Quentin Tarantino waited outside the door with mixed feelings, and I don't know how long it took for the study door to "click" and open from the inside.

Winona Ryder's ruddy and shiny face was revealed, and she smiled, "Don let you in." ”

"Thank you. ”

Quentin Tarantino nodded and took a deep breath.

However, a strange smell in the study made him dare not take any more deep breaths, so he quickly maintained normalcy and walked in nervously and apprehensively.

In the study, Tang En was sitting on the sofa, and he didn't know where he took out a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years, and unceremoniously opened the bottle and drank it slowly.

This is very rude.

Put it on someone else, and be sure to get a scolding!

Don is different, he did the Tribeca Film Festival a great favor, solved Robert De Niro's urgent need, what's wrong with a bottle of wine?

Donn even suggested that Robert De Niro cancel the entrance fee to the Tribeca Film Festival, so that more excellent films can come in for free.

The "tickets" for each film are only $30,000, and there are more than 100 participating films in total, with a total income of more than $3 million.

It's not high.

Independent filmmakers don't have much money in the first place, and $30,000 is nothing for the upper class, but for those at the bottom, it's a huge amount of money.

At film festivals, it's good to say that the film is sold, but if it doesn't get anything, wouldn't it make it worse?

Since it's an independent film festival, don't play a money-making game like many small film festivals, or at least don't be too blatant.

It's just a $3 million "ticket fee", and it's a big deal that Focus Pictures paid for this sponsorship!

This can further deepen the relationship between Focus Pictures and the American independent film industry, and gradually eat away at Harvey Weinstein's network resources in the circle.

Quentin Tarantino walked into the study, a little overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

Tang En glanced at him indifferently, and casually pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down!"

Then he nodded at Winona Ryder and waved at the wine on the table.

Winona Rader understood, poured another glass of red wine, gave it to Quentin Tarantino, and said with a smile: "This is a good wine from Mr. De Niro's collection." ”

"Thank you! Thank you. ”

Quentin Tarantino thanked him again and again.

Winona Ryder didn't say much, and was in a very happy mood.

was so flattered and thanked by the famous Hollywood ghost director, not to mention that she is now at the bottom of her career, even if she was at the peak of her back then, it was difficult to have such treatment.

Dawn...... Really a big backer!

Steady and heavy!

It's a great blessing to have the opportunity to have some intimate contact with a big person like Don En today.

Tang En doesn't need such complicated thoughts, it doesn't matter if you are a ghost or not, a genius or not, this guy in front of him is just a down-and-out director.

His current career is no better than Winona Ryder!

"If it weren't for Sophia's intercession, I wouldn't have given you a chance to meet at all. ”

Tang En was very polite and didn't save face for the other party at all.

In fact, two months ago, Sofia Coppola broke up with Quentin Tarantino. However, the two are still friends, and Sophia also admires his talent, and doesn't want to see such a talented ghost director end up here, and pleads many times.

Quentin Tarantino opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

A man, but relying on the intercession of his ex-girlfriend, is really not a decent thing.

It's not even as good as the self-reliant Winona Ryder.

Tang En didn't look at him much, drank red wine by himself, and said casually: "Tell me, what are your plans?"

"I want to make movies. ”

Quentin Tarantino hesitated for a moment and stated his purpose.

"Make a movie?" Don said with a mockery on the corner of his mouth, "You don't know about the MPAA's fax file, right? Whoever dares to make your movie is equivalent to losing the opportunity to get a film tax rebate." The new chairman, Dan Lickman, is a layman, but he has close ties to the White House. Over the next four years, Hollywood will be given federal tax incentives worth up to $400 million. ”

Who doesn't rob the money given for nothing?

In the next few years, the whole of Hollywood will inevitably take the lead in the MPAA's decision-making, holding Dan Glickman's stinky feet every day, trying to win more tax benefits.

It can be said that this federal tax incentive is a key factor in Dan Lickman's ability to quickly gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Besides, even without the $400 million tax incentive, no giant company would have invested in Quentin Tarantino under pressure from the MPAA.

Who doesn't know that he offended the president in the White House?

The United States has always been very strict with film supervision!

Not much worse than the General Directorate on the other side!

During World War I and World War II, every film produced in Hollywood had to go through official review before it could be released. After the end of World War II, the federal government came to a wave of rectification, resulting in many directors and screenwriters being imprisoned or fleeing, followed by the "Paramount Act".

