Soon, a red Lamborghini was unabashedly low-key, it was a convertible model, different from Chen Tiandu's "Tesla", with plenty of horsepower and equipped with the iconic "scissor door". This car was actually bought by Kate on a temporary basis after the premiere of "Fast and Furious". Because of that period of time, it happened that Kate was implicated in "Pearl Harbor" and was a little unhappy.

Kate went out and dressed up specially, wearing a sexy and elegant plain dress, with a big toad mirror on the bridge of her nose, like a celebrity who was about to attend the party. With a smile on his face, he opened the passenger door for him, and then drove out neatly.

The beauty of the car is extremely eye-catching wherever she goes, not to mention a pair of big star couples.

Kate may have enjoyed being the protagonist, she drove the whole time, and Chen Tiandu was also happy to play a "little white face" and accompany the rich woman around. She went to many places on this day, and she met a lot of friends in the fashion industry, all of whom she met when she was preparing for the show recently. Every time she went to a place where people gathered, Kate would affectionately hold Chen Tiandu's arm and announce that she was the master.

Chen Tiandu has never shown such a high-profile show, and occasionally does it, and thinks it's not bad. stayed at home with Kate for a few days and helped her improve the program plan before returning to the company to work.

The most eye-catching of this year's summer file is undoubtedly "Fast and Furious", followed by "Shrek", "The Mummy 2", "Pearl Harbor", "Tomb Raider", and "Rush Hour 2". Entering the autumn file, "Dragon's Kiss" starring Li Lianjie has also achieved a good box office, and he has another "Savior" this year that may collide with "The Matrix 2".

The behind-the-scenes production of The Matrix 2: Reloaded has been completed. The group is reunited. After many discussions, the three parties decided on the release version. The rating after submission remains R. Now it's only left to study the slot, and then promote the release.

Regarding the schedule, the first one scheduled is the Christmas file, and there is no dead date signed, and it can be fine-tuned. The specifics have to be carefully studied, especially this year.

Because there are so many high-profile blockbusters in this year's Christmas schedule, "Monsters, Inc.", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Ocean's Eleven", "Black Hawk Down" and the powerful magical masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" are all coming.

Of course, for these competitors. "The Matrix 2" is also a strong competitor, and what is put in front of them is just to pick an opponent and then provoke them.

Warner wanted to pick "Monsters, Inc.", but Chen Tiandu objected. Although "Monster Inc" is an animated film, it is more like a summer prime time when it enters the Christmas file, and the power of family movies has been witnessed in "Shrek". This time there is another "Monster Company", who dares to guarantee that it will be worse than "Shrek".

He chose "Ocean's Eleven", but DreamWorks and Warner did not agree, after all, the strong lineup of "Ocean's Eleven" is obvious to all. And the director is still in direct competition with Chen Tiandu, Steven Soderbergh.

But Chen Tiandu insisted and proposed a temptation that the other two parties could not refuse. "Let's take the hype about my rivalry with Steven, which lasted from the Oscar podium to the end of the year, and there should be a lot of people who will be interested."

Anyway, there is no topic, not to mention that the matrix is at the forefront of online viral marketing, and Warner only expressed his opinion slightly, because "Ocean's Eleven" is also a movie released by them, but in the end it was decided.

The premiere will be held in New York on Thursday, November 28, and it will be officially released worldwide on the 29th.

This is the third week of release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and the week before the release of Ocean's Eleven. When it comes to picking "Ocean's Eleven", it is not to pick the results of the first week, but to fight with the results of the second week.

After the schedule was finalized, the topic of "the continuation of the Oscar competition for best director" immediately appeared in the media, putting together the two movies "The Matrix 2" and "Ocean's Eleven". The giants are masters of hype, and joint hype, for the sake of interests, there is no need to worry about the hype losing its direction.

With the full development of "Fast and Thrilling", Matrix Films has once again made a lot of money, with a global super box office of $886 million, and Matrix Independent Productions and Distribution. Aside from the cost of $120 million, you can end up with an after-tax income of nearly $240 million. Because there is a contract with an advertising sponsorship, as long as the global box office of "Speed" exceeds how many billion, they will subsidize the remaining $20 million, which is completely extra profit.

When this huge amount of money was successively collected from various accounts into the matrix financial library, it also greatly alleviated the financial pressure of the company's continuous large-scale investment. If the matrix were to be listed now, that box office result would be enough to send the stock skyrocketing.

