Traditional Hollywood film models often have a script first, and then find the appropriate producer, director, and actor based on the script.
With the onset of the commercial tide in the 1990s, this traditional model has undergone a fundamental change.
Hollywood is now a core producer, especially for commercial films with a large investment.
The producers first had an idea, then cooperated with the film company to set up a project, set up a crew, then wrote the script, and hired a director and an actor.
Both modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The
traditional mode is mainly based on screenwriting, so the structure, story and plot of the film are better. This is why more and more film critics now criticize today's movies for being frivolous, simple and full of holes the reason.
But a good story does not equal a high box office.
With more and more capital invested in movies, it is impossible for a film company to put all its hopes on the script of a screenwriter, as in the past. Once the box office fails, it is likely to lose everything!
So they started to change the way the film was made and became the core producer. The most fundamental reason is that most of the gold medal producers in Hollywood have high "market judgment" attributes. Their film creativity is far more in line with market trends than the screenwriters' creativity.
And these producers usually do n't have high "screenwriter" ability. They can only hire some temporary screenwriters to write the story. The writer team formed in a hurry, the stories written are naturally simple, wrong, and flawless. Getting worse.
Film companies all understand such disadvantages. However, the two evils have the right to be the least. Compared with the loss of money, movie word of mouth is almost okay.
This is the fundamental reason why the older generation of film critics and filmmakers are distressed and constantly criticizing.
It's not that they're headless against the special effects technology, but against the new film model under the control of capital.
However, Tang En is different. He borrowed the sunglasses system and created an unprecedented new model-"Analyst-based accountability of the screenwriter group".
Tang Encao built a royal team, but as a film company, these people are still too few. He has already thought about it. With the strength gradually increasing, Tang En film will build three core departments-market analysis department, art Analysis department, screenwriter department.
Provided by the ideas of "market judgment" Guards of the property market analysis department, and the remaining two complementary, architecture plays a commercial film, and then to the production unit project;
provided by the creative "art aesthetic" high artistic attribute analysis unit, The other two works together to build a script that can win prizes, and let the production department set up a project.
This new model restricts the power of the production department, allowing the producer to become a wage earner, integrating the power of the crew into a central concentration, avoiding disturbances, and eliminating the traditional and emerging Hollywood film models. Disadvantages.
Most importantly, how many gold medal producers in Hollywood? How much gold do they come up with?
Tang En is different. He can easily recruit dozens of talents with high "market judgment" attributes to join the market analysis department. Let these special geniuses discuss and study, so that the excellent ideas put forward by the market analysis department within one month are more than the total of one year for ordinary movie companies!
This is the biggest backing for Tang En to realize his great ambition!
Even without sunglasses, with these three departments behind, Tang En can rest assured.
...
Three days later, the script for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" tailored for Nicole Kidman was sent to her managing agent, Pat Kingsley.
Down took his assistant, George Paxton, on a plane to New York.
September 1 is Sunday, and tomorrow, the stock market will reopen.
"Tang, Yahoo's stock ... the price is too high. Last Friday's opening price was 56, and the closing price rose to 60, just in case ..." George also did not know much about finance and the stock market, and his face was sad.
Tang En smiled: "Are you afraid that Yahoo's stock suddenly fell?"
George nodded. "Since investing in the stock market, I think it is more appropriate to hire a stockbroker."
Tang En faced a cold, firm shake.
Stockbroker?
A group of big scammers who can talk, and pay at least 10% commission, it is not necessary at all.
Tang En has information on the future beyond the world. He will definitely hit the stock market!
If stockbrokers are involved, the consequences ...
Tang En shook his head. Wall Street is a group of wolves and tigers who see the money and can hide as far as they can before they have absolute strength.
He only knows about a few stocks, Yahoo, Cisco, Microsoft, Google ... why share such important information with Wall Street?
"I know it well."
Tang En didn't need to talk more about this topic. He clearly remembered that before the bubble crisis broke out, Yahoo's stock price even exceeded $ 450.
As long as you don't get too greedy, get ahead of time.
Moreover, the daily trading volume reached 50 to 60 million shares at that time. I didn't care about this small amount in Tang En's hands.
By the opening on September 2, Yahoo's stock price had dropped to 40 yuan per share. Tang En shot at the right time, grabbing 2.1 million shares at an average price of 39.9, with a total investment of more than 83 million US dollars.
Although the amount is large, the investment in technology stocks in 1997 was nothing short of that.
Tang En left the NYSE happily, but received a less happy call.
"Boss, Nicole Kidman's business is a little troublesome." Glenn Feyero, production assistant at Down, sighed. "Her agent, Pat, snapped $ 6 million in pay,"
Tang En frowned. "Is the script we wrote, did she watch it?"
Glen Fayero said: "Saw, Pat said that the script is very good, it is very suitable for Nicole Kidman, but this commercial film, she cannot Lowering the price. "
" This is difficult ... "After Tang En held his chin and invested in stocks, the total budget investment of" My Grand Greek Wedding "must not exceed 15 million US dollars.
Nicole Kidman's pay is a little bit higher.
"Yeah, she paid $ 5 million for" The Peacemaker"she participated in last year ..."
"Wait!" Tang En keenly caught, "When will that movie be released?
" "The Peacemaker" It should be the middle of this month. "
Tang En smiled." Wait a second, wait until this movie is released before talking! "
Nicole Kidman ... When did the box office hit? Commercial film?
The name of the box office poison is not stigmatizing, it is also annoying to say, her agent Pat Kingsley is really not good at filming. Being a nanny is OK, and being a broker is a bit worse.
No wonder then that the two superstars, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, have fled.
In contrast, Hilda Quilic, Kate Winslet's agent, is much better, first starring in Peter Jackson's "Sin Angel" and making her famous in Hollywood; then Lee An's "Rational and Rational "Emotion" directly won an Oscar nomination; then, the famous "Titanic"!
Another artist, Hilda Querie, Cate Blanchett, has a bright star path, not only smoothly entering Hollywood, but also recently won the first female of the historical film "Elizabeth"!
Dunn remembered that it was this film that allowed Cate Blanchett to get an Oscar nomination, and thus embarked on the road of superstars.
All Australians, Nicole Kidman's future ups and downs and Kate Blanchett's succession are really a portrayal of the agent's ability.
"If Nicole is willing to cooperate, I can push her ..."
Tang En hasn't seen Nicole Kidman yet. I don't know what the movie goddess looks like in reality.
