Chapter 12 Relationship Households
After reading John's script, Nancy felt that she had come to the right place this time, at least for now, it seems that she can sign a promising "screenwriter" for the company and get a very good movie.
"John, can you leave your film to ICM to operate," Nancy asked John tentatively.
Because she thinks that the movie "Stealing Love" is very selling, if it is handed over to a rookie director like John to operate, it will really ruin this script.
If it were handed over to ICM, and then work with a major Hollywood distribution company and hire a highly qualified director to direct it, the film would definitely be a big hit.
"Nancy, what do you mean?" John was just a rookie who had just entered Hollywood, and he naturally didn't know the twists and turns in Nancy's heart.
"John, I mean, can you sell this script to ICM and let the company do it, and you can rest assured that the company will not treat you badly. And when you write the script in the future, the company will definitely give you full support to direct! Find the best distribution company for you, and you will definitely be an instant hit. At this time, Nancy looked at John with a sincere face, and even the tone of her voice was full of sincerity.
"Oh......!"
Han has understood what Nancy means at the moment, Nancy just doesn't trust him, and wants to put aside him and find a new director to direct this "Stealing Love". But can he make a wedding dress for someone else? Obviously impossible.
"I'm sorry Nancy, I've been preparing this movie for a long time, and I'm going to use it as my debut, so I can't sell it to ICM. ”
John will definitely not agree to this kind of request, don't look at what Nancy is saying now that the company will fully support him to direct in the future and find a big distribution company for him, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is painting a big pie.
In John's previous life, he was not less drawn by the leaders of the crew, and he was tired of eating this kind of cake. He originally thought that this kind of pie painting would only happen in China, but he didn't expect Lao Mei to also like to paint pies for people. It seems that the pie policy is really popular all over the world.
"John, I think you should think about it.
I've already read your script, and ICM has a screenwriter, so I just need to go back and tell the screenwriter the outline, and within 5 days ICM will be able to come up with a script similar to the plot of your movie.
And the most important thing is that your current studio has not yet been formed, and when you have formed a studio and actually started shooting movies, I am afraid that the movies shot by ICM will have already been released.
As the saying goes, one step at a time, one step at a time, when ICM's film is released, will your film still be a success?
So John, I advise you to consider my opinion, and don't be angry, lest you run out of money. Nancy folded her hands and leaned back on the couch as she waited for John to comply. To deal with a rookie like John, who has just graduated and just entered Hollywood, she has a hand.
John, on the other hand, heard Nancy's words, and felt the urge to vomit blood, and he felt that all this in front of him was incredible.
As the big boss of ICM, he was actually cheated by his own employees, and this bloody plot will happen to him one day. This made John feel that God was the most talented screenwriter in the world, and that Oscar owed the creator a little golden man.
John looked at Nancy, who was faintly smug in front of him, and smiled, yes!
Perhaps for a director, Nancy is undoubtedly a big villain, a robber who robs others of the fruits of their labor. But John is not an ordinary director, he has another identity, the boss of ICM, for a boss, this kind of employee who puts the interests of the company first is undoubtedly the boss's favorite person.
Although Nancy's methods are a little mean, the mall is like a battlefield, and there is no such thing as a humble gentleman on the battlefield, only thirty-six strategies and Sun Tzu's art of war. Only the winner is king, and the loser is cole.
John laughed and looked at Nancy and said, "Nancy! I'm sorry to tell you that you're probably going to be disappointed." ”
In fact, when John said this, he was also secretly glad that he was the owner of ICM, otherwise he would have been cheated by Nancy today.
In Hollywood or in the entire entertainment industry, it is not uncommon to follow trends and plagiarize, and this kind of thing happened to the later "Shocking Crisis" and "The White House Has Fallen"!
Some people say that "The White House Has Fallen" followed "Shocking Crisis", and some people say that "Shocking Crisis" plagiarized "The White House Has Fallen", and as for who plagiarized whom, they can't finally argue about a conclusion, and this matter will be settled in the end.
Therefore, it is an eternal truth that wherever there are interests, there will be strife.
At this moment, Nancy looked at John with a confident look, and there were some doubts in her heart, she felt that the plot at this moment was a little different from what she imagined. If the plot developed according to the past, shouldn't John compromise with himself now and kneel and beg ICM to take him in?
"Does John have a backhand?" Nancy felt that only this explanation would make sense. But she never believed that a fresh graduate who had just graduated had an old and cunning side, when did the fresh graduate become so smart and spicy.
Although Nancy didn't believe it in her heart, John in front of her was so calm that she was a little shaken, and finally had to pull down her face and ask, "Oh! Why am I disappointed?"
"Because I have connections at ICM, you wouldn't be here, would you? John spoke slowly of his hole cards. He believed that Nancy would surrender as soon as the card was played.
"Damn! How did I forget this ......!" Nancy couldn't help but hate this relationship after hearing that John had a relationship in ICM, although she was a hundred unwilling to accept it, but she believed what John said, otherwise the company would not have sent her to sign a contract with John, a rookie.
"John, I'll admit you have some connections at ICM, but don't forget, this is Hollywood, it's Vanity Fair. Are you sure your relationship with ICM won't abandon you for fame and fortune?" Nancy is reluctant to be caught, and she fantasizes about digging up John's connections at ICM and then returning to the company to rebel.
"Haha......!"
John couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nancy's words, and he had to admit that Nancy was indeed an expert negotiator, who could turn around his unfavorable situation in an instant, and was worthy of being the man of the year who became a top Hollywood company.
Although Nancy can turn the situation around, John can also turn the situation around: "Nancy! I admit what you said, Hollywood is indeed a vanity fair, but sometimes fame and fortune are not necessarily invincible. My ICM relationship is my aunt, do you think she will give up my blood relationship with her with this little profit?"
"Damn it......" Nancy couldn't help but hate again in her heart, she knew that she couldn't snatch the contract from John's hand no matter what, because as John said, this little profit was not enough to impress John's blood family.
Laomei is a country with a particularly strong sense of family, and in the United States, many entertainment venues and tourist vacations are visited by the whole family.
And most of the film and television dramas promote this family concept, and the popular "Fast and Furious" has been promoting the American Family spirit from the first to the seventh, and the audience is also willing to accept this emotional card.
Although there are cultural differences between the two in the United States, the United States attaches great importance to family, but the inner feelings are the same.
