Chapter 210 Rules of the Film and Television Industry
Xu Qing didn't care about what McKay said, he knew that McKay had no malicious intentions, and what he said was the truth.
Sunlight Film and Television is now much worse than MGM in all aspects, just like McKay said, the same script is handed over to different film companies, and the movies made are very different.
Those big directors, big stars, you can't hire them if you have money, they will look at the strength of your company, if the strength is too weak, even if you give more money, they are unlikely to cooperate, because it may damage their credibility.
Even if it is more than money, Sunlight Film and Television is not famous in Hollywood, and there are at least 10 film companies in Hollywood that are richer than Sunlight Film and Television.
They are not only rich, but also influential, have a network, and are all successful in all aspects.
In fact, there is another rule in the film and television industry, a movie must have at least a few investors, especially those movies that will be popular and sequels to popular movies, and their investors will basically not be less than 5.
Why is this so, and don't the production companies of those films have the ability to pay all the expenses?
With the exception of a few companies, most studios have the ability to pay for those expenses.
The reason is very simple, a movie from production to release, and then to the copyright later, involves many aspects, it is impossible for all the cakes to be eaten by you, you need to take out some cakes for everyone to share.
It is difficult to survive in the real world if you eat alone.
Of course, another reason why there are many investors in big-budget movies is to share the risk, after all, no one dares to guarantee 100% that the film will be profitable.
Xu Qing is a film and television fan, he has watched many movies and TV series in his previous life, and he can write most movies and TV series into scripts.
The script is different, if you have watched those movies and TV series, you can at least write a general plot synopsis.
Xu Qing only needs to write out these plot synopses, and then hand them over to professional screenwriters to fill in the content, and it can be turned into a script similar to that of his previous life.
Now Xu Qing may come up with a lot of classic scripts, but he can't take them all out, let alone hand them all over to Sunlight Film and Television Production.
Xu Qing's idea is this, these classic scripts, sunlight film and television have the largest investment share, and then he will find some investors who are pleasing to the eye to invest in these scripts.
Mackay has a good relationship with him, MGM is also very strong, and the two sides also collaborated on "Dumb and Dumb", and Xu Qing doesn't mind working with them.
"McKay, you really want to work with me?" Xu Qing smiled.
McKay rolled his eyes: "I inquired, you gave Columbia 3 movie scripts, I read those 3 movie scripts, and I can feel that the movies made by those 3 scripts will definitely explode at the box office."
So far, you have come up with 4 movie scripts, and each one of them is very good, and I believe that you can come up with better movie scripts, and I am an idiot if I don't want to work with you. ”
"You know a lot, you know that I gave Colombia three movie scripts. Xu Qing still smiled.
McKay looked at Xu Qing's smile, and wanted to pull Xu Qing's face, so he forcibly said: "Hollywood is so big, who can hide secrets, and Colombia doesn't hide it." ”
Xu Qing said: "There is no rush to cooperate, let's talk about it after the release of "Dumb and Dumb". ”
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he saw that McKay was anxious again, and said with a smile: "I will definitely cooperate with MGM this year." ”
McKay didn't rush at this time, he touched the wine glass with Xu Qing with a smile, and drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and Xu Qing did the same.
The two put the empty glass on the waiter's tray, took a new glass of wine, and continued to talk.
Xu Qing didn't know the thoughts of those big-name guests, just leave these things to Willy, and the movie is just a tool in his hands.
Xu Qing suddenly smelled a smell of perfume, and soon, a female voice sounded next to Xu Qing: "Good evening, Mr. Xu." ”
When I looked up, it was Liv Taylor, the heroine of "Dumb and Agua".
Xu Qing also smiled and said, "Miss Liv, you are very beautiful today!"
McKay says hello and leaves when he sees Liv, he doesn't want to be a light bulb.
Liv was obviously very happy with Xu Qing's praise, and a bright smile appeared on her face, and Xu Qing was a little surprised to see it.
Liv in the 90s was very beautiful, otherwise Xu Qing would not have regarded him as a goddess in his previous life.
However, reborn in this era, Xu Qing has no interest in Liv, it may be that she has learned a lot of messy things in the film and television industry, and she is a little prejudiced, or it may be that Sophia's appearance is no worse than Liv's.
Liv didn't feel Xu Qing's distance towards him, and said with a sincere expression: "Mr. Xu, I am very grateful to you, if it weren't for you, I might still be playing tricks in Hollywood now, or I might have left Hollywood." ”
Liv's experience in the past few days has touched her a lot, she played the heroine in "Dumb and Dumb", although there are few scenes, but because of the achievements of "Dumb and Agua", she has some fame in the United States.
In the past few days, when she walks on the street, people are looking for her to sign autographs, take photos, and reporters follow her, and more importantly, there are many film companies that want to cooperate with her.
Although they are all the second and third female leads, they have a lot more roles than the heroines of "Dumb and Agua".
She knew that when she auditioned, the heroine was not her, but Xu Qing designated her to be the heroine.
Xu Qing's designation made her think that Xu Qing wanted to rule her, and she was very conflicted at that time, and it was a good opportunity to play the heroine of "Dumb and Dumb", but she didn't want to be ruled.
If she was willing to be ruled, she wouldn't have been so miserable at the time.
After thinking about it for a long time, she made a decision that if Xu Qing rules her first, she will refuse to play the heroine of "Dumb and Dumb".
But to her surprise, since she was set as the heroine, Xu Qing has never looked for her again, as if she had forgotten her.
Later, she also understood that Xu Qing didn't want to rule her, but just helped her, and she thought too much.
"Nothing, this is something you won with your own strength. Xu Qing said lightly.
No matter how sluggish Liv was, now she also felt Xu Qing's alienation from her, she felt a little sad in her heart, was she not attractive at all? Xu Qing was not only not interested in her, but alienated.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Liv hurriedly chatted with Xu Qing for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.
Xu Qing's expression has not changed, he has already provoked a few women, and he can't provoke other women, otherwise this street book will be 404, and the author will lose even the poor full attendance.
Alas, people who are too good are too good to be too much of a nuisance.
