Donn's expression, Brian Lord saw it in his eyes, and smiled: "It's nothing, Sony bought Columbia Pictures for $3.4 billion, and Panasonic bought Universal Pictures for $6.6 billion, which was operated by CAA." ”

Tang En took a deep breath, "So a small company like Marvel Entertainment...... It should be easy, right?"

Brian Lord's tone is plain, but he reveals unquestionable confidence, "Of course!"

Donn held his wine glass, shaking the orange-yellow liquid, "I'm looking forward to working with CAA." ”

Brian Lorde's expression finally changed subtly, and his smile became much thicker, "In view of the mistakes made by CAA this time, we are willing to serve you for free once until the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment is completed." ”

Don raised his glass high, "Thank you very much." ”

Bill McNick breathed a sigh of relief and burst out laughing, and the three of them happily clinked glasses.

The next thing is the internal decision of Donn and Brian Lorde, which is likely to be dark, dirty, and unsightly, and Bill McNick will casually find an excuse to leave.

Don was a little anxious, "Brian, what should I do next?"

Brian Lord made a downward gesture, "Donn, the main reason why Marvel Entertainment has a tough attitude now and doesn't give you a chance to negotiate at all is that they still have fantasies about Marvel's superheroes and are very optimistic about the potential of Marvel Studios." ”

Don picked his eyelids, "So...... We're going to cut off their thoughts!"

"That's right. ”

Brian Lord admires Donn's decisiveness and cleverness, and it's hard to imagine that he's just a young man under twenty years old, "Now, the whole of Marvel Entertainment has set its sights on a super movie, and that's the only big thing, and the rest, it's all the little things." ”

"Oh, which movie?" Donn seemed to understand what Brian Lord meant.

Brian Lord said, "Blade invested by New Line Pictures. ”

Don was not impressed by this movie, but he knew that "Blade" had made several sequels, which shows that the box office and reputation of this movie should be good.

At least not at a loss.

Brian Lord took out another document from his bag, which shows his care and dedication to his work, "The film has been officially established, filming will start on September 1, with a budget of about $45 million, and Marvel Entertainment's CEO Avi Arad and Chief Creative Officer Stan Lee are the producers." ”

Tang En frowned slightly, the bigwigs of Marvel Entertainment have personally served as producers, which shows their importance and hope for this movie.

Brian Loeder paused for a moment and said: "Actually, the most important thing is that they invited Hollywood's gold medal screenwriter David Goyer." As long as director Stephen Norrington doesn't mess up, the word-of-mouth of the movie should be good. ”

Don clenched his fists, "This must be stopped!"

Brian Lord laughed: "Of course, it's not difficult for me to leave this work to make some trouble for their films." ”

Don nodded, his face cold, "Since the movie is about to start, it is impossible to change the script, but it can create some difficulties in other aspects and increase their shooting costs." ”

Brian Lord waved his hand, "Okay, that's needless to say, please trust the strength of CAA." However, if you want to deal a devastating blow to this movie, it is best to prepare for both. ”

Tang En waved his hand and sneered, "Since they are so confident in "Blade", then let's fight in the ring, I will prepare a movie and fight them hard!"

This idea coincides with Brian Lorde, "I have a few film sources in my hands, or I ...... them"

"No need. Don refused, he is not a CAA artist now, there is no need to make extraneous promises, "I just founded Tang En Pictures, and it is necessary to launch the first movie." ”

Brian Lord shook his head, "It's not easy to invest......"

Don smiled and said, "I'm a sole proprietor!"

"Huh?" Brian Lord looked at him in surprise.

Invest your own money in movies? This is not Hollywood's play!

Donn saw Brian Lorde's confusion, and secretly smug in his heart: "What's the matter? The famous gold medal agent can't figure out or understand my mental routine, right?"

"Brian, I believe in my abilities as much as you believe in CAA's strength. ”

Donn's words made Brian Lord laugh dumbly, and he stood up and shook his hand, "Alright, let's split up, hopefully...... We are happy to work together. ”

"Of course, I would also like to use our sincere cooperation to put an end to the misunderstandings of the past. ”

Don En had a sharp face and sharp eyes.

……

After filming the historical memory of "Titanic" and reading and learning during this time, Don is no longer poor and white about production and directing, and the professional attributes of "Don Walker" can be clearly explored through sunglasses.

Among the five major attributes of the director, 15 are in charge of the camera, 9 are plot design, 13 are image thinking, 21 are directing, 7 are camera, and among the other sub-attributes, special effects are 3, animation is 0, color is 8, art design is 11, storyboard is 10, and dialogue is ......

Among the five major attributes of production, production 1, market judgment 52, literary aesthetics 47, project evaluation 8, screenwriting 14, sub-attributes, casting 33, field control 62, marketing 57, rhythm 3, public relations 39......

