John signed the distribution contract for "Stealing Love" on behalf of Crown Studios with New Line Films. announced that "Stealing Love" is about to enter the theater to meet the audience.

"Director Chris Deng, please hand us over the film as soon as possible, as well as the film distribution fee and two trailers. Joanna Phillip shook hands with John and reminded him.

"I will!" John nodded, now that the contract had been signed, he would abide by it.

After Joanna Phillip left with the contract, Dani walked up to John with a document: "Boss! Joanna Phillip's information has been gathered. ”

John took the information, and he was very interested in Joanna Philip, a young buyer.

A person who has a long-term vision and can see the essence of things, a person who lives in Vanity Fair, is not tempted, and has a firm goal, will definitely not be a general.

Looking at Joanna Philip's profile, John verified his guess.

Joanna Philip, whose parents work at CNN, attended first-class schools from elementary school to high school, entered the art department of Yale University as an undergraduate, studied Yale economics across majors after graduating from undergraduate, and entered the New Line Film Company as a professional film buyer after graduation.

"She should go to Warner or Disney. It is overkill to go to the new line. John looked at the information and said to himself.

Yale is no worse than Harvard, and Joanna Phillip studied Yale's dominant subjects.

The Yale art department is the most famous, and it is joked that "Yale has produced more Oscars than Nobel", and it has sent a large number of brilliant stars and artists to the American entertainment industry, such as Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Newman, and ...... Wait.

As for the Department of Economics, that's even less to say.

"Daini, is there a mistake in the information? Joanna Phillip actually joined the Skull and Bones when she graduated this year, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't the Skull and Bones Club refuse to allow girls to join? and didn't it mean that the Skull and Bones would only select 15 members from the juniors each year?" John looked at Dani.

"I was also confused when I first saw it, and then I checked with the Skull and Bones Society, Joanna Philip did join the Skull and Bones Society this year, codenamed Hamlet Knight. Joanna Philip applied to join the Skull and Bones a few years ago, but due to constraints, she was never able to join, and it was not until this year that the Skull and Bones Club began accepting female members, and she was invited to join the Skull and Bones Club. In order to verify the authenticity, Dani specially called the Skull and Bones Society, so she was very sure.

"I see!" John nodded.

Judging from the data, Joanna Philip is indeed not an ordinary person. Being able to enter Yale on his own merits, and finally join the Skull and Bones Society, such a person is definitely extraordinary.

But this also made John a little puzzled, according to Joanna Philip's ability, it is impossible to be unknown in Hollywood, but John really never heard her name in his previous life.

In fact, John only thought of Joanna Philip's potential, and ignored that people have good and bad luck, and a person's potential is great, and if he dies halfway, he can only be doomed to obscurity.

Joanna Philip was in a plane crash on a flight to Santo Domingue in 2001 before she rose to prominence, so it was impossible for John to have heard her name.

Tell the "Hollywood Eye" to keep an eye on Joanna Phillip's movements. After reading the information, John wanted to take this top Yale student for his own use, but he still needed to examine it before that.

As a manager, he doesn't need to be like Zhang Liang to strategize and win thousands of miles away, nor does he need to command a million troops like Han Xin, he needs to be like Liu Bang, discover talents, reuse talents, and let everyone's knowledge and wisdom be used by me.

After Joanna Phillip's affair was over, John began to deal with the release of the film.

The first thing was to advance $5 million from ICM to New Line Pictures as a distribution fund for the film. Generally, according to Hollywood's distribution rules, the distribution company will advance the distribution funds first, and when the film is released, it will cut off this part of the cost from the movie box office, but John is a newcomer, and in order to reduce the risk, he can only pay this part of the cost in advance.

And $5 million was enough to distribute a movie at the end of the 90s, and a commercial blockbuster like "Jurassic Park" only invested 10 million in distribution funds.

The second thing is to edit two trailers to New Line Films, which will be placed as TV commercials, and this matter will be done by the editor, and John does not need to do it.

After these two things were over, John took Nancy to New Line Film Company with the handover of "Stealing Love".

"It's a pleasure to work with! After the official handover, Joanna Phillip picked up her glass and touched John.

This handover was attended only by some staff members of both sides, and because of John's rookie status, Shay did not appear, but only assigned a deputy general representative of the company. And the vice president only had a token drink with John, and then left in a hurry, leaving Joanna Phillip to entertain John.

John doesn't have any emotions about this, because this world is so realistic, if you want to get the attention of others, you must first have the strength to make others look sideways.

"Miss Philip, I wonder how New Line will release "Stealing Love"?" is a question that John takes very seriously, because the way it is released will directly affect the box office of the movie.

Although the new line film company is not bad, compared with the top film companies, his distribution channels are still weaker.

Joanna Philip put down her glass. Although you paid the distribution funds in advance, we will still take a conservative approach to the release of "Stealing Love", so that if you ......"

"I mean, if ......" Joanna Phillip was afraid that John would misunderstand, and emphasized at this time, "if the market performance of "Stealing Love" is not good, we can stop investing immediately and minimize your losses. ”

"Thank you! "The New Line Film Company is doing this, it is completely to win over John, and John will naturally not refuse the olive branch extended by the New Line.

"No thanks, cooperation is all about win-win, isn't it?" Joanna Philip took a sip of her glass and continued, "We are going to carry out screenings in ten cities, and according to the results of screenings, we are arranging to increase the number of theaters." In this way, we can adjust the publicity method in a timely manner according to the market reaction, and we can also save the investment of issuance funds, which can reduce the risk for you. ”

"You have a good arrangement!" John touched Joanna Phillip with his glass.

He has no opinion on the arrangement of the new line, although the performance of "Stealing Love" in the previous life was good, but now that the director has changed, and some plots have been added or subtracted, John also has a trace of apprehension in his heart, so conservative release is the best.
