Hollywood, the mecca of filmmakers all over the world, because here, film is not only art, but also industry.

Yes, film has formed a unique industrial system in Hollywood, which is often referred to as the "film industry". Starting from the core film production and distribution, to theatrical releases, publicity consultations, award ceremonies and other peripherals, this complete film industry system brings endless money and wealth to filmmakers who are mixed in every year.

Why is the salary of a Hollywood star a movie tens of millions of dollars, why is the publicity cost of a Hollywood movie even higher than the investment of a movie, and why are filmmakers all over the world proud of winning the Oscar...... It's very simple, because Hollywood's film industrialization is too high, and the gap between Hollywood's film industrialization and that of other countries and regions is calculated according to "light years".

As for the Chinese film market, which has developed better and better over the years, hehe, there is still at least 2 Bollywood + 3 Europa + 4 Japanese and Korean movies between it and Hollywood. I have to say that compared with Hollywood, Chinese movies still have a long way to go.

However, these have nothing to do with Su Chenyu, he is a businessman, a mercenary businessman. A businessman, and a mercenary businessman, can't save a country's film industry, even if Su Chenyu engages in Huayi Sisters, it's just to make money - that's all.

Then again, why can Hollywood movies run rampant all over the world and reap the box office everywhere?

It's very simple, it's because of the existence of Hollywood's eight major studios!

There is no doubt that the eight major Hollywood studios rely on strong and advanced production capabilities and resources, and it is strange that the films produced and distributed do not explode the films of other countries and regions into scum - of course, there are cases of this, and Hollywood also has big bad movies.

However, no matter what, you can never deny that the eight major Hollywood studios are not only the eight giants of Hollywood, but also the absolute giants of the world film field.

It can be said that this big cake of the world's film market, more than 7 percent or even 8 percent of the share, has been eaten by Hollywood represented by the eight major film companies.

In pyramid-structured Hollywood, the Big Eight is the most powerful "Big Eight Rogues" (actually seven, MGM bought Luen Mei Pictures), and they guard this small vested interest group at the top of the tower, controlling all the resources and upward channels - never allowing other film companies to come in and get a piece of the pie.

This is why MGM and Disney, although they seem to be fighting to the death, but in fact there is no real mortal enmity between them at all - even if there are disputes and disputes over small interests, they are definitely comrades on the same front in the big principle.

In fact, Spielberg and Katzenberg have long had the idea of setting up their own film companies, especially Spielberg, after "Schindler's List" was rejected by Universal, he felt the urgency - it feels really bad to be controlled by people.

However, how can Hollywood's "Eight Major Film Eras" be so easy to get along with?

Of course, if you just want to make a small fuss, then there is absolutely no problem, not only will the eight major film companies not suppress it, but will warmly welcome and support it, because small film companies will eventually become "blood slaves" for the eight major film companies. However, once you want to become big and become a side-by-side existence with the "Eight Major Pictures", then I'm sorry, the "Eight Pictures" will definitely not even leave you with scum.

Proud people like Spielberg and Katzenberg naturally disdain to just be other people's "blood slaves", they want to become giants like the "Eight Major Pictures". So, whether it's Spielberg or Katzenberg, they're actually waiting, waiting for a chance to soar.

Now, they've waited for a chance to become Hollywood's ninth-largest studio.

That's why Spielberg agreed to cooperate with Su Chenyu so readily before, so Katzenberg agreed to Spielberg's invitation without hesitation - with the financial support of Su Chenyu, a "capital giant", coupled with MGM's escort, Spielberg and Katzenberg really couldn't find a reason not to succeed.

At Starbucks, not far from the MGM headquarters building, Su Chenyu shook the coffee cup in his hand in boredom, and his eyes swept over the main entrance from time to time - it was obvious that Su Chenyu was waiting for someone.

Generally, others wait for Su Dashao, and Su Dashao and others are really rare, but this time Su Chenyu and others are really worth waiting for, because this is his "cash cow".

Finally, the person waiting appeared, Su Chenyu smiled and waved his hand, then stood up and shook hands with the two people who came over - these two were naturally none other than the famous Spielberg and Katzenberg.

