In early 2002, Donn gave a famous speech at USC, which was called "the speech of the century for film change" by the Hollywood industry.

In this speech, Donn introduced his commercial film concept to the world - put eggs in a cage and implement a blockbuster strategy!

Subsequently, Donn's theoretical book "Explosive Strategy" was officially released, which elaborated in more detail his explanation of the explosive effect, that is, the Matthew effect, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and the winner takes all!

In the past two years, there have been many critical voices in the theoretical community, the most famous of which is the "long tail effect", which is completely opposed to the "explosive effect".

However, the market is the only criterion by which the theory is tested.

Hollywood's commercial blockbusters have increased dramatically this year!

The summer stalls are crowded, and the Christmas stalls are also crowded.

In this case, many blockbuster films have to adjust their schedules one after another to avoid excessive conflicts.

For example, in October.

In the past few years, it was definitely an off-season for movies, but this year, it's different.

"Mystic River", "The Legend of the Bear", and "Ant-Man" appeared three films that made fans focus on them.

It is conceivable that with the gradual deepening and promotion of the theory of explosive models, there will only be more and more commercial blockbusters in Hollywood, and they will be distributed in every month of the year.

There is no doubt that fans are the biggest beneficiaries.

In the past, commercial blockbusters that could only be enjoyed in the summer season are likely to be seen in January, February, and March because of Done.

Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River" was officially released on October 15.

The old cowboy's movie has no possibility of losing money.

With his fame, even if he completely abandons the box office market, he can earn back his investment through the two major channels of discs and television.

"Mystic River" is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece with an excellent reputation, and the performances of actor Sean Penn and supporting actor Tim Robbins can be called a classic.

With the success of this film, Eastwood will be ready to boldly plan for the next film - "Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letters".

The two films will start filming one after another, first in the United States and then in Japan.

Filming locations were mainly taken in places such as Iceland, Greenland, and Canada, and Iwo Jima in Japan...... It is a military restricted area, and Eastwood will only bring a filming team to shoot a panoramic shot of Iwo Jima here, and edit it in post.

Don hasn't been to Japan for a long time, and his heart is itching.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong, the president of the Burning Office, has repeatedly invited him and looked forward to Tang En's visit. also said that he found more than a dozen good star seedlings and asked Don to help appreciate them.

It's hard to be gracious, and Tang En really has no choice but to give him a face.

Those who can work harder!

Last time, Don helped him appreciate it once.

It's a pity that last time Zhou Fang Yuxiong didn't understand Tang En's habits, although he found a group of the most outstanding young female artists in Japan at the moment, and the result was ...... Only Aoi Yu caught Don's eye and thought that she had a chance to become a big star who became popular all over Japan.

This time it was different, Zhou Fang Yuxiong said, the average age of the seedlings this time was three years younger than the last time, and they all met the standard.

"Ahem, old cowboy, when you get to Tokyo, I will arrange for someone to take you to Iwo Jima for filming, and I won't go there myself. No way, work is too busy. ”

In Donn's private jet, he spoke solemnly to Eastwood.

Seeing the camera team of more than 20 people on the plane, he was not in a good mood, and he had a feeling that the private jet had been ruined.

He has already thought about buying a large plane from Boeing in the name of New Globe Group for business development.

Eastwood suddenly said, "Donne, are you interested in politics?"

"Huh?"

Don was stunned.

Eastwood said excitedly: "Your resources are very good, your fame is big enough, your influence is strong enough, this is the biggest advantage of politics." Arnold is running for governor, and I'm part of the campaign. If you want, I can help you make peace, and when you win the election, start with the California legislature. ”

Don En couldn't cry or laugh, "Old man, how old are you? I don't want to retire, just stick to making movies, after all, movies are your life." But in politics...... There's no need, right?"

Eastwood said solemnly: "It's because I love movies that I want to go into politics." Don't you think that the current California government is too harsh on Hollywood? Hollywood is the window of the United States and the center of cultural exchange in the world, and it is necessary for government departments to further liberate their burdens. ”

Donn said softly: "President Bush's policy is already very good, and the development of Hollywood in recent years has been much better than when President Clinton was in office." ”

Because of the election system in the United States, the two major parties alternate in power, and they often change their orders overnight, causing panic among the people.

For example, Hollywood's Paramount Act.

After this bill was introduced that year, it was greatly questioned and was shelved for a time, and the federal government once again allowed the combination of film companies and movie theater chains.

However, the bill has not been officially lifted, who dares to do it indiscriminately?

During the Clinton administration, he brought about the prosperity of the US economy and vigorously pursued the policy of corporate mergers and acquisitions and integration.

It was at this stage that Viacom acquired a large cinema chain.

