In a flash, it was September.

During this time, a lot has happened in the United States.

The first is politics, where presidential candidates from both parties have embarked on a state speaking tour. Without the negative press distraction of Fahrenheit 911, President George W. Bush's call for re-election is very high. In particular, he expressed his confidence in revitalizing the U.S. economy in the next term through South Korea's concession on the TO free trade agreement.

However, the MPAA and the Korean Revitalization Council have not been able to continue Jack Valenty's political life, and he has officially left the chairmanship of the MPAA.

...... to succeed him It's President George W. Bush's direct officer, Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman!

The United States is the world's largest agricultural country, and the power of the Minister of Agriculture is huge.

President George W. Bush will put the Secretary of Agriculture in the position of chairman of the MPAA, which shows how much he values Hollywood!

However, the MPAA substitution is not the most sensational thing in the entertainment industry.

Viacom's disintegration and Paramount's disintegration are the first big news!

As previously obtained by Donne, CBS Group spun off from Viacom Group, taking Paramount's TV production department and all TV content rights with it.

Paramount's label name and film production department are still affiliated with Viacom.

At that time, it shocked Hollywood, and even caused the fear of the highest level, and Paramount Pictures, which was restricted by the "Paramount Monopoly Act", was declared to collapse!

It's a MGM-esque point of no return.

It's not just Viacom that's splitting, it's DreamWorks!

This summer, DreamWorks' animated film "Shrek 2" took the world by storm, grossing more than $920 million worldwide, second only to the super commercial blockbuster "Pirate League 2: Gathering Souls".

However, DreamWorks' live-action movies are too watery.

This year, DreamWorks has released five live-action films, including "Date with Idols," "European Sex Trip," "The Ultimate Target," "Happiness Terminal," and "Ace Announcer."

The first three lost money, and although the last two made money, they did not meet expectations.

Especially Spielberg's "Happiness Terminal" directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones, seems to be silent in the summer commercial blockbusters.

Without the past decade at all, Spielberg's films were bound to be a sensation in the United States as soon as they were released.

In the film industry, there seems to be a discourse that Spielberg is outdated.

Spielberg, of course, was not convinced, he was gathering people, and even found action superstar Tom Cruise, and they joined forces to make a heavyweight sci-fi action blockbuster "War of the Worlds"!

He's also going to be a $1 billion box office director!

He's going to save his reputation with it!

However, the separation of DreamWorks has become imperative.

DreamWorks' animation department is getting better and better, but live-action movies are difficult to improve, which leads to the animation department being very dissatisfied and not wanting to carry the burden anymore.

Jeffrey Katzenberg is the chairman and CEO of DreamWorks, he has been in business for ten years, leading DreamWorks to survive in the cracks, and he has long lost the sharpness of the year and the dream of an entertainment empire...... Shattered.

It's just a matter of splitting it up.

The live-action film department and the animation department are separated!

The animation department is headed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, and the live-action film department is headed by Spielberg.

Because the performance of the animation department is better, the label of "Dream Factory" belongs to the animation department. However, the label name can be rented to a live-action film department for free and indefinitely.

Since then, two dream factories have emerged in Hollywood.

One is the DreamWorks Animation Department, and the other is the titular DreamWorks.

In addition, the shock of the sports world is not small.

The Gymnastics Association is filing for bankruptcy.

In the Athens Olympics, every time an athlete wins an award, when interviewed by media reporters, Donn Walker's name will be on the list of thanks.

Probably due to restrictions imposed by sports associations, they did not explain why. But everyone actually understands in their hearts that Don En exposed the sexual assault scandal in the gymnastics industry, which is to open the fig leaf of the sports world.

The sports world, especially some non-market-oriented niche circles, is full of scandals.

Much uglier than Hollywood.

Don's charity may not completely improve this situation, but at least it can give the young athletes a better training environment, which greatly increases the cost of breaking the law for many people.

At this time, Tang En was still filming.

After moving to New York, Atlanta, and Cleveland, the crew finally returned to Los Angeles.

The live-action filming part of "The Avengers" is about to come to an end.

Aim to finish it by September 20th.

The movie "The Departed" starring Don will be released on September 25.

As a core actor, Don En is not too trusty, and it is necessary to participate in some pre-publicity to build momentum for the movie.

Including Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Mark Wahlberg and others, they all have to actively participate in the early publicity.

Donn, the chief producer and investor, does not appear, and his face is not good-looking.

……

"Flying Car Play...... Is it really necessary?" said Teemo Bekmandbetov, skeptical about the next shooting plan.

The next scene is not the soaring sky of "Iron Man", not the swing of "Spider-Man", not the bright muscles of "Hulk", not the power of thunder and lightning of "Thor"...... It's a drag racing scene between "Ant-Man" and "The Wasp".