Although he recognized the bald head next to Spielberg at a glance, Su Chenyu still said with a smile: "Steven, this is the famous Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg, right?"

"Yes, Sue, this is Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former CEO of Disney Films. ”

Nodding, Su Chenyu shook hands with Katzenberg again, and then said solemnly: "I really have admired the name for a long time, 'Hollywood ghost' Katzenberg, I finally met the real person today." ”

I rubbed it, hearing Su Chenyu praise it so much, Katzenberg was really a little embarrassed, he felt that he was really unqualified for the reputation of this "Hollywood ghost", after all, he had just carried a "pot" not long ago.

"Mr. Su, it's too much of an award, it's too much of an award. ”

Laughing and waving his hand, Su Chenyu said: "Mr. Katzenberg definitely deserves this reputation, okay, let's sit down first, what do you want to drink? ”

"Whatever. ”

Also, this is a Starbucks café and it's not a high-end café, and there won't be anything good, not to mention that everyone is here to talk about things, not to drink coffee. If it was for coffee, Su Chenyu would never invite the two of them to a coercive place like Starbucks, and the reason why he chose this place was to hide people's eyes and ears - to prevent being discovered by unscrupulous media.

Everyone is an "old driver", and Su Chenyu doesn't need to: "Mr. Katzenberg, I probably believe that Steven has already told you about the matter, right? I don't know what you think?"

Taking a sip of the coffee in the cup, Katzenberg nodded, and then said, "Mr. Sue, you can call me Jeffrey." Steven has already told me that my presence here today shows that I am very willing to be partners with both of you. ”

Listening to Katzenberg's words, Su Chenyu and Spielberg looked at each other and smiled, and said: "That's great, with Jeffrey joining us, the future of our film company will be brighter." ”

Su Chenyu agrees and respects Katzenberg's ability and strength very much, otherwise he would not have worked so hard for this guy, and even media giants such as "Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post", CBS, and ABC have moved out.

"Steven, tell Jeffrey some ideas for the new company. ”

For something as professional as a movie, Su Chenyu said that it is better for professionals to do so, and in the final analysis, he is a "money-payer".

After receiving Su Chenyu's words, Spielberg nodded, put down the coffee in his hand, and said: "Jeffrey, that's the case, the new film company is still mainly based on production at this stage, and as for distribution, we are ready to cooperate with MGM." Of course, there is no doubt that we will definitely be involved in the field of distribution in the later stage. ”

In addition to the production of live-action films, the new film company will also have a department dedicated to the production of animated films. After all, you also know that the overall profitability of animated films is significantly better than that of live-action films, and the additional peripheral output value is also quite huge. ”

……

In a row, Spielberg introduced the specific situation of the new film company to Katzenberg one by one, in fact, there is nothing to say, both of them are "old drivers" in the film industry, and these things are all clichés.

The most important thing is that these things are just inconsequential superficial articles, and the real substance has not been discussed.

Seeing that Spielberg had almost introduced Katzenberg, Su Chenyu motioned for Spielberg to take a coffee break, and he took over and said, "Jeffrey, do you have any questions about what Steven said?"

Shaking his head, Katzenberg waited for Su Chenyu's next step.

Not disappointing Katzenberg, Su Chen Hugo continued unexpectedly: "After the new film company is established, I will not come forward, so the specific management will be in charge of you and Steven. As for the company's most important animated film division, my opinion is that I hope you can take over. ”

"What do you two think?"

I have to say that Su Chenyu's words really made Spielberg and Katzenberg happy, after all, there are too few such "capital tycoons" who do not meddle in the company's specific affairs. As a filmmaker in Hollywood, being able to take charge of a film company, a film company that is likely to become the ninth largest film industry, is definitely a dream that everyone is always chasing.

Now, this dream is in front of Spielberg and Katzenberg, and there is no reason for them to refuse.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

As Spielberg and Katzenberg nodded their heads in agreement, the new film company formed by the three of them was basically decided, so the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"Then what should our film company be called?"
