Chapter 302: Interview with Vanity Fair (2/6)
Except for Uber and Facebook, Zhang Junsheng's investments in the United States are purely for making money, and other projects are centered around the media industry chain.
By the way, Uber's shares, Zhang's father is very interested, he also wants to follow Uber's example of a taxi software, Zhang Junsheng can't play it, he doesn't have accurate map software in his hands, and he can't afford to burn money...
Didi Chuxing, 18 rounds of financing, the estimated market value of the listing exceeded 100 billion US dollars...
It's all burned!
The rise of instant burning after reading has been on par with Netflix, and Netflix is also working hard to create a self-made drama, hoping to compete for the market with instant burning after reading.
Burning after reading with the back to the top is equivalent to directly contacting Hollywood, Netflix is different, they don't have a mature project in hand...
It can be said that in the next two years, once the gap between the reading and the streaming media such as Netflix is opened, it will be completely outstanding...
Of course, the competitive battle for streaming hasn't started yet.
Most media companies are still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
"I'd rather work with Disney or News Corp, so you can ask Disney for their opinion and say we can make a Marvel series..."
"That's... How many shares?"
"Twenty percent, that's my bottom line!"
ββ¦ OKοΌβ
"If there is any unpredictable project, don't rush to veto, call me ... I'll go first!"
Looking at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Junsheng was on the plane at four o'clock in the afternoon...
Catherine, who had not spoken, was anxious: "Where are you going?"
"Back to China, the Oscars are over, and I have to go back to prepare for a new project. β
"What about the interview with Vanity Fair?"
ββ¦ I'll go right away!"
Speechless, I almost forgot about it...
β¦β¦
Vanity Fair's top three magazines in the United States.
It belongs to the top media magazines.
Of course, the most powerful thing about "Vanity Fair" is its appeal, the party they hold is on Oscar night, and every year after the Oscars, the big stars and many winners will rush over as soon as possible, so there is often an embarrassment that the protagonist at the film company's celebration banquet never appears...
In fact, Oscars and parties have formed an industrial chain...
This also includes a lot of charity parties.
In fact, many celebrity foundations in the United States do not publish bills to the public, the most typical of which is Leonardo DiCaprio.
After becoming a Hollywood superstar, Leonardo DiCaprio would hold a charity auction dinner at international cities such as Los Angeles or New York at the beginning of each year, and in addition to the guests he invited, he also sold tickets, each ticket cost more than $10,000, and the money was then donated in the name of charity.
As for whether it was really donated, no one knows, after all, the accounts of several charitable funds under Leonardo DiCaprio's name have never been made public.
In the United States, charity is tax-avoidable!
So, Mark Zuckerberg 'donates', but can take hundreds of millions of dollars a year from charitable foundations for his own expenses...
Uh, that's a long way off...
Back to Vanity Fair.
Since the year before last, "Vanity Fair" has always wanted to give Zhang Junsheng an interview.
"Vulgar" swept the United States, last year, Wanda acquired AMC Cinemas, Hollywood exclaimed that Chinese capital entered Hollywood...
Pinnacle has been ranked among the top three at the annual box office in North America.
Zhang Junsheng has become the idol of many young Americans.
β¦β¦
Zhang Junsheng, who changed into a black suit and wore black-rimmed glasses, sat in the summit office.
The three cameras are set up separately and facing the middle.
The interview with "Vanity Fair" is of a very high standard, and the editorial department has confirmed that the cover character of this issue will be Zhang Junsheng...
"Zhang, what do you think of Hollywood today?"
The person in charge of the interview was a 1.75-meter-tall Yanma with long legs and a very decent uniform.
ββ¦ This topic is too big," Zhang Junsheng frowned slightly: "And I'm not to the point of pointing fingers at the whole Hollywood." β
"But a lot of people think that you represent the new generation of directors. β
ββ¦ I guess that's a bunch of people who are tired of special effects blockbusters. Some time ago, Stephen told me that he was a little desperate, and I asked him why, and he said that the top 10 box office players were all sequels or superhero blockbusters, which showed that Hollywood's original ability had declined..."
"What about you? Don't you like special effects blockbusters?"
picked up the teacup and took a sip: "No, I like it very much, in fact, the mainstream movies that audiences all over the world see are actually relatively naΓ―ve, and the philosophical part is almost over, you must know that the movie is only about two hours, you must make the audience not distracted, you have to make them concentrated!"
added: "But the investment in special effects films is very large, and no one dares to smash a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, in case it fails, it will affect morale very much!"
"But you invested in Inception..."
"That's because I love the story, and I believe in Director Nolan, he's the kind of director who can tell a very mysterious story in a natural way. β
The Yanmar interviewee changed the subject: "Who are you talking about when you say 'what are the competitors who are trying to discredit us' at the Oscars?"
"Who else? Harvey Weinstein!" by the way, adding: "The whole world knows what kind of person Harvey is, and why is he still the most powerful man in Hollywood?"
ββ¦β
ββ¦ I've heard about Harvey in China, and a lot of people say he has no bottom line. Could it be because he is so strong that people are afraid? Or are women a vulnerable group? So, in the face of oppression, coercion and even aggression by powerful people, they can only choose to remain silent?"
"Zhang, let me remind you that this kind of remark has constituted slander!"
Zhang Junsheng waved his hand indifferently: "Haha, do you want evidence?"
Yanma's eyes lit up: "You have evidence?"
"Hehe... Let's change the subject!"
Catherine, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but curse secretly...
Gotta pay for it again...
Yanmar sighed in disappointment and changed the subject: "I heard that "Vulgar" failed to be released in China, is it because of censorship?"
ββ¦ This is really not, when I was filming, I didn't think about releasing it in the mainland. β
"Why haven't you thought about it?"
"The scale is too big..."
Yanmar made the final decision: "That's still because of censorship!"
ββ¦ Why do you have to say censorship?"
"Because China's censorship system has shackled the development of film art... A lot of good filmmakers can't make it to China yet..."
Zhang Junsheng was a little annoyed: "Do you have any new questions? Why is it that when it comes to Chinese films, censorship, quotas, and the like, is Hollywood's creation completely free?"
