Chapter 851: High-Level Meeting

MPAA meetings, Don has never attended.

In previous years, it was because he was not at the level enough.

In the past few years, it is because his level is too high.

This time, though, he had to attend.

The last time Hollywood giants met at the MPAA, it was more than 20 years to push forward.

At that time, President Reagan came to power, and in order to win the color revolution and defeat the Soviet Union in the Cold War, President Reagan adopted two big strategies around Hollywood.

First, the "Star Wars" program.

That's right, this inspiration came from George Lucas's movie "Star Wars". With the Soviet Union's military power in full swing, President Reagan came up with the creativity of a Hollywood artist and proposed the "Star Wars" strategy.

Since then, the Cold War has shifted from an arms race to a space race, further economically defeating the Soviet Union.

Second, there is cultural invasion.

President Reagan was a Hollywood actor, and he had a lot of love for Hollywood. When he came to power, Hollywood encountered an unprecedented crisis, including MGM, United States, Raiden Hua and other major studios have gone bankrupt, Paramount, Disney, and Columbia Pictures have also encountered crises one after another.

In order to restore the glory of Hollywood, President Reagan launched a series of support programs for Hollywood, which greatly helped Hollywood in terms of taxation, policy, national defense, and culture.

Since then, Hollywood has really embarked on the road of industrialization, and the gap between Hollywood films and Soviet films and European films has completely widened.

Hollywood movies began to conquer the world.

The cultural values of the United States have also spread to every corner of the world with Hollywood movies.

In Hollywood movies of the past few decades, the villain must be Russian. Hollywood movies have made a deep impression on people all over the world - the Soviet Union is an evil empire.

This has played a crucial role in winning the Cold War.

Of all the presidential rankings in American history, the most beloved by the American people is Reagan.

Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later...... The MPAA held another meeting of such a heavy weight, and even higher!

The last meeting was just a gathering of the bosses of major film companies to map out the value judgments and humanistic tendencies of Hollywood in the future.

This time, it's not just the studio.

And the media empire behind the studio!

"This time, if it can be so big, the contact person behind it must be a lot of money. "Regardless of the others, Michael Ovitz will certainly stand firmly on Donne's side.

He made a special trip to Donn's office to discuss the matter.

The meeting will be held tomorrow at 9 a.m.

Tang En nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, it is possible to gather so many heads and brains together...... It must be a big guy with a lot of status in the industry. ”

The list on the invitation alone includes Summer, Ted, Turner, Don Walker, Michael Eisner, Michael Ovitz, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, Tom Rothman, Michael Ovitz, Howard Stringer, Barry Meyer, Brad Gray, Barry Diller, Roy Disney, Michael Douglas, Paul Newman, ......

Every name is a well-known figure in the industry!

The last time such a high-level meeting made Hollywood quickly crush European movies and become the real top of the world!

Before that, European films, Soviet films, Hollywood films...... The difference between them is actually not that big.

But since then, the gap has widened.

This meeting may also set the development pattern of Hollywood in the future.

Of course, the focus of the problem must be Donn.

Harvey Weinstein's case, he had to give an account.

Michael Ovitz introduced Donn as a year-old friend, whether it was the second spring of his career, Legendary Pictures, or the second spring of love, Kate Beckinsale, all through Donn's "introduction".

In front of Tang En, he knew everything, frowned and said, "On the guest list...... In my opinion, if it weren't for Old Man Valentine's mastermind, there would be no more than three people who have the ability to do it. ”

Valenty's old man is Jack Valenty, who is the chairman and CEO of the MPAA, and has been at the helm of the MPAA for 38 years.

He has witnessed Hollywood's journey from the bottom to the top.

Donn shook his head and said, "No, the White House...... Opinions on him are great. The matter of "Fahrenheit 911", he has a weak heart, which already shows that he is too old. Look, if nothing else, in a few months, the chairman of the MPAA should be replaced. ”

Michael Ovitz bowed his head and said, "Well, it's actually the communication channel between Hollywood and Washington/Sannuton, and he can't escape the blame for this summer's turmoil." ”

Tang En waved his hand and said with some amusement: "This kind of thing, do you still need to study it? What can be figured out with a pat on the thigh, besides Lei Shidong, who else can it be? The fiasco of "King Arthur" completely destroyed his revival Paramount plan. ”

Michael Ovitz also laughed: "I can't say that, isn't there another movie at the end of July? called "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snich." It was a real star-studded film, including Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Billy Connolly, and Jude Law. ”

"Paramount?"

The corners of Donn's mouth curled up with a hint of mockery.

Seriously, in response to Viacom and Paramount's blows, Donn has often taken advantage of the trend.

Follow the general trend of history.

In the previous life, Marvel Studios' first partner was Paramount.

The first "Iron Man" was produced, and there was even a bed scene.

Paramount's folks are just too stupid, though.

They would rather spend $3.5 billion on DreamWorks than $4 billion on Marvel Studios.

As a result, a great opportunity was given to Disney.

Then, in Marvel's superhero movies, there are no more out-of-the-ordinary shots......

In fact, Marvel's comics are still very yellow and violent.

It's very different from the childlike style of the movie.

In fact, it would be okay to miss Marvel Studios, but Paramount's next development strategy is to manage movies in a financial way, and not pay attention to brand management at all.

From Transformers, to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to Special Forces...... Under Paramount, you can basically see a layer of unchanged routines.

There is no long-term plan, it is all about making money.

Michael Bay's "Transformers" series is a repetition of one by one, after several films, the Decepticons are about to die, and the Emperor of the Universe is about to appear, how can there be any planning?

You must know that "Transformers" has a Cybertron chronicle, and the historical entanglement between the two factions is very clear.

This is much easier to adapt than Marvel Comics with various parallel universes and chaotic settings that reset the universe.

As a result, Shengsheng is messed up by Paramount and Michael Bay.

At this time, Ira Fisher walked over and whispered to Donne, "Mr. Eisner's phone number." ”

"Oh?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows, his mind moving slightly.
