Chapter 95: Alliance

Brian's eyes lit up, he looked at Tang Feng with burning eyes, tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Sean, what do you mean?"

"Let's form an alliance, an alliance that belongs to us independent filmmakers?"

Brian's words were like a bright light, and following his meaning, Tang Feng saw infinite possibilities.

After a moment's thought, he affirmed, "That's right!"

"That's what I mean!"

"Including our Hurricane Pictures, if everyone is still doing their own messes as before, I'm afraid that the final fate is to be acquired by those big companies!"

"Think about it, what a terrible sight it would be when all of our companies became independent production divisions of big companies?"

"At that point, independent films may slowly disappear from this world, and Hollywood will be completely reduced to a money-making tool for big studios!"

"Therefore, we can only hold our position if we unite and advance and retreat together!"

His words were convincing to several people, and I had to admire his foresight and courage.

From the heart, although they are now the bosses of various companies, they still regard themselves as small people in the stocks, and as long as they think of the monopoly of several large companies, they suddenly have a deep sense of powerlessness.

At the same time, in the past few years that they have been tossing, they have not made any too good movies, which is a constraint on the concept of the times, as well as a restriction on capital and strength.

In terms of the development of film, the early 90s was an important watershed, both in terms of creative concepts and production techniques, which underwent earth-shaking changes.

Why is "Killer Tragedy" so popular, it can be said that this movie, which has been reshot by Tang Feng, has redefined the concept of Hollywood action blockbusters to some extent!

Before this movie, many movies still had clear dividing lines.

Romance movies only shoot love, and if there are other plots, they are not authentic; action movies are good as long as there are hot scenes of fights, and the rest is not important; horror movies are hysterical horror......

But is it really good to do that?

Tang Feng didn't think about it, he just expressed his thoughts in the movie, that's all.

He himself didn't expect that "The Tragedy of the Killer" would become a node-like phenomenon, nor did he expect that so many people would like it, and even many years later, it would still be regarded as a classic.

If you have to say something, it can only be said that Tang Feng has brought the production concept of more than 20 years later to this relatively monotonous era!

Although at that time, such a combination of elements was commonplace, this concept appeared in 1990 and had epoch-making significance.

Undoubtedly, this production method has been tested by the market for more than 20 years, and its attraction to the audience is also unprecedented.

If it weren't for all kinds of troubles and intentional or unintentional rejection from the theater chain, the achievements of "Killer Tragedy" would never be just the current box office!

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Although several of you are not the top figures in the industry, they are definitely worthy of the word professional.

Otherwise, even if they had a good relationship with Harvey, they would not have bothered to go all out to help distribute the film.

You know, that's a relationship that even they don't want to use!

And now this young man who has opened their eyes has pointed out the shortcomings of independent film companies, and put forward such a suggestion that makes them so tempting, how can they not make their hearts surging and their imaginations soar?

No one expected that when several other people were weighing the pros and cons, the first to speak was Michael, who had not spoken much.

Moreover, this time he was much more radical than Bob, who had always been active, "I agree with Sean's proposal, why don't we form an alliance!"

"Why can their big companies monopolize most of the resources, while we can only live in fear?"

"I've had enough of this!"

"Guys, haven't you thought that as long as we can form an alliance, then we are not too bad compared to them!"

"Let's take our new line of pictures as an example, although we are not large, we also have a sound management system and a reasonable manpower reserve. ”

"And what about Imagine Entertainment, in addition to these, you also have good producers, if I'm not mistaken, your company just dug up an art studio that is at odds with a big factory, right?"

"Blue Sky Animation, apart from not making a feature-length animated film, what else can't you do?"

"Maybe you're not as good as Disney's animation department, but at least you're on par with Pixar, right?"

Harvey's Miramax also has their own uniqueness in distribution, counting "Killer Tragedy", it has developed in the direction of a first-line distribution company in the past two years. ”

"In addition, Sean's Hurricane Pictures and celebrity agents, although they are both newly established companies, they have also shown good strength, not to mention that you also have equipment rental companies and prop set studios. ”

"If we just gather all these resources, can't we make a few decent movies and stand out from the predicament?"

Compared to his radicalism, Robert was much more conservative, "If we do, then are we still an independent film company?"

"I admit you're very good, and it's really going to change our situation very quickly. ”

"If every movie can make money like 'Killer's Tragedy,' then we can really make a big return on it. ”

"But we really joined forces to make that kind of so-called blockbuster, and if it succeeds, it's easy to do, but if it fails, I don't know how many people will laugh off their big teeth. ”

"Who of you can guarantee the quality of the movie, and who can guarantee that it will be a big hit?"

"I should say that this is a good opportunity, but I don't agree with such blind optimism. ”

The two companies did not have any intersection before, and naturally there was no friendship between them, and when he saw his partner being robbed, Bob immediately quit.

"I agree with Michael's decision, and he makes a lot of sense, if we continue to do this in silos, sooner or later we will be bought by big companies, or we will go out of business. ”

"Instead of struggling to accept that fate, I'd rather tie up with everyone now and fight together!"

"If you don't even have the courage to do that, you don't want to make any movies. ”

"Robert, what you want, no one can guarantee you, not even the five major studios dare to say that!"

"Join us, or quit, you can do it yourself. ”

Bob's words were very polite, which made Robert very annoyed, "I'm just talking about things, am I not right?"

"Moreover, you can't represent other people's opinions, even if you agree, there are new lines and blue sky animations!"

Their argument made Tang Feng very helpless, obviously they were chatting hotly just now, and they looked like they were hating the same enemy, how could it immediately turn into the current situation?

Anyway, things started because of him, and he couldn't watch the two of them quarrel.

Besides, they are all friends of Harvey, and it is not easy to get together here today, and it would not be beautiful to really break up unhappily.

After a deep groan, Tang Feng calmed down: "Michael is right, we really can't sit still like we do now. ”

"I don't know if you agree with my point of view, we Chinese have a saying called sailing against the current. ”

"In fact, each of our companies is like a boat in a river, if we can't meet the difficulties, the final result is only to be eliminated by others. ”

"What's more, in the face of the cruel reality, we are already on the verge of being eliminated!"

Robert's point of view is also normal, after all, this is a big deal for each of us, and we must think carefully before making a decision, so as not to cause irreparable consequences due to impulse. ”

Although he said so, in fact, in his heart, Tang Feng did not agree with Robert's opinion.

He feels that the so-called alliance is just a collection of resources from several companies, where everyone can save up a game and make a few movies to make some money.

It's not said that if they form an alliance, they are not allowed to make their own movies, they can make money while making the movies they want to make, there is no need to go online to say it so seriously.

However, things have developed so far, and the fact of forming an alliance has become inevitable, and Tang Feng has taken the lead as a matter of course.

"Guys, although it was a bit hasty, since this issue has been raised, I will not change my mind. ”

"I agree with Michael's suggestion and am willing to form an alliance with everyone, I wonder what you all think?"

Bob and Michael immediately agreed with Don's proposal, and Chris hesitated for a moment before agreeing to join the rest of the group.

Brian and Howard looked at each other, and after careful consideration, they agreed to join in.

As for Miramax, Tang Feng didn't even think much about it, he was confident enough that Harvey could be on his side.

After hesitating for a long time, Robert finally said regretfully: "I'm sorry, for the sake of my shareholders, I can't make this decision hastily." ”

"But I still hope that you can succeed, so bless you. ”

With that, Robert got up from the couch and left the room alone.
