Chapter 104: Do You Know Golf? (4/5)
I'm still more accustomed to comedy than tragedy, and in the current movie model, a comedy can create far more revenue than tragedy!"
However, tragedy is the focus of aesthetic research, tragedy has always been more profound than comedy, Aristotle believes that tragedy is the art of art, Schopenhauer also believes that tragedy is the highest peak of art, tragedy has always been a difficult point in aesthetic research, since the beginning of Greek mythology, tragedy has been produced and has been taken on a philosophical color, King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother is the tragedy of fate that he wants to get rid of after all. ”
Zhang Junmi put down the knife and fork and disagreed with Zhang Junsheng's point of view: "In the movie, if "Titanic" did not have the tragedy of Jack and Ruth, it would not have been possible to create such a glorious classic. ”
"I admit this, but that's the exception, we look at the North American box office charts, except for "Titanic", most of them have happy endings!"
The big ship is a miracle, and an unrepeatable miracle!
The movie of 97 was only broken in 2010, of course, "ET the Extra-Terrestrial" is even more hanging, and the movie of 1982 was only broken by "Titanic" in 97...
"I still don't agree, I prefer to watch some tragedies, Shakespeare's four great tragedies!"
Zhang Junsheng kept smiling: "... Your education and background belong to 5% of the population, and the movie is considered to be 80%, and it is impossible to give up the other 80% because of the elite of 5%!"
"Is this also the reason why there have been no good movies this year recently?"
“… Yes, the living space of movies and literature is shrinking, and Hollywood is looking at money!"
"What about China? I like "Farewell My Concubine" very much..."
“… That's the pinnacle, not the beginning. Zhang Junsheng changed the subject: "How many years have you been in the United States?"
"I'm here in '05, UCLA, and I'm studying law!"
“… Wow, Xueba!"
"No, I'm just lucky..."
It's so messy, haven't you entered the entertainment industry?
"I heard you have a lot of ideas about showbiz?"
“… It's not very thoughtful, but I think it's quite interesting, and I can appreciate another person's life..."
Zhang Junmi was not embarrassed at all, and admitted it very simply.
"Well, this is probably the biggest benefit of being an actor!"
Zhang Junsheng nodded, and was about to continue chatting on this topic, it was very inappropriate, the phone rang, it was Harris calling, Chong Zhang Junmi smiled slightly, and connected the phone, Harris said, Jeffrey Katzenberg has arrived...
I really want to throw a sentence and let him wait, Lao Tzu is picking up girls.
However, Jeffrey Katzenberg is not his subordinate, and he is not obliged to wait for Zhang Junsheng...
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng continued the topic just now: "Have you ever acted?"
Zhang Junmi shook her head: "Not yet, are you in trouble?"
Since you took the initiative to bring it up, Zhang Junsheng had no choice but to get off the donkey down the slope: "... I did make an appointment. ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Junsheng asked: "I'm asking Jeffrey Katzenberg, the chairman of DreamWorks Animation, if you have nothing to do, come with me..."
"That's... Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
"How is it possible, it's a golf club, do you know golf?"
"You know, what's wrong?"
"That's great, I don't know anything about that..."
……
Golf, a sport that evokes infinite associations...
The most famous should be a ball for two villas...
Worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!
According to Professor Zhang Junmi's technique, the son of the plane put lightly, and the white ball rolled over the neatly trimmed green ground, originally less than one meter away from the hole, this time, the distance was at least two meters away...
"It's too hard..."
"It's okay, that's how it is for beginners!"
Zhang Junmi smiled and comforted.
"Just practice more. Zhang Junmi took the club, worked hard, and went into the hole!
"After practicing for a while, it's easy to get a hole-in-one at such a close distance. ”
Zhang Junsheng nodded: "I'll practice when I go back!"
Practice in a more advanced way, and after practicing the kind that has to ask the doctor to pick the ball and repair the hole...
However, can this thing be pulled out by stuffing it in?
When the light bulb goes into the mouth, you can't pick it out, golf...
"Hmm... I..."
Zhang Junmi just wanted to say, I can teach you, after thinking about it, it was not suitable, so I met for the first time and made this kind of promise...
We'll have to meet at least three times...
"Let me introduce you, this is Jeffrey Katzenberg, and this is Zhang!"
"Hello, Jeffrey...", pulled Zhang Junmi: "This is Zhang Junmi, my... Friends!"
"Hello, beautiful girl..."
……
Zhang Junmi continued to play golf with great discernment, while Zhang Junsheng walked into the club's lounge with Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harris.
Zhang Junsheng went straight to the point: "Jeffrey, are you looking for me to cooperate with Dingfeng?"
"Yes, DreamWorks Animation lacks a long-term and stable overseas distributor. ”
DreamWorks Animation changes overseas publishers almost every once in a while, why?
The attitude of the Big Six towards DreamWorks is well known to everyone in Hollywood.
Glancing at Harris, Zhang Junsheng then asked, "... How do you want to work with Summit?"
"We are responsible for the production of animated films, and Pinnacle is responsible for distribution, and the percentage is 30 percent!"
“… Thirty percent?"
Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "Universal's commission ratio is 45 percent, and the sales channel at the peak is not much worse than that of Universal, and the overseas box office of "New Moon" has reached 320 million US dollars!"
Jeffrey shook his head: "However, animated movies are not only about online distribution capabilities. ”
Yes, anime movies, the most important thing is the peripherals, that is, offline distribution...
If Jeffrey was given time and enough money, he could have built a DreamWorks theme park!
Katzenberg's vision of DreamWorks is not just an animation company, it's a global entertainment empire.
In order to diversify his industrial layout, Katzenberg has shown a keen interest in television, publishing, theme parks, shopping mall landscapes, and even children's toys, hoping that the profits in these areas can hedge against the risk of unstable box office of movies.
The idea was correct, but DreamWorks didn't have Disney's ability to offset its losses, because the latter's revenue came mainly from theme parks and cable TV, and the box office didn't affect food and clothing.
Di Baobao's encirclement and suppression of DreamWorks Anime is all-round...
"Shrek" failed to prop up DreamWorks Anime, mainly because it missed the best time to create a derivative...
After the release of "Shrek", Di Baobao launched various rights protection actions - because "Shrek" infringed copyright.
According to the regulations, during the lawsuit, "Shrek" could not develop peripherals...
In this comparison, Disney has earned a total of $5.3 billion from "Frozen" animation merchandise alone, while DreamWorks Animation earns $65 million a year from movie derivatives...
Therefore, DreamWorks' peripheral development capabilities are not very strong!
In fact, in the world, in addition to Disney, which has the most complete distribution channels, the other five major Hollywood are all very extensive direct authorization...