This kind of data made Tang En a little surprised, especially the "market judgment" and "literary aesthetics" in the producer's attributes, which must be the accumulation of a large number of movies he had seen in his previous life.

Don is now looking for a new project to fight in the ring with Blade, and the biggest reliance must be on the system that exists in the sunglasses.

Before preparing for the project, there must first be a royal team......

With Donne's current influence and fame, it is completely possible to form an excellent team with the help of the brokerage company. But Donn wants the team to be loyal, reliable, and capable.

The selection of talents naturally relies on the sunglasses system.

He first clicked on the "screenwriter" column, excluding dead and retired candidates, and ranked them by value, from high to low.

Don, who was wearing sunglasses, stretched out his hand and pointed in the void in front of him, looking very funny.

Soon, the selection of candidates was completed, and Don couldn't help but be shocked, there are too many screenwriters in Hollywood, right? More than 6,000 pages, more than 60,000 people?

There are a total of 7 people with a "screenwriter" value of 90 points or more, and the highest ranking is Deacon Whistler, screenwriter ability: 99!

Donn was a little hot-eyed, and he opened Deacon Whistler's file and found that he was now just a supernumerary in Hollywood, with a name in the Writers Guild, and now working as a librarian at the University of California.

And his other ability options are very poor, 0 production, 32 market analysis, and 58 literary aesthetics...... There is no possibility of being a producer at all.

In Hollywood, the number of screenwriters is so huge that most people can't even fill their stomachs, and the most fundamental reason is a shortage of skills.

If you want to get ahead in Hollywood, if you don't have connections, you must have a strong comprehensive quality, be able to direct, produce, or act, so that screenwriters can really step into Hollywood.

For the same script, the film company must choose a screenwriter with strong comprehensive ability to write it!

But Don doesn't need to.

If you have a specialization in the art industry, you can do your job well.

Because it is difficult for the film company to tell which of the two screenwriters has the stronger ability to make up stories, it will choose the one with the stronger comprehensive strength, but Don En is different, he has sunglasses and can easily tell!

Since it's a story, it's good to have strong storytelling skills, what do you need to be able to direct and produce?

This is the biggest advantage that the sunglasses system brings to Don - discover talents, discern pearls!

is like a screenwriter genius like Deacon Whistler, who is destined to be buried all his life because of his poor comprehensive ability, but he can be dug out of the dirt by Donn.

There was a pride that spread throughout Donn's body.

On the option of 95 screenwriting, Donn found another guy named "Bryce Roach", who is now working as a newspaper editor.

The next few have all made a name for themselves in Hollywood, such as Spielberg's royal screenwriter David Cape, such as Eric Ross, the screenwriter of many films such as "Forrest Gump" and "The Horse Whisperer", and even famous directors Guy Ritchie, Woody Allen, and Frank Darabont, the director of "The Shawshank Redemption".

These famous people Tang En are not ready to use them, and if he wants to build a loyal royal team, he must dig in the mud and dig in the mud.

It wasn't until the screenwriter's ability was 90 that Don found another suitable candidate - Nia Vadallas, a female screenwriter.

It's about the same as Deacon Whistler, the rest of the attributes are a mess, and he has a slight talent in acting.

Tang En plans to initially build a core team first, and then slowly grow his power when the company develops in the future, and the three screenwriter candidates are enough for the time being.

Next, Donn chose the "market judgment" in the selection of producers.

This is a very important part of the process of film project construction, that is, to analyze whether the project and script can be accepted by fans when facing the commercial market, and whether it can be a box office hit****** such as "The Shawshank Redemption", director Frank Darabont's screenwriting ability is very good, with a score of 92, but the "market judgment" ability is only 56 points, which failed to cater to the audience's taste, which directly led to the box office fiasco.

The three screenwriters selected by Tang En all have the best screenwriting ability, but the market judgment is very poor.

But it doesn't matter, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Tang En can choose a few helpers with strong "market judgment" values to put forward opinions and improve analysis.

Soon, Don found a man, Andrew O'Haire, who was weak in all values, but had a market judgment of 97, and was now a vagrant.

"If this person is willing to join my team, he can become my chief market analyst in the future. ”

Tang En snickered with satisfaction, and searched for the "literary aesthetics" column again.

Contrary to "market judgment", "literary aesthetics" is aimed at the artistic sense of the film and the audience's reputation, which is a necessary attribute for the award.

Donn has found a "Manora Daggis" person, female, literary aesthetic 98, now working as an apprentice, is studying film art with Andrew Salis, a film critic of veteran literary films, and occasionally publishes film reviews in "Village Voices", with sharp views and avant-garde profoundness.

"Talent, definitely talent! A must-have candidate for the Oscars, my chief art analyst!"

Don couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Suddenly, I felt that there was a feeling that all the world's talents had entered my door!

Joyfully!
