834 is all about profit
MGM chose to ignore the protests from the outside world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is not the truth at all, the more you can argue, the clearer it becomes. On the other hand, if you talk to them, those people will be more energetic.
And now they are just a small protest, and there are no radical remarks. There were no armed protests, at most a few small signs.
Liu Anran is very comfortable here, the movie is getting more and more energetic, and now he is back in Boston, and some of the shots here can be officially completed after the reshooting. Even if the filming of the film went well, the time was in mid-October.
"I knew that as soon as I made a film, I would definitely be kept busy and not have much time." Liu Anran, who was smoking a cigar and sipping red wine, was very leisurely, but he was complaining in his mouth.
"I feel that I have had a very fulfilling time in the past few months, does the film "Brokeback Mountain" need me to make some remarks to support it?" Leonardo, who was in a similar state to him, said with a smile.
"Don't, you have to be honest. I didn't let anyone in the crew make a statement, how can I get you involved. You just film and watch the drama honestly, and it's OK to earn a salary. Liu Anran shook his head and said.
This protest wave is much bigger than remembered because of the behind-the-scenes involvement. Now, no matter which actor wants to get involved, he will be broken at the worst, and he will be broken at the worst.
"Andy, I'm curious, in the past, when you encountered such a situation, you would win the direction of public opinion as soon as possible, why are you so low-key this time?" Jack? Nicholson asked curiously.
"This time it's not just a film, but a lot of things involved." Liu Anran said with a wry smile.
"I'm telling you privately, this film is related to this year's Oscars, and it is also related to the theater chain we are about to acquire. Now, if we speak out, we will give others an excuse to make this opposition more and more loud. ”
"Everything will wait for the film to be released, and then I will have to take a small notebook and settle accounts with them one by one. If I don't slap their faces, I'll take their last name. ”
Liu Anran is a very grudgeful person, there was a repetition of the theater in the two days at the beginning of the year, and in the summer, they finally sat together and talked carefully. But as the opposition to "Brokeback Mountain" became louder, their attitude became ambiguous again.
The acquisition of them now is different from Wanda's acquisition of them later, when it was a wholly-owned acquisition, and now they choose the method of cash and shares. Judging from the current situation, they just want to raise the price of the theater chain, and then let them occupy a larger proportion of the shares.
In fact, it is nothing more than that as long as they are given a high percentage of shares, they can meddle in the matter of "Brokeback Mountain". If other people's theaters can't manage it, can't they manage their own? Even if some regions have a bigger rebound, they can also be released in other places.
After all, the interests are what they value, and they also know that such a boycott will continue until the end of the film screening. When the New Year is turned, no one will think about this again, and the impact on the theater chain will be negligible.
The abacus is very good, but can Dream Media be coerced by them? Of course not. Just like Liu Anran said, now it's time to hold back the beans. After the release of "Brokeback Mountain", in exchange for a high-scoring reputation, he will be able to make a big move when the time comes.
It's useless to fight with them now, at most, let the people who are agitating behind them follow and watch the fun. If you want to fight, you have to beat them.
Leonardo and Matt? Damon participated in the dinner that day and knew that Liu Anran had great plans for "Brokeback Mountain", but they didn't know that this film was actually linked to the acquisition of theaters.
The feeling in everyone's hearts is a little different, the only thing that is the same is that these big companies play and are really high. If Liu Anran hadn't said it, who would have known that there would be mutual involvement in things that seemed to be impossible to beat?
"In fact, in the process of our company's development, it has not been so smooth. Including when Dream Media was just founded, we have been running for a long time for the release of "Ghost Shadow". Liu Anran took a puff of his cigar and said.
"In the final analysis, in fact, these big companies can't see the development of small companies, and they want to keep the good ones for themselves. If you can't get it, you'll find a way to limit his development, and it's best to kill him. ”
"Even MGM now uses a similar approach, but softer. We can work with a wide range of independent film companies to distribute their films. But that's it, and it's impossible to give them many preferential policies. ”
"And for the rest of the big companies, we've always been competitive. In fact, the major film companies are not only competing for rankings and influence, but also for box office share. ”
"MGM was trampled under their feet all the way a few years ago, and now they are not very happy when they see MGM alive again. Whether it's Disney, Warner, Universal or Fox, which has been working well with us, we will more or less help push it in this matter. ”
"It's normal, just like when Disney swept the Weinstein brothers out of the house, didn't people flock to dig up Miramax almost?"
"It's all about money, and as long as there is the slightest opportunity, they won't let it go. But we're not that easy to bully, and we're also going to do it to Paramount. also poached a gold medal producer from them, anyway, they are calculating each other. ”
He is also a little bored, these people have been filming together for so long, and they can be regarded as people who know the roots to say so much. In fact, even if it is spread out, it is nothing, and outsiders know that it is impossible for them to gently put this matter down without any retaliation.
The key to everything depends on the reputation of "Brokeback Mountain".
"It won't be long before all the scenes here are filmed, do you have any other ideas? What kind of celebration are we going to do? Liu Anran asked with a smile again.
"It's up to you to do this, you're the boss anyway." Jack? Nicholson said with a smile.
"OK, I have a small island in Panama, and when the shooting here is over, we will go to the island together for two days." Liu Anran said briskly.
That island has long wanted to go over and experience it, but he has been busy filming and doesn't have much time.