As a result, when the George W. Bush administration came to power, because of the numerous corporate merger and acquisition scandals, as well as the big joke of the merger of AOL and Time Warner, it began to strictly control the merger and acquisition policy.

The Paramount Act is reintroduced.

Viacom's cinema chain will also be forced to operate separately from Paramount.

"Paramount Act" will always be a hurdle that Hollywood can't pass.

Fortunately, with the development of the times, Hollywood has gradually transformed from "channel is king" to "content is king", and the role of cinema chains in the film industry has become smaller and smaller.

The current Hollywood movie giants, no one is interested in theaters anymore. With such a heavy asset, he can't make a few dollars a year, who would be stupid enough to march into the theater chain? Even Lei Shidong found out that the wind was not in the right direction and took the initiative to withdraw.

Estimate...... Only the rich in Asia dare to take over the cinema chain.

Eastwood said: "But the California government has been controlled by the Democrats for a long time. This time, Arnold Schwarzenegger finally has a chance to come to power, and it is necessary to pursue better Hollywood policies. ”

Donn sweated violently.

Schwarzenegger ran for governor just to give preferential treatment to Hollywood?

But when I think about it, I understand.

The pro-people officials in the United States are all voted for, which requires an extremely large supply of funds and connections.

Schwarzenegger's ex-wife is a member of the Kennedy family, but he messes around every day and his private life is a mess, which has long made the Kennedy family mad. The marriage between the two has long been declared broken.

Would the Kennedys support Schwarzenegger so much?

The biggest driving force behind it is probably Hollywood's political resources!

It was Hollywood that propelled him to the throne of California governor!

Such a big thing, Don didn't even know?

His eyes widened in astonishment.

There was a feeling of being thrown out and excluded by Hollywood collectively, and cold sweat flowed down.

Eastwood saw Done's panic and said with a smile: "The election campaign began to be prepared two years ago, and at that time, ...... You're still a little one. Unexpectedly, in just two years, you have entered the inner circle of Hollywood. ”

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you during your campaign. ”

Eastwood lowered his voice and said, "The campaign is still a month away, and our funding chain is broken, and we are short of $15 million. ”

Tang En understood when he heard it, and a smile appeared on his face, "No problem! Hollywood really needs a spokesperson, and there is no reason why New Globe Group should not support it!"

It's not a question of money or not, it's a question of whether or not to participate in the game.

Eastwood stretched out a thumbs up and praised: "The industry says that your kid is very arrogant and the most generous!

He never talked about politics again.

It's.

Tang En secretly said in his heart that he was lucky.

It seems that after going back, it is necessary to communicate with the senior management of the group and strengthen exchanges with government officials.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is the eternal truth.

It is conceivable that with the coming to power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, many policies will loosen and Hollywood ...... A wonderful spring will be ushered in!

……

Zhou Fang Yuxiong is still the same, nodding, bowing, and bowing, in front of Tang En, how much respect and respect there is.

Tang En's face was rigid, and he asked in a tone, "I watched the news on Yahoo, saying that you forced Japanese actress Takaoka Saki to sleep with the black boss?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zhou Fang Yuxiong bowed and apologized again and again, but there were ten thousand doubts in his heart.

This Donn Walker, took the wrong medicine, right?

You have something to do with Saki Takaoka? She's not Yu Aoi!

Your good daughter, Yu Aoi, is being offered like an ancestor.

Tang En shook his head, got into the special car prepared by Zhou Fang Yuxiong, and said, "I don't want you to apologize, I want you to be mentally prepared." The affairs of the entertainment industry, how can the outside media be allowed to chase after the wind?"

Zhou Fang Yuxiong said cautiously: "I have already asked people to deal with this matter, Takaoka Saki's husband has already taken care of it, and he agreed to postpone the time of divorce until next year." This misunderstanding...... Presumably it will be clarified soon. ”

Tang En was still not satisfied, and shook his head again and again: "This kind of thing, no matter how well the follow-up affairs are handled, it is difficult to block the mouth of Youyou, and the best way is to make the entertainment industry a monolith, and it must be airtight! Look at how Hollywood handles it? Lace news can have, this kind of extremely bad behavior, unless it is promoted by another big person, it will not appear in the media at all." ”

Zhou Fang Yuxiong kept nodding, "Yes, yes, there are still a lot of deficiencies in our work." ”

Tang En waved his hand, "Takaoka Saki's affairs have nothing to do with me, and I don't know her at all. However, my business must not appear in the Japanese media. ”

"You can rest assured that Aoi will be under our special protection, and there is no possibility that any news will leak out!" Zhou Fang Yuxiong said confidently.

The entertainment industry is the same, and there are endless incidents of sleeping together.

The father-daughter relationship like Don and Yu Aoi is just the tip of the iceberg, movie stars like Saki Takaoka are also secondary, and the bouncing teen idol groups are the hardest hit areas......
