After discussing it for a whole afternoon, I finally came up with a complete plan.

This plan, which is divided into five parts, was named by Donn: The Slap Project.

There is not only the meaning of step-by-step and five-part coordination, but also the expectation of Kirk Douglas in the face.

First, CAA Vice President Jack Ripck is in charge, who is responsible for banqueting the judges of the Oscar Best Actress selection panel and dredge up relationships;

second, CAA COO Rick Nisita, who is responsible for bridging the relationship between the academy and the Oscars organizing committee to build momentum for Natalie;

third, Brian Lord and Don are jointly responsible for saving the unfavorable image of Hollywood filmmakers towards Don in this turmoil, winning the support of more people and forming a public opinion advantage;

Fourth, CAA's CEO, Kevin Hovein, is in charge of coordinating the relationship between Down Pictures and the Golden Globes, at least superficially, to ease the pressure on the Oscars;

Fifth, Lee Gaeber, chairman of the board of directors of CAA, will personally be in charge, and he will bring a copy of "Juno" to the White House for a screening for President Bush, and through the relationship at the top, go straight to the Oscars!

They are both owners of CAA, and they can be regarded as Natalie's agents, and since they have chosen to bet on Done, they will definitely spare no effort.

Michael Ovitz, as Donne's business partner and New Year's friend, also volunteered to help.

He will use his connections with Legendary Pictures and his strong connections in the industry to unite with Hollywood studios to put pressure on Natalie to be nominated for the Oscars.

It's just that Donn doesn't think it's likely that he'll succeed.

Generally speaking, the cost of dredging, dotting, and marketing for an Oscar nomination for Best Picture is about $3 million, the Best Actor nomination is between $3 million and $4 million, and the Best Actress nomination is generally not higher than $2 million.

But for Natalie, Don directly sold $5 million!

Coupled with CAA's connections.

No matter how much Kirk Douglas has an influence on the Oscars, with the full help of CAA, Natalie's nomination is basically a certainty.

Everyone's responsibilities have been completed, everyone is busy, and work immediately.

Donn invited Brian Lord to a small café nearby.

The two are going to discuss how to salvage the reputation of Down Pictures.

This problem must be solved, otherwise even if Natalie is nominated for an Oscar, Don will not gain much prestige.

It stinks the Golden Globe Awards, which is not in the interests of many filmmakers.

"Hollywood needs an authoritative award like the Golden Globes to make up for the Oscars. Brian Lord got to the point as soon as he spoke.

Don reached out for two cups of coffee and looked at him with a smile, "Or...... Let's work together to create a film award to replace the Golden Globes?"

Brian Lord laughed: "You run a film company, I run a brokerage company, let's make a film award, do you think it has credibility?"

Tang Enzheng said: "In terms of credibility...... I don't think it's a problem, as long as we are open and transparent enough in the selection mechanism and cooperate with some authoritative statistical companies, we can ensure it. And we have a rich network of stars, and we are not afraid of the lack of popularity of our film festival. ”

Brian Lord shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, the Golden Globe Awards have been developed for more than 20 years before they are slowly accepted by the mainstream, a new film festival...... It's hard to make an impact in a short period of time. ”

Don En was a little angry, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say? You can't let the filmmakers in the industry complain about me, right?"

Brian Lord jokingly said: "What are you afraid of resentment? They still dare to show you a look? If you want to eat the bowl of movies, you can't avoid your Donne Walker's industry radiation." ”

Tang En waved his hand impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I care about those low-level filmmakers? They are just a group of ants, can they interfere with my decision? What I care about is the attitude of the major Hollywood studios! The Golden Globe Awards represent exposure, which is a wave of free publicity for many literary films and a motive to attract the audience to buy tickets and enter. Without the Golden Globes, it means that these film companies have no source of income!"

To be honest, Kirk Douglas is a person, Don has never taken it seriously.

The Oscar is an award and a career, which requires business income!

Whether it's favor or face, it's not important to have interests.

If the Golden Globes knew in advance that Don would be aggressive about Natalie's nomination and openly bombarded it, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association would have cooperated with Kirk Douglas if their brains were in water.

It must be obediently pandering to Donne.

Kirk Douglas's role is far less than rumored to be!

In the operation of Natalie's Oscar nomination, the reason why Don will stir up the crowd is mainly because he is worried that major film companies will stumble him behind his back.