The premise in the movie is: at the last moment, the streets of New York are in chaos, and "Ant-Man" and "Wasp" actively participate in the war, so there is a flying car show, which will also have violent scenes of explosions.

In Timo Bekmantov's opinion, "The Avengers" is an imaginative science fiction movie, and the elements in the film are very innovative.

In comparison, the flying car scene ...... It's too old-fashioned.

It's not as interesting as the process of "Ant-Man" and "Wasp" getting bigger and smaller.

Nina Jacobson glanced at him, smiled and said, "This is Hollywood! Even Don has to pay attention to the taste of the market." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Every year, Hollywood conducts a lot of market research to evaluate and judge the tastes of movie fans. Then, according to their tastes, adjust the style of making the film. One statistic that's been very important for the past few years is that teenage excitement about speeding has been at the top of the list of commercial elements, even more so than the big stars of the $20 million club. ”

"Huh, huh?"

Timo Beckmanbetov was stunned for a moment.

I feel like I've learned a lot again.

In the past, when he made movies, he made his own movies completely. He is confident that there will be no shortage of fans to pay for excellent movies.

When he arrived in Hollywood, he realized that his film philosophy was completely reversed.

A movie that can make fans pay is a good movie.

In this case, it is natural to shoot content that is more appealing to fans.

That's the essence of Hollywood popcorn movies.

Nina Jacobson explained: "A commercial blockbuster, especially an action movie, if you don't arrange a few minutes of car chase, it is difficult to whet the appetite of young audiences, who are the most important consumer power in the film market." Don't talk about "The Avengers", you look at "Star Wars Prequel", don't you also have drag racing scenes?"

"But why are you here?"

Timo Beckmanbetov looked at his surroundings in confusion, nodded, and shook his head again.

It's close to the Gold Coast and has some of the best ocean views in Los Angeles.

However, this is completely inconsistent with the setting of the movie.

The speeding scene in the movie asks for the chaotic scenes on the streets of New York, and here's ...... It's too lonely, isn't it?

Nina Jacobson pointed to the front right, "See that tower?"

"Hmm. ”

In the distance, there are large woods to obscure it, but the towering outcropping spire is still very distinct, a bit like the navigation lights on the shore here.

"That's Donn's home, King's Landing One. ”

"Huh?"

Timo Bekmmanbetov was stunned again and continued to be confused.

Nina Jacobson explains with a smile: "Filming road scenes, especially those involving crashes and road breaks, is very cumbersome and has a lot of extra costs. It is necessary to apply to the local government, to have application funds, to have traffic control funds, to have road maintenance fees, to have subsidies for the police to maintain order, and to have damage costs that interfere with the lives of residents. All kinds of external expenses are higher than the cost of shooting!"

Timo Beckmanbetov suddenly realized: "No wonder the flying car scenes in American movies and TV series are mostly filmed in deserts, wilderness, ports, abandoned industrial areas and other places, this is the reason!"

Not in Russia.

Cinema is the emperor.

The government, government agencies, and ordinary people must all make way!

Nina Jacobson said: "yes, even if this scene was filmed on the streets of Cleveland, it would cost an extra $5 million, which is too wasteful. Rather than this, it is better to take the reality of the synthesis. ”

It's empty, but it's okay.

It's good to catch the main shot of the flying car.

As for those high-rise buildings and busy New York traffic, you can wait until next year's green screen cutouts and post-compositing.

"This road is newly built, isn't it? This specification is better than the highway. Don't you need to apply to the government to film here......?

Timo Bekmandbetov immediately had the next doubt.

Nina Jacobson smiled and pointed in the direction of the spire in the distance, "Didn't I tell you, this is Donn's home." ”

"Is the two related?"

"Why is it okay?"

"What's the relationship?"

"Before, it was just an empty piece of land, and there weren't even roads. This 10-kilometer-long highway was built by Don at his own expense for the convenience of his home. ”

"What? He built a highway?"

Timo Bekmmanbetov's eyes widened suddenly, he rolled his eyes, and he almost fainted.

How much does it cost?

Sure enough, he is the richest man in the world!

Ostentatious!

Nina Jacobson gave him a strange look, "This is normal, the American highway...... A large part of it is built by individuals, and the government is not obligated to help the wealthy who prefer to live in the suburbs. Besides, how much can it cost to build roads? When Warner was filming "The Matrix", in order to film a fight scene on the highway, it also built a 2-kilometer highway, and then donated it to the government. ”

Timo Beckmanbetov twitched the corners of his mouth, and he felt a new understanding of Hollywood.
