The traditional Hollywood film model is often to have a script first, and then find suitable producers, directors and actors according to the script.

With the advent of business in the 90s, this traditional model changed radically.

Today's Hollywood is the core production of producers, especially commercial films with a large investment.

It's all because the producer first has an idea, and then cooperates with the film company to set up a project, set up a crew, and then write the script and hire directors and actors.

Both models have their own advantages and disadvantages –

The traditional model is based on screenwriters, so the structure, story, and plot of the movie are better, which is why more and more film critics are criticizing today's movies for being frivolous, simple, and full of loopholes.

But a good story does not equal a high box office.

With more and more capital invested in films, it is impossible for film companies to put all their hopes on the screenwriter's script as in the past, and once the box office fails, it is very likely that they will lose all their money!

So they started to change the way filmmaking was made, and it became a producer core. The most fundamental reason is that most of Hollywood's gold medal producers have a high "market judgment" attribute, and their film creativity is far more in line with the market trend than the creativity from screenwriters.

And these producers, usually "screenwriters" are not very good, so they can only hire some temporary screenwriters everywhere to write stories, and the screenwriter team formed in a hurry will naturally write simple stories, mistakes, and flaws, and the reputation of the movies they make is getting worse and worse.

Film companies all understand such drawbacks, but the lesser of two evils, compared with the loss of money, the reputation of the movie almost doesn't matter.

This is the fundamental reason why today's older generation of film critics and filmmakers are heartbroken and constantly criticized.

It's not that they are brainless against special effects technology, but against the new model of film under the control of capital.

However, Donn is different, he borrowed the sunglasses system to create an unprecedented new model - "analyst-centered screenwriter team accountability".

Tang Encao built a royal team, but as a film company, these people are still too few, he has already thought that as the strength slowly increases, Tang Encao will build three core departments - market analysis department, art analysis department, and big screenwriting department.

The market analysis department with the attribute of "market judgment" provides creativity, and the other two complement each other to frame the script of the commercial film, and then hand it over to the production department for project approval;

The art analysis department with a high attribute of "literary aesthetics" provides creativity, and the other two cooperate to construct a literary film script that can win the award, and then let the production department set up the project.

Such a new model restricts the power of the production department, makes the producer also become a working man, integrates the power of the crew into the central centralization, avoids distractions, and also avoids the disadvantages of the traditional and emerging Hollywood film models.

Most importantly, how many gold medal producers are there in Hollywood? How many golden ideas do they come up with?

Tang En is different, he can easily recruit dozens of talents with high "market judgment" attributes to join the market analysis department. Let these special geniuses discuss and research, so that the excellent ideas proposed by the market analysis department in a month are enough to exceed the sum of ordinary film companies in a year!

This is the greatest backing for Don to realize his great ideals and ambitions!

Even without sunglasses, with the backing of these three departments, Don can rest easy.

……

Three days later, the script for "My Grand Greek Wedding" tailored for Nicole Kidman was sent to her managing agent, Pat Kingsley.

Towne, with his assistant George Paxton, boarded a plane to New York.

September 1 is Sunday, and tomorrow, the stock market reopens.

"Donn, Yahoo stock...... The price is too high, last Friday's opening price was 56, and the closing price rose to 60, in case ......" George also didn't know much about finance and the stock market, and his face was sad.

Don smiled: "Are you afraid that Yahoo stock will suddenly fall?"

George nodded, "Since you invest in the stock market, I think it's better to hire a stockbroker." ”

Don looked cold and shook his head firmly.

Stockbroker?

It's just a bunch of big scammers who can talk to each other, and they have to pay a commission of at least 10%, which is not necessary at all.

Don has information about the future beyond the world, and if you make a move on the stock market, you will definitely hit it with one shot!

If you involve a stockbroker, the consequences are ......

Don shook his head, Wall Street is full of jackals, tigers and leopards who see money and have eyes open, and before they have absolute strength, they can hide as far as they can.

He only knows about a few stocks, Yahoo, Cisco, Microsoft, Google...... Why should such important information be shared with Wall Street?

"I know what to do. ”

There was no need for Donn to dwell on the subject, as he clearly remembered that Yahoo's stock price even exceeded $450 before the bubble crisis erupted.

Just don't be too greedy and strike early.

And at that time, the daily trading volume reached fifty or sixty million shares, and he didn't care about this small amount in Tang En's hands, just quietly fish in troubled waters.

By the opening of the market on September 2, Yahoo's stock price had dropped to 40 yuan per share, and Tang En made a timely move, buying 2.1 million shares at an average price of 39.9, with a total investment of more than $83 million.

Although the amount is large, it is not a big investment in 1997, when technology stocks were in full swing.

Don happily left the NYSE, only to receive a not-so-happy phone call.

"Boss, Nicole Kidman's affairs are a bit of a hassle. Donn's production assistant Glenn Feyero sighed, "Her agent Pat insisted on a $6 million salary,"

Don frowned, "Did she read the script we wrote?"

Glenn Fiero said: "After reading it, Pat said that the script is very good and suitable for Nicole Kidman, but this kind of commercial film, she can't lower her price." ”

"It's going to be difficult...... Don pinched his chin, after investing in stocks, the total budget investment of "My Grand Greek Wedding" must not exceed $15 million.

Nicole Kidman's salary is a bit high.

"Yes, the salary for her participation in "Strategic Killer" last year was $5 million......"

"Wait!" Donn keenly grasped something, "When is that movie going to be released?"

"Strategy Killer? It should be the middle of this month. ”

Don smiled: "Then wait a little longer, wait for this movie to be released, and then talk about it!"

Nicole Kidman...... When did you act in a commercial film that was a box office hit?

The title of box office poison is not in vain, and it is infuriating to say, her agent Pat Kingsley is really not very good at film selection, it is okay to be a nanny, but it is a little worse to be an agent.

It's no wonder that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman left one after another.

In contrast, Kate Winslet's agent Hilda Quirik is much more powerful, first starring in Peter Jackson's "Angel of Sin", which made her famous in Hollywood, then Ang Lee's "Reason and Sensibility", which was directly nominated for an Oscar, and then the famous "Titanic"!

And Cate Blanchett, another artist under Hilda Querry, has a bright star career, not only successfully entered Hollywood, but also recently won the female lead in the historical film "Elizabeth"!

Donn remembers that it was this film that allowed Cate Blanchett to get an Oscar nomination and thus embark on the road to superstardom.

are all Australians, Nicole Kidman's bumpy future and Cate Blanchett's coming from behind are really a portrayal of the agent's ability.

"If Nicole is willing to cooperate, I can push her......"

Don hasn't met Nicole Kidman yet, and he doesn't know what this movie goddess looks like in reality, if she is really beautiful......