What's more, DVDs and soundtracks have begun to be sold online, and these post-peripheral income projects have been successively contracted to other film companies for distribution. Because the matrix seems to be a little powerless in this regard, if this also comes by itself, it is equivalent to seeing that the money cannot be made. They are far from being able to compare with large companies in the development of peripheral products, and although they will share the profits after they are distributed, they can ensure that the profits will also roll in thereafter.

It's easy to get things done with money in your pocket.

With such a background, Chen Tian can also make "Pirates of the Caribbean" without any worries about finances. The film has been calculated and analyzed by a third-party budget statistics agency, and the initial budget of the film has reached about 150 million US dollars. It will be borne by Matrix and Disney in a 6:4 investment ratio.

The matrix will be responsible for the production of the film, and Disney will be responsible for the global distribution and peripheral development of the film. Global distribution and peripherals, this is the weakness of the matrix, and it is also the most important reason why Chen Tiandu is willing to find Disney cooperation on this film. He knows very well how much interest the Pirates of the Caribbean merch is, and he can't bear to let the classics be dusted.

It's a collaborative society, and eating alone doesn't work in Hollywood.

Only with the help of Disney's strong peripheral development capabilities can the benefits of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" be maximized.

On September 10, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" announced the formation and recruitment of actors, and the huge film casting work officially kicked off, attracting the attention of all young men and women who want to become famous in Los Angeles, and also allowing the national agency to break the threshold of the matrix.

"Strange-looking, I feel like a pirate!" This is the interview requirement issued by the crew to the actors' union.

As a result, on the first day of the interview, more than 4,000 people came, all of whom were all kinds of strange characters.

These knowledge supporting roles, for the other two protagonists, all brokerage companies salivate about it. CAA is particularly eager for the main creative lineup of this movie, not to mention that they have always wanted to get Chen Tiandu's brokerage contract but cannot.

"There's CAA in Hollywood, and then there's other companies." FastCompany gave this review. Fortune magazine praised CAA as "the most influential company in the entertainment industry."

It is not the earliest performing arts agency established in the United States, but it took them only 30 years to complete the legend that their opponents have failed to achieve in a hundred years, occupy half of Hollywood, and far surpass William Morris and other established agencies, and few stars can refuse an invitation from CAA.

CAA is the "boss" of Hollywood artists, and Hollywood's most authoritative "Premiere News" calls it "one of Hollywood's most influential institutions", and some media call it "Hollywood's "Hacker Empire", because the company's agents are like the agents in the movies who wear sunglasses and black suits, designing and controlling the acting careers of almost all artists.

At first glance, such a description may sound exaggerated, but it is, especially in the American film and television sector.

Taking movies as an example, about 2/3 of Hollywood's first-line stars are signed under CAA, with an all-star lineup of hundreds of people, and if you add musicians, writers, etc., the total number of CAA signed artists exceeds 1,000. The superstars such as Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Nicole Kidman quoted at the beginning of this article are all from CAA, and they can only be regarded as a few outstanding representatives of the CAA family.

CAA's huge influence in Hollywood is not only because the signed artists are extremely well-known and large-scale, but also because the company's artists are complete and well-organized.

Taking movies as an example, CAA not only has super-first-class actors such as Shuangtang, but also super-first-class directors such as Spielberg, as well as very good producers, script writers, etc., it can be said that if Time Warner wants to invest in a movie, from the script to the post-production of the film, CAA can provide a full set of teams, and they are all top candidates.

This is exactly where movie giants are afraid of CAA, because CAA usually does not provide individual artist services, but fights as a whole, and actors have to use CAA's scripts, directors, and producers, and they have to pay a lot of money, and sometimes CAA can also ask for a commission on film revenue. As a result, movie giants often complain that it's CAA's bundling that drives up the film's labor costs.

Chen Tiandu once refused CAA's invitation, but he didn't expect to hit this big ship again when he started filming a new film.

"Mr. Chen, I think this is the best opportunity for you to cooperate with CAA." The middle-aged man Ovis sitting in Chen Tiandu's office talked eloquently.

Chen Tiandu said: "Could it be that CAA recommended actors to me?" Any actor is welcome to audition, as long as they meet the requirements. ”

"No, no, no," Ovis said, shaking his head and smiling with a determined smile, "It's a win-win strategy, and everyone knows the benefits of joining CAA." As long as Mr. Chan places the brokerage contract in CAA, we can provide the full set of requirements. All the starring, production, and logistics lineup will be easy, and they will be top-notch. Do you think that if the role of Will Turner is starring Tom Cruise, even Elizabeth can find an actress of Catherine Zeta-Jones level. With the addition of Mr. Chen himself, what effect will this lineup have when it is announced? ”

He was talking, but Chen Tiandu couldn't help laughing. (To be continued......)