Although after President Reagan came to power, he gave Hollywood a free hand. However, there are still many ways to counterbalance Hollywood!

For example, if you want to film on a tertiary highway, you need to apply to the local government, if you want to film on a secondary highway, you need to apply to the state government, and if you want to film on a primary highway, you need to go through the consent of the federal government.

Another example is filming in Central Park, filming at the White House, filming at the Capitol, and filming in antique buildings affiliated with the federal government...... All applications are required.

The federal government can limit it in 10,000 ways.

Even if these are all right, the federation will still have the means of tax rebates, the means of defense subsidies for military films, and the means of "color" subsidies to promote the main theme......

Even if Hollywood movies now don't need to be reviewed by the government, movies must have conventional rules.

A film like "Fahrenheit 911" is absolutely impossible for a giant company to pass.

In the previous life, after "Fahrenheit 911" was released by Harvey Weinstein in a dark way, Disney easily earned $120 million within a year. As a result, powerful figures such as Michael Eisner did not want a penny, and all proceeds were donated to charity.

He's not stupid, he can't lose a big deal because of a small one!

Besides, the current Hollywood film companies are all backed by media giants.

The federal government's supervision of public television stations will be more stringent, and the issuance of licenses will be reviewed every six years. If you really annoy the White House and cause problems with the licensing of TV stations, the sky will fall apart.

So, in Hollywood, none of the Big Six dared to provoke the federal government.

In contrast, some small independent film companies will be more daring, in order to attract attention and make a quick buck, do everything to do it.

Whether it's a movie about politics, religion, race, abuse, large-scale, conspiracy theories, etc., it will be made without thinking.

Anyway, they can't get the opportunity to get a tax refund, so why should they curry favor with the government? Why should they be politically correct?

The strength of the six giants is strong, but there are also many constraints.

Not as free as a lot of small companies.

Quentin Tarantino really didn't understand this kind of truth before, he only knew that following Harvey Weinstein he could eat and drink spicy food.

Fortunately, the changes in this summer made him more aware of reality, and his attitude was very sincere, "I just want to make a movie, and I will ...... in the future." Be a film director who does his duty. ”

"If you can have this understanding, it means that you are mature. ”

Don looked up and glanced at him. The Cannes Film Festival, instigated by the French to be a gunman, has become the biggest joke in the industry.

"I want to make a movie...... On the MPAA side, there is always an explanation to be given. ”

"I need your help too. ”

With a wave of his hand, Tang En changed the subject, "Forget it, who told me to be so kind-hearted." Tell me, what movie are you going to make?"

A touch of excitement appeared on Quentin Tarantino's face, "Comic book movie!"

"Huh?" Donn's heart moved.

"Huh?"

Winona Ryder couldn't help but be stunned.

Comic movies?

No way?

Directed by Quentin Tarantino...... Do you want to compromise with commercial films?

Tang En smiled, "The market for manga movies is huge, whose comics are you going to adapt?"

"Sin City by Frank Miller. ”

"Oh. ”

Don nodded, and sure enough.

Quentin Tarantino added: "Actually, this project, everything was negotiated a few months ago, it is...... It's Harvey who dominates. But then something went wrong and the project was put on hold. ”

Donn remained quiet, "adapting Frank Miller's comics...... How did I hear that the old man was so hard to handle?"

Quentin Tarantino said: "It's true that he asked not to make any changes to the content of the comics, and even offered to shoot some of the ...... himself as a director"

In the previous life, "Sin City" did make a big concession in order to be able to establish the project.

Not only did Frank Miller become the director and directed part of it, but he also promoted a rookie director, Robert Rodriguez, and several directors completed it together.

As a result, the quality of the movie is a bit poor.

It's not at all like Quentin Tarantino's work.

is also an adaptation of Frank Miller's comics, "Sin City" is not far behind Zack Snyder's "Spartan 300".

Tang En said undoubtedly: "No, he can be a screenwriter and a director...... He's not that level! Tell Frank and say that's what I mean!"

Quentin Tarantino was a little excited, "No problem!"

Being able to direct on your own, no one wants to work with others.

"But ......" Donn paused and looked at him deeply, "Who did you decide on the heroine of Sin City?"

Quentin Tarantino lowered his head and said, "The person Frank is looking forward to is Jessica Alba, but I think another Jessica is more suitable, Jessica Simpson......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right with these words, and when he looked up, he saw Don En squinting slightly, and then saw Winona Ryder sitting next to him with an excited face, why didn't he understand?

New York is truly the city of sin.
