?
Oops, forget about it!
In Roland's previous life, there was often such a saying on the Internet—
‘Some actors don’t know anything, but special ones know how to fire people! '
'Some directors fell into the eye of money, and the gambling contracts were signed! '
'You see Hollywood blah blah...'
Isn’t this sand sculpture?
As long as anyone in the entertainment industry has a human design, it doesn't matter whether it's an actor or a star, it's all a human design.
Do you think Charlize Theron’s weight loss announcement is similar to the draft of the Heavenly Court Banquet?
Then why no one said that even Tom Hanks made a lot of weight-loss news?
In January of this year, the filming of "The Rest of a Deserted Island" started, halfway through the filming, and then the crew stopped working.
Because it is time to give Tom Hanks time to lose weight.
And in this case, the drafts all over the world are Tom Hanks, who is extremely dedicated to his work in order to lose weight for filming!
If it is said that Tom Hanks' behavior is called professionalism, it is because he acts well, then at the same time, because of the betting contract, the director of "The Rest of the Deserted Island" Robert Zemeckis, While Tom Hanks lost weight, he turned to filming the movie "Dangerous". Can this kind of behavior count as money?
Well, if this kind of behavior is not counted, because Robert Zemeckis is also the director of "Forrest Gump" after all, and he has the confidence to double-play at the same time, then the impromptu bad film "Dangerous" will continue to Not only that, Harrison Ford, who was called in in order to catch up with work, didn't even read the book. Is this kind of behavior just bad money?
Eh!
Can't answer?
Movie itself is the art of deception, and the publicity is just to magnify this deception again. In this case, deceiving fans, film fans and the world is the most normal behavior, and those who do not deceive are stupid!
In this way, as long as the announcement of "X-Men" makes people feel that these newcomers are good and are indeed working hard to make movies, then the cost of the announcement will be worthwhile. At the same time, DreamWorks is also cheating.
...
At the end of October, Steven Spielberg finally got out of the milk baby state.
The first thing he did after he left was to lead the merger of DreamWorks Animation and Pacific Digital Video.
Pacific Digital Imaging Company is a 3D animation production company similar to Pixar, which was bought by the old man a few years ago, and through this merger, DreamWorks Animation and DreamWorks have nothing to do with each other.
Dreamworks was established when Paul Allen and Samsung Princess paid for their shares, but now that they have been split and merged, the old man has squeezed out all the shares of these two companies.
The newly formed DreamWorks Animation, the old man and Jeffrey Katzenberg hold a total of 76% of the shares.
Since in DreamWorks Animation, the shares of both parties are equal, and Pacific Digital Image is the old man's personal company, so, on the surface, DreamWorks Animation is still managed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, but behind the scenes My boss is just an old man.
In this way, Roland Allen, who heard the news, picked "6" crazily.
This kind of operation is too special, okay!
Paul Allen and Princess Samsung spent money and shares to help DreamWorks develop and watch DreamWorks grow. Then one day, the DreamWorks studio split internally, and more than half of the shares of the two of them were cut to DreamWorks. Factory Movies and DreamWorks Music, and a small part was cut to DreamWorks Animation.
From a shareholder who holds the right to speak, he directly becomes a passer-by who buys shares and pays dividends.
If it’s just these things, then forget it. After the merger, Jeffrey Katzenberg, the actual controller of DreamWorks Animation, was also kicked off the throne by the old man. Most of the money earned was taken away by the old man. This kind of capital operation is simply a model of robbery!
Although Roland didn't know how the old man persuaded the bald man, let alone how he settled Paul Allen and the three-star princess, this kind of result was already worthy of his frantic calling!
However, appreciation is appreciation, and there is no chance for interviews.
Because when the busy October passed quietly and the Christmas schedule quietly approached, the massive promotion of "Spider-Man 2" has arrived.
Accompanies it with the long-awaited ‘RandK’ accessory collection.
Note: ① Rotten Tomatoes appeared because of Jackie Chan. The founder is a Jackie Chan fan. Before "Rush Hour" was released, he set up a website to collect information about Jackie Chan. After "Rush Hour" was released, the influx of people became more and more If there are too many, Rotten Tomatoes has become a platform for fans to communicate, and then it will expand wildly. ② No one can compare with Hollywood in terms of firing people and making money. Tom Hanks filmed half of the crazy weight loss news. At the same time, Robert Zemeckis and Harrison Ford are messing The "Dangerous Threats" is also a quick way to make money. In order to hurry, they also closed the bridge on Lake Chamberlain when filming "Dangerous", which seriously affected the local people's livelihood, and then they were sued. ③DreamWorks Animation was not dismantled in 2004 as Du Niangpedia wrote. They were already divided at the beginning of two thousand years ago. The shares of Paul Allen and Samsung Princess were resolved with the brand of DreamWorks. In other words, when DreamWorks Animation was dismantled, they only enjoyed a small part of the intellectual property rights of the "DreamWorks" brand logo. They are no longer DreamWorks, and if they want to continue using this brand, they need to authorize DreamWorks. fee. Because they had never done computer 3D before, the two investors agreed, and the high licensing fee would allow them to regain blood, but unfortunately, the copyrights of "Shrek" were all in the hands of the old man and the others. Earned a loneliness. This is really a classic capital operation, not everyone will be killed by them.
PS, there will be no update tomorrow, my high school classmate is getting married, so I will go to his house tonight.