Don't look at Don't look at Don and the executives of many film companies have a good relationship, but these business elites are playing a trick in front of them and behind their backs.

Maintaining the honor of the Golden Globe Awards is more in line with the interests of major film companies.

Don fears that they will obstruct Natalie's Oscar nomination for their own benefit.

And not that old guy Kirk Douglas hiding behind the scenes!

Brian Lord restrained his smile and looked solemn, "The film festival is about ...... We need to think long-term and discuss it well. It's not time yet, maybe the Golden Globes will compromise when they see our strength? As for the views of our peers...... It's actually quite simple. ”

"Huh?"

"Of course, it's up to you to give it or not. ”

Tang En said coldly: "Pay, you don't want me to send money to other major film companies to make up for the financial loss of smearing the Golden Globe Awards, right?"

Brian Lord said: "Of course it's impossible to send money, but ...... Just as you came up with a 'platter investment' plan when you escaped the encirclement of the Big Six before, you can come up with a new concept that is more in line with Hollywood. It just conforms to the theme of Donn Pictures' 'New Order, New Model, New Power, New Hollywood'. ”

Tang En said angrily: "Do you think I am God? Platter investment is already a genius idea, I don't have any new ideas." ”

"No, you have! you must have!" said Brian Lord categorically.

"Huh?"

Don was a little confused.

Brian Lord lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and said slowly: "Back then, Barry Diller proposed the concept of 'high-concept' films, and cooperated with Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg to save Paramount from the brink of bankruptcy, and in just a few years, Paramount became the best film company in Hollywood." ”

Later, when Disney faced bankruptcy, it invited two creative pioneers, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, to take the helm of Disney. Michael Eisner extended Barry Diller's theory to 'first and second base', based on high concepts and strict control of budget costs. ”

"Under this kind of thinking, Michael Eisner almost created a film formula, in the first 5 years after taking over Disney, he shot 33 films, 29 of which were profitable, and the performance was amazing, reversing Disney's frequent bankruptcy in one fell swoop, and was once known as a genius analyst of movies in the industry!"

"But in recent years, it's clear that this formula is no longer working. Although Michael Eisner has also followed the trend and released a few big-budget 'event' movies, as you can see, it was very bad. It can be said that the film theories of Diller and Eisner are outdated, and Hollywood needs a new film formula. ”

Don thought thoughtfully, "So you think...... I also have my own set of cinematic formulas?"

Brian Lord laughed: "Of course, every movie you have invested in has made a profit so far, and even the dull "Soul Shifter" can reach $100 million at the global box office, which is simply amazing!"

Tang En smiled modestly, "That's all luck." ”

"Luck?" Brian Lord pouted, "In that case, you'd better go and coax the kids." Films produced by Down Pictures...... Especially commercial films, the box office is so amazing that even I am red! You must have a special set of theories, or a movie formula that works. If it can be made public, I believe that no matter how big the problem is, it can be solved. ”

Donne's eyes widened, "You mean...... Let me tell you about the idea of making a movie?"

"If you want, the major movie giants must regard you as a benefactor! This contribution to Hollywood is even greater than the 'platter investment'. Of course, it's up to you. ”

Brian Lorde, as an agent, certainly wants Don to disclose his "secret recipe".

The more good movies there are, the more excellent artists will be launched.

In recent years, with the super hot sales of commercial blockbusters such as "Jurassic Park", "Titanic", "Independence Day", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace", and "Spider-Man", more and more film studios have set their sights on big-budget commercial movies.

Although the investment is large and the risk is high, a successful movie of this level is enough for a big studio to eat and drink for a year!

Between May 2000 and May 2001, "Spider-Man" generated more than 90% of the total revenue of Down Pictures!

It's a pity, though.

Commercial Blockbuster ...... Not everyone can play around.

Even Warner's "Batman 3" hit the streets, and "Future Waterworld" made top superstar Kevin Costner fall directly back to the third line.

Many filmmakers and film companies are confused about the production of commercial blockbusters.

How can we make the special effects and the movie perfectly integrated to attract more fans?

Except for Towne Pictures, almost every film company has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in tuition.

But I still haven't learned it!

Don pondered for a long time.

Brian Lord looked at him expectantly, "How's it going?"

Don muttered to himself, "It's not that you can't ......" ()
